Calendar events duplicating across iCloud Calendar categories

I have Calendar events duplicating across iCloud Calendar categories. IOW, for example, I have Halloween displaying correctly because I have the "US Holidays" category checked. Fine. I also have a category, to continue the example, called “Motorcycles" checked—obviously because I want pertinent events display under that category. The problem is that I did not put Halloween under the Motorcycles category and it repeats annually. Therefore I see Halloween displayed twice every year (with US Holidays and Motorcycles checked). Further info, if I delete Motorcycles/Halloween for 2014, it remains in place for 2015 and later years. So I don’t know how this happened and I don’t know how to resolve it. Thanks for the help.

Thank you very much for the answer. It turns out that I was under the "call support" category—and I did. While it remains a mystery why some "Holidays" and also "US Holidays" migrated over to other categories but we went onto my iCloud Calendar site to see specifically and compare to my machine Calendar. We decided to Delete a couple minor offending categories that had accepted the repeats and just dealt with it that way. So....still a mystery as to why but problem solved. Thanks again.

ICal Events Duplicating with iCloud

I'm using iCloud to sync between my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro. I noticed today that on the iCloud website, and on my devices that all past calendar events (up to the date I started using iCloud) are triplicated - there are three of each event (I assume one event was uploaded to the cloud from each of my devices, then pushed down to the others). Is there any easy way to go back and remove the duplicates?
It doesn't really matter, since these are all past events, but I still like to have an accurate record of my past calendars. Thanks!

Hi,
I too found this and did the following.
Login to iCloud and open the calendar. Now uncheck / highlight the duplicate entries and delete, if you also have your iPhone calendar open while you do this you will see if you are deleting the right ones because the events will disappear form its calendar.
Once done log out of iCloud and open iTunes, plug in the iPhone and click theinfo tab then uncheck calendars from syncing. Now click apply and sync the phone. When done open iCal on your Mac and iPad all should be good.
Also make sure you haveno duplicate account in iCal > Preferance > Accounts.

Exchange events duplicated across accounts iPhone

I am aware of the exchange issues related to declining a meeting on iOS 6, however I'm seeing another problem that I've not seen reported anywhere. I have multiple exchange accounts (work and google) defined on my iOS devices. If I recieve an invite to my primary calendar account, I'm seeing the invitaiton show up in my other exchange accounts as well. So for example, an invitation that comes to my work email ends up in both my work calendar and my personal calendar.
Have others seen this? Is this a part of the same bugs that are resulting in the meeting cancelation notices by non-owners when a calendar invitaiton is declined on iOS?
More importantly, does anyone have any recommendations (other than downgrading) to address this?
Thanks.

For what it's worth, I have both an Exchange account and a Google account configured as Exchange and I have not seen this bahavior.
Neither one of those, however, is my default calendar. My iCloud Calendar is the default. (the Google account is the default e-mail account).

IPhone calendar event issue- not synching across iCloud

Events created on my iPhone will not sync across iCloud to display on my Calendar App on my iPad or on my laptop.
iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.3 - this started yesterday with no changes having been made to any of my iCloud settings. On my laptop I get a new icon displays in my doc - see attached image, but when I click on it it just goes away and the new event is not synched. If I don't click on this icon, it eventually disappears and the event is also not added to my calendar.
I Can create events on my iPad and laptop and have them show on my phone. I can create Notes on my iPhone and they sync across devices.
I have tried changed the iPhone calendarsync settings from 'Events 1 Month Back' to 'All Events' and vice versa. On the iPhone I have turned Off synching of calendars, waited and re-enabled synching. I have cycled power to my iPhone.

Thanks Sterling - I've read through both those articles and performed all the troubleshooting steps in the iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support article. I have verified bluetooth is on, I'm on the same wireless network, same iCloud account signed into on all devices, etc.
Still new events entered on my iPhone do not get added to my laptop or iPad calendar. The handoff icon shows in my doc, but it does not put the new event onto the calendar.
Through some more testing, I have also found the same issue with reminders; if I create one on my iPhone it will not be displayed on my laptop or iPad.
Again I have no problems creating these on my laptop or iPad and having them show on All my devices, including my iPhone. And another family member can create them on their iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3 and they come across to all my devices; laptop, iPad and my iPhone5.
Please advise what else I can do, as not being able to create events or reminders on my iPhone and have them sync across devices is a problem.

Is there a way to automatically update events in the Outlook 2010 calendar when adding events in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010?

