Getting rid of duplicate calendars and contacts.

I made the mistake of syncing my iPhone while I also had MobileMe sync running. As a result I have calendar and contact duplicates of my Mac and of MobileMe account. I want to get rid of my Mac info and just use the MobileMe sync info. From here on out I will only use MobileMe to sync my iPhone. Does anyone know how to easily get rid of this other set of calendar and contact Mac info?

Probably the easiest way would be to delete the MobileMe account and then re-add it - you should then be prompted to either keep the data on the iPhone, or delete it.

How do I get rid of duplicate calendar entries in my notifications?

I managed to get rid of all my duplicate calendar entries on my calendar. I unchecked all but the two calendars I use.
The problem is that when I go to my notifications screen, under "Calendar", it still shows all my entries like three times. How do I get rid of this? It takes up all the realestate on my notifications.

Sounds like your syncing Calendars over the air with iCloud, as well as with a supported Calendar application on your computer. Doing both will duplicate your entries, so do one or the other, not both.

How do I get rid of duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes?

I have installed a new version of Thunderbird on a new machine and used Easy Transfer to move my mail boxes etc from my old machine. The problem is that I now have duplicate "in" and "sent" mail boxes. New in and sent mail only appears in one of them but I can't delete the other. I have deleted all messages in the extra "in" box (they were all duplicates) but have not been able to do the same with the messages in the duplicate "sent" box because the "deleted" folder where they would go is not big enough to take the 16000 messages in there (when I "select all" and "delete" it just says "deleted folder is full" when in fact there's nothing in it; I am assuming this just means it would not take all the messages to be deleted). Help please!

Does anyone know how to get rid of duplicates in iCloud contacts please?

I cannot seem to find where to get the duplicates in iCloud sorted out, any help would be appreciated

If you are syncing contacts on your Mac with iCloud, open Contacts, then go to Card>Look for Duplicates, then merge any duplicates found. This will locate and merge contacts with the same name, but different information.

TS4118 How do you get rid of duplicate calendar events on iPad?

I just synced my iPad with my MacBook (which I do all the time) but this time, it resulted in duplicating all my iPad calendar events (events do not appear as duplicates on my MacBook). This happened immediately after I enabled iCloud syncing of my calendar. I have now disabled Icloud syncing and I just synced my iPad with my MacBook again. The events are still appearing in duplicate on my iPad.

iTunes settings for iPad and iPhone are independent. If your iPhone doesn't have duplicate entries, check your settings when plugged into iTunes, then use the same settings for your iPad. But, it really sounds as if you've simply enabled calendar syncing directly from your Mac when it's plugged into iTunes. This will then update your iPad's calendar with whatever's in your Desktop calendar when you plug it in to iTunes. Uncheck this setting in iTunes when you next have your iPad plugged in to sync, and the duplicates should disappear, leaving only those events pulled down from MobileMe. The plug in sync option is for people who don't use MobileMe.

Can I get rid of duplicate or empty folders in contacts without using a computer?

Is there a way to get rid of duplicate folders and empty folders in contacts without using a computer?

If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck. The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it.
iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

Getting rid of Google calendar

I am quite happy using iCal, and I usually have it send me an email reminder at whatever time I want to be notified. Some time ago I thought I would try Google calendar to see how it was. I set it up, and now every event I put on iCal ends up on Google calendar and I end up getting multiple emails and notifications. I would like to simply get rid of Google calendar and stop using it. I can't find a way to do this. Not only can I not get rid of it, but I can't stop it from sending me emails and notifications. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't remember exactly how it was set up in Mountain Lion. Things are different in Mavericks.
What I'm refering to is how you are syncing google calendar. You may have to do it in iCal preferences in Accounts. Deleting the google account from iCal should remove it from the iCal. To delete, highlight and click on "-" sign at bottom of window.
Just make sure you move your events to either a local calendar or iCloud calendar if you are using iCloud before deleting the google calendar.

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.

i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?

Neil,
I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
Good luck,

How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

After instal of Maverick, iPhone data syncs to iCloud, but not to computer. How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

Sounds like your Mac is not logged into the same iCloud account that your phone is. When Mavericks is installed it prompts you for an AppleID during setup.
Unfortunately and confusingly it then uses that AppleID to help you set up the Apple Store, iCloud, and Messages even though many users do not use the same AppleID for all of those services. This is particularly true of familys that share one AppleID for the "Store" but use separate AppleID's for each users iCloud data.
Therefore, put your iPhone next to your Mac and go to "Settings" > "iCloud". Make sure that the iCloud account listed on your iPhone is the same as the one listed when you go to "System Preferences" > "iCloud" on your Mac. If they match (or not) then click "sign out" on your Mac to disconnect the account. Then, on the Mac (still in the iCloud preference pane), log (back) into the same iCloud account being used on your iPhone and enable the same set of services that are enabled on your iPhone (particularly calendar and contacts).
Then, open the Contacts application on the mac and iCal on the Mac and walk away for a few minutes to allow the data to sync. You may then want to create a test calendar event and change a contact to see if they sync up.
One additional thought is to make sure that your iPhone is set to "Push" for iCloud. That will assure that it's syncing immediately while you are testing this.
Hope this helps.

I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.
