Duplicate iCal entry

When I sync my iPhone with my Macbook using i Cloud I get duplicate entries in my iCal on the Macbook. How di I fix this??

I had the same problem and this is what worked for me.
Go into iCal Preferences and to the Accounts tab. On mine I had 2 iCloud accounts listed in the accounts box - not sure how that happened. Anyway the settings were the same for both so I just deleted one and that has worked for me.
So give that a go.

  • After iCloud upgrade i have duplicate iCal entries (iPhone is ok).  Why?

    After I upgraded to iCloud I now have duplicate iCal entries!  My iPhone does not have duplicates which is good.  In iTunes I AM NOT syncing my iCal.
    Thanks

    MyFord, Mirek,
    I have the same problem on iMac: some iCal entries duplicated, some triplicated, and some quadruplicated...
    If I change the colour of the On My Mac Calendars, right click on calendar, select Get Info, I can identify those entries, all single.
    Do the same on the iCloud Calendars, and the second and third entries on the day (Month View) change colour.
    So, the iCloud entries on the iMac are duplicated...
    iCal on my iPhone is OK, only a single entry...
    Where do I go from here...
    I suspect the first thing I should do is back up On My Mac Calendars. 
    What next?
    Robert
    Backup the On My Mac calendars (in iCal, File>Export>iCal Archive) and then delete them from iCal

  • Duplicate iCal entries after sync

    My sister just bought a Verizon iPhone, and did a sync using iTunes. Her iPhone is fine. But her iCal now has duplicate entries for every date. First off, how do i clear all those out, and second, what do you think went wrong?

    How long has she had the iPhone?
    Did she sync the iPhone with iTunes right away before manually entering any calendar events on her iPhone, or did she manually enter a number of calendar events on her iPhone before syncing? If the latter, are only the calendar events she manually entered on her iPhone duplicated in iCal on her Mac? If so, how many calendar events was she able to manually enter on her iPhone before syncing with iTunes and iCal since she purchased the iPhone?
    If iCal is used - iCal includes calendar events and so does the iPhone before the first sync for this data, a merge prompt should be provided with the first sync for this data. The other option is replacing whatever calendar events are available on the iPhone with what is available in iCal.
    First step, reset the sync history on her Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application.
    Next, remove all duplicate calendar entries in iCal on her Mac. Certainly there can't be that many calendar entries that were manually entered on her iPhone before the first sync with iCal.
    When iCal is cleaned up - all duplicates removed, under the Info tab for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes below the Advanced section at the bottom, select Calendars for replace info on this iPhone. Select Apply followed by a sync.

  • Duplicate iCal entries iOS4

    Have seen a few complaints but not a fix. iPhone4, current vers iOS4, enter iCal event, duplicates or triplicates, sometimes more. Seen some applescripts, but don't want band aid. Any step by step suggestions? Any software updates to permanently address this frustrating issue?

    I am also having a big problem with duplicate calendar entries- it's as if it has a mind of its own. Whenever I enter an event, either on my iphone 4, my ipad, or my Macbook Pro, it shows up at least two and recently up to 5 times per event - This is very frustrating. I have never had this problem before. I did set up mobile me to sync all my devices and somehow, it has gone haywire. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

  • Duplicate ical entries after upgrade to icloud

    Hi,
    Have no idea why this has happened, but basically I have been syncing using itunes manually via a cable, got the email from Apple to upgrade, went through the process, now its all on icloud, but I have noticed I have dupliate ical entries.
    what is the best way to sort this out now?

    ok, I just used the app iCal Dupe Deletor and it found 500 dupes, went through and deleted them all
    BUT.... when iCal updated to icloud, it just brought them all back from what I can see and they are all there again
    whats the best fool-proof way of sorting this?
    pleeeease there, so close but yet so far.....

  • Duplicate ical entries

    When I sync my iphone with iCal it places numerous copies of the same event in the iCal calendar.  There is no duplicates on the iPhone but using the iCal calendar with 4 copies of one event is maddening.  Can you guide me back to iCal sanity?  Thanks.  Sean

    Greetings Sean,
    Troubleshooting:
    1.) Backup all your data
    Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    2.) Clear out iCal:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical and/or just ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
    4.) If the issue persists repeat step # 2 and then reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.
    Hope that helps.

  • Duplicate Birthday Calendar SUBSCRIPTIONS (NOT duplicate reminders/entries)

    NOTE:
    +This is a DIFFERENT problem than the folks with duplicate iCal entries or duplicate reminders. For that, please either go to http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/ to download John Masey's iCal Dupe Deleter Applescript or go to one of the many forums on that topic.+
    MY PROB:
    Somehow, my *_iCal has hundreds of individual Subscriptions to "Birthdays"._* That is, I have over 800 Subscriptions.
    *How can I remove all of them so that I do not have to individually delete them?*

    I am a MobileMe user and I sync iCal between a PowerBook G4 and an iMac (PowerPC) G5. Both computers now operate on Leopard, but there was a long period where my PowerBook - my primary computer - was on Leopard while my iMac was on Tiger.
    I already tried iCal/Preferences/ShowBirthdaysCalendar, <turn off><turn on> (I also tried variations of on/off, off/on, on/close window, off/close window, etc.)

