Repeating event: Can't delete - pops back up

Hi,
I have several weekly repeating events. Usually, during my vacation or on other occasions, I simply deleted the repeating events for these out-of-the-row week - until now.
All of a sudden iCal won't let me delete these events anymore. Well - it asks the standard question if it should remove all following repeating events or just this one. I select "just this one" - and iCal deletes it for about 3 or 4 seconds. And then - surprise! - it's back there!
Feel kind of fooled here..
Hint: Since some months, i synchronize my iCal with an iPod. Maybe it has to do with it. But it functioned even then until today...

Hey Foxboy71,
Really sorry, this is completely off-topic, but there's no private messaging on the Apple Forums. I note you used to use a TASCAM FireOne, and I was hoping you could tell me whether the line outputs on the rear are balanced or unbalanced stereo? TASCAM dropped the ball on this one regarding the documentation and I've been calling every shop I can find that ever stocked this thing and still haven't got a definitive answer
Like I say, sorry for hijacking the thread, but you've no idea how hard it is to find someone who's actually used one of these!
Regards,
S.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

Repeat events are not deleted...

Does anyone know how to remove the repeated event in iCal especially after it has been edited to be an item designated as "all future events"?
I attempted to delete several events that were assigned as repeating by going to the original event and editing the occurrance. When prompted I clicked the "all future events" button to apply it to all of them but there are still events showing up in iCal. Very frustrating!

Hi Janiv,
Base on my experience, Events will be deleted after retention period which is by default 1 day and this can be configured up to 7 days. It seems that user cannot delete the event data until the data is expired.

Can you delete old back-up files?

There tens of thousands of files in my iPhone backup area (Library>Application Support>Mobile Sync>Backup), most with old dates from previous back-ups. It doesn't appear that the backup process overwrites the old files.
Can I delete these old dated back-up files to free up space on my Mac? Can I assume the iPhone backup process is not incremental and a restore would not need these old files?
Thanks

I'm on 10.4.11.... forgot to update my sig (now updated).
I'm only concerned about it for eating too much (useless) space on my laptop, and perhaps running into some sort of file number limitations (if any).
I called Apple support on it and they said it's a result of me manually backing up (I don't auto sync backup due to the time involved, I right click the device to initiate the backup... maybe once a month).
When you manually backup, they said the system does not delete older backups. They said if you backup manually, the system also expects that you manage your old backup files manually. They said the manual backup files are not incremental - they stand alone each time you do it - so it safe to delete the older dated files, although advised to keep at least the two most recent backups intact.
Thanks for the input everyone.

In making a "highlights" movie, using clips from different imported iMovie events, can I delete the larger iMovie event file from the Events browser and still work w the smaller clips in the Projects browser w/o having the larger files still loaded?

I have sucessfully imported 150 Sony digital 8mm movies (each one hour in length) into iMovie as 150 iMovie events. I have since successfully converted them from their original 13 Gb (.dv) file to an exported smaller 1.3 Gb (.4mv "large file") movie that I am happy with, using the iMovie projects browser. So now I have 150 " .4mv" movies on my internal HD as well as about half of my original raw data " .dv " movies on my internal hard drive.
Due to their large size (over 2 Tb), I do not have all the larger raw data (.dv) files on my 2Tb internal drive, just about half of them. What I want to do now is to create a new project in the Projects browser for each of my kids, and reload, starting with Tape #1, each of these larger files and do a highlights movie for each of my kids, wherein I pick out smaller clips from each 1 hour .dv iMovie event and paste them into the appropriate kid's Highlights project in the Projects browser.
Here's my question: If I load the first 5 large files back onto my internal HD, and paste in various shorter clips into each of my kids' Highlights project, and then if I delete those first 5 large files (they are backed up on 2 other 3Tb external HDs), can I keep doing this (reloading the next 5 large .dv files to work with), and ultimately take each of my kid's Highlights project and export as a .4mv movie EVEN THOUGH the earlier large .dv files are no longer on my internal HD, OR does my iMac need to have all these larger files loaded on my internal HD for me to eventually export each of my kid's Highlights project to a .4mv movie?
I have a 2011 era 27" iMac desktop w 2Tb HD internal and 250 Gb flash drive, and Lion OSX and iMovie 11.

