Events appear twice on iCal

I have been using iCal for months, first on a PowerBook G4 and now on a MacBook pro, and I have not previously encounterd any problems with it.
All of a sudden today, I noticed that all of the events appear twcie. I don't know how long this has has been occuring, but I don't remember seeing it just a day or two ago.
Has anybody else seen this happen? Could it be something that I did? Does anybody know how to fix it (short of deleting the second occurrence for EVERY event manually)?

Hi Alan,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you syncing iCal at all?
See my responses to this post to remove duplicates in iCal.

Why do my events appear twice on my ipad calendar

Why do my events appear twice in my ipad calendar

Are you syncing with itunes on the computer? If you have both sync with itunes and use icloud, that would produce duplicates.

Events appearing twice in iCloud

Hello! I need help about solving an issue with calendar events appearing twice in iCloud and the iOS systems connected. These events are rerlated to the default calendar "calendat". I have not been able to find a solution. Any suggestion?

Hi
Not very much sure what are you referring to here.
But based upon the partner function procedure assigned to transaction type you get the list of partner in the ticket
so if you have z transaction type with all partners so you are getting the entire set of partner including z and standard
so decide as per requirement which one you want and then enhance the z partner profile and further assign it to custom transaction type

Calendar new event appear twice in the week view

Sun Java(tm) System Calendar Server 6.3-20.01 (built Oct 23 2009).
Sun Java(TM) System Communications Express 6.3 update 1 , with patch
I create an event within the calendar server week view an the event appear duplicated in this view. The the same event can be viewed within the month, events and day view as one. This is happening within the UWC interface. Is this a bug? does someone has seen this before?
thanks in advance.

Some events appear at wrong time when publishing to web

When I publish my calendar and then view it on the web, events I have created myself in iCal are shown at the correct time, but any events I have recieved from Evolution (the email/calendar application my colleagues use) as an .ics file are shown exactly 8 hours later than they should be. Perhaps it's a coincidence that this is the exact time difference between the UK (where I live and work) and West Coast USA?
Just to make it clear: all events appear correctly in iCal and, if I send a subscribe email to myself and then subscribe to the published calendar, they also appear correctly in iCal. The only place where they appear at the wrong times is in the http://ical.mac.com/<username>/<calendarname> address, and it's only events that I have recieved via email.
Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve asking my colleagues to change settings on their Ubuntu workstations? Perhaps it's a problem with Apple's ical website that they need to fix? Either way, it makes the business of publishing my calendars largely useless.

It's likely that the problem is due to an incompatibility between the way that the two systems define time zones.
This is what I thought, but iCal itself seems to cope with this, whereas the .Mac iCal web server doesn't, which is a shame.
I suspect that you don't have time zone support switched on in the Advanced tab of Preferences. If you don't, try switching it on and then looking at one of your events and one of the rogue ones in the edit window. You'll probably see a difference in time zones - i.e. that the rogue ones are in US Pacific zone.
I switched on time zone support, but it didn't change any of the events in iCal at all; i.e., the "rogue" events still show at the correct time (and the incorrect time on the iCal web server).
If this guess is correct, you will need to get your colleagues to change their time zone since iCal and ical.mac.com are behaving as they should.
They are all on the same timezone as me - Europe/London (which is currently on DST).
If the guess isn't correct, report back and we'll work on a solution
Then I look forward to hearing from you!

Why are birthdays showing twice in ical

Why do Bithdays appear twice in ICal

It's bad design. It's not anticipating the result of the way they've implemented iCloud and the crazy, unintuitive way that you set up iCloud in System Preferences: Instead of taking you through a well-explained set of questions, the answers to which give you the results you expect (something like Mail) - Apple designers have gone for a spartan and elegant look, and dire and ambiguous warnings. It's like a bad, little time-wasting puzzle.
The iCloud Preference Pane should have been thoroughly tested. But the Apple designers knew what they meant. and feeling assured that the keeners in the Mac Communities will eventually figurre out a fix, post it somewhere, and you'll be able Google it and fix it yourself, they just left it like that.
It's the evolution of Apple culture.
(and yes I have the same problem, and no, I haven't found the fix yet.)

IOS - iCal problem - Events appear as "all-day" whereas they shouldn't

See below a conversation I had with a service provider.
There is a bug in iOS when dealing with events in UTC times.
Any solution to this?

Hi,
I noticed a small problem with a calendar to which I subscribed on my iphone.
Events that are configured to last from 6.30pm to 7.30pm appears as Full-day events on iOs.
Thank you for reporting this issue. We're aware that IOS sometimes
misinterprets the iCal files we provide. It appears that it is reading
the times properly (as seen in the event detail and grid views), but is
mislabeling the events as all-day in the list view. Is this what you're
seeing?
Thank you
Michael
Exactly.
In the event's details, times are OK, but in the listing, event appears as all-day.
But why only for 6.30 to 7.30? When i change times to 5.30 to 6.30, it shows fine.
It appears to be related to the interpretation of time-zone information. We provide the game times in UTC format and count on your device's calendar program to make the appropriate adjustments for the local time zone. When the provided UTC times span two days (e.g. 11:30pm - 12:30 am, before time zone adjustment), IOS seems to mislabel the event as "all-day".
Thank you.
Michael

Does this problem still occur with iOS8?

