Deleting a Scheduled Event in iCal ?

Okay, I scheduled a few things and, alas, life being what it is, I had to make some changes. However, I found I was unable to delete the initialed scheduled event--I finally resorted to just "cutting" it. Is this the only way to delete an event?

Make sure you select/highlight the actual item, not just the day or time, and then hit delete.

Deleting a recurring event in iCal

Situation; iphone 5 recurring event wont delete. looking at same calendar on a synced PC (work) the event is not there at all.
If you are having trouble deleting a recurring event in iCal try this:
on your iphone change the event "alert" or "show as" setting on one of the events in the future. The event that wasn't showing on the PC outlook calendar magically shows up now. delete it from the PC by opening it and choosing the X delete for all occurances (if its asks).
Now open the event in iCal and you should see the Accept Maybe Decline option at the bottom - choose decline. you may have to do this on several dates, but that should delete the event.
Hope this helps.

pedfogog,
... or whoever may find this post in need of assistance as I was.
I just had this same problem and successfully deleted ALL event (past and future)instances by :
1. Click on any instance of the event in the calendar
2. Select "Delete" from the iCal toolbar "Edit" menu.
3. The iCal propmt asked me to choose to delete all or just the one instance.
4. Naturally, select to "Delete all occurrences"
I am running OS 10.6.8 iCal 4.0.4

Deleting a single event in ical

But today i decided to delete the even through my icloud calendar -- and it has deleted the complete series, right from where it started.

Make sure you select/highlight the actual item, not just the day or time, and then hit delete.

Can't delete a repeating event in iCal.

I have an event that occurs every other Friday throughout the year. I need to delete it, but it only disappears for one or two seconds then it reappears. Anyone have an idea on how to permanently make it go away?

Odd thing is happening in iCal when creating a new event, clicking on the plus button creates a new calendar and not an event.
This is normal. You can create a new event by double-clicking within the day in any of the views (in Day or Week view double-click on the time for the event): select the calendar you want to add to in the sidebar first.

Can't delete calendars or events from iCal

I'm trying to delete Calendars from iCal, but after I delete them, they reappear. I've tried deleting the calendars and calendar cache from the user library, but to no avail. In addition, when I try to change or delete an event, it ends up duplicating the event so that there is multiple copies of the same event on the same day. I've tried to find someone else who has had this problem, but came up empty. Any suggestions? Can I get rid of iCal and reinstall it somehow?
P.S. there are multiple users on this computer, but only one of them uses iCal.

Good question.
You do not have to remove the entire directory. However, there are other caches besides the com.apple.ical directory that may be present that can impact iCal's performance. These directories are often created by non-Apple programs involved in syncing (Entourage, Pocket Mac, Blackberry software, Palm Desktop software, etc.)
The question is, which caches might be there for each unique computer setup and are they doing something to iCal? That takes a great deal of work which few people are willing to do (not to mention you have to know which folders are the culprits)
Cache files are re-generated once the program that uses them is launched. I have never personally encountered a program that stored any vital data in the cache. Caches are (in general) used to improve program performance of an application during use, not to store data.
For users that are concerned about their caches, removing ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal/ is certainly an acceptable alternative (if not all encompassing).

HT4901 schedule events in ical that are older than 90 days are gone

where did my scheduling of events and such go to. they just disappeared after about 90 days

Hi Ed,
I tried executing this manually and it's not deleting the snapshots at all.
begin
statspack.purge(trunc(sysdate-90),true);
end;
I even let it for an entire day and then altered the code like this...But when I execute it, it doesn't deleted the data..
begin
statspack.purge(trunc(sysdate-1),true);
end;
When I do a select sysdate -1 from dual; it gives the correct date?
Could there be a "NLS Setting" some where causing this?
How do you determine that it is not deleteding data? (please show evidence)
How, and how often, are you collecting a statspack snapshot? (please show evidence)

Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar. However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken. this is big for us. We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based). There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support. I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley. Oh well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac? Specifically for google calendars?

Duplicated events on iCal after moving to iCloud

Hi, i just updated mi iphone 4 to iOS5, then updated iTunes, then updated OSX Lion to 10.7.2, then moved to icloud...
Everything seems to be ok, but there's a problem: my events duplicated on iCal in my macbookpro...
Every input has cloned itself!
But, when checking on icloud and on my iphone, no duplicates!
So... what should i do?, 'cause if i delete a duplicated event from iCal in my computer, leaving only one, the event erases at all in iCloud and in my iPhone...
Weird.
Any suggestions?
I appreciate your time, thank you!

