Duplicate contacts, music, calendar events. I have 4 computers, 2 ipads,

since mobileme transitioned to icloud I have duplicates of everything, contacts, events, music, etc.. I just joined itunes match and I now have 2,3,4,5 duplicates of many of my songs.  I'm very disappointed! How do I get support to correct this problem? I have 4 computers, 2 ipads, and 1 iphone 4.  WOWOW! so disappointed!

I thought I might post here and update my solution thus far..
1. Restored my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, and did not select iCloud.
2. iCloud working fine on the macbook pro, so I exported my contacts from iCloud to the vCards.
3. Turned icloud contacts off on my macbook pro (iCloud calendars remained on)
4. Synced iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with my macbook pro
5. now my iOS 5 devices sync my contacts and calendar locally with my macbook pro
6. Turned on iCloud only for my email, notes and documents.
Word to the wise: Stay clear of iCloud, WAY too many issues, especially for MobileMe migration customers.

  • HT1296 When syncing to ipod and ipad i get duplicate contacts and calendar events

    Probllems syncing contacts and calendare events. I get dups and triplicates

    How are you syncing? Are you syncing through itunes, icloud or both? Most issues come from syncing the same data/content from more than one source.

  • Many contacts and calendar events have disappeared

    Many of my contacts and calendar events have suddenly disappeared. Can they be retrieved?

    Mine too. I have a J Home and J Work calendar. The J Home calendar is completely gone and had all my personal events. I checked iCloud and it is gone there. No one has access except me. I opened my calendar on my iphone this afternoon to add an appt for my son. The data was there and basically disappeared in front of my eyes. I didn't touch the calendars menu until everything was gone so it wasn't me. I'm losing my mind right now. Everything is gone...just gone.
    I just noticed my wife's shared calendars also no longer appear on my phone or iCloud. Both of her calendars appear on her iCloud and they still say they are shared with me. That's just f****n great. iCloud broke something and I'm the one to suffer. I'll bet anything Apple won't do anything to help as they don't back up iCloud data. I'm sure they do as they are required by law, but they won't admit it. SONOFA!!!!

  • Google contacts and calendar events entered on my iPhone 5s are not syncing with my google account.

    Newly entered contacts and calendar events entered on my IPhone 5s are not syncing to google.
    Facts that may be pertinent:
    - I switched from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5s and did the easy option of having it automatically set up like my previous phone, so I did not change any part of the setup. It is possible that it stopped syncing at that time, based on which contacts have synced and which haven't.
    - My gmail account is set up as Exchange, with Mail, Contacts, and Calendars set to sync.
    - Server: m.google.com, Use SSl is on, S/MIME is off (I don't actually know what these are, but maybe they matter?)
    - Fetch New Data / Gmail account is set to Push
    - Contacts and Calendar Default Account is Gmail
    - In the Contacts app under Groups I have only GMAIL checked.
    I've read that Google recommends CardDAV, which I gather is not the same as Exchange?
    I'm afraid to delete anything and start over, for fear of losing my contacts.
    Is there a difference between the gmail account I set up and what the Contacts app calls GMAIL?
    If there is anything I should communicate about how things are set up on the Google end, let me know.
    Thanks in advance for help!

    Hello Marsden,
    Try this...
    Go to the isync program on your Mac. 
    Go to Preferences in the main menu
    Hit Reset Sync History
    I'm pretty sure this is how I fixed it... so far so good.
    Let me know if that works for you!

  • HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

    Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred either.
    I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

    Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

  • I've lost the contacts and calendar events from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook.  Any solutions?

    I've lost the contacts and calendar events (& email) from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook.  Any solutions?
    I tried to re-synch it with the PC iTunes, but no luck, even when re-checking the boxes for Outlook...

    I should mention that i have NOT upgraded to iOS 5 on the 3GS and don't want to.  Therefore, no iCloud on the phone.

  • Calendar disappeared! Last week I updated to IOS7. Today as the clocks ticked over in Australia to 2014 my contacts and calendar events disappeared. Help!

    Please help. With the beginning of 2014, my calendar events disappeared. I turned the iPad off, the. On again and repeat events reappeared, but all once off events/ appointments are gone! Everything was there before midnight, but I discovered around 2am, 1.1.14 that everything was gone. Bug? Help! Please.

