How do I remove iCal Alarm scheduler?

Hi,
I'm having major problems with my iCal and basically after following advice from Apple I now have NO iCal! SO, I'm trying to download it from the website but it says it is not compatible with my computer.
So, I've bluetoothed the whole file over from my old mac and tried to add it only I can't completely delete the old iCal file as it says
"the operation cannot be completed because the item "iCalAlarmScheduler" is in use"
I can't just open up iCal and remove as it won't open up! So, does anyone know a way to remove the alarm scheduler without opening up iCal! So annoyed with Apple, I'm 2 weeks out of my warranty and they helped me over the phone but actually made it worse because before I spoke to them at least I had iCal (even if it didn't stay open long) now I have nothing!
Please help if you can!
Thanks

yes, I would love to see some sort of tool that allows me to strip the invitations out of my calendar en mass (my reason is that past events with invitations are for some reason corrupting my calendar and inhibiting me from uploading it to MobileMe). If anyone knows of a tool that does this, please share it!

  • How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?

    Whenever I add an event to my iCal calendar in Mounain Lion it will automatically add one default alert only on my iphone and ipad. These default alarms are not displayed on my macbook or icloud.com
    Default alarms are disabled in macbook, icloud.com, and my ios devices.
    How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?
    Thanks and sorry for my english.
    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.8

    OK, so I have had this issue for the past several months. I think it all started when I upgraded to ML from SL and migrated my calendars and contacts to iCloud. That was a couple months ago. But now I am running 10.8.2, and about two weeks ago I upgraded my iOS devices to 6.0.1.
    I don't seem to be having any issues with events that I create now, but all those old events that were migrated to iCloud a couple months ago, many of those sound alerts on the iOS devices even though there was no alert defined when the event was originally created. I have always had alerts off by default both in iCal and on the iOS devices.
    So here's the question: is there a way to go through and disable all these spurious event alerts? I've been disabling them as the event reminders come up, but it's irritating. It would be nice if there was a way to turn them off all in one shot somehow.

  • How can I get iCal alarm to sync with my iPhone 4?

    My iCal alarm won't sync with my iPhone 4 if I add the event using iCal on my Mac. I find that if I set an alarm on iCal, I only get an alert on my computer. If I add an event on my iPhone, I get a pop up alarm on both the phone and the computer. I want to be able to add an event on my computer and get an alert on both devices. Is this option even possible?

    Turn up the alert volume all the way in Sounds.   Lock it so you can't change it with the buttons.

  • How to totally remove iCal ?

    I want to remove iCal 2 in total, then do a clean install. Hopefully this will solve my problems since I upgraded to Tiger & iCal 2.
    Do I have to remove more than just the files from the application folder?
    thanks ...

    Starting with the plist is a good start but beware before you "remove the iCal folder from Application Support" as some info is not retained, specifically Calendar groups, Colors, and sometimes recent changes. There are less drastic things to try first.
    Which is why I recommended the poster move the items to the Desktop. Once this is done, the issue can be isolated, and pared down to the one corrupt item in question
    Good advice re: a different user, as well.

  • How can I remove iCal calendars from touch?

    I posted this to the iPod forum so this is a cross post ... just in case anyone here knows.

    Hi there.
    I don't think you can delete a calendar from your Touch directly. I think you have to delete it from iCal. Once you have done that then it should disappear from your Touch. Of course this is assuming that you are connected up with Mobile Me and doing an air sync.
    If you are not doing an air sync, then probably you can make changes in iTunes about what calendars get synced and which do not.
    Good luck!

  • How to remove an Alarm Song from Alarm Sound list?

    When using the standard Clock app, how do I remove an alarm song from the Alarm sound list under Edit Alarm? I can add new songs, but cannot find a way to remove unwanted ones.

    The two most played songs are added by default, & there is a limit of 5 songs that can be added. The only way to remove a song is to keep adding a new song until the one you want removed is removed.
    Tell Apple you want better control of this here:

  • ICal alarm malfunction

    My alarms work fine if I happen to have the computer on when the alarms go off. But, if an alarm is scheduled to go off at 4pm, for example, for an evening event, and I turn the computer on at 4:30, the alarm does not go off. This has caused me a few problems with missed meetings.
    I have the "turn alarms off when computer is off" box unchecked. Both iCal and iCal alarm scheduler are in my startup items. I have tried deleting all iCal plists, and the cache file, and restarting with no success.
    What am I missing? any suggestions?

