Calendar delegation issue

Hi all,


I'm hoping someone can help please?


My dad has Apple Mac for work and he has Exchange account for emails, calendar etc and he shares his calendar with a colleague and vise-versa. However for some reason he has multiple versions of her calendar in his side view despite only having her down as one account?


How can that be and how do we remove it?

According to this article : Calendar (El Capitan): Add or delete calendars

Delete a calendar

  1. Click the calendar’s name in the calendar list.If you don’t see the calendar list on the left, choose View > Show Calendar List.
  2. Choose Edit > Delete.Some calendars can’t be deleted.
    • You can’t delete delegated calendars, but you can stop showing them in the main Calendar window. For more information, see Share calendar accounts.
    • If you can’t delete a calendar for a particular calendar account, try deleting the calendar on the account provider’s website. For example, to delete a Google calendar, go to google.com.
    • If a calendar account has only one calendar (not counting other people’s calendars you’re sharing), you can’t delete that last calendar.

The screen shot you posted shows Kate's account as a delegate. It shows three more that do not have titles.


Are you certain these are Kate's accounts? Could they be other calendars on your dad's account or from somewhere else?


If they are Kate's account, does she have multiple calendars intertwined and pointing back to themselves like this? Does she show multiple calendars when she looks at this?


One possible fix is to write down all the information for all the accounts, delete the accounts and add them back in, in hopes of fixing the Accounts database. The individual appointments should stay, it is only the Sharing mechanism you are re-building.
