Duplicate entries in Contacts and iCal

I have Lion on my iMac and IOS 5 on my i Phone 4S. Ever since I set up iCloud, everything in Contacts and on iCal is entered twice. Do I have to do anything with iTunes to stop this? What else if anything do I need to do to stop this?

Actually, we never signed up for iCloud on the 3G iPhone. That said, I followed someone's suggestion in another post on deleted contacts. I clicked the little arrow on a recent number of a friend that had called and then selected 'Add to Existing Contact.' Somehow, with that action, all my contacts reappeared immediately. What an entirely strange glitch.
Still not sure what to do with the duplicate iCal entries but will check out the iCloud settings on the iPhone 4 to see whether that fixes the problem.

  • TS4062 we have 2 different iphones. When we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together.

    we have 2 different iphones 4 and iphone 4s. Why when we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together?

    Well are you syncing them with the same acount?  Are you syncing them to the same source?  If you are both syncing the iCal on the same computer then you are going to end up sharing all the entries.  You need two differnt AppleId's and user ID on the comuter you are syncing to if you want everything to stay seperate.

  • I just purchased a new iMac, and I want to sync my contacts and iCal from my older Macbook Pro.  What is the easiest way to do this?

    I'm not sure how to sync contacts and iCal between my older Macbook Pro and my new iMac.  I've searched on Google for a few explanations, but they seem fairly complicated.  Are there any easy ways to make this happen?

    Is this a  one time sync or do you want to keep them synced all the time?
    If it's a one time sync you want to use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the old machine to the new one. You can use the Lion Setup Assistant tips for help.
    If you want to always keep them synced you have several alternatives. First is you can wait for iCloud which will be released this Fall according to Apple. You can find information about iCloud at www.apple.com/icloud. Several years ago I began using a tool called Synctogether which syncs Bookmarks, Calendars, Contacts, Widgets, Dock Items, Mail Accounts and Mail Signatures. You just check what you want synced, for example I do Bookmarks, Calendars and Contacts. This app sells for about $49 I think, however if I were you I'd wait for iCloud which will give you 5GB (which is a LOT) for free.

  • How do you sync Yahoo contacts and iCal calendar to the Touch

    Help results say "If you have an iPod, iPod nano, or iPod mini, you can sync it with Address Book contacts and iCal information on your computer" but we have the Touch. It also says "When the iPod icon appears in iTunes, select it and then click the Contacts tab", but no Contacts tab appears when I select the iPod on the left in iTunes.

    The tab you're looking for is called "Info". You should see it just after "Photos".

  • Cannot access the iCloud mail for some reason I don´t know. Worked perfect until Nov 28th, but a message with "incorrect ID/password" popped up. Contacts and iCal is accessible. Have tried from iPad, Mac, iPhone and PC. Any recommendations?

    Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

  • Duplicate entries in calendar and contacts

    I have many duplicate entries in my calendar and my contacts.  Deleting each one on my Z10 is very time consuming.  Is there a way to do this more efficiently, such as viewing the calendar and the contacts as a file on my computer, where editing would be much easier?

    Ok you can try one thing first, less invasive to see if it clears one set of contacts.
    Open your contacts
    Swipe down from the top edge > Settings.
    Scroll down and turn off each of the various contact accounts.
    tap BACK at lower left and now view your contacts.
    All that should be left are the "local" contacts. Do you see any, and are they the contacts duplicated?
    If so, then close all that and return to your main homescreen.
    To clear the local calendar or contact database on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone, complete the following steps:
    Swipe down from the top bezel on the home screen, and select Settings.
    Select Accounts.
    Tap the action menu button (3 vertical dots) on the bottom-right. 
    Select Clear Local Contacts or Clear Local Calendar.
    Now, view your contacts app again. Make sure the ALL TAB is displayed at lower left.
    Scroll through and check for duplicates.

  • Duplicate entries using outlook and iCloud

    How to restore original calendar in outlook after getting duplicate entries using iCloud between an iPhone and a PC

    Good point.  Actually, even the wireless sync can cause the problem.  "Sync iCal Calendars" in the "Info" tab should be UNCHECKED.