Thanks. I tested it out and you were correct. I loaded 2 .dv movies from my external HD back onto my internal HD, and got them re-imported into iMovie, took a few short clips from each of the 2 iMovie events and pasted them into a new project in the Project Browser. Then I deleted these 2 "source clips" from my internal HD, closed iMovie and then re-opened it and found that iMovie would NOT export the smaller clips for a "highlights" .4mv movie without the "source clips" being available.
I read your link on Quicktime. It talks about mostly trimming, which is what I did with each iMovie event before I took each one as a project to export as a smaller .4mv file. But if I use Quicktime (do I need QT Pro or basic), what advantage is it to me to use QT over iMovie (I must admit I am a novice at iMovie and have never used QT or QT Pro as a tool)? Will it then convert any edits I make to a .m4v movie or do I need iMovie to do that?
Does QT allow trimming multiple segments out of a movie during one edit session, or can you only do 1 at a time? By that I mean that, for example, when I use Sonys Picture Motion Browser for my .mts movies, you can only set one Start and one End point for each edit/trim you do: it does not allow you to set multiple Start Stop points like iMovie allows in its Event or Project browser. You can only do one "trim" at a time, save it and then reopen to do another trim. not very useful.

HT2966 I changed a repeating event and this ****** DELETED 10 events. How to restore this from timemachine backup?

On the iPhone you can change how many times an event is repeated. I changed that number from 10 to 11 and it automatically deleted all my 10 events and replaced the valuable notes with *nothing*.
I do daily backups with timemachine, but cant seem to find a way to restore the events - since I already made a lot of changes today.
next question: is there an ical alternative, which is actually safe to use for business?

For anyone else that may be in a similar situation, I can confirm that this does actually work.
I am unsure why I was not able to mount the original sparseimage that I copied to the USB drive before, but I have gone through the entire process again and I could successfully mount the TM sparseimage onto my MacBook and restore files from within it using TimeMachine to my Mac.
This is a Disaster Recovery solution only needed for if both my NAS and Macbook get stolen or damaged so I am happy with this solution for now.
I will try the restore process several more times from my monthly backups to reassure myself that the first failure to mount the sparse image was an anomaly.
This is the process that I have tested:
Configure MacBook to backup to TimeMachine Service running on QNAP NAS device.
Perform regular backup of QNAP NAS Device (Linux) including the TimeMachine backup data to an external USB drive with encryption enabled and store this device safely off-site
In time of loss of both NAS and MacBook, Time Machine data can be recovered to another Mac without the need of the NAS using the following process:
Mount the external drive containing the backup of the NAS filesystem (ext4) which is encrypted onto a Linux host so it is readable - use the cryptsetup luksOpen options to access the encrypted filesystem then mount it.
Mount a n empty HFS+ formatted USB drive on the Linux host
Use Rsync to copy the sparsebundle from the external NAS drive backup disk to the root of the USB Drive
Insert the HFS+ formatted USB containing the sparesbundle into the Mac's USB port
Double click the sparsebundle to mount it onto the Mac as a Volume
Using Alt button and the TimeMachine icon, select use alternative backup disk and you should see the TM backup in the sparsebundle
Enter TimeMachine and you should be able to restore any/all files
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to LaPastenague for pointing me in the direction of some of the answers I needed.

How can I delete old back-ups SAP/Oralce from TSM?

Hi all,
How can I set an expiration date for old back-ups so that they are deleted when reached that date? For our R/3 Enterprise 4.7 on Oracle 9.2.0.7 / AIX 5.2 we use TSM & Backint.
BR0278I Command output of '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/backint

expir_period will not work when using a SAP agent for backup (backint).
for TSM, you cannot set an expiration date, but you can an expiration based on number of versions.
check http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsmerp.doc_5.3.3/fbrg53m039.htm
you need to set a value for MAX_VERSIONS in your init[SID].utl file. Then, you init[SID].bki file will keep a count for versionning.
if you use both brbackup and brarchive, I would adive you use mutiple UTL files... and put links to multiple BKI files by adapting parameter CONFIG_FILE in your UTL file.

I got a new phone and it won't back up anything on to my icloud because it says there isn't enough storage space, can I delete old back ups?

