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?

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!

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.

How to annotate events in iCal?

Hi all,
I tried to search for this, but I couldn't find anything. How can I annotate events in iCal? For example, for a hotel reservation, I'd like to put in the address, the reservation number, etc. Is there a place to do this?
Thank you!

Whoops! Aha, I see. It's in the "note" field, isn't it?

Bugs with Lion! Cannot delete events in iCal and other stuff...

First, sorry for my English, I speak French...
I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and on my girlfriend's MacBook Pro and I have the same problems on each computer! Help please!
I try to delete an event on iCal and it always comes back!! I cannot delete it and I cannot delete an entire calendar too! It disappears and 10 seconds later, it's back!
I also removed an icon from the Dock but when I restart the computer, it is back in the dock!
I have also some issues with the file sharing between my Macs. Usually, I entered the username and password of the Mac and it was possible to access everything from another Mac. But now it doesn't work! I think that I must create a new user account for file sharing...
What should I do??
Thanks!!!

I have the same issues with items "re-appearing" in the dock after reboot or waking from sleep. I went into recovery mode, wiped my hard drive, and cleanly reinstalled lion to no avail. I had other issues that cleared up, but my dock is full of apps I never use...so I can only conclude its a bug.

HOW TO DELETE EVENTS FROM CALENDARS

I use my iPod rarely and only for music. I want to delete events, (birthdays, meetings etc.), from my iPod that were synced from my Outlook calendar. The iPod is a 2009 model MB598ll version 1.0.4 PC. How can I delete these events from the iPod. Also, how do I avoid future syncing to my Outlook calendar?
Thanks

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 delete events from iPhone/iCal

How can I delete old/no longer happening recurring events--or any events--from my iPhone?

If you see the "+" button then you have not clicked on the event you want to delete. When you do you will see another screen that looks like the one below.

How to delete event from iCloud

How do you delete an event from iCloud on iOS devices? I have an appointment (sent from outside) that I accepted into iCal and now want to delete (or decline) the event. I can delete it on my Mac but not on iOS devices (iPad 2 & iPhone 3Gs both using latest software). If I try to delete the event on iCloud from the web I get an error that says "This event could not be deleted due to a server error. Please try again"

Error deleting events in iCal using applescript

Hi,
I made a little applescript to insert and remove a roster in iCal for me and my collegues.
While the script to remove a roster works fine on my computer, others are getting an error:
see Link: [http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo31/Bronco_Dappe/Allerlei/Afbeelding1.png]
[the error contains some strange characters but in general it says:
"can not get class ... of event id ... of calendar id ..."]
My applescript to delete the roster is:
on run {CalendarName, Start, Eind, Prefix}
-- Start and Eind format:
-- int(day) int(month) int(year) int(hour) int(minutes)
-- ===============================
on run
set CalendarName to "MP"
set Start to "15 10 2009 00 00"
set Eind to "17 10 2009 23 59"
set Prefix to "MP:"
-- Version 3.0
-- ========
-- Changed format of Start & Eind to be compatible with Snow Leopard
-- convert DateStart
set wordsplit to (words in Start)
set DateStart to (current date)
set year of DateStart to (item 3 of wordsplit)
set time of DateStart to 0 -- reset time
set day of DateStart to 1 -- prevent february 31
set month of DateStart to (item 2 of wordsplit)
set day of DateStart to (item 1 of wordsplit)
set DateStart to DateStart + ((item 4 of wordsplit) * hours + (item 5 of wordsplit) * minutes) -- set time
-- convert DateEind
set wordsplit to (words in Eind)
set DateEind to (current date)
set year of DateEind to (item 3 of wordsplit)
set time of DateEind to 0
set day of DateEind to 1
set month of DateEind to (item 2 of wordsplit)
set day of DateEind to (item 1 of wordsplit)
set DateEind to DateEind + ((item 4 of wordsplit) * hours + (item 5 of wordsplit) * minutes)
tell application "iCal"
set TargetCalendar to first calendar whose title is CalendarName
set list2bDeleted to {}
set list2bDeletedSum to {}
set listEvents to every event of TargetCalendar
repeat with singleEvent in listEvents
if summary of singleEvent starts with Prefix then
set eventstart to start date of singleEvent
if eventstart ≥ DateStart and eventstart ≤ DateEind then
if summary of singleEvent starts with Prefix then
copy uid of singleEvent to end of list2bDeleted
copy summary of singleEvent to end of list2bDeletedSum
end if
end if
end if
end repeat
repeat with eventUID in list2bDeleted
delete (every event of TargetCalendar whose uid is eventUID)
end repeat
end tell
return list2bDeletedSum
end run
In general the script works like this:
1. it goes over events in a specified calendar
2. all events to be removed are added to a delete-list by id
3. all events in the delete-list are removed using this id
it seems step 3 creates a problem.
any suggestions here?

