How to Delete Recurring Events

Hi guys, how does one delete all instances of a recurring event from ical?

acook59,
Find the first time that the event was entered by using the search field, and delete it from that date. You will be prompted to "Delete All Future Events."

  • Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air

    I Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air.
    I have an event scheduled for Wednesday each week, I delete it at end of day. If i delete it on my Macbook Air it deletes fine on my iMac just fine. But if i delete it on my iMac first it stays on my Macbook Air...
    I check the preferences and both computers are configured the same way..
    It use to work before i upgraded both computers to Yosemite...

    Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
    But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.

  • How to delete an event handler?

    Hi
    how to delete an event handler?
    Thanx in aadvance,
    viswa

    Hi,
    You can delete the event handler by going to the impl class and deleting the method from there.
    Also do not forget to delete it from the DO_HANDLE_EVENT method of the super class of impl class.
    It is not always safe to delete the event handler but the above approach works fine.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Google Cal won't let me delete recurring events in iCal on a certain Mac?

    My company uses a Google public calendar for everyone in the company to schedule events and see what's going on. My new Macbook Pro can edit that calendar freely as does my Macbook. However if I'm on my iMac, I get this bizarre error when deleting recurring events. What in the world does this mean?
    "HTTP/1.1 409 Can only store an event with a newer DHSTAMP"
    I looked up the error in Google's Cal Help, which was useless unless you are a physicist or programmer working for them. Made not one bit of sense to me.
    What can I do? It's making me crazy!!!!

  • Cellphone calendar won't delete recurring events

    I have an LG Cosmos 2, and lately it won't let me delete calendar events that are recurring events. When I try to, a message appears that says "can't insert this exception" when I choose "just this event". It has only started doing this recently, and I'm doing nothing different. What's causing this?

        Thank you for the information, tthompson515!
    Are you able to delete normal events that are not recurring? If this issue persists, we may need to backup the phone and complete a factory reset. Here is how: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/31087/
    Contacts can be backed up with Backup Assistant.

  • Cannot delete recurring events in calendar

    All of a sudden, with the (TERRIBLE) changes of iOS 7, recurring events will not delete or be changed. Each time I try to delete or even change an event, it walks through the correct process tellingme that it is a recurring event and asking if I want to delete just this one or all future events. I say all future. All's good. It goes away. then 5 seconds later it shows up again!  Same thin when I try to edit or move an event. I have tried on all my devices  to delete the same event -- it always returns!
    I am running iMac intel with OS X 10.9
    iPhone & iPad iOS 7
    and I am at a loss as how to do it differently.
    I found on earlier sites to put " sudo chmod -a# 0 ~/Library/Preferences/ into terminal -- but Termal came back with "
    chmod: No ACL present '
    Any thoughts?  Anyone else having this problem?

    Is this a synced calendar or just on the phone?
    For a synced calendar, you will need to go to the Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendar and remove it from there.
    For a calendar on the device, open the calendar app > Calendars > Seelct the calendar(s) in question (tap on the blue arrow to the right) > scroll down and tap Delete Calendar.

  • Deleted recurring events still show up on iPad/iPhone/Macbook Calendars

    Trying to view several calendars for the purpose of project management.  Here is the problem step by step:
    1) If I am UserA and have  my calendar set up as Exchange or CalDav with FULL rights, I can add, delete or edit all events as needed.  I can add recurring events and DELETE one or more occurrences of the recurring event and have THAT show up correctly on my iPad.
    2) If UserB sets up his calendar and gives me read access, I can SUBSCRIBE to his calendar using normal "other / caldav" subscription settings and view it properly.  No problem.
    3) If UserB sets up a recurring event (lunch meeting at noon every Monday), that shows up properly on my iPad.  No problem.
    4) If UserB is going to be out of town or decides to cancel his lunch meeting for some other reason, he can on his own machine (Outlook, Mac Calendar, iPad with Exchange full account) delete that event.  No problem for HIM.
    5) On MY iPad, the subscribe calendar never shows anything different.  The same recurring events continue to display even if UserB has delete one OCCURRENCE of the event.  This IS a problem.  My view of his calendar is now incorrect.  Yeah, yeah, one meeting one day is not a problem.  But multiply that by several users, multiple deletions of recurring events, and suddenly the whole shooting match is out of whack.
    6) I can refresh the calendar to my heart's content, but nothing changes.
    7) Here's the kicker:  I can DELETE the subscribed calendar and RESUBSCRIBE to it.  This forces a completely fresh download to my iPad.  Doesn't change a thing.  The same recurring events still override ANY deletions that the user made to individual instances of the events.
    In looking at the raw ICS file which I can download via a web browser, an entry might look like this:
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    TRANSP:OPAQUE
    X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY

    EXDATE:20130218T223000Z
    EXDATE:20130225T223000Z
    END:VEVENT
    You can easily see that the EXDATE shows a deletion for 2013-02-25 as well as other dates.  Doesn't matter.  They STILL show up on the iPad and in the Mac OSX Calendar.
    I consider this a bug.  I hope an Apple employee sees and responds to this.  I would welcome any thoughts, workarounds or suggestions that could help with this.
    Yes, I can tell users to only put INDIVIDUAL events on their calendar.  But, let's face it.  It's easier to put a recurring event and delete one or two instead of putting 50 recurring events for the whole year.
    And, of course, Outlook displays things properly as do similar CalDav clients.

    Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2).  Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
    Clearly a bug.

  • Outlook connector shows some deleted recurring events

    We discovered an oddity that appears to be with the way Outlook shows a recurring event (seems to be an interpretation problem while reading and partially while writing). I'm using the connector from 139162-03 in either Outlook 2003 or 2007 set to sync calendar events every 1 minute and SCS6u2 on the backend with patches from around 2 months ago.
    Simplest way to reproduce:
    - On either a Sun web interface or in Outlook, create an event that recurs daily for 2 instances (or any equivalent way of making it recur twice, such as by setting the end date)
    - If you delete the second instance from the Web, Outlook will display it fine (given ample time to sync up completely).
    - If you delete the second instance from Outlook, the Web will display it fine, but the second instance will reappear in Outlook
    - Considering the previous two lead to a difference while the result on the web looks the same, there is probably a difference in the ICS for those events on the server but I have not checked.
    - Similar things hold true for deleting certain days of the even when recurring more than 2 times.
    - If only the original recurrence is modified, the deleted recurrence re-appears in Outlook with similarities to the original event, not the one that was deleted.
    - I'm not 100% sure on most of the behavior description since I may have been confused by changes that have not completely propagated through yet, but one thing I am sure of is a 2 day recurring event will have the second instance show back up pretty soon if the second instance is deleted in Outlook.
    Initially I'm wondering if anyone else can reproduce this. We will most likely take it up with Sun's support soon but I thought I would try here first. Thanks.

    I was able to find two recently created bugs which I assume are related to problem behaviour:
    bug #6874243 - "deleted instances of a recurring series are still visible in OC"
    bug #6883111 - "Moving an instance of a recurring event with attendees actually moves the first instance"

  • ICal hanging when trying to edit/delete recurring event

    I have a calendar entry in iCal that recurs every week through the end of the year. I know this particular entry is causing issues in iCal so I have tried deleting it and/or editing it, and every time I do, it hangs iCal. Any thoughts/ideas? I do sync to a Palm using MissingSync but this calendar entry does not show up on my Palm so I can't delete it there. Any ideas? I would just like to delete the entry.

    Wow, just found the answer - YzGy posted this link <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7449164&#7449164> and I did as instructed and I'm back up and running. For some reason, this recurring event was on my calendar 12,300 times.

  • 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 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!

  • 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 orphaned events in Calendar?

    OK, so I'm pulling my hair out on this one: I discovered today that my wife's birthday anniversary event got duplicated 3369 times in my iPad calendar...
    I'm grateful for the reminder, but 3369 times is a bit too much.
    Ruling out my wife's unlikely hacking of my calendar, the culprit is probably an automatic sync with my Google calendar gone awry. Lesson learned, don't sync with Google calendar, fine, but these events cause the loading of the calendar to be super slow and I don't want to imagine what's going to happen in 10 days when the reminders for these events are going to be shown...
    So how to I remove these events from my Calendar?
    Going through them one by one is not an option, and anyhow, I have tried to delete one, it won't go away.
    Delete the calendar they belong to? Great idea, except they don't belong to any calendar, despite what Calendar tells me in the detail of one event. Which is probably the reason why I can't delete them manually in the first place. I have verified this by writing a small app that finds those event in the calendar: the calendar property of the EKEvent is nil.
    I have tried to delete them in my app ([store removeEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&error]), I get this error:
    Failed to remove: Error Domain=EKErrorDomain Code=1 "No calendar has been set."
    (Note that I did call [store requestAccessToEntityType: completion:] to authorize my app to modify the calendar).
    I figured it had something to do with the event not being in a calendar, so I have tried to assign them to a calendar in my app, it doesn't work, they remain orphaned.
    I have disabled sync with Google and iCloud.
    I have tried to delete my iCloud account on the iPad: I get an endless spinning wheel that forces me to kill the Calendar app.
    The only thing I haven't tried yet is restoring my device, but then, what if the backup contains those events?
    An idea? Anybody?
    Thanks

    goto calendar> look for the event you entered> edit event (upper rt corner)> scroll down> Delete event

  • How to delete an event, but not the photos

    hello. i imported a few photos from my iphone 4 to iphoto and it created an event. i dragged and dropped those photos to a specific album on iphoto which is the only place i want them. i then deleted the newly created event but the photos disappeared from that album i put them in as as well. how can i prevent this from happening? thanks.

    You can not, of course, do that
    Events is one view of the photos in your library. Photos is another
    Albums are pointers to photos in your library. You can remove photos from albums without removing the photo but you can not remove the photo without removing it. Removing a photo obviously removes it from all views
