ICal automatically deletes event I just added

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion software. Now, whenever I add a new event to my iCal, it appears for a moment and then deletes itself. I have several different color calendars for different subjects. Some calendars and their events stay, but for some reason, certain events will not stay in my iCal. Can someone help me with this?

I have this same problem but it happens on all of y devices, I have an iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iMac.
When I add events on to the calendar they disappear and sometimes when I get on my iMac hours later they've reappeared but they don't always reappear.
It's really frustrating!!!

Ical - automatically deletes events

by august 06 all the previous events have been deleted w/out warning except the ones I got from shared mac-users. now all the anual events (birthdays etc.) have been deleted w/out warning. any idea how to solve the problem?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm not sure if this is what is happening, but I thought my events were all gone too. Then I "unchecked" the various calendars that I have listed on the left...then "checked" them again...and wow, everything came back!!!
The problem now is that when I switch months, I need to repeat this process of "unchecking" and then "checking" the calendars to get all my events listed.

Using iCal 2.0.4 with OS 10.4.8

IPad 2 with iOs 5 iCal automatically deletes events that have been made afterwards?

When I try to make an event afterwards (for example today tried to make an event for 7th of November), iCal first makes it and then after few seconds deletes it instantly. Is there a way to make an event afterwards?

You have messed up your iPad by installing an unofficial iOS release only available to developers.
If you are not a developer, then you should not have installed that iOS on your iPad in the first place.
Ask the people who sold you that unofficial iOS to help you.
This forum is definitely the wrong place to find help for your particular problem!

ICal Misbehaving - deleted events reappear and editing buggy

My iCal is not behaving properly—every time I try to delete an event it
re-appears a moment later and every time I try to edit an event it makes the
change, but leaves a duplicate of the original.
My iCal is not behaving properly—every time I try to delete an event it re-appears a moment later and every time I try to edit an event it makes the change, but leaves a duplicate of the original.
I tried looking for a downloadable version (I am currently using version 4.0.4) to re-install it, but I cannot find a version that will install.
iCal seems to work fine in other accounts, restarting / logging off and returning to my account doesn't help.

Are you syncing with anything?

How to automatically delete iCal events

I've finally gotten to a "technical place" where I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone for my wife and I. Life is good!!
I've made the switch to iCloud and now manage my calendar on all devices, but I can't seem to find how to set up my calendar to automatically delete old events.
I would assume that events that were created as the "start" of a repeating event should not be deleted, but those events that I create as non-repeating have little or no value to remain.
Is there a way to have iCal automatically delete events in the past?
Jim P.

Jim,
Log into iCloud.com, open the Web App Calendar, click on the Prefereces cog, and make the appropriate selections in "Advanced."

HT2513 Help! iCal is deleting some events, as well as deleting anything more than 1 month old

HELP! iCal is deleting events, seemingly at random. It is also deleting everything more than a month old. Since I have no other record of my calendar, this is a disaster.
This has nothing to do with icloud, as my Mac is showing the identical calendar with identically missing items. Nor have I added or deleted any calendars.

Do this, and while it is in the open re-examine your cpu pins w/ a bight light and hd zoom or a magnifying glass.
Thanks, xmad, I'll look at th CPU again tomorrow/next day under the glass when I take the board out. I already checked them under magnification and was leaning toward a funky board, but it never hurts to re-check. Eyesight is not what it used to be, for sure (I miss DOS, if that's a clue...). Don't want to flash the BIOS if not necessary, since it runs Windows fine and everything works except that RAM.
Bernhard, I don't have CPU-Z installed on that machine and don't want to install anything else until it's working normally. I'd never seen Click-Bios before and just need to get over my initial suspicion of something new! Also learn my way around it before I change anything. I'd never encountered a board reporting a bios different than printed on it. I've never messed with manual memory settings or done more overclocking than just a little exploratory and suprisingly successful nudge - if you could point me toward a good basic explaination of all those settings, I could learn from there.
Appreciate your input very much.
Have learned a lot just reading the threads here for the last few days. This is the best forum I've ever encountered. I'll report back - some suggestions in other posts resembling my problem ended with no resolution, and that's a shame because one doesn't know if it worked or not.

