ICal problem - delete meeting

I have a problem with iCal in Leopard. My company uses Oracle Calendar and I export my meetings as ical files and import to iCal on the Mac. This creates duplicate meetings for any meetings hat were already in my iCal. This was no problem under Tiger as I simply deleted the duplicates (even have a script to do it). The problem I have with the new iCal is that when I try to delete a meeting I am forced to send a message to all others in the meeting that it has been cancelled. There seems to be no option simply to delete the meeting. Any suggestions?

I couldn't agree with you more. I recently rebuilt Leopard for the 3rd time (something about a charm there) and I imported all my iCal events which for some reason, duplicated everything 3 or 4 times in iCal which meant I have over 700 calendar events in my iCal. That being the case, I know I have a good calendar backup which I'll import once iCal gets through sending out 700 cancelation notices through mail. I've been waiting for this to get done for the last 20 minutes.
To me, this is a blatant oversight by Apple, very poor QC for iCal developers to overlook something as important as this in the days of over communication and excessive spam. I'm shocked they don't have a (do not notify) option here. What's more, if you're deleting an entire calendar, you shouldn't have to send out meeting cancelation notices - thats just ridiculous!

ICal not deleting old events

When i upgraded to Leopard, iCal stopped deleting old events. I have it set to delete events older than 30 days, and it's not doing it. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

It's a bug, it didn't work for me in Tiger either. I have the preference set to delete To Do items one day after they are completed. It rarely does. Sometimes it will work, and then it won't. It's flakey.

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.

Serious ical problems after 10.6.3 update

dear forum,
since my update to 10.6.3 ical has serious problems.
right after the update ical reported that it had not the rights to access to the calendar cash file.
after some days this problem fixed itself. but since then ical has a very strange behavior:
the last event pops up at least every hour and i cannot make any changes in the calendar. e.g. when i delete an event it reappears a second later. despite of this the system update starts every day and i cannot change the frequency of updates in the system preferences.
does somebody know any help?
best wishes
hans

p.s.:
i just recognized that things are even worth. in addition to the ical problems safari does not remember any bookmark i made. after relaunch the new ones are gone, only the bookmarks i made before the 10.6.3 update remain there.
spooky, isn't it?

TS3999 ical keeps deleting all my events the day before the event!

My ical keep deleting all my events the day defore the event and or on the day of the event! Any one having this problem or know how to fix it? thanks

Give this a try

Now these structures look like transfer structures but we have removed the object from all such structures and have ran where used in RSD1 and this object is not used anywhere !
Please help as this object needs removing and recreating with the same technical name.
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Go to the info object in RSA1 in change mode and click edit - where used.
You will get a list of other objects where this object is used.
Delete the data in the cube. Delete the object from the cube and dimension of the cube. If you have more than one cube and ODS that uses this object, pl do the same for cube and ODS.
Remove the object from the comm structure and other data marts.
Delete the data in the info object.
Delete the from the info object.
Now, again go to the info object and see the where used list.
The list should be list.
Now, you are all set to delete the object.
Finally create another one with the same name .

Problem deleting multiple keywords in lightroom 5

I am importing about 20,000 pictures from Flickr. they are all creative commons, and the end result will be the use of approximately 4000 of these in an online sign language dictionary.
I use Bulkr to import them and this process imports the tags as well as other information such as the photographers name and url. Many of these photos arrive with hundreds of tags, so that the total number of tags might be 20000 or more. I need to assign my own tags and delete all the tags that the photo arrived with. I use the lightroom batch delete to do this (the little minus sign at the top of the keyword list). i select a keyword, hold down the shift key and scroll down. the problem is that i cannot just scroll down to the bottom of the list. There appear to be unpredictable keywords that cause the shift-select process not to work. if i scroll back up and then carefully scroll part of the way back down, then there will be a point at which shift-select stops working and above that it works.
The end result of this is that it takes numerous shift-select-scroll down-select to delete everything so that what should take maybe 2 minutes takes 20 minutes or more.
The problem may be related to foreign language keywords especially chinese characters, but even what looks like a perfectly ordinary keyword can stop it. Two recent examples: travellers cheque and Київ. In all cases, the words can be deleted when i click directly on them. you just cant shift-select THROUGH them.
A separate annoyance that i will just grumble about is that i was forced to put these pictures in a separate catalog because there is always the risk that i could manage to delete my own keywords while batch-deleting everyone elses, and there is no simple way that i know of to undo this. with the separate catalog at least i wont delete all the keywords for my own pictures.

