Calendars duplicated, events replicated moving to iCloud

I'd like to use iCloud. I really would. But every time I try moving my calendars (iCal) to the Cloud, 2 calendars are partially duplicated (each splits into 2 calendars with the same name, some events in both calendars but neither containing all the events of the original), and many events are replicated, sometimes many times. Any idea how I can get "clean" copy of my calendars in iCloud?

What do you mean by that? From what I'm reading we wont be able to use iCloud features without Lion anyway.

IPhone calendar entries disappeared from the iPhone when I moved to iCloud on my iMac...

I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud on my iMac, which runs Lion. I have an iPhone 3G (not 3GS), so I can't upgrade to iOS5. I know that my iPhone Calendar won't sync with iCloud; however, all the calendar entries iPhone calendar entries have disappeared. I thought that all entries made up to the time of moving to iCloud are supposed to remain on the iPhone calendar, and subsequent to moving to iCloud, I'd have to make calendar entries in iPhone manually (with not sync with iCloud possible).
What happend to all my calendar en

Thanks Winston, after I posted the question I went into iTunes to sync and update the iPad and it came to me that I should be able to change the credit card info here.. and I could. I realize I cannot use the iCloud on my iMac, but right now I cannot purchase and new computer and the current one is too old to handle the memory requirements of Lion. Again, thanks for your help.

Duplicated events on iCal after moving to iCloud

Hi, i just updated mi iphone 4 to iOS5, then updated iTunes, then updated OSX Lion to 10.7.2, then moved to icloud...
Everything seems to be ok, but there's a problem: my events duplicated on iCal in my macbookpro...
Every input has cloned itself!
But, when checking on icloud and on my iphone, no duplicates!
So... what should i do?, 'cause if i delete a duplicated event from iCal in my computer, leaving only one, the event erases at all in iCloud and in my iPhone...
Weird.
Any suggestions?
I appreciate your time, thank you!

Hi Jorge. I just went through this entire process. I was able to rid myself of duplicates, however, I am still trying to figure out how to match a hard copy to my Mac without creating duplicates.
- Make sure you have your events on the Mac
- Go to iCloud on phone and turn off iCloud on everything (for now). It will tell you it will delete everything off iCloud (this is fine if you have everything you need on your Mac).
- Go into iTunes on Mac and "turn of Sync with this iPhone over Wi-fi" & check "back up to this computer"
-Go to info tab in iTunes on Mac. Check sync "contacts" & sync "calendars"
- While you are in the info tab also check "calendars" & "contacts" in the Replace Information on This iPhone section under Advanced.
- Synch
- If everything matches up properly go back to iPhone and turn iCloud back on for what you want
- Go to iCal on Mac and in the top left hand corner there is a "calendar" button that when you click it, it shows calendars for "On my Mac" and "iCloud".
- You can delete the "On my Mac" calendars to rid yourself of the duplicates.
***This is how I did it. You may be able to just delete the "On my Mac" calendars but I am not sure if that will take them off of iCloud and your iPhone. You can give it a try first as it may be less time consuming.
So, my issue is still trying to figure out how to keep matching calendars as a backup on Mac without the duplicates. Any takers?

Duplicated events on iCal, and even more on iPod calendar

I am using the latest version of Mac OS X Lion and an iPod Touch 2G with the latest compatible iOS update (4.2.1)
I gave iCloud a try, but after syncing with my iPod, I wouldn't be able to create or edit events in my iCloud calendars (which were previously the "On My Mac" Calendars)
I decided to stop syncing iCal with iCloud so that I would be using "On My Mac" calendars that could be modified on my iPod.
I exported each calendar. Stopped syncing with iCloud (which deletes those calendars from my mac) and then imported them within new calendars that were named and organized as I previously had.
However, I started seeing duplicate or multiple event entries on my Mac and on the iPod Touch.
I tried to delete the duplicates from the Mac, and some of them delete, some don't.
It is weird because I have duplicates of the Address Book Birthday calendar too, which shouldn't have duplicated events that cannot be deleted.
Another thing that happens is that in iCal there are events that appear correctly, just one time. But checking on my iPod, I see the same event 7 times!
Please, somebody help and guide me. I am a heavy user of the calendar on both devices and need a fix soon.
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem.
Can't figure it out.
It is very annoying and time consuming deleting the duplicate items.

