How to delete all events from iCal?

Is it possible to select and delete all events from iCal? Or is it simpler to delete the calendar itself? Thanks!

Sorted now!
To clarify for people like me: type "." in the search bar
Then click on the first item in the results pane
Go to the other end of the list, hold down shift, and click the LAST item
They should all be highlighted now
Then use Edit/Delete
NB it may take a couple of mins (or ten!) for the items to disappear from your view, particularly if syncing with MobileMe.

  • How to delete all ALERTS in iCal at once?

    Over the years I have added repeating Events with Alerts to iCal on various devices (some of them passed on to my relatives). As a  result I get plenty of Alert emails or sounds. I find it onerous to go through all repeating events to delete the alert. Hence my question: how to delete all Alerts at once?
    Thanks for any suggestions/pointers/ideas. Cheers, Veit

    Hi John,
    Thanks so much for your help with this problem. I am trying to remove alerts for a couple of specific shared calendars (which I can edit) but am having some difficulty due to my inexperience with applescript! I am also not sure where else to go for help solving this problem.
    My plan is to run your script a couple of times specifying one calendar at a time by name.
    This is the modification I made to your script:
    tell application "Calendar"
      activate
              delay 0.5
              display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process may take some time and is permanent. Are you sure you want to do this?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} cancel button 2
              set calname to "Consultant_on_call"
      --- repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose writable is true)
              repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose name is calname)
                        repeat with myEvent in events of myCalendar
      delete display alarms of myEvent
      delete mail alarms of myEvent
      delete sound alarms of myEvent
      delete open file alarms of myEvent
                        end repeat
              end repeat
              display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process is complete." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
    end tell
    Are you able to tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks again.

  • Set up mail app but it is sending ALL events from iCal to gmail with an error...

    Previously, I had set up iCal to sync with gmail so I could have my calendar on my droid phone.  Today I tried to set up the mail app to sync with my yahoo mail account.  It works, and I can see my inbox, but for some reason when I open mail it attempts to send all of the events in iCal as alarms to Gmail.  It opens hundreds of windows and slows down my computer. Each message has an error about not having an outgoing mail server selected.  I've tried to delete my gmail from iCal to un- sync everything, but everytime I open mail it starts a domino effect of iCal alarm outgoing message windows. I can individually choose Yahoo! as the outgoing server, but it is incredibly slow and there are hundreds of them to go through...what do I do?

    Have you checked the event log to see if there are any errors during the connector processing? The events will be logged in Application and Services Logs\Operations Manager. Look for any error messages during the time the connector was syncing. Most events
    dealing with the ConfigMgr connector have a source of "Data Connectors" or "Lfx Service", but I would suggest looking through all of them from that time period. Let us know if you find anything there.

  • How can i export events from ical to word

    I need to use the description of many events from Ical in a text using Word for Mac.
    How can I do it?

    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?

  • How to delete all calendars from icloud?

    So I decided it was finally time to try out iCloud, and immediately regretted this decision when my iCal, Safari bookmarks and Address Book all got messed up in different ways. I've managed to fix all these issues (by signing out of iCloud on all my devices and restoring my bookmarks and address book from backups) and I've deleted all old backups from iCloud so it's now showing 5GB of 5GB as free. And yet, when I went to icloud.com I could still see the calendars and contacts that were there before. I've deleted all the contacts, and all the calendars but one, but when I got to the last calendar and tried to delete it I got the following message : "you need to have at least one calendar that you own. To delete this calendar, create a new one."
    The best part is, even if I create a new calendar there I still get that message when I try to delete the other one. Is it too much to want to simply delete everything off my iCloud? This entire process has been beyond frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Look like you have duplicate calendars. Find the name of the calendar on your iPhone and the color of the event labels. Then look at your computer. Find the one with the different label/name/color. You can delete that calendar.

  • How to get all events from calendar using calcalendar store framework.

    Hello,
    I have two problems with calcalendar store framework programming.
    1. I need all the event which are present in iCal calendar.Event may be present in year 2025 or 2050. and if the event is recurring then i need only one event.
    2. if the event is recurring then i need only one event within the calendar event predicates (start date and end date). I am not suppose to give the occurrence date for event.
    How can I implement this with CalCalendar store framework.
    Thanks And Regards,
    xmax.

    Hi,
    Per my knowledge, there is not a method to get all the recurring events using CAML query in one request.
    Here is a thread with the similar question for your reference:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/eed6be6d-c9ff-4d01-80de-8a4b67d3d7a5/use-caml-to-get-all-recurring-events-from-a-calendar
    We can get all the calendar list events at first, then filter all the recurring event from the result set.

  • How to delete duplicate events in iCal

    Somewhere along the line of upgrading, syncing, etc. with MobileMe we had, no joke, thousands of the same events duplicated.  We started out trying to shift-click to delete multiple events at a time, but since it is syncing with MobileMe everytime this is done, it was taking forever.  So, I went to View menu, Show Search Results. Then, did a search in the top right corner of iCal.  All the duplicates appeared in the Search Results screen at the bottom of the pane.  Then, within that pane, you can shift click and delete all/multiple events more easily - way more easily.  Hope it helps someone. 

    Thats a good tip Reggie.
    For anyone else reading this post, keep in mind that if you see "duplicates" with the MobileMe calendar it may mean you are seeing two separate copies of the same calendar.  Before spending time deleting individual events read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505

  • 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!

  • How to delete multiple events in Ical that are already passed?

    I've downloaded a fixtures calendar for a football season. (It's not a subscription, it's a calendar file). i've set preferences to delete events 1 day after they finish but old entries are still showing - as far back as 6 months. Is there a way to do a smart search or master delete that can delete all 'Done' events in a calendar? There are too many to keep selecting and deleting individually.
    Thanks!

  • Got a new iphone , how to delete all contacts from old iphone

    I got new iphone 3gs and now I want to delete all the contacts and photos from my old iphone 3g. Any ideas?

    Two choices: 1. Plug your 3G in, iTunes running, hit the restore button. Restore the phone as a new device. Eject when finished, do not sync. 2. Plug the phone into a wall outlet(can take several hours), then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.

  • How do delete all email from a mail box?

    On both iPad 2 and iPhone 4G there are mail boxes that accumulate a mass of mail. I must delete messages individually! Is there a way to delete all mail simultaneously?

    This is a better and much easier way to delete multiple emails in inbox
    1. Go to your inbox
    2. Press Edit
    3. Tap any message once to select it
    4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
    5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
    6. Release the Move button
    7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

  • How to delete all books from the iTunes library which no longer exist on my iPod?

    I was looking through my iTunes libraries today, and I realised that my "books" library was absolutely chock full of old books that I had previously downloaded and deleted years ago, as well as all the books I still currently own/use.
    How can I delete (within iTunes) all of the books that are no longer on my iPod, without going through them all one by one?
    I know for apps you can just delete them all in iTunes and then choose "import purchases" to perfectly replicate apps between the iPod and iTunes, but I don't think you can do that with books.

    After cleaning the library you can connect the device and use the transfer purchases option to copy over those still on the iPod.
    I should add that it is probably a good idea to use Edit > Preferences > Devices and tick Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
