ICloud Calendar Birthday Additions

iCloud is driving me nuts with birthdays. I am guessing birthdays I had in contacts when I first set up my iCloud worked fine because I see the little birthday icon on my Outlook, iPhone and iPad. However, I can't get new ones on into my Outlook iCloud Calendar without doubling them on my iPhone and iPad.
If I enter a birthday for a contact on my iPhone or iPad, it syncs them to both devices, but does not put them on my iCloud Calendar. If I put the birthday in my contacts in Outlook on my iCloud contacts, it puts it on my Outlook calendar, but not my Outlook iCloud calendar. It does, however, put the birthday on my iPhone and iPad calendars. If I then copy it over to my Outlook iCalendar, it then puts a second birthday on my iPad and iPhone calendars.
This is driving me nuts!!! Anyone?

Why does my iCloud calendar have multiples of every event?

I have my Outlook calendar set to sync to iCloud. My iCloud calendar has double, triples, sometimes even more instances of the same event. This is true for every event on the calendar. When I look at the local calendar on Outlook, there is only one instance of each event. How do I stop this from happening? I am getting tons of event reminders popping up on my phone, super annoying.

How can I see birthdays in iCloud calendar on PC

Hello
I recently have been converting over to iCloud for my contacts and calendar and using Outlook on PC.
I understand the online version of iCloud calendar can include a 'birthdays' calendar which sources the data from iCloud contacts.
However when viewed on a PC there is no such calendar that I can see. Is there any way that I can get a birthdays calendar on PC without having to create one manually. Ultimately I would like to enter a birthday on my iPhone and have it appear on a calendar in outlook. Is this possible with outlook client?
Thanks

The data isn't actually stored in iTunes. iTunes is like a card catalog that allows you to access information from the various places that it's stored on the computer. SMS and contact info will be viewable in whatever program you sync contact information. The backup actually keeps the files, but doesn't make them viewable, I'm pretty sure. You can only see the info you've actually synced.

How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone. It is simple when you know how. Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac. When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences. I just disabled one of them. Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

Birthday's not updating in iCloud calendar

When changing the a contact's birthday in Address Book on my mac the relevent change happens automatically in iCal on my mac. But when I look at my calendar in iCloud, there are duplicate birthdays for the same person. When I delete the contact altogether, the two birthdays are still in the iCloud calendar.
In summary: birthdays are not updating in the iCloud calendar (changes or deletes). Any ideas?

I too have this issue. I do not have the same orphan/duplicate entries on my iPhone, but dupes and orphan birthday entries on my iCloud calendar. Any way to remove these?

Someone elses birthday's showing up on my icloud calendar

All of a sudden I am getting someone else's birthdays added to my I cloud calendar. they are in a different color then my entry's. Has anyone else had this problem>?

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
If new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com. Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On. Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.

ICloud calendar duplication

my icloud calendar shows up twice any suggestions on how to remove?

Check how you have the syncing set up with your various devices. For instance if you have your computer set up to sync to your iPhone via iTunes and you also have it synching the calendar with iCloud and your iPhone is set to sync calander with the iCloud it can cause duplicate entries.

HT5373 duplicate entries in iCloud calendar

I see multiple entries of the same event on my iCloud calendar. All my devices ( Macbook and iPhone) shows this. I tried deleting some of the calendars but no use. How do I delete those duplicate entries?
Thanks

I have had similar duplication problems. All sorted by de-synching. BUT! My wife's birthday now appears on two different dates, following earlier experiments. I delete her card in Address Book, and both related iCal birthday entries disappear. When I add a new Address record for her, whatever I put under Birthday, the old error date shows in iCal.
Running 10.5.2 and iCal 3.0.2, I have to admit I cannot find the Calendars folder in ∼Library/Application Support. Possibly this would cure the problem.

