Grabbing an event from a specific calendar by date

Is there a way to grab an event from a specific calendar by date?
Basically, I receive an email with information I want to put in the event name (title?) - it is in a particular calendar, and a on a particular date. I grab that event, update the event title with the information i parsed from the email message (i've already got that part done).
I've looked through many applescript examples, but they all seem to deal with creating an event, not updating one.

It's quite easy if you know specific value of the event, the following change summary property of the event:
tell application "iCal"
set _event to first event of calendar "Home" whose summary contains "Test..."
set summary of _event to "More Test..."
reload calendars
end tell
However, things get complicated when you try to get repeated events, because repeat events don't really have true start date and end date. So it's really difficult to get a repeat event by its start date or end date. See this thread:

  • How do I copy multiple events from a single calendar to another calendar?

    I have multiple events from my "Family" calendar that I want to move. I would like to create a new calendar and move only specific events from my "Family" calendar to this new calendar. I have tried to select each event, then export, but this doesn't seem to work. It seems to export all events in the "Family" calendar, not just the ones that have been selected. Is there any way to do this aside from exporting each event one at a time and reimporting to a new calendar?

    Drag them there. The volume they’re put onto needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

  • TS3999 Deleted past events from shared iCloud calendar. How can I get them back?

    I have accidentally deleted all past events from shared iCloud calendars when removing from one mac. How can I get them back?

    Why would you be surprised?  You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account.  Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose.  Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

  • How can I delete Facebook events from my macbook calendar?

    I'm using a MacBook Pro. I want to know how to delete Facebook events from my computers calendar, because it's taking up space and preventing me from seeing other events on that day.
    BUT, every time I try to delete it, an error message pops up "Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changes to read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator."
    And I can't delete the event. Have not tried declining the event because I don't wanna offend the person who invited me.
    Not a computer whiz, so idk if this helps but:
    MacBook Pro
    OS X Version 10.9.4
    Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  • IOS - Create Event from Messages in Calendar doesn't observe default Alert settings

    I have discovered a bug in the iOS Calendar app. If one gets a text message with a time and uses the underlined link (in Messages) to "Create Event," the newly created calendar item (Event) does not set the alert as defined in Calendar settings.
    For example, my alerts are set (in Settings) to 1 hour, but when using "Create Event" from Messages, the alert is pre-set to none. When creating a new event strictly in Calendar however, the 1 hour alert is set properly for the new event.
    Is this just me, or can others confirm this?
    And does anyone have suggestion for a fix?

  • Search iCal for all events in a specific calendar?

    Is it possible to search for all events that I have listed in a specific calendar? For example, I have one set up as "guests" and would like to see a list of all the events I have under that. I tried doing an ical search for guests, but nothing came up, as that's only the calendar's title.
    Thank you.

    I thought I was the only klutz who seemed to remember I used to be able to do this, but couldn't figure it out now. This is the second key feature for me (the other being the event info drawer) that's been dropped in iCal 3.0. I'm not sure if the development team is just basically misguided, or if Apple's excuse in the summer about putting off Leopard because programming talents were stretched too thin was, and still is, exactly what's happening.
    So disappointing.

  • Why don't events from my macMini calendar get pushed to iCloud?

    I'm running Lion OS--haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Events from my iPad appear in Cloud and on my mM calendars, but events from mM calendar don't upload.  Have checked iCloud calendars in my desktop program, and the account for iCloud appears to be in order in my calendar preferences.

    Check the requirements for the apps that won't transfer. They may not work on the iPod.

  • Edit iCal event from calendar1 to calendar 2 on iPhone dupliates the event

    Hi All,
    I have a very strange problem with my iCal server.
    A user has 5 calendars in his account. When he accesses his account every 5 calendars work perfect from the LAN and from the Internet (outside)... He enters an event in calender1, changes the event to calender2, it gets moved perfectly. This happens on OS X clients.
    Now the culprit, which drives me nuts...
    When he changes an event on his iPhone or iPad, the event gets duplicated. So the event which was in calendar 1 is now in calendar 2 as well, but stays in calender1 too...
    Hmm, I have searched here, googled my head off, and cannot find a solution.
    Does anyone have this problem or just me?
    thanks
    Rob
    Everthing is on 10.6.6 (Server Clients, iPhones are on 4.2.1. All calendars reside on the server, there are no local calendars.

