Deleting evetns from ICal 3.0.7

Unfortunately, I selected one of the sites that automatically had uploaded all kinds of events, and I need to get rid of them from ICal.
I have selected the items and hit the Delete key but it tells me that I have read only access, how is this possible I am the only one using my Mac for over 1 year.
I checked under Preferences and it doesn't show any account. I have read somewhere to delete this Calendar and install a new one but that seems a bit tedious and dicey since I have other entries that I don't want to loose.
Any suggestions.

crossover,
I visited MeetUP and I have been subscribed to their weekly schedule, but only I have transferred the specific event of my choice...
Since I am not a subscriber, I do not see the weekly schedule. Looking at the Meetup.com web page, I see they have a Contact Meetup Support - Meetup.com. You may want to ask them directly.
...it shows Home, Work, Calendar all three are checked
Checking a calendar only hides/shows the events in that calendar. It appears to me that you only have two calendars "Home," and "Work." What is the Calendar selection? Is it located under the "CALENDARS" title? Is one of these calendars a "Group" Calendar?
If I try to add my account name, I get a message saying No Open Directory servers configured.
Configure one or more open directory servers using directory utility, or use an explicit Account URL. What the heck is this?
You can ignore that as a part of your problem, since that is a feature which can be used with a CalDAV server.

  • 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!

    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 calendar from ical

    How do I delte a calendar from iCal.
    I right click on it and the delete function is not an option.

    When that calendar you want to delete is selected, you should be able to do so from the Edit menu.
    Good luck

  • I can't delete calendars from iCal, they re-appear in a few moments. Also I can't add new entries. I have a backup on another  Mac which is working properly.

    For the last 2 weeks iCal has not let me update or delete calendars. It continues to remind me about events in the past (about 10 days ago).
    Also, Safari is not recording history, apart from today the last entry is 2 weeks ago.
    Time and date is working OK.
    All software is up-to-date.

    My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
    Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

  • IPhone is deleting appointments from iCal at random times.

    I have had my iPhone 4 recently replaced when I restored it the calendar deleted many appointments. Now the phone is randomly deleting appointments at all times. I use this feature to track much of my important information and am very frustrated.  This had gotten worse since the update last week. 

    I am being told through the genius bar that this has been caused by using a Yahoo calendar. Any thoughts?

  • 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).

  • How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use  time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

    How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use  time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

    So what is your question?
    If you forgot your encryption password:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
    The above comes from here:

  • How to delete all events from iCal?

    Is it possible to select and delete all events from iCal? Or is it simpler to delete the calendar itself? Thanks!

    Sorted now!
    To clarify for people like me: type "." in the search bar
    Then click on the first item in the results pane
    Go to the other end of the list, hold down shift, and click the LAST item
    They should all be highlighted now
    Then use Edit/Delete
    NB it may take a couple of mins (or ten!) for the items to disappear from your view, particularly if syncing with MobileMe.

  • ISync deleted a calendar from iCal

    I'm very new to the Mac world. My PC died at Thanksgiving and I'm still getting used to my new iMac. I am using iSync to sync between my new iMac and my very old Handspring Visor Prism. Things are going remarkably well except now that I have moved all my (11 years worth) calendar appts/events to the iMac, I'd like to stop storing and syncing them to the Visor, since I'm worried that it will fail if it gets too full.
    My bright idea was to create a separate calendar with all events from 97-08 and then use the "home" calendar from 2009 going forward. So on my next sync, I only checked "Home" to sync so that there would be less on my Visor. Doing this, iSync successfully synchronized the Home calendar (w/my newer events), but deleted my "old" calendar from iCal. I don't understand why that happened. I thought unselecting a calendar in iSync would do the same thing as the "Do Nothing" option in HotSync (literally, don't sync, but also, don't delete!).
    Is there any way to keep some events in an iCal calendar but not on your handheld device?
    Thanks,
    Tracy

    The deletion of your unchecked iCal calendar would or should have only occurred if you first deleted the the matching calendar on your Palm device prior to the next synchronization event, and did not opt to reset the framework as described below. The appropriate 'reaction' of the Sync Services framework on your machine is to delete matching calendar event and task information in your truth database, and distribution those deletion changes to all other synchronized applications, devices and servers.
    If you had simply unchecked the calendar in your drop-down iSync device configuration pane then reset the framework using the option in the iSync Preferences… dialog to do so and subsequently overwritten the contents of your Palm device—as opposed to merging data with it—your calendar would have remained in iCal but matching data would have been removed from the Palm device.
    Whenever you seek to make a substantial change such as you did, you should back up your iCal and Address Book records using the built-in options in each application to do so, BEFORE you next execute a synchronization event. In that way, it's easy to 'recover' data when an unexpected result occurs.

  • How do i delete the Tuesday 9 graphic from ical invites?

    How do you delete the "Tuesday 9" graphic from iCal invites?  Everytime I send an invite from iCal it gets tagged with this Tuesday 9 graphic, which is supremely annoying and very misleading for those you're sending the invite to.  Yes, I understand the signficance of Tuesday 9, but I'm trying to get past the childishness of that and actually have a functional iCal experience!
    Thanks...

    This is in the Videos app ? If it is then you can hide it (you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history) via your computer's iTunes, and it should' then show for redownloading : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    You can also turn off the showing of videos that are in the cloud via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos 'off'

  • 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?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    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?
    "Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

  • How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical

    How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical when I open Ical

    Look at some of the lunar events, and see what keywords they are using - eg moon or phase. Use one of those keywords in the search box. Find the earliast occurence in the list and delete it. This may take out all subsequent occurences, or you may have to delete them individually.

  • Events Syncing, Then Disappearing from iCal

    I first noticed a strange thing, in that an event I'd put in several days ago had disappeared from iCal but still appeared in MobileMe and on the iPad, even after running a manual sync.
    While thinking about that, I entered a new event on a different calendar but in that same weekly view. It was entered normally, all seemed fine. A few minutes later I once again was looking at the iPad, saw the new event had already appeared there and then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something on the iMac screen blink. When I looked, that event had now disappeared from iCal! Again, it still existed in MobileMe as it should have done.
    Two perhaps significant facts:
    The two which disappeared were the last two events I had entered, and
    all prior events seem to be still present everywhere as they should be.
    As for testing in real time while writing this, this is what has happened so far:
    Entered a test event into iCal, failed to sync to anywhere are all despite auto & manual tries. It has failed to show up elsewhere in all the following testing.
    Tried a second test event, on a different day, and it did sync normally.
    In addition, one of the two originally missing events now popped back into view on iCal, momentarily blinking off and then back on on iPad.
    Several subsequent test events all quickly synced through as they should, but the first test event has never appeared elsewhere and the second of the original events to disappear from ical remains missing.
    Beyond " .... ain't working right ...", I don't have a clue. Hopefully it's just a momentary hiccup, but I thought I'd pop this out in case anyone else was seeing anything similar.

    Hi Michael,
    Initially I suggest you quit iCal and delete the calendar cache.
    Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu.
    Open the Library folder. (If you are using OS X Lion, you will need to hold the Option key while clicking the Go menu in order to access the Library folder.)
    Open the Calendars folder.
    In the Finder, delete the Calendar Cache files, including any that also display a -1 (or -2, -3, and so forth) directly after their filename.
    Open iCal and wait for the calendars to be rebuilt.
    Let us know how this goes.
    Best wishes
    John M
