How do I prevent duplicates in iCal on iPhone 4, Mac, and in iCloud?

I just downloaded iOS5 and set up iCloud.  Since I have synced everything with iCloud, everything seems to be working ok, except for iCal.  Since I turned it on, it created 5 or 6 of every event in iCal on my iPhone, mac, and the online iCloud site.  Also, the On My Mac calendar list in iCal on my mac was randomly deleted after I turned on iCloud.
Any ideas on this matter and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

I fixed it!  Nvm.  haha...
Create folder in Finder for Calendars.
Export all calendars in iCal in case you lose everything in this process for some reason.
Turn off icloud calendar syn on ioc device and mac.
Manually deleted all duplicates and double checked times to make sure nothing had changed.
Turned icloud calendars back on on ios devices and mac.
this worked for me.  it took a while cause of all the events, but in the end it worked.
*Also, make sure you are in the same time zone for icloud.com, ios devices and mac.
I might add though, the On My Mac calendar list is still absent.  Does anyone know if this is a problem.

    The phone keeps going to 'Voice Recognition' when in my pocket and the home key is pressed!!!

    Don't you think I've thought of that! ;-)
    Surely Apple can release a fix for this to lock down the button to stop it triggering 'Voice Recognition', has been like this for far too long!

  • HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts.  If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

    how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    Hello:
    To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
    I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
    There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

    How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac. Besides these paymentprograms. And I have no previous backup that I can get it from.

    This is amazing! Pick out everything I need from the iPhone. Just what I've been looking for a long time, but did not find anything I liked. So started to see if I could pick out one and one thing ... Definitely worth the money. Thank you Julian!
    PS. I fully support the payment thing, but theres allot of legal free programs aswell, so just wondered =)

  • I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

    I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

    Hi Delecee,
    You can easily do that by downloading the music before you get to that area of weak Wi-Fi and cellular signal by downloading the music directly from the Music app by tapping the cloud button next to songs. The other option is to sync the music with iTunes over USB to have the songs downloaded to your phone. Take a look at the links below to get your music downloaded to your iPhone.
