Deleting "on my phone" calendars

I sync my calendars via my MobileMe account. I used to sync from iCal via iTunes. There are several calendars on my phone listed as "on my phone" that I no longer need. I have gone to MobileMe and deleted the calendars, and I've gone to my iCal and deleted the unwanted calendars, but these old calendars still appear in the "on my iPhone" portion of the calendar feature. All I need to see are the MobileMe calendars. I have also gone into iTunes and deselected all the info boxes, as I do not want to sync directly from the Mac.
How do I get rid of the "on my iPhone" calendars in the phone?

I dont know if this helps you, but I found out how to get rid of one of the calendars.
You can't directly "get rid" of the calendar called "Calendar" that comes with the iPhone by default (though it says it's "From My Mac", it will appear even if you have no such calendar on your Mac), but you CAN get rid of it in a way, by tricking it.
SITUATION: You have an annoying, useless, empty default calendar on your iPhone called "Calendar" that you cannot rename or delete. You don't want extra calendars you don't use, because you like to keep things simple and streamlined between your iPhone and Mac.
STEPS (back up your calendars just in case. This worked for me, but crap happens!):
1. Rename your calendar on your Mac to "Calendar" (make a backup first! I have not tried this with CalDav Calendars, but it works with a regular one that's just on your Mac).
2. Sync with your iPhone.
3. The "Calendar" calendar on your iPhone should now contain all the events from the "Calendar" calendar on your Mac (iPhone seems to be smart that way and match them up instead of making a duplicate).
4. On your Mac, rename "Calendar" to whatever name you want (e.g. whatever you had it named as before).
5. Sync with your iPhone again.
6. The original "Calendar" calendar on the iPhone should be gone, leaving your iPhone with your custom named calendar, and no random empty default iPhone calendar called Calendar. You should be able to add events on your iPhone that sync to your Mac when you sync your iPhone and vice versa (I was able to). In reality, the calendar isn't deleted, just tricked into having a different name.
I hope that helps and is not too confusing!

  • 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.

    Hello Amanda,
    Your iTunes application or your iTunes library content?
    If just the application was removed, you can redownload it from here.

    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • I tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help

    i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • Can not delete an event on calendar...every time i try and delete it, it makes another event

    I have been trying to delete an event on my calendar for about a week now. I had it set to go off at 1pm everyday forever. I set the event to end somewhere in 2015 and I have been trying to delete it because I did not need it anymore. But now  every time I try and delete it, the event is created again. So now i have the same event about 5 or more times on each day since I have tried to delete it. I have tried many different ways to delete it. And at one point i deleted everything on my calendar but that event will not go away. It is also taking up a lot of storage on my phone. Whenever I try and delete it the screens stays on that page for about 5 to 10 minutes like it is trying to delete.   I need some help please.
    Thank you.

  • How to delete an old Me calendar which appears on iPhone andiPad but not on iClaoud or Mac Computer

    I have a calendar which is clearly from the old pre icloud me account. I cannot edit or delete anything in it.I really would like to delete the whole old calendar. It does not appear in my iMac now in icloud. Is anyone able to help? Killaloe

    Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do unless you get hold of her phone and are able to delete the app yourself.
    She will however be unable to update the app or re-download it in the future.

  • HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

    Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

  • List view in I phone calendar

    Since my last update, I've been unable to access the "list" view in the I phone calendar. I can access event list by day, and can search for specific events, but can no longer scroll through a full list of all events in my calendar. Does anyone know how to access this feature? It doesn't work to tap the search icon as described in some Apple support text..

    7.1.1 separated the list view from the search view as a separate icon. Apparently tapping "search" to see the list was too confusing. Now having to tap a separate icon is confusing. Oh, well...

  • Deleted contacts from my phone & they auto deleted from other phone. How do I get them back?

    Just updated my iPhone 4 and my GF's iPhone 4 to the new OS, we share the same Apple ID and subsequently linked both phones to the same iCloud account (I will be using separate clouds from this point forward). However, after the update all of her contacts where in my phone so I deleted all of them and due to the cloud they all deleted from her phone.
    So, I have previously backed up (not just synched) her phone to iTunes but I was hoping for clarification on exactly to restore her phone from iTunes and recover all of her contacts. Can you please give me the “dummy” proof steps on how to restore her phone and get her contacts back? Please and thank you in advance.
