Birthday's appearing twice in calendar app after adding to contacts

Hi all,
I recently started adding birthdays to my contacts on my phone. After doing this, each birthday appears twice in the calendar app (on the birthday calendar with gift icon). This also creates a duplicate of that contact in my contact list. These duplicates do not appear on iCloud.com, just my phone. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
PS - Using iPhone 4 running iOS 5
Thanks!

Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps). Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior. The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere. Specific syncs are not relevant.

ICloud Account appears twice in Calendar & Notes

A few of my iCloud Accounts appears twice in Calendar & Notes but when I go to system preferences I see them only once.
So, in both applications I see all duplicated — I can deselect a calendar in iCal but it's more annoying in Notes where you can't click what you want to see.
When I want to go and delete the duplicate account from the main preferences I only see each account once.
Crazy, huh?

On the iCloud website I see everything alright, one of each, no duplicates.
On my Mac:
- Notes, no notes at all...
- iCal: no duplicates, but I see a few calendars twice. When I click Preferences - Accounts, I see no duplicate accounts!
- Address Book is a mess, some contacts appear like seven times, I looked for duplicates and merge them many times.
thanks

My iPad contacts disappeared after adding a contact

My IPad 2 contacts just disappeared after adding a contact. What will I do aside from syncing? Are there any other solutions?

Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

No today highlight in Calendar App after Yosemite upgrade

Since installing Yosemite, the weekly view in the Calendar app no long shows today highlighted (except for the date in red). I preferred the old way with the entire day highlighted. Is there any way to get that back?

inkydmark,
You may wish to roll back from Yosemite and wait to see whether the issues will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone. Yosemite was made long after CS4, so it may be difficult.
There is a way round an even worse issue shown in post #2 here:

Have you restarted the iPad? some have reported that restarting it, by holding down the sleep and home key until you see the silver apple, can resolve the issue.

Edit option does not appear after adding a contact from inbox

i have outlook 2013 32 bit with an exchange account. Normally i can hover over a contact. click on downward arrow at extreme right, this will give me the full details. I will get a add button. on clickin on add button , it shows editable fields
and i can save the contac. after saving instead of add button, i will see the edit button until a move the focuc or contacts get minimized. however for some reason recently the edit option does not appear at all. right after saving opption goes back to add

Hi,
It may be synchronization issue.
Please first check if this user has been added to contact list. If they have been in contact list then restart outlook to check if this add button still exists.
Sometime we add user to contact lists, even users have added to contacts list, the Add button also appears instead of Edit button.
If this issue persists, please let me know.
Best Regards.

New Calendars appear in iPhone Calendar App

No matter how many times I delete them, two new calendars keep cropping up in my calendar list: "Inbox" and "Home." I don't know what they are for (there are no events assigned to them), but they are very irritating. In addition, the iPhone simply will not remember the default calendar setting. It seemingly at random changes the default to one of the other calendars available instead of what I have set it to. Total software restores and erasures have not fixed this issue. Advice would be appreciated.

OK, I discovered that the Inbox calendar is created by another application (Appigo Sync) I have installed. Unfortunately, no such luck with the more annoying issue — the default calendar that won't stick. Is there any way to fix this or is it just buggy programming on Apple's part?

How do you get the list of Passbook apps after adding a pass/coupon/card?

After you add a pass/coupon/card to the Passbook app, the button to show the list of Passbook apps in the App Store disappears. How do we get to that list in the App Store app on the iPhone?

Don't know when they will do then, probably add a new category. But right now that's the only option.

Hi Ruhel_1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend trying some of the steps in this article:
OS X Mavericks: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13975
Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of OS X.
Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.If you recently updated the app or OS X, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.
Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test. These tools can tell you if hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test
Restart your Mac in safe mode.Start up in safe mode
Use Disk Utility to repair your computer’s internal disk.

Itunes connect, cannot save app after adding a build

Hi all,
Currently my app status is "Prepare for Submission". Yesterday I added the first build to my app. I can see the build in "prerelease". So I add the build to my app page and click "save". But save always fail with following messages.
There was an error saving changes. Please try again later or contact App Store Developer Support.
Can you please help me and explain what the problem is? I can modify other text descriptions and that saved ok.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, disabling the file preview works. I was crossing my fingers there was some setting I could have changed in the Acrobat preferences.

-NEED HELP- iOS 6.1.2 in Calendar App for Adding Events BUG (And Spelled Incorrectly: Invitees)

Dear Everyone, When I just add the events, I type the name and location, adjusting the time start and end, when I sliding up it looks like for spelled incorrectly: Invitees (Invites), and need bug fixes. I already feedback iPod Touch Team from my computer. I know Apple will fix it. Thanks, 1004blueAppleSupportCommunties (1004blueAppleSupportCommunities)

"Invitee" means an invited Person. This is the section where you list your "Invitees." It's not a bug, nor a spelling error. It's 100% correct as it is.

App appearing twice on ipad2 with iOS7

Hi Everyone,
I have an iPad2 which I have updated to iOS7, ever since I have an issue with some applications appearing twice. The Apps have been auto updated, and the old app icon remains but is greyed out, the new one is present and works, but I cannot remove, or launch the old app icon and it is driving me crazy?
TIA
Ducko73

That's a new one to me - definitely odd. Have you tried a reset? Press and hold the on/off/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple startup logo appears.
See if that changes anything.
