My iCal runs very slowly. Is there a way to delete past events quickly without having to delete each event individually?

Ever since my new Mac OS update, my calendar runs very slowly, sometimes freezing. What shall I do? Could it be that past events are slowing it down? If so, how can I remove them easily without having to scroll through everything and press delete?

What settings have you in Preferences/Advanced delete events after they have passed?

  • Is there a way to empty the email inbox without having to mark each item separately?

    I would like to empty inbox and sent mail boxes en masse; ie, without having to mark each mail item individually and deleting them in that manner. Is there any way to empty these boxes with one or two operations?

    Unfortunately, no.

  • Ical runs very slowly

    iCal 3.0.7, MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.7 — Recently iCal runs very slowly, like 20 to 30 times slower than it used to. Can get coffee and donut from downstairs before it will change to another month, enter an event, etc. Ran disk repair and permissions repair, but it still runs slowly. Is there a way to reinstall iCal or some other way to get it running as fast as it used to?

    Jon,
    Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
    If that is unsuccessful, "refresh" the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
    Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
    ;~)

    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • I have already purchased iMovie for my iPad.  Is there a way to download to my MAC without having to pay again?

    I have already purchased iMovie for my iPad.  Is there a way to download to my MAC without having to pay again?

    The iPad version is for iOS devices and can't run on OS X.
    The OS X version costs 3 times as much and is a separate download.

  • HT1414 is there another way i can fix this problem without having to restore my phone?

    my wifi settings is faded out so i cannot turn the wifi on. i followed the steps that this website said to do so it could get fixed but it didn't work.  then thet said i would have to restore my phone and i can't do that. is there another way i can fix this problem without having to restore my phone?

    No.
    A restore might not even fix it; a fair amount of the time, when the Wi-Fi is grayed out it is a hardware issue.

  • HT201441 I bought an iphone 4s off of kijiji and the phone is linked to the persons apple id, and i ant get in contact with them. is there a way i can activate my phone without having to jailbreak it.

    I bought an iphone 4s off of kijiji and the phone is linked to the persons apple id, and i ant get in contact with them. is there a way i can activate my phone without having to jailbreak it.

    You won't be able to activate it even if you do jailbrake it.  There's no way around activation lock without the assistance of the prior owner.

  • Ical running VERY slowly with 4 years of appointments

    Ical version 2.0.5 is running VERY slowly. PowerbookG4 10.4.11. Also won't upload new data from my iphone. Itunes version 7.5. I have already reset the phone x2, and would like another way to resolving the syncing issue. Wondering if corrupt data might be contributing to the problem. HELP! I need my calendars efficient and syncing. Christine

    Apple's growing too fast. They seem to be forgetting what got them here. The design and performance standards they set are beginning to fall. I bought an Apple two button mouse that clogs and works about half the time. Something I touch all day, every day works half the time. I've got iDisk and it intermittent at best. It syncs on about half my Macs I own, the other half the sync arrows spin constantly and never seem to be up to date. iCal is totally screwed up and, as I've noted in this thread, crashes my iTunes. My whole idea of moving into iCal, buying an iPhone is just out the window (pardon the pun).
    I'm a Mac guy since 1987. All my work is on Mac, I stopped editing on Avid and switched to Mac, I write reviews and have always loved Mac gear. My reviews have been quoted on the Mac site. Now, the guy who has an Apple tattoo is forced to look into non-Mac products. I can no longer rely on the rock solid performance that's kept me in the fold and I can't let my business be based on a unsupported software. A calendar!!! How can a calendar be this screwed up? I swear, I wrote a better calendar program in Hypercard! Apple, you've got to get your eye back on the ball before it's too late!

  • Is there a way to edit album info without having to update each song individually?

    So I am currently working on ripping my CD collection into iTunes. However sometimes the iTunes default information is wrong (album artwork, year, etc.)
    So is there a way I can update an album quicker than having to select each track and go one by one. For example...if the correct year for a particular album is 1994 and iTunes had it at something else, is there a way I can just enter the correct info and have it update all tracks in that album in one shot? Thanks.

    Click on the first track, shift+click on the last track.  Command+i to get info on the group (same as for single).

  • Is there a way to turn on the phone without having to enter the passcode every single time??

    Isn't there a way to not have to enter the pass code every single time you turn the phone on ??

    FWIW, I'd love to turn off passcodes *permanently* on my five iOS devices running iOS 8.1.
    Is this possible anymore?
    So far, iOS 8.1 insists (after awhile) that I *must* re-implement a passcode.
    (FWIW, with iOS 7 I could turn off passcodes permanently, sending iPads to sales prospects secure in the knowledge they could easily operate the iPad over the course of several weeks, reviewing media devoted to their projects, and not finding themselves locked out.)
    Advice much appreciated.

  • Is there some way of getting adobe to work without having to download a document first, then adobe will show the pages.

    Hello,
    I am trying to find out what I can do, to get adobe to open up a pdf file so that I can read all pages, without having to download the document first. I get the first page only; then I download and have access to all pages. Then I delete. Seems like such a long process. Is there another way? Do I need to download a different adobe?
    Thanks for your help.

    How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
    If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
    If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
    See if you can open that document on your laptop now.

  • HT4910 Is there a way to automatically backup iCloud documents, without having to manually copy and paste the files into a separate folder?

    I'm using MindNode Pro on OS X Mountain Lion, which saves documents to iCloud in a similar fashion to any of the iWork apps. I previously synced with Dropbox, which was automatically backed up with TimeMachine. Is there a way to do the same with iCloud?
    Thanks

    iCloud documents are backed up in Time Machine.

  • Is there a way to dismiss the alarm clock without having to unlock the phone?

    This has been annoying and, quite honestly, I don't remember it being a problem before the iOS 5 update.
    When an alarm goes off using the default clock / alarm app and the phone is locked, all I get is the option to Snooze. The only way to actually dismiss the alarm so that it does not go off again is to unlock the phone while the alarm is going off.
    Is there a way - either by pressing a button on the phone or getting a dismiss button next to the snooze button - to dismiss an alarm in the lock screen without having to unlock the phone? I know if the phone is unlocked, the alert will give me the option of either "Snooze" or "Ok," but I don't get that same option in lock mode.
    Any help with this would be appreiciated.

    The unlock slider at the bottom of the lock screen should turn off the alarm.

  • I am worried that someone has hacked my webcam on my iPad is that possible? And if so is there a way to get rid of it without having to go into the store?

    IS there a way to hack into someone iPad webcamera? and if there is can you get rid of it by yourself and not have to go into the store? Thank you sooo much!

    Unless you have jailbroken your iPad, no one has hacked into it. If that isn't enough to allay your fears, put a piece of masking tape over it. There is no way to get rid of the camera, even if you take it to the Apple Store.
    Best of luck.

  • Is there a way to unlock an iPod Touch WITHOUT having to restore?

    Hey there.  My little nephew put a passcode on his iPod Touch and forgot it.  Is there anyway I can unlock it without having to restore the iPod as I don't have the computer it is backed up on?  I'd like to try to avoid going into the Apple store as we aren't close to one right now.  Thank you!!

    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
