I Cal Events Duplicated

All of my holidays have been duplicated on my I Cal. I cannot seem to find a way to "undo duplicate" for the national holidays that I subscribed to...anyone know a solution?

towalsh,
What calendars do you have listed when you click the "Calendars" button on iCal?
Are you using any calendar syncing software?

Calendar events duplicating across iCloud Calendar categories

I have Calendar events duplicating across iCloud Calendar categories. IOW, for example, I have Halloween displaying correctly because I have the "US Holidays" category checked. Fine. I also have a category, to continue the example, called “Motorcycles" checked—obviously because I want pertinent events display under that category. The problem is that I did not put Halloween under the Motorcycles category and it repeats annually. Therefore I see Halloween displayed twice every year (with US Holidays and Motorcycles checked). Further info, if I delete Motorcycles/Halloween for 2014, it remains in place for 2015 and later years. So I don’t know how this happened and I don’t know how to resolve it. Thanks for the help.

Thank you very much for the answer. It turns out that I was under the "call support" category—and I did. While it remains a mystery why some "Holidays" and also "US Holidays" migrated over to other categories but we went onto my iCloud Calendar site to see specifically and compare to my machine Calendar. We decided to Delete a couple minor offending categories that had accepted the repeats and just dealt with it that way. So....still a mystery as to why but problem solved. Thanks again.

Another instance of severe new problem in iCal - events duplicated infinite

This is like other posted problems. I just went Leopard - Snow Leopard. Have used iCal for years and consider myself experienced. On my first attempt to add a repeating event following the OS upgrade, the repeating event was duplicated hundreds perhaps thousands of times before I even completed the entry in the popup dialog. As you all know, that dialog does not allow cancel or delete. The event is duplicated multiple times in the same day. It seems to have no termination date. It cannot be selected in order to delete it. The color is even a pastel shade of the group color that it was supposed to have.
I have turned off iSync and hope that I can remove theses ridiculous events before they spread to every Mac and Ipod.
I cannot find a database to delete or I'd delete it and try to resync from me.com.
Help, Apple -- we need your attention on this one. It is definitely a **** up in iCal.

O.k. - I am not experienced in spite of many years of using this turkey. First of, the sync/don't sync button in preferences - forget it. iCal syncs with MobileMe no matter what the setting. Bummer - except that once the hundreds of duplicate, repeat events are transfered to MobileMe, you can delete them from the web interface - unlike the iCal application that forbids deleting unwanted events.
Second new discovery. You can put in a repeated event on the MobileMe website with no trouble but, bummer again, the new event on MobileMe does not sync back to the iCal on the iMac.
Final and most important discovery. I got the problem in the first place by blindly supplying the information asked for and, I kid you not, iCal 4 asks for the end date of a repeated event twice. If you answer the question twice, as I did, you get N * N events. So I hope I can avoid the problem in the future. But really, iCal needs methods to delete repeated events. Also as a former long-term Palm user, I sorely miss the option to restore a calendar from another machine. (the ability to sync or overwrite the local application).

ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those are bugs that need to be reported to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Not much we can do about it.

Only Some Events Duplicated from Google in iCal - Yosemite and iOS 8.1.2

I have some shared Google calendars with some folks that I work with, and when I download them from Google onto my Mac and onto my iPhone, some of them are duplicated. Specifically, there are two recurring (every) weekday events that always duplicate throughout the year, whereas weekly recurring events do not duplicate. I am not using iCloud to sync calendars, and Delegates are off. There are no duplicates in the Google Calendar, just on my devices. Further, others with the same permissions for those Google Calendars are not having the same issue. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

I have a similar problem on my iPhone 6+ but have Mavericks on my Mac Pro and none of the other WiFi issues on other systems. Have Yosemite installed on my MacBook Pro but it's turned off so no WiFi running on it at the moment. On the iPhone I'm unable to run any apps that need to connect to internet and unable to get any sites on Safari: "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." is the message I get from all sites, including apple.com.

IPhoto Events Duplicated Suddenly-do I delete?

