Events showing up many times in iCal on Mac and iPhone

Certain events are showing up many times within my iCal and iPhone. These are clearly duplicate events and can show up as much as 50 times or more on the same day at the same time. Some additional background:
1. I use mobileme and have my iCal syched through Mobile Me
2. I have a gmail calendar that is synching (these events do not appear to be duplicating)
3. I synch my iPhone calendar with my work PC through a USB chord. My work PC uses MS Outlook. Some of these events are duplicated. Especially annual events such as birthdays.
4. I have set my wife's calendar to publish and I have subscribed to her calendar. She has a far more extensive issue of events duplicating and these duplications show up on my iPhone since I subscribe to her calendar.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Martin,
Are you using MobileMe? Are you syncing the events to the iPhone through iTunes or pushing them over the air with MobileMe?
If you are using MobileMe you can set the Time Zone online at http://www.me.com/calendar/ click the Gear> Preferences> Advanced.
Try turning off Time Zone Support on the iPhone, tap Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Time Zone Support, off.
Did that change the time on the events?
If you are not using MobileMe or that does not resolve the issue, try the tips below.
If the Time Zone Support is on in iCal, try disabling it. Go to iCal>Preferences> Advanced> uncheck Turn on time zone support. You can change Time Zones of events in iCal as described in the iCal help article: "Changing the time zone for an event"
If the issue persists try resetting the sync history as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030 and then syncing the calendar events to the iPhone again.

Needed help in syncing iCal on Mac and iPhone 2g

When I sync iCal on my Mac (Mountain Lion) with iCal on iPhone 2g, some events get "Alert 15 hours before" on iPhone, even though I didn't set this alert. Any ideas?

Check you are logged into the same account on all devices, check that contact syncing is enabled on the mac (system preferences > iCloud). If these details are correct try turning contact syncing off, restarting the mac and turning syncing back on.

Syncing ical on mac and iphone

I have a mac book pro and iPhone 3gs and iCloud. My calendars are not syncing. When I enter in ical using my iPhone i can see them in iCloud but not the mac. when i enter in ical using the mac, i do not see the event anywhere else. any suggestions?

Syncing iCal on Mac and iPhone: how long does the sync take to show up???

When I make changes in iCal on the Mac, when are they supposed to appear on the iPhone? And vice versa. Same question regarding Contacts.
In Mail there is a "circular icon" which forces an update. Is there an equivalent one for iCal and for Contacts?
Thanks in advance and cheers,
Veit

Having paid with Apple Pay, vs. any other method of payment, there should be no difference at all with regard to getting your money back. The "weird" Credit Card Number probably is the Unique Device ID from your iPhone, not actually a Credit Card Number. That will have been linked to your actual Credit Card within the original Transaction so the refund will easily go back to your Account.

ICal on Mac and iPhone are hours apart!!!!

If anyone can help me with this very inconvenient matter.
My iCal events on my mac are always 10 hours ahead.
Both my Mac have the correct date and time set, and they both are set in the same time zone!
Thanks in advance.

I got birthdays in my ical on mac and iPhone 4 but how can i add anniversaries

I got a mac pro and have updated to mountain lion, i use the mac cal to synchronize to mac cal on iphone 4s and vise versa, I got birthdays on my cal but would like to add anniversaries to it as well how do i add them so i dont forget important dates and also in my icloud i have 3 colours for different entries e.g. green for holiday , blue for home and green for work, so how do i add another colour for something else for a different entries called "events" and add anniversaries like birthdays. Ta Juss p.s i also have a problem with birthdays they all duplicated.....

Go to "File" and create a new calendar, name it "Events" or whatever you like and pick a color. Then, go to the date you want the anniversary on and create an all-day event naming it however you like. Under repeat, choose to have it repeat every year and select never for when it should end. You will now have a calendar of anniversaries and other events. Just make sure to select repeat every year and never end on each item you want in that calendar.

Many podcasts not updating on Mac and iPhone

Podcasts I'm subscribed to, do not update on the Mac or the iPhone.

Perhaps the authors are not updating them. Perhaps the authors have messed up the feeds in some way. Perhaps your firewall is blocking them. Perhaps your iTunes is corrupted in some way. How can anyone possibly know without being able to at least look at one or two and see whether they work? Perhaps you could post a couple of examples - give the iTunes Store page URL (control-click or right-click on the podcast image and choose 'Copy URL')

Showing how many times certain data shows up in a table

How can I show how many times a particular piece of data has
shown up in a particular field of a table?
For example, I want to show how many time '1' has shown up in
playStart field or playerGoal field.

I want it to show something similar to
Player Name----------------Appearnces-------Goals
Where apperances and goals show how many times playerId '1'
has shown up in the field startPlayerID from the table matchID.
Similar to

I'd like it to be able to change whenever I update the
database.

I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?

So after reading other's threads on this issue, I learned that by turning icloud's calendar sync option off and then on again, it re-sets your calendar and pesky old things go away like magic. Thanks to others on this forum for sharing their expertise! I'm all set now.

How many times can I install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13?

How many times can I install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13?

mbuenger
Are you referring to how many times can I install, uninstall, reinstall Photoshop Elements 13 or Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer?
Or, how many of your computers can have a same purchased activated serial number at the same time for either of these products?
If the former, I know of no limit.
If the latter, the answer would be as John as mentioned.

How many times do you get a new iPhone because of manufacturing defects, before you can ask for an newer model?

You don't. Apple's warranty provides for replacing your device with an identical model (same model, carrier, capacity & color).
And you aren't getting a new iPhone. You'll be getting a remanufactured iPhone, which has gone through a more thorough inspection than any new iPhone ever does.
If you want a newer model, then trade-in or privately sell your current device and use the proceeds towards purchasing another device.

My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

How do I find out how many times a date is in and array collection?

Hi there,
I have an arrayCollection that has a bunch of articles in it. I am trying to figure out how many articles there are each day to power a line graph. Any thoughts on how I could easily do this?
basically I need a method that will return how many times an item appears in and AC.
Some code I am starting with (its wrong)
if (fieldName == "yValue"){
     var count:Number = 0;
     for(var i:uint=0; i<_dataProvider.length; i++){
          var date:QueueItemVO;
          if (_dataProvider[i].itemDate == item.itemDate){
               //count++;
               trace(count);
     //trace(item.itemDate);
     //trace(count);
     return count;
