Duplicated calendars on iPhone - only one syncs

On my iPhone my calendars are showing three times. Only one of them seem to sync with iCal. Is there someone who can tell me how I can solve this problem?

Sorry for the silent treatment over here - this problem has gotten me and thousands of other frustrated iPhone owners..
This solution isn't 100%, but it's worked well enough for me:
Have you tried disabling your iPhone's MobileMe contact & calendar syncing? You can still sync them through iTunes, but having MobileMe syncing on will produce duplicates. Triplicates, even.
On your iPhone, go to: Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/[your Me account], and turn off contact and calendar syncing. Only sync these through iTunes.
I still have all the duplicates from my own dual-sync experience, and I'm not sure how to get rid of them, short of manually deleting them all. I just ignore them.
Hope that works for you!

Overseas: 2 iphones, only one picking up service

hey quick problem, I have 2 iphones over here on my vacation, a 3g and a regular one. The problem is that the regular one is picking up the cell phone carriers over here(vodaphone) automatically but my 3g recognizes the different networks, but does not allow itself to connect to it even when i click on the carrier in the settings. What is causing this, I'm pretty sure the settings are set tthe same, but i could be wrong. please let me know

It does show each iPhone as separate iPhones.
There is no device limit for the number of iPods and/or iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and same iTunes account on the same computer.
Each iPhone can have different sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer. This is selected under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with each iPhone.
For music, you can create an iTunes playlist or multiple playlists for the music you want transferred to your iPhone only. Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences, choose selected playlists, genres, and artists. Select the iTunes playlist or playlists in the window below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
The same under the Podcasts, Video, Photos, and Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Your wife does the same with her iPhone.

2 videos, same format, only one syncing. Why?

I have 2 home movies. One will sync and the other will not. I have tried converting the file 1 billion times using MPEG Streamclip and Handbrake. Nothing works. They are both the very same format. Both are MPEG-4, 720x576, H.264, AAC. So, why will one sync and not the other?

Which default setting are you using for the conversion with HandBrake?
Since I have an Apple TV, I use the Apple TV default setting which also allows for transferring the video to my iPhone.

IPhone only part syncing music from iTunes

The other day I had a problem with my iPhone 4S where safari would not open.
I tried turning off and on rebooting and backing up and restoring, none of these worked. eventually I restored from an older icloud backup and this solved the issue, or so i thought.
I then when to play some music in my car on the way to work. First song of an album played fine, then I after that the next song was on play but the time indicator wasnt moving and there was no sound and this was the same problem for a lot of my purchased music
I then deleted everything off the iphone and re-synced, this time the songs that werent playing before were not even syncing.
I think it may be because i reached my 5 computer autherisation limit so i have unauthorised all computers. This didnt work. Ive tried deleting my whole library and re-importing it, still didnt work. Ive tried re-importing a couple of songs that i know werent working and still they wont show up on my iphone when i sync.
The only way ive been able to get round this is by redownloading the songs from icloud via my phone, but this is going to take ages!!
I can;t see why some songs on an album are syncing and others not, it makes no sence. does anyone have any ideas whats going wrong?
I am using the latest version of OS X lion/ itunes / iOS.

De-sync all music to remove it from the device. Next perform a reset by holding down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go. Last, re-sync your music.

Can I have calendar alerts for only one calendar with multiple calendars?

My wife has multiple calendars on her iPhone (mine and hers), but she would like to receive alerts/notifications only for the items on her calendar. Is this possible? (This seems to be the opposite problem from what this person experienced: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8479193.)
We sync with Outlook on a PC via iTunes.

I have the very same problem. In our company, we have shared CalDAV calendars for every employee. I receive and sync those to my Mac and to my iPhone/iPod Touch; on both platforms I only want alerts for my personal appointments, and not to get alerted when my colleagues have a business lunch.
Interestingly, in iCal on Mac OS X, there is an option "Ignore Alarms" for every single shared calendar, and I can cherry-pick those that I want to get alerted about. This is exactly the behavior I want on the iPhone, too, which regrettably is not possible (yet?).
The other option would be to forbid alarms in shared calendars for everybody, which is not feasible, too, because people might want to get alarms without having to duplicate the date to some personal calendar first.
So if anyone has a practical solution to this problem, I'd be happy to hear about it. Thanks!

Why iPhone only allows sync ALL contacts, not selected groups?

