Google has synched iCal without my permission

Google is out of control.
First it hijacked me into its "+" world via Youtube. Forcing me to create a "+" account (which I didn't want) if I wanted to keep all of my Youtube preferences, etc.
Now it has somehow dovetailed into my calendar app with IOS7, and is now synching events from one to the other. Without my permission.
How do I get Google out of my Calendar. It's now alerting me via email, several times a day about events, etc. Very maddening and creepy.
I did nothing to change settings, etc. This all started on its own after the IOS7 update.
<Edited by Host>

OK, it was post Mavericks update. Somehow (NOT by me) the GMAIL option became checked in the ACCOUNTS section of iCal's preferences.

I think my iPhone has been accessed without my permission. How do I know for sure.?

I have been having issues in my laptops for weeks. They are blatantly being accessed remotely and now it seems like they've gotten into my phone. Just because my wireless network is changing without my permission and my data logs show that programs and apps are being accessed when I haven't accessed them. Does iPhone run through apps daily even if they're not installed? Also . I saw video.toolbox which I understand(correct me if I'm wrong) is used on jailbroken phones. I don't have anything incriminating to hide on my phone or otherwise. But the invasion of privacy is sickening. Also. What about my passwords and financial info??? Please help me block this user and keep my info safe. Unless of course I'm being paranoid because of my laptop.

You are being paranoid because of your laptop.

New I tunes software has changed everything without my permission!

I don 't like this new version of I Tunes. It has changed the appearance of my files to Icons. Can't get it to go to List view. Font is too big. I can't find my songs and albums. How do I go back to old version?

SONGS is the list view for ALL your music. You can manage all your music from there without ever having to go to any of the other views.
If you use playlists, then there is PLAYLIST. All playlists can be configured to show as lists without any icons.

A search engine called DynaSearch has taken over fire fox without my permission

I think My brother has attacked my computer, he found my note book and i now have 160 spam when I had only about ten before, and even an xxx dating service used my daughters name to make me click to their site, saying," Sheila has a message for you". Since then fire fox started crashing every ten minutes, and now it's not crashing because a site called DynaSearch has taking over the usual Google trademark that used to apesr on my page, this is a search engine that has taken over Fire Fox without my permission correct. How do I get Fire Fox back, and get them off.

'pepflashplayer.dll' has downloaded without my permission.

My Adobe Flash settings (which must be edited online, for some stupid reason) are set to notify me if a download is available, but there IS NO SETTING for "do not download until I consent".
Norton has informed me that 'pepflashplayer.dll' has downloaded without my permission. How do I prevent Flash from downloading or installing updates without my permission? I would gladly grant it as soon as I verified that it really is a Flash update, but I am simply not comfortable with ANY software downloading or installing updates on its own, without the consent of the computer user.
How can I stop this from occurring?

I helped launch Norton Insight - so I can provide a little insight here.
Insight identifies executables by making a digital "hash" of the file. It then tracks how that file behaves on your system - does it lead to crashes, does it use lots of resources, is it associated with potentially malicious behavior (such as downloading files without permission, changing security settings - about 400 different behaviors). It reports back Symantec - data it collects from 50 or 60 million users. This is what Symantec calls the file's "reputation". It uses an algorithm to rate the safety of the file based on behaviors, the file's source and on how many people use the file without showing signs of infection.
So insight is a way to detect malicious code - or files infected with malicious code, even files Symantec has never seen before.
If the file changes, even if one byte changes, the hash will no longer match and it will be considered a new file. So only 5 people are using that exact version of the file - but many other versions of that file could be used by many other people.

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, and if so, how do you synch iCal with your Google calendar?

Am trying to synch my iCal information with Google Calendar. I can find information to get Google info into iCal but not synching iCal information with into Google.

You can sync to one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
That would have nothing to do with it it not recognizing the device.

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
It seems you have several options. I chose 'Keep Both'. I suggest that you proceed with your search.
Ciao.

View wife's Google calendar in iCal

I have a bit of an unusual situation that I can't quite figure out. I use MobileMe, and all my calendars are on MobileMe so I can access them from iCal and my iPhone. I also have a Google account, but my Google calendar is empty. My wife, at her small business, has a Google calendar that should not be publicly shared, but has been shared with my Google account with read-only access. Is there any way that I can make that calendar show up in iCal, alongside my MobileMe calendars? (It'd be nice if I could see them on the iPhone as well.)

Hi Thomas,
If you are already syncing your Google Calendar with CalDAV and have permission to view your wife's calendar in Google. Go to iCal Preferences > Accounts, select your Google Calendar > Delegation tab and check your wife's calendar.
Best wishes

Unexpected call recording without my permission.

Hello! I want to make a complaint on Skype User: irina.starikov1.
She or He record a video without my permission and he/she tell me that if i don't pay money to him/she, the video will be diffuse on facebook. He/She has my facebook profile and access to my friends, today i blocked this access because i'm afraid.
She/he send me a message after recording:
Hi "<my real name>" i have all yr liste friends and i record your video
* i'm a professionnel hacker !
don't try to block me
and after this she/he send me a list of my friends.
Can you do something with that? Or i'm alone with that problem?
Please help.

Tamim, thanks for trying to be helpful. The real problem here is that Skype is violating their users trust. The program should say "Click here to update Skype and install Click to Call" but instead says "Click here to update Skype." It's a lie. Skype is lying to us. Nobody has the right to screw around with my computer!
Skype management is making a huge mistake in violating users' trust. Skype got big because they made a great product and then people like me used it and told our family and friends to use it. When Skype alienates people like me, they encourage us to switch to LINE or Google Talk/Hangout and take our networks with us. Skype's new management obviously doesn't understand their users. I believe the company will fail unless they change this.

HT1918 Hi, I have registered at apple site, and i have submitted the credit card information, they deducted some ammount without my permission, why they did that? how can i remove my credit card details from that site or deactivate my account?

Hi, I have registered at apple site, and i have submitted the credit card information, they deducted some ammount without my permission, why they did that? how can i remove my credit card details from that site or deactivate my account?

From that HT3702 page :
If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.
