Getting rid of Birthdays Calendar

I want to get the Birthdays Calendar off of my iPhone, because it doesn't seem to be behaving properly. For one, it isn't showing up in the color that I chose for it in iCal. It shows up as a three different color, blue in iCal, green in MobileMe cloud and red on my iPhone. If I could control it, I might keep it.
I deactivated it in iCal, which also removed it on the cloud, but it is still present on my iPhone. Sure, I can uncheck it so that it doesn't show its contents, but why is it still there and how can I get it off the phone completely? This is one area of syncing that I have found difficult.

Thanks again,
Yeah, I've been to Apple's feedback page. I've often found it a bit discouraging seeing that they don't respond, and since most suggestions don't seem to get integrated too quickly, if at all. Obviously it doesn't hurt to send feedback via that means anyway, so I most likely will.
My biggest complaint with Apple's basic apps, such as Contacts and Calendar is that they don't even integrate all that well with their desktop versions - Address Book and iCal. I'm not asking for major improvements here, but can you (Apple) at least make your own apps work the same across your own different platforms (Mac, iPhone and MobileMe)? I don't know if anyone noticed, but Apple just allowed the function of actually changing the calendar of an event after the event was created. Before this latest version of the iPhone OS, you either had to stick with the calendar, or create the event from scratch in order to place it in the right calendar (if you didn't choose right from the beginning). It is stuff like this that seems hard to believe.

Getting rid of Google calendar

I am quite happy using iCal, and I usually have it send me an email reminder at whatever time I want to be notified. Some time ago I thought I would try Google calendar to see how it was. I set it up, and now every event I put on iCal ends up on Google calendar and I end up getting multiple emails and notifications. I would like to simply get rid of Google calendar and stop using it. I can't find a way to do this. Not only can I not get rid of it, but I can't stop it from sending me emails and notifications. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't remember exactly how it was set up in Mountain Lion. Things are different in Mavericks.
What I'm refering to is how you are syncing google calendar. You may have to do it in iCal preferences in Accounts. Deleting the google account from iCal should remove it from the iCal. To delete, highlight and click on "-" sign at bottom of window.
Just make sure you move your events to either a local calendar or iCloud calendar if you are using iCloud before deleting the google calendar.

Hw do I get rid of birthdays on iPad Calendar?

I don't know if this has anthing to do with my Google Gmai, Google+,Facebook, or syncing issues but my iPad calendar is suddenly showing the birthdays of everyone in my contacts 6 or more times on the date of their birthday. HELP!

Getting rid of birthday notifications on calendar...

There have been a bunch of discussions on this but nothing very recent and none of the solutions I've seen are working. I get these bloody birthday announcements almost every day from my calendar program on my Mac. First of all, I'd love to know how in the world they even got on my calendar in the first place. The only thing I can think of is that google is responsible - I synch with my Google Calendar.
Anyway, I have unticked birthday alerts AND what appears to be a calendar called "birthdays" and these darn things just keep on coming....
Anyone have a clue?

The software that allows this printer to function on Windows XP does not have an option to disable this feature. These are maintenance messages for the printer and the software has to show them.
I do not know of a workaround to this either. I hope this helps.

How do I get rid of duplicate calendar entries in my notifications?

I managed to get rid of all my duplicate calendar entries on my calendar. I unchecked all but the two calendars I use.
The problem is that when I go to my notifications screen, under "Calendar", it still shows all my entries like three times. How do I get rid of this? It takes up all the realestate on my notifications.

Sounds like your syncing Calendars over the air with iCloud, as well as with a supported Calendar application on your computer. Doing both will duplicate your entries, so do one or the other, not both.

How do I get rid of the calendars in the source list?

I don't want Iphoto automatically organizing my photos by year, and I don't want to see the last four years depicted as calendar icons in the source list, and I don't want an item called "early photos' in my source list. How do I get rid of these unwanted items/features?
Many of the photos I'm importing have, over the years, been edited and their original photo dates are no longer valid in GetInfo, so iphoto's automated feature causes chaos upon importing.

Hello autochthon,
The side bar which contains some of iPhoto's built in organizational tools like "Last Import" "Last 12 Months" "Early Photos" is part of the iPhoto program and cannot be removed.
The items you mention appear under the sub-category "Recent". You can click on the disclosure triangle to hide those features from view.
By default iPhoto arranges all images in a chronological fashion, however you can sort your photos in your events in a variety of other ways: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6291.html.
For those that don't like any of the sorting options available, putting images into Albums is often a good route to go. Once you put your pictures in an album you can then drag them into whatever order meets your needs within that Album.
Hope that helps.

Getting rid of duplicate calendars and contacts.

I made the mistake of syncing my iPhone while I also had MobileMe sync running. As a result I have calendar and contact duplicates of my Mac and of MobileMe account. I want to get rid of my Mac info and just use the MobileMe sync info. From here on out I will only use MobileMe to sync my iPhone. Does anyone know how to easily get rid of this other set of calendar and contact Mac info?