Multiple issues with iCloud calendar, notes, and iDevices

So many issues... where to begin?
Tonight I created a new note entry on my iPad. We had a birthday party for our twins yesterday, and as we opened the presents tonight, I logged who gave us what so my wife and I can write thank-you letters and credit the right people for the right gifts. I e-mailed the note (straight from the Notes app) to my wife to be sure she had a copy of it, and it sent me a CC: automatically per my e-mail setup.
That was a few hours ago. as of now, I have 137 copies of that e-mail in my in-box and they're still coming.
A few weeks ago, when I finally got my new iMac (previously I was on a G5 tower that was dying and, of course, unable to upgrade to an OS X capable of supporting iCloud... since I knew my me.com account would be closing soon, I bit the bullet and bought new hardware to support iCloud), I set up my iPad (first-gen model with latest supported iOS) and my wife's iPhone (iPhone 4 with latest supported iOS) to use iCloud with my account so we could continue to share calendars, etc. As much as I resented iCloud being forced on me just when I finally got me.com mostly working, I did like the idea of push-updates to calendars. With twin toddlers, my wife was regularing booking playdates and other activities which affected my schedule, so live syncing of our calendars sounded like a good idea at the time. Nevertheless, all I got was headaches from iCloud ever since setting it up:
We each now have double and triple calendar entries.
Some of her Notes disappear on her after a iPhone sync on the iMac.
Push notifications and calendar updates have never once worked. In fact, when entering items on what should be our iCloud calendar on one device or another, many items NEVER synced, over the air OR in iCal.
I can now no longer sync to my work calendar, which is in iCal on my work computer, a Mac Pro tower not yet on an OS X version capable of iCloud syncinc (for what that's worth). I have no control over updates to my MacOS at work, and feel as though it wouldn't matter if I did because live updates don't work for me anyway. But now I have had to re-enter a year's worth of meetings, work holidays, paydays, and late-night bookings, previously only on my Work calendar but once syncable to home, on my home calendar. Manually.
Oh, by the way, since I started typing this, my e-mailed Note from earlier tonight has continued to flood into my mailbox and now I'm up over 150 copies and they're STILL flooding in. I can see them piling up.
Rhetorically, why does iCloud suck so much? Literally, seeking an answer: what, if anything, am I doing wrong... and what can I do to make it work properly?
I feel like I did due dilligence, reading up on how to set things up right. I'm no stranger to Apple's way of doing things - I've been a Mac user since the SE/30 days. But while MobileMe and me.com merely frazzled me, iCloud is seriously messing up my life. I hate it and I hate being forced to use it in order to take full advantage of my hardware. The concept is great but I find that, in practice, it's an awful system (at least so far - hopefully, it will improve).
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
- Mike

By anychance did you or your wife use any forwarding options under mobile me.

Any way start over from scratch to fix iCloud calendar issues in Outlook 2010?

I'm suddenly having perplexing iCloud calendar issues in Outlook. Forget the hundreds and hundreds of duplicate entries for birthdays and holidays, and the thousands of duplicate contacts - I've just been manually deleting them from Outlook. I also tried manually deleted iCloud files from iCloud on outlook, but this does not seem to affect what is on iCloud itself. I've now got an issue where if I add an appointment on my iPhone, it appears on Icloud but not in Outlook 2010 even though the iPhone calendar is displayed in Outlook. iPad appointments show up on iPhone, iCloud and Outlook. iCloud entered appointments show up on iPhone, and iPad and Outlook. Of course it is maddening that there is a separate calendar for each (there is only one of me, so why a separate calendar in Outlook for every source is beyond me). How can I get my iPhone to start showing up again in Outlook? Another issue is that now every time I click on calendar in Outlook, it takes 2-3 minutes to display the calendar because iCloud seems to be syncing. I'm assuming this is because there a so many duplicates. I've removed Icloud from Outlook. Ran a repair on Outlook. Uninstalled iCloud. Reinstalled. Re-added to outlook., but the issue is never fixed. I'm considering make a brand new Apple ID and abandoning my current one, but that means I have to change my iPad, iCloud, iPhone, family iPhones, Outlook, readd credit card, reload all of the data. That's a pain. I sure would be nice to have a simple way of editing the iCloud data and adding devices (and having a more descriptive source name would be even better).