THE OBJECTIVE: To back up the names and phone numbers I've manually input into my iPhone.
THE MONKEY WRENCH: When I plug my iPhone 3g into my Powerbook, under the Info tab is a Contacts section. The Sync Address Book contacts box is checked, and below that box are two choices: All contacts or Selected groups. Computer will not allow me to choose Selected groups, nor can I check off "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into this group", which sounds like, if working properly, would all me to back up my iPhones names and numbers. Please help!
If you're feeling motivated, you can check out my still unsolved post about trouble I've been having with synching TV shows and let me know if there's one solution to address both issues. Thanks a gazillion.

Step 1: Configure your iPhone for iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and toggle the Contacts to Off. It will ask if you want to Keep your contacts that are present in your iPhone or Delete them. Delete only if you have a backup in your Mac or PC. We will be syncing your contacts again from your Mac or PC and upload it to iCloud.
Step 2: Now, sync contacts with iPhone using your Mac or PC.
Step 3: Next, go to Settings > iCloud and toggle the Contacts to On. This will Turn on the contacts again. You will get the following screen once you turn on the contacts under iCloud.
Step 4: You can click on Merge. This will upload your contacts to your iCloud account in a while.
Step 5: Go to the contacts app to verify if you have only all the contacts synced to your iCloud account.

ICloud wiped calendars from iPhone - also not syncing contacts

I migrated from mobileme to iCloud - all functions appeared to be ok and syncing between iMac, MacBook Pro and iCloud viewed online via browser.
Mail is syncing with my iPhone and iWork is syncing and working fine.
But it does not appear to be syncing my contacts with the iPhone - I made a couple of minor alterations to contacts as a way of checking - amendments appear on both iMac and MacBook Pro and iCloud in browser, but not on phone
But most importantly - all my calendars have been wiped from my iPhone.
Mail, contactsm calendars, reminders, bookmarks, notes and find my iPhone are all turned on on my iPhone
I have:-
1) Ensured I had a Wi-fi connection
2) turned iPhone off and on again
3) held home and power buttons to reset iPhone
4) turned calenders (and contacts) off in iCloud sync and turned back on again after a few minutes
5) gone to settings for mail,calender, contacts and changed the sync setting from events 3 months back to all events and tried refreshing calendar again.
6) I have checked the iCloud sync settings for calendar and contacts in system preferences on both my iMac and MackBook Pro
7) Have done a full restore of iPhone software
8) gone through 2 - 5 again having done the full restore
9) deleted the account on my iPhone and then re-entered account
10) gone through 2 - 5 again having re-entered account details
Cannot think of anything else I can do - visted local Applestore, but they were unable to help without a Genius Bar appointment which I have for four days time. If anyone can help more immediately than this, then I'd be grateful.
thanks

randers4-
Thank you for all of your help.
But, it's still not working for me.
Firstly I'm new to Icloud. I have a feeling that I am missing something basic between Icloud and Iphone. I am at the point were I'm not even sure what to ask. Sorry for all the "possible" over info, but I wanted to be as clear as possible.
Goal:
-Changing from Iphone 3gs to 4s
-Download all info from Icloud to the new 4s
-only 1/2 contacts from 3gs are uploaded to Icloud, hence, 4s doesn't have the contacts
-problem: my computer is so old it (itunes)will no longer sync to either Iphone.
- "Test contact" performed on Iphone 3gs and it did upload to Icloud. So it's on the Icloud website contacts page when I log in.
- I have clicked import SIM contacts and uploaded to Icould. However I'm not sure if it really did it. It did say complete, but who knows.
Iphone 3gs 6.1.2
Groups:
All Exchange √
All Icloud √
Family √
Friends√
Setting> mail contacts calendars>
mail = default Icloud
contacts = default Icloud
Setting > Icloud> = all switched to ON except Notes.
Setting > Icloud> Storage Backup>Manage Storage>Backups>Backup Options = All apps ON, Camera Roll ON---- But no Contacts is there---I find this strange.
About 1/2 of my contacts are missing.
All Exchange contacts are in Icloud
All Friends and Family contacts are in Icloud
If I click on All Icloud the Freinds and Family groups check mark automatically too. So they look to me like they are "under" Icloud All group.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind Regards

Calendar on iPhone does not sync to iCloud

I have never synced anything to iCloud before. I would like to sync my iPhone 4s Calendar to the iCloud (iOS 7.0.4). I have followed all the instructions to sync to iCloud using the settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendars and iCloud, but it doesn't seem to be sending my iPhone Calendar data to the iCloud. Since I don't have any other means to back up my Calendar, I can' afford to lose my iPhone calendar data, since iTunes no longer syncs my iPhone calendar data to my iMac. The calendar data on my iMac is not current . Any suggestions would be welcome.

