Events in iCal are duplicated on my iPhone

Changes made to iCal on my phone (moved or added events) are not getting synced to my iCal on my desktop though I have "sync Calendars" checked in iTunes. Meanwhile on my 3S phone, I am getting events showing up in duplicate or triplicate even.
Example: Today I changed the date of an event that was scheduled for the 16th to the 17th, while on my phone. I synced when I came home, but the event still shows up on the 16th in iCal on my desktop.
Example: Two days ago I changed the time of a class (repeating event) I'm teaching this summer from a 4pm start to a 430 start using iCal on my desktop. Now my iPhone shows two events, one at 4pm and one at 430, for every class session.
Twice now I have selected Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone: Calendars without it solving the problem. The multiple events still stay on my phone.
Last week I had to migrate my user profile from my Time Capsule to a friend's machine while mine was in the shop. Afterwards I backed up the current copy of my profile on the TC, then erased my profile on my machine, and migrated the new copy in. I don't know if this is related but the issue with events not copying over to iCal from my phone properly did start last week I think.

Events in Ical are duplicated

one of the calendars that I am subscribed to has all the events duplicated; how can i delete this duplicates with out erasing the main event?

The same thing is happening to me when I import a vCal file from Palm Desktop into iCal. I would love a solution also. Good luck!

New events in iCal are entered on my iMac. These events pass through correctly to my other computers and iPhone. However, each new event shows up twice on my iPads. The clutter is distracting. Anyone have suggestion as to correcting this annoyance?

My contatcs are duplicated on my iphone when I merged iphone contacts and icloud contacts. How do I get icloud to resend from the cloud?

I did that and it gave me the option to boot from HD or Disk. I chose disk and it booted normally from the HD.

Events in iCal are gone!

I recently upgraded to the new mobileme calendar and just today i realized all of my events on my laptop are gone. I can still see everything in mobileme, my iphone, itouch..but not my macbook pro. what happened?
I am running version 4.2.1 on my itouch - ical working perfectly
my macbook pro is 10.5.8 - ical not working
If i upgrade to Snow Leopard will that fix the problem? I also just began using Time Machine about 1 month ago but haven't detected an issue till today.

You may want to try to change your MobileMe sync settings.
Go to
System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync>Advanced>Reset Sync Data
Choose "Calendars" from the drop down list and click the arrow that shows the animation going from MobileMe to the Computer.

New events in iCal are automatically created with an Email alert

How do I change the default alert method?

Thanks Barney. To answer your first idea, these aren't alerts of the "alert me 15 minutes before the start of the event" type. Subscribers can switch those off by selecting "Ignore Alerts" in the calendar's Info pane:
My problem is that email alerts are being raised after any and all activity in my calendar:
If I create an event, subscribers receive an immediate email (like the one below)
If I change the title of an event (i.e. 100% of the time), subscribers receive another an immediate email. This clearly wrong behaviour makes me wonder if we've encountered a bug.
If I edit an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
If I delete an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
Secondly, these messages are apparently coming from iCloud. Here's what the subscriber sees when I create an event (I created this without editing the title, hence "New Event"):
I deleted my calendar from my wife's iCal calendar list and added it again. No change. I created a new calendar, and subscribed her to it, no change. Oh, and I am subscribed to her calendar, but I receive no email alerts (which is what we want).
She has an iPhone but I can't find any setting there that demands an email update for all calendar activity.
Finally, I'd add that it hasn't always been like this. These alerts only appeared recently.

Alerts for recurring events in iCal no longer display on iPhone after iOS5 upgrade

That pretty much says it. I have a daily meeting in my iCal, with two alarms set, one for 15 minutes before and one for 5 minutes before. The alerts no longer display on my phone after the upgrade. (They appear on my Mac no problem.) Has anyone else seen this problem? I have notifications turned on for iCal , set to Alerts. Tried badges, tried turning notifications off then on, to no avail. It doesn't display for recurring events that were in my calendar before the upgrade and for those created after the upgrade. I don't seem to have a problem with regular i.e. non-recurring events. Doesn't seem to matte also if it is the default calendar or a different calendar either. (I tried Reminders and that worked fine, but I don't want to have type all of my recurring events in to iCal and then in to Reminders as well....)
Thanks very much

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

All Day Events on Mac are two days on Iphone

I know this issue has been brought up, but I have yet to find a solution. It seems it doesn't happen to enough people for Apple to address.
Has anyone found and answer to this?