I am not good with technology at all. I upgraded my 3GS to a 4S and now it won't back up to my iCloud. it keeps telling me that the icloud is full and I don't have enough room to back it up.I was wondering if there is away to delete the old back ups in order to free up space?

If you no longer need the backups, you can delete them by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of device you want to delete the backup for (under Backups at the top), then tap Delete Backup. This will permanently delete it from your account, freeing up the storage it occupies.

Can't delete files backed up in Time Machine

I use Time Machine to back up my MacBook Pro to NAS on my home wifi. I have a large file in my downloads folder that I have moved elsewhere and I don't need backed up. When I enter Time Machine's 'Star Wars' window and select the file and choose to delete all instances of it from the drop-down from the 'cog' icon in the Time Machine Finder, then I OK the warning that I can't undo the delete. Then - nothing happens! The file remains there! My question is: how does one delete files from Time Machine?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

... Can anyone recommend a brand of NAS, such as Synology, that works properly with TM backups?
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected either to the source Mac, or a Mac on your local network.
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using third party NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless in the dire circumstances in which they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

How can i delete a back up

Can anyone help me? I accidentally deleted a text i wanted to keep yesterday. Looking on websites, understand that they aren't actually deleted but still there, so followed instructions. Said to stop automatic syncs when attach to itunes as would loose everything. Choose a back up i did in Nov 2011 and continued. Much to my alarm i have some of the text i lost ie) Nov 2011 backward have lost everything i have done for the past two months. All texts, phone calls, calendar entries, notes, sms have all gone. Everthing ends at Nov 2011. How can i go back an delete back up, what did i do wrong??

Well, touch copy is good for archiving things, but you cannot put them back on the phone, such as SMS. I would still backup things on the phone. I would also recommend doing a regular sync and make sure all of your other content is saved where it should be, i.e. photos imported to the computer from the Camera Roll so you don't lose them, contacts and calendar synced to a supported application on the computer and a regular backup of your iTunes library. Then, make sure you do a regular backup of the computer, so should the HDD on the computer fail, you have the ability to restore your old data to a new computer. It was the lack of a regular backup that put you in the situation that you were in. I backup and sync my phone almost every other day. Whenever I charge the phone and it is connected to my computer I do a sync, which includes the automatic backup at the beginning. Worse I should lose should I have to restore, one days worth of data.

Deleting a single instance of a repeating event deletes the series

Has anyone noticed that deleting a single instance of a repeating event (e.g. deleting tomorrow's occurrence of a regular, weekly meeting) deletes the entire series? This is when using the calendar via the iCloud.com website. I've had this happen at least 3 times.
Configuration:
Ubuntu Linux 10.10
Google Chrome 12.0.742.91
Andrew

This happens without iCloud when you sync your calendar to MS Outlook/Exchange - it always deletes the whole series and makes it so I can never delete items from iPhone or iPad. IOS calendar is pretty lousy - won't let you edit things like the reminder time or location of the meeting, etc. when it comes through sync with Outlook/Exchange.
Wish Apple would actually make their calendar app useful or let a third party release a better one. Same goes for managing Tasks. E-mail is pretty good, but Calendar and Task management is lousy. And we don't even get to rate these apps like we do 3rd party apps.

My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library

My iPad music seems to be corrupt. Can I delete everything including the back up so I can re-load afresh from my iTunes library
In my iTunes library on my Macbook Air everything is OK but whenever I syncronise after an update a back up is made and then re-loaded.
Can I delete this back up somehow and load direct from my iTunes Library ?

Depending upon what problem that you are having with the Music app, have you tried closing the Music app via the iPad's taskbar and seeing if that helps ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't help then you can delete your music from your iPad and re-sync it back to it. A device's backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music and Videos apps, when you do a restore it gets those from your computer's iTunes library and not from within the actual backup, so deleting the backup shouldn't make any difference to that - if you want to delete the iPad's backup from your Mac then go into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), and on the Devices tab select the iPad backup and click the 'Delete Backup' button.

Thanks, but that didn't do it.
When it was working, there was a small Firefox icon in the lower right corner...it showed a pop-up when someone tried to load a cookie, described it and deleted it. Yahoo was trying to load cookies every 15 minutes or so, this feature alerted me and described the action as 'self-destructed'. Would like to get it back....
Thanks, Tedzo
