In Calendar, deleting one event in a recurring event deletes everything...

When I delete one event in a recurring event, calendar deletes the entire event, both past and future. I am clicking the option "delete only this event," and the rest of the recurring event doesn't disappear on my iphone 4 (linked through iCloud). The strange thing is that the rest of the recurring event comes back after leaving the calendar alone for a day or two. Is it a problem with calendar or iCloud? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Personal opinion, the issue may be related to Calendar updating in another user side who has permission to this shared calendar.
To narrow down the issue, please do the following changes:
1. Confirm if the shared calendar permission is set for Reviewer or higher permission for this user.
2. Please remove this shared calendar from Calendar list and add it back to check whether the issue persists.
3. Change Outlook to Online mode and check whether the deleted single occurrences of recurring meeting is shown in calendar or not.

Droid Incredible - Move one instance of a recurring event

Is there any way to move one instance of a recurring event? I am trying to take a recurring event on a given day and move just that one

I originally did all of my recurring events and calendar stuff from gmail/calendar. It then synced to phone.
You can click on the particular event and choose to delete the specific one. You can do that on either the phone or online calendar.

Outlook 2010 subscribed internet calendar recurring event problem -- missing recurring events

Hi --
In Office Outlook 2010, I'm subscribed to my wife's google calendar via subscribed internet calendars. A few weeks ago, I noticed that recurring events weren't appearing. I deleted the subscription, and resubscribed, with no luck. (All
her other appointments and events were there, but not the recurring ones - including new scheduled events she had just added.)
At the same time, I did the same thing in Office Outlook 2013, (on another computer), and all the recurring events were there.
So the problem isn't with the feed, but somewhere in MS Office Outlook 2010.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Please make sure the latest patches and service packs are installed for your Outlook 2010. Since the issue doesn’t happen in Outlook 2013 on another computer, the Internet Calendar URL should be OK for opening.
Please refer to the following article to create a new Outlook profile and restart Outlook in Safe mode to have a try:

If the issue doesn’t happen in safe mode, the issue may be caused by any third-party add-ins, please disable then enable the add-ins in Outlook One by One to confirm the issue cause.

In iCal 8.0, how do I change a single event of a recurring event?

I am using Yosemite. I have a recurring monthly event for Payroll on the 25th. But, when the 25th falls on a weekend, I change it to the previous Friday.
To make this change, I drag the recurring event to that Friday. A popup says it will change all recurring events to that date.
How do I just change a single event and leave the future recurring events as is?

Without seeing your page, this seems less like a template problem and more of a design strategy problem.
You should be building flexible pages that can handle increased content, text-sizes, image sizes, etc...
CSS height property is a restriction in all but IE browsers. Either remove height property from your content areas or consider using a more flexible min-height.

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 and Calendar sync one week apart for Repeating events

Hi,
First Post here. Look forward to sticking around. I have been reading the forum avidly since I received my iphone 3g on July 11th.
So here is the issue: It is in regards to events that I created on my iphone that are scheduled to repeat each week, but then end on a certain day. This works perfectly fine in the iphone so far, but when it syncs with iCal it always ends one week earlier than on the iphone. The iphone will remain the proper date, whereas iCal ends one week early.
I won't go on longer, but has anyone else had this issue? Maybe you should double check your dates if you have any repeated events scheduled in your phone, and compare them with iCal to double check they are right.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
Cam

I guess I should have added that with Outlook, I am connect to Exchange.

I am unable to delete one email message. No problem deleting others.

There is one message on my email (hotmail acct.) that I am unable to delete. When I try to put it in the trash, it remains. All others can be deleted!

Have you tried logging into Hotmail on a PC and removing it from there?
It could be a problem with Hotmail.

I had two copies of Firefox on my computer but when I deleted one through the control panel it deleted both.