I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have synced my Outlook calendar with my iPhone using the iCloud Control Panel. This is great, but when I add an event in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 and subsequently send out invitations to the event, I get the following error:
"This meeting is not in the Calendar folder for this account. Responses to this meeting will not be tallied. Do you want to send anyway?"
I select "Yes" and the invite goes out. However, when invitees receive the email invitation, there should be 2 emails - one from Outlook and one from iCloud. The iCloud invite does not always come through. If the invitee responds to the Outlook email invite, it does not show up on the iCloud Calendar.
Is there a reason that the iCloud email is not always sent or is there a way to some how update the Windows Outlook Calendar when adding events in the iCloud Calendar through Outlook?

I have just discovered this problem as well.
Very annoying!
Now all off my meetings entered in Outlook on my desktop PC are not syncing with my ipad and iphone.
If I had known this would have happened I would never have downloaded Version 2.0 of the icloud control panel.
Does anyone know how I can get the earlier version back?

Is it (or can it become) possible to assign colors to calendar categories or even specific events?

For the 'Category' feature this could be done with a pick-list for each category; Maybe a color selection over-ride for specific events under the 'Options' menu?
This would really help calendar readability -
Thanks!

For categories, you can set the colour of a tiny bar in the event's entry in the calendar.
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Options]|Calendar|Categories
You can set the colours associated with calendars so a clumsy way to do it would be have separate calendars for the types of events you want to track. This would allow the entire entry to be coloured rather then the tiny blob associated with a category.

Events created in icloud calendar change times on iPhone.

When I add a new event in my iCloud calendar it changes times once synced to my iphone. So if I schedule something at 9am it shows up as 10am on my iphone.

Do you need Time Zone Support enabled with Calendar events on your iPhone? Do you regularly travel between different time zones?
When on, Time Zone Support always shows event dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars.
When off, events will display according to the time zone of your current location.

TS3999 Deleted past events from shared iCloud calendar. How can I get them back?

I have accidentally deleted all past events from shared iCloud calendars when removing from one mac. How can I get them back?

i deleted notes fom my old iphone and surprised to see that they have been deleted from my new phone ..how can i get them back ...i dont have any backup??
Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

How can i copy and paste events in my icloud calendar?

how can i copy and paste events in my icloud calendar?

What I do, since I have shifts with same times just different daily, is make an event for the shift. Then on the repeat option, choose custom, and then monthly choose the days I want to copy the event to. Then on the end date option I choose the end of that month, so it essentially doesn't repeat, more of the copy and paste effect. Hope this helps, cheers.

How do i remove duplicate events from my icloud calendar

so i synced my ipad then my iphone and now i have 3 of each event on my icloud calendar.
this is %!@$ ridiculous.

Once you click to open it, in the menu bar at the top, click File, then Print:
Then you should see the window pictured in my first post here. In that window, click Continue after selecting the date you want to print (under the Time range header), and then it will ask you which printer to print to. Click Print and that's all.
May I suggest attending a workshop at your local Apple Store to learn your way around iCloud... Make a reservation

Publishing multiple calendar categories into one calendar

Is it possible to publish multiple calendar categories into one calendar on my .Mac?

David,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean with "categories". Maybe you want to achieve what I described in "Publishing more than one calender" #1, 04:11pm Oct 19, 2005 CDT

Calendar categories...c-mon Apple.

Dear Apple,
As advanced a piece of technology as the ipad is, why can't I add calendar categories right from the ipad without having to sync to a desktop? I don't want to make my ipad co-dependent on my desktop for things like that. Is that not a simple fix? A little plus sign, add category...and done.

These are user-to-user discussions, not direct communication with Apple. You might want to try posting to http://www.apple.com/feedback to get your request into Apple's hands.

Syncing iCal to 5G Ipod -- All Day Events appear across 2 days

When I synchronize my iCal calendars to my 5G iPod, the all day events span across two days in the iPod calendar only. Is there a setting somewhere that gives the iPod calendar the ability to recognize the all day events instead of having them span 24 hours (7am to 7am the following day).
Mac OS X (10.4.8) MacBook Pro 15in 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

This appeared to be a timezone issue, when daylight savings time came around the iPod and iCal dates synchronized correctly.

I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?

So after reading other's threads on this issue, I learned that by turning icloud's calendar sync option off and then on again, it re-sets your calendar and pesky old things go away like magic. Thanks to others on this forum for sharing their expertise! I'm all set now.