    Are your contacts stored in an MS Exchange server, in iCloud, or some other source? Setting the Sync to less than All Events should not delete events, but only stop showing them on your device. However, Outlook also has a setting to actually delete events older than a certain date. Have you checked that?
    If you log in to iCloud.com (and you are syncing with iCloud) what do you see? Whatever is there is all you can get on the iPhone, unless you can restore from another source.
    I also suggest enabling iCloud Backup (settings/icloud - Storage and Backup). This will create a new backup any time your phone is connected to power and WiFi, so you will always have a current backup, painlessly.

  • ICloud not syncing Contacts or Calendar events on iOS 5 devices after MobileMe migration

    On either of my devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) I cannot get my contacts or calendar events to appear correctly, both devices crash the contacts or calendars apps when I access them.
    I first upgraded to ios5 and iTunes 10.5 (Which bricked my iPhone 5 times in a row with error 3012)
    I then migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and all of my Contacts/Calendars are appearing correctly online at iCloud.com.  However my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 will simply refuse to sync with the contacts and calendars...
    My iPhone and iPad literally freeze when I try disable the iCloud services, I have restored both devices numberous times and started the iCloud service in MANY different steps.  I have even used both my mac and PC to restore my devices.
    I have been trying to fix this for two days now, I am extremely disapointed with iCloud, and I sorely wished I had of stayed with my MobileMe service.  I initally thought this would be server contact issues, but there HAS to be something wrong with my devices, or sync services.
    Surely other users have encounted this error, I would love to know the strategies used to resolve this.

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • I was trying to get my personal computer contacts and calendar in outlook on my iphone and ipad.  I was told to use icloud.  I went to control panel and then icloud and selected my contacts and calendar.  Now ALL MY DATA IS DELETED FROM OUTLOOK.  Help!!

    I was trying to get my personal computer contacts and calendar in outlook on my iphone and ipad.  I was told to use icloud.  I went to control panel and then icloud and selected my contacts and calendar.  Now ALL MY DATA IS DELETED FROM OUTLOOK.  Help!!

    I was just on the line with Apple Tech support.  First of all, I learned that when you link contacts to iCloud, it moves all your contacts to another/new address book...look for aother address books and you will see it.  But I found the new address book dies weird things and changes the "Display Names" format.  Evidently (per Apple support tech) there is no way to avoid this problem...so I just delinked the iCloud from my contacts.  The contacts stayed in the iCloud address book...so I exported them to a CSV (comma separated value) file and saved it on my desktop and then imported that list into my original contacts folder.  Now everything is back the way it was...being able to use my contact address book the way I did before.  I was surprised that they never considered or realized this problem...but then the tech guy admitted that they really don't have A LOT of experience using Windows PC's.

  • I have just synced phone/ipad and PC and now have triple contacts and calendar events....Any suggestions?

    I have just synced to iCloud with the new iOS 5 operating system and now all my calendar events and contacts have duplicated. Any suggestions?

    I have already tried this but still the same. I have also tried un-pairing my speakers and re-pairing! Still get broken playback at times. This even happens when I am close to the bluetooth receiver.

  • Why do I get duplication of Contacts and Calendar events.

    I just purchased the Iphone 3GS and have a problem with duplication of calendar events AND contacts.
    I "THINK" the problem is that I set it up to syn with mobile me and also perhaps with my itunes when I connect it for ringtones, video's, music, etc.
    For example under contacts, I have a section called "From my Mac" and one "my xxx@mac (mobile me)
    I think this is where it comes from.
    Any help on explaining this and what to do without screwing my system up, would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Up to a week ago I'd been using my Outlook calendar to synch to the iPhone. Last week I set up a Google calendar and synched that with Outlook and in turn with the phone - so I got two lots of everything appearing in my phone calendar, and opted for just one to show.
    As mine both had identical information in (as they came from the same source) there was little point my having the Google calendar synched to the phone, it was more an excercise of checking what would happen.
    I have a choice of either of the calendars to show through, or both - and if I choose both naturally there are double entries.
    I assume what you have done is the same.
    So for the calendar just decide which of the two you want to be the one that shows through on the iPhone.
    I don't have duplicate contacts though.

  • Iphone does not sync OUTLOOK CONTACT NOR CALENDAR EVENTS (XP)

    I was able to sync photos- music but no contacts-Calendar events from OUTLOOK 2003. The fact that my outlook PST file is not located in the default Outlook directory could be the problem but I am not sure. Anyone out there having the same issue??? Please let me know. thank you. Phil

    Have no problems here with Vista and Outlook 2003. PST is not saved in default location, syncs without a hitch.
    Seems problems are hit or miss. I have had a flawless experience while my brother who bought one at the same time is having a nightmare of a time with his install. From iTunes 7.3 crashing to activation nightmares.
