I can't delete calendars from iCal, they re-appear in a few moments. Also I can't add new entries. I have a backup on another Mac which is working properly.

For the last 2 weeks iCal has not let me update or delete calendars. It continues to remind me about events in the past (about 10 days ago).
Also, Safari is not recording history, apart from today the last entry is 2 weeks ago.
Time and date is working OK.
All software is up-to-date.

My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

Delete calendar from ical

How do I delte a calendar from iCal.
I right click on it and the delete function is not an option.

When that calendar you want to delete is selected, you should be able to do so from the Edit menu.
Good luck

Every time I try to delete calendars from iCloud, they keep coming back because they're on my other devices (iPod, MacBook Pro). How can I get around this?

I've tried deleting them like I'm told to, but nothing seems to work.

Can't delete calendar in ical

I have a lion server running with ical (among other services). Migrating to lion got me the remeinders in the calendar directly and the reminders lists were the same as my calendars. That does make sense for some categories like Home or Work but I have a few more calendars e.g. for public holidays that are not really suitable for reminders.
Strange enough those seem to be containers for both reminders and events but when I delete one of them and recreate it for either of them it is limited to that application. So now I want to delete my public holidays calendar (and reminder list) and recreate it as calendar. Deleting some of the others worked but for this one I always get the error 403: CalDAVRemoveCalendarQueueableOperation. Also tried to log on to my web calendar and delete the list. It just hang.
Any ideas why that happens?

The entries you are now seeing are held in a special Birthdays calendar that has been implemented in iOS4.
The Calendar gets its information from your Contacts on the iPhone.
It can be switched off by deselecting it in the Calendars page (top left button in the Calendars app)
The Mac also has a similar Birthdays Calendar that gets its info from the Apple Address Book and can be switched on/off as required (Find it under "Subscriptions" in the left hand pane of iCal, or in Preferences, General, Show Birthday Calendar)

I can't delete movies from my netflix queue while using Firefox v9.0.1 but can with other browsers.

Using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit; Firefox v9.0.1; website affected Netflix
I can't effect complete deletion of movies from my netflix.com streaming queue while using Firefox (v9.0.1). I contacted Netflix by phone and we checked my browser settings, ensuring they were where they needed to be. They suggested trying to effect the same using other browsers and I had no problem with Chrome allowing me to make a complete and effective deletion. My plugins are all up-to-date and any incompatible ones have been disabled. My problem has been an ongoing thing for months and I wanted to let Mozilla know it exists. If anyone else has been having this problem, please notify Mozilla so they realize it's not just an isolated incident and (hopefully) will look into finding the problem and fixing it.

Addendum: The .jpg file, below, shows the netflix popup I get when trying to delete a video.

Can't delete calendars or events from iCal

I'm trying to delete Calendars from iCal, but after I delete them, they reappear. I've tried deleting the calendars and calendar cache from the user library, but to no avail. In addition, when I try to change or delete an event, it ends up duplicating the event so that there is multiple copies of the same event on the same day. I've tried to find someone else who has had this problem, but came up empty. Any suggestions? Can I get rid of iCal and reinstall it somehow?
P.S. there are multiple users on this computer, but only one of them uses iCal.

Good question.
You do not have to remove the entire directory. However, there are other caches besides the com.apple.ical directory that may be present that can impact iCal's performance. These directories are often created by non-Apple programs involved in syncing (Entourage, Pocket Mac, Blackberry software, Palm Desktop software, etc.)
The question is, which caches might be there for each unique computer setup and are they doing something to iCal? That takes a great deal of work which few people are willing to do (not to mention you have to know which folders are the culprits)
Cache files are re-generated once the program that uses them is launched. I have never personally encountered a program that stored any vital data in the cache. Caches are (in general) used to improve program performance of an application during use, not to store data.
For users that are concerned about their caches, removing ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal/ is certainly an acceptable alternative (if not all encompassing).

ISync deleted a calendar from iCal

I'm very new to the Mac world. My PC died at Thanksgiving and I'm still getting used to my new iMac. I am using iSync to sync between my new iMac and my very old Handspring Visor Prism. Things are going remarkably well except now that I have moved all my (11 years worth) calendar appts/events to the iMac, I'd like to stop storing and syncing them to the Visor, since I'm worried that it will fail if it gets too full.
My bright idea was to create a separate calendar with all events from 97-08 and then use the "home" calendar from 2009 going forward. So on my next sync, I only checked "Home" to sync so that there would be less on my Visor. Doing this, iSync successfully synchronized the Home calendar (w/my newer events), but deleted my "old" calendar from iCal. I don't understand why that happened. I thought unselecting a calendar in iSync would do the same thing as the "Do Nothing" option in HotSync (literally, don't sync, but also, don't delete!).
Is there any way to keep some events in an iCal calendar but not on your handheld device?
Thanks,
Tracy

The deletion of your unchecked iCal calendar would or should have only occurred if you first deleted the the matching calendar on your Palm device prior to the next synchronization event, and did not opt to reset the framework as described below. The appropriate 'reaction' of the Sync Services framework on your machine is to delete matching calendar event and task information in your truth database, and distribution those deletion changes to all other synchronized applications, devices and servers.
If you had simply unchecked the calendar in your drop-down iSync device configuration pane then reset the framework using the option in the iSync Preferences… dialog to do so and subsequently overwritten the contents of your Palm device—as opposed to merging data with it—your calendar would have remained in iCal but matching data would have been removed from the Palm device.
Whenever you seek to make a substantial change such as you did, you should back up your iCal and Address Book records using the built-in options in each application to do so, BEFORE you next execute a synchronization event. In that way, it's easy to 'recover' data when an unexpected result occurs.