Welcome to the Apple Community limill.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Calendar on iPhone & MacBook not syncing correctly

I have lost various items from last year from my iPhone calendar, they do appear on my MacBook. I entered some of the old items again as I needed them for reference, they appeared OK but when I went to the next date to do another entry and came back again they had disappeared fro my iPhone, so I tried again, same result. When I checked again on my MacBook both of the new items appeared on the calendar along with the original entry. I have synced again to iCloud but they still do not show up on the phone.

My calendar on iPhone doesn't sync with my iPad or mac

Gmail accounts added to iphone. only one account will work.

I have a new iphone5. I have 2 gmail accounts. I can only add one account but it will not accept my other account either by itself or with the other account. the second account that won't be accepted is protected by the google verification code. Any ideas?

Have you visited Google's website regarding how to create and access a 2nd Gmail account with an iOS device that is protected by the Google verification code?

Is it possible to sync only contacts and calendars to iPhone when syncing wirelessly?

I love wireless syncing between iPhone and iTunes, but I would prefer it if it only synced contacts and calendars and left the video and audio sync to happen when the iPhone was connected via a cable, as syncing all of my media files takes forever. Is it possible to set my iPhone or iTunes up to work this way?

Thanks, modular747. Sure, but isn't there only one "sync" button that will then sync everything, and isn't iTunes the only place to control what is synced?
I suppose one way to fix this would be to sync my calendars and contacts using iCloud. This would also mean that my iPad was kept in sync more regularly. But I use Google Calendar as a Calendar app and sync this to iCal via BusySync, and am yet to find a way that I can get this (and my Google contacts, which sync with my Address Book) to play nicely.
If there's some way I can use iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts between Mac, iPhone and iPad, while maintain the synchronisation I've currently got running between iCal, Address Book and Google, I'd love to hear it

Ipad 3 is syncing only one way with outlook 2010

I am seeing calendar items that I add in Outlook 2010 added to the Ipad. However, appointments added in Ipad are not being added to Outlook.
I have not checked contacts (All were added to the Ipad).But I have not tried adding a new contact yet.
Is this normal behavior? If not, how do I get it to work properly?

It appears that I can't edit my original question. So here is new information. It is syncing. However, the contacts are syncing with my personal folders. The calendar is syncing from Outlook to Ipad from my personal folders. However, the calendar is syncing to Outlook in a hotmail calendar in the profile that I didn't know existed. How do I get it set right.
I tried to select the calendar. However only one calendar is available in itunes. It must be the correct calendar as it is syncing fine. So how do I get ipad to sync back to the personal folders calendar instead of the hotmail calendar in my profile?

Why is Mail rule syncing only one way?

Odd. I've got a Mac mini and an iMac, both running 10.8.2, both with iCloud syncing Documents & Data. Mail on the mini has rules -- created on that machine -- for SpamSieve that are not syncing to the iMac; in fact, both rules disappear every few days and I only notice because spam starts piling up.
On the other hand, changes to Mail rules on the iMac are synced to the mini. The mini has been running Mountain Lion for five months; the rules only started disappearing after I upgraded to ML on the iMac last month.
Any ideas on why the syncing is only one-way?

Duplicates on iphone only

This is very weird!! Recently synced both mine and husband iphones through iTunes and upgraded the software. (iCloud was another matter altogether) but since the sync we find that several files are duplicated on the iphones only - not in the itunes library (we have separate libraries) Also, the icon for the album is missing although on itunes itself it is there. Can anyone help with this? An exampled of this is - Norah Jones shows in iTunes perfectly - just as she always did - but on the iphone we have a blank album cover - open the album and there are duplicates of each track listed one after the other. So track 1 is track 1 and plays as track 1, but the next in the list is also Track 1 and plays as track 1 - although this time it has a picture of the allbum??? Check this in itunes and it shows only the correct album with the album picture........ getting a little cheesed off! I posted similar thread before but without ANY response... please help someone. (Yes both the Mac and the iphones have been turned on/off)

Morning! Having search most of the evening I found a thread that helped with removing tracks from the iPhone! I never knew you could just swipe accross the track and then delete it - so Im off now to go through my iPhone to delete all duplicate tracks that way and then sync again to see what happens!! Thanks to Katrinas reply back in 2010 - I am now moving forwards.. SM:)
