I can delete a single event, but this "calendar"; projects all four phases of the moon. so for instance I can delete the ones in the current, June, calendar, but it appears in all future calendars requiring me to delete it every month from now to eternity. I would like the whole *&^%$ thing to go away. It is not listed under the calendar list to the left. I do have a "subscription" calendar called "Birthdays" that lists those birthdays I have entered in my contacts. But when I click on one of the phases of the moon, it doesn't give me any URL that I can go to or any other information about the calendar.
Any further ideas?

Joan,
Have you tried this?
1. Do a search within iCal for the word "moon"
2. Once you see all occurrences of the event at the bottom of iCal, you can
click on the first event at the top, scroll all the way down to the bottom
and hold the shift key and click on the last event.
3. Now all events should be highlighted and you can just press delete on
the keyboard.
After removing the data, quit iCal, and find "Calendar Cache" file in the
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder. Drag the Calendar
Cache file, or any other "Cache" files which may be in the Calendars Folder
to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal to see if the
data remains.

At the top of the calendar on the right side there is a button called "Calendars", click on that and you will see a list of all the different events that you have created or were already there. High light the "Phases of the Moon" and right click and you will see a list of things you can do with this event of which the last one is "delete". That should solve your problem.

Hmm... I have a button called "calendars" on the upper left (not right) of my calendar, and clicking on it only shows/hides a list of my calendars. No list of events appears. What's different?
(BTW, I'm also running Mountain Lion and have no software updates pending, so I'm assuming it's the latest version of Calendar.)

Mine is the same, and from memory *all* versions of iCal/Calendar (I go
back to OS X 10.2) have a list of *calendars*, not events, in the left
sidebar. The only way I can get a list of *events* is by searching.

It's a puzzle. Attachments are invisible in my SENT MAIL, unless I use Apple+Y after selecting the sent email w attachment(s).
I trained Mail to color all emails w attachments in SENT MAIL list. Then learned to REVEAL all the paper clip icons on emails w attachments. I just could not make the attachment (jpeg) visible.
Thanks again for the Apple+Y reminder.

It retrieved all my mail from whatever source and presented it under separate headings. Messages were on my computer, under my control. I am pecking this out on my iPad as I wait to depart on vacation. I think it will be best to wait until I return to my keyboard after I get back.
In the meantime I will have to learn to love netmail.

To my understanding a Reading List is a specialized Bookmark folder.
In Safari you can bookmark web pages. If you go into Safari, in the Menu Bar you will see an item called Bookmarks, in the drop down, there are two items, Show All Bookmarks and Add Bookmark Folder. Play with those and you will see what I mean about Bookmark folders.
If what you want to do is to be able to get to the NY Times page quickly, use a bookmark. I have a folder called News, where I keep a bookmarks for the NY Times, Washington Post, SF Gate, LA Time and more.
If you want to return to a specific article, then add that to your Reading List.

Not sure what a 'Bookmark' folder is, Brent. Can you elucidate? Is it the Reading List?

Thanx to you and Pat for further responses, Brent.
As it turns out, I have seen the Bookmark Folder before, however I was not (intuitively) aware of what it did and did not pursue its use.
BF's categories (Sports, Travel, News, etcetera) already had some interesting bookmarks in them. I do not recall having ever visited some of them. Perhaps the URLs were autoloaded?
The Bookmarks Folder and the Reading List (which is accessed Safari > View) are features that I can now use more profitably.
BTW, I use Safari as my primary browser. I use Firefox mostly for financial transactions and some ancillary browsing. I downloaded Chrome for no particular reason. The only time it is used occurs when I click an Ogg file in Wikipedia. Safari can not handle such files, so Chrome automatically gets accessed to play them.
Finally, it had been my habit (and still is) to leave my laptop on 24/7. Living in Budapest I am connected to North America (mostly CBC Radio One) via the internet. I have a PRESETS iTunes folder that contains many Hungarian and NA stations —I am currently listening to ABC CLASSIC— which I can access at a click.
My laptop is connected to a tabletop sound system and I listen to it [internet radio] all night, even when I sleep.
Finally, it had been my Safari habit to accumulate windows, sometimes dozens, each with a bunch of tabs. That eventually gets cumbersome and slows down my Safari functioning, producing the dreaded beachballing.
I have a new MO happening: fewer Safari windows and frequent cookie disposal.
Thanx. Oneal

Yes, most browsers are pre-loaded with bookmarks.
Again, if you have a ton of Safari tabs open, besides eventually slowing down Safari, it will download a ton of cookies. Cookies don't slow it down. In fact, other than super or persistent cookies, I only clear out cookies every year or so, on any off my browsers, unless I visit a questionable site.

I have a PRESETS iTunes folder that contains many Hungarian and NA stations ˜I am currently listening to ABC CLASSIC˜ which I can access at a click.
My laptop is connected to a tabletop sound system and I listen to it [internet radio] all night, even when I sleep.
Finally, it had been my Safari habit to accumulate windows, sometimes dozens, each with a bunch of tabs. That eventually gets cumbersome and slows down my Safari functioning, producing the dreaded beachballing.
I have a new MO happening: fewer Safari windows and frequent cookie disposal.
Thanx. Oneal

Again, if you have a ton of Safari tabs open, besides eventually slowing down Safari, it will download a ton of cookies. Cookies don't slow it down. In fact, other than super or persistent cookies, I only clear out cookies every year or so, on any off my browsers, unless I visit a questionable site.

Thanx to you and Pat for further responses, Brent.
As it turns out, I have seen the Bookmark Folder before, however I was not (intuitively) aware of what it did and did not pursue its use.
BF's categories (Sports, Travel, News, etcetera) already had some interesting bookmarks in them. I do not recall having ever visited some of them. Perhaps the URLs were autoloaded?
The Bookmarks Folder and the Reading List (which is accessed Safari > View) are features that I can now use more profitably.
BTW, I use Safari as my primary browser. I use Firefox mostly for financial transactions and some ancillary browsing. I downloaded Chrome for no particular reason. The only time it is used occurs when I click an Ogg file in Wikipedia. Safari can not handle such files, so Chrome automatically gets accessed to play them.

After the conference, I am planning on buying a 27" iMac. I'm not sure which one I should buy and not sure how to determine which one would better satisfy my needs. I have a lot of music, photos, and other images on my present iMac. I want to transfer all those things to the new computer - plus old documents and files. I don't think I need a fusion drive. I might edit short videos, could do something in iMovie with my family history photos but nothing huge.
Don't know if this would help, but according to disk utility my present iMac has:
Capacity : 499.76 GB (499,763,888,128 Bytes)
Format : Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Available : 217.48 GB (217,479,991,296 Bytes)
Owners Enabled : Yes Used : 282.28 GB (282,283,896,832 Bytes)

Dolores,
If you are happy with your current iMac, then any of the current models should do as long as you get the same or more RAM and storage space (HD size).
Just make sure that your current apps will run on the original OS of the any new iMac you get. Remember, Rosetta no longer works in 10.7 and above. (You didn't tell us which OS you are currently using.)
Also remember the port may have changed and you may need to get an adapter to operate some of your current accessories.

Before you buy a new 27" iMac, I urge you to max the RAM memory in the new iMac. Your computer life will improve phenomenally. Editing videos and viewing photo albums requires as much RAM as possible.
Remember in Star Wars where they "Jump to Light Speed". It's a similar feel w the memory maxed. Have the store install the (maximum allowed) memory sticks before you take it home.
