Delete repeating events

How do I delete recurring repeating events in iCal? I can delete individual events but am never asked if I want to delete them all.

Select that event open the info window that set an end to your event.

ICal keeps deleting repeat Events

I created some events with the repeat option ON for every month. When I delete an old event with the repeat option ON, I press delete only this event keep repeats ON, but iCal deletes all repeats. How can I solve this?

This is the iSync forum - iSync does not sync to .Mac.
The *.Mac Sync* forum is here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
However, there is an online document relating to the issue (found by typing the error into Google):

HT2513 How do I delete repeated events in iCal?

I subscribed to the Boston Bruins schedule and added it to my iCal on my work cell (iPhone 4). Unfortunately I share my calendar with my personal cell phone (iPhone 5), and I already subscribed to the Bruins Schedule on that phone. Now on each phone, I have 2 games per day.

Deleting a single instance of a repeating event deletes the series

Has anyone noticed that deleting a single instance of a repeating event (e.g. deleting tomorrow's occurrence of a regular, weekly meeting) deletes the entire series? This is when using the calendar via the iCloud.com website. I've had this happen at least 3 times.
Configuration:
Ubuntu Linux 10.10
Google Chrome 12.0.742.91
Andrew

This happens without iCloud when you sync your calendar to MS Outlook/Exchange - it always deletes the whole series and makes it so I can never delete items from iPhone or iPad. IOS calendar is pretty lousy - won't let you edit things like the reminder time or location of the meeting, etc. when it comes through sync with Outlook/Exchange.
Wish Apple would actually make their calendar app useful or let a third party release a better one. Same goes for managing Tasks. E-mail is pretty good, but Calendar and Task management is lousy. And we don't even get to rate these apps like we do 3rd party apps.

Repeat events are not deleted...

Does anyone know how to remove the repeated event in iCal especially after it has been edited to be an item designated as "all future events"?
I attempted to delete several events that were assigned as repeating by going to the original event and editing the occurrance. When prompted I clicked the "all future events" button to apply it to all of them but there are still events showing up in iCal. Very frustrating!

Hi Janiv,
Base on my experience, Events will be deleted after retention period which is by default 1 day and this can be configured up to 7 days. It seems that user cannot delete the event data until the data is expired.

How do I delete a few occurrences of a repeating event?

Every time I delete an occurrence of a repeating event it returns next time I open iCal
This did not use to happen
Do I have to edit the event and put a finish date and set up a new recurring event?

Tommy,
To remove a single Frame, I would zoom the Timeline to the max. Then, in that Clip, find the Frame that you wish to remove. With the CTI (Current Time Indicator at the last good Frame, hover the Cursor over that spot, until the Scissors Tool pops up (PrE 11 & 12), then click to Cut that Clip. Then, use the right arrow key, to move 1 Frame to the right, and perform the same operation, as above with the Scissors Tool. That will Cut your Clip on either side of that Frame. Rt-click on that Frame, choosing Delete & Close Gap. What version of PrE are you using? ATR, in Reply #2 covered the Scissors Tool, so there should be no difference here - other than placing the CTI on either side of that Frame.
Note: there are considerations to using that method. I assume that you also want to Delete the Video & Audio for that Frame. If they are linked, then the Scissors Tool should Cut both. If they are not linked, you will probably need to do that for both the Video & Audio. Then, if you have Video, or Audio above/below that Frame, you will not be able to automatically Close Gap. Just something to plan for.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

Repeated Events in Calender can not be deleted

Grrrr. Figure this one out!
There are a ton of repeated events in iCal in Dec/Jan (all the same event repeated). I can not delete them as it says "Only the organizer can change this event". Furthermore...
They are now syncing with the iphone but there is no "Delete" button there (as it was sent by someone else).
Let me know if you have any ideas...thanks.

Thanks JZ. This actually was a specific event (I had the same problem you described initially). The difference was that ME also showed the dups - just let let me delete.
I finally found the origination of each event...it let me delete those....odd, but worked

Repeating event: Can't delete - pops back up

Hi,
I have several weekly repeating events. Usually, during my vacation or on other occasions, I simply deleted the repeating events for these out-of-the-row week - until now.
All of a sudden iCal won't let me delete these events anymore. Well - it asks the standard question if it should remove all following repeating events or just this one. I select "just this one" - and iCal deletes it for about 3 or 4 seconds. And then - surprise! - it's back there!
Feel kind of fooled here..
Hint: Since some months, i synchronize my iCal with an iPod. Maybe it has to do with it. But it functioned even then until today...

