Double Contacts & Calendar Entries when Syncing PocketMac to Storm

To Forum
i know others have had this but i have not seen anyone have the issues sorted on any forums.
as the title suggests when i sync with PocketMac to my Storm, everything doubles up. actually not all entries but most. Why is this? there are no doubles in my Entourage Database>?
a couple of points to note:
i am assuming that PocketMac is syncing direct to my Entourage Database and not doing it via iCal and the Mac apps?
i have the sync set as one way from mac to storm. not ideal but for first sync and/or after a wipe of contacts and and calendar this is what i have read is best and safest to do.
as noted above, i have plugged the Storm into a PC, wiped the bits that double up [contacts & calendar] and sync'd again. Every thing still doubles up.
Why oh why oh why? syncing isnt a new technology. other manufacturers can do it???

This happened to me too and I think it has to do with your phone showing your calendars from your MobileMe and then all of them again from your computer. Go to your Calendar on your iPhone and hit the "Calendars" button top left and it should give you options to select "All Calendars" or "From My Mac" or "MobileMe". I ended up having "All Calendars" selected and it showed both, Computer & MobileMe at the same time so it looked like I doubled everything.
Let me know if this works or if I screwed up on my syncing or preferences somehow.

  • Double Calendar Entries when Syncing with MobileMe Cloud

    I synced up my new iPhone the other day and all of my calendar entries are doubled up on it - two entries for each. It's been syncing with my MobileMe cloud for a few days now and continues to have this problem. Funny thing is, my Calendar app on my Mac does not sync up the double entries. It only shows one, as it should be. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

  • Duplicate Entourage calendar entries when syncing with 1.0.4

    Here we go again... I was reasonably happy with the previous BB DM - Mac, v. 1.0.3 (build 19?).... but had to update it to the newest version to install the updates to my BB Curve 8530. Now when I sync with my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard), the calendar entries in Entourage double. I had this duplication problem a while ago and now JUST sync with Entourage, not with iCal too.  How can I correct this duplication?

    The duplication has stopped but here's a new problem:  When I add recurring events to my Entourage calendar, they don't sync to my BB.  The other direction works OK with recurring events. Anyone know why this happens, or how to work around (other than only add recurring events to my BB)??
    Thanks,

  • Missing calendar entries when syncing

    Using windows xp, ms outlook 2007 and iTunes 1.1.3, I am missing calendar entries on my computer after syncing. The calendar entries are shown on the iPhone, but many do not make it onto Outlook on my computer. The sync seems to push onto the iPhone one-way, without updating the computer. Anyone else have this issue? Any solutions?

    Update to original post:
    Phone is taking roughly 45 minutes to sync, which is awful.
    Calendar items are not syncing with Outlook.
    Contacts are multiplying with every sync, numbering into the thousands.
    My sense is Apple is overwhelmed with these issues. I did the iTunes upgrade yesterday and no improvement.

  • I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

    You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.

  • After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    This happened to me too but it was really all there.  Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner.  Everything should show up!!!
    I was super thrilled.  Hope this works for you!!

  • TS3999 I followed all of these instructions, but still iCloud Calendar will not sync to Outlook Calendar.  Calendar entries will sync from Outlook to iCloud, but not vice versa.  What do I do now?.

    When syncing Contacts or Calendars between an iPhone, iPad, or an iPod touch and Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010, changes that you synced to your computer may not appear in Outlook even after the sync has been completed.Try this article to see if it works for you

  • Re: iPhone contacts & calendar entries

    Got a new PC and already authorized my computer.  I've also downloaded previously purchased apps already. The thing is how do i back-up the contacts & calendar entries from my iPhone to my computer? I'm afraid it might be all deleted if i sync it to iTunes.
    I've already checked the box in Preferences that says not to automatically sync devices.
    Pls help & thanks for taking time to reply.

    Please enlighten me on this. I'm not familiar much on these computer stuffs... So do i connect my iPhone on my PC and open Outlook Express first and try to import contacts from my phone? I haven't tried this so i have no idea how it works... Or do i go straight to iTunes after i connect my phone and go to info tab?
    Really appreciate u taking time to reply. Many thanks!

  • How can i keep mine and my husbands contacts from combining when syncing phone

    How can i keep mine and my husbands contacts from combining when syncing our phones

    Don't sync each iPhone with the same supported address book app on the shared computer.
    There are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air such as with a free iCloud account, with a Yahoo account, Gmail account, and Hotmail account.
    Do that instead with different accounts for each of you and no longer sync contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer.

  • Can someone please help. I noticed that all my calendar events have completely disappeared :( I made sure that under settings "mail/contacts/calendars", that under sync it is "all events". Not working.

    Can someone please help. All calendar events have completely disappeared from my iphone. I tried troubleshooting. Made sure that in settings, the "mail/contacts/calendars", that under "sync" it was checked off "all events". But it was like that already. Nothing seems to be working. Are my events lost now? I'm stressing. Lol. Thank you.

