Delete or Edit an iCal event on my iPad

Hi,
Is this possible? I don't seem to have an Edit option on the Event(s) just a Details option.
Thanks,
Nicola

I am having the same problem. I can create personal events on ical on my macbook but I cannot edit them from my ipod touch. I've been using ical on my macbook and ipod touch for years so it's not that I simply do not know where the edit button is. It shows me the details but there is no edit button. I can onyl edit events i create on my ipod. Also, when I do create events on my ipod, the editing page shows me event name/location, start/end, repeat, alert, URL, notes, and that is it. I cannot choose which of my calendars I want to put it in, which is extremely frustrating because right now they are all going into my personally created "birthdays" calendar. I can edit these from my macbook but not being able to edit them on my ipod is a big problem.
Help?

Ical Help needed- can not delete a four year ical event

I accidentally sent an ical event that lasts for four years and now I he cant delete it and it is taking up more and more memory on his phone as it is repeating infinitly every day?? Have tried restore but it still syncs with icloud. is there an easy solution?

First you have to know which calendar your client saved the event to. Usually by default it saves to the native Calendar app. If that is the case, he should be able to log into iCloud and delete the event (decline the invitation) from there. If your client saved the event to an external calendar that he has synched to his iPhone (Yahoo, Google, etc.) he may be able to delete it or decline it from there, which should in turn remove it from the device.
The logic here is that only the creator of the event invitation can edit the event details, so that if they do that, all of the recipients of the invitation will get the updated information automatically. I agree it leaves a lot to be desired to stick things on people's calendars that they can't at the very least just simply delete if not edit. I will no longer accept invitations directly on my device in order to avoid this. I will add the event to my calendar manually from now on.

ICal events entered on iPad don't show up on other computers

Using Mobile Me I sync calendar and contacts on three computers. I got an iPad and now when I enter an event on the iPad it does not show up on any of the calendars on the computers. Also, the one event will replicate itself up to 16 times on my iPad. This renders the iPad virtually useless for entering info into the calendar. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
I have unauthorized each computer and reset the sync data with all devices, but the same results occur.

Are you using the MobileMe calendar beta?

Batch editing of iCal events

Hello, does anyone know how to batch edit multiple events in iCal?
Here is my senario. I have a new phone that I can sync with iCal but it does not understand all-day events. All other events sync without any issues. No problem, I will just change all-day events to a specific time. But the problem is that I have several calendars with a lot of reoccuring all-day events.
How can I change all of these to say midnight or two am or whatever? I looked through the stock and 3rd party automator actions but they pretty much just have searching, filtering or deleting, no batch editing.
Anyone have any applescripts that can do this?
Thanks!

Try this. Note IT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED so backup your calendars first. I think just changing from all day will give the events a start time, but if not you will need to set the start time as well.

set TheEvents to every event of every calendar where (allday event of it is true) and (recurrence of it is not "")
repeat with ThisEventList in TheEvents
if ThisEventList is not missing value then
repeat with ThisEvent in ThisEventList
set allday event of ThisEvent to false

Upgrade to 10.5.7 deleted all of my iCal events!

About a week ago, I upgraded to 10.5.7 via Software Update. The update ran well, I didn't get any error messages or timeouts. However, whenever I went to sync my iCal with my Blackberry the other day, I noticed that there were NO events in iCal whatsoever. This really bothers me since I use this program a lot for work and school appointments.
I know issues like this have arisen in the past, but before I followed previous posts, I wanted to check with you all on here. I have also installed the combo update since this issue has occurred.
Is there any solution to this mess, or should I wait until another update comes out to fix the bug? Please help!
By the way, I (somewhat) regularly backup my iCal, however right before the "incident" I entered several appointments into iCal. So restoring from a previous backup just isn't going to be enough.

I know this won't be the answer you were hoping for, but system updates do not modify files in the user's Home folder. The more likely explanation is a problem on your computer or a problem with a sync previously performed prior to when you updated, so that these two incidents are merely coincidental and not causal. It's highly unlikely this is a bug with the update.
I know issues like this have arisen in the past, but before I followed previous posts, I wanted to check with you all on here.
True, there are always issues but before you ask here you should check for those previous posts so you don't end up duplicating a topic already in progress.
In the future make it a practice to be sure you have everything backed up currently before updating. See the following suggestions for avoiding problems with system updates:
Essential Steps Before Updating OS X!
Please do things right before updating OS X in order to avoid problems.
A. Repair Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means your backup drive (should be erased first.)
Source means your startup drive or volume.
C. Download the Standalone Combo Updater from Apple.
Be sure you quit all running applications and disconnect all peripherals (except original keyboard and mouse) before running the installer. When the installer is running do not use the computer in any way other than to respond to an installer dialog.
Install the update by double-clicking on the installer package icon. When the installation is completed Restart the computer. Your computer will boot twice - this is normal. Upon completion of the update use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Not all permissions will seem repaired. You will get spurious reports regarding permissions related to iTunes, Front Row. These can be ignored. They will appear every time you repair permissions.
Following these basic steps should prevent most if not all updating problems. Note that if you have unrepairable disk problems reported in Step A then DO NOT update your system until those problems are resolved.

ICal event flashes on iPad

Some events in iCal iOS7 for iPad, are flickering. In the same way, the time red line is always shaking between the actual hour and + or - 30 min. Very annoying.

