How do I delete a calendar event (repeating daily forever) that I accepted on my iPhone from a mobileMe iCal invite?

Hi,
I'd like to know how to delete a calendar event from my iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar. The event was sent to me from a mobileMe synced iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar and for some reason it was set to daily repeat forever.
The event has been deleted from the originators calendar now, but the result has not been propagated to my calendar, despite an update being sent out. When I attempt to accept it just hangs and doesn't update in my calendar.
More annoyingly, the event doesn't have an edit button in my calendar, so I cannot delete it (and all other occurences) myself.
Any ideas on how to remove it?
Thanks,
Rich

A workaround. Not perfect but it gets rid of it.
Do the below link's steps and then deselect that calendar from view.

How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone?

How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone? It allows me to "edit" the event but not to totally delete it. Or at least I can't seem to find a "delete" option anywhere!

Did you create the event somewhere else? A lot of time when u create it on lets say PC or mac, you wont be able to edit it unless its from the same device.
Its also possible its created under a mail account. I would suggest making all your events via icloud, then u should be able to edit it on all platforms regardless on which device made the event.

How do I delete a calendar event from iPad 2?

Hello, I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Lion and my wife has an iPad 2.
I invited her to a recurring event through iCal on the MacBook Pro. My wife accepted the invite and added it to her calendar on the iPad 2. I later updated the event from monthly to every four weeks. My wife accepted the update but it added it as a second event on the iPad, i.e., both the original monthly series and the four-weekly series are present in the iPad calendar. On the MacBook Pro only the updated event series is present.
I've since deleted the event on the MacBook Pro. My wife received the notification of the delete on the iPad 2 but there was no option to delete the event.
How can I delete the two recurring iPad series?

View the calendar in Month view.
Tap on the event. You should see an outline of an arrow pointing to the event. At the opposite end of the arrow from the event should be and Edit button.
Tap Edit and a larger box with the details of the event shall appear. At the bottom of that box should be a Red Delete button.
This should appear for all events but perhaps automatic events or pleating events are different.

How do I enter a calendar event in my iPhone 4 iOS5 that repeats every third Thursday?

How do I enter a calendar event in my iPhone 4 iOS5 that repeats every third Thursday?

If you have Outlook 2007 on your computer you can set up the event to repeat every third Thursday on a calendar on your computer within Outlook. Then sync your iPhone with Outlook on your computer using iTunes.

I get double entries to my calendar when I sync. How do I delete the extra event.

I have double entries to my calendar after a sync. How do I prevent this from hapening and how do I delete the extra events.

I installed iSync from my SL backup and all went well as it showed up in my applications and when brought up on the screen, launched, I reset the history.
When trying to sync my calendars again I first uncheck all calendars via iTunes, syncronized and then check the one I wanted and syncronized again. No difference, ended up with many multiples.
I then searched a little further using spotlight typing in just iSync and a developer file showed up that looks like it is designed to reset the history but no sure. I opened in in Komodo but don't know how to proceed from there.
Here is the file: Under Usage it seems I could run this file but not sure how to. Could you help with this or am I on the wrong track?
Thanks

I need to delete a calendar event that transfered to my 4S from my Droid phone. This event occurs yearly. When I open this event, the edit button that normally appears in the upper right corner does not exist so I can't delete it. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

What do you mean? You can't delete the Calendar app.
Just how did you delete the event?

I encountered a similar problem when finally (and with much regret) I was obliged to migrate my MobileMe to iCloud last month.
Many years of iCal history vanished without trace during this automated transition by Apple and iCloud then kindly synched the resulting vacuum back to iCal on my Mac.
Fortunately, iCloud wasn’t able to decimate iCal on my other Macs because (1) they are still running Snow and (2) I had switched them off as a precaution. Good job I did.
My solution was to export my iCal data on one of those other Macs to a backup file – then I imported that backup file into my Lion-updated Mac’s iCal. That restored all the iCloud-deleted iCal data back on to my Mac and this was promptly synched automatically to my Calendar on iCloud. So now it’s all there and showing.
Perhaps you could do something similar? In the meantime, be very careful not to let iCloud’s amnesia get synched to your iPhone (and other devices).
Experience has taught me never to trust an “upgrade” until it is proven to be working correctly and always to keep in reserve another Mac with a properly-functioning system and all synching to it switched off...

HT4528 How do I recover my calendar events? How about downloading audio books?

Since the latest iOS 7 upgrade, I HATE my iPhone! I was able to recover my contacts. I was not able to recover my calendar events.
How do I recover my calendar events?
I have an appointment tomorrow & can't remember necessary info!
How about downloading audio books?
I am not able to download an audio book, which I have done for a very long time w/o issues. Have any suggestions?

When I synced, & recovered the contacts, the calendar recovered events (as current) that I had deleted last winter.
I check out audiobooks from the local library & download them using OneClickDigital Media Manager. It goes thorugh iTunes to get the book onto my phone. It shows up pale in iTunes (All other items are in bold print.) & the book does not show up on my phone at all.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
The calendar however, is not easy to use.
The typing function on the phone has become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

How do I move google calendar events to iCal?

how do I move google calendar events to iCal?

ab1268,
I'm trying to do this very thing. I have multiple google calendars set up (one for each kid, my husband etc.). I want to move to iCal exclusively. Based on your note above, should I export each individual calendar within ical. Remove each from the iCal account and then reimport then into ical? I suppose the risk is low b/c the data still exists in google.
Please advise - I would hate to misstep. Very new to the apple world (aside from iphone / ipad).
Thanks!
