How to delete iCal Completely

Hi
I asked this a few weeks ago and got a few suggestions that were not useful so I'll repost the question
iCal has begun losing entries within minutes of entering them and quitting the program. I created a new user and entered events and it seemed to work fine. The only suggestion I don't want to hear is:
delete all entries> delete program files AND reenter the thousands of events manually that I have entered since iCal came out in 10.1.
This is my business appointments and I have to keep these as a record.
The setup is a G5 dual 2ghz.
Has anyone had a recurring problem of the database getting corrupted?
Thanks
Enio

Enio,
Up to 10.5.7
How many of those computers are you syncing with MobileMe?
I hesitate to offer this suggestion, especially if you are trying to sync multiple computers with multiple operating systems. I am hesitant since MobileMe Chat was apparently unable to solve your problem, and I simply offer it as food for thought.
Before you do anything else be sure to identify/designate one of your computers as the "Master" computer. To me that means determining which computer has the most current up-to-date information. Protect the information on that computer by having a sufficient backup of your synced data. I will take it for granted that you know how to do that. Make sure that you use (at a minimum) iCal>File>Back up iCal...
After you have backed up, create a new calendar, and name the calendar "Test" for example. Then delete all of the other calendars that exist in the "Calendars" sources pane.
Quit iCal, and remove the com.apple.ical.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder. Also remove the Calendar Cache file from the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder.
Turn off MobileMe sync.
Then log out/in or restart, and the only calendar remaining should be the blank "Test" calendar.
Next, use MobileMe: How to reset sync data to reset your sync data to "zero" out the information on MobileMe.
When MobileMe has been updated and displays only the "Test" calendar, use iCal>File>Restore iCal... from your backup.
Good Luck.

  • Anyone figured out how to run iCal completely invisible?

    Has anyone figured out how to run iCal completely invisible on Snow Leopard -- not just minimized on the dock, but completely hidden.  The goal is to be able to press Comamnd+Tab and NOT see iCal.

    I too have a KRZR K1M that I received two days ago as a "gift' from Verizon in exchange for renewing my contract for 2 years. I had a RAZR that I had been able to sync with iCal after I edited the metaclass.plist file for that phone. I would then have to delete and re-add the RAZR each time I resynched in order to select the option I wanted from the iSync dialog window. If I "merge[d] data," the calendars on both my mac and my phone would fill quickly with duplicate entries. As for the KRZR, i have tried several times to add and sync this phone to the mac. It worked only once, and I was able to get the mac to write a years worth of events into the phone, but no matter what i do, i have not been able to repeat the process for my ical events. I use the VZW backup assistant for my contacts, just to be safe. I would like very much for Verizon and Apple to get together on the iSync issue. Verizon tech support told me only moments ago that the only phone they offer that will sunc with iCal is either a Treo or a Blackberry. And they aren't handing out either of them for free any time soon.

    It might be kind of freaky, but the Drop Box folder in: user/public/Drop Box, how to delete it completely?, every time that i delete that folder and restart the system, it always appears, i just can't delete it!, why?. Absolutely, that i have already uninstalled the app with "appdelete".

    The Drop Box folder in ~/Public is not part of the Dropbox application. It is in fact part of Mac OS X so you shouldn't need to delete it.

  • How to delete the complete status of the tasklist one time?

    When finished the planning cycle, all task lists which have been marked as completed must be reset to incomplete. Is there any way to do that in one time? I did that job by hand now which took me so much time.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You do this through deleting some records from backend tables. Absolutely harmless if you know what you are doing. Check out below post:

  • How to delete iCal sync in .Mac

    I want to delete my iCal info (from my syncs) in .Mac. I created a mess and I want to start over. Problem is when I sync I retrieve the messy info saved on my .mac???
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    fredericlang,
    Follow the procedures list in...How to reset .Mac Sync: If your .Mac Sync begins to behave oddly, resetting the sync is a good troubleshooting step. It's essentially a "do-over," in case the computer got confused.
    If you are going to reset the sync data, make sure to reset it from the computer that has the most up-to-date information on it. If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible. Here's how to reset .Mac Sync....;~)

  • How to delete app completely from my Q10?

    Hi!
    My bridge connection suddenly did not allow me to transfer files anymore so I decided to reinstall the BlackBerry Bridge App on my Q10. Here is what I did:
    I deleted the app from my homescreen. I waited a little bit, went to BlackBerry World on my Q10 in order to re-install it. I searched for it in BBWorld but I could only click on "open". When I did that nothing happened. So I decided to go to "My World" in BB World and long-press on the icon there to either erase it completely or just de-install it. All I get is an error box saying "Error deinstalling BlackBerry Bridge". So I restarted the phone. Same problem. So I tried the deep reset or whatever it is called where you have to press the button on top of the Q10 for more than 30 seconds. I pressed it for more than one minute but all I received was a red LED and no reboot. So next thing I figured, install chrome on my pc to use that playbook/BB10 plugin and deinstall or force-install bridge from there. No chance, it does not show up in the list of apps installed. There are some processes I cannot deinstall that have "bridge" in them. I terminated them all, but to no avail.
    Can anybody help me please? How can I completely delete an app if it is still shown in BlackBerry World as being installed?
    -pac
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Solution:
    1. Go to BlackBery World.
    2. Swipe down from the top and tap on Settings.
    3. Tap on the first list item, something like "General settings" (in my German version: "Allgemein").
    4. Tap on the button at the bottom "Update BlackBerry World".
    This solved the problem for me.

  • How to delete ical alarms

    I wish to delete several alarms that have been setup. Can this be done? If so, how?

  • How to delete software completely

    After several years of error-free use, I recently had to Force Quit out of a small, cheap program.  Ever since, it will not launch; I am told that it "quit unexpectedly."  After rebooting several times and starting up in "safe mode," I decided to delete the program (by dragging its icon to the trash) and re-install it.  So, I downloaded it from scratch and installed it.  Still, nothing.  It continues to crash.  Thus, my assumption is that there is a "hidden file" somewhere that was corrupted by the "Force Quit" and it needs to be deleted before I can re-install from scratch.  I also assume that I'm probablt completely wrong!  Help!  I want to resume using this tiny program and my MacBook Pro won't let me!  Help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • 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.