I found sync options under "info"
I was looking to sync the information from the phone back into outlook, It looks like these options will sync what is on outlook into the phone..
I wanted to export from the phone (which has all of the old appointments and updated contacts) , back into outlook
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Icloud Calendar are not correct synced

I have problems with my iCloud Calendar - it will erase items in my calendar when I open the browser. I have tested now on firefox and chrome, same problem. On my ipad and iphone is it ok, the times are not erased. To get the items up in the calendar on my pc (in the browser), I have to updated from my ipad, one and one item.
Can someone tell me what is happening with iCloud ??????????

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

How do iCloud calendars work with different devices?

Hi
iCloud is driving me mad! All I want it to do is what it promised - keep several devices in sync, but it seems to either do nothing or spawn duplicates. Part of my problem is that I can't find anything that tells me exactly what it does with each device.
Here's my set up:
One Mac - MBPro 17" running iCal, Address Book and Mail (I've completely given up on trying to get Entourage 2008 to play nicely) on Lion
One PC - W7 Pro using Outlook - this is normally my main machine (sorry)
One iPad
One iPhone
Appointments are normally made either on the PC or the iPhone and then disseminated to the other devices. iPhone and iPad are normally synced and recharged to the PC, so sync quite happily with Outlook.
The odd one out is the Mac, which i am trying to get synced without lots of duplication.
Originally I set up iCloud on everything. So on all devices I ended up with 2 calendars - 'On this Device' and 'iCloud'. Why do I need two calendars? if I make a change to my device's calendar I just want iCloud's calendar to change and for it then to change all other devices! I really don't understand the logic of what is going on and this is why I am having problems. Am I supposed to turn visibility of iCloud calendar off everywhere so that it just does its stuff in the background? I presume so, otherwise every appointment is duplicated on every device.
I've now turned it off everywhere because i ended up with three or four calendars showing on every device and massive duplication problems. Then when I turned it off iCloud deleted all my historical information and left me with a blank calendar. Thanks Apple.
What's really missing from Apple's documentation is an explanation what is actually going on under the hood and therefore of the best strategy to adopt.
Should I let the PC and iPad/iPhone do their stuff without iCloud and just sync one device to iCloud and also sync the Mac to it. This would reduce the chances of lots of duplication.
Any guidance gratefully received.
TP

Will I still get two calendars on outlook on the pc, because that caused lots of confusion last time?
I don't know about Outlook on PCs I'm afraid, so can't answer that question.
if I end up cut down to just one calendar on the ios devices, will that work off line?
Yes. All devices/computers cache copies of the calendars locally for offline use, then any changes are automatically uploaded next time you have an internet connection.

Calendar birthdays off by one day

I guess this has been a pretty common problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has found a solution (other than to manually re-input birthdays)? Here's the specifics on my situation.
My wife and I each got an iphone last month and we each have the latest version of IOS 5. I put quite a few birthdays in my contacts list and they showed up fine on my calendar. I shared my contacts with my wife using Bump. The birthdays show up correctly in her Contacts information - but some of them (and only some, not all) show up on her calendar a day early. We tried doing a reset of her phone to repopulate the calendar birthdays from the contact info, but that didn't make any difference. Neither of us has Timezone Support turned on.
Anybody have a solution?

(1) If your iPhone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPhone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
(2) sync your iPhone to iTunes.
(3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
(4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
(5) Sync again.
Now check Calendars on iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.

Calendar birthdays on lumia 800 are of people I do...

My phone has birthdays on calendar of people I don't know and have never heard of. The birthdays of people I do know don't appear at all. Any suggestions as to how I can solve this?

If you want to delete the iCloud calendar that has the duplicate holidays, open Calendar on your iPad, tap Calendars on the top left, tap Edit in the Show Calendars list, tap the holiday calendar you want to delete, then tap Delete Caledar at the bottom and tap Done.