Probably the easiest way would be to delete the MobileMe account and then re-add it - you should then be prompted to either keep the data on the iPhone, or delete it.

I need to get rid of a calendar alert

I keep getting a calendar alert that I need to delete (it's a medication prompt that is now a week off from the proper schedule.) It says it is attached to the home calendar at my me.com account, but when I sign into the cloud to check, there is no event listed. The event is also not on my Mac. I have no idea where to find this calendar entry or how to get rid of this reminder. Help.

I am losing dates in my calendar. How do I get rid of other calendars I am not interested in. ie I have 7 calendars

I own the iPhone 4 and lately am experiencing problems with my calendar entries. I loose them. I also have 7 calendars and want to know if I can get rid of some.

Go to: Settings>General>Usage>and see what is eating up all of your memory. After you find what is eating up most of your memory just delete it thru:Settings>General>Usage. I would not think your calendars and messages would take up all of your memory.
Cheers,
Alec

Can't respond and get rid of a Calendar invitation

This is the second time recently I've had an issue with a Calendar invitation. However, this one is after I upgraded to iOS 8 (currently on 8.1).
Right now, I have a notification badge on my Calendar icon and in my invite box there's an invite from my wife for an event. She sent her invitation from her iPhone using her Home iCal calendar. On my iPhone, I can see the event in my personal iCal calendar and I also subscribe to her calendar so I see it listed twice. However, the invitation won't go away.
Furthermore, the invitation looks corrupt. The From: is listed as "somebody" and my only action I can select is "OK". However even when I select OK it does nothing. I can click on the invitation and the invitation details are accurate. It also does show that it's from my wife's Home iCal calendar.
I did uncheck that calendar as one I subscribe to, but the invitation still remains.
I do not have this issue on my iPad Air, MacBook Air, or in iCloud. I'm running iOS 8.1 on both my iPhone 6+ and iPad Air and running Yosemite on my MacBook Air.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this invitation or get Calendar to let me OK it and have it go away??
Thanks!

How do you get rid of extra calendars??

I've upgraded to 2.0, now I have several calendars on there that I don't need. They only seem to appear on the iPhone. Only two are valid calendars. How do I get rid of the rest?

I would try adding them back, then syncing the phone, then removing them from the computer, then syncing again.

Getting rid of MULTIPLE calendars

I just discovered that I have 3 calendars - one for my business Outlook email address. (which I want), and one called <my name>@vzw.blackberry.net (which I don't want) and another called "Desktop". I ONLY want the ONE that synchs with my business Outlook email address. How do I get rid of these other two?? I just learned today that an entry I made on my BB did not synch with my laptop Outlook becasue it was in the "desktop" calendar.
I would also LOVE to get rid of the <my name>@vzw.blackberry.net EM address becuase I get two of every email. I have Verizon service and I don't know if that EM address is required. Can someone PLEASE help?? I not have 3 calendars all with separate appointments on them. I wnat ONE consolidated calendar on my BB and on my laptop (business Outlook). thanks!

Go to your Calendar, then go to its Menu button > Options, then type MOVE. (You won't see this typed on the screen.) This will invoke a popup, asking if you'd like to move/merge your calendars into the device default (1 calendar). After you've OK'ed this, do a battery pull while your BB is turned on, and this will get you set up.
You will have this issue again in the future unless you remove all of the other calendars [CICAL] listed in your Service Books. For more info on merging calendars and such, here's a good link to get you started:

TS1906 How do you get rid of birthday duplicates?

After setting up iCal and adding birthdays and other events in my contacts. I now have duplicates of everyones birthdays showing.
I have tried several things but can not delete the duplicates.

You actually have hidden duplicates in your Address Book that you are unaware of; I had the EXACT same problem. I downloaded a program called Bento (http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/mac.html) and it allowed me to edit my Contact cards. iCal duplicated every single contact I had (and thus doubled the birthdays in my calendar). This allowed me to delete one of the two files (although only one appeared in the Contact app) and my birthdays went back to normal!

How to get rid of many calendars?

I need just one calendar, same wit all my gadgets, mac, iPhone etc. Every now and then events get deleted. It is terrible. It on my mac, but not elsewhere, then I forget...
How to throw away all the other stupid calendars and leave only one? (I am only one myself after all.)

Where are you seeing these duplicates? If iPhoto's window or in the Finder?
If it's in iPhoto's window you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when one library has been imported into another with iPhoto 8 and earlier.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.

How can I get rid of yahoo calendar on my iPhone 5c? Each time I make an entry, I have to turn off yahoo and turn on iCloud.

Each time I add an event on my iPhone 5c calendar, I have to click off Yahoo calendar and click on iCloud or the event will not register. Should I permanently delete the Yahoo calendar under settings or is there a way to default to the iCloud calendar? Thank you.

Thank you Mac.Dee and lizdance40. I am a techo-tot and am just learning my way around the system. I made both of these changes and my calendar works just the way I want it to.
