Dismiss repeated alert windows in the Calendar
Authored by: Frederico on Feb 04, '14 08:14:56PM

Last time this happened to me I just force quit iCal, recognizing that there were no unique events in need of import. That said, if there were only one unique event amongst hundreds, this ugly solution would do the trick.

More useful would be a script or method to compare an import prospect to an existing database. Seems like this would be doable by exporting the current ics and running a compare. how to extract or update those differences, let alone assess which to accept as new is yet another level of difficulty.

I'm glad i don't see this problem often. (;

The thing I didn't realize was that importing into the reminders app was the same as importing into the Calendar app. In fact, I think it was perpetrated by iCloud - syncing upon first run - it had asked me if I wanted to sync my reminders, but I'd already synced them in iCal. So it wasn't obvious to me what would happen.