Hi Jorge. I just went through this entire process. I was able to rid myself of duplicates, however, I am still trying to figure out how to match a hard copy to my Mac without creating duplicates.
- Make sure you have your events on the Mac
- Go to iCloud on phone and turn off iCloud on everything (for now). It will tell you it will delete everything off iCloud (this is fine if you have everything you need on your Mac).
- Go into iTunes on Mac and "turn of Sync with this iPhone over Wi-fi" & check "back up to this computer"
-Go to info tab in iTunes on Mac. Check sync "contacts" & sync "calendars"
- While you are in the info tab also check "calendars" & "contacts" in the Replace Information on This iPhone section under Advanced.
- Synch
- If everything matches up properly go back to iPhone and turn iCloud back on for what you want
- Go to iCal on Mac and in the top left hand corner there is a "calendar" button that when you click it, it shows calendars for "On my Mac" and "iCloud".
- You can delete the "On my Mac" calendars to rid yourself of the duplicates.
***This is how I did it. You may be able to just delete the "On my Mac" calendars but I am not sure if that will take them off of iCloud and your iPhone. You can give it a try first as it may be less time consuming.
So, my issue is still trying to figure out how to keep matching calendars as a backup on Mac without the duplicates. Any takers?

Downloaded ical events deletes the previous event

I download ical events from a website regularly. I get emails for different events as they are announced and I click the link to add to my calendar. The problem is that when I download a new event, iCal deletes the previous event even though the events have different, titles, times, URLs, etc. I'd like to keep previous evens as a historical record. Worst of all, events are being deleted before they even occur when I have multiple events scheduled closly. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I have a small application called Multi Event Filter available on the Mac App Store which creates Calendar events from text or spreadsheets. While not really what it was designed to do, a side effect of Multi Effect Filter is that it retains the times entered for events in the titles.
You can find more ablout Multi Event Filter here.

How to delete duplicate events in iCal

Somewhere along the line of upgrading, syncing, etc. with MobileMe we had, no joke, thousands of the same events duplicated. We started out trying to shift-click to delete multiple events at a time, but since it is syncing with MobileMe everytime this is done, it was taking forever. So, I went to View menu, Show Search Results. Then, did a search in the top right corner of iCal. All the duplicates appeared in the Search Results screen at the bottom of the pane. Then, within that pane, you can shift click and delete all/multiple events more easily - way more easily. Hope it helps someone.

Thats a good tip Reggie.
For anyone else reading this post, keep in mind that if you see "duplicates" with the MobileMe calendar it may mean you are seeing two separate copies of the same calendar. Before spending time deleting individual events read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505

Deleting New Event in iCal on iPad

Unwittingly, I have "entered" a "New Event" in iCal on my iPad 2. I would like to delete it but haven't been able to do so.
Does anyone know how I can delete the "New Event"?
I would appreciate your help and suggestions.
Thanks.
Vernon

1. Click on an event.
2. A bar with a dot on then let side, the name of the evet, and a hardly visible small edit button on the right side will appear.
3. Click the edit button: the edit window will open.
4. Scroll down to the large red Delete Event button.
5. Click the Delete button.
New iPad, latest IOS. I do not see the Trash icon mentioned in the other post. Maybe an earlier IOS.

I have an iPhone 4. When I use iCal (which is now synched to my Macbook) which is housing my google calendar, I can't invite anyone to my events in iCal. I have to go to the google calendar website and schedule it from there. My wife has a 4S and she can do it right from iCal on a google calendar. What am I missing?

Bugs with Lion! Cannot delete events in iCal and other stuff...

First, sorry for my English, I speak French...
I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and on my girlfriend's MacBook Pro and I have the same problems on each computer! Help please!
I try to delete an event on iCal and it always comes back!! I cannot delete it and I cannot delete an entire calendar too! It disappears and 10 seconds later, it's back!
I also removed an icon from the Dock but when I restart the computer, it is back in the dock!
I have also some issues with the file sharing between my Macs. Usually, I entered the username and password of the Mac and it was possible to access everything from another Mac. But now it doesn't work! I think that I must create a new user account for file sharing...
What should I do??
Thanks!!!

I have the same issues with items "re-appearing" in the dock after reboot or waking from sleep. I went into recovery mode, wiped my hard drive, and cleanly reinstalled lion to no avail. I had other issues that cleared up, but my dock is full of apps I never use...so I can only conclude its a bug.
