How do I display cancelled events in iCal?

In a simple paper calendar, you can easily mark a cancelled event by drawing a big X over it. Why is that impossible with a €1000-computer? I just cannot get it into my head that it can't be done.
And another thing, in Sweden at least, Sundays and holidays are colored red in printed calendars. That way it is very easy to locate them when you glance at the calendar. Now, my computer has millions of colors - and yet it is evidently impossible to color certain dates to make the calendar more readable.
I suppose that at least some of the people who designed iCal must have used a paper calendar at one point or another in their life. So why not make a computer calendar program that can make everything a paper calendar can do AND all the things it can't?

Welcome to the discussions, Anders.
Tell Apple your suggestions at OS X Feedback.
You can subscribe to a Swedish holidays calendar at http://www.icalworld.com/intl.html - but I don't think it will be coloured!

How can i delete an event on ical without notifying

Hello
how can i delete an event on ical without notifying. All I want to do is delete the event and not notify anyone.
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 email an event from iCal on the iPad?

Hi, how do I email an event to someone from the iCal app on the iPad? Does it populate in an email?
Thank you,
Chris

Actually, the Invitations button is for incoming invitations. You send an invitation with the "Invitees" button in the Add Event screen. In any event, I never set up these buttons and I never consciously linked iCal to any email package but I have both of them. For some reason, they're missing from the OP's calendar.
The only thing that I can think of is that I do use MobileMe email (soon to be iCloud email). Note to rbrylawski and Clowndz - do you use MobileMe email?

How do you delete an event in iCal?

I have an iPad 2 and I cannot delete events from iCal.
Does anyone know how to do this?
iPad 2 seems very unstable after the latest software update on 9 May 2011.

Click on the event, and use the delete key. Or click on the event, and choose iCal>Edit>Delete.
Good luck.

How to get the cancel event of inlineDocument-style dialog.

Hi experts,
My customer has a question about ADF dialog framework.
When we open new inlineDocument-style dialog from af:commandButtton, how can we get dialog cancel event?
[Sample code]
<af:commandButton id="cb2" action="dialog:test"
windowModalityType="modeless"
text="dialog:test" windowHeight="500"
windowWidth="800"
windowEmbedStyle="inlineDocument"
useWindow="true"/>
When we use af:popup, it has popupCanceledlListener attribute so that we can handle the situation where users click close button or Esc button.
Does dialog have a similar feature?
We can set a returnListener for dialog, but it doesn't work in case users click close button.
Regards,
Atsushi

How to get touch cancel event on button

Hi,
I want to implement one button like when user clicks this button, it will fire one method and when user cancel the touch from button, it should fire another method using touch cancel event. I think that i need to set two method on buton.
Anyone knows how to do this?
Thanks.

If you're making the connections in IB, just ctrl-click on the button to bring up the floating black connections panel. You should see all of the button's control events when you expand the Events group. You may connect as many of those events as you wish, either to different action methods or to the same action method. You can also make the same connections in the Connections Inspector.
To make the connections in code, just add as many actions as you want. E.g.:
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(touchButton) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(cancelButton) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchCancel];
You probably don't really want the Touch-Cancel event, which is normally quite rare and has little to do with "Cancel" in the usual UI sense, but the above will work for you regardless of which events you choose (unless you were actually trying to describe a toggle). For a description of all the events see Control Events in the UIControl doc.
If what you want is an ON for touch down, and OFF for touch up, you can choose those events from the list I referred to.
If in fact you want a toggle action (first touch ON, second touch OFF), that would be done by connecting the Touch-Up-Inside event to a single action method and branching the code on a BOOL instance var that would alternate between YES or NO.
Hope that helps!

How do I select multiple events in iCal 8.0?

In OSX Mavericks, I used to be able to select multiple events in iCal in the event list view. I could select the initial event in the span of events to be selected. Then hold Shift while selecting the final even in the span of events. As a result, all of the events in that span would be selected.
in OSX Yosemite, this is no longer possible. There appears to be no list view, and holding the Shift button does not allow me to select a span of events.
What is the best way to select a span of events, say as much as 30 events?
Thank you.

How can I move an event in ical to another calendar without ical resending the event invite to everyone

I have 2 microsoft exchange calendars that I use for work. One is provided by my company, the other is provided by a customer that I do contract work for. The customer prefers to send invites to my email address provided to me by them. Which means that the invite appears on the exchange calendar provided to me by the customer.
That's fine, but I would like for the event to appear on my work calendar so that I can get reminders on my iphone (long story short, the customer does not allow me to connect to their exchange server via my iphone due to security reasons).
So, I go into iCal, open the event and change the calendar for the event. Unfortunately, that causes iCal to resend the invite to everyone involved in the event. This causes alot of confusion, obviously, as now everyone is wanting to know why I sent an invite for an event that is already scheduled.
How can I move events to another calendar without iCal sending another invite to everyone?

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

How can I see past events in iCal 5.0?

I use iCal to schedule jobs for customers and it does not let me see any events in the past when I use the search. Is there a setting or something? I can scroll back and see them but I can't search for them.

This may be a bug for all that I know but I am too cynical to believe that.
From everything that I have read, it appears as though Apple did remove the feature. What the reasons could be for that are beyond me. And I did find the paragraph that states that feature exists in the iPad. I copied this from the iPad User Guide for iOS 5. The free book that I downloaded in iBooks.
"Display a song’s lyrics
Display the album cover by tapping the thumbnail at the top of the screen. Lyrics appear if you’ve added them to the song using the song’s Info window in iTunes."
However, who knows with Apple anymore. Case in point - Apple changed the wording on their website about multitouch gestures being one of the new features of iOS 5, a day or two after the update came out. They decided to release the feature to work on the iPad 2 only - even though the website promoted the feature as being one of the new features for the "iPad" for months leading up to the release - leading all users to believe that it would work on the iPad 1 as well. I don't know if you read any of those threads but the screaming is finally starting to die down on that one.
My point is that even thought the guide says that the song lyrics works, I have not read of anyone that can confirm that it does. Maybe someone else will confirm that the feature is in the iOS, but I don't believe that it is. So for the time being - for me anyway - it is not a bug - but another "why did they do that" decision by Apple.