My calendar keeps duplicating events.

My calendar keeps duplicating events. I noticed it happened after I turned the iCloud calendar back on. It ask me to merge events. Help anyone?

You get duplicates, one from iCloud and another when you sync with your computer, IF iTunes is set to sync from the computer to the iPhone. Check your device settings (general tab, IIRC) in iTunes.

TS3999 lost half of my calendar when moving to icloud

I just moved to icloud and during the update my calendar "unexpectedly quit". Only some of the events are showing (about half) and I don't know how to retrieve the lost events or if it is possible?? Help! I organize the family schedules with ical - I need the events back!

How can I get all of my calendars and recurring events to synch via iCloud with my iPad2?

Not all of my recurring events sych via the iCloud with my Mac and IOS devices - most specifically my iPad2. For example, my anniversary appears on my Mac and my iPhone, but not on my iPad2.
I notice that when I click on "Calendars" when the iCal app is open in my iPhone I get 2 lists of calendars - one that is labled "On my iphone" and the other that is labled "iCloud". The same two lists appear in the iCal app on my Mac. But on my iPad2 the only list that appears is "iCloud".
Can anyone help with this issue?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Contacts aren't backed up and therefore aren't restored from a back up either. They are synced with the cloud, so after you have restored your device you should be able to sign back into your account and turn syncing back on again. If you need to check if your contacts are in the cloud, go to iCloud.com on a computer.

3GS only showing recurring events on calendar before 9/23/12 but all events are showing in icloud and on laptop.

Discovered my 3GS no longer shows on the calendar nonrepeating events before 9/23/12. However, those events show in icloud and on my laptop. We tried reloading icloud but still missing. Guess is due to downloading of IOS6 - if so, why didn't Apple let us know we couldn't download upgrade to 3GS? Also, will be ordering Iphone 5 and want to ensure have ALL calendar etc. downloaded. Can it be done using the 3GS in the store or will I have to take home and do with laptop?

Did you try going to Settings>iCloud and turning Calendars to Off and when it asks if you want to keep the data, declining? This will erase the calendar from your phone but not from iCloud. Then, after waiting a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On, and if prompted, choose Merge to redownload your calendar.

Calendar Events between iCal and iCloud keep shifting by 1 hour

I have iCal and my calendar on iCloud synced up...however recently i have been noticing that my appointments on one or the other of the calendars are all off by an hour. As best I can figure (after poking around in icloud time zone settings) is that iCloud was not on daylight saving time for the Central time zone...I have changed the setting, but all my appointments are still off by an hour in iCloud...should they have adjusted automatically when i changed the time zone? Am I missing some better time zone calendaring functionality? It seems like this shouldnt be this difficult or persistent of a problem.
Related, there doesnt appear to be a "daylight" option for the timezones in iCloud, just a Standard and one missing Standard, e.g. Chicaog Time vs Chicago Standard Time. My assumption is that WITHOUT Standard is the equivalent of Daylight...can anyone confirm that?
I am getting really tired of constantly revising my appointments (if i change them to be correct (on icloud, then they are wrong on my Mac when i get home at the end of the day)...is there a way to get the time zones and times to line up with the time programmed on my Mac? Right now i have no faith that the times on my calendar events are at all accurate and have to keep the appt details in the notes (e.g. starts at 2pm) just so i can keep track in spite of the times, but that is hardly efficient or logical with a calendar tool.

TS3999 Calendar on Mac Powerbook Pro with Mavericks not pushing events to iPhone via iCloud. I've followed all the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing works.

I input my events on the Calendar on my Mac after I upgraded to Mavericks. Created the iCloud account, followed all the troubleshooting instructions (turning off and on, checking accounts, etc.), but the calendar does not sync/push events to my iPhone 5. The only events that show up are birthdays from Facebook (go figure!). At my wit's end trying to figure out what's wrong because I really need to view my calendar on the phone for work.! Help?

