Need to Push Every Event in a Calendar Ahead One Week (AppleScript?)

Hi folks. I have an iCal calendar with many events in it. Some are multi-day, some are single day. I need to alter the start (and end) date of every single event in this calendar by one week. In other words, I need to push the entire calendar one week ahead.
It occurs to me that this could probably be done fairly elegantly with an AppleScript, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Has anyone done this, or something similar? Or does anyone have any other ideas as to how to accomplish this task without too much pain?

Hi Rusty,
I posted an Applescript that should do this in on my website. I would strongly suggest you archive your iCal calendars before running the script in case you don't like the results.
Let me know how you get on.
Best wishes

Merging events from multiple calendars into one calendar

I am using iCal version 2.0.5 on Mac OS 10.4.11.
Right now, there are 3 separate calendars setup in iCal: Personal, Home and Unfiled. What I would like to do is merge all of the events from these calendars into the Personal calendar and then delete the other two calendars (Home and Unfiled). Is there any trick to easily doing this?
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Before you do anything else, use iCal>File>Back up Database..., and save the backup to your Desktop.
Then use iCal>File>Export... for the Calendars that you want to merge into "Personal", and then delete Home/Unfiled from your CALENDARS sources pane.
Next click on the exported copies on the Desktop and you will be presented with an "Add Events" window which will allow you to choose "Import" into the Personal Calendar.
If everything is working as desired use Back up Database... for the new setup.

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.

Events removed from calendar after 6 weeks

I have noticed that events are deleted from my calendar on iphone and macbook air after 6 weeks, can I resolve this?

Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar, scroll down to the point Calendars. There must be the tab Sync. Switch it to All Events. Do this aswell in preferences of your mail on you mbAir

I have to charge my iphone 4 every day. I bought it one week ago.

I think there is something wrong with the battery. Battery performance is totally different from what Apple claims.
I turn off push and location service. I don't have any email account set up on my iphone.
Does anyone have the ideas? Thanks in advance.

I use it very occasionally. I don't have any mail account set up on my iphone 4. I turn off push function and location service. In my areas, I have only 3G network. I turn off cellular data. To be honest, I don't have much time to play with my iphone 4. What I am sure is that it is totally different from what Apple claims.
Apple recommends that I should charge the iphone 4 to 100% and drain it completely. What does "drain it completely" mean - to 0% or to around 20% where "low battery warning" appear?
Draining it completely means from 100% or wherever your battery is left, you are draining it down to 0%, where it will automatically power off because there isn't much power left to the device. Technically speacking, once the phone reaches 1%, it will take a few minute and the phone will completely shut off. This is how you know you drained the battery.
Try resstoring the phone and set up as new and see if that fixes the issue. If not, you might have to drop in at the apple store and have them check it out.

Why does my iCloud calendar have multiples of every event?

I have my Outlook calendar set to sync to iCloud. My iCloud calendar has double, triples, sometimes even more instances of the same event. This is true for every event on the calendar. When I look at the local calendar on Outlook, there is only one instance of each event. How do I stop this from happening? I am getting tons of event reminders popping up on my phone, super annoying.

Hello there, bhvansteinburgh.

Is there a way to set an alert for every event in a single calendar?

Hi all,
Is there a way to globally set an event in just one of the calendars showing in iCal?
For example, I have a "Birthday" Calendar with a bunch of birthday events. I want to set the alert for all of them to, say, noon, without having to edit each and every one.
Thanks!
Greg

To generally add an alarm to all events in a specific calendar you would need to program an Automator Workflow that passes all events of the calendar to an Applescript that adds the alarm.
For your birthdays problem is a predefined solution iCal: If you enter the Birthdays on the cards in your Address Book, and enable the "Show Birthdays Calendar Flag", then you will receive automatic email notifications of upcoming birthdays.

Why am I an attendee for every event on my published calendar?

I'm a new ical user as I've never really had a need for it until now!
I have a website which includes public content and I thought it would be a good idea to include a calendar of events. That was fine and I thought I'd push it a little further and so I've just added a protected micro-site that is a page with a frame that includes a calendar which is acting as a sort of rota. i.e. I added a series of events which each have an attendee who is the person who's supposed to be on duty at that event (They've got a job to do at that specific time.)
The problem I'm having is that my published ical calendar seems to be always including me as an attendee as well as the person I intended; whereas on the unpublished version on my computer includes only the intended person.
Have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick and this is actually an intended feature of ical or is it something that I can switch off, or is it something else?

I am also having this problem and it lists all of my contact information. If I want to print the calendar in list mode, it does it, also. I am a teacher and organize the calendar for the entire school. I need to list attendees, but I am not always one of them and to make matters worse, if a student gets hold of this calendar, it has all of my personal info on it.
I tried all different options to get rid of this, but no luck.
I am desperate for a solution to this issue.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

ApplesScript needed to copy iCal event and move into different calendar

Hello
I hope someone can help with this request.
For starters, I'm clueless on AppleScript and don't have the time or energy to learn it.
I am looking for a script that will copy an event in one calendar and move it to my CalDav (Google) calendar - which I intend using as my primary calendar going forward.
My techie friends give me strange looks when I explain how I came to this situation: I have to accept Outlook meeting invitations in Entourage to avoid the problem of events showing up 2 hours early (or late - can't remember which) in iCal. I have iCal and Entourage synced, with the events being pushed to iCal in a calendar named 'Entourage'.
I would like any 'Entourage' events to be copied and moved to my Google calendar, after which it syncs with the cloud.
Any assistance or advice?
Many thanks
Johann

There's a strong element of irony in coming across a solution after doing a search on 'Entourage' and 'Google Calendar' syncing.
Calgoo Connect - http://www.calgoo.com/connect/index.do - does a decent job of syncing iCal & GCal.
Thanks to MacBitz for the solution and setup guidelines: http://macbitz.wordpress.com/2008/11/08/entourage-and-google-calendar-all-synced -up/
The nice thing is you can choose which of your iCal calendars to sync.
I use Entourage to accept meeting requests - iCal used to have trouble with time zones in meeting requests sent from Outlook - so have used the work-around of accepting in Entourage, and syncing it with iCal. This syncing process creates a separate calendar in iCal.
In theory, I could simply use that as my primary calendar - which I haven't thus far, but may well do.
As the synched Google Calendar shows up in iCal, you do end up with duplications showing if you have all calendars visible. So all I've done is hide the visibility of the Entourage calendar (and my other calendars) so that all I see is my GCal.
It's a little clumsy, I'll admit, but it does the job. Which is all a little too Microsoft-ish for my liking
Hope this helps anyone else trying to sync with GCal

How do I get to see all my events on my MacOS X Calendar but not let anyone I share with see every event?

In iPad’s Calendar application when I select “Calendars” it shows a list of all my email accounts and allows me to assign any event to any email account not just iCloud. How do I get the MacOS X Calendar to do the same?
I share my MacOS X Calendar with someone else but I don’t want to share every event. When I select an email account in iPad’s Calendar other than iCloud it stays visible in iPad Calendar but disappears from my MacOS X Calendar.

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day...I have an ipad.

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day?

Do you happen to have a Mac? If so, and if you use iCloud to sync your calendars, you can do that on your Mac and your iPad will understand. But you cannot create such a repitition (or something like the third Tuesday of each month) on your iPad.
In Calendar on your Mac, you would create the event, choose "Custom ..." as the repitition frequency, then choose "Days" and choose every 3 days.

TS3999 Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar? Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar? Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

Thank you for your prompt response.
I did take a look at the Jira issue you referenced. It suggests that the MediaPlayer be set to null in the MediaView after the last media file has been played and nullify the MediaPlayer reference. However, all this relies on GC to cleanup the resources. (In fact, the sample code in Jira shows a call to System.gc(), which, I understand, is not guaranteed to run immediately.)
All the same, I tried the suggestion, but it didn't help my situation. So I am stuck with my alternative.
It is rather disheartening that there is not a clear cut API for cleaning up media resources when you are done, instead of being dependent on GC.
Thanks again.