With respect to problems deleting multiple keywords: On Windows, since at least version 3, LR has had basic bugs when you have more than about 1600 keywords showing. (Hard to believe it isn't fixed by now.) A simple workaround for you situation is to filter the keywords one letter at a time and then select the subset of keywords that are showing -- e.g. filter all keywords with the letter "t", then all keywords with the letter "b", etc.
With respect to not getting the keywords into your catalog in the first place: You can define a Metadata Preset that will clear the keywords on import:

Problems deleting computer objects-because of their subordinate objects

We are running a 2008 R2 domain. We have recently removed our techs out of Account Operators because we have read that is best practice. Our techs now have problems deleting computer account objects that have the msmq active directory objects
beneath the computer object. Even if I give the techs full control permissions on those computer objects, they cannot delete them because they cannot delete the msmq subordinate AD objects. The msmq objects are not showing a security tab, like
other subordinate objects do. If I delete the msmq objects with a Domain Admin account, then the techs can delete the computer objects. Any ideas of how I can fix it so they can delete the msmq objects, without being Account Operators?
Thanks,
Dan Heim

Hello,
please see
http://policelli.com/blog/archive/2009/11/06/understanding-adminsdholder-and-protected-groups/ and start with removing the flag for the mentioned accounts. Therefore see "Orphaned AdminSDHolder Objects" in the mentioned article.

Problem deleting users with delegated admin

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem deleting users with delegated administrator. I am using JES 2005Q4.
Here is what I do:
I set Inetuserstatus and mailuserstatus to deleted. Then run msuserpurge to delete the mail box. This seems to be working fine. Then I do a commadmin domain purge and it will actually delete the persons ldap record, but it does not delete the o=pab records or the o=PIserverDB records.
I am probably missing a step here, and would apprecidate it somebody could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Gary

How do I reset iCal or delete EVERYTHING on it?

Hi. I haven't used iCal in over 4 years and would like to use it again. However, it is full of appointments and schedules that I'd set to repeat weekly that no longer apply to my life now. Is there a way that I can simply DELETE all this stuff without having to go through every single appointment and delete it all individually? The only thing I found on the iCal help page was "how to delete a calendar" which makes no sense to me because I don't know how to "select a calendar." ???? I don't see any way to do this. Your help would be much appreciated!

Stephanie,

To select a calendar, just click on the calendar name in the Calendar Sources panel on the left side of the iCal window. After you click on the name of the calendar, choose iCal>Edit>Delete from the iCal menu. You may want to consider saving a copy of each calendar before deleting it. To do that click on the calendar name, choose iCal>File>Export...>Export for each one of the calendars you will be deleting. Save them in the location of your choice.
Before you delete the last calendar, create a new calendar by using iCal>File>New Calendar and name it appropriately.

Problem deleting music track

Hi there I am having a problem deleting a song in a slide show I am putting together in FCP. Everytime I select it and try to delete it removes the pictures and the music. What I am doing wrong?

You might be trying to delete the song when it is on the "Primary Storyline". The Primary Storyline is the one that has the darker gray background strip from left to right on your timeline. If you added your song first to your project, you probably added it to the Primary Storyline. Then the pictures and other things you put over or under your song in the timeline were "connected clips" attached to that primary storyline. When you delete the stuff on the primary storyline, the connected things get deleted along with it.
One way around this is to press the Control key while clicking once on your song. From the resulting menu that comes up select "Replace with Gap". The clip you selected should be deleted while everything that had been connected to it remains. Hope this helps.

Problem deleting notes

I have an intermittent problem deleting the notes in the piano roll. I think it might be something I am doing, or some setting I am not aware of.
I select one or more notes in the piano roll. Notes are highlighted as expected. Hit the 'delete' key and nothing happens. Sometimes the notes do delete, other times they do not.
Problem is most common during playback, but can happen when paused/stopped.
Usually if I re-select the notes one or more times, delete will work.
Any ideas?

After you restored, did you set the iPhone up as a new phone or from a backup? You should definitely set it up as a new phone, otherwise you'll likely recreate the software bug you were trying to eliminate by restoring. If you didn't do it this way, try restoring again, and setting up as a new phone. Then, if everything is okay, you can sync your music, apps, notes, etc back to the phone.

Problem deleting .app

I am having a problem deleting .app files from my macbook. I can delete other files such as .mp3 or any other but for some reason when i delete a .app it reappears on my HD. there will be a white circle with a line through it as if its stopping me from being able to delete.
What can be wrong?

I just figured it out and fixed it. There was a CleanApp Launch Daemon in my Library.deleted it, restarted my macbook and now joy =]

Problem deleting track entry on iTunes

I have a problem deleting a couple of entries on iTunes 7.1.1.5. I had already erased the songs that were related to this few entries but I couldn't the entries off the library like I normally could.
A common point of these few songs is that they're all incomplete tracks and that their tags cannot be modified at all.
I tried the delete button and Right-click > delete but both couldn't work. What should I do?
Compaq Presario Windows XP

Today, I tried deleting the entry off iTunes and it worked. Wonder why it refused to delete it yesterday, no matter what I did. Hmmm. I hope that this does not happen again.
(Anyway, I could still delete an entry from iTunes even if the file is read-only.)
Thanks for your help anyway! I'm touched that the folks are so helpful here!
