Double/duplicate info in iCal on my iPhone

I have a Mac desktop, a Mac laptop, a mobileMe account & an iPhone. I was pleased as punch to finally figure out how to get my iCal info from my desktop to my iPhone. I know it is a simple procedure, not rocket science, but let's just say it took me a while and leave it at that. I input the majority of my data into iCal via the desktop. One day I put some things into iCal on my laptop, then synced thinking it would update to my iPhone. I now have every calendar & event in my iPhone twice! The calendars are also different colors. I knew about the colors not being the same when info went from computer to iPhone.
So long story short, what happened & why doesn't iCal on my iPhone look like the iCal in mobileMe ?
TIA,
Desire

The apps on your Mac - iCal and the Address Book are kept synchronized with the MobileMe "cloud' or with your MobileMe online calendar(s) and address book, which in turn is kept synchronized with your MM account on your iPhone. The MM "cloud" is the center of this.
If your calendars/calendar events are correct with your MM online calendars, try the following.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing with your MM account. This will erase all calendars and calendar events from your iPhone. Wait a minute or two followed by turning Calendars back on.

  • How to duplicate iCal events on iPhone?

    Is it possible to duplicate/copy an eventy in iCal on your iPhone and then paste it to another date?  This is easy in iCal on my Mac, but I can not seem to find a way to do it on my new iPhone.  Thanks.

    Not sure, but you might want to check your calendar on your iPhone under Clendars button (top left), then see if you have a check mark next to more that one calendar named "Calendar".  If so, try unchecking the one under On My iPhone and see if that removes the duplicates.

  • I have subscribed to US Holidays calendar. These holidays show up on iCal on my iPhone and on my iPad, but not on iMac. When I "get info" for that calendar, "location" is set to iCloud.

    I have subscribed to US Holidays calendar in iCal. These holidays show up in iCal on my iPhone and on my iPad, but not on iMac. When I "get info" for that calendar, "location" is set to iCloud.

    I found this link (trash Calendar Cache and iCal.plist), and it solved my problem. https://discussions.apple.com/message/11084987?searchText=ical%20us%20holidays%2 0not%20showing%20on%20imac#11084987

  • Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

    Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

    Greetings,
    See page 113 of the iPhone 4 user manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    When you add an event to the Calendar.app of the iPhone 4 there is an "Alert" option which should give you the desired result.
    Cheers.

  • How do I sync MacBook Pro's old iCal calendar with iPhone 4?

    I had MobileMe, which as you all know, was not a perfect program. MobileMe left me with duplicates of every Calendar but I am not sure which one to delete of each pair for fear of losing date. But it did sync my iPhone and my iCal on my MacBookPro. So when it was suggested that I move to iCloud, I thought: Great idea. Maybe this program will work better!
    Well now I have no syncing between iCal calendar and iPhone iCal calendar.
    Does anyone know how to use this thing?
    AGH!
    Thanks for any help you can shoot my way. Assume idiocy: step 1, step 2, step 3 appreciated and for each device if you know how to fix this!

    Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

  • HT1296 When i sync calendars, the info i typed in my iphone calendar does not sync to my computer

    When i sync calendars, the info i typed in my iphone calendar does not sync to my computer?  Info from my ical from the computer does sync to my iphone...Am i missing something?

    Thanks for the reply but when I do this my default calendar options are 'From My Mac' or 'iCloud'.  If I try to select a calendar I can only select one of them.  So, if I select Calendar I can only get a check mark beside one feature, calendar, home, or work.  I am stumped.  I can add events on the Mac and then will sync to the phone but not the other way.  That sounds like settings to me but I have toggled everything I can think of.

  • Using iCal on an iPhone and MacBook

    I have a MacBook, an iPhone4 and a MobileMe subscription. I thought it would be easy to organise my schedule on my MacBook and sync it with the iPhone, but I have two problems:
    1) the 'to do' list which appears on iCal on my MacBook is not present on iCal on my iPhone, and I really need it
    2) my schedule is only syncing when I connect the iPhone via the USB port. I have yet to see any evidence that it's syncing over the air
    3) I'm not at all clear how you're supposed to use MobileMe from the iPhone. When I go to www.me.com on Safari using my iPhone, I do not get the log in screen - I just four options about setup. But I've already gone through setup.
    I'd be grateful for any advice.

    Thanks for your observations. I've found that even without syncing my calendars through iTunes - I only use iTunes to download music and podcasts and the like - at times there are strange things going on - updates or additions that appear in one place but not all. In general, my two computers and MobileMe seem to do alright together. It's my iPod touch and my iPhone 3G that are the problem. Occasionally, events that I enter on the iPhone don't ever appear on MM and thus either of my computers, which can be unsettling at the very least. At the same time, all kinds of strange things happen when I'm trying to sync either of my handhelds with MM (all syncing is supposed to be automatic). Some changes made on one or the other of my computers sometimes take days to display on either of the handhelds, and events that I reschedule on the computer(s) sometimes leave the original event behind on the handhelds. I've generally found that turning off calendar syncing in the account info in Settings on the handheld devices (the calendars on the mobile device are erased) and then turning it back on and letting it sync with MM settles things down, but it takes a long time for that sync to occur. Then things will go along according to plan for a while until something goes awry again and then I have to go through the "turn off/turn on/reset the device" routine. I'm not sure what causes these glitches, but like you I've found a way to recover, however tedious.

  • Why doesn't the iCal on my Mac Pro sync with the iCal on my iPhone?

    The iCal on my Mac Pro (Lion 10.7.3) and the iCal on my iPhone (iOS 5.1) don't sync - why?  Not very impressed with iCloud at the moment.

    You're looking on the wrong page, Anne.  Look at the top of that screen; you should see Summary, Info, Apps, Music, and a few other buttons up there. Click on the "Info" button. Then you'll find the options for synching calendars and contacts.

  • How do I eliminate duplicate birthdays in ical?

    I'm using Snow Leopard, and iCal on my iPhone shows birthdays twice for the same contact.
    (One with an icon that looks like a present, and the other a pink dot.)
    Things I've tried without success:
    * Deleting the birthday, closing iCal, then reopening and reentering the birthday.
    * Deleting the contact completely and reentering from scratch.
    * Entering the data from my iPhone first then synching with my MacBook. And vice versa.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Try this..... open Calendars/Preferences/General and uncheck Show Birthdays calendar. Wait a minute then recheck it and see if the dups go away.

    Wow, what a silly easy fix! And I was all mentally prepared for a big pain in the you know what. Thanks!

  • ICal on ios7 iPhone search issue

    When I perform a search action in iCal on my iPhone, iCal displays the results randomly. I would like to have the results sorted by date. Is this possible? It was in ios6.
    Thx for replies

    I just realized I am having the same problem.  All iCal events are on my iMac, but I can only view the last 12 months or so on my iPhone 4s.  Searching within iCal or the main Search window on the iPhone give the same results, zero.
    So when I am at the doctors and they want to know when my child last saw Dr. SoAndSo, the search on the phone shows zero, when I know this is an annual appointment.
    Very frustrating.  I hope there is a setting that I've just missed since I got the phone last Fall.
