Edit Google Cal event in iCal without changing the original?

I'd like to be able to edit an event or delete it on my iCal without touching the original copy. Is this possible?

Greetings,
If the event is in a Google calendar then changes you make go automatically to the Google server as they "belong" to the server, not to your computer.
You can copy that event into a local calendar and then edit it and it will have no effect on the original Google calendar.
_Go to File > New Calendar > On my Mac.
_Click on the event in question to highlight
_Go to Edit > Copy
_Click on the new calendar you created and then go to File > Paste.
You could also copy the entire Google calendar into a local calendar.
_Click on the Google calendar on the left side of iCal and go to File > Export > Export and save to the Desktop.
_Locate the file on the desktop and double-click on it.
_Add to a new calendar.
__You will now have a local copy of the entire Google calendar (as of this point in time) on your mac which you can edit independent of the Google calendar online.
Hope that helps.

  • Can't edit Google Calendar events in iCal

    I am using Google Calendar's new CalDAV sync system and their "Calaboration" tool to sync my iCal (version 3.0.5, and I'm using Mac OS 10.5.2) with my Google Calendars, per the instructions on this page:
    http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#ical
    It seems to work ok in that I can now see my google calendar events in iCal. I can also add an event to that calendar in iCal, and it will sync to my google calendar. However, I can't seem to edit an event in iCal that was created on the Google Calendar web page. That is, all my events that I created in Google Calendar do indeed appear in iCal, but I can't edit them in iCal. I can edit events that I create for that calendar in iCal, but not ones I created in google calendar. Not a huge deal, but I was wondering if this is how it is supposed to work, because it seems a tad inconvenient.
    (I do have my e-mail address in my address book "me" card, so that's not the problem.)

    Yeah, I tried deleting the calendars in iCal and re-synching to them via Calaboration, but the same problem persisted.
    I did find the solution after a bit of experimenting, though. To solve it, I basically created a new calendar on Google Calendar, imported all my events from my old google calendar into it, then used Calaboration to sync iCal to the new Google calendar, and now I can edit events in iCal and GCal without problems. I don't actually know what the problem WAS, but this seems to have solved it. Maybe I made my original Google Calendar too long ago and it had some old bad settings I couldn't see? I dunno, but it doesn't matter now.
    For those who might have this same problem, here's how I transferred my old Google Calendar events into a new Google Calendar without losing anything: (You actually don't need to delete your old Google Calendar at all if you don't want to, so there's no reason to worry about losing your events.)
    1. In GCal, click the "settings" link at the top right of the web page. Then select the "Calendars" tab. Click the "Export My Calendars" link, which should be under your list of calendars, next to the cancel button. This will download a .zip file to your computer, containing all of your google calendars as individual .ics files. Go ahead and unzip them so that the .ics file for the calendar you want to duplicate is sitting in a folder somewhere on your computer.
    2. Now In GCal, click on the "Create" link on the lower righthand side of the "My Calendars" box, which is on the lefthand side of the screen.
    3. Create a new blank calendar and name it whatever you want. This is the blank calendar into which you will import your old calendar's events.
    4. Now, in GCal, click "Add" at the bottom right of the "Other Calendars" box, which is under the "My Calendars" box on the left side of the web page.
    5. Select "Import Calendar".
    6. Click "Choose File" and browse to the .ics file you want to duplicate on your computer.
    7. In the "Choose Calendar" pull-down menu, select the new, blank calendar you made in step 3.
    8. Click Import. This may take a few minutes, depending on the number of events you have in your .ics calendar file.
    9. Once it's done, look at the calendar to make sure your events all came into your new Google Calendar ok. It should look exactly like the original google calendar, but it will be a different color.
    10. NOW, use Calaboration to sync your iCal to the New Calendar you just made in Google Calendar.
    11. Once it's done synching, you should be able to edit events in the calendar in iCal.

  • How can I edit image duplicates without changing the original?

