ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

Hi Everyone,
I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
-Currently have an iPhone 3GS
-Using Google Calendar
-Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
-Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!!

The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

i deleted my events in iPhoto Help?
You deleted them in iPhoto on your Mac?
If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto library, run the recovery program you downloaded, then reimport the folder with recovered photos into iPhoto.
You will probably have to weed out plenty of seemingly duplicates (thumbnails, previews, and original files), since the program will not be able to reconstruct your events, only find image files.

How to un-sync a calendar and NOT delete ANY events? Please help!

Hi,
I seem to be the only one with this problem. I search all over and can't find information for what I want to do, everyone wants to do the opposite.
So basically I had a job and an iphone. I used my calendar at work for personal events and so forth. I synced the calendar on my work's exchange server to my iphone. Then I lost my job. My password no longer works, so sync fails and it keeps asking for my password and draining my battery. I try to cancel sync, and the iphone threatens to delete all my events. I don't want to delete my events, i just don't want it to keep trying to connect to my old job. How can I keep all my calendar events and not get nagged every 10 seconds to enter a password?
I do not have outlook on my home computer either.
Thanks!

OK, so i bit the bullet and canceled my sync to my calendar at my old work.
My old calendar events are now gone. All of them. The stuff added through my outlook at my old work is gone. The personal stuff added on my iPhone directly is gone. The stuff added on my phone after it stopped syncing with my old work is gone. My calendar is COMPLETELY EMPTY now.
Can someone explain this to me?

How to delete duplicate events in iCal

Somewhere along the line of upgrading, syncing, etc. with MobileMe we had, no joke, thousands of the same events duplicated. We started out trying to shift-click to delete multiple events at a time, but since it is syncing with MobileMe everytime this is done, it was taking forever. So, I went to View menu, Show Search Results. Then, did a search in the top right corner of iCal. All the duplicates appeared in the Search Results screen at the bottom of the pane. Then, within that pane, you can shift click and delete all/multiple events more easily - way more easily. Hope it helps someone.

Thats a good tip Reggie.
For anyone else reading this post, keep in mind that if you see "duplicates" with the MobileMe calendar it may mean you are seeing two separate copies of the same calendar. Before spending time deleting individual events read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505

Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events. I would like to delete all events with the same title. I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually. These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well.
Please help!

If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

I have a big problem.
I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
(Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
Thank you

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

I can't delete an event in iCal

I'm trying to delete an event from my iCal & a message pops up saying that only the calendar admin can make changes in the "Contacts birthdays & events".
Since it's my calendar, aren't I the admin? This contact is no longer in my contacts book. Can anyone help? Thank you.

From this page:
https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37098?hl=en
Contacts' birthdays and eventsWhen you subscribe to this calendar, all of your contacts' birthdays will display as All Day events in Google Calendar. Data is pulled from Google Contacts, which you can access via http://www.google.com/contacts (or, if you have a Gmail account, click Contacts from your inbox).
Have you tried removing the date from your Gmail contacts?

Deleted recurring events still show up on iPad/iPhone/Macbook Calendars

Trying to view several calendars for the purpose of project management. Here is the problem step by step:
1) If I am UserA and have my calendar set up as Exchange or CalDav with FULL rights, I can add, delete or edit all events as needed. I can add recurring events and DELETE one or more occurrences of the recurring event and have THAT show up correctly on my iPad.
2) If UserB sets up his calendar and gives me read access, I can SUBSCRIBE to his calendar using normal "other / caldav" subscription settings and view it properly. No problem.
3) If UserB sets up a recurring event (lunch meeting at noon every Monday), that shows up properly on my iPad. No problem.
4) If UserB is going to be out of town or decides to cancel his lunch meeting for some other reason, he can on his own machine (Outlook, Mac Calendar, iPad with Exchange full account) delete that event. No problem for HIM.
5) On MY iPad, the subscribe calendar never shows anything different. The same recurring events continue to display even if UserB has delete one OCCURRENCE of the event. This IS a problem. My view of his calendar is now incorrect. Yeah, yeah, one meeting one day is not a problem. But multiply that by several users, multiple deletions of recurring events, and suddenly the whole shooting match is out of whack.
6) I can refresh the calendar to my heart's content, but nothing changes.
7) Here's the kicker: I can DELETE the subscribed calendar and RESUBSCRIBE to it. This forces a completely fresh download to my iPad. Doesn't change a thing. The same recurring events still override ANY deletions that the user made to individual instances of the events.
In looking at the raw ICS file which I can download via a web browser, an entry might look like this:

