Deleting "On My Mac" calendars

I asked this a month ago but got no answers so I thought I'd give it another shot. When iCal upgraded,, I was asked if I wante dto creat a separate set of Calendars for just On My Mac. Initially I thought, OK, why not? But in reality, I need my entries to sync across 4 computers and when i enter events on my iPhone (which is usually the case), they show up only on my "On My Mac" calendars, and not on my Mobile Me/Cloud Calendars. It's a hassle to remember what I entered and then change it when I get to my desktop. I just want one set of Calendars, which is the ones that are shared across the Cloud. I'm sure it's something easy, but I can't figure it out on my own. Thanks in advance!

From the MobileMe Support section on setting up iCal beta on MobileMe:
NOTE: If you were previously syncing with MobileMe Calendar, the calendars you were syncing are moved from On My Mac to your MobileMe calendars. If you see duplicated calendar events in iCal, deselect the On My Mac calendars in the iCal window to hide them.
So it looks like after setting up the iCAl Beta the On My Mac calendar is truly "On My Mac". Sp what I did was deselect all the events in On My Mac (the duplicates went away), hid the events under On My Mac and entered all new events in the @me.com calendar. Everything is syncing fine on my iMac, Macbook Pro and iPad and the duplicates are gone.

Deleted "On My Mac" calendars trying to share to iPad. Have a good copy still on iPhone4s. How do I get the phone calendars back on my Mac?

Accidently deleted "On My Mac" calendars trying to share to a new iPad. I still have a a full set of calendars on my iPhone4s. How do I get the phone calendars back onto my Mac?
Not knowing how to move theiPhone calendars I tried this.....
I have tried importing a .icbu file of each calendar exported just before the deletion. Every time I import a backup, it restores fine initially with all my old events, but as soon as it syncs with iCloud it empties all the events prior to my deletion of the "On My Mac" set of caledars.

I had walked away from the computer and found another mouse hanging out on my wife's computer, I was able to plug it in and got the blue tooth set back up. Thanks for your responding to this.

IPhone calendar items not syncing with Mac calendar

A few weeks ago I noticed that items added to my iPhone calendar stopped syncing with my Mac calendar. Items added or deleted from my Mac calendar, however, do sync properly to my iPhone.
iPhone 4S iOS 7.0.6. Mac OS 10.8.5 (whatever beast that is). I sync via iTunes and USB cable. I do not use iCloud and am not interested in doing so.
I looked through other discussion threads, and they did not seem to address my problem. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

The answer given by randers4 here solved my problem (turn out I have Mountain Lion):

Restore on my mac calendar

I am using a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1. I have accidentally deleted "on my mac" calendar from Ical with which Outlook for Mac syncs. That calendar with the work and personal categories is gone. It's not hidden, it's gone. How can I restore it?

Apple doesn't make it easy to create an "On My Mac" calendar if you synchronize your existing calendars with iCloud or another network service.
In the toolbar of the Calendar window, click the Calendars button on the left to show the calendar list in a sidebar, if it's not already showing. You should see a category with the heading Other, and beneath it you may see a calendar named Birthdays. If there's nothing under Other, hover the cursor over the heading and click Show. If there's still no Birthdayscalendar, select from the menu bar
Calendar ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Show Birthdays calendar
Close the preferences dialog.
Select the Birthdays calendar in the sidebar. Now right-click or control-click in the empty gray area below the calendar list. From the popup menu, select New Calendar. A calendar named Untitled will be created in the On My Mac category. You can rename it and import events into it, or you can create other "On My Mac" calendars.

How do I delete the on my Mac calendar as it is competing with the iCloud calendar and giving me an error message

I am getting an error ménage in my iCloud calendar that says I can't add an event it must revert to the server . How can I delete the on my Mac calendar because I think it is competing with the iCloud calendar ?

Do you have the Yahoo toolbar? Other users have reported a similar JavaScript error when loading sites with that toolbar installed. If you have it, you could disable it or perhaps there is an updated version available.
If you don't have that toolbar, it could be one of your other add-ons. Check out cor-el's answer in this thread: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/795003 When starting Firefox 4 I am presented with a JavaScript Application message "TypeError ksClass is undefined" | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

Why is Mac Calendar non-functional in Yosemite?

