How can I delete something in Ical without a notification going out to other people?

If I delete a meeting in my calendar it notifies the entire meeting, even if I didn't set the meeting in the first place.

I was extremely frustrated as I just started to get these SPAM messages yesterday. With the first one I declined, but then I didn't want to notify the spammer that they had hit a valid email. So with the second one (which I may have gotten because of my reply to the first), I found this fix. I use Calendar v6, so I hope this applies to you also.
I went to iCal preferences and unchecked "Automatically receive CalDAV invitations from Mail" in the "Advanced" tab, and my spam invitation disappeared from the inbox and a grayed-out invitation appeared as a Calendar item for the date I received it. I then control-clicked the item, and there was an option to delete, then it asked if I wished to notify, and I just said "no."
I hope this doesn't affect my Calendar invites from real people like my wife and friends.

  • How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone?

    How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone?  I've searched the Web and the only answer that comes back is to use a product that doesn't help me with Microsoft Exchange.  This seems like a fairly simple thing to fix, but has been outstanding for 3+ years.  Really?  Am I the only person who wants to remove old meetings from an Exchange calendar without whacking the entire calendar and its appointments and without having the original participants getting spammed?
    I'm using the built-in "delete events xx days after they have passed", which you would think wouldn't do this.  Guess again.  I cannot control the fact my clients use Exchange, and it's a fairly common e-mail system for enterprises to have.  Are there any solutions?
    Thanks!

    I was just experiencing this problem on Mountain Lion. The calendar I wanted to delete was on iCloud. So, I logged into iCloud from a web browser, and selected Calendar. On the current incarnation of iCloud Calendar the calendars are listed on the left. I selected the "Edit" link at the top of that list and chose delete. It indicated that the items would be deleted, but there was nothing about notifications. Then, when I went back to iCal on my Mac, I selected the calendar to be deleted, right clicked, and slected refresh...
    ... gone.
    It probably would have disappeared on it's own eventually. I'd be curious to see if theis works for others, so please confirm.
    Good luck.

  • How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

    Please help!!!!
    How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
    I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
    While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

  • How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

    how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • How can we Delete the Duplicate AUC or reverse AUC Valueswith out hiting GL

    Hi,
    we have the Dulicate AUC which are having  Duplicate AUC asset balances.
      We have been excluding the AUC assets when we run reports ever since in order to tie out to GL.  It would be best if we can either reverse them out or load some offsetting balances without making any postings to GL.  
    I'd like to clear it up though, so we don't need to modify the reports to agree with GL.
    Thanks and Regards,
    T.Harish Kumar

    Harish,
    As others said, its not possible to reverse/Delete the duplicate AUC postings. But I can suggest you a way to get your subledger tie-out to your Ledger balance.
    First, reverse your duplicate AUC postings. The entry posted will be Debit Gain/loss account and Credit AUC asset account
    Secondly, using OAMK set the AUC GL account to blank and post entries to the GL account alone. The entry should be Debit AUC GL account (not the asset account) and Credit Gain/loss account.
    Finally, again go to OAMK and reset the AUC GL account. Then check the ledger balances to the subledger. It should tie-out.
    Also, please be careful if you have to make any settings in your system before posting the 2nd entry.
    Regards,
    Vinod

  • How can i correct my ipad from hanging and not going out to get mail in g mail

    i need to restart my ipad to resolve the situtation. this is a new issue. how can i correct the situation.

    Is the software owned by the company or the employee?  The software should have been registered under a company Adobe ID and not an employee.  It sounds like that serial number is now associated with the employee's own Adobe account and not the company so essentially she owns that serial number.  Your company doesn't sound too efficient when purchasing and managing their own software.
    Your IT department should have had control of all software and ID's.  Have you checked with them to see if they have access to that account?  Is it possible the employee took the software with her when she left then installed it on her own computer?  That might be why your serial number no longer works.
    Adobe's tech support stinks especially if you ask a question outside of their knowledge and what they have on a script.  They may as well have monkeys answering the phone.  Actually monkeys are easier to understand than the reps are.
    Maybe somebody else will come along with a better resolution.  You should return the upgrade of CS6 and may have to either get the CC version or re-purchase the full-price CS6 while it is still available.

  • I have 20 GB of music stored on my Macbook Air (2011) and only 7GB in my iTunes library? How can I delete the extra music without deleting any of my 7GB in my iTunes Library?

    I have no idea how to go through my folders and delete all this extra music without deleting whatever the 7GB is in my iTunes!
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    If you use iTunes' default preferences settings, anything in your collection will be in your iTunes Media folder.  When you add a track to iTunes it places a copy in the iTunes folder but leaves the original where you downloaded it.  The exceptions are if you use the Automatically Add To iTunes folder it does move it, or you drag items to iTunes while holding down the option key in which case it uses the copy wherever it is.
    As for where the other files are, you will have to look on your computer.  Use Spotlight to search for .mp3 .mp4 or whatever file formats you have.  If they aren't in the iTunes folder and iTunes lists them as being in the library then likely they are the original files which you can delete.
    You will have to do some careful checking that whatever you delete is not the file actually used by iTunes.  If you have a flash drive or another drive for temporary storage i would stick the extra files there and then if something breaks you can restore them

  • How can I delete damaged picture files without opening iPhoto?

    I was downloading a few pics from my roommates professional-quality camera (I'm assume the file sizes are huge) and, of course, I had to download all 150 or so, instead just the few I needed. Anyway, I got a message that some of the files were "damaged" and couldn't be downloaded. Now, when I open iPhoto it either just locks up or shows some of the files downloaded, doesn't show others, and then locks up. So, what I need to do is just delete all pictures from that date without opening iPhoto .... any ideas how to do this?

    1 - In the future if you want only certain photos use image capture (in your applications folder) - with it you can selective load photos
    2 - try rebuilding your library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three rebuild options
    Do not use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library

  • How can I delete a "e-mail" without the next email automatically opening?

    I know with my iPhone 5 I can swipe to the left and delete a email in my inbox without the next unread email opening automatically. But with my iPad doing the same task I just mentioned doesn't work. It seems to still open up the next unread email if I delete or even if I delete it the edit way. In fact it seems like if I do it the edit way once I check off the circle to select what I want to delete it still previews or opens the message. Is their a way around it? I like to be able to just look at my 3 lines of text of the email and decide if I want to delete it without it opening and I like to be able to open a message that I want to open, but I don't want to have it open up the next email automatically because I may not want that next email to open.

    Yeah!!  Edit to delete opens the email you want to delete before you can delete it!!  I don't want to open those creepy spam phishing emails!!  So now I just let them pile up and go onto my PC to delete them, where I have the option of not opening them first.  I came on here looking for an answer but I'm just finding snarky retorts with no answers!  :(

  • How can I delete my icloud account without wifi or sim

    Hi my wifi is greyed out so won't turn on, I need to delete my icloud account from my phone, as I am selling it but I also now don't have a sim for it,
    Can account be deleted without wifi or SIM card?

    Have the new owner force the phone into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iOS device.  They will then go through the setup process which includes connecting to wifi.  At your end, perform the steps listed under "If the previous owner is not present" at the bottom of this article: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account.  Once the phone is erased and you remove it from your account, the new owner will be able to activate it normally using their own Apple ID (they may need to turn it off and on after you remove it from your account).