    Hello there,
    I have the same problem. I use a 3rd party calendar app (miCal) to synchronize with my Google calendars. Their support told me to try it with iCal on iPhone, and its the same problem, so the problem resides there, as miCal is synchronizing with iCal on the iPhone.
    When I move an event from calendar1 to calendar2, it is displayed as supposed in iCal and miCal. When I access Google calendar directly via their web interface, you can see the "old" event in calendar1, though. So it's still there.
    I'm pretty sure the problem does not reside with Google, as I found some forum post with the same problem somewhere else on the Internet, but with MobileMe for calendar sync instead of Google.
    Currently I'm running 4.3.2 (according to the post above, it should be fixed with 4.3.1) but I still run into the same problem again and again as I move events from one calendar to another on a regular basis.
    With iCal on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) it works as it's supposed to. No complaints there. This duplicating of events happens only when I move events on the iPhone. Any solutions there?
    Thank you!

  • Moving events from default Outlook calendar to icloud calendar

    Is there a way to move events from my default Outlook calendar to my icloud calendar?  When I try to email events to myself it doesn't work.

    cbsma wrote:
    The only problem with that is that I usually do this when someone has emailed me an Outlook meeting invitation.  When I drag it to the icloud calendar, it makes a copy of the event and then sends everyone on the invitation list another invitation to the "Copy" of the meeting.  Any suggestions??
    You are right, Outlook is a terrible iCloud client, I chose not to use it because it is so very bad.

  • Ical keeping both events when I move events from one google calendar to another

    Hi all!
    I use multiple google calendars and sync them with my iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Air. I like to move events from one calendar to another (for color coding purposes), and am coming across a unique issue that I hope someone has a solution to.
    When I edit an event by moving the event from one calendar to another the events show up correctly on the iPhone and iPad, but not in my iCal on MacBook Air. (Only when I make the changes on my iPhone and iPad). For example, when I switch an event originally created in my 'appointments' calendar to my 'done' calendar the event shows up appropriately on iPhone and iPad, and even in my Google calendars on the web. But, the iCal on my MacBook Air keeps both events. This only happens when I make the changes from the iPhone or iPad. If I make calendar changes on my computer, then there are no hiccups on any of the devices.
    It seems like a syncing issue with iCal, and I can't figure out how to prevent the duplications in my iCal on my computer from showing up. Quite annoying because I have to go in and delete all of the duplicated events on the computer at the end of the day.
    I have the Mavericks OS on my MBA and the software on my iPad and iPhone are updated to the latest software.
    If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!

    Petrill,
    Thank you. I was trying to do that yesterday, but it was grayed out. It seemed to work alright today.
    Thanks,
    Sheena

  • Copy an event from a subscribed calendar.

    I have a number of subscribed calendars (sporting events, holidays, etc.). I usually leave these disabled, as they clutter up my default view which is set to "Month".
    What I would like to do is copy and paste individual events to my own calendar that I might be attending. Or, drag this event information to mail or other document.
    Unfortunately, this option is not allowed for subscribed calendars. Possibly I am missing something?

    Apple Iceman,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Works for me with the subscriptions that I use.
    Unfortunately, this option is not allowed for subscribed calendars.
    Could your elaborate how you came to that conclusion? I used keyboard shortcuts, and menu commands to effect a copy/paste.
    Or, drag this event information to mail or other document.
    I have determined that dragging will not work.

  • How do i remove duplicate events from my icloud calendar

    so i synced my ipad then my iphone and now i have 3 of each event on my icloud calendar.
    this is %!@$ ridiculous.

    Once you click to open it, in the menu bar at the top, click File, then Print:
    Then you should see the window pictured in my first post here. In that window, click Continue after selecting the date you want to print (under the Time range header), and then it will ask you which printer to print to. Click Print and that's all.
    May I suggest attending a workshop at your local Apple Store to learn your way around iCloud... Make a reservation

  • How can I delete events from the iPad calendar?

    I can add events although not particularly user friendly. I cannot seem to remove them and/or just reset the whole calendar. At this point, I'll just use my trusty paper planner! I did try searching the forums and looking in the deficient iPad manual. Thanks in advance.

  • How do I keep Facebook events from littering my calendar?

    I don't want Facebook events on my iCal.  I've been poking around, to no avail, trying to figure how to weed them out.  Is there an easy way?

    Hi,
    You don't say what version of OSX you are on.
    On OSX 10.8 the Facebook events I have are in a subscribed calendar called "<your name> Facebook Events" under iCloud. To remove the calendar, right click the calendar and select Delete.
    Best wishes

  • Events from my subscribed to Yahoo calendar are showing up in iCal one hour off and all calendars and computers have been reset to Central Time.

    I Use Yahoo calendar as my main calendar so my dh can access it from work, so I subscribe to it for iCal. I recently moved from Eastern Time zone to Central. I didn't re-set all my calendars and apps right away. I have all my calendars and computers on Central Time now but events from my Yahoo calendar are showing up in Eastern Time in iCal. I cant edit them on my Mac or iPad because they're events from a subscribed to calendar.
    So, how do I get these events to show up at the right time?
    Thanks,
    Reluctant Texan
