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 do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
HOWEVER.....
Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac

How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac?

To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via iPhoto.

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

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 do you delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having them deleted from devices?

I need to delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having those files deleted from all my devices. How do I do that?

Just got off the phone with Apple customer service. It seems there is no around this problem. Once you use iCloud, you're screwed. The day you decide you don't want to have certain files store in iCloud, but you still want the files accessible on your computer, you have to spend valuable time copying/hiding a set of files on each device, and then re-setting up those same files in each device they way they should be once you delete them out of iCloud. Same thing if you decide to cancel your lCloud account.
No software should have the ability to hijack your data this way.

How do I delete songs from iPad without Match deleting them from iCloud?

I've used Match to put a bunch of songs on my 16GB iPad and now I've run out of memory and need to remove some of them. How do I remove them from the iPad without Match automatically deleting them from iCloud and iTunes on my laptop? I only want to take the songs off the iPad.

This is a topic that has been covered in-depth on this forum.
You can delete individual songs by swiping across them and tapping the delete button. Or, in the Artist of Album view tap-n-hold for a second, then tap the "x" in the upper left to delete. Or you can delete all downloaded music by going to Settings > General > Usage, tapping Music, then swiping and tapping the delete button.
This will not remove the music from the cloud or the iTunes library.

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 photos from iPhoto without deleting them from my hard drive

I've imported a bunch of photos from my hard drive.
I would now like to delete some of these photos from iPhoto but would still like to keep them on my hard drive in case I need to access them in future.
However, when I delete a photo from iPhoto and move it to the Trash, once Trash is emptied it deletes the original from the hard disc as well.
How do I get around this?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks guys.
Can I hide an entire Event?
I used to use Picasa on a PC. When you make any changes in Picasa (even rotating a picture) it creates a copy. Any photos you have altered get named 'Originals' so when you import into iPhoto you end up with hundreds of Events called Originals with near duplicate photos.
So probably a third of my images (around 1500) are near dupes which I want out of the application but want to keep secure on my hard drive...
The pitfalls of switching to iPhoto from Picasa I guess (that said, iPhoto looks great)...

How do I delete songs from my personal Apple ID without them being deleted from my family's account on the same computer?

I created a seperate ID from my family because I just got a new iPod and will need a personal account when I soon go off to college. All of the music from the original account has transfered over. Everytime I try to delete a song on my ID, it is also deleted off of my family's. How do I delete stuff off mine without affecting anyone else's?

You will be able to rebuild a library on a different computer by re-downloading any songs that you purchased to that computer from iTunes in the Cloud. You will not be able to download any music purchased under the family's iTunes ID (unless you sign on the family's iTunes ID to your new computer and authorize the computer for that ID as well). Then you would be able to download any music you purchased under that ID to the new computer as well.
But you do not want to delete items from your current family's iTunes Library. To selectively download specific music to your iPod, you need to sync it to the library:
Hook up the iPod to the computer, and select it under Devices when it shows up
Once you have clicked on it, you will see the Device Profile screens to your right
Check each screen to determine what you do and do not want sync'd to your iPod
Pay specific attention to the Music tab. On that screen, select the specific music you want downloaded
Once you have set up your Device Profile screens, click Apply, then Sync
Note that when you get your new computer, and hook up your device to it, it is going to erase all of the items that get synced from your device, and replace what it there with whatever is in the library on your new computer.
However, Any Apps, Music, TV Shows, Movies, Books that you have purchased, can be downloaded to build your own library prior to attaching your device, so that your purchased items will replace what is there now. And again, you can also add to that library with items you purchased under your family's iTunes ID by signing that ID on to your new computer and downloading items under that ID that you have purchased. Once you have "built" your library, you can then sync your device.
Cheers,