I installed Yosemite onto my 27" iMac (2009, intel chips, 1gb hard drive, 4 gb RAM) and all **** broke loose. Nothing worked for four days, all anything would do is to freeze up for five minutes to an hour at a time or until I used force quit to get out of there: Calendar, iPhoto, Preview, all native and third party programs. After almost a week of not being able to work, I did a re-install, which is a time consuming process. Since then, most things are working, third party software seems to work, albeit slowly and periodically spinning for minutes on end before settling down. iPhoto seems to be working again, likewise Preview, (I haven't worked my way through everything, I admit. I realize that RAM might be part of the problem (thanks for not telling us that you need 8GB to run the **** OSX) but even with no other programs running, here is what happens with Calendar: It launches. It opens every calendar, several in duplicated form (BIrthdays and US Holidays), it freezes. It acts like it's unfrozen. I click on a calendar that I don't want to view. It freezes. After a while it stops spinning and unchecks. The calendar is still visible. Repeat this for a half dozen background calendars, each time it freezes and after a few minutes it unchecks the box, but the calendar is still visible. I click on an event, it freezes for a while, then everytime I move the cursor onto the calendar it starts spinning again. After numerous attempts, I open the info box for a calendar item, it freezes, five or ten minutes later I look at it again and it seems to be okay, then when I move the cursor over the calendar, it closes the event window ande starts spinning again. I notice that all the duplicates are there and all the calendars I closed that never really closed are now checked as being visible again. After many, many attempts and freezes, at some point a few hours into the process, it lets me type a calendar item and save it (taking maybe 20 minutes through the freezing process). I quit and restart over and again, hoping that will solve the issue. Then after two days of this, I open up the calendar, all the calendars are checked again and my recent postings are missing, edits have been undone, everything is freezing and spinning, duplicates still show, etc., etc. Then I go to icloud and make some changes there. The next time Calendar locks up, I force it to quit, reopen, everything is back to being checked, duplicated, etc., but the item I posted is now on the iMac calendar, so it did sync, but again I can't work on anything because it just goes into spin mode. Almost a week into this (I did the install last Friday, today is Wednesday and I worked on it part of the weekend) I would like to stop using mac Calendar, but what calendar should I use and how do I synchronize it all and I am heavily invested in this program since it has been my main way of tracking my schedule for many years now and my business relies on it. There is no option to reinstall calendar. There are no threads discussing this problem. I have lost almost a week of income because I've spent all my office time every day since the initial install trying to get my computer functional. I am warning everyone I know to NOT upgrade to Yosemite as it is a piece of crap. Can anyone help me figure this out before I start a Facebook page "Mac Calendar is a piece of ****?" I like the program quite a bit all the way through Mavericks but now it only works via iCloud and may or may not be deleting my schedule as I go along. Any ideas? Should I just buy a different calendar program (I need to have this on my computer I can't rely on online programs due to privacy issues.) The desktop version is a clutter of duplicates and calendars that it says are hidden, and I go back to iCloud, which won't let me copy and paste or anything and I don't like that interface but at least it (seems to) syncs with my mac but not always with my iphone, Thanks. I am really hating this experience.

Back up all data. If you have iCloud calendars, archive them by following the instructions on this page under the heading "Downloading a calendar from iCloud.com." All you need is a web browser, not the Calendar application. Do the same with any other network calendars you have, if possible.
Before taking each of these steps, quit (force quit if necessary) the application. After taking the step, relaunch and test. When the problem is resolved (or when you complete Step 3 without resolving it), stop and close the Library folder.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move these items (some may not exist) to the Trash, leaving the Library folder open:
          Calendars/Calendar Cache
          Calendars/Calendar Cache-shm
          Calendars/Calendar Cache-wal
Step 2
Move these files from the Library folder to the Desktop (again, some may not exist):
          Containers/com.apple.CalendarAgent (and any others with a name beginning in "com.apple.Calendar")
          Containers/com.apple.iCal (and any others with a name beginning in "com.apple.iCal")
          Preferences/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
If the problem is resolved, you may be able to put back some of the items you moved in this step, relaunching and testing after each one. Eventually you may find the one that caused the problem; delete it. Recreate your settings as necessary.
If the problem still isn't solved, put back each of the items you moved in this step, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. You don't have to put back the files you moved in Step 1.
Step 3
Move this folder to the Desktop:
          Calendars
Note: you're not moving the Calendars application; you're moving a folder named "Calendars". If there's no change, put the folder back where it was.
If the problem is resolved after you move the Calendars folder, the event database is corrupt. You have these choices:
          Restore the folder from a Time Machine snapshot or other backup that predates the corruption.
          Use a third-party application such as Calendar Cleaner to try to repair the database.
For network calendar accounts, such as iCloud, all you should need to do is re-enter them in the preferences. For subscribed calendars, you only need to re-subscribe.