Help! iCal deleting events!

Help please!
iCal is deleting events off our business calendar. Everything before 60 days ago has been wiped
1) Is there anything that can be done to retrieve?
2) Is there anything that can be done to ensure this stops?
Please note:
- All computers and devices that sync with these calendars have been checked and are NOT set to delete past events - including all iCal calendars and Blackberry settings.

To respond to redsteven1, everything on iCal and Blackberry preferences are set to keep events forever. This was the first thing I checked. Also, I checked preferences on my mobile me account and those settings are the same. Technically, and on the face of it, there should be no reason why any old events would delete. Clearly there is some kind of bug in the software or syncing process. There are no settings on iSync that should affect this either. I checked that too. At first I thought this may just be a Blackberry problem but from my research on these and other forums it appears that the problem isn't limited to Blackberry users.

In ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

Hi,
Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.

I can't delete events recurring annually...not part of birthday calendar, these are events I've added manually. I've tried delete key, cut event, changing to no recurrence, they just revert to original recurrence and will not be removed from my calendar. Events that occur weekly I'm able to delete, this is only happening with events recurring annually. Very frustrating. Thanks for any ideas.

If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

ICal to iPhone synching deleted events

When synching iCal to my iPhone, I get multiple deleted items added back to my iPhone. I then have to go through and delete them on the iPhone manually. These items are no longer on iCal on my MacBook Pro, but everytime I synch these old deleted events continue to show up. I have changed the name of the calender to see if a particular file was corrupted - that does not fix the problem. It is getting to the point where I just dread synching my iPhone. Any suggestions?

In iTunes, there should be a setting to choose which calendar events created on the phone are added to - something like: “Put new events created on this phone into". (I don't have an iPhone to check detail.)
Make sure that the calendar selected here is the one you are syncing with.
My suspicion is that - even though you are not creating these events on the phone - this setting is preventing their deletion being recognised at the iCal end of the equation.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

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 do you delete all occurrences of a recurring event in iCal without deleting them one by one?

These events have no stopping point, and go on into eternity. How do I get them out of iCal without having to delete each one separately? I want to sync with my new iPhone, but don't want these events in my iPhone calendar. They are in my old iPhone when I synced it a couple of years ago. In the iPhone, you have no way to delete or edit these events.
Thanks for any suggestions.

pedfogog,
... or whoever may find this post in need of assistance as I was.
I just had this same problem and successfully deleted ALL event (past and future)instances by :
1. Click on any instance of the event in the calendar
2. Select "Delete" from the iCal toolbar "Edit" menu.
3. The iCal propmt asked me to choose to delete all or just the one instance.
4. Naturally, select to "Delete all occurrences"
I am running OS 10.6.8 iCal 4.0.4

ICal 4.0 and Snow Leopard: can't add / edit / delete events + workaround

Hi,
iCal 4.0 under 10.6.1, any changes I made in iCal was reversed when I quit and reopened iCal. Plus my changes didn't sync to my iPod.
When looking at the Console.app, I saw:
2009/09/15 13:31:51 iCal[11918] save failed: Error Domain=CalCalendarStorePersistenceErrorDomain Code=1 UserInfo=0x115d4c780 "The end date can’t be set to occur before the start date. Change the end or start date." {
NSLocalizedDescription = "The end date can\U2019t be set to occur before the start date. Change the end or start date.";
I tried to export / delete / import all my calendars, that didn't help. Then I noticed I also have the calendar automatically generated for the birthdays from my address book.
I unchecked "Show Birthdays calendar" from the General preferences. Now iCal works again (I can add / edit / delete events and the error message doesn't show in the Console.app anymore)
Cheers,
Janus

I have updated my OS to 10.9 hoping this to fix my problem.... but nothing... It's still the same....