    A Eureka! For some reason, on this Mac, if I check the preference box "turn off alarms when iCal is not open" it works fine. Now, if I have an alarm set to go off at 10:00am and I start up my computer at say 10:30am, the 10am alarm shows up just fine.
    The wording on this preference is a bit confusing, but from other discussion comments, it seems that other Macs are working with the box unchecked.
    Anyway, I'm a happy camper.

  • HT2488 How do I create an iCal Alarm to delay send an e-mail in my Drafts folder of Mail?

    I've learned how to use iCal Alarm to schedule sending an e-mail.  However, all of the instructions I read say that I have to type the e-mail inside the automator's "New Mail Message". Is there a way to type the message in Mail, save it in drafts, and then create an iCal Alarm to schedule sending it?
    I got as far as "Get Specified Mail Items" --> "Display Mail Messages".  This sequence displayed a message in Drafts.  What next to get it to send that message it displayed?  I tried adding "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.  And I tried adding "New Mail Message" --> "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.
    Sometimes there will be several e-mails I want to delay send (some that I started earlier in the day, saved in Drafts and finished up in the wee hours of the morning) and it seems a waste to have to create a new iCal Alarm for each. 
    Thank you!

  • How prevent iCal ALARM reminders popping up when not wanted?

    Sometimes I don't want to see my alarm box popping up to remind me of things.
    Suddenly, & frequently, the pesky iCal Alarm box pops up in the middle of the screen with another preset alarm reminder, insisting on my immediate attention. Like when I'm watching a video on my mac.
    Then I've got to get up and move it out of the way, but as soon as I touch it, the video which I've set to full screen shrinks to small & I've got to click it to big again. This is just one of the inconveniences.
    Please, how can I set the iCal alarm to give it a rest for a while and save those reminders for later
    I've made lots of iCal alarms to remind me of things throughout the day. so these interruptions are a constant problem.
    Q#2: Why doesn't my ALARM BOX show active the Yellow Button so I could relegate it to the side Dock? Or even the Green Button, so I could enlarge it when I want to see all my open reminders without scrolling?
    Instead, My ical ALARM BOX only has the Red button, which closes it out and loses all those reminders therein until it's their time again.
    Oh, dear, I don't think anybody can solve this problem.
    Or
    can
    you?

  • How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?

    I need to remove ALL the moon phases that appear in iCal 5.0.3. Every time iCloud updates it sends 6 to 10 moon events to my MacBook Pro. Going forward 3 0r 4 months, there are too many moon phases. How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?
    I am on a MacBook Pro 2.2 with 4 GB using Mountain Lion 10.7.5.

    Try:
    items.RemoveAll(s => string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));
    Or you can filter them out using where:
    var noEmptyStrings = items.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

  • How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical

    How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical when I open Ical

    Look at some of the lunar events, and see what keywords they are using - eg moon or phase. Use one of those keywords in the search box. Find the earliast occurence in the list and delete it. This may take out all subsequent occurences, or you may have to delete them individually.

  • How do I set iCal so that my alarms go off when in sleep mode?

    I'm pretty sure that I can set iCal to open a program (iTunes) as an alarm while the computer is in sleep mode but I can't find the setting. This morning it didn't go off while in sleep mode.
    Does anyone know how?

    I am pretty sure that you can't. You can however use the Energy Saver in System Preferences to wake the computer at a set time, and then your iCal alarm could fire.

  • How can I remove events from iCal?

    I send myself calendar invites (repeating weekly meeting invites)from Outlook from my office workstation, to my personal email address that I monitor on my iPhone.  These are typically .ics files.  Once I accept that event on my iPhone, then that event shows up on iCal.
    But if I cancel that event on my workstation, I get the cancellation email on iPhone, but the event DOES NOT get removed from iCal.
    How can I remove those events from the iPhone iCal app?
    Thanks!
    Vince in Leesburg

    thisone - Thanks for your response, but unlike most events, this one does not have an edit button before the Event Details screen. In the top right hand corner next to the words 'Event Details' there is just an empty space.
    This event is extremely pesky and I have repeatedly synced my phone in attempt to remove it. It was an invitation I accepted for a recurring weekly event, which was sent to an email address for my old job. That email address is no longer active and no longer existing on my phone, but this event continues to show up on my calendar every single Tuesday.
    Help?
