How do I select multiple calendars?

Somehow iCal has given me multiple -- as in hundreds -- of "untitled" calendars (a sync issue?). I want to select and delete a whole bunch of them at once. Otherewise it's a painfully slow process of selecting and deleting one at a time. Any ideas how I can select multiple calendars? Holding down the shift or command key doesn't do it.
iCal is hobbled by memory problems until I clear out these uninvited calendars. I get the spinning ball, for instance, if I try selecting a different month.

Paste this into Script Editor's window, click Run, and go for a cup of coffee. It worked here to delete a dozen newly-created untitled - don't know what it will do for you, so it might be an idea to doa backup first.
tell application "iCal"
          set Them to calendars whose name starts with "Untitled"
          repeat with ThisOne in Them
  delete ThisOne
          end repeat
end tell

  • How do you sync multiple calendars?

    How do I sync multiple calendars with Outlook?

    Well. I make an export Archive from iCal.
    Then deactivate from the iPhone (Adjusts - iCloud) the Calendars.
    For now, I will not use iCloud for calendars. I do not understand why we end with two Calendars. One from iCloud and one from the iPhone or the Mac itselves.
    We must have just ONE calendar for all.
    I use CalAlarm app from Devart and with the iPhone icon selected on iTunes I had to uncheck and check on Information label Sincronize Calendars of iCal.

  • How do you select multiple files to drag

    How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

    Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer.  Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue.  Drag it to the new folder.
    If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A')  individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

  • How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

    How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere? 
    My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card.  I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it.  Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
    If not, any suggestions on backup apps?  I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...).  Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • How Do I select Multiple songs to Use with Slideshow?

    I am running Lightroom 4 on an iMac with OS - Lion. Love it!
    I am trying to create a slideshow with music in the background but I cannot seem to select more than 1 song. How can I select multiple songs?
    Thanks
    Adrian

    The slide show feature in Lightroom isn't really very flexible or feature packed.  I suspect the design was to provide professional photographers a quick way to show proofs to clients.  You will have to use other software for what you intend to accomplish.  I'm going to be creating a slide show with about 500 images soon.  My intention is to create the slide show with Lightroom and export as video.  Then I will use Premiere Elements and import the video and lay down the music track.  There are easier ways to do it, I know.  But I don't do this kind of thing very often and don't plan to purchase more software that would make it easier.

  • How do I SELECT multiple albums in iPhoto?

    I can select a single album:
    select album "Album A"
    But, How do I SELECT multiple (non-contiguous) albums in a list?
    Something like :
    select album's {"album1","album3","album9"} --(doesn't work)
    -TIA
    G4 powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I agree, it seems to just be limited to children of Library.
    I'm going to use your 'build command' to deselect all Library items. That way, the novice computer user will get visual feedback that Library items won't be processed.
    ----------------applescript
    tell application "iPhoto"
    set _selection to selection as list
    --getting selected albums inherently omits Library albums (a bug IMHO) .
    set _albumsSelected to {}
    repeat with _album in _selection
    set end of _albumsSelected to _album's name
    end repeat
    -- Now, reselt albums to deselect Library albums.
    set commandString to "select (albums whose name is "
    set firstLoop to true
    repeat with albumName in _albumsSelected
    if firstLoop then
    set commandString to commandString & "\"" & albumName & "\""
    set firstLoop to false
    else
    set commandString to commandString & " or name is " & "\"" & albumName & "\""
    end if
    end repeat
    set commandString to commandString & ")"
    run script {commandString}
    end tell
    Thanks Bernard for your help. I just changed "contains" to "is" because in my tests I had "untitled album", "untitled album 1" etc. Then, because of the first "untitled album", all iterations were re-selected (not desirable).

  • How do I create multiple calendars on my iPad?

    How do I create multiple calendars on my iPad?

    I love stealing another users posts and here is one now ....
    You don't create multiple calendars on the iPad.
    The iPad is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer for contacts and calendar events. The contact Groups I've created with the Address Book on my Mac and the different calendars I have with iCal on my Mac are available and kept synchronized with the my iPhone's Contacts and Calendar applications, and the same applies to the iPad.
    Long story short, this is done with the supported application on your computer used for syncing contacts and calendar events.
    The same principle applies to PC users. You have to sync within iTunes from a supported calendar application on your PC.

  • How do I select multiple clips in a timeline in the reverse direction, e.g. middle to front?

    I know how to click "a" and select clips in the timeline looking forward, but how do we select multiple clips from a middle point to the front of the timeline?  I don't want to be lassoing -- is there some other way?

    Please check the track selection tool. Refer to the link below for more information about the tools section.

  • How do I select multiple columns in a recordset

    I am very new to Dreamweaver/PHP/MYSQL
    I have created my recordset but I cant work out how I select multiple columns.
    How do I select multiple columns, I want to search for data that is spread over different columns.
    My recordset looks like this just now.
    SELECT *
    FROM names
    WHERE nameone = john
    I have 11 columns where the name john my or may not appear so how would I select all the columns. What would the recordset look like.
    As I have said I,m very new to this  and forgive me if what i have just said makes no sense.
    Thanks

    >I have 11 columns where the name john my

    >the columns. What would the recordset look like.
    You could try a Full-Text search (if mysql supports it) but on the surface, this sounds like a badly designed data structure. What does your database and table design look like?
