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!

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 do you view on iPhone events from iCal that are six months out?

    I am trying to synch my iCal with an iPhone. When I synch the calendar it will only show events for the next few weeks. How do I get my iPhone calendar to show events from iCal that are six or eight months out?
    Thanks

    Corey,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What calendars have you chosen to sync in iTunes>Info>Calendars?
    What happens in iTunes if you select your iPhone under "Devices," then choose Info>Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone>: and check "Calendars"/"Sync?"

  • How to delete the messages from SXMB_MONI which are already cancelled .

    Hi All,
    The messages were earlier in System error(Red flag) state so i cancelled it manually.

    if not possible , then i want to see them in earlier state i.e.., in System error(Red flag).
    can any tell me the procedure of doing it.
    thanks
    Sai.

    Hi AmitSri,
    Thanks for u r reply,
    What is retention period, where can i find this option.
    And i don't have authorizations to sxmb_adm --> configure delete procedure
                                                                             --> Define interfaces for archiving and retention period.
    and to RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES in se38 , i don't have authorizations to run
    Is there any way to delete the messages or make them to System error( Red flag) which are manually cancelled.
    Thanks
    Sai.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hi Ed,
    I tried executing this manually and it's not deleting the snapshots at all.
    begin
    statspack.purge(trunc(sysdate-90),true);
    end;
    I even let it for an entire day and then altered the code like this...But when I execute it, it doesn't deleted the data..
    begin
    statspack.purge(trunc(sysdate-1),true);
    end;
    When I do a select sysdate -1 from dual; it gives the correct date?
    Could there be a "NLS Setting" some where causing this?
    How do you determine that it is not deleteding data?  (please show evidence)
    How, and how often, are you collecting a statspack snapshot?  (please show evidence)

  • WHY does Firefox repeatedly open multiple copies of tabs that are already open??? Yesterday I cleared the history, removed the program & reinstalled. Didn't help. Some tabs are ones I had months ago but don't need now. They keep appearing. HELP, please!

    The problem started several months ago, after I downloaded a new version of the program. Two updates ago, I think. The repeat tabs open multiple times during the day. Sometimes they appear hours after I've closed them--sometimes just minutes later.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • On my new ipad air, my photostream turned itself on, but i didnt want to have my photos go to my photostream, is there any way i could turn off the photostream without having to delete all of the photos that are already on the ipad?

    HELP!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you turn off photo stream it will only remove the photo stream album, it won't remove photos from your camera roll.

  • In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

    I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto.  I thought Apple was the company that made things easier???  This is a nightmare.
    The way it should work:
    - Launch iPhoto
    - Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
    - Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
    - Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
    Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
    Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
    By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • 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?
