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.

  • 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.

  • TS3999 why does the calendar delete past events?

    why does the calendar delete past events?

    Hello 123Giblet,
    The iPhone has a setting for how long a past event will appear in your calendar.  I found steps to help you change this setting in the iPhone User Guide:
    Calendar settings
    There are several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars that affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
    •Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
    •Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
    •Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone
    When you tap on Sync, you will be given several options for how long you want past events to stay on your iPhone, and there is also an option to select All Events so that they remain on your calendar.  You can find this information on page 69 of the iPhone User Guide

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • What does one do when iPhoto version 7.1.5 only opens one event without showing all photos?

    What does one do when iPhoto version 7.1.5 only opens one event without showing all photos or any other events?

    Depends -what other clues? What recently changed? Do you have a good current backup?  best guess is to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - and repair the database - if that does not resolve things rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • Delete a calendar without deleting past events? (iCal 5.0.3)

    Hi,
    Is there a way I can delete one of my calendars on iCal without losing all the past events? Right now, if I just delte it I get a warning that all event in that sequence will be gone.
    Thank you

    Actually, I've figured it out. In order not to lose the past events in a calendar I can export the whole calendar. Delete it, then Import it into a calendar that I don't want to delete. This way all the past events will remain.

  • My iCal runs very slowly. Is there a way to delete past events quickly without having to delete each event individually?

    Ever since my new Mac OS update, my calendar runs very slowly, sometimes freezing. What shall I do? Could it be that past events are slowing it down? If so, how can I remove them easily without having to scroll through everything and press delete?

    What settings have you in Preferences/Advanced delete events after they have passed?

  • 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.

  • TS3999 Deleted past events from shared iCloud calendar. How can I get them back?

    I have accidentally deleted all past events from shared iCloud calendars when removing from one mac. How can I get them back?

    i deleted notes fom my old iphone and surprised to see that they have been deleted from my new phone ..how can i get them back ...i dont have any backup??
    Why would you be surprised?  You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account.  Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose.  Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

  • ISync wants to delete past events

    Thanks

    Choose Reset Device from the Devices menu to make iSync send all data from your Mac to the phone again.

  • Can I delete an account without loosing all the emails?

    I now haw 2 accounts in MacMail, each with their own handfull of mail. One account is for a now obsolete email address.
    I'd like to delete it, leaving me with only the current and active email account / address. However, I can't loose all of the emails that at associated with the obsolete account.
    Any way to delete the account without deleteing all of the messages associated with it?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    First of all, quit Mail and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    If you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail and move there the messages currently stored in the account’s mailboxes, you won’t lose them as a result of deleting the account. How to do that is explained in the following Mail Help articles:
    Creating a mailbox
    Organizing your email
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Why can't I delete an event in the All Events window pane in iMovie 10

    Hi, I can't delete an event using select event, file, send event to trash can. It says: The operation cannot be completed. The Library must contain at least one Event.
    When I hover on the event pane I can see different parts of the clip. I don't want this to be visible as it is a surprise movie for the (nosey) family.
    How can I remove it from the All Events list?

    If you don't what to see the event connected with your project to show, just create a new blank event and select that.  You can't delete the last event in a library. 
    If you have shared a movie and don't ever want to edit it you can delete  the associated event (provided the event is not the only one and doesn't contain clips used in other projects).

  • Auto delete past events missing in new calendar?

    This feature is missing from where it use to be.  Is it gone, or is it in a sneaky place I have failed to find?  It use to be under preferences->advanced.

    Ethan,
    It is gone from the desktop version of Calendar. If you are an iCloud user, it can be found in the Calendar Web App>Preferences>Advanced.

  • Why does ical delete my past events when all settings indicate that it should not?

    All of the boxes, about deleting past events, in ical preferences are unchecked, so I can't figure out why ical deletes my past events.  Could it be because of a setting on either my iphone or ipad causing this to happen?

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago and called apple support.  The solution is as follows:
    Most apple users have multiple devices using icloud such as an iPdad, iPhone, and other computers.  In my case, I had two computers, two iPads, and one iPhone.   After speaking to apple support, I realized that one of my ipad's setting were set to delete events older then 2 weeks.   In short, if you are expeirienceing problems with ical deleteing events, you better check all your devices.  If just one of them is set wrong in your preferences, you will lose past events.   Even check computers you gave to your cildren or other members of the family.  You will probably find out that the settings on one of these machines is causing your problems.

  • Deleting past calendar events on sync with desktop manager for mac? How to proceed

    I am new to Blackberry desktop manager for mac.  It is all set up and first sync is done without a problem.  Now when I try to sync, I get a message that over 600 of my past calendar items will be deleted if I continue with sync.  I need to keep previous calendar items, is there a way to solve this problem and not delete past events?  I am sorry for asking this question, I am just new and very unsure of what I am doing.  I had used missing sync before, but when my blackberry had to be replaced, new blackberry wouldn't work so I wanted to try desktop manager.  HELP!  Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. checked space, had to delete 2 apps. was set to forever, just changed to from 30 days in past to 18 months in future hoping it would make a difference on sync. Still trying to delete 1256 events.