  • Duplicate entries for contacts after BB update 10.2.1.2102

    Hi,
    This is in regards to my boss's blackberry q10.
    I recently updated the OS to 10.2.1.2102 (done via phone update not via BB link).
    After the update, i noticed that all contacts had a duplicate entry with only one of them containing the proper details while the other was blank. I have uploaded the pics through the dropbox link below.
    pictures for BB Q10 
    If i delete the blank contact, it solves the problem but I have to do it individually for each contact.
    Is there a better way of doing this? Would really appreciate your help here.
    Thanks,
    Brennan

    If you open the blank one and go to the bottom and hit "Link" does it show what contact list the blank one is in?
    Also, where was the source of the contacts to begin with? Did they come from an Exchange mailbox? Another email account? Wired sync from Link?

  • Duplicate entries in Contacts

    I have an iMac using Mountain Lion, an iPad 3 and iPhone 4. (Both IOS6).  I have duplicates of Contacts and Calendar on my iPhone. 
    What have I done to cause this?  how can I fix this? 

    If you are syncing contacts over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, there shouldn't be any need to also sync contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. Doing both will duplicate the contacts on your iPhone.
    Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Contacts followed by selecting Apply.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your MobileMe account.
    Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. A warning message will be provided indicating this will delete all contacts downloaded from and being kept synchronized with your MobileMe online address book along with a prompt to save the contacts locally on your iPhone. Decline this prompt.
    This will not delete the contacts on your iPhone that were synced direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
    After confirming that your contacts are correct in the Address Book on your Mac and with your MobileMe online address book by logging in to your MobileMe account via webmail access using a browser - the contacts are not duplicated with the Address Book on your Mac and with your MobileMe online address book, follow this by turning Contacts back on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. You will be provided a merge prompt which you want to select.
    This should get rid of all duplicates on your iPhone.

  • IOS5 and iCloud have duplicated my contacts and iCal entries.  How to I fix this / only use one of them?, iOS5 and iCloud have duplicated my contacts and iCal entries.  How to I fix this / only use one of them?

    Since loading iOS5 and starting to sync with iCloud, I'm getting multiple contacts in my Macbook as well as on my phone. How do I get rid of one or the other? The best soultion would be to fix the error without having to delete all of the duplicates manually.  This also happens with my events and reminders in iCal.

    I had the same problem and many contacts amongst my 330 differant people were duplicated up to 3 times. What seemed to have happened is any one who was in your main addrees book and also in a list would be duplicated when icloud syncs.
    I solved it by switching off icloud on the phone. deleting all entries in my mac address book. Checking the address book was totally empty. Then manualy deleting all the duplicates on the phone. Once I was happy everything on the phone was correct I Then turning cloud back on the phone. thats synched back all entries to the mac and no problem since.
    Now when i amend/delet/add a contact it syncs acros  both devices within minutes.

  • I have a new hard drive, can I pull my contacts and ical from my iphone?

    I have a new hard drive and I would like to pull my ical and contacts from my iphone to replace what I lost but when I sync my phone it doesn't bring the data onto my computer and if I choose sync calendar and contacts it seems to want to erase the phone and replace with the blank computer data. Any ideas?

    If you are running OSX Lion and iOS 5, you can sync via iCloud.
    What versions of OSX and iOS are you running?

    Hi, I have problem with my calendar and contacts evan bookmarks. I can not sync them to iphone. I would like to but It does not. When I plug iphone to macbook its says this: ''itunes cannot sync iphone because syncing has been disabled. Do you want to enabled syncing?''I agree that I want to sync. after that it says: ''syncing cannot be enabled on this computer''.
    Photos and music is ok it sync. Also I authorize computer. Can you help me someone please?
    Sorry for my english.

    The message is coming from the iSync application on your Mac.
    Open iSync from the applications folder on the Macintosh.
    Go to the iSync menu and select Preferences.
    Make sure Enable Syncing is checked.
    You can also reset the sync history by clicking the button at the bottom of the preferences screen.
    If you still cannot enable syncing you will need to contact AppleCare support to troubleshoot your Mac OS.

  • Why did my contacts and calendar disappear?

    After being away for several days, I logged on to find Address Book contacts and iCal calendar empty.  They're empty when I use the icons.  When I access through Outlook bar, entries appear, but it looks like Apple entries, not Microsoft entries.

    Are you using iCloud? If so, did you somehow log into www.icloud.com and accidently delete Contacts and/or Calendar entries? Or did you uncheck iCloud as a source for Contacts and Calendars in those applications? Maybe only 'On My Mac' is selected in those apps and that is empty for Contacts and Calendars.
