Hi Joshua,
You're welcome, but you need to also learn some stuff on your own.
1. Browse the docs: NSArray does not have a contains: method, it has a
containsObject: method. My mistake, but one that's easy to spot.
2. Check the method signatures for CalCalendar store. I believe I gave
you the right ones (in which case your imports are somehow messed up).
If I gave you the wrong ones, change them.
Also please keep all communication *on* the list.

Thanks!
I've got a few warnings though : http://snapplr.com/zm6w.
Especially with the NSPredicate.

array?
Joshua,
You need to use CalCalendarStore's method
"taskPredicateWithCalendar", passing it all calendars to get the
tasks, then compare titles and delete if necessary.
// make a predicate for all tasks
NSPredicate* allCalendarsTaskPredicate = [CalCalendarStore
taskPredicateWithCalendar:[CalCalendarStore calendars]];
// fetch all the tasks
NSArray* allTasks = [[CalCalendarStore defaultCalendarStore]
tasksWithPredicate:allCalendarsTaskPredicate];
// delete them
for(CalTask* task in allTasks)
if([arrayOfTitles contains:tast.title])
// delete task
More or less... Sorry for the typos, I am writing directly to mail.
What would be more efficient and *might* work is creating a compound
predicate out of the allTasks predicate and a predicate that would
discriminate tasks that don't have a matching title. However, I am
not sure that predicate would work with the CalendarStore. Something
to explore if the performance is an issue.