    I have an imac 2.8ghz intel core duo, running iphoto '11.
    Id like to edit a large number of images whilst keeping a seperate album of originals.
    I've tried duplicating an album of images and then editing but the program edits all copies of the image in both albums.
    Ive tried relabeling the images before editing but that doesnt work either,
    any ideas?

    1 - iPhoto NEVER modifies the original and at any time you can revert to it or see it in edit mode
    2 - albums do not duplicat photos but are simply pointers to photos so they take no space so a change to the photo from any location changes it is all
    3 - if you want two copies then duplicate the photo - generally it is uncessary

  • How do I stretch or compress an audio clip without changing the original?

    When I drag an audio clip, like footsteps, from the browser library into the timeline or sound editor, and then time stretch it or compress the speed, all instances of that clip seem to change with it. How can I make different speeds of the same clip in various instances in the timeline? And do it so that the original clip from the browser is still at the original speed when I drag it in again?

    For each instance go to *Clip>Replace With Independent Audio File Project*

  • How to name individual clips without changing the name of the original file...?

    Hi,
    Theres likely to be a really simple solution to this, but i can't find it! I've done my in & out points, i've created a new clip and i'd like to give it a unique name. When i rename the clip the original file name also changes. How can i rename the new clip without changing the original file name?
    Please help,
    Thanks
    Ed

    Either make the clip a subclip or convert it to a new master clip. Both can be done in the Modify menu.

  • How do I edit pictures on an iPhone5 without loosing the original?

    1. My original picture is GONE! I had one picture of six of my aunts all together.  I wanted to crop each of their faces out of the original picture and save each as a separate file to  associate with their contact information.  This was "as easy as pie" on my android phone, but with the iphone, once I clicked on "edit", cropped out the first subject and saved it, The original picture was gone -- or at least somewhere that I don't know where it went to!!!  On my previous phone (android htc rezound) each edit of any picture was saved without erasing the original picture. HELP!
    2.  When choosing a picture to go with a contact, sometimes I can't get the part of the picture I want in the circle.  I can get it big enough, but when I let go it sometimes goes back to a size that is too small!    Can someone help me tell me how to do this, or help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The ony exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Working on keyframes in a copied sequence changes the original sequence as well (Premiere Pro CS5.5)

    Hi everyone,
    maybe this is a very basic question, but the search in the forum didn't bring up any related questions, so here i go:
    Let's say, i copy a sequence in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and paste it in the same project. I have some textclips with keyframes in them. (I do this, because the videos stay the same, i just write different things into them. When i change the keyframes in the copied sequence the way i need them there and then go back to the original sequence, the keyframes there were changed as well. This is not what i wanted.
    My question therefore is: How can i make a copy of one sequence and then work on it without changing the original one at the same time? Why are they linked anyway? Is that just a selection in my version of Premiere Pro or is that a general thing?
    Would be great, if someone could explain that to me.
    thanks!

    If you have not done the New Title Based on Current Title, what you have are Instances of that Title, and they are all linked to the original Title. Make a change, and it is global to all Instances. This is very useful, if for instance, you have a typo. Say that you have used the old Western moivie cliche Title "Meanwhile Bock at the Ranch," a dozen times, only to discover the typo. You only have to correct "Bock" to "Back" one time, and it corrects all Instances of that Title.
    With New Title Based on Current Title, you have separate, individual, and un-linked Titles, so any change will ONLY affect the Instances of THAT Title.
    While the Instances can be very useful, one can be easily confused, when a change to one Instance affects all others.
    Good luck,

  • How to change color of iCal event, without changing the calendar.

    I have my work Exchange calendar imported to iCal.  When I want to change the color of an event in iCal, it actually changes the event to a differnet 'calendar' and therefore no longer shows up on my work calendar.  This wouldn't be a problem, excpet my secretary can no longer see the event on my work calendar that shows up on her PC.  So how can I change the color of 1 event, say to 'Important' or 'Must Attend', without changing the calendar?

    Welcome to the discussions, spet.
    Right click (Control-click) the calendar you want to change in the left pane and select Get Info. There is a colour selection button to the right of the calendar name..

