Replies to invites and deleting calendar events

This is for Apple and whoever else wants to chime in:
I would like Apple to provide the functionality for me to stop sending replies that accept, decline etc... invites. After the nightmare I went through with the mobile me upgrade (which sent over 1000 emails to people for old invitations when Apple helped me fix it) - I no longer can use ical reply checker. I own my calendar and do not think the software should be deciding without my knowledge and without keeping a copy - who to send emails to.
Also - I want to be able to delete invites off my calendar that I did not create without having the creator send me an update.
Please address these issues - the calendar belongs to me and this is functionality I should have control over. People have been complaining about this for years
Thank you -

Greetings,
That behavior suggests that the events were not actually duplicated. Instead you were seeing 2 visual representations of the same real event. A ghost of sorts.
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Duplicating and deleting calendar events

When I synced my iPod Touch through iTunes, one event in iCal on my Mac was duplicated on both the Mac and iPod. I manually deleted one of the duplicated events. The next time I synced, the event was deleted altogether! How can I avoid having events be deleted automatically?

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.

How do I delete calendar event on iPad

How do I delete calendar event on iPad? I want to delete the "FIFA World Cup Fixtures" and the "Work" group of events from my Calendar. How do I do this?

I don't see that option there. Here is the Screenshot. I also want to remove "Work" from the calendar and add another one.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
The calendar however, is not easy to use.
The typing function on the phone has become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

Sometimes my notes disappear and past calendar events disappear. Is there a way to solve this problem?

''I know that I need imap instead of pop3''
That's the solution.
''but there has to be an easier way to solve this.''
I don't think so.

ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

Hi Everyone,
I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
-Currently have an iPhone 3GS
-Using Google Calendar
-Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
-Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!!

The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

ICal sends multiple emails for invites and updates to event attendees - HELP!

Every time I create or send an event in iCal, it sends multiple emails to each attendee (2-3 duplicate emails) with the same event. So if I have 3 event invitees, they get 3 emails each. All the emails are sent from the correct account in Apple Mail, and the calendar itself shows only one email address for each attendee, but for some reason the sent folder shows that each person was emailed 2-3 times. This is causing quite a problem for work, as any invite I send is clogging up inboxes with duplicate and triplicates for each attendee.
When I send a meeting acceptance, it only sends one reply, so I have no idea why it's duplicating or triplicating events when new ones are sent out or udpated by me. I can't delete my calendar without losing important events from clients or what not, so I'm not sure what to do.
Also notable:
I am NOT using iCloud calendars as I needed to create a calendar group and iCloud didn't support that.
My calendar is syncing to an FTP so that people in my main office can view and download my calendar as needed.
I am on a brand new (not even 2 mos old) MacBook Pro Retina 2013 model, with OS X 10.8.3
I am on Calendar 6.0
I can't change/update events on my calendar from one sub-calendar to another once they are created (though I can edit on my iPhone and resync). This is really annoying and I've posted about this before to no avail (thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21646850#21646850 and here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3920017?start=0&tstart=0).
For now (for this thread) I'd like any help possible in getting my calendar to send just ONE email to meeting attendees when I create and/or update an event.
Thanks!

I have the same issue. Did you get a resolution to this? Whenever I add a new person to the meeting invite iCal always resends the entire invite...it should just send the invite to newly added participants.

Accidentally Deleted Calendar Event via Decline Button

I have accidentally deleted a calendar event on more than one occasion due to having a calendar event open to view its contents and then accidentally touching the Decline button, usually when trying to scroll and putting the finger down too far (and to the right).
Has anyone else done this? Any tips for avoiding this problem other than the obvious "be more careful" or "swipe towards the left of the screen"? Is there any way to get rid of the Accept,Maybe,Decline buttons or to add an additional confirmation dialog? The only way to recover after an accidental Decline seems to be to have the invitee or someone invited to the event forward the calendar event to me again so that I can accept it and have it put back on the calendar.
The calendar events in question are those coming from a Microsoft Exchange server used at work. There is no issue with my own calendar events since these obviously do not have Accept,Maybe,Decline buttons.

