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.

  • Privoxy: cannot get rid of google & facebook ads, or social buttons

    Hi all,
    I wanted to give privoxy a try. For starters, I'd like to do some adblocking, so I followed the wiki instructions for adblocking with privoxy. In particular, I used the privoxy-blocklist script the wiki mentions to download and use the following adblock lists:
    easylist
    easyprivacy
    fanboy-annoyance
    fanboy-social
    fanboy-antifacebook
    malwaredomains_full
    void-gr-filters (for ads in Greek sites)
    Also, again as per the wiki, I added
    {+block-as-image{Facebook "like" and similar tracking URLs.}}
    www.facebook.com/(extern|plugins)/(login_status|like(box)?|activity|fan)\.php
    platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button?
    plusone.google.com
    in my /etc/privoxy/user.action file.
    Although now I have adblocking working, I can't get rid of google ads, facebook ads, or social buttons (e.g. facebook like, etc).
    I googled around, and tried all sorts of things. For instance, the following guides did not work for me:
    http://www.willamowius.de/privoxy.html
    http://superuser.com/questions/668608/c … th-privoxy
    Any suggestions anybody?
    EDIT: I'm using privoxy 3.0.21-2 with firefox 30

    Are they textual ads, or pictures?
    Textual ads are harder to get rid of - this is where greasemonkey is useful.
    Thanks.. Though adblock plus would get rid of those. Also I wonder if installing privoxy and greasemonkey
    slows down my firefox.. All in all, for ad blocking, I'm thinking of going back to adblock plus.

  • How to get rid of google mail in "new calendar" menu?

    Hi there,
    it's not a big problem, but it drives me crazy: month ago I tried google calendar and synced iCal with this. Since then, in my menu for creating new calendars I have two options: local and google mail. Because I don't want to use google calendar anymore, I want to get rid of it in the menu. I tried several things in Preferences and Calendars, but without success. Could anyone help me?
    Thanks
    Klaus

    I got it by myself: one just have to delete the cache-files in the directory Calendars - that's it.

  • 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.

  • How do I get rid of Google Custom Search as my default search?

    Every time I start FF it has Google Custom Search in the location bar search box. I have delete it multiple times, but the next time I start FF, it is back in the box. I want Bing as my primary search engine. How do I get rid of the Google Custom Search???
    Also, how do I get rid of that CouponNetwork Coupon Activator? I have looked for it to delete the file, but can't find it. How do I get rid of it??
    Thanks

    That page didn't & has not worked. I have gone through & deleted all the search engines except Bing, probably 15-20 times. When I restart FF Google Custom Search is back in the list & is displayed in the seach box, even though Bing is listed first or the only one in the management section & supposed to be the default.
    On the Coupon Activator, that is what I thought also, but it is not listed on the Add/Remove program. I have even done a search on my drive for that filename, but it can't be found.
    Any other ideas for both problems???
    Thanks

  • How do I GET RID OF GOOGLE in the search in the middle of my screen?

    I am not talking about Google on the top right corner of my screen, I am talking about the middle of the monitor where it has Google tied in with Firefox?
    I got rid of Google altogether because of the drop down box when searching, everything I tried didn't get rid of it so I come to the conclusion that Google is GARBAGE~!~! And INTRUSIVE GARBAGE AT THAT.~!~
    I AM GOING TO SEND ALL MY FRIENDS TO FIREFOX.

  • 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,

  • 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 I get rid of Google each time I open firefox?

    How do I get rid of the Google that sits on the page. I think I have the right to deside when I wish to use google - no body else.

    Thanks for the thought - but I probably do not understand. I expect to see "About:blank". If I set that up I get instead "About:home" and even then it seems google is still in the center of the page - and there is even a list of "abouts" to consider.
    I must have a search engine of some sort - I would prefer one that is not doubling up as a statistics collector. I want to be able to get an empty page with the option to put in my search (or address) at the head and not see anything else. Every time I experiment with that need, eventually Google comes back. It used to be like that in the old days....

  • 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.

  • Get rid of Google Custom Search

    Address and search bar do 'google custom search'. This is pretty much useless. I CANNOT get rid of it. I want NORMAL GOOGLE. About:config settings do NOT change this.

    Starting with Firefox 23 the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar that way.
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.
