Duplicate birthdays in iPad calendar from contacts

I have noticed that all the birthdays that are syncing from my contacts into my calendar are rapidly duplicating - over the last few days each entry has increased so currently each birthday is listed 192 times!
I've tried switching the birthdays calendar off, quitting the calendar and restarting my iPad but they are still there.
Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?
It's like they're breeding out of control :)
Thanks.

Did you receive a response on this?  I am having the same problem on my iPad 3.  I turned off the Birthdays and when I turn it back on, there are HUNDREDS of the same entry.

    How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

    Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone.  It is simple when you know how.  Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac.  When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences.  I just disabled one of them.  Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

  • Hw do I get rid of birthdays on iPad Calendar?

    I don't know if this has anthing to do with my Google Gmai, Google+,Facebook, or syncing issues but my iPad calendar is suddenly showing the birthdays of everyone in my contacts 6 or more times on the date of their birthday. HELP!
    I don't want any birthdays on this calendar. They'r too distracting and leave no space for new events.
    How do I get rid of them?

    Open the calendar app the tap the calendar icon on top right hand corner. You will see the options there to hide the birthdays all at once

  • Birthdays. better on calendar or contact list?

    currently have all bdays on recurring calendar entries. i am considering adding them instead, to the contact list for each person. can someone tell me what difference there would be between the two? does it affect syncing w outlook 2007? does it tell you the age of the person on either way? that is what i would like to happen the most. would be nice not to have to do the math,  lol

    Looking at my birthday's added in the contact...it adds the birthday to the calendar as a "whole day event" and sets reminder to 15min before by default. It hasn't synchronized it with Outlook, but doesn't affect other entries or the sychronization process. It doesn't give the age either way unfortunately

  • My iMac calendar and contacts no longer sync on iPhone and iPad?

    I updated iTunes on my iMac a few months ago. Since then my calendar and my contacts on the iMac have not been syncing on my iPhone and my iPad. My memory says there used to be an "Info" button at the top of the iTunes interface when I had my iPhone or iPad connected to the iMac for syncing. Do not see that button any more? Have been looking and looking for some new way to sync my calendar and my contacts, but have not found anything. This is one of several disappointments with the new iTunes. How do I get my iMac, iPhone, iPad calendars and contacts to sync??
    It's been a real pain to have to enter calendar and contact information into all three! My iMac runs on Maverick, my iTunes is 11.1.3, and the iPhone and iPad run on iOS 7.0.4

    Hello Bev76,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like contacts and calendars on your iPad are not being synced to your iPhone 5, but the data syncs from iPhone to iPad.
    If you are using iCloud for your contacts and calendars, start with the troubleshooting steps in the "iOS" or "Troubleshooting on iOS devices" sections of these articles:
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • How can I sync my iPad calendar with my iCloud calendar ? ? ?

    I use my iPad calendar and Contacts etc as default . . .  but the information does not sync with my iCloud items . . .

    Make sure your iPad calendar is backed up, then go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Calendar, Contacts, etc.

  • My new icloud acct on my imac is duplicating entries in calendar from my ipad; how do I get rid of the duplicates and how do I get one calendar to be the main one to start with

    I've just installed Mavericks on my iMac and now my calendar has duplicate and now sometimes tripled events by syncing with my ipad mini regardless of whether the item already existed in the iMac calendar already. How do I remove the duplicates? It was being able to sync calendars and contacts which was one of my reasons for moving from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and now it's a mess.

    Crista70, What is happening is you now have 2 calendars with the entries in them. If you go into View, then Show Calendar List, you will see all your calendars. Uncheck the ones listed as "From My Mac" or uncheck the ones listed as "iCloud" and they will no longer show as duplicates. Personally, I prefer unchecking the "From My Mac" calendars so that my calendars are all synced across the devices.

  • I want to upgrade my phone to the 4 or 4s.  My macs are still running Tiger.  If I bought an iPad 2, could I sync everything to it from the 4 without using a Mac at all, and then be able to iCloud my calendar and contacts, etc?

    You don't need a computer to activate a new iOS device anymore. Anything with iOS 5 can be activated over a WiFi network (or cellular if that applies).

  • Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi.  I believe All my settings are correct.  Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

  • How to sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad 2?

    How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

    I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2.  I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty.  I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad.  Any suggestions?

  • I can't access my hotmail from my iPad and my contacts and calendar content have disappeared?!

    When I set up my iPad my hotmail, calendar and contacts were automatically synced with my iPhone. All of a sudden that connection seems to be lost and I can't access my hotmail account (although I can send an email) and my contacts and calendar are empty on the iPad. I have tried deleting the hotmail and reinstalling but nothing changed. I have also reset the iPad twice but that didn't make a difference either. Please help! I haven't got a clue so as simple language as possible :-) Thank you!

    Wow.  That's weird.
    Is your iPad jailbroke?  If it is, all bets are off.  If it is not jailbroke, keep reading.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Unsynking Facebook birthdays from ipad calendar?

    All my Facebook contacts´ birthdays show up in my ipad calendar. ( I have not synked the ipad to Facebook).
    How can I get rid of all this birthday info which is cluttering up my calendar?

    @phil1992
    Open settings and then choose 'Facebook'.
    Then under "Allow These Apps to Use Your Account" turn Calendar off. Birthdays will be gone but so will your events.
    Alternative:
    Just disable both Calender and Contacts
    1: Settings
    2:Notifications
    3:scroll down to Facebook
    4:Turn Badge App Icon switch to 'Off'
