Detach iCloud from ICal?

For no reason other than it was a new feature, I linked iCloud to iCal even though I only have my MacBook Pro and no other computers/smart phones. There's no reason for me to have iCloud loaded. Now, it's causing all kinds of errors and I've lost my calendar and can'r restore from a Time Machine backup. When I restore, I see the calendar briefly, it updates, then the calendar disappears. iCloud is causing the problem. Is there a way to permanently detach iCloud from iCal? iCloud keeps showing up in my attempt to restore even though I've deleted it from the iCal account. I've got a good Time Machine backup from yesterday but I just can't restore it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If your calendars are only on the iCloud then you'll never see them if you stop using iCloud. You can export them to the Desktop and import them into On My Mac. Forget about the backup and restore, that's not needed.

  • TS3999 Received 2 appointments, same date, same content, just different hours. Since then I receive message from iCal: Access to "Subject" in account "iCloud" is not permitted. The server responded "403" to CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation. It's a bug!

    Received 2 appointments from a customer, same date, same content, just different hours. Since then I receive message from iCal: Access to “Subject” in account “iCloud” is not permitted. The server responded "403" to CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation. In my opinion this is a bug, because iCloud is not able to handle 2 appointments at the same date with same content, just at different hours. The different hours should be enough individuality for each event on calendar.

    Here are 4 identical events (other than time) in Calendar on my mac
    Here is how they appear at iCloud.com
    I concluded that iCloud has no problem with identical events seperated by time, so the question becomes what is wrong with your setup as opposed to what is wrong with iCloud.

    First of all, we are not Adobe.  This is a user to user forum.  We are consumers just like you. And I have arthritis, too, although not severe.
    Now let's see if we can help you resolve your problem.
    Where was it purchased from?
    Was it downloaded or was a disc purchased?
    What is your operating system?
    Is it version Photoshop Elements 13?
    Did you use a redemption code to get a serial number?
    Did you sign in/activate?
    Did you create an Adobe account?

  • Neither Merge nor Upload from iCal to iCloud works

    Recently Address Book on the Mac was beach-balling and on my card my email addresses were duplicated, and other problems.
    To troubleshoot, I backed up AB and iCal to the Mac, deleted all entries in both, went to iCloud, deleted all entries in both.
    Deselected the System Preference iCloud check boxes and logged out.
    In short, tried to cut ties and reset on the Mac and then up to Cloud.
    Then, since AB is more important, tried to import events into iCal from the archive and sync up. Even with nothing selected in iCloud Prefs, no Account in iCal prefs, logged out of iCloud in System Preferences, iCloud account deleted from iCal, when connected to the Internet and importing the archive, the events would briefly show up, "Updating..." appeared upper left in iCal, and the events disappeared. Only when disconnected from the Internet would the events remain in iCal.
    So then I tried importing while disconnected, quitting iCal, connecting to the net, and signing in to iCloud in System Prefs. The panel offered to "upload" my calendar events but instead wiped out everything in iCal on the Mac.
    Started over with deleting account in iCal prefs, disconnecting from net, reimporting the archive, and going to Mail Contacts and Calendars System Prefs and clicking Calendars, which offere to "merge" the calendars. Still ended up with events erased and zilch on the Mac.
    Having failed all that, I threw caution to the wind and reimported all my contacts to Address Book, connected to the net and logged in to iCloud in System Prefs and the AB contacts uploaded and synced fine! So I solved an original issue but created a new one, ack!
    I've spent hours on this with no iCal solution.
    I thought there was chat-help for MobileMe, but for iCloud the help files are all aimed at new users and the Apple site points all users to the site, with the next "Express Lane" call back available in about 18 hours. Ugh!
    Anyone else run in to this dilemma and found a solution yet? I'm regretting moving to iCloud already.

    Well it took about 2 hours on the phone with Apple and a supervisor, but had to go export each calendar to .ics files, reset syncservices via a Terminal command, then upload each .ics file. What a pain!
    Not only that, but if you want to sign out of iCloud now, it will delete your calendars from your Mac. No option to save a local copy like with Address Book.
    So if you want to sign out of iCloud, backup your iCal first by archives or .ics exports!

    Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
    Thank-you

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

    My wife recieved invite event from my PC Outlook. She accepted it, but it never showed up on her iCloud or iCal on our iMac. Then I removed her as an invitee and it did not remove the event from her iPhone. So now she has a event on her iPhone that is not on either her iCloud or iCal. How do I remove it from her iPhone?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

  • How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?

    I need to remove ALL the moon phases that appear in iCal 5.0.3. Every time iCloud updates it sends 6 to 10 moon events to my MacBook Pro. Going forward 3 0r 4 months, there are too many moon phases. How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?
    I am on a MacBook Pro 2.2 with 4 GB using Mountain Lion 10.7.5.

    Try:
    items.RemoveAll(s => string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));
    Or you can filter them out using where:
    var noEmptyStrings = items.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

  • Reminders on iCloud, and iCal on Mac

    I'm currently trying to get to grips with iCloud across all my devices, home Macbook (running Mountain Lion) work MacPro (running Lion) and iPhone (iOS6).
    My problem is with the duplication of events in iCal. I use Reminders as my to do list and I use the iCloud version as the interface is a lot more usable than the tiny Reminders on iCal. So I create a new Reminder on iCloud, it appears in iCal's Reminders pane, and I'll use this to populate my working week in iCal. Reminders on iCloud pushes to iCal Reminders on the MacPro then I can plan my working weekly schedule, and all this gets pushed to my phone. My only problem is when I drag Reminders from iCal's pane on to the calendar the events keep duplicating. Anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong. I use to work like this in Snow Leopard with no problems

    ical on your phone does not go away.  What ever events you put in your icloud.com account will sycn with your iphone and vise versa.it woks best when you add other Apple products that way all your calanderevents will stay in sync reguardless the devise you enter them on.  hope this answered your question.

