Double events in iCal

I took the plunge and moved my contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. to iCloud. Now almost all of my events are doubled in iCal. ***?

Why are there double events in iCal?

I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and and iPad and I sync my calendar in iCal on all three. The iPad and MacBook Pro work fine. Syncing is smooth, and each event appears only once. On the iMac, however, each event appears twice. If I try to delete the "double," after a few seconds both entrie disappear. This is very frustrating! Does anyone know what is happening?

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

Events in iCal doubled after use of iSync and Nokia 6300

Hi,
I’ve got a problem with the sync though iSync of the Nokia 6300 and iCal on my Mac – a problem which might be related to the imported phoneplugin – but I really don’t think so, as other users doesn't seem to have any problems with this phoneplugin:
http://nokia6300.net/3/isync-and-nokia-6300
The story goes like this:
During sync with iSync somehow over 505 of the events are doubled in both iCal on my PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4. AND in the calender of Nokia 6300. If I sync three times an event is tripled in both iCal and phone etc. It seems like iCal doen’t want to obey the phone during sync – and I always use the phone as my primary source – as far as I know, anyway. iCal is thus used as a backup.
And there is another curious thing going on:
I’ve created my own calender in iCal. Even though I subscribe to Holidays and Weeknumbers in iCal, they are turn of during sync with iSync. But still they emerge in the calender of my Nokia 6300 after sync. As far as I can see, the setup is correct.
If anyone knows how to deal with these issues, I’d be must greatful, as deleting all these extra events in the phone and iCal after each sync is both rather irritating and terrible time consuming.

OK, I've found the answer. I've used the plugin found here (in my case the one for iSync 2.4):

- and it works wonderful. Nokia 6300, iSync and iCal now plays together like a sweet dream!

Having trouble with double entries in ical after installing Lion. After entering an event, another one pops up right next to it.

Check iCal preferences, the Accounts Tab. You might have duplicate accounts.

Setting default times for events in ical.

When setting an event in ICal on my Mac (Im using Lion 10.7.5) if I double click to start an event, it places an event on the day I clicked on. Im in the month view. When I go into the event to set the time, the default is 10 am to 6 pm and I have to reset it to an hour long event. I do know that if I type in the time at the end of the event name, eg. Meet Mary 7 pm, the event will have an hour long duration in the calendar. Is there a way to change the default for my first method of clicking to create a new event by double clicking in the day square for the event? Thanks.

Hi BumbleBBB,
The article below will explain the parameters for adding events to the Calendar:
iCal 5.x: Add events to a calendar
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return. For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.
I hope this information helps ...

Ordering Events On iCal

Is there anyway to order events on iCal in the order you'd like them to appear in? I simply want to have them appear as 1- Band Name, 2 - Band Name, 3 - Band Name. However, iCal orders them in a random way and when I try to arrange by dragging, it throws everything out of whack.

Hey mikefromstratford,
I'd read through the following article about iCal to double check the syncing process. There are two main ways to sync your iCal events onto your iPhone, so depending on which one you use you'll want to check out either the "Set up your iCloud calendar account for use with iCal" or "Sync your calendars with iPhone, iPod, or iPad" sections:

Adding event in iCal on ipad2

I just got an iPad 2 and I am unable to add events in iCal. There is no + symbol and I am unable to add a new event by tapping, double tapping, or holding the screen. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My problem is that there is no plus sign. I have no add button and I can't click on times to enter a new event. Is there a software update to fix this?

Opening an ICS file doesn't open event in iCal

Opening an ICS file in Apple Mail no longer opens the event in iCal. I don't recall the last time it worked but I know, in the past, double clicking an ICS file in Apple Mail would open the actual event iCal so you could see and modify it. Now, the only thing that happens is iCal opens........and you then have to manually locate the event.
I have the option to Automatically Add invitations to iCal and that is working but I have quite a few users that want the previous functionality back. I know we can use the Quick Look Attachment option and see the event details but that's not as convenient as simply double clicking and going straight to the event.
I'm seeing this problem with 10.6 and 10.7.

Having the same problem here - it's driving me nuts!
I tried installing YAI, but I can't make it point to the correct calendar. I can cut and paste an event into the Google Calendar, but if it's an outlook invite it will delete the event on all the attendee's computers.

Changing availability Status for event in iCal

How do I change the availability status for an event in iCal Version 7.0 (1835.1)?

Hi bubbakwb3,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Use these steps to change availability status for an event in Calendar:
Calendar (Mavericks): Change your availability status for an event
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14998
If the Calendar account you’re using displays your status for an event, you can change the status at any time and still be available to meet during an event.
By default, Calendar sets your status as free during all-day events and as busy during all other events.
Double-click the event, then click the event’s date.
Choose an option from the Show As menu.
Regards,
Jeremy

Help: I cannot see or edit events in iCal. What to do?

Please help. I cannot open the event editor to change or see contents of an event. I am using an Intel MacBook, iCal, and The Missing Sync for Palm with a Palm Centro. The events show fine on my Centro, but I cannot double-click the events on iCal on my MacBook in order to see or edit the attached notes. Maybe an unrelated problem is that times of events in iCal are not the same on my Centro (some are, some are not). I cannot seem to determine what happened to the events as shown on my MacBook. Any ideas?

I talked to AppleCare support earlier today and they guided me to the solution. Seems like my iCal file had became corrupted for some reason (iCal or Palm Centro or Missing Sync to blame?--who knows). Anyway, the solution was to remove the file "com.apple.iCal.plist" Once that was done, iCal recreated the file after I reopened iCal and all was well. We'll see how long this fix lasts -- I hope forever.

How can I hide a single event in iCal?

I'd like to be able to mark the occasional event in iCal private, or hidden from view, but everything else visible. Is this possible?

I agree, I can post a calendar from Outlook 2007 to my corporate iCal Server marking items as private and thus anyone subscribing to my calendar won't see what the appointment is - only that I have something in my schedule. It'd be something awesome if the Apple iCal could be able to do the same thing.

Linking multiple emails to a single event in ical and/or to do's

Hi:
Often I receive emails and I want to link them to an event in ical. OS X does this just fine as long as there is date in the email that OS X can recognize. The problem is sometimes I get multiple emails relating to the same event and I would like to be able to link all of those emails to one single event in ical. My same questions applies to 'to do' items.
And a follow up question--say I receive an email that has no date explicit in the text-I've tried to find some function that would allow me to schedule a new event in ical and would link that email to it. (I hope that all makes sense) I'm open to whatever solution I'll even pay money for 3rd party software if anyone knows of a good program. But I"m looking to stick to the basic ical interface. Any suggestions?

Hi rtwigg,
seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
visio graphics, may only support for one row.
you may consider this idea :
"It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
by means, you may need to use the visio client.
