Duplicate calendar events using Intellisync

I'm using Intellisync with my Treo 680 phone. It works GREAT for my GroupWise 7.0.1 e-mail on both my phone and PC, but for some reason my calendar events are being duplicated several times on my Windows XP PC GroupWise when the phone and PC are synched. They're not duplicated on the Treo calendar. Any ideas?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)

A friend of mine who recently switched from a PC to Mac is experiencing the same problem after installing all the latest updates (Mac OS X 10.7.2 + iOS5 on his iPhone and iPad). He synchronizes his iPhone and iPad through iTunes with the iCal and Outlook 2011. The mac can't stop duplicating birthday alarms and currently has about 15 alarms per person.
Anyone having some ideas or at least a solution to stop the replication until Apple releases an update? If BobRocks is right about this happening with each new iTunes version, that's a big shame...

How to duplicate calendar events copy paste?

I am trying to build my schedule on calendars with my iPad. I would like to put in my work schedule but I don't work the same days every week. I am looking for a way to copy paste/duplicate entries so I don't have to keep inputting them. Because I don't work the same days each week/month I can't use the repeat feature. I have tried a long press to copy and paste but it moves the whole event and doesn't duplicate it. Is there a way to do this? I have found that I can do this on my Macbook Pro in iCal and then it updates the iPad through iCloud but I would like to do it with my iPad because I have the iPad and iPhone with me all the time and the Macbook stays at home.

As you know by now, there is now way to copy and paste (drag and drop duplicate) iPad Calendar events. However, I have found a workaround that allows you to duplicate an event and place the duplicates in various dates on your Calendar. NOTE: This is probably not too practical for making a single copy, but it does save time and keystrokes for multiple copies. In Calendar, tap on the event you want to duplicate and select Edit. In the Edit window select Repeat. In the Repeat window select Every Day, then tap Done to take you back to the Edit menu. Tap End Repeat and select an end date that will give you the number of copies you want (e.g., if the original event date is 11/12 and you want 5 copies, select 11/17 as the End Repeat date. Tap Done twice to return to the Calendar. Then just drag the Repeats/Copies to the various dates where you want them placed (works best in Month view). When you finish each drag/drop, you will get a "This is a repeating event" pop-up window; you need to select "Save for this event only."

TS4118 How do you get rid of duplicate calendar events on iPad?

I just synced my iPad with my MacBook (which I do all the time) but this time, it resulted in duplicating all my iPad calendar events (events do not appear as duplicates on my MacBook). This happened immediately after I enabled iCloud syncing of my calendar. I have now disabled Icloud syncing and I just synced my iPad with my MacBook again. The events are still appearing in duplicate on my iPad.

iTunes settings for iPad and iPhone are independent. If your iPhone doesn't have duplicate entries, check your settings when plugged into iTunes, then use the same settings for your iPad. But, it really sounds as if you've simply enabled calendar syncing directly from your Mac when it's plugged into iTunes. This will then update your iPad's calendar with whatever's in your Desktop calendar when you plug it in to iTunes. Uncheck this setting in iTunes when you next have your iPad plugged in to sync, and the duplicates should disappear, leaving only those events pulled down from MobileMe. The plug in sync option is for people who don't use MobileMe.

Multiple instances of the same calendar events using Oulook and Desktop Manager

BB Curve 8310
OS 4.5
Desktop Manager 5.0
Theme = Dimension Today
Outlook 2007 “full version”
Using two POP3 email accounts. One is a personal gmail and the other is most important a business email. I do not use gmails calendar.
12 Months or so back I would sometimes get duplicate appointments in my BB calendar after a sync but Outlook showed a single appointment. I had read that it was intermittent with the theme “Today” and the advice was “do not accept appointment invites in Outlook”.
I forgot and accepted several I the past week. Now almost all my appointments are doubled up in my BB and again, my Outlook seems fine. I just noticed that I can now select which calendar to “show” in my BB.
Is this caused by getting an email invite to an appointment?
1)   Does anyone know what is causing this?
2)   Could you suggest a quick fix?
3)   Could you suggest a permanent fix?
Thanks

