How to search for an event in calendar application

Can someone provide steps to search for an event in the calendar application? I had tried using the magnifying glass option on the phone but this immediately takes me to the internet. I have tried using the edit button but there is no search options. I tried doing this while the calendar application was open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OOPS!!
I posted my question in the wrong community

I have a iphone 5. How do I search for a event from 2013 under search? I do have "all events" selected

I have a iphone 5. How do I search for a event from 2013 under search? I do have "all events" selected

I would check, but I believe I have read that the calendar only lets you search back in the current year. You might find additional information about that in the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
What happens if you go back to a month in 2013, do you see a date with any events in it? I'm not saying the calendar is deleting data, just that you cannot search earlier than the current year.

IPhone calendar faile to search for future events more than 1 year

Dear guys,
I can't search for future events more than 1 year later.
Is it a common scenario?
Many thanks!

Turning off alarms for past events

I use .Mac to sync my iCal calendars among three computers. Two are laptops which are not always on and one is a Mini which is always on. I use alarms for most of my events and the Mini sends out these alarms just fine. The problem is that when I open iCal on one of the laptops, it sends out a bunch of alarms for past events.
I have the "Turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box checked on both my laptops. And the iCal scheduler (can't find the exact name) is not running on the laptops and is not in my login apps list.
What I want is to able to continue to sync iCal but not have the laptops send out alarms. I don't want to delete events after they have past because I like to see past events in the calendar.
Is it possible to continue to sync via .Mac but turn off all alarms on the laptops? Or is it possible to delete the alarm associated with an event after the event is past? This would not work 100% of the time since I could open iCal on the laptop before the latest sync occurred and the alarm would still be there but it would cut down on the number of old alarm events. This may require an AppleScript and I am totally ignorant about coding AppleScript.
Thanks.

Searching iCal for past events

I am trying to search iCal for a past event. The search window only is giving me events in the current month or in the future. I am on an iMac running 10.8.5. If i manually go back a month I can see an instance of this event that is not showing up in the search results. If I try Spotlight I get the same results. I feel like this is something simple that I am missign but I just can't figure it out!

I suppose this should be Searching Calendar ver. 6.0 not iCal--sorry!

Is there a way to search for new events in ical

i am after a way to search for all new events within a certain parameter in ical....so you can see which events have dropped into your calendar recently...not sure if this is an ical feature or automator. thanks. Simon

What Anjaneai also means to say is that Adobe has neglected to provide a Usage button for variables as they have for Advanced Actions and Library objects so that you can see exactly where they are used. This is a BIG problem when you have a lot of variables and AAs to search through.
By all means log an enhancement request and add your voice asking for this VERY necessary feature.

IOS 7 Calendar alerting for past events

Has anyone else experienced this ...
At 9:30 this morning (03-Oct) I got an alert for an event from last week (26-Sep).
Then at 10:00 I got an alert for another event from last week (26-Sep).
Upon examining the events, I saw the alerts set as:
9:30 event – alert 1 = one week before
10:00 event – alert 1 = 1 day before, alert 2 = 1 week before
After upgrading to iOS7 I set the default calendar alert to "1 week before" – that might explain why the second event's alert 2 is set earlier than alert 1.
But it doesn't explain the "you were supposed to be doing this last week" alert popping up.
Any thoughts (other than some date arithmetic gone awry)?

iPilot1 - after I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 I got an even bigger surprise - the default alert time for any new event I created was "7 days after". I kid you not. At the top of the list of options, before "None".
However I just went back to the Calendar settings to check the default alert time, and nothing was ticked.
I chose "1 week before", and Hey Presto, new events default to "1 week before".
Of course, I won't know this has worked for sure until I get an alert.

ICal keeps sending alarms for past events and won't let me delete items from calendar, I hit delete but the event just keeps multiplying on my calendar?

iCal just started repeatedly sending me alarms a couple of days ago. I thought deleting the event from my calendar would help but it won't let me delete them, they just keep multiplying in my calendar. Help please

Hello again,
Well I seem to have overcome the problem, but not easily, and not by identifying the cause. I don't like that I don't know what caused the trouble. I make no guarantees, but this is what I did (on an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Be sure to create backup copies of your files first:
[Note: before you do any of this, you may want to try running Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities/) and run the "Repair Permissions" option. See if that solves anything, but it didn't for me]
a) I exported my iCal as an archive: Menu item, "File/Export/iCal Archive...". This won't likely do you any good, though, as something was wrong with it and I could not re-import it. But try anyhow.
b) After backing them up, I deleted the folders and contents inside the Calendars folder: "Users/<your user name>/Library/Calendars/<subdirectories>". To create a backup, right-click on the Calendar folder and choose "compress Calendars" from the pop-up menu. Then drag the folder contents into the trash.
c) After creating backup copies, delete (drag into the trash) these preferences files found in "Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences" (the slashes delimit the folder names):
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.<some convoluted hex number>.plist
d) Restart your computer;
e) Launch iCal and reimport the individual calendar files you exported earlier.
Hopefully all is well.
Let me emphasize again that you will not likely succeed in reimporting the calendar archive. In the first place it likely contains corrupted data that caused your trouble in the first place. So you will need to import the individual calendars that have been exported. Be very certain to export these individually first.
And if you want to make doubly certain, then copy and paste some of your important and key events into a TextEdit file and save that file in case you don't succeed.
Perhaps you subscribed to some online calendar? If I recall correctly I had imported a calendar when the World Cup Soccer series was happening; I speculate that might have contributed to the issue. I wish I could have found exactly what caused the trouble. It may have been some older, less compatible format that was retained through a series of Mac OS updates.
Good luck.

