Delete events without notifying

Is there any way to delete events in iCal without notifying recipients? I not only get duplicate calendar items sometimes, but spam messages with ical events. Do I really need to notify spammers that they've got a valid email address? It's either that or stare at their event in iCal.
I've read some old posts on the topic, and it appears the only solution is a commercial program. Surely there must be a better way...

Hi,
One way would be to unplug the machine from the internet before changing the events in iCal, then delete the response emails from Mail's outbox before re-connecting.
Note: I have written some shareware software to help people deal with this issue, but I'd hardly call it 'commercial'.
Best wishes

You'll be more likely to get help with this if you ask in the iPhoto forum:

You'll need to tell people what version of iPhoto you have so they can give you correct advice.

Outlook Add In - Hook into delete event without having to open the email.

Is it possible to hook into the BeforeDelete command without having to open the email to fire the event. At present my code will hit the BeforeDelete event when the email is open and delete is selected, but it does not fire if deleting without opening
the email.

Below is the Property MailItem I have in a class called MailItemContainer:
/// <summary>/// Gets or sets the Mail Item property/// </summary>public Outlook.MailItem MailItem

How can i delete an event on ical without notifying

Hello
how can i delete an event on ical without notifying. All I want to do is delete the event and not notify anyone.
Thanks

I was just experiencing this problem on Mountain Lion. The calendar I wanted to delete was on iCloud. So, I logged into iCloud from a web browser, and selected Calendar. On the current incarnation of iCloud Calendar the calendars are listed on the left. I selected the "Edit" link at the top of that list and chose delete. It indicated that the items would be deleted, but there was nothing about notifications. Then, when I went back to iCal on my Mac, I selected the calendar to be deleted, right clicked, and slected refresh...
... gone.
It probably would have disappeared on it's own eventually. I'd be curious to see if theis works for others, so please confirm.
Good luck.

Delete without notifying removed in Leopard iCAL

In the new iCal Apple has removed a function that was useful when dealing with events sent to you by others or invites you sent to others. In Tiger you had the options of "Cancel", "Delete" and "Delete and Notify" for events you sent or sent to you by others that you had accepted.
With Leopard the "Delete" is no longer available. You can only delete events sent to you by notifying the sender or recipient. This is a real problem when syncing issues cause double ups. You can't delete a duplicated event without a message being sent telling the recipient or sender that you have cancelled the event!

Here is a script that I modified to work with iCal in Leopard. It deletes duplicate events without sending notifications. Cut and paste it into Script Editor change the calender name to the right one for you then save it to the scripts folder. It will appear in your scripts menu. When ever you have duplicates that you want to get rid of run the script.

How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone?

How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone? I've searched the Web and the only answer that comes back is to use a product that doesn't help me with Microsoft Exchange. This seems like a fairly simple thing to fix, but has been outstanding for 3+ years. Really? Am I the only person who wants to remove old meetings from an Exchange calendar without whacking the entire calendar and its appointments and without having the original participants getting spammed?
I'm using the built-in "delete events xx days after they have passed", which you would think wouldn't do this. Guess again. I cannot control the fact my clients use Exchange, and it's a fairly common e-mail system for enterprises to have. Are there any solutions?
Thanks!

HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

I have a big problem.
I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
(Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
Thank you

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

How can I restore deleted iCal events without removing current events?

I have just discovered that iCal on my Laptop has been deleting events older than 30 days (as per the default), even though it's supposed to be syncing via MobileMe with my iMac which has this disabled.
I have made backups and exports from iCal in the past. The former, iCal backup files, will apparently overwrite the whole calendar and restore it back to that point in time, which is surely rather useless? If there's a way to use one of these files without deleting new events, then please let me know.
I did import a previous export taken in August 2007, but that still leaves a large gap.
I have also been backing my iMac up in TimeMachine for the past year - is there a way to restore my Calendar this way without reverting new events?

Hi crcamp1,
If you have multiple backups, your previous backup may still be available. Details are found in this article.
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
Where your backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
Restoring is further discussed at the bottom of this article.

Delete past events without telling all invitees it's cancelled?

So here is an example...had a birthday party last night that I invited several family members to using iCal invitees feature. They all accepted the invite. The party was yesterday and I'd like to delete from my calendar. However, if I do so it's going to send an email out to everyone saying that the event has been cancelled. It wasn't cancelled, it was yesterday.
Is this just a weird bug? Is there some way I can get rid of past events without it doing this?
Thanks!

I'm at the point now where I'm ready to give up and delete the back up but how do I delete the backup without deleting all the information in it?
You cannot.
Apps are not stored in the backup. They are in iTunes.
Photos should be on your computer in your photo application or saved to a folder you saved them to from the iPhone.

Delete events properly in C#?

