iCloud holiday calendars

I haven't personally seen reports of a calendar being added as you describe, but I suggest you remove the calendar. If it happens again, you need to report it to Apple Feedback so it can be logged and put in the queue to be fixed.

Delete a calendar in browser while logged into iCloud:

1. Click Edit below the sidebar.

2. Click the Delete button to the right of the calendar’s name, then click Delete.

Am now seeing other reports of holiday calendars from different countries being added. It's either a bug in OS X or a glitch on the iCloud server.

Same here. It also appears in iPhone 7.1.1 / 7.1.2 and in Mac 10.9.3 / 10.9.4.

If i turn in Greek language the calendars disappears. Looks like a bug. Just hide it and wait Apple to fix it.

Verify your region is set correctly.

Under the Apple in the Menu bar > System Preferences > Language & Region, and choose a different region. If it's set correctly. Toggle this setting to be sure it's set correctly.

Then in Calendar, choose Calendar > Preferences, click General, then deselect and reselect "Show Holidays calendar."

The regional settings are correct. Only language change make a difference. I want English for system language, Greek regional settings and no foreign calendars.

Thanx for your answer.

Same issue here. Here is video https://db.tt/o6dLdesG

I have the problem showing on all 3 devices, Mac, iPhone & iPad. I got woken by an alarm this morning for a british holiday, unchecked it on my iPhone then found Canada on my iPad and Mac. deleted it on the mac ( the only place possible ) and reselected "show holidays calendar" in the preferences of iCal and got Mexican holidays

great fun :-)

I hope everyone here is reporting this to Apple. The forums for discussions not for feedback. You need to report it to Apple Feedback so it can be logged and put in the queue to be fixed.

I Live in New Zealand and I also am 'subscribed' to Mexican Holiday calendar. Not by my hand. This is very annoying. I cannot delete it. I can only un-tick it. Along with my very bad iOS 7.1.1 upgrade that causes my iPhone battery to rapidly go flat and also causes my wireless connection to be almost useless, I am very unimpressed and upset with Apple. What is going on Apple? It is not 'just me'. I have many friends and colleagues with the same issues. The general feeling here in NZ is not good for Apple.

7.1.2 is the latest version. Try to update to see if the battery problem goes. If not, try to "restore from backup" or restore "as new". I have no problems, 7.1.x is fine. Something happens with your device.

Thanks cheonweb. Unfortunately I have updated to 7.1.2. No difference. Apple engineers have assessed battery (no issues) and walked me through full restore (did not fix these issues). Phone was backed up using iTunes and fully restored using iTunes. All recommended methods.

Phone was fine before upgrade. This is a common issue and definitely iOS and not device-related. There are many, many examples on the web-forums of this battery-drain and bad wifi issue. And also this 'Mexican or Canadian' calendar issue. Google and see the many results. Any other advice and recommendations welcome.

I'm afraid that you have to restore as new, not from backup.

Hi everyone. I had this same frustrating problem. Not sure how I got the Holidays in Canada on my ical and it is affecting my emails (which is gmail). So any emails I would send from my phone or iPad would appear that they were sent from "Holidays in Canada". Super frustrating. I realized this calendar that I never subscribed too was on my google account calendars which I was able to unsubscribe from and it is now off my ical but when I email from my phone or iPad it still says from "Holidays in Canada". How do you get rid of this stupid thing?