Icalendar keeps sending notification reminders for past events that have deleted. These were set up as reoccurring, but I no longer need. I have a mac which has my calendar synced. Also use google calendar. What do I need to do to fix this?

PLEASE HELP

Doing that to hold an application to a desktop seems to work for me, but a more annoying problem is when I assign Mail to the far left desktop space and then then go full screen. Mail is suddenly shoved to the far right desktop. I gotta say, as a Unix admin that remembers the wonderful simplicity of OpenLook, this is really annoying.
And why can't I use a 2D grid anymore for my spaces?
Mission Control looks pretty, but it is a huge step backwards compared to what virtual desktop software could do 16 years ago.

Can't search for events in iCal

I always thought that I could search for an event in iCal by typing a text into the Search space and then would get a list of all events with that text; at least that's what I think did happen in the past.
If I do that now, no matter which text I type I do get a table with Date, Type, and Title below the calendarr, but with no events listed in it. ??? Did I inadvertently change some settings which prevent events to be listed?
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Veit

Are you saying that the search in iCal (Leopard) will only work when Spotlight has indexed your computer and the iCal events box is checked? That means that iCal is not searching independently of Spotlight, but really it is using the "Spotlight" index/database?
Was this true in TIGER? - I just started my PBG4 which is TIGER and the seach is quick - includes everything if nothing requested. OK it has SpotLight, too-- if I UNtick Events & To Do items in TIGER will I then have no search ability in iCal??? (I guess I could try that and the re-tick it later??)
My MB with Leopard is actually updating right now, and says it has 5 hours left - since I added my HD to the list then removed it (to get it to generate a new index). So in 5 hours I can re-test to see if iCal can search (and find something!) --in Leopard.
Would be great to have a true LIST along with the DAY-WEEK-MONTH tabs in iCal-- we have that with my iPod Touch-- OK it's LIST - DAY - MONTH on the iPod - no "week" but I prefer that to what I have now on the iCal 3.0.6 (Leopard).
Comments welcome - and my little ALARM icon/notifier on the event itself is GONE in iCal Leopard- used to like that in 2.0.5 - could see which events had alarms and see if I'd forgotten to set one. How to get THAT back???
Best regards,

Search iCal for all events in a specific calendar?

Is it possible to search for all events that I have listed in a specific calendar? For example, I have one set up as "guests" and would like to see a list of all the events I have under that. I tried doing an ical search for guests, but nothing came up, as that's only the calendar's title.
Thank you.

I thought I was the only klutz who seemed to remember I used to be able to do this, but couldn't figure it out now. This is the second key feature for me (the other being the event info drawer) that's been dropped in iCal 3.0. I'm not sure if the development team is just basically misguided, or if Apple's excuse in the summer about putting off Leopard because programming talents were stretched too thin was, and still is, exactly what's happening.
So disappointing.

Possible to Search for a Calendar

Somehow I ended up with Calendars named "Untitled", "Untitled 2" and "Untitled 3". I don't know how these showed up and don't know what events could be associated with them. Don't want to just delete these Calendars without knowing what they have in them.
Is it possible to search for all events within a particular Calendar? Or maybe organize/sort events by Calendar?

smilingdog,
Enter the " character in the iCal Search field which is located in the upper right hand corner of the iCal window. When you do that you will be presented with a results pane in the bottom of the iCal window. The results pane will have four columns at the top (Calendar/Date/Type/Title). Click on the "Calendar" column to see the results organized by specific calendars.
Alternately, you can (⌘ + click) on any calendar in the "CALENDARS" source pane to deselect all calendars, then the calendar that you want to display, and enter the " character in the search field. That will display only the entries associated with that particular calendar.
As a side note, the search field has a magnifying glass icon with a small down arrow which can be used to specify what items to search in.
;~)

Search for events in the past

Is there a way to search for events in the past? If not, is there another calendar application with this feature that would be able to sync with my iPod Touch? This feature is one that I must have. I apologize if I come off as whining but my Palm calendar/address book was able to do this.
Thx

Hi helenhopelouise,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The search feature within the Calendar app should show all events, past and present. First, check to see if you are syncing All Events in your Calendar app. Tap on the Settings app on your Home Screen. Then choose Mail, Contacts Calendars. Scroll down to the Calendar section to see your options.
Next, try the "Spotlight Search" of all of the data on your iPhone to see if the calendar event you are looking for appears.
Finally, try quitting all of your open apps and restarting and/or resetting your iPhone.

How to search for events that collide?

Anyone now a way to find (search for) events, in calenders, that collide?

Hi Lasse,
I hope you don't mind an Applescript solution to your problem. I'm assuming all your events are held in one calendar.
The script here will ask for the calendar name, check all future events in that calendar and highlight any that clash.
Try out the script by pasting the text below into a new Script Editor window (Applications>Applescript>Script Editor) and pressing "Run". If you want to keep it, save it as file format "application".
Hope this helps.