Can't delete email from appointment calendar from blackberry 8310?

I currently have a blackberry 8310 with at&t. I deleted an email that i don't use anymore, but it's still showing up in my appointment calendar, how do i get rid of this?

I was hoping that it would be a temporary issue but it is still continuing 24 hours later. I'm fairly certain that it is not an issue with the Mail client because I can delete email from my other accounts; still can't delete email from my .Mac account. I continue to receive the error message in my original post.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks m.bode for responding to my question.

A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder. Can I delete them from finder? They are taking up a lot of room.

A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder. Can I delete them from finder? They are taking up a lot of room.

Just make certain that the "Originals" or "Masters" are in your iPhoto Library before you trash the images.
You can find out by selecting the iPhoto Library file with the control key held down, then open the Library (which is, actually, a folder). You'll see a folder named "Originals" or "Masters" and you can check there to make certain that you have all of the high-res images in your iPhoto Library. If you do, you can safely trash the original files, although I would, if it were me, make an archive of the images before trashing (either on an external HD or on archival DVDs).
Make sense?

How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
Best regards PelleRPG.

How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical

Look at some of the lunar events, and see what keywords they are using - eg moon or phase. Use one of those keywords in the search box. Find the earliast occurence in the list and delete it. This may take out all subsequent occurences, or you may have to delete them individually.

Remove Exchange Calendar from iCal

I have an Exchange Calendar in iCal (Mountain Lion) that I want to remove. How can I do this? If I select it and choose Edit the Delete option is greyed out. The account is not listed in Preferences > Advanced either.
I want to delete it because every time I receive an invitiation in Outlook for Mac, the invite is being placed in the iCal calendar, but does not appear in my Outlook calendar.

I think I discovered where iCal/Calendar is getting the Exchange calendar data from. Initially I wondered whether the iPad/iPhone were doing something odd, but no, the Exchange mail account was set to sync Contacts and Calendar on both, via Active Sync.
I then plugged both devices into the Macbook and opened iTunes and checked the Info tab - "Sync Calendars" was not ticked.
I then discovered that in Mountain Lion a change was made to the Mac System Preferences under Mail, Contacts and Calendar - I saw my Exchange account listed and so clicked to edit it. It brought up a screen showing that Calendar was ticked. I unticked this and my appointments sent to me in Outlook are no longer appearing in ical - which is what i wanted.
Hope this might help someone else.

How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone?

How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone? I've searched the Web and the only answer that comes back is to use a product that doesn't help me with Microsoft Exchange. This seems like a fairly simple thing to fix, but has been outstanding for 3+ years. Really? Am I the only person who wants to remove old meetings from an Exchange calendar without whacking the entire calendar and its appointments and without having the original participants getting spammed?
I'm using the built-in "delete events xx days after they have passed", which you would think wouldn't do this. Guess again. I cannot control the fact my clients use Exchange, and it's a fairly common e-mail system for enterprises to have. Are there any solutions?
Thanks!

I was just experiencing this problem on Mountain Lion. The calendar I wanted to delete was on iCloud. So, I logged into iCloud from a web browser, and selected Calendar. On the current incarnation of iCloud Calendar the calendars are listed on the left. I selected the "Edit" link at the top of that list and chose delete. It indicated that the items would be deleted, but there was nothing about notifications. Then, when I went back to iCal on my Mac, I selected the calendar to be deleted, right clicked, and slected refresh...
... gone.
It probably would have disappeared on it's own eventually. I'd be curious to see if theis works for others, so please confirm.
Good luck.

HT1277 can I delete emails from my IPhone and the server as well?

Can I delete emails from both my IPhone 5 and the server as well?

It's very easy to do - open up the music app, find the song/artist/album you want to delete and then swipe on it right to left and press 'delete'. Once you have done this it will take up no more space on your device whether it's in the cloud or not.
If the song is still appearing in the music app with a little cloud next to it then you can stop it from showing by going into settings, music, and turning off 'show all music'. Note that this will remove ALL songs from the music app that have the cloud next to it (the cloud means they are in the cloud, online, but not stored on the device) and if you want to play them you will have to open itunes and redownload it, or change this setting back to on.
Let me know if you need any more help!

How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

I downloaded some free iBooks. After I read them, I clicked "delete" and a dialog box said they are deleted from my computer but remain in iCloud and can be downloaded later. But I want to delete them from iCloud as well as from my computer. How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

You cannot delete them form icloud.
Icloud is a service that allows redownloading of past purchases. That is the point.

I can't delete calendars from iCal, they re-appear in a few moments. Also I can't add new entries. I have a backup on another Mac which is working properly.