Now when I try to reload the program it says thatI need to reboot to complete the uninstall. I have done this a dozen times but I can't get past the Reboot to complete uninstall. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you just opened up a second window and not a second instance of Firefox. You cannot have two instances running on same Profile as a second instance is started with its own Profile and -no-remote

ICal crashes when editing one instance of recurring event

Maybe it is just my imagination, but this started just as MobileMe was released.
If I edit or delete one instance of a recurring event, iCal crashes about 90% of the time. I'm not sure why it does work in a very few cases. Usually it will show as "Not responding" in my activity monitor and start using all memory. When I force quit, the log files include the following:
Command: iCal
Path: /Applications/iCal.app/Contents/MacOS/iCal
Version: 3.0.4 (1263)
Build Version: 3
Project Name: iCal
Source Version: 12630000
Parent: launchd [458]
Any tips? My iCal is nearly unusable as most of my events are recurring, and editing events is a necessary tool. Let me know if I should post more of the error log.

Delete one ical recurring event - automator

Hi,
I am wanting to make a small Automator workflow that will allow me to delete only certain events from within a recurring event chain. I use iCal for my school timetable (spread over two separate calendars - separate from all of my other events) and have it recurring every week. I would like this workflow to delete the timetable from the holiday periods but delete only those events that lie within the holidays.
i have created a workflow that does what I want initially, but it interrupts the recurring event and therefore deletes all of my timetable in the two specified calendars after the holiday period that I specify. I use three different steps, shown by the images below (in order):
For example, if in step 2, I put in the date "after 2/7" and "before 5/7", I want it to delete all events on the two calendars from step one between 2/7 and 5/7. Instead, this is deleting all events on those two calendars after 2/7 because the recurring event is deleted.
How can I get this to do what I want?
Is there a way to get Automator to use the "Delete only this event" option that appears in a prompt if deleting a recurring event from directly within iCal?
Cheers.

Something you might try is, Right click on the event in your calendar and select "get info". In the get info screen set the "repeat" to none. End that screen and go back to the calendar and right click select "cut". Should be gone for good.

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.

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."
;~)

How 'recur events' daily but not, say, weekends? or How delete just 1 day?

I see options to make an event recur daily, weekly, or annual.
If select daily of course it recurs every day of week.
But only want weekdays.
So how delete so doesn't recur every Saturday or Sunday, or any other day of wk?
I click on the Saturday event and click delete, but am presented only with option to delete all events. Delete one day of wk and it deletes them all.
So how?
Or is only way just to make an event then past it into M-F each day, etc?
thank you.

No secrets here; I wrecked tons of events before I finally grew comfortable with the detailing, so I recommend flailing around before you actually require a detail.
This is the joy of "it just works." If it doesn't, then your intuition is obviously to blame. The missing manual titles are the most appropriately named books. Don't forget that all SW sellers are doing the same thing now so I still like Apple for being more intuitive than the other guys, especially with the temptation of Unix right behind the door to throw consistency to the four winds. I have similar feelings about all post-X Apple products, but I'm not going to sit through hours of video tutorials just to pick up a single detail that has me hung up. Books are a great random access information store, but expensive to create. I think they should author full manuals with digital distribution, like PDF's.
The sky hook is out back with the steam bucket. Turns out there's yet another SkyHook on the horizon and not just random engineers and tow truck companies; some big aeronautics builder was commercializing dirigible airships for heavy lift applications when the economy dropped through the basement.

Calendar app in iOS can't set complex recurring events or arbitrary alert time.

Dear Administrator,
I find the Calendar app in iOS very limiting. It should not be difficult for Apple to include features that allows arbitrary alert time (45min before the event) or complex recurring events (repeat every 4 months on the first Thursday of the month). Do I miss something or Apple did not include these features in the system software. It is really inconvenient. Please help.
Sincerely yours,
Zigang Pan

The built-in calendar app does not support complex recurrances. If you want to do that, you'll need to use a different calendar app, such as Fantistical 2 or Week Calendar.

In Calendar, deleting one event in a recurring event deletes everything...