How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
Thanks.

Thank you for your response.
However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
Thank you.

.Mac calendars fail to sync on my dual G5

I have iCal at home too, and it syncs just fine. Hence I know .Mac has my calendar data. However, at work iCal at launch shows my calendars for a couple seconds and then they all disappear! When I try to re-sync this G5 with .Mac, I get the following alert message:
"An inconsistency detected on .Mac for your Calendars data prevented sync from completing! You should consider resetting .Mac from a computer with good data."
Please advise me as to how to eliminate this problem on my G5 work machine. I don't care if I have to delete all my local calendar data, I will simply re-sync and hopefully get them all back from .Mac. Currently, I cannot access any of my calendars at work. Obviously, extremely frustrating!!!

All,
I finally got my work G5 to sync up to .mac after I forcefully reset all my .mac data from my home PowerBook using its good local data. Then I was able to get back to my G5 the next day and let it re-sync to the "fresh" data now on .mac. It also happens that I had just done (a day or two before) a fresh system install of Tiger and then the 10.4.2 update on the PowerBook, so something in that process may have helped fix the original problem (whatever it was!). The G5 was also running 10.4.2, but I did not reinstall its system software.
Tracy, I wish you the best in syncing your data. If not running the latest Tiger, you may want to install that first. Good luck!

MAC Calendar unable to complete moving calendar to server account icloud

since upgrade to OSC 10.9.1 unable to Iphone5 sycn, or get my MAC calendar to open.

I discussed your solution with a senior Apple Tech Support Rep several weeks ago. It didn't work for me. Many others have also reported that it has not worked them. The Tech Support Rep's opinion was that it was merely coincidence for those who thought it solved the problem.
Apple is aware of the problem. The Tech Support Rep that I have been working with said that the problem may be fixed with iTunes 11 but I think he was just guessing or hoping. He has experienced the problem himself. He said that he deleted everything and uploaded songs in very small batches. That wasn't going to help me because I already had close to 9,000 songs uploaded. My problem is that it hangs on the first step of synchronizing.
As of now, I have given up on iTunes Match. I'll try it with iTunes 11 but I am not optimistic.

ICloud calendar not syncing with Mac calendar

I deleted the default "all calendars" calendar from my iCloud calendar in a browser because it was the only way to solve a bizarre issue where I had 2 sets of every event from an extra calendar that I had subscribed to and then unsubscribed from in Google Calendars. After I fixed my Google calendar (deleted, re-imported) and re-subscribed to the Google calendar from my Mac calendar everything looks back to normal in my Mac calendar and on all my devices. HOWEVER...I can't get anything from the Mac calendar (which is getting its data from my Google calendar) to come back and repopulate the iCloud calendar viewed from a browser.
If I enter a new event in either the iCloud or the Mac calendars it appears in the other calendar within a minute, but all of the events that populated the Mac calendar when I imported my old google calendar to repopulate it have never migrated (unless I manually go to each event and change it from a gmail calendar event to an iCloud event in the Mac calendar).
Help! Any ideas??

iCloud will not sync your Google calendar. To get it into iCloud, you have to export it as an .ics file, then import that to an iCloud calendar on your Mac. See http://www.groovypost.com/howto/osx-lion-import-google-calendars-icloud/.

FYI: your "on my mac" calendars may be automatically transferred to iCloud

I just would like to relate to the community that iCloud automatically (without notifying me) took the calendars that were "on my mac" in iCal and automatically uploaded them all to iCloud. I had been an upgrader from MobileMe, and the MobileMe calendars were initially the only calendars that were transferred to iCloud. But somehow, additional "on my mac" calendars were also automatically uploaded to iCloud (and removed from the "on my mac" section) without my knowledge over the past couple of days. Just thought I should let folks know my experience, as some folks may have private calendar items that they do not feel comfortable putting in the cloud.

Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Calendars for the cache. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the cache from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