Thanks. I suppose my gripe isn't so much with Microsoft as it is with Apple's U.I. design that makes it too easy to make a change that deletes the event. For other places where there is a deletion, such as the trash symbol for mail messages, you are prompted with a secondary "Delete Message" dialog which is a configurable option "Ask Before Deleting" in the Mail preferences. I would like to see a similar option for the calendar events "Ask Before Declining" or something like that since a Decline deletes the calendar event and unfortunately it is too easy to accidentally hit that Decline button.
So what is the best way to make a feature request to Apple such as the above? I'll consider the question answered if I know how to best make this suggestion to Apple.

How do I add and delete calendars to my iPod Touch 4

I'm not meaning specific events here. I want to delete the ENTIRE calandar linked to my email, along with all events connected to it. I THOUGHT I was adding birthdays to a birthday list, but no, all my events linked to my email. I don't want them to link to my email. I WANT to make a calandar for my payday events, and use a separate one for birthdays, and still another for appointments. How do I create a separate calendar for each of these things, and delete the one associated with my email?
*Edit, I finally figured out how to delete my email calendar, but now I'm stuck with a generic one I can't label instead, along with the birthday calendar. Further, when I try to add a birthday to ONLY the birthday calendar it adds it to the general instead. I WANT my birthdays on the birthdays and so on. How do I fix this??
**Sorry, for the caps but this is seriously infuriating at this point. I just want this thing to do what I tell it not what it wants to.

How can I delete calendar events that were sent by another user?

Automatically Delete Calendar Events Older Than a Day old.

I am trying to have SharePoint automatically delete any events that are a day old. I have a vacation calendar that needs to remove any older dates and only keep up to date with the new ones. I have tried to search for the solution and cant
find anything. I don't want to filter the events it needs to be removed.

Deleted calendar event alert

Hi all,
I deleted a calendar event from my iPhone 4S after the event but it keeps popping up on my phone as an alert every single day. I might have set it to recurring which I dont remember but even if I did I deleted the event itself. I sync my phone with my laptop everyday but I dont understand how I get an alert on my phone when I already deleted it.
The worse part is I cant find this event anywhere on my phone but it pops up before lunch time every single day and its so annoying now. Can someone please help me out here on what I should do to get rid of this recurring event that I already deleted. Please help me! I appreciate all your support.
Thanks! Go Apple!
Kash

If you are syncing your calendar to a supported application such as Outlook you should try replacing your iPhone calendar with your Outlook calendar using iTunes. To do this, connect your phone to your computer, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings and under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone, check Calendars then Apply to sync your phone.

HT4489 ok, so how is one supposed to delete calendar events in bulk?

I think my calendar is failing because I have too many events over the past four years. What is the best method to blow away old events in bulk to get my file down to a size that it will work again?

on the device if you open messages, highlight the newest one you want to delete, click menu button, and click delete prior, this will delete eveything older than it.
if you plug into DTM, goto backup/restore - advanced... you can completely clear the messages database
what DTM and device sofwtare do you have?
DTM- help-about
device- options- about, 3rd line down, v4.x.x.x
you can go to c:\documents and settings\(your username)\research in motion\blackberry\ and delete the intellisync folder
then go in and setup sync settings again

Delete calendar event with own notification text

Hello Admin: I am new here and I don't know if this the correct community. Please feel free to move it in the correct coummnity
Hello everyone.
may you help me?
I would like to delete a calendar event with my own notification text. Would it be possible, if I delete an calendar event that I could enter a comment before the declined message will be sent to the organizer?
Kind regards
Jane

I have a similar issue.
I am doing custom prints of each event in Calendar. I pull from each event the properties I want (time, location, summary, description) and format them nicely for an 8.5" x 11" print. I want to combine this newly created document with other files already attached to the event. However, I have not been able to figure out how to reference this property (or maybe it is considered an element?).
When opening a single Calendar event with textEdit, you can see a line that starts with "ATTACH;FILENAME=", but referencing this line in applescript eludes me.
How do we reference files that are attached to events in Calendar when using applescript?