You can easily see that the EXDATE shows a deletion for 2013-02-25 as well as other dates. Doesn't matter. They STILL show up on the iPad and in the Mac OSX Calendar.
I consider this a bug. I hope an Apple employee sees and responds to this. I would welcome any thoughts, workarounds or suggestions that could help with this.
Yes, I can tell users to only put INDIVIDUAL events on their calendar. But, let's face it. It's easier to put a recurring event and delete one or two instead of putting 50 recurring events for the whole year.
And, of course, Outlook displays things properly as do similar CalDav clients.

Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2). Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
Clearly a bug.

TS4337 How do you stop the incessant error message when calendar can't update or delete an event on my Exchange, even though I have hit every option and even deleted the exchange and the calendars. I'm ready to never use the computer again with the const

Calendar is incessantly posting error messages that it cannot change or delete an event on my Exchange calendar. I have tried the "revert to server, try again, and ignore" more times than I can count. I even deleted the exchange from my connection and reinstalled without help. Even when I have deleted the Exchange, it continues to have this error window every 60 seconds. I am ready to stop using the computer just for the stress of it. Any suggestions or help before this screen winds up with a shoe in it?

To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
That's it. Does it work on Facebook?

Why have deleted iCal events suddenly reappeared in my calender?

Assistance needed please for an iCal issue on Snow Leopard (iMac).
A bunch of formerly deleted iCal events have suddenly reappeared in iCal. I thought this would be easily resolved by using Time Machine (external HD) to restore the calendar files to when they were workings ok (a couple of days ago). Although this initially appeared to work, all the previously deleted events have suddenly reappeared.
If I was using iCloud I'd assume it was some kind of syncing issue, but I'm not. Least I can rule that out.

Cactus,
Here are two troubleshooting articles which may be helpful for you:
1. iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
2. iCloud: Resolving duplicate calendars after setting up your calendar application for iCloud Calendar

IPhoto has crashed on a number of occasions, but on 2 occasions also seems to delete several events, including the one I'm editing. When I go to reimport the last event, it shows them as already there. But I can't find them.

iPhoto on my iMac keeps crashing. On 2 occasions its also deleted several events. When reopening, the event boxes & dates are there but have no pics. Can anyone help with stopping the crashes please? Also are the pics still accessible or do I have to go to back up?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

In Calendar, deleting one event in a recurring event deletes everything...

When I delete one event in a recurring event, calendar deletes the entire event, both past and future. I am clicking the option "delete only this event," and the rest of the recurring event doesn't disappear on my iphone 4 (linked through iCloud). The strange thing is that the rest of the recurring event comes back after leaving the calendar alone for a day or two. Is it a problem with calendar or iCloud? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Personal opinion, the issue may be related to Calendar updating in another user side who has permission to this shared calendar.
To narrow down the issue, please do the following changes:
1. Confirm if the shared calendar permission is set for Reviewer or higher permission for this user.
2. Please remove this shared calendar from Calendar list and add it back to check whether the issue persists.
3. Change Outlook to Online mode and check whether the deleted single occurrences of recurring meeting is shown in calendar or not.

Deleted calendar event alert

Hi all,
I deleted a calendar event from my iPhone 4S after the event but it keeps popping up on my phone as an alert every single day. I might have set it to recurring which I dont remember but even if I did I deleted the event itself. I sync my phone with my laptop everyday but I dont understand how I get an alert on my phone when I already deleted it.
The worse part is I cant find this event anywhere on my phone but it pops up before lunch time every single day and its so annoying now. Can someone please help me out here on what I should do to get rid of this recurring event that I already deleted. Please help me! I appreciate all your support.
Thanks! Go Apple!

If you are syncing your calendar to a supported application such as Outlook you should try replacing your iPhone calendar with your Outlook calendar using iTunes. To do this, connect your phone to your computer, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings and under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone, check Calendars then Apply to sync your phone.

Iphoto deleted my events

iPhoto deleted my events. How do I restore them? I have a time capsule.
Help me Obi Won, your my only hope.
Mr. Sharky

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )
