Removing unwanted events in Calendar

I had two calenders in my microsoft outlook and then i deleted one, and now all the info that was synched to my ipod wont go away. I guessed if it could't find the info that that it would delete it.
Does anyone know how to remove or restore my calendar back to nothing, cause the dates and events are all meaningless to me know?
PS - I also cleared my current outlook calendar to contain no events or data.

Select the iPod in iTunes.
On the Summary tab, select Enable disk use.
Open Windows Exploder, go to the iPod and delete everything in the Calendar folder.

Deleting calendar invites does not remove the event from calendar

i regularly get calendar invites that i do not want cluttering my calendar. on my PC, i can easily delete or decline them without sending a response, which is the easiest way to deal with them. but if i open the invite mail message on my iphone, the event gets added to my calendar automatically. what's worse, if i delete the email message containing the invite, the event stays on my calendar. if i tap the event, i'm given the choices of accept, maybe, or decline. if i decline, it sends a message to the organizer. this actually leads to more problems, like a senior person wondering why i declined their event, or a junior person sending invites to the entire office and complaining about all the declines. it's even worse if a client sends an invite for a project i'm not involved with.
is there some setting i need to enable to ensure that when i delete an email containing a calendar/outlook invite, the event is deleted (or better yet, never added) to my calendar?

Why has no one helped? This is a reasonable question but all similar strands are left unanswered. Why wouldn't people want to hold on to the information about old appointments?

Help with removing event from calendar

Hello everyone I'm adding a simple feature in my xcode ios app that has a UISwitch. When the UISwitch is on an event is created (this part works fine). But when I turn the UISwitch off I cannot find a way to remove the event. If I use code in the second if statement to remove the event, the event identifier is undeclared because it is in a separate if statement. Can someone please tell me what code I need to remove the event.
Code:
- (IBAction)switchon:(id)sender {
    if (switchoutlet.on) {
        EKEventStore *store = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
        [store requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
            if (!granted) { return; }
            EKEvent *event = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:store];
            event.title = @"Event A";
            event.startDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:1406948400]; //today
            event.endDate = [event.startDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60]; //set 1 hour meeting
            EKAlarm *alarm = [EKAlarm alarmWithRelativeOffset:-60*10];
            event.alarms = [NSArray arrayWithObject:alarm];
            [event setCalendar:[store defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
            NSError *err = nil;
            [store saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&err];
            NSString *savedEventId = event.eventIdentifier; //this is so you can access this event later
    if (!switchoutlet.on) {
        //remove event

How to delete orphaned events in Calendar?

OK, so I'm pulling my hair out on this one: I discovered today that my wife's birthday anniversary event got duplicated 3369 times in my iPad calendar...
I'm grateful for the reminder, but 3369 times is a bit too much.
Ruling out my wife's unlikely hacking of my calendar, the culprit is probably an automatic sync with my Google calendar gone awry. Lesson learned, don't sync with Google calendar, fine, but these events cause the loading of the calendar to be super slow and I don't want to imagine what's going to happen in 10 days when the reminders for these events are going to be shown...
So how to I remove these events from my Calendar?
Going through them one by one is not an option, and anyhow, I have tried to delete one, it won't go away.
Delete the calendar they belong to? Great idea, except they don't belong to any calendar, despite what Calendar tells me in the detail of one event. Which is probably the reason why I can't delete them manually in the first place. I have verified this by writing a small app that finds those event in the calendar: the calendar property of the EKEvent is nil.
I have tried to delete them in my app ([store removeEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&error]), I get this error:
Failed to remove: Error Domain=EKErrorDomain Code=1 "No calendar has been set."
(Note that I did call [store requestAccessToEntityType: completion:] to authorize my app to modify the calendar).
I figured it had something to do with the event not being in a calendar, so I have tried to assign them to a calendar in my app, it doesn't work, they remain orphaned.
I have disabled sync with Google and iCloud.
I have tried to delete my iCloud account on the iPad: I get an endless spinning wheel that forces me to kill the Calendar app.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is restoring my device, but then, what if the backup contains those events?
An idea? Anybody?
Thanks

How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
Thanks.

Thank you for your response.
However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
Thank you.

Actively remove unwanted characters

Hi, I'm writing a function to actively remove unwanted characters from an input field. It will run every time a key press event occurs on the selected input fields. It is going to remove quotes and things like that. This is what I have so far..
void test(){
char unwantedCharSet[50]={"abcD"};
char tempString2[200];
int matchedCharIndex;
GetCtrlVal (panelHandle[MAIN], MAIN_STRING,tempString);
do{
RemoveSurroundingWhiteSpace (tempString);
matchedCharIndex = strcspn (tempString, unwantedCharSet);
if(matchedCharIndex==strlen(tempString)){
SetCtrlVal (panelHandle[MAIN], MAIN_STRING, tempString);
return;
else{
strncpy (tempString2, tempString, matchedCharIndex);
CopyString (tempString, matchedCharIndex, tempString,matchedCharIndex+1,(strlen(tempString)-matchedCharIndex));
strcat (tempString2, tempString);
sprintf(tempString,"%s",tempString2);
} while(1);
return;
It is still glitchy. Does anyone have any advice to efficiently do this?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This was my solution, although, it takes a long time to perform. Does anyone have any tips on a better (faster/cleaner) approach?
/*=====================================================================*/
// TEST

char *filter(char *inputString,char *filterString){
int ptr=0,matchedCharIndex=0;
char outputString[100];

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

How do I delete multiple events in Calendar on iPhone or iCloud?

If I want to delete multiple events in Calendar on iPhone or iCloud, is there any way to do it?
I don't want to be clicking / tapping for hours...
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, I don't believe that's possible.

How can I disable the "location" pop-ups when entering a new event in Calendar?

When I add a new event in Calendar on my computer (Macbook using Yosemite) and then start to type an address or place in the location field, a pop-up list of locations appears from which I can choose. If I choose one of the listed locations, then a map appears (which I don't want) along with travel times, etc. I want to disable this feature. Seems the only way I can ignore this pop-up list is to hit the tab button as soon as I have finished typing. This doesn't occur on my iphone or iPad (I can just click "done" and ignore the list). I really wish I could disable this feature!

The registration screen should only appear after every 5 launches.
If you register FCE it will no longer appear assuming it is on the same computer.

"iCal got an error: Can't Make id of event of calendar 4 into type referen

Hello everyone. i am completely new to MAC's and very new to scripting. Thanks in advance for any help.
I am tying to run an Apple Script that is called Scheduled Delivery.
I'm running 10.4.10 and have the most recent version of the script.
Basically what happens is I type up and email, add in the email address and save it to my drafts folder. The Scheduled Deliver script, when run, finds all the emails in my drafts folder and uses iCal to schedule a time to mail them (which is a specific time I enter)
Here is my process I go through-
I run the apple script by double clicking on the Scheduled deliver Icon, which was in my appications/MailScript folder. It brings up a new window with all my saved drafts. I select the draft I want to schedule a specific time to deliver. This is great.
When I click on the lower right button "Update Schedule" I get an error message...
"iCal got an error: Can't Make id of event of calendar 4 into type reference. (-1700)"
I cannot figure this out. I've tried testing it anyway. I can close the Scheduled Deliver window but the "Done" button is always grey out. It seems to place an event in iCal but no message ever gets sent.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Anyone? Any help is greatly appreciated.

How do I set 4 weekly events in calendar?

I want to add a 4 weekly event in calendar on my iPhone 4S. The only option close is either two weekly or monthly both of which are no good to me.

Roger make sure you have location services turned in in System Preferences / Privacy and make sure the Calendar is checked.
As a test, I turned mine off and then I saw the same problems on the Calendar as you described. Once your turn them on, you should be able to add locations and a map will appear at the bottom of the screen where you edit the event details. You can double click the map to open Maps and get directions.
Stephen. In reply to this:
Some events give me the Travel Time option, but only from "Work" and not "Home". My actual work events don't give me the Travel Time option, maybe because iCal thinks I am already there?
I played around for a bit and think I found an answer. If I have no events on a day and I schedule one for anytime until 6:00pm, it will give the travel time from Work. If I add an event or change the time to 6:01pm or later, it will give the travel time from home.
If there are other events with locations already on the calendar and I add a new event reasonably close to one of them, it will give the travel time from the location of the previous event.
I haven't found a way to change the "from" location without adding another event or just typing in a travel time manually, but overall the automated system works pretty good.

Easy way to enter multi-day events in Calendar 7.0 (Mavericks)?

I need to create a bunch of multi-day events in Calendar (7.0 under Mavericks)
I think that I had discovered an easy way to do this under Mountain Lion -- double click on the day in Month view, type the name of the event, then type a date range, and hey! Presto!! Calendar created the multi-day event without my having to move the cursor and click to select start and end days in the little calendars.
I can't make that work w/ Calendar 7.0 under Mavericks -- has this changed? I've tried all variations of dates that I can think of - just the numerals for the days (13-19); numerals for month & days (7/13-7/19); including the year (7/13/14-7/19/2014); month names instead of numerals; with and without spaces around the hyphens..
I had Mountain Lion for only a couple of weeks on a new computer before I upgraded to Mavericks, so I don't remember exactly what I'd done in Calendar to enter all the info after double-clicking on a day & have the multi-day entry be created automagically
Thanks for any help
(I'm tying to find any reasons for keeping on using Calendar. I've used iCal for 10+ years to organize myself and my household, but I'm having a REALLY hard time w/ Calendar 7.0 under Mavericks -- no lines between days in month view makes it really hard to tell at a glance which events are on which days, especially if there are a lot of mult-day events; time for timed events after the event in smaller & pale gray letters is hard to see; little colored dots next to events are almost impossible to tell which color so which calendar an event belongs to (I have 11 Calendars); ...)

Tyrone,
The week view affords some of the capability that you are looking for.
Experiment with these suggestions:
1. Select the week view.
2. Choose the number of days that you want to display by selecting (Option +  + 1), (Option +  + 2), (Option +  + 3)...and so forth for the number of days desired for a week display of 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 days. Make sure the mini calendar window is displayed and you will see the number of gray days change accordingly.
3. Create a new item on Wednesday (Double click on the start point) and drag to your desired length, and if the event falls over the weekend change the display length as indicated in step 2 above, and drag the event to the end time.
Let me know if you get the hang of what I am trying to describe. It is easier to accomplish than it is to describe.
;~)
