How do I delete duplicate events in my iCal?

Using SyncMate to sync my calendar and contacts from my Droid X to my iMac (MAC Office doesn't work since I upgraded to Lion). Seemed successful. However, I now have duplicate events in my iCal. How can I delete the duplicate events?

Hello Linda,
Duplicate calendar entries can definitely clutter up iCal. I found an article that has specifically addresses duplicate birthday entries in iCal. You can find the steps under section titled "7. Clean up birthdays and use the Birthday Calendar" in the following article:
iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How can I delete duplicate events in FCP X?

Two of my events are duplicated in my event browser. This includes duplicates of all clips. How can I delete one copy of each?

Very simple.
In the Event Browser, click (to select) the Event you wish to remove.
Then you have a few options:
--> Command + backspace
--> File > Move Event to Trash
Or...
Right click/CTRL click/two-finger click (if on a trackpad) the Event you wish to remove and choose "Move Event to Trash" from the contextual pop-up menu.
Done.

How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

How can i delete an event on my iphone 4s from my gmail account?

how can i delete an event on my iphone 4s from my gmail account?

there is a way to do it. you didnt say if the two librarys were on two different computers i am supposing this is the case. In itunes on both computers go to itunes preferences there you will see where the music is stored not this location for the future.
Check is the copy files to itunes media folder is checked.
Go find that folder and see if all your music is in there if so then you can copy the folder or move it to an external hard drive.
Then go to he computer that you want all the music on and simply copy all the music files in there. Try one folder at a time so copy in say the Bob Dylan folder and see if it all works in itunes.
Obviously itunes needs to be closed when you are copying the folders over. If it doesnt immediately show up on the itunes simply choose file add to library and just go back to the folder and choose the one you want to add.
You may end up with a few duplicates if so choose show duplicates and choose which ones to delete. You may also get some files with the itunes numbering in the title you can right click and on a mac choose get info and change the name or rename in windows. I did this its a bit of stuffing around.
I would say in hindsight, one folder for all your music, let itunes copy it all over and keep adding to the original folder and back it up. If disaster ever strikes all you do is set up your new computer with fresh itunes and point itunes at your music folder and it will copy them all over again.

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually?

Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

Greetings!
After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing. It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

I have a big problem.
I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
(Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
Thank you

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

How do I delete an event folder?

How do I delete The event folder it self. I have deleted all the images in it from the event. But now I have like 25 empty event folder because it makes a new one every time I import images

Copy a picture to the empty event folder and then delete the photo. The folder will delete with it. Of course you need a picture you are willing to delete. Good luck, it worked for me.

How can you delete duplicate songs in total, not one at a time?

How can you delete duplicate songs in total, instead of the tedious task of one at a time. I have hundreds of duplicates.

Maybe:

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
Also maybe
- Restore from backup. See:

I know this will work
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