If you calendar is now syncing new events to iCloud, let's rebuild your iCloud calendar. Do the following:
Select each of your calendars on the left sidebar on your Mac and back them up as you did before, by going to File>Export>Export and saving the .ics files to your desktop.
Delete each of your calendars on your Mac by control-clicking on them and selecting Delete. Go to icloud.com and confirm that your calendars are no longer there.
Add a calendar back to your Mac by opening the calendar application and going to File>New Calendar>iCloud and giving it the name of one of your calendars. Repeat for each of the calendars you deleted. When you are done, you should have empty calendars for each of the calendars you delete earlier. Go to icloud.com to confirm these empty calendars appear there too.
In the calendar application on your Mac go to File>Import>Import and navigate to one of the .ics files you saved earlier. When asked where to import it, click the drop-down list and select the empty iCloud version of the calendar you are importing, then Import. Wait until the spinning progress wheel stops at the top of the left sidebar. Repeat this for each of your other calendars.
Check the calendars on your Mac and on icloud.com to confirm that all your calendar events appear now. They should also now appear on your phone. Then add another test event to the calendar on your Mac and confirm that it appears on icloud.com and your iPhone now. If so, everything is now working properly.

What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.

This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
Any experience doing this the "right" way?

HT2513 Events added to shared iCloud Calendar first

When I have a shared iCloud calendar, any event I add to my calendar gets added to the shared calendar first, even if I have my default calendar set to something else. This is really annoying as other people are being notified of all meetings, even if they don't have anything to do with them.

Hi thewomandirector,
For calendar events that are not syncing from your iPhone to your iMac, I recommend this troubleshooting article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
I recommend troubleshooting the iMac first and then, if necessary, the iPhone. You can also check iCloud.com to see if the iPhone-added events are making it that far.
Cheers!

HT4929 I have 2nd generation I-pod which does not meet requirements for ICloud. However, I was told that after I moved to ICloud if I connected my iPod to my Mac via the USB connection that my calendar and contacts would sync, but this didn't happen.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod and just moved to Icloud. I had been told my an Apple tech that although my contacts and calendar would not sync automatically I could connect the Ipod to my Mac via the USB port and ITunes would sync the calendar. Now I find that this is not happening. I am not happy that I will have to enter/edit calendar and contact info on two devices. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Access to someone else (!) events at my desktop / iCloud Calendar

I know. It sounds strange and unbelievable (but, judge yourself - attached JPEG proof below), but I can access someone else calendar via my both Calendars - desktop and iCloud based. And - glad you asked this - yes, I am loged by my own Apple/iCloud ID on my brand new Apple computer.
Strange. Unbelievable. I know. It should not happen. Agree.
Hope that UK iCloud support team, which I just passed this info, will cover this anomalies (there’s no such support in my country, so that’s the reason I am posting this here).
Just in case you’re curious:
1. not-mine-events are located in USA, while I am Polish citizen living in his own home country,
2. orange areas on the attached picture covers my own events and reminders - the rest is not mine.

Thanks for helping presence of joined PL/US Apple Care/iCloud forces, my problem has been resolved.
The root of such misbehavior was as simple as ridiculous: an iPad which I won at competition was intended to be a store unit. So, it has some demo stuff on board - events in Calendar app included. After enabling iCloud services, the demo data has been pushed to all my calendars.

HT4929 If I choose the "To keep using your email" option now, will I continue to be able to access our family's MobileMe Gallery and Calendar until 6/30/12 (or will I immediately lose that ability as happened to two of our MM family after moving to iCloud

If I choose the "To keep using your email" option now, will I continue to be able to access our family's MobileMe Gallery and Calendar until 6/30/12 (or will I immediately lose that ability as happened to two of our MM family after moving to iCloud)?

It's possible to access iCloud email in the Mail application on Snow Leopard, Leopard or Tiger by setting it up manually:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