Once I got access again to an apple with Leopard I solved the problem.
The applescript was saved in Snow Leopard.
When opened in Leopard 'uid' in 'copy uid of singleEvent to end of list2bDeleted' was changed into '<<class>>' : 'copy <<class>> of singleEvent...'.
Quite strange - but correcting and saving the script in Leopard solved the problem.
Thanks for your help.

How to create events in iCal

I know we can create events (like birthdays, anniversary etc.) from address book and sync it with iCal. What i want to know is how do I create an event (b'day, anniversary etc.) for a person who is not in my address book.

Greetings,
Create the event (just like you would any event) and set the repeat to every year and add it to the calendar of your choice:
Hope that helps.

Hello
The posted event log indicates some inconsistent behaviour of iCal in referencing item 2 of every event. I.e., it could access it first and failed to do so after a new event is created. Scent of bug here. Or possibly inserting ugly small delay after event creation might let the script delete the newly created event...
Anyway, the 'by index' reference form of object must be used very carefully when object can be deleted or added dynamically.
Also I wish to add that it is not recommended to use an object specifier, that returns list of objects, as the base list for repeat statement, such as :
--CODE1
-- # not recommended
repeat with theEvent of (events of calendar "Untitled")
-- omitted
end repeat
--END OF CODE1
Instead, you'd better get the list first and use it, such as :
--CODE2
-- # recommended
repeat with theEvent of (get events of calendar "Untitled")
-- omitted
end repeat
--END OF CODE2
The reason is as follows.
In CODE1, the iterator is assigned as item k of events of calendar "Untitled", where k iterates from 1 to count of events of calendar "Untitled" at the time of loop entrance. The problem is that this list of events is dynamic list which may change when event is deleted or added, and consequently item k as iterator may no longer refer to the item k of the original collection of events.
In CODE2, the iterator is assigned as item k of a static list which is obtained by statement 'get events of calendar "Untitled" at the time of loop entrance. If the event object is returned in 'by ID' reference form (or any form other than that depends upon index in the container), item k as iterator is guaranteed to refer to the item k of the original collection of events whether or not collection changes.
Thus you may try something like this :
--SCRIPT
(* not tested *)
tell application "iCal"
tell calendar "Untitled"
repeat with theEvent in (get its events) -- # get the objects list
set theEvent to theEvent's contents -- # dereference each once
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {space}
set textSummary to text items of summary of theEvent
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""} -- # reset astid
if item 3 of textSummary is "Lab" then
if item 5 of textSummary is "5-6" then
tell theEvent
set prop to {¬
start date:(its start date) - 0.5 * hours, ¬
end date:its end date, ¬
status:its status, ¬
summary:its summary, ¬
allday event:its allday event}
end tell
make new event at end of events with properties prop
delete theEvent
end if
if item 5 of textSummary is "3-4" then
tell theEvent
set prop to {¬
start date:its start date, ¬
end date:(its end date) + 0.5 * hours, ¬
status:its status, ¬
summary:its summary, ¬
allday event:its allday event}
end tell
make new event at end of events with properties prop
delete theEvent
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT
Hope this may help,

Cannot delete event in ical

I have repeated events that have gone wild in my ical. The events show up doubled on the wrong dates and I cannot click on them to delete or edit them…any virus I should know of? I am still on Leopard and have not dared messing with icloud yet either.

Is your ical connected with any other calendars like Google's?