Hey I'm new to C# and I've been told by the instructor that if I want to delete an event I just remove it and when I go back to the design an error pops up, I just double click the error and remove the code from designer.
Is there a simpler/cleaner way to do this? I remember with vb, it was easy to just delete the event without any problems to the form design.
So it this method safe? Are there alternative/better ways?
Thank you!

The definition in the designer never gets removed so you have to delete the code from the designer just like you did. There is nothing wrong with modifying designer code as long as you are very careful. Often I will change position
(left, top) of a control by modifying the designer code to get a precious location.
When I start a new project, sometimes I will copy sections of an old designer. To avoid modifying designer code I will set the control properties in my own code. I will add controls on the form and initially set a default position/size but then
adjust the position/size in module code.

Dangerous deletion events Photoshop CC - MachinePrefs.psp

Hi,
I was trying out Photoshop CC and discovered it has a dangerous tendency of deleting certain folders (or sometimes only their content) on my computers when the "MachinePrefs.psp" file is missing from the AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Photoshop CC Settings folder.
The MachinePrefs.psp file is where the scratch disc drive is designated. If, for some reason, this file is missing, or no scratch disc is expressely designated in the MachinePrefs.psp file, it will delete the contents of any 'first' (alphabetically) folder both relative to the location Photoshop is installed in, and the first folder on the C:\ drive. This doesn't happen to folders protected by the system, so it won't happen to the first folder in Program Files or any such location (well, on Windows 8, that is). But if you have a custom folder on C:\ and run Photoshop without the MachinePrefs.psp file (or with the file but no scratch disc designated), it will delete that folder on C:\. For example, I created C:\appie. When I ran Photoshop from a custom location outside system folders, and then exited Photoshop, C:\appie got deleted!
Normally, when you install Photoshop CC it will create the MachinePrefs.psp file and in the .psp file it will designate C:\ as the scratch disc. When MachinePrefs.psp gets deleted somehow, and you run Photoshop, it re-creates MachinePrefs.psp. But, when it does, even though under Preferences it will say "default(C)", the selection box will not actually be selected, and inside the psp file it will not list C:\ as the scratch disc location (can be checked with Notepad). If I then run Photoshop (I've been running it from a non-default install location -- not in Program Files), it will delete the (alphabetically) first neighbor-folder or its contents. To clarify, I might have a folder called "my apps" on C:\ and it has app folders in it:
C:\my apps\7-Zip
C:\my apps\Adobe Photoshop\Photoshop.exe
C:\my apps\Defraggler
(etc.)
Now, when I run Photoshop.exe without the MachinePrefs.psp (or without the scratch disc properly designated in the automatically re-created .psp file) and close Photoshop, it deletes the contents of C:\my apps\7-Zip folder! (Or any other folder that happens to be alphabetically first in the 'my apps' folder.)
OK, if, at the same time, I have another alphabetically first folder on the root of C:\ (so one directory up) -- for example I had a security monitoring app installed to C:\dvr -- it will delete that entire folder as well upon exiting Photoshop! So what it is doing is consistently deleting any first folder relative to the Photoshop.exe location, as well as any first folder on the root of the drive it is on. No way should an absent or improperly configured .psp file make Photoshop delete any folder of file at all!
So this is a major bug and a very, very dangerous one. I have confirmed this to be the case on both Windows 7 and Windows 8, both with and without UAC enabled, etc. When I performed system snapshots I was able to tell that Photoshop creates a temp file, which, upon exiting Photoshop gets deleted. It seems that, along with the deletion of this temp file, those 'first folders' on C:\ and the root folder in which the Photoshop app folder sits, get wiped too.
Please look into this bug. I have tested CS6 and earlier to make sure it is not contingent on the MachinePrefs.psp file only, and it is not deleting anything with earlier version of Photoshop. Only Photoshop CC/CS7 is doing it and it is doing it consistenly over several test machines.
Thank you.

It has nothing to do with system peculiarities. This is consistent over several testing beds.
If I had to argue this issue from a standpoint of reason, as you do, I certainly would not have come up with anything like this either. But this is not a thing of reason, it is a bug. Hence, repeating what it should do or however many times something has been tested, will not help in this case. What would help is if someone would repeat the process and find it out for themselves as well (validate it). Based on reason and probability I would perhaps say the same thing you have. But what I'm trying to show here is a little more than a hunch and a little more than the peculiarities of any one system. I think I have done that rather exhaustively. What is needed now is to reproduce it and fix the bug. Adobe fixes many bugs in incremental releases, so it shouldn't be a surprise if indeed something like this happens.
There is no third-party utility involved, and no plugin. It would be hard to get a more pristine and up to date Windows install than the ones that stem from my sysprep and capture sessions