  • How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011

    How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011 in outlook?  icloud is turned on, sync is turned on in outlook and in itunes.  Email working fine in outlook, but no contact or calendar information.  Microsoft said it is an Apple issue.  They said icloud is not compatible with Outlook.  I have OS Lion if you need to know that.

  • E-mail links from iCal event - not working in Yosemite

    My workflow has always depended on dragging e-mails from Mail to iCal
    This generates link in ical event "Show in mail" - giving me option to find the e-mail with one click from iCal
    Since Yosemite install the links go wrong!
    I can generate several events from several e-mails and all links point me to the same random e-mail. I haven't yet found clear pattern in this randomness, but it seems to link to the first mail-to-iCal created after sleep/restart, but not always...
    Anybody experiencing similar bug?
    Tried "mailbox" > "rebuid" with no result.
    Any more ideas?
    I'm on MB Pro 2009 using POP-accounts for mail but the random-link behavior is just same when dragging mails from my icloud account.

    Well it's good news i'm not alone in this - frustrating indeed!
    Searching for solutions with no result so far.
    I've been migrating my user library from one opsys to other since Leopard i guess, so probably i should just do a clean install one day - this MUST help
    My workaround after a week of being just unable to manage my incoming information was to use Notes
    Dragging emails to notes content still works, and in a way i kind of like it - u can keep a single note with several links to different emails etc. At least for now it seems like a decent substitute. Organizing notes to folders is helpful too, but i guess you can't organize folders in iOS which is really bad.
    So - still hoping to move back to my iCal

  • How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

    How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How do I PERMANENTLY Delete iCloud from my iMac???

    I've been at this for three hours now. iCloud WON'T go away. Please help. I want it 100% gone, FOREVER. I want my Contacts and iCal data stored on my Mac!
    I've read other discussions about this and no one's answers work. Every time I think iCloud is gone, as soon as I import my address book backup data, the data gets stored to iCloud again.
    HELP! Very, very, very frustrated.
    I am on Mavericks and I have local backups of my iCal and Address Book data via export/archive. I do not have any other devices, just my Mac desktop.
    Thank you.

    UPDATE:
    I did "sign out" ... about 50 times today. I followed all instructions in every help forum I could find on the subject before coming here. In the end, I had to contact Apple support.
    A repeated series of rebooting between signing out and deleting iCloud accounts from Address Book and iCal had to occur before the signout would stick. Even then, as soon as I imported from archive, the apps re-activated the iCloud account, every single time. Every. Single. Time. (Hence my frustration.)
    Lesson 1: For some reason, if you export archive Address Book while still on iCloud, importing will re-activate iCloud.
    Depends on how you archive, I'll assume that you made an ABBU (Address Book Archive) rather than a vCard file, doing so included the account as well as the content.
    Lesson 2: If you drag-and-drop your contacts onto the desktop and import them into Address Book once you are both signed out of iCloud and iCloud is also successfully deleted from AddressBook (the part that took multiple reboots,) THEN it will add the contacts back in as "On My Mac."
    Correct, exactly as exporting a vCard file from the export menu would have (drag and drop makes a vCard file)
    Lesson 3: If you export archive your iCal while still on iCloud, importing wil re-activate iCloud.
    Of course, if you are signed into iCloud it's the default account
    Lesson 4: If you highlight and export each individual calendar to your iMac, you can import later without iCloud reactivating. However ...
    However what?
    Lesson 5: If you have synced any Gmail accounts in iCal, this will interfere with the importing. Even if you say "new calendar" in the prompt, it will load it to the Gmail section and then give you an error. To solve this problem, one needs to de-activate the calendar portion of Gmail from System Preferences/Internet Accounts. Gmail must remain disconnected from iCal until all individual calendar imports are finished, then it can be reactivated.
    Gmail has nothing whatsoever to do with iCloud, it's a Google service and it follows Googles rules.
    PS. When someone says they have been at it for "hours", please assume that they had the intelligence to take the normal, necessary steps. If "signing out" had worked, there would have been no need to come into this forum, under great stress and duress, and ask for help.
    It seems that you did not take the normal steps (for a Google account), but I am glad you got there in the end.

  • Cannot Send Event Invites From iCal

    I cannot send invited from iCal.
    I am running Lion version 10.8.5.
    When I create a new event and try to invite others to the event their name is grayed out with a question mark next to it.
    My apple ID uses a gmail email address.
    I am using iCloud and syncing to Googlralso using Caldev and I have IOS devices, an  iPhone & iPad and an Android phone
    Any ideas anyone or is this a common problem ?

    Hello. Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm having the same one. My wife's iCal invitations are showing up in my iCal "Inbox" but are not coming to me via email. I discovered this while troubleshooting the issue just now...and saw that I had 10+ iCal invites for which I never received email notifications.
    I never proactively check iCal, so definitely need to resolve this issue, as receiving emailed invitations is the only way they're filed into my iCal. Thanks for any insight!