BB Calendar CICAL = personal email
BB Messaging CMIME = work email
This is not correct the default services values need both reflect the main email associated account.
They need to both be your work address. This could very well explain the duplicates
Outlook has/uses only the work email address show it has to be the default one - I have long ago deleted my personal one from Outlook.
Outlooks Calendar Data File recurrence (none) 339, in Outlook 2007 I had to find them a different way but I think it's what your looking for.
My BB shows a "default" = 217, "personal" = 185, and "work" = 309
The records in the device default calendar will not synchronize. The are in effect "orphaned"
records that at one time belonged to an email address. Usually caused by deleting the email account or losing the service books for the email account. We need to remove them
can you tell what email account they were created from? And where they would logically be moved?
A couple of notes - now that you have had me flipping through different areas I have noticed a few interesting things that maybe would be beneficial. While using Outlook 2003, I used several email addresses. Don't know if Outlook updates to 2007 or installs a new 2007 program using data from 2003. There was a time that I was sending emails in Outlook from my personal account, there was a slight hiccup and every so often it would revert back, hence I simply deleted it.
I would need to verify it, but I'm pretty sure that the email addresses would have to be installed again.
I'll split that one with you. I'll take the Blackberry knowledgebase. You take the Microsoft outlook support site
I'm now wondering if I delete all the calendars on my BB and do the one way sync? That seems simple enough.
We are gong to do just that, to repair what happened. It will not prevent another recurrence.
You asked for three things:
You wanted a a reason this happened, I think we found it in the default services setup.
You wanted a quick fix, It will be done in with an hour's work.
You also wanted a permanent fix, Want to go for all three?
If you have multiple calendars you will have problems. It's just the nature of the beast.
It's not an "if " but just a matter of "when" deal!
Personally I can't find any logic in the concept of multiple calendars.
People explain they use one for work appointments and one for personal appointments.
I always want to ask why they don't use two watches one for personal and one for work?
I do see the need for separating personal and work email accounts.
Here is I think the best of both worlds answer.
Leave your work email configured and use the work calendar as you would normally.
For your personal email install the Gmail for mobile application. You have access to your
personal and work emails, they are kept separate due to the nature of the Gmail app.
Here is the the cherry on the top. The Gmail app doesn't install a calendar.
So two email addresses one calendar, ain't life grand!
So here is the plan Stan, let me know what you think.
1) On the Blackberry options advanced options, default services. Match both options to your work email.
2) Decide what needs to happen with the 217 device default "orphans".
Also 185 personal records. Are they worth keeping, can they be sent to the work calendar, do they need to be on Outlook.
3) Read this article you can see your options and help you make the best decision.

When a third party program creates a new Google calendar event using a http link I cannot click the save button in Firefox 9.01 or 10b2.

I use a TV listings program called DigiGuide. This has a script that opens a new Google Calendar event page in my browser for a specified TV program with all fields already completed. I then just have to click the SAVE button on the Google Calendar site to save the event - but since updating to 9.01 from 8.xx this button and others (Discard, Search) has no effect, although the cursor changes when over the button as if it recognised a link. Opening the same page in Chrome works fine. I have also noticed that Calendar's other buttons (e.g. next/previous period) can stop working on the main Calendar page, which I have as a pinned tab - in this event navigating away from Calendar and back again regains that functionality. The issue persists in Firefox 10b2.