Hey Foxboy71,
Really sorry, this is completely off-topic, but there's no private messaging on the Apple Forums. I note you used to use a TASCAM FireOne, and I was hoping you could tell me whether the line outputs on the rear are balanced or unbalanced stereo? TASCAM dropped the ball on this one regarding the documentation and I've been calling every shop I can find that ever stocked this thing and still haven't got a definitive answer
Like I say, sorry for hijacking the thread, but you've no idea how hard it is to find someone who's actually used one of these!
Regards,
S.

Is there any way to delete a single occurrence from a repeating event in Calendar?

I've got an event that repeats every week...except for next week. Is there any way to delete a single occurrence, or do I just have to stop the repeating event the week before and restart it the week after?

it depends on the system load as well as the number of records that ur present request is carrying.. if the number of records are huge then obviously the time of deletion will also takes longer time...
The only way is to maintain the multiple Wp assigning to ur activity.. and thus the deletion will takes place quickly.. and this also needs to be taken into the consideration of the other loads as well..
Thanks
Hope this helps

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
Post another message to this thread if this did not resolve your problem

Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events. I would like to delete all events with the same title. I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually. These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well.
Please help!

If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

Repeating event sync

I, and a couple other folks I know, have encountered a problem where changes to repeating events made on an iDevice running ios 6.x do not sync properly with iCloud and thus other devices or Macs.
If I edit a single instance of a repeating event on my iPhone 4S or iPad Mini to, say, change the time by an hour for that instance only, it show up properly on the iDevice on which I made the change, but the change never appears in iCloud and thus other devices.
If I edit all future instances of a repeating event on my phone or iPad to change the time by an hour for all future instances, it creates future instances at the new time, but never deletes the originals, so I end up with duplicated events in iCloud and thus on other devices.
If I enter or edit repeating events in iCloud or on my Mac, everything syncs properly across all devices.
I have tried cycling Calendar sync off/on on ios 6 settings and I have tried completely deleting and then signing back into my icloud account on the ios devices with no change in behavior.
I'm certain this problem did not arise until ios 6. I have found several forum references to this problem with respect to Google Calendar syncing, but haven't found references to iCloud syncing.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I'm wondering if it is related to the Exchange sync bug that was introduced in ios 6. Regardless, it's making a mess of my workflow to not be able to make changes to repeating events on my iPhone or iPad. Changes to all non-repeating events sync fine.
Rick

@Soonsay,
Is the repeating event by any chance an all-day event? If so, how did you specify when it ends? I've noticed this problem with all-day events, but it doesn't occur for all repeating all-day events. I once opened an all-day event in iCal and specified that it should repeat ending on a certain day. This displayed properly on the Mac, but included the day after the ending-on day on the iPhone.

Repeating event not allowing to edit single event

I have a repeating event set for every week, but for one of the weeks I wanted to change to calendar and time of the particular event. Normally, I get a box that asks if I would like to save for this event only or for all following events. I have not been getting this box and it is editing all of the events in the series. It was working fine this morning :/ I've restarted my phone already.

I tried getting rid of duplicates in FontBook. I tried deleteing the iCal.plist file and restarting my mac. Nothing works. I can not edit any entry in any way except to drag it to a new place. I also can't open iCal Preferences. I have iCal 4.0.1 - is that the current version?

Google calendar sync - deleted repeating items do not sync to iPad

Hi,
I'm syncing several Google calendars with the iPad. (the calendars are also synced with my computer, through iCal.) I have several repeating items in the calendar, but when I delete just one of them, the change is not reflected on the iPad. (iCal on the computer syncs just fine.) I have tried both Exchange and CalDAV, but the event deletions do not sync. How do I resolve this?
Incidentally, I do not use my "main" calendar in Google calendar, but use other calendars I created instead. The calendars are not public and no one else is subscribed to them.

I read that, and I tried it as you said - I am using the Exchange server, with push enabled. I even deleted the Exchange account and restarted it.
It seems that this only happens when I alter events in the past - future repeated events work just fine. Maybe the exchange server only pushes alterations to events in the future? I've tried changing the Sync option in Settings -> mail, contact, calendars, that lets you set how far back in the past the calendar should sync events, but as far as I can tell that option doesn't even work. (my events remain synced to one month past.)

Editing of repeating events not saved

SInce upgrading to Yosemite, my repeating events in iCal are self deleting. New edits are not saved. I can print out changed calendar, but when return to it, info has been deleted!

D@sh...
Did you ever figure this out ???
Let me know if so
If not ... I am having similar issues ...
