Why do I have multiple birthdays showing in iCal on my iPad using iOS 6?

For some reason some of my birthdays are showing up as duplicates in my iCal on my iPad.  I have my calendars sync'd with Google Calendars and one of those calendars is my birthday callendar that I have setup in Google Canlendars.  Only some of the birthdays show up duplicated and others do not.  I can't seem to find any rhym or reason to why some are and some are not.  Anybody having the same problem or have a solution?

The Calendar app pulls birthdays from the Contacts app.
If you also have another Birthday calendar with the same birthdays, they will show up twice.

  • Why do I have multiple birthdays listed in ical for one person

    Other devices show only single birthdays (iPhone, iPad, web based login to iCloud).  Just the MBP shows multiple birthdays that are listed for individuals and usually three per individuals=.

  • Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my Iphone?

    Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my iPhone?

    It is probably related to your calendar syncing with certain services and/or apps that end up duplicating the entries. Investigate your sync settings like iCloud, facebook, etc or apps like Cobook which can sync your contacts/to facebook and gmail contacts. The birthdays for all of those would then show up in ical. If there is some kind of redundancy happening it might even resync the same info from the same place multiple times. If you can zero in on a particular service or app that might be the cause, try temporarily unsyncing it to ical/address book and see what happens.

  • HT201401 i have a birthday showing in my calendar listed as an all day event and it is incorrect how can I delete it. When clicked on does not bring up the edit feature. The vodaphone shop thinks it has synced with my facebook app.

    hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

  • Why do I have a E showing where my wifi symbol should be.

    why do I have an E showing where my wifi symbol should be on my iphone.

    Because your iPhone is not connected to a wi-fi network or the wi-fi symbol would be shown.
    "E" means your iPhone is connected to your carrier's EDGE network for internet access.

    And what is the point of all this? CS3 is now 7 years old and Office 2003 just the same. Yes, sometimes software has bugs and compatibility issues. Beyond there is nothing here to discuss on either end, given the circumstances...

  • Why do I have multiple entries on my calender

    Why is that I have multiple entries on my calender of the same appointment or holiday since I started using I cloud.  How do I clean up my calender and not have future duplication on my devices.
    I am using the I pad 2 and Iphone 4S
    Thanks

    Click the calendars button in the top left corner of calendar, look to see if you have groups of calendars other than iCloud. I only have iCloud calendars on my phone so can't show you what I mean, but I have other groups on my iCal application on my mac which is sort of similar.

  • How to have multiple movies show in same window on same web page

    Hi folks,
    Here's what I mean: I have a web page with several pix on left side, and an embedded QT player window on the right. I want my users to click on one of the pix, and the associated quicktime movie shows up in the player window and starts playing (see player code below--pretty standard).
    So far, the only way I can think of to do this is to have multiple identical pages, the only difference being each one of them has a different movie in the "embed source" tag (so when you click on one of the pics it takes you to the new page, but to the user it will appear as if it's the same page).
    But for ease of modifying this page in the future (which I'll be doing a lot), I'm looking for a more elegant solution. Anyone know of a way to do this, using scripting or...??
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    player code:
    object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" name="movietitle" alt="quicktime movie player" width="320" height="256">
    <param name="controller" value="true" />
    <param name="autoplay" value="true" />
    <param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />
    <embed src="movies/light1qt6.mov" width="320" height="256" name="movietitle" controller="true" autoplay="true" pluginspage=" http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed>

    This is beyond anything I have ever tried. But I think I know what you have in mind, and you should be able to do it using JavaScript. I did it with still images on this page:
    http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2005/ohfair2.html
    You would need to give the movie container a name so that you can access it from JavaScript, and you have the added problem of needing to control the QuickTime object from JavaScript. Have a look at the QuickTime JavaScript API; it might be helpful:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/quicktime/Conceptual/QTScripting_JavaSc ript/index.html
    In spite of the code on that gallery page I linked above, I really don't speak JavaScript, and I barely understand how my own code works. But I think JavaScript will allow you to do what you want to do, and you can probably even write a custom controller for the movie right into your web page.

  • Why do i have multiple iPhoto libraries

    I am trying to migrate my iphoto library to a new location but i have 3 libraries to choose from. why were the others created? one library is 90gb, the other 2 are 22 gb
    Should i just delete the other 2?

    No way for anyone but you to know - you have multiple iPhoto libraries because you have created them - only you know when and why
    And only you know if they are ok to trash - depress teh option key, launch iPhoto and use the select library window to open and check each one and then desiece if you want to keep it or delete it

  • Why do I have multiple copies of the same song?

    When I open my iTunes on my iPad I have multiple copies of the same song.  It seems that when I connect and sync to my computer that it does not recognize that the song is already on my iPad, so it sends another copy.  When I try to delete the second copy from my iPad by swiping to the left and hitting delete, it doesn't delete and I see the cloud icon like it wants to down load if from the cloud automatically again.  How can I clean this mess up?

    Hi R_3S,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your Music application is showing your previously purchases music, with the cloud icon, on your iPad as well as what is synced onto it. Please follow the instructions in the following article to turn off Show All Music.
    iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Have a great day,

  • I have multiple phantom books in ibooks on my iPad.They are no longer on my mac, but continue to show up as multiple ghost- unfinished downloads on iPad

    I have multiple copies of phantom books in ibooks on my ipad. By phantom I mean, that they appear to be partially downloaded. They will not resume downloading or allow deletion. None of these books are on my mac, they have been deleted. These are books were not purched from the apple store, they are simply book files that I had on my mac. Any ideas on how to rid myself of these pesky epub and pdf files? Thanks Dan

    Hello dallentownsend
    Try deleting iBooks app from your iPad and then download the app again to remove any previous books that were downloaded or attempted to download. Then just download your books purchased again.

  • Why do I have multiple copies of Pages

    I should say that this is not specifically related to Pages, I have multiple copies of all the iWorks apps on my computer but because I could not find a general iWorks forum I decided just to post about Pages with the asumption that it would be the same for the other iWorks apps. 
    I have the pre-update iWork 09 version 4.5 that was installed from Disk when i first bought my Mac.  I have since upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and upgraded pages (and iWorks) to the new iCloud versions 5.2
    When I go into my Applications folder, I see a subfolder in there called iWork 09, and in that folder is the old 4.5 versions, but I also see the new versions of the apps as seperate apps in my Applications folder.
    See pictures
    Basically all I want to know is if I App Delete the old iWorks 09 versions, will it affect my access to the updated versions, because it seems to me like I have two sets of iWorks apps (one old and one new) and of course I only need the new one

    iWork 09's Pages is version 4.3. Yes you have to versions. They hare 2 different applications with the samme name. I wouldn't delete iWork 09 as it has about 100 more features than Pages has. But if you have it on a disk you can as you always have to possbility to install it again from the disk.
