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.

Why do my events change in the day view, when I create a new event? (iCal for iPad 2)

Every time I create a new event in the day view in iCal on iPad, the other events (which I created before for the same day) change their starting and/or their ending time.
Please help!

monkeyde,
You are getting entagled in the two confusing meanings of the term pixels, namely as a unit identical to points and equalling 1/72 inch, and the basic component of raster images (and effects).
You can read on in this very recent thread:
Is there a way to get Illustrator to know how many pixels are in an inch?

New events in iCal are entered on my iMac. These events pass through correctly to my other computers and iPhone. However, each new event shows up twice on my iPads. The clutter is distracting. Anyone have suggestion as to correcting this annoyance?

Why I can't delete an item in iCal on iPad 2?

Why I can't delete an item in iCal on iPad 2? The user manual says: click on the item, choose 'Edit' or something like that and then 'Delete'.
But clicking on the item only shows the details and not any window for Editing the item.
I wanted to delete an item in a calendar that is synchronized via Google.
Thanks for help!

If you are In the "Day"view in the calendar app, tap on the event and a window opens up with a red "Delete Event" button at the bottom of the window. Tap that button and then another "Delete Event" button pops up. Tap that to delete.
In the week view, tap the event and then a window pops up with "Edit" in it - it is in the upper right corner of that window - tap edit, and then repeat the process described above.
I do not use the Google calendar and maybe the way you have that set up will not allow you to do this directly on the Calendar app on the iPad.

How do I delete an event on ical when there's no edit option, it reads details?

I'm trying to delete an event in iCal on my iPad but where it usually reads edit it reads details and in details theirs no delete option. How can I delete this event?

Is it an event that you added?

Why do new events in iCal automatically have reminders?

When I create a new event in iCal (whether on my MacBook, or on my iPad, or on my iPhone), iCal automatically adds 2 reminders. I have checked my iCal preferences, and "Add a default alert to all new timed events" is unchecked. It's an annoying little quirk.
This happened prior to upgrading to the new IOSes, and I was hoping it would disappear with the updates. However, it's not.
Can anyone please help me to fix this?

I found the answer from another forum. Changed the settings in Google Calendar. Bizarre.

Unable to add new event in iCal, Lion 10.7.1

Hi,
On Lion 10.7.1, I can't seem to add new events to iCal.
I have tried the following:
1. 2-finger click on a day in the month-view. This pops out the menu and I can click on 'New Event', but after that, nothing happens.
2. Clicking on the '+' button at the top. This pops out the 'Create Quick Event' window. After typing in a new event and hitting return, nothing happens.
I can create a new event in the 'Day' and 'Week' view though.
iCal was working fine for me last week, but it seems to be broken since yesterday. I'm not sure if it stopped working after the 10.7.1 update.
Thanks for any guidance or assistance!

Solved! Needed to check "Show All Day Events" in the View menu!

Hello b.krushel,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
Any number of things could cause this issue, so I would recommend this article named iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
These sections in particular:
General Troubleshooting
Make sure there are no current issues listed on the System Status that affect iCloud Calendar. The System Status is located on the iCloud Support webpage.
Make sure you have fully enabled iCloud Calendar for the client you are using (for more setup and troubleshooting information on iOS, OS X, Windows and iCloud.com, see the additional details below).
Check to see if the issue you are seeing is covered in iCloud Help. To search iCloud Help, visit help.apple.com/icloud.
Check your settings and preferences as something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues which are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
Open Calendar (or iCal).
Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Take care,
Sterling

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.

When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
You can set your default calendar here:
iCal > Preferences > General > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

Creating new event in iCal from BBEdit data window. Calendar number fails.

When I try to create a new event in iCal I am getting the error "The variable theCalendarNumber is not defined." even though theCalendarNumber is supposed to be set in the preceding line. Does this have anything to do with embedding the tell application "iCal" within the tell application "BBEdit 6.5" loop?
Before this error I was getting a NSContainerSpecifierError error. I think that was because I was trying to specify the calendar as a string instead of a number as required by Panther OS.

You have a couple of issues here.
First, the line:
set theCalendarNumber to (first calendar whose title is theChoice)
However, theChoice is defined at:
set theChoice to (choose from list iCalendars with prompt "Choose the Calendar to use" OK button name "Choose" without multiple selections allowed and empty selection allowed)
Since you're allowing multiple selections, theChoice will be a list.
You can't get 'first calendar whose title is' a list. You will need to either permit single selections only, or extract the calendar name from the selected items (maybe iterating through them if you want to add the event to multiple calendars).
Once you address that, the line:
set theEvent to make new event at end of events of theCalendarNumber...
also won't work because theCalendarNumber will be the name of a calendar, so this command tries to set the event to the end of events of a string. Instead you need to ask for the named calendar, like:
set theEvent to make new event at end of events of calendar theCalendarNumber
Then you should be set.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Unable to create new events in iCal

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, and now when I try to create a new event in iCal, nothing happens. I am able to tap the "+" and enter the event information, but when I tap "Done", no new event appears in the calendar.
If I, instead, create the event in the Calendar on my PC, the phone syncs with Outlook, and the event appears on the phone's iCal app.
Why am I suddenly unable to create new events on my phone in iOS7, and how can I fix this issue?

Thanks! I've noticed the phone has been a bit "clunky" since the update too. Did you experience the same thing & did the hard restart help?

How can i delete an event on ical without notifying

Hello
how can i delete an event on ical without notifying. All I want to do is delete the event and not notify anyone.
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.

My calendar keeps deleting new events and if I make a change to an old event it keeps reverting it back to its original time. How do it stop this from happening?

How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password