  • 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.

  • How do I move google calendar events to iCal?

    how do I move google calendar events to iCal?

    ab1268,
    I'm trying to do this very thing.  I have multiple google calendars set up (one for each kid, my husband etc.).  I want to move to iCal exclusively.  Based on your note above, should I export each individual calendar within ical.  Remove each from the iCal account and then reimport then into ical?  I suppose the risk is low b/c the data still exists in google.
    Please advise - I would hate to misstep.  Very new to the apple world (aside from iphone / ipad).
    Thanks!

  • Adding a preset to an already edited photo without changing the edit

    Can someone please help me with adding a preset to already edited photos without changing the edit.  Basically I will edit an entire wedding and then I go back and pick out favorites for my bride and like to add the same artistic edit over them.  Since they are already all edited to my clean beautiful photo, (color balance, exsposure, editing for maybe none ideal lighting during ceremony) I would think there would be an easy way to add a preset without having it change all my adjustments I made so to speed up my process.  I know If I bring my photos to photoshop and bring them back into lightroom it pretty much resets it to basic, but I am sure there is an easier way to do this rather then having to open photoshop.  Thanks in advanced!

    Ensure that the "artistic edit" preset only includes the adjustments that are necessary. If, for instance, it
    should add a vignette effect, then make sure the preset doesn't include other adjustments like exposure, because that will make the preset override the carefully-chosen exposure in the clean beautiful version.

  • How can one edit a .gif file graphics background and change the fonts in Photoshop Elements 13?

    I am trying to change the color and fonts of some of my web sites .gif files. Can I change the color to another hexadecimal color and change the fonts of the letters in Photoshop 13? I am using Windows 7 and heard that you could save the .gif file to another format, edit it, then change the file back to a .gif file. Is this true? If so, how do you do it? The file just has a solid color with the letters "Firm " on it. No animation.

    You can edit a gif without changing the format, but once you save the file as a gif the text becomes part of the image, not text anymore, so you would need to clone or heal away the existing text and then create a new text layer and use save for web to create a new gif.
    For access to the most editing tools, while the file is open in the editor go to image>mode and change it from index color to RGB. Saving as a gif will change it back to index mode.

    COPING SCRIPT
    There are some Standard Sap Scripts in SAP. We cant directly execute them in scripts we have to use some T-codes and by giving some input to the required fields we can see the output printform.
    I will show one example. There are some Standard Sap Scripts such as MEDRUCK which is a standard Sap Script for Purchase Order and RVINVOICE01 for billing and so on...
    To see oupt of MEDRUCK go to T-code ME9F give purchase order number and execute select one number and click on dislplay messages button on application tool bar you can find the print form of MEDRUCK.
    You cannot change the Standard Sap Scripts but you can use Standard Sap Scripts and Copy them to userdefined Script and can make changes to them and replace standard Sap Script with usedefind script.
    Ex: Go to SE71,
    on menu bar u find Utilities->copy from Client. click on it u ll find new screen showing
    Form name:
    Source Clinet:
    Target Form:
    give Form name as usedefined form name EX: ZFORM1
    Source client as 000 and
    Target form as MEDRUCK.
    execute.
    Now, the standard from MEDRUCK is copyied to your form ZFORM1.
    NOW, go to SE71 and give form name as ZFORM1 and do some changes to the form such as adding logo any thing. save and Activate.
    Now, you have done changes to the Form ZFORM1 and u have to replace your form with standard SAP Script.
    Go to NACE Transaction.
    on Applications select EF for purchase order and click Output types button on application tool bar.
    now select NEU as output types dobule click on Processing Routines.
    now click on Change option on application tool bar and on right side u find MEDRUCK in form place replace MEDRUCK with ZFORM1 and SAVE.
    go back twice and now go to T-code ME9F give the purchase order number and execute and select one option and click on display messges button .
    you will find the changes that you have done in ZFORM1. so we cant chage the standard Sap Scripts by copying the Standard Sap Scripts we can chage and replace with our forms