    Check settings > iCloud > calendars.  Is it on or off?

  • Double Calendar Entry after Syncing

    After syncing today, I now have double entries on my device.  They are all future appointments that were on Outlook, not ones I had entered on the device.  When I try to delete one says "appointment deleted externally.  Changes will be lost and the viewer closed."
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you have the Calendar perfect in outlook follow this steps, after this you have the calendar perfect.
     If you are having errors in your Calendar on your BlackBerry, and you wish to delete the entire Calendar database on your BlackBerry, follow the directions below. Make certain you have a good copy of your Calendar or Contacts elsewhere, as this procedure will complete delete ALL Calendar entries on your BlackBerry.
    1. Open Desktop Manager on your PC.
    2. Open up Backup/Restore > Advanced.
    3. From Advanced you'll see a split pane screen. The left pane is what is going to be backed up from your device and the right is a list of the currently existing databases.
    3. Highlight on the right side your Calendar database and click the arrow in the middle pointing to the left. This will copy the information over and prepare it for back-up.
    4. Once the back-up has completed, hit the Clear button at the bottom to erase and clean out the entire Calendar database.
    5. After it's finished, it will ask you if you want to save the back-up you've created, say yes and check the device to make sure the calendar has been properly cleared out. Now, resync the necessary contact information and you should be set to go. 
    If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
    If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

  • Double Calendar Entries after sync

    Ok so I upgraded to 3.0 for my 1st generation iPod touch, and after the sync (I have mobile me too) I now have two iCal entries for each event. Double events. Now when I open iCal there is only one, but when I open calendar on my iPod touch there are two listing for each event. How can I fix this?

    Hopefully my answer is the correct one because this is what I think it is.
    Open your calendar app on the touch. Above the month/year should be the words "All Calendars". To the left should be the arrow for Calendars. Touch that. You should see a tab near the top that says "All Calendars" with the arrow pointing to the right.
    Just below that should be a new section called "From My Mac" with the calendars listed from iCal. If you scroll down you should now see another section called .Mac. This too should contain all your calendars. If you touch either the "All .Mac" or the "All from My Mac" tab, you should only see the single listings you're looking for.
    I don't understand why there should be both sets of calendars. Wouldn't they both be the same?
    Hope this helps.

  • Why are all contacts & calendar entries listed twice? Syncing Problems?

    Hello,
    I am synching my iPhone 4S with iCloud (push) and also with cable connections.
    All contacts are listed twice and all meetings are also listed twice!
    Even when I delete the second contact manually it shows up again when I sync - crazy.
    I have truned off Google Contacts sync and tried again. But it is still happening.
    What can I do?
    Best
    Monty

    You either sync your contacts & calendars over the air with iCloud or by USB with your computer...not both at the same time. Doing both will create duplicates.

  • Losing calendar entries when I sync

    HELP!  Since I downloaded the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop Software, I lose 100's of calendar entries from several years ago each time I sync with MS Outlook 2007.  Can't figure out where the settings are to specify date ranges.  Thanks in advance for your help...

    Hey brenda9a,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    This article should help you configure the date range for your calendar sync as well as setting the Keep Appointments option on the BlackBerry. http://bbry.lv/roWAYd

  • Existing Calendar Entries not Syncing to iCloud

    I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7 that has five calendars.  I attempted to sync it to my iCloud account today and it only syncs one of my calendars ("Work").  The other calendars ("School", "Home" etc), show up in iCloud in the Calendars sidebar, but none of the entries do.  If I create a new event on my phone in any of the calendars, they show up and sync perfectly to the iCloud and to my new MBA (running Mavericks).  Likewise, events I create on my MBA and iCloud show up fine on my phone.  So, why are these existing entries, for all but one of my existing calendars, not syncing?  Any ideas?
    I've tried toggling iCloud on and off on my MBA and my phone; signing in and out of iCloud; restarting both phone and MBA.... no luck.  My next step is the restore my iPhone, but I'd really rather not do that.  I hope someone can help!

    I suggest you do the following:
    Go to your old MacBook that contains these calendars, open iCal, click on each of your calendars on the left-hand side of iCal and export a backup to your desktop.  To do this, open iCal, click on the calendars one at a time, go to File>Export>Export and save to your desktop.  Then email each of these backup files to yourself.
    Next, open the emails on your new MBA, double-click the attachments one at a time, and select the corresponding calendar on your MBA to import each calendar to.  This should import the calendar entries to your Mac and to iCloud.  When done, comfirm that the calendars on your Mac contain the events, and check icloud.com to confirm that they appear on your calendar there as well.  If they do, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Calendars to off, choose Delete from My iPhone at the prompted, then turn Calendars back on, and if prompted, choose Replace.  This will replace the calendars on your phone with the ones on icloud.com.
    Oh, I have a good feeling about this!  I will try it out and report back in the morning.  Thank you so much!