Further investigation reveals this only happens when the event is created from within WP native calendar app and disappears when I make an edit to the event in any other calendar client including Google web. So a more appropriate description of the problem would be:
"Native calendar app keeps subtracting 1h off a Google calendar event on EVERY edit"
Create an event at 2013/07/17 15:00 in WP native calendar app. Result: Event shows as 2013/07/17 15:00 in the calendar app for a few seconds, then updates itself to 2013/07/17 14:00.
Edit the event title and save in WP native calendar app. Event time moves by -1h again to 2013/07/17 13:00.
Edit the event title in Google web calendar.
Subsequent edits in WP native calendar do not mess up the time any longer. If I fix the time to what I originally intended (2013/07/17 15:00) in WP native calendar app, it stays there and shows correctly in all previously mentioned calendar viewers.
I just learned that Lumia 925 was released with GDR2 update pre-installed. This update is only now being made generally available. If the issue is secific to the CalDAV implementation in GDR2 rather than specific to my phone only, this would make a lot of angry people. I hope I'm wrong on this though as it's an extremely frustrating problem.

How to gather Calendar events using applescript?

How do you gather any events schedualed for that day on calendar by using applescript?

I have got it working with this script.
If iTunes Pop-up a message, I press a key on my remote control and the Pop-up message / Box disappears.
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iTunes"
-- get the front window's name
-- get the name of the front window
set whichWindow to (get the name of the front window)
-- Ergebnis: "Getting Playlist"
-- display dialog result
-- display dialog whichWindow
-- Ergebnis: {button returned:"OK"}
set whichButton to (get the name of the front window's button)
-- Ergebnis: {"Stop"}
tell whichButton of window whichWindow to key code 53
-- set the contents of the button to key code 53
end tell
end tell
In a terminal I have typed in "while true; do ./diut.app; sleep 2; done" to see what happend, if iTunes is front most and an iTunes message Pop-up.

Creating calendar events using gmail

Using gmail from the 8900, is there a way to create a calendar event and invite other attendees as well as accept meetings sent from other users on Outlook?

If this feature is available, I don't see it.
No.
If it isn't available, well, why not?
This is a user to user help forum only for technical support issues and questions, and it is doubtful that any fellow users know why not.

How can I automatically create calendar events using text from a Pages document?

Hello,
I'm looking for a way that I can automatically have calendar events created, by extracting dates and times from a table within a Pages document I have saved on my Mac.
Currently, I record my working hours/dates on a Pages document in table format, so that I can record and ensure I receive payment for all hours I work.
After finding out which shifts I have for the week, I insert the day, date, start time and end time (for each shift), into a table within a Pages document.
I'm wondering if there is any way - such as through Automator, Apple Scripts, etc. - that I can then have the Calendar app automatically create events from that data - including the date, start and end times for each shift?
Also, if possible, is there a way to set each event to automatically alert me at a chosen time (1 day, 2 days, etc.) beforehand?
Here is an example of the layout of my document table:
Date
Start
Finish
Duration

If anyone can help with this question, that would be greatly appreaciated, as then I could have my calendar automatically create and sync my work shifts across to my iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Thanks in advance,
John.

I totally agree with you.
Where are the fixes for a long string of bugs, glitches and user issues?
Looking at the list of new "features" for the next OSX, Maverick (what a dumb name!), all I am seeing is Apple ripping off other peoples' ideas, something it swinges others mercilessly for.
There is not one thing in Maverick that I don't already have, only more so, with 3rd party add-ons.
Apple seems bereft of ideas now and I am totally mystified what it is doing with all that money and employees it has accumulated.

Duplicate calendar events

I have my iPad2 linked to my Entourage calendar and iCloud storage. I have several duplicated calendar events, and I can't figure out how to delete them from my iPad2. They are not duplicated on my iMac's Entourage.

Unless I had to do others things, such as shutting off the iPad2 or something else, this did not work for me. I do believe there is a connection to iCloud's old files or the like, but I don't know how to get rid of anything on the calendar in iPad2. Why is there no delete function?

Duplicate calendar events mac to iphone

I haven't found anyone yet who knows how to fix this problem. My iCal sends 3 or 4 of the same calendar event to my iPhone. I can't believe it was easier to sync iCal with my old Blackberry. Before I look into downloading a different calendar application, I was hoping to find a solution. This was happening on my iPhone 4 and is now happening on my iPhone 5. (Mac OS X 10.6.8)
Thanks!