    Hi WBaggins,
    Have you tried backing up, then restoring your iCal database? The import back into iCal should clean up the data.
    In iCal go to the File menu and select 'Back up iCal...'. Save the file to your Desktop. In the Finder double click the backup (.icbu) file. iCal will ask if you're sure. It may also ask if you want to push the changes to MobileMe - say yes. Now wait.... how long depends on the number of events etc. you have but a few minutes is average.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Best wishes

  • Duplicate calendar entries - but not related to any kind of sync

    I went on holiday for 3 weeks and during that time my iPod touch discharged completely. When I came back and charged it up again I saw that it had reset its date back to what I presume is the factory default of 01 January 1970. I set the date and time to the current date and time - and then discovered that all my MONTHLY and YEARLY repeating calendar entries (but not the WEEKLY ones) have all been duplicated. This is not the result of any kind of sync up since (following a complete system rebuild following a virus attack) I have not yet reinstalled iTunes on my PC and I have not knowingly synced with Outlook because I almost never use it. If I delete an entry that has been duplicated then BOTH entries are deleted. Has anyone seen this behaviour and can tell me how I can remove the duplicate entries? I have looked for posts relating to duplicate calendar entries but they all deal with syncing-related problems whereas mine is not. Thanks.

    I have a similar issue. I bought an ipod touch last week and today I synced my entourage contacts, and address book. The address book entries are fine, but I have duplicates on my calendar. Now, its not duplicating per day, its duplicating the previous or next day. For instance, I have a birthday listed for today, it will also show for yesterday or tomorrow. What is causing this? I've checked the calendar on entourage and ical and both show correctly. (ical copies items from entourage)

  • Ios 5.0.1 duplicate calendar entries

    I've just updated to ios 5.0.1 on my iphone 4. Now I get these strange duplicate calendar entries appearing on my iphone calendar, which aren't present at all in iCal on my mac???.  I've never had these issues before and I thought that it may have something to do with iCloud, however I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on my laptop and I don't have iCloud settings to edit (I know I require OS X Lion for this to be available) via my settings on my mac.
    Now to the I've list:
    I've tried deleting the items manually on my iPhone (delete one event or all future instances), but they just don't go.
    I've tried deleting my iCloud account altogether on my iPhone, however when I resync via iTunes all they same duplicate events return to my phone???
    I've tried ticking the "Advanced/Replace information on this iPhone/Calendars" and then syncing again, but the same duplicate items return.
    I've searched forum post after forum post and I can't find a solution to this problem.
    I've removed most of the remaining hair through sheer frustration...
    Basically the Calendar on my iPhone is totally useless now.
    I won't be updating to OS X Lion as all of my audio software/hardware, of which I rely on on a daily basis, works perfectly with 10.6.4
    Does anyone have a fix for this?

    Oops! spoke too soon!
    All seemed to be working fine, but after adding a test item into my calendar on my iPhone, all the duplicate entries magically appeared again.??? 
    So now the annoying phantom duplicate entries are on my iPhone, but strangely not on my calendar on the iCloud.com web site and NOT on my calendar on my Mac.
    I don't think I can waste anymore time stuffing around with this.  Paper diary for me again I think...
    I'm very disappointed as I was very much looking forward to shared calendars!
    I hope Apple comes up with a fix soon.
    Here's hoping...

  • How to eliminate duplicate calendar entries after sync with iCloud ?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS5 and set up sync through iCloud. Now all my iCal entries appear twice on the iPhone, even though they appear only once on my Mac mini (running Lion).
    How do I stop this happening? And how do I get a clean calendar on the iPhone?
    Neil

    Ok, I solved my own problem. I thought I had unchecked "Sync Calendar" in iTunes on the Mac mini, but it turns out I had not. As soon as I unchecked that box and let the system delete that calendar, all the duplicate entries went away.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • How do I get rid of duplicate calendar entries in my notifications?

    I managed to get rid of all my duplicate calendar entries on my calendar.  I unchecked all but the two calendars I use.
    The problem is that when I go to my notifications screen, under "Calendar", it still shows all my entries like three times.  How do I get rid of this?  It takes up all the realestate on my notifications.

    Sounds like your syncing Calendars over the air with iCloud, as well as with a supported Calendar application on your computer. Doing both will duplicate your entries, so do one or the other, not both.