User events vs notifiers

I’m trying to determine which methodology to employ – Queues and Notifiers or Event Structures (and User Events). I’m hoping that if I describe my situation, someone will offer their wisdom. Here’s what I intend to do. Right now, most of this has yet to be written, so it’s really just a pile of clay waiting to be molded. I do have the TCP/IP VI working (somewhat).
Current Design: I have a VI that allows a user to configure a UHF radio. I used the State Diagram Toolkit for the initial design. It has a tabbed front panel where the user can go to set frequencies, change power levels, run BIT, etc. Each of those tabs has a least one button that allows the user to send the configuration (http message) to the radio over TCP/IP – right now it’s http, but it will ultimately have to be https. I’m trying to use Stunnel to setup the secure link but that’s not quite working yet. I have a “AcceptUserRequest” state that contains an event structure and handles the different user button presses. I don’t (currently) use a queue to buffer the key presses, but I feel I should in the final product. This VI is fairly stand alone right now, but as I’ll describe, it needs to change significantly given what I’d like to do. I’ll refer to this VI as the RCTx in the next par.
Future Requirements: Ultimately, we are gong to be running TestStand to control a production acceptance test procedure (ATP). In that scenario, TS will call a number of VIs, each will perform some test on the radio. As part of each test, the VI will need to configure test equipment to prepare it for measurements, and it will have to configure the radio. Here is where I need the help. I planned on kicking off (from TS) the RCTx in a separate thread. It would open a TCP/IP connection with the radio, and (ultimately) open a secure https link. Using the “Connection: Keep-Alive” parameter, I planned to keep the secure link open all the time and not close the connection, as you might normally do with TCP/IP after each tx/rx session. I didn't want to have to go through all the handshaking every-single-time I wanted to talk to the radio.
Anyway, using events or notifiers, I’d like each test VI to be able to tell the RCTx to send MsgX to the radio to get it ready for the test. I would then take some measurement, tell TS pass/fail, move on to the next test. In this mode, the RCTx front panel is hidden from the user, and simply receives messages from test VIs. However, engineers would also like to use the RCTx standalone, without TestStand, to experiment with the radio. In that case (like it is now), I would have to process key presses, etc.
Given those requirements, what might be the best architecture to implement that will allow processing of keypresses in stand alone mode, and handling of messages in the TestStand mode?

I included the link to the LAVA discussion in my post above. There are a few code examples that were posted there that you could use as a starting point. The network queue conceptually isn't any different than a normal queue. The main difference is that it uses a TCP socket connection to actually pass the data. This is required if you are passing data between two different machines or two different applications on the same machine. In both cases a native LabVIEW queue would not work since the applications are not sharing an instance of the LabVIEW runtime engine. In the thread I posted the creation of the queue is smart enough to check and see if a native LabVIEW queue can be used. If it can it will use that. Otherwise it will use a native LabVIEW queue internally and layer than on top of a TCP connection for actually passing the data.
The fact that this is defined as a class or in terms of OO should not sway you from using it. It is a fairly self contained package and isn't much different from using any other subVI.

Itunes show deleted events in iphoto

Hi guys,
as firts sry for my english :/
I done all updates for my system (10.8.2, iPhoto etc) yesterday, now I have a confused bug.
After install the new update for iPhoto, my libary done an "refresh", ok thats normal after an update. In iPhoto all events, pictures etc are ok, but in itunes (iphone-> pictures) I get an very confused bug. itunes show me by events an incorrect sort (ok thats the small problem) but he show me deleted events, too :/
I merge some events to an new event in the past, but now itunes show me the old not existens events and complete delete events too.
Albums and faces are without this problems.
Did anywhere have the same bug or now an solution for this?

iPhoto uses an xml file within the Library package to do this sharing to other apps. It may be malformed in some way, often it doesn't work terribly well with non Ascii characters - that is anything except 0-9 or a-z. So, things like & or diacritical characters à or ë or whatever, can cause problems whereever they are used.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Find the AlbumData.xml file and open it in a Text Editor.
Search it for non-Ascii characters and replace them. Save it and try again.

Deleted events from my calendar

I have deleted many important events in my ipod touch, this morning i deleted a specific calendar thinking that i wouldn't need it, along with deleting the calendar i deleted all of its events without thinking. i need those events back and am having a hard time getting them back. is there a way to get that calendar and its events back?

Restore the iPod from backup. If you are restoring via iTunes make sure the autosyncing is off otherwise when you connect the iPod the backup with the calendar might be overwritten. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

Calendar Sync Alert lists deleted events that I don't want deleted?

When I sync my iphone and macbook pro I get a calendar alert because it will change 5% of my calendar events or more. Problem is - the items it's listing as "deleted" have not been deleted? what I mean is that I didn't ever delete them from either device and I don't want them deleted but there is no way for me "deselect" these items. I just have to cancel the sync so I don't loose all the events it's lising and my calendars remain unsynced. How can I remedy this without loosing the events?
Thanks, Heather

In iCal on your computer go to Preferences/Advanced, and uncheck the option to delete events after a period of time.