Disk appears twice in Project and Event window

There seems to be a bug in iMovie that causes the default disk to appear twice in the project and event viewer if you have a symbolic link in the path.
For years I have used a symlink to allow me to locate my Users area onto a second drive. This keeps all my user data separate from the more generic system data. Occasionally an application gets confused by this link and this seems to be the case with iMovie.
I think what is happening is that iMovie is trying to list my home directory which by default is usually on Macintosh HD/Users/louie but when it hits the symlink at /Users -> /Volumes/DataDisk/Users it sees this is actually on drive DataDisk. Then I think it looks for all mounted volumes and it finds DataDisk again and doesn't realize that this is already recorded and includes it again.
Other than this odity it seems to work just fine. If I add a project or event, initially it appears in only one of the DataDisk entries in iMovie. Then if I restart iMovie the new project and/or event will show under both entries. The actual project and events are correcty created in my ~/Movies directory.

I don't know an easy way to fix that if you are using a symlink.
Click on this link for some good information about how to set up your home folder in a different location. You can set it up on OSX where you will not need a symlink. On the other hand, if its working well for you, may be best to leave it alone.

My iCal events appearing on a colleague's Mac

a colleague advised me that my iCal events were populating his iCal. Not just one item, but all of my appointments going back to at least the beginning of the year , client meetings, etc.
He was unable to edit the items.
None of my Calendars are shared.
Have you heard of anything like this? The ramifications are unsettling (thank goodness no appointments with NSA or Leather & Lace Boutique)

susanjoan50,
Go to iCloud.com on your computer. Log in and open the Calendar App, to verify that your events are still present. If so, follow the Calendars Archive/Copy procedure listed in iCloud: Archiving or making copies of your iCloud data.
Then Quit/Force Quit iCal on your computer, and paste this text ~/Library into the Finder>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Next open the Calendars Folder in the User Library Folder and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
Also open the Preferences Folder in the same Library Folder, and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart, and open iCal.

Calendars and Contacts appearing twice on iPhone

Since upgrading to OS 3.0 on my iPhone 3G I am finding that all my iCal events are appearing twice in the Calendars app.
And when I do a spotlight search on the iPhone, I find that contacts are listed twice.
I am a mobileMe user, and use mobile Me to sync my info to the phone over the air, rather than syncing calendars and contacts via iTunes.
Is anyone else having this info aear twice? Any ideas on how I can get the duplicate info to disappear?

Do you have MobileMe? This occurs if you sync Calendar with your Mac iCal AND MobileMe, with both having the same listings. You get duplicates with Contacts for the same reason. If you open Calendar and touch the left arrow to show "Calanders" you'll find 2 copies, merged in "All"
To get rid of the duplicates:
1. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders > Accounts > MobileMe > Calendars > Off
You'll get a warning: "There are existing calenders synced with your Mac. Would you like to merge them with your MobileMe account?" Choose "Do not Merge". You then are asked what to do with the existing calenders on your phone - select "Delete."
2. Connect your phone to iTunes and go to the "info" tab of your device page and disable sync contacts with your Mac.
3. Settings > Mail.... > Accounts > MobileMe > Calendars > ON. It will take a few minutes to re-sync the calender without duplicates.
If you also have duplicates in Contacts, go though the same process.

Bug? My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future.

My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future even though I can see them on the month, week and day view. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried it all. I called the apple support and they checked on their iPads. They all did the same and they couldn't help me. They suggested trying this way. I'd like to be able to plan a few years ahead and the year view would make thing so easy!
Is this a bug?

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Event listing shortened in iCal

When I enter some events in iCal they do not appear in their entirety in the calendar. Some events use two or three lines, some cut off in only one line. The only solution I have found is to keep changing the 'name' of the event until I hit on one that does not cut off. Surely there is another solution! Any ideas?

ecernek,
There is no event list option on iCal like the one on the iPhone.
That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.

Events appear in Monthly view, but not Weekly or Daily

For some reason, during the week of Dec 2 through Dec 8, all my events appear just fine in the monthly view, but when I switch to weekly, none of them are there, and when I double click on a day that I know there should be an event, the event appears in the daily view. The event however will not appear if I go to the daily view using the button at the bottom. To make it even a little stranger, when I switch from the daily back to the weekly view, the event is still there, only it now spans across three days.
Has anyone heard of this or is there a bug fix out there for this problem?
Thanks

Ramone4130,
The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

SONGS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED APPEAR TWICE ON MY PHONE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY AND HOW TO EDIT THIS PROBLEM?

Songs that I have purchased on Itunes appear twicw on my Iphone. Does anybody know why and how do I edit or remove one copy of the song?

I have had two similar events with my Gen4 iTouch. An album was purchased thru iTunes with my iTouch. When I sync'd it with my MAC Mini (OSX Lion) each song that was included in the purchased album appeared twice on the iTouch but only once on the MacMini. Deleting the duplicates on the iTouch did not resolve the issue. With each sync they were reinstalled. The only way I could get around this was to delete the album/songs on the MAC, elect to move them to trash then re-sync the iTouch to remove them. Afterwards I was able to re-download the purchase on the MAC then sync the iTouch. This resolved the issue.
The second event was different but the result was the same: An album was purchased thru iTunes but this time thru iTunes Store on the MAC mini. When I sync'd the iTouch there were 2 entries for each song purchased but this time there was an entry for the song itself AND an identical entry beneath it that looked similar to the play/pause sampling icon in iTunes when sampling a song prior to purchase. I am not using iCloud and I don not sync wirelessly on the iTouch. Again, all I could do was delete the purchase on the MAC Mini, sync the iTouch to remove them, re-load the purchase from iTunes and re-sync. This also resolved the issue but it makes me a bit nervous since I have a very large library. What is causing this?
