Read only items

[windsurfer]

I am in my calendar and there is an entry that i want to delete, when i select delete i get a message "Please disable read only mode using Edit Menu"
When i look in the Edit menu there is an option That says Read only and it is checked but it is greyed out. So now what ?

Also i don't need any entries read only so how can i prevent that ?

Please go to Tools-> Options-> Subscriptions and remove Subscriptions- those might be the cause of read-only items.

There are no subscriptions

I have the same issue. Curious of the fix.

Thanks

I was told that they are set to read only in Google but i don't sync my calendar with Google.

It would be nice if there were some instructions from PIM on this kind of issue. The help file is for all intents and purposes pretty useless.
I went into my calendar that is associated with the sync account in PIM and i have myself as the owner yet i can't delete an entry. Of course my slogan "Nothing is easy with Google"

I understood you have Google synchronization set up. Depending on it's settings it may also be the cause of read-only items in Calendar. Stopping synchronizing Google Calendar and synchronization should remove those read-only items.

I have never synchronized the Google calendar so i am not sure where that is coming from. Those items were setup in the free version of PIM which in my mind shouldn't make a difference . and i never synchronized in the free version at all.

It is not clear- you are saying "I went into my calendar that is associated with the sync account in PIM" and then "I have never synchronized the Google calendar"
Please post screenshot of such read-only item, and of Tools-> Options-> Synchronizations-> Google window.

Where did i say "I went into my calendar that is associated with the sync account in PIM" ?

[DavidN]

I believe he is saying that the calendar item you are seeing is coming from a calendar feed somewhere and you need to edit that calendar from that feed.

[windsurfer]

Well then i would like to know where it is coming from, i entered all the information in the calendar in the free version of PIM and used that file to generate the one in PIM plus. It has never been synced with Google and i have no other program on my computer that contains that information.

[DavidN]

I have Google sync setup for my calendars. As an example, I have the weather forecast feed for my area to that calendar. I cannot edit that or change the read only status on that feed from within EPIM. It has to be done on the actual Google calendar. I would check subscriptions and syncronizations just to verify that there is nothing there. Aside from that, I am just not sure. Seems like that event is somehow coming from outside EPIM.

As mentioned above, please go to Tools-> Options-> Syncronizations, make a screenshot and post it here. Right now it is confusing to understand.
