How do I delete a read only calendar entry

I'm trying delete an apparent "read only" birthday calendar event and I'm getting a message about "only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission...blah, blah, blah. I've tried how to "become a "calendar administrator" so I can delete a constantly occurring birthday reminder I do not want, but I have found nothing that will help me become this authoritative figure that can then possess these magical deleting privileges in my own calendar! Anybody been done this path and figured it out?
Many thanks.

If it is the Birthdays calendar then you control entries on it from the Contacts app.
If you enter a birthday on a contact card it will show a reminder in calendar.

    Attach it to your computer, open iTunes, and deselect syncing contacts and calendars. Syncing your iPod again with the mac will delete the unneeded content from the iPod.

  • Creating read-only calendars for syncing

    How can I create a read-only or protected calendar?
    Is it possible to create a calendar which, after syncing with the family computer, would be read-only, protected or non-editable, by the family computer user?
    Thank you,
    cj

    You're mixing metaphors here: 'publish and subscribe' and 'synchronize' are two independent processes. You can do both, but most users generally limit sharing calendar information to one or the other.
    Publication creates a read-only, public object to which others can subscribe if they know your calendar URL. Calendars can be published on .Mac or on a private WebDAV server.
    Synchronization allows the sharing of calendar data in read-write fashion across multiple machines or devices, generally for a single user. Groups can, to a limited extent, share such data with a .Mac family pack, or can use SyncTogether to share data among mixed workgroups, on a single machine among multiple users, across a subnet or over the internet.
    How you enable these technologies depends upon what you want to achieve. If you want a calendar to be viewable by someone but not editable, then you publish it and let them know that they can subscribe to it. If you want someone to be able to edit one or more calendars on a selective basis, then you use SyncTogether to synchronize them by allowing another user read-write access to a collection (but not necessarily all) of your calendars.
    You are starting at the head end of the process and attempting to configure these tools to offer services. What you need to do is just the opposite: determine what outcome you want to achieve, then configure one or more of the technologies to support that specific outcome. With SyncTogether, you can do that on a different basis for each synchronized user in your workgroup.
    Publish only if you are willing to let non-editable data exist publicly. Subscribe if you want read-only access to one or more calendars. Synchronize if you want multiple users to be able to add, change or delete event and task data.

  • How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

    How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

    There are several ways
         - Selecting the event and hitting the "delete" key on your keyboard (as Wayne Contello said)
         - Selecting the event and opening the "edit" dropdown menubar item, and then selecting "delete"
         - Selecting the event and right clicking, then selecting "cut" (this option puts the event on your clipboard)

  • Read Only Calendars are no longer showing up in the Delegates listing

    Earlier this week I had a Calendar (the boss's calendar), disappear from all the users that had Read Only access. All of the users that had Read/Write access can still see the Calendar. A couple of days later, I had another Read Only Calendar disappear from users iCal.
    Our Calendar data is stored on a Snow Leopard Server based XServe using Apple's built in iCal Server. The calendars that are diappearing no longer appear in the Delegation tab of the Accounts section on the User's individual iCal app preferences. If I move the user to the Read/Write group, the calendars re-appear.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi David,
    Are there any iCal logs that you could share that would give a hint of the problem?
    Are you using Mobile Access on that same server?

  • How to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout

    Hi, does anyone know how to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout? I am using: Style Class = AFFieldNumberMarker, but it only seems to work if the field is disabled. Disabling the field gives it a difference appearance that does not look right on our forms. These are calculated fields, which cannot be modified, so read only is necessary.
    I have looked online for some answers, and it seems that others are having similar issues.
    I have tried different combinations for the properties, but so far I cannot get it to work.

  • How do I change the color of a subscribed read-only calendar?

    When I subscribe to Google's read-only "US Holidays" calendar using http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/en.usa%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.c om/public/basic.ics my iPhone/iPad see the calendar just fine. However, it is light gray and I can't change the color. Is there a way to change the color of that subscribed calendar?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks Austin. I know of one place where you can, which is during the process of first subscribing to the shared calendar. The import dialog shows the calendar's color and you can change it at that point.
    I found this out only after posting my question, and it doesn't really provide a solution to my question; but your answer does seem to support my intial observation.

  • Tried to backup iCal now it's a READ-ONLY calendar! Help!!!

    I tried to backup my calendar before I attempt to install the Missing Sync to link my iCal to my Blackberry..I ended up getting a calendar with Most of my entries duplicated and now my calendar says its "read-only" so I can't modify it..I TOTALLY depend on my calendar for my livelihood and can't afford to lose my calendar data for the last 3 years....Can I undo what I've done?????? Thank you! Trishann

    Trishann,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I tried to backup my calendar before I attempt to install the Missing Sync to link my iCal to my Blackberry..Can I undo what I've done??????
    How did you backup your calendar, i.e. what do you have for an iCal backup.
    How many calendars do you have?
    Are any of them subscribed/birthdays?
    iCal Help Topic "If you can't change an event or calendar" says:
    If you can’t change an event or calendar, check the following:
    If it’s a calendar to which you’ve subscribed, you can change the calendar name but you can’t change its events or to-do items.
    If you were invited to an event, you can change only your status for the event, the calendar where the event appears, and the event alarm.
    You can’t change or delete events on the Birthdays calendar. (To show the Birthdays calendar, select “Show Birthdays calendar” in iCal preferences.) To change the birthdays that appear, open Address Book (in your Applications folder) and make your changes there. For more information, in Address Book choose Help > Address Book Help.
    Open Address Book
    If you can’t change a single event’s time zone or the iCal time zone, time zone support may be turned off. Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and then make sure the “Turn on time zone support” checkbox is selected.
    If you want to change events on a calendar that you published on the Internet, but you’ve deleted the calendar from your Calendars list, you need to re-create the calendar with all its events, give it the same name as the published calendar, and then publish the new calendar. The new calendar will replace the previously published one.
    If you can’t change an event for which you are the organizer, or you can’t change the attendee settings for an event you’ve been invited to, make sure all your email addresses are listed on your Address Book card (the card marked “me”).
    If you do not get any answers here, I would recommend that you contact Missing Sync Support Center for help.

  • Automator plug-in added to read-only calendar in iCal

    I was trying the 'Tiger Tip of the Week' about creating an Automator workflow saved as an iCal Alarm plug-in. Unfortunately, it added it to the 'Holidays' calendar, which is read-only. I found where the plug-in was saved in my library and deleted it, but the 'Boston Globe' event was still on my calendar. Luckily, I was able to unsubscribe and re-subscribe to the US Holidays shared calendar and make it disappear, but what did I do wrong? I didn't have any options available when saving as a plug-in.

    One way I've gotten around some weird problems like this in the past is to export my calendars to the Desktop, and then re-import them back into iCal. I'm not sure if this will work for you, however. You also might try backing up and restoring via File->Back up iCal... . Hope that helps.
    Edit: if the problem is related to a calendar you've published, Apple offers these suggestions (from iCal Help):
    ■ If you want to change events on a calendar that you published on the Internet, but you’ve deleted the calendar from your Calendars list, you need to re-create the calendar with all its events, give it the same name as the published calendar, and then publish the new calendar.

    ■ If you can’t change an event for which you are the organizer, or you can’t change the attendee settings for an event you’ve been invited to, make sure all your email addresses are listed on your Address Book card (the card marked “me”).
