Duplicate/triplicate events on iPhone

I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5. My computer has OS 10.6.8. I started iCloud for only three apps; Contacts, Calendars and Find My Phone. After looking around some, I realized that with iCloud turned on for Calendars, it would only sync with iCloud and warned that "syncing with the computer could cause duplicates". Well, syncing with the computer then caused duplicates calendars, one set "From My Mac" the other "From iCloud". So I deleted the iCloud accout from the iPhone and deleted ALL Contacts and Calendars from the online iCloud account. I did restart the iCloud accout at that point but only for the "Find My Phone" feature.
Now after syncing my iPhone every ALL DAY event shows up in triplicate and every TIME SPECIFIC event shoes up in duplicate.
I have tried erasing all the calendars from my iPhone and refreshing the iCal Cache file, but the multiple entries continue to persist after syncing.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you
jon

If you want calendars to be synced between your iMac and your iOS devices, I think the best option is to use iCloud. If you have some calendars you just want to have on your Mac, store them in the "on my mac" section. Disable syncing of calendars in iTunes, turn on calendar syncing in the iCloud settings of you Mac and your iOS devices.
IPhone and iPad by default keep every calendar ever synced to them. Make sure all calendars are really removed from the iPhone before turning on iCloud calendar syncing.

  • Duplicate iPhoto events in iPhone/iPad sync

    I'm getting duplicate iPhoto events showing up when I try to sync my iPhone and/or iPad. These events are not in duplicate in iPhoto itself. I have tried repairing the iPhoto database and it's file permissions. I have no idea why iTunes reads these events like so (see included screen shot). Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance.

    Hi!
    I also have this problem.
    iTunes 10.2.2 (12)
    iPhoto 9.1.2 (605)
    It seems that iTunes separates the pictures of an event, which was imported at different times.

  • How to duplicate iCal events on iPhone?

    Is it possible to duplicate/copy an eventy in iCal on your iPhone and then paste it to another date?  This is easy in iCal on my Mac, but I can not seem to find a way to do it on my new iPhone.  Thanks.

    Not sure, but you might want to check your calendar on your iPhone under Clendars button (top left), then see if you have a check mark next to more that one calendar named "Calendar".  If so, try unchecking the one under On My iPhone and see if that removes the duplicates.

  • I get MANY duplicate iCal events on my iOS6 iPhone when I sync with iTunes--no iCloud setup!

    I get MANY duplicate iCal events on my iOS6 iPhone when I sync with iTunes. I do not have iCloud setup to sync at all. I do not have iCloud Calendars in iCal on my Mac (10.6.8), just On My Mac. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?

    Hi,
    Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
    My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
    It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
    Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
    I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
    Thanks for any help in advance

    This fixed my problem - finally!!

  • 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."

  • Gamil contacts Duplicates, Triplicates X4 etc.

    I'm new to the forum but.. I hope this is where I can get some good advice. My iPhone 3gs syncs my google contacts but gives me duplicates/triplicates of my contacts. I searched the web and it seems to be a common problem but the sites that I visited do not give clear direction. Can some one help with this? Thanks

    You're welcome.
    Sorry, but I'm a little lost by your response, so I'll ask again.
    Do you have Sync Contacts with the Outlook address book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes in addition to syncing contacts over the air on your iPhone with your Gmail account that is being accessed as an Exchange account on your iPhone?
    If yes to both, doing both is not required and will duplicate the contacts on your iPhone.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs from my iPhone 5s?

    Almost all of my itunes music shows up twice on my iPhone, but not in my iTunes library. I've tried to delete one of the duplicates from my actual iPhone, but that doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    Hello jojorey,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    It looks like you are deleting your song correctly. The cloud and arrow is indicating that the song is no longer on your iPhone, but remains available from iCloud. See this: 
    Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud.

  • ICal and iPod - can't remove triplicate events in iPod's calendar - why?

    I've got iTunes set to sync Address Book and iCal with my iPod 60G Video unit. In iCal, I have 2 calendars - School and Home and I've only have a few events on a few days accross several months. In my iPod Calendar, it displays both calendar folders correctly, but when I view "school", it shows events in triplicate and for every day; However, in iCal, it's as I want it.
    I've tried deleting files from my iPod, deleting p.list prefs for iCal etc, backing up iCal to my documents folder and dragging that to my iPod -- none of which worked. I also opened the iPod version of my Calendar events and used it to update my iCal events and then disconnected the iPod. I removed the triplicate events from iCal and saved it to backup, then reconnected my iPod to update the "corrected" calendars via iTunes. But still, when I connect my iPod and boot iTunes, it updates with triplicate events of my school calendar. I've got my prefs in iTunes set to update both calendars (school and Home). What am I not doing? Any ideas?

    I don't have an answer - but I'm having a similar problem: my entries are repeating everyday on my iPod even though they're only single day events in iCal

    They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
    Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events

  • How do I delete an event on iPhone calendar with no edit icon

    How do I delete an event on iPhone when no edit icon appears

    Have you tried to open the event and delete it? Tap on the event to open it, then scroll down to delete it.
    You can also try toggling iCloud syncing for the calendar on and off (or off and on), this sometimes makes hte edit button reappear.