No time zone issue here either. Strange. Just one of those things we will never know...
My lame fix?
List the event I want for "all day" at 3:00am. Then later, when I feel like it, go to iCal and change them to All Day. Course, that only works if you never move it in Outlook again (for example, it I move the all day event from Thursday to Friday it will once again, become a two day event in the iPhone).
Maybe someone at Apple could just fix this during a lunch break...I will even pay for the lunch!

Deleting a recurring event in iCal

Situation; iphone 5 recurring event wont delete. looking at same calendar on a synced PC (work) the event is not there at all.
If you are having trouble deleting a recurring event in iCal try this:
on your iphone change the event "alert" or "show as" setting on one of the events in the future. The event that wasn't showing on the PC outlook calendar magically shows up now. delete it from the PC by opening it and choosing the X delete for all occurances (if its asks).
Now open the event in iCal and you should see the Accept Maybe Decline option at the bottom - choose decline. you may have to do this on several dates, but that should delete the event.
Hope this helps.

pedfogog,
... or whoever may find this post in need of assistance as I was.
I just had this same problem and successfully deleted ALL event (past and future)instances by :
1. Click on any instance of the event in the calendar
2. Select "Delete" from the iCal toolbar "Edit" menu.
3. The iCal propmt asked me to choose to delete all or just the one instance.
4. Naturally, select to "Delete all occurrences"
I am running OS 10.6.8 iCal 4.0.4

Can't sync my iCal with my MM account, iPhone, iPad, etc- Can you help?

For some reason a few weeks ago, my iCal just stopped communicating with my iPhone, iPad, and my MobileMe account. Anything that I do in iCal only lives in iCal. On the left side of iCal, it lists the MM account, but there is a little triangle with a Caution Exclamation point inside. When I click on it it says...
The server responded with an error
The connection to account “[email protected]” failed because the network is unreachable.
I tired to reset the sync and when I did- all events in iCal are now gone. How do I get iCal back up and running and to sync with my MobileMe?
Help! Thanks,

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

Sync phone with iCal deletes old events in iCal

Whenever I use iSync to sync my mobil phone old events in iCal are deleted. This never used to happen, I need the old events for work. Can anyone help?

I also upgraded to the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac v 1.0.6 (Build 16).
I synchronized my calendar and EVERYTHING from iCal was deleted. Fortunately, my Blackberry Calendar is intact. Despite this annoyance, this is still a major improvement over the first time I installed the desktop (sarcasm intended).
I also tried creating an event on iCal and synchronized. This new event sychronized with my Blackberry. When I open the event the Send Using entry is the same email address that I used for all my other entries on my Blackberry.
So basically, my Blackberry Events don't sync to my iCal, but my iCal events sync with my Blackberry.
<RANT> It is very baffling why RIM hasn't been able to solve these problems for the past 3 years. I'm still happier using Parallels with Microsoft Outlook (it hurts to say that) than using this unreliable product. It's things like these that prevent me from using my Mac Calendar and Address Book. The proposition value for switching to an iPhone is looking better every day.</RANT>

ICal synch between MacBook and iPhone using iCloud

when I create an event in iCal it synchs to my iPhone via iCloud but, when I create an event in iCal using integration with Mail, the event does not show up on iPhone.

At present you have to upload iWork documents manually to iCloud. It's possible that this may be addressed in a future upgrade either (or both) to iWork and the operating system, though there has been no announcement on this.
Once uploaded from a Mac, you cannot download again until the document has been edited on an iOS device. If you want to keep documents or two Macs in sync you would be better off with Dropbox or SugarSync.

Help: I cannot see or edit events in iCal. What to do?

Please help. I cannot open the event editor to change or see contents of an event. I am using an Intel MacBook, iCal, and The Missing Sync for Palm with a Palm Centro. The events show fine on my Centro, but I cannot double-click the events on iCal on my MacBook in order to see or edit the attached notes. Maybe an unrelated problem is that times of events in iCal are not the same on my Centro (some are, some are not). I cannot seem to determine what happened to the events as shown on my MacBook. Any ideas?

I talked to AppleCare support earlier today and they guided me to the solution. Seems like my iCal file had became corrupted for some reason (iCal or Palm Centro or Missing Sync to blame?--who knows). Anyway, the solution was to remove the file "com.apple.iCal.plist" Once that was done, iCal recreated the file after I reopened iCal and all was well. We'll see how long this fix lasts -- I hope forever.