In the last month (and there WAS an iphoto update during that time) I suddenly have dupicate iphoto EVENTS but there are 3 different kinds:
1)Duplicate events: same EVENT NAME, same NUMBER PHOTOS.
2)Duplicate events: slightly altered EVENT NAME, same NUMBER PHOTOS. (this may be a windows transfer issue** see note below)
3)Duplicate EVENT NAME but SOME photos missing in 1 event, and complete in another event of the SAME NAME.
Should I assume that all my photos are fine and just delete the duplicate event and delete the event of the same name but with fewer pics in that event (assuming the event with more pics is "safer" to keep)?
I'm somewhat new to iphoto (on it for 2 years): can I assume if I click on "PHOTOS" in the left pane, those are ALL my photo's in my "Photo Library" or is my Photo Library actually my "EVENTS"? or are photos and events essentialy the same thing? If it exists in "PHOTOS" is it an official jpeg-picture-file? How can there be 2 files of the EXACT SAME NAME?? Both sets of pics say "DSC-0001" (and the numbers go up from there) in the PHOTO LIBRARY. Why doesn't the Photo Library reject that since 2 files cannot normally be in the same place?
I could use Time Machine and replace the photo library with one from a month ago. But how do I know what really happened? This whole thing is unsettling. I'm assuming I have not lost a single of my 44,000 pics I've loaded but why did iPhoto duplicate about 10 events?
**And even more odley: why did it duplicate 3 of them with slightly different names. They may have had these "different file names" when I transfered them from a Windows Computer 2 years ago, but I can't remember and I've not had this duplicate problem happen until earlier this month.
My spouse is saying we should download Picassa and go back to the that but I REALLY like iPhoto and want to keep it. I need to feel that my photo library is SAFE and seeing it in a window-tree (alla Picassa and windows) seems familiar, I know it's not inherently safer than iPhoto/iMac but this duplicating event is unsettling.

are photos and events essentialy the same thing?
Yes - two different ways to view your photos in the iPhoto library
Why doesn't the Photo Library reject that since 2 files cannot normally be in the same place?
Because they are not in the same place - iPhoto is not about files - it is about photos - iPhoto keeps track of the files in a folder structure - you do not ever go into it
What changes have you made recently? for there to be a duplicate in iPhoto you would have had to import it - iPhoto does not duplicate photos
My spouse is saying we should download Picassa and go back to the that but I REALLY like iPhoto and want to keep it. I need to feel that my photo library is SAFE and seeing it in a window-tree (alla Picassa and windows) seems familiar, I know it's not inherently safer than iPhoto/iMac but this duplicating event is unsettling.
That is totally your choice
having your photos safe is NOT a function of the manager you are using but of your backup systems - iPhoto will not lose your photos nor will Picassa - but system, hardware and user failures will - a backup is the only way to be sure your photos are safe
Note that Picassa has many disadvantages re iPhoto - it does not integrate into other Apple software - it does not provide lossless editing - it does not allow you to upgrade to professional level photo management software (Aperture) directly and it does not integrate with the iPad, iPod and iPhone like iPhotos does or with Photo Stream and iCLoud.
As to duplicates I suggest using Duplicate annailator, DeCloner or iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - for identifying them

Ical events duplicated a zillion times since security update. Isync hangs

I switched to Entourage for mail because there were too many bugs in imail. However i prefer using ical for my appointments etc. so I sync them all. When I first got my Sony Ericsson K800i, I had to purchase a 3rd party app in order to use it with iSync. It worked perfectly. Somewhere along the line isync included the K800i in its compatible devices. That is where all the trouble started . . .
Certain, seemingly random, appointments in my ical/entourage calenders would get duplicated hundreds of times. My phone couldn't synchronise because it said its calender was full. This was entirely because of the erroneously duplicated events. I experimented with a bunch of settings to no avail. Several security updates later, the problem seemed to be sorted. But after the last update it is worse than ever. When I open isync, it just says "refreshing contact groups and calendar information" forever. If I click on "sync" it just hangs. If I try and click on one of the culprit days on my calender (like january 25th which I know has a multitude of duplicated items), ical just hangs with the beachball of doom. So I can't even go in there and manually delete the duplicated items (which took me ages last time).
Help! I depend on having my appointments and stuff on my phone. Not being able to synchronise is driving me crazy!!

I am pretty sure that if you check on Version Tracker at
http://www.versiontracker.com or just google for "iCal duplicate events" you can find software to remove the duplicates.

Calendar events duplicated to a different calendar

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange issue which occurred only today. I have several calendars, all events from one calendar has duplicated to a different calendar category. This has occured across 5 iPhones / iPads and also on my iMac. When I login to iCloud online the duplications aren't there. I've tried switching off iCloud calendar from each device and deleting all events. When I switch on iCloud calendar, I get the same duplicated events. I can't understand how or why it happened. Anyone experience the same issue?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Currently there's no such method to make the event sent to new members automatically.
We need to send the event at regular intervals, choose Send updates only to added or deleted attendees when sending update.
Thanks,
Melon Chen

Why are some calendar events duplicating?

Some calendar events are duplicating. Why is this happening?

Dear, this is happening because of your iCloud sync. Note that if you deactivate your iCloud sync the duplicates will be removed. I don't know why Apple didn't solve this problem yet...