Duplicate calendar events with iCloud

I would like to use icloud for my calendar on my iphone and mac desktop. When I turn this calendar on though it duplicates all the events on my desktop and iphone too. Any suggestions how to use it without having everything duplicate?

I do know of a workaround that I found through a Google search. I have used this script for over a year now and it helps keep things clean for the most part. It works well. It has on occasion been a little buggy, but nothing that a Mac restart and 2 or 3 script runs couldn't fix. It has a readme that gives you proper installation instructions which basically consists of copying the script to your Entourage script menu. You then can access it within the Enourage application.
Here is a link to the site that has the fix: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq_topic/duplicates.html
Apple, please fix this soon! Or you may lose at least this customer to another phone technology.

IPhone duplicates calendar events on Google's servers and iPad

Hi all
I sync my mulptiple Google Calendars via the exchange service Google provides. I've been having some bad hangups and despite my searches across the web and this forum, can only find a small handful of people who seem to experience the same problems. Anybody else in the same boat / have a solution? Thanks in advance!
The Problems:
-If I create an event in one calendar (i.e., "Personal) and then change its calendar using an iOS device (for example, to "Appointments"), the change will go through ok on that device... but then my other devices and the google web interface show TWO events, one under "Personal" and the other under "Appointments". Super annoying to have to delete and re-enter all your calendar items, just to avoid duplication. Anybody have a solution??
-If I use the "tap and drag" method to change the duration or start time of an event those changes almost never sync -- so an event at 1pm gets changed to 2pm, I make the edit and then annoyingly come back to it and discover that it has reverted to 1pm. It sometimes takes 2 or even 3 attempts before it finally locks in.
-Editing the event title also frequently does not sync.
I've tried to use the calDAV option to rectify some of these problems, but in my opinion calDAV is even worse - no push support, and if I change an event's calendar it often just disappears on Google's servers, or the event sits there under the original calendar and acts like no change was made. I need google for work, or I'd consider using iCloud - and my schedule is pretty intense so I'm constantly changing and editing, and all these problems have been a constant nuisance.
Thanks to any and all who can help!

go to icloud.com and manage your account. delete the other calendars you have, set you default cals

How do I delete a (duplicate) calendar?

I somehow managed to completely duplicate my contacts and calendars from Microsoft Outlook. (I don't use a Mac, or MobilMe or iCal) I don't use the contacts so I deleted them all on my PC within Outlook then synced, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the duplicate calendars.
When I go into Settings - Calendars, this is what I see
From My PC - Calendar
Work (Exchange) - Calendar
They are both the same thing and so whenever I have a calendar reminder, I get the alert twice on my iPod.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of one of these duplicate calendars?
Thanks-
Jenn

I have the exact same issue. The only calendar events that are duplicated are the US Holidays that I subscribed to. This duplication exists only on my iPhone 5S and not my Mac or iPad. I've tried all the other suggestions for removing duplicate calendar events and they don't work. Any ideas?

Hi Sahil,
I was able to make your request work fine against my Office 365 mailbox with 2 changes.
1. Can you please make sure you are adding header "Content-Type: Application/Json"?
2. Can you please make sure your end time is AFTER start time? Looks like there is a typo with your current request as the start time is on 2015-01-06 and end time is on 2015-01-05.
Hope that helps ...
Thanks,
Venkat

How do I get calendar events back onto my iphone??

after updating to ios5 on my iphone 4, I had duplicate calendar events, I deleted the duplicates; but now the events no longer exist in my iphone even though they do on my mac?

The Mac and the iPhone should both have iCloud enabled and they should sync up.
The duplicate entries may have been because you had synced the calendar both with iTunes and iCloud. It should be done one way or the other, not both.
