How to delete events in iCal on Mac, but not from iPhone

Hi everyone,
I have a reminder set to my phone for something everyday which is great because it's the first thing I look at in the morning. But I don't want this event plastered all over my iCal on my computer as it's unnecessary to see it there. But of course, since I sync my iPhone with this computer, it always ends up there too.
Is there a way to sync only certain events, but not all of them? Sometimes I want to do the opposite, where I need to see a reminder on my computer for work, but don't need it popping up on my phone.
Thanks for any help you can give!

  • Older Events in iCal on Mac but not in Mobile Devices

    iCal on my Mac has appointments dating back to 2006, while iCal in the cloud and on my iPad and iPhone has appointments only as far back as last year 2011. iCloud is working fine, i.e., everything synchs up quickly and easily as it's supposed to.  I'd just like to get the additional five years worth of data on to my mobile devices. How do I do that without screwing everything up?? Thanks in advance!

    Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
    Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.

  • HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

  • Delete Apps from MacBook but not from iPhone

    How can I delete Apps from iTunes but not from iPhone 3GS when I Sync them? The moment I delete the Apps from iTunes and then sync iPhone, iPhone deletes them as well.
    Please assist.

    If you intend to ever sync your phone with your Macbook then you can't delete the app from your Macbook, otherwise the apps will also delete from your iPhone (as you've discovered).

  • Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

    I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
    I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
    How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

    I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
    So problem solved.

  • ICloud works on my Mac but not my iPhone 4

    I Reset my iCloud password on my Mac book and iPhone 4. After resetting the password twice, iCloud
    works on my Mac book, but not my iPhone. What should I do?

    What I meant was is there an Apple ID (not yours) in there.
    Did you try Settings > iCloud > scroll to the bottom and tap the red Sign Out?

  • How to delete events on iCal that were created many years ago with a MobileMe account?

    I have never ending recurring events on iCal that I created years and years ago with my MobileMe account.  I don't have access to that email anymore, unfortunately.  Is there any way to get rid of these silly things?

    Navi,
    What Calendars are listed in your sources pane?
    Where are they located?
    Are you using iCloud?
    Backup that specific calendar using Calendar>File>Export>Export..., and save the copy to your Desktop.
    What happens if you attempt to delete that specific calendar?

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?
    "Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

  • Can ping from Windows to Mac but not from Mac to Windows

    Hi all!
    New owner of a Mac Mini. Know nothing about it, so NewBie Alert!
    Windows PC with two NIC's. One connected to the internet, one connected to the Mac by using a crossover cable. Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows PC and the Mac can go out to the internet so there is connectivity between the Mac and the Windows PC.
    The problem: I cannot ping the Windows PC from the Mac. I can ping the Mac from the Windows PC, so my suspicion is that it has something to do with a firewall on the Mac, but as far as i know the firewall on the Mac is switched off. On the Windows PC the firewall is definitely switched off.
    Who can help me getting this working?
    Thanks,
    Ton.

    There can be multiple problems here:
    - no ping service provided on the Windows PC
    - ping traffic blocked by a firewall at either end
    - pinging the wrong host: You have two NICs in your Windows PC, with two IP addresses, and two host names. Only one of the two will be visible from the Mac. Use "ipconfig" at a command prompt to get the two IP addresses, or look at the Properties of your Network connections.
    - Name resolution problem: Try using the IP address with the ping command, not a host name.
    Ping from the Windows PC to the MAC, and observe the reported IP address. Make sure the IP address you use to ping from the Mac is in the same subnet, i.e. the first three numbers must be the same, like
    192.168.1.100 vs. 192.168.1.101
    What is the result of the ping operation, i.e. "host not reachable", "unknown host", or "no response".

  • How to delete mail from mac but NOT from gmail server?

    Hi I have around 6GB of space used up by the mail app. I never really use it anymore though, favouring the gmail website. I can't work out how to clear out the mail app and free up that space, without also deleting the emails from the gmail server. Can anybody help?
    Thanks

    Hello Jhughes1986,
    If you are not using the mail account in the Mail app, then remove it from Mail. When in Mail, go to the drop down menu Mail > Preferences, select the Account tab, select your Gmail account and then hit the Minus ( - ) button towards the bottom to remove the account.