Thanks Roger. I had set it up correctly on the computer, but kept going to the calendar settings on my iPad instead of iCloud. You hit the nail on the head. The iCloud on my iPad was not set to sync the calendar. Strangely, my calendar wasn't working at all. I couldn't add events either because there was no plus sign. As soon as I set up the iCloud correctly, everything went onto the iPad and I got my plus sign back. Phew! I primarily use my iCal on my iPad, so I wasn't sure what to do. Thank you!

How to sync iCal events back to iPad from Macbook?

My iPhone events have all successfully imported to Macbook, but they won't sync back to iPadmini. I've tried to push them through iCloud and also manually but no success.
The sync works vice-versa - i.e. iPad events will sync to Mac.
Using Maverick

Please try the following...
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why do all my Calendar events on my iPad 2 disappear when I try to edit an event?

Ever since I updated my iPad 2 to iOS6, a strange quirk occurs with Calendar. If I try to edit a Calendar event on the iPad (no matter what the event is or when it is), all the events in my entire calendar disappear from iPad. They don't actually "delete" themselves because I can then click on Calendars and add my Gmail calendar back. This is extremely annoying, though, and I'd hate for it to decide to wipe them all out food good one day. Has anyone else experienced this bug, and have you found a solution?
Thanks!

You can sort Events manually, but you cannot sort within Events manually. So I'm not sure what you're asking here.

I can no longer EDIT nor VIEW events created in iCal...

I have a problem with my iCal in that I can longer edit nor view events.
I can create events, but only the first line of the details for a new event. I am not able to edit or add more info in any way after that (date, time, details, etc.)
I can delete the event though.
When I say I cannot edit nor view events, this problem occurs when double-clicking, when right/CMD-clicking, choosing the relevant command from the menu, or when typing the keyboard shortcut of either CMD-i or CMD-e.
Nothing works. Nothing happens. It's as if I have chosen to do nothing at all.
I have an iPhone which I use to sync events between my Mac and my iPhone, but without being able to properly create an event on my Mac with a chosen time and alarm, etc. iCal on my Mac is almost useless. All my events now have to be created on my iPhone - even when I am sitting right in front of my Mac.
The only use my Mac's iCal is to me now is for pop-up reminders after an event from my iPhone has been synced to my Mac.
The problem I am having with iCal is happening with all the calendars I have set up.
I have no online subscriptions, everything's local.
I have my iPhone set to auto-sync with my Mac for all data.
I am running the latest versions of iCal, the Mac OS (Leopard), the latest iPhone OS, etc.
I tried deleting all my iCal preferences from the ~username/Library/Preferences, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting all my calendars from within iCal in case there was a corrupt calendar, but that didn't work.
I trashed everything I could find that had anything to do with iCal (knowing I could restore from a recent Time-Machine backup), but still nothing worked.
Even when I had an empty iCal to work with, creating a test new-event revealed the same problems of not being able to edit the event after the first line.
I have since restored all my data from the backup I did the other day, so I am back to square one - not that anything I tried before this actually moved me off square one in any way...
Can anyone help me here? It's getting really frustrating having to type all my events out on the iPhone screen, especially when I'm sitting at my computer.

Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

Deleting multiple entries of identical event in iCal?

Two events entered in iCal were duplicated from original date in all following dates of the calendar. These are the only events which produced multiple duplicate entries. Cannot delete the duplicate entries using 'Delete' key or 'Delete' in 'Edit'; the multi-colored spinning wheel (whatever it is called) appears in either case and will not stop until iCal application is forced to quit. I will appreciate help in removing the duplicated entries.

Butch28- There is a forum dedicated to iCal. I bet if you ask your question there you will get a much faster response. Good luck.

How do I delete or edit an event on my calendar?

When viewing the details of the event I do not see an "edit" button. I tried swiping the event to get a MSG box asking to delete but that did not work either. I'm having issues with iCal syncing through iCloud, wonder if this is related ? Worth noting I can delete calendar events on my iPad just fine.

Figured out this is just a functionality issue. I can delete the app only on the device it was created. Seems pretty stupid this is not possible!

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone.

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone. It does not have the edit button at the top of the screen.
The event does not show up in iCal on my Mac or on my iCloud.
One of these is a reoccuring event.

The only other thing I can think of is to try deleting the entire calendar from your iPhone and then sync your iCal calendar to your phone again. This needs to be done carefully. I would begin by backing up your iCal calendar on your mac for safekeeping by opening iCal, then going to File>Export>Export, save this on your desktop. Then do the following:
On your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn Calendars to Off. You should get a prompt asking you whether to keep or remove the calendar data from your phone. Choose to remove it.
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to iTunes>Preferences, go to the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing".
Now connect your phone and, as before, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings. Confirm that you have checked to Sync Calendars with iCal, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone check Calendars, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
This should transfer your iCal calendar to your iPhone, hopefully this time without the problem event. Check your phone to confirm that this was successful, then you can then go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.

Cannot see or edit time of events in iCal

I cannot see or edit times in iCal any longer, only dates. This affects only one user, so I guess that there is a corrupted user-specific resource file somewhere that I could try renaming/deleting. Does anyone have any ideas?
I believe that this condition was triggered by creating an iCal event from Mail.
More details and a screenshot at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=8110912&postcount=10
Thanks for any hints/suggestions.

Eventually found in System Preferences -> International -> Formats that my region was set to "Custom". I have no idea how this happened - I certainly never set this directly through system preferences.
I selected "United Kingdom" as my region, and the times showed up in iCal once again.