Ical events duplicated on ipod touch 4g so I deleted them, and now they do not appear anywhere except on the iPod. I have mobile me set up to sync and OS10.6.8 on the MBpro

Can I get these events back in iCal or do I have to re enter them? Is there a way to 'revert'? How do I get the ipod calendar to not duplicate events?
Set up my semester's schedule for the university where I teach and now it's all blank on the mobileme and ical calendars on computers.

should clarify that I deleted duplicate events on the ipod so that should have left one in ical. there is still one listed in ical on the ipod but not on the computer, so deleting duplicate entry deleted it entirely from my ical on computer and mobile me. no icloud yet

Events duplicating on web gallery!

G'day people
I've created a whole lot of events in iPhoto '08 and exported them to the my web gallery; so far so good.
Last night I added more photos to one of my events and, after iPhoto synchronised with web gallery, I see that I now how two events on web gallery with the same name. One of the web gallery events has the new photos!
Any idea how they can be merged in web gallery? They are all on one event in iPhoto. I didclick the little circle to get iPhoto to synchorise again but it made no difference.
Please help
Cheers
Al

Do you use MobileMe?
What would be helpful in the setup instructions for MobileMe but are not.
If you are syncing over the air with Mobile Me then DO NOT sync via the cable with Address Book (Outlook or Windows Contacts on PC). This causes duplicates. You are telling the iPhone to bring what is in those programs to the iPhone (one copy). Then you are syncing from the cloud (Mobile Me copy two).
The iPhone will do exactly as you tell it to do.
The easiest way to remove duplicates.
1. On the info tab in iTunes uncheck sync contact and sync calendars.
2. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>ME account>slide to off contacts and calendars.
3. Log into Me.com and look at contacts and calendars and make sure there are no duplicates.
4. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>ME account> slide to on contacts and calendars. When prompted choose to Replace with info from Me.com

Edit Google Cal event in iCal without changing the original?

I'd like to be able to edit an event or delete it on my iCal without touching the original copy. Is this possible?

Greetings,
If the event is in a Google calendar then changes you make go automatically to the Google server as they "belong" to the server, not to your computer.
You can copy that event into a local calendar and then edit it and it will have no effect on the original Google calendar.
_Go to File > New Calendar > On my Mac.
_Click on the event in question to highlight
_Go to Edit > Copy
_Click on the new calendar you created and then go to File > Paste.
You could also copy the entire Google calendar into a local calendar.
_Click on the Google calendar on the left side of iCal and go to File > Export > Export and save to the Desktop.
_Locate the file on the desktop and double-click on it.
_Add to a new calendar.
__You will now have a local copy of the entire Google calendar (as of this point in time) on your mac which you can edit independent of the Google calendar online.
Hope that helps.

ICal Events Duplicating with iCloud

I'm using iCloud to sync between my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro. I noticed today that on the iCloud website, and on my devices that all past calendar events (up to the date I started using iCloud) are triplicated - there are three of each event (I assume one event was uploaded to the cloud from each of my devices, then pushed down to the others). Is there any easy way to go back and remove the duplicates?
It doesn't really matter, since these are all past events, but I still like to have an accurate record of my past calendars. Thanks!

Hi,
I too found this and did the following.
Login to iCloud and open the calendar. Now uncheck / highlight the duplicate entries and delete, if you also have your iPhone calendar open while you do this you will see if you are deleting the right ones because the events will disappear form its calendar.
Once done log out of iCloud and open iTunes, plug in the iPhone and click theinfo tab then uncheck calendars from syncing. Now click apply and sync the phone. When done open iCal on your Mac and iPad all should be good.
Also make sure you haveno duplicate account in iCal > Preferance > Accounts.

Right-click modification of cal events in Outlook that were added in iPad

Calendar events that I add using iPad Calendar sync properly to the Outlook 2003 Calendar on my desktop PC, but I am unable to bring up the right-click context menu for those events (for example to change their category).
I can double click and modify the event through a separate window, but never within the Outlook calendar view itself.
Advice is appreciated.

I have used that to find when the context menu is activated,
however there is no way that I have found that can tell me when the
context menu disappears..
I could put handlers on every item, but that doesn't account
for when the user doesn't select an item and left clicks back on my
application to remove the menu. Also I have no control over the
adobe specific menu items..
Does anyone out there know of an event that fires when the
context menu disappears?

Exchange: receives email but not cal events?

I set up an Exchange email account on my iPhone. It receives email fine (when logged into my corporate VPN) but does not receive Outlook calendar events. Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Is there a fix?
It seems strange that the iPhone Mail client would selectively filter out the meeting notices. The Mail app on OS X receives the Outlook meeting notices fine (with basically the same Mail account setup).

Thanks, Jose. But I am not "syncing" my iPhone calendar. I am simply downloading emails from the Exchange server (I guess I'm technically syncing emails to the server). And as far as I understand, the Outlook meeting notices are simply emails with attachments. This is why I don't understand why the meeting notices aren't showing up.
I don't expect these Outlook meetings to show up in the iPhone calendar (unless I sync with a host computer). But I do want the iPhone Mail client to show me the emails that contain these calendar events.
