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.

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.

Link ical on mac with iCloud

My iCloud duplicated events on my mac. I thought I'd solve it by deducing my ical, exporting, deleting calendar in iCloud, and then uploading export again. Oops - now i have right events on ical on mac, but not linked to icloud cal anymore. How can I link a specific ical on mac to iCloud cal without manually changing all calendar types of events?

I was having the same problem of not being able to sync my ical with my iphone, I tried everything everyone said on the net, but the solution turned out to be different. You have to set up your icloud on both your mac and iphone. And if you are like me your mac wasnt probably setted up.
on Iphone:
settings - icloud - turn calendar on
on Mac:
system preferences - internet accounts - click on icloud and follow the instructions (asks for itunes ID etc)
as soon as both were on icloud, it synced perfectly
Good luck

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.

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.

ICal Calendar sync with iCloud Calendar

I am moving from Google calendar to iCal and need some help. I have imported my Google calendar into iCal, but now that I created new calendars (to make different events different colors) events are disappearing. For example - my Google calendar came over to iCal under one calendar (one color) and when I change it to a new calendar (new color) the event disappears from iCal. All of my newly created calendars are checked. I tested this and events created for the first time in iCal do not have this issue.
How to I get all calendars to show at once on imported events?
Once iCal is all straightened out, how do I get the what I see on iCal to show on iCloud calendar? I need iCloud to match iCal so I can add events from my PC at work.
Then finally - I want to add either the iCal or iCloud calendar (because at this point they will be the same and either can be updated) to my iPhone.
HELP!!

Trying to get iCal to sync with iCloud on my mac

Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Since upgrading to mavericks, and subsequently Yosemite, I cannot get iCal to sync with the iCloud. All my calenders were sucked onto the cloud, and I can access them via my Iphone 5s and online, but whenever I try to tick the box in iCal to sync with my iCloud account, it crashes iCal.
When I was on Snow leopard, and had a Nokia phone, I used a terminal command to sync my iCal through dropbox, which worked fine, but has obviously migrated with my user account, as with a clean install of Yosemite iCal works fine, until I use Migration assistant to install my User profile.
Is there anyway to reset just iCal without a clean install off the OS?
Thanks in advance

Well, per the Adobe website, After Effects CS6 for Students is only available via a Suite
Creative Suite 6
Or US$999 for the non-Student version of After Effects CS6 alone
Creative Suite 6
Both those options are expensive compared to the Cloud options and give you only outdated - 3 year old - software.
All Cloud plans give you access to 3 independent versions: CS6, CC and CC 2014, so your Cloud options:
There are no Single App Student versions, so your only other Student option is to subscribe to the Cloud Complete Plan for Students and Teachers @ US$19.99/month (requires 12 month commitment - so US$240 all up).
Or Single App After Effects (non-Student) for US$19.99/month - not much point since you can get the full Cloud Student and Teacher version for the same price
Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
Financially, the Full Cloud Student and Teacher option seems to offer the best value for you. Just remember that you're only ever renting the software. You never own it.

ICal Cannot Sync with iCloud

My MacPro running 10.7.5 cannot sync iCal with iCloud. My MacPro is too old and cannot upgrade to Mavericks. I am stuck at Lion. How can I get my iCal in Lion to sync with iCloud?

You don't need Mavericks to sync your calendars.
Please try the following...
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

ICal 403 Error with iCloud Family Group

Yesterday I created a Family Group using my iPhone and iOS 8. Now when we open iCal on our computers (all running OS X 10.9.4) we get the following error message:
The server responded with an error.
The server responded "403" to operation "CalDAVAccountRefreshQueableOperation
I've tried signing out of iCloud and then back in but this doesn't help. And it's happening on all our computers, one a brand new MacBook that previously had nothing on it. And it's happening across iCloud accounts.
Anyone have a solution?

I get the iCloud 403 error for some weeks now and meanwhile it is really very annoying. (both Mavericks and Yosemite, Fantastical and Apple's normal iCal)
- go to sytem pref > icloud > unchecked calendar
- remove all this files :
home/libraryApplication Support/iCal
home/libraryCaches/iCal
home/libraryCaches/com.apple.iCal
home/libraryPreferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
home/libraryPreferences/com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
home/libraryPreferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
- restart the Mac
does NOT help. I was hoping it had something to do with iCloud drive activated in iOS and Yosemite would solve the issue, but no.
I even deleted my main iCloud calendar and the Family calendar and now I have reached a point with no further idea.
Shall I really use a Google Calendar now ? I am only dreaming this, right ?
PS: It works on iOS and the iCloud.com webpage. Creating a complete new iMAc user also does not help, the problem is the same on all my iMacs. On the same machines other users with other iCloud accounts don't have the problem.

Ical not syncing with icloud calendar

imac running OSx 10.6.2.
Have migrated over to iclould, but ical calendar that was syncing with mobile me not longer sync with icloud. changes made on an ios5 device show up on the icloud calendar but not on the imac ical calendar.
The imac ical calendar with the me.com address has a error message with something about "The server responded with an error". The calendar https://cal.me.com:XXXX/principals/users/X.XXXXXXXXX/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct."
Any suggestions?

That and other issues will happen if one tries to use a unsupported system with new services / software that was never designed for the system in use.
Apple clearly says you need Lion 10.7.2. How on earth can you expect that it would work in 10.6.2 ??

ICal not syncing with iCloud or iPhone

Hi,
I just got a new iPhone today and I am having trouble syncing my iCal to it. Prior to this I did not have an iCloud. I created one on iCloud.com but everything there is blank. The iCal on my laptop is full, but I don't see an option in preferences to sync with iCloud, only something about MobileMe. I don't really understand what I'm suppose to do. I've looked through many different forums about this, but nobody seems to talk about my specific problem. Ideas?
Side question... where is Facetime on the iPhone? I thought it was included, but I can't find it and it's not avilable through the app store.
Thanks!

Greetings,
If you are running OS X 10.6 or earlier on your computer you will want to either:
A. Sync your calendar using the USB cable and NOT use iCloud calendars (as iCloud requires Lion (10.7): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
B. Purchase and install Lion assuming your Mac meets the requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
If you are running 10.7 on your Mac (Check by going to Apple > About this Mac), reply back and we can suggest how to get the calendars on iCloud.
To your side question:
While this isn't the iPhone forum, your profile says you are using an iPhone 3G. FaceTime for iOS is available on iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4 S and iPod touch (4th generation): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
Hope that information sheds some light.

I have my icals events duplicating due to Icloud and Mobileme. How do I remove mobileme from my mac?

I can turn the cals off but I think I just want them gone. How do I remove mobileme from my mac? Or do I?

On your Macs, open System Preferences. If you don't see MobileMe but you do see iCloud under Internet & Wireless then everything is syncing via iCloud not MobileMe.
Try this on your Macs... Deselect Calendars in System Preferences > iCloud then reselect that box then restart your Macs.
See if that prevents the duplicates.

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 Error syncing with iCloud: server responded with "507" to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.

iCal returns a "Server responded with "507" error
I have had this problem "resurface" regularly.
My last discussion with Apple Support lasted over 3 hours and Tech Support reached two conclusions;
1) Each Icloud user is allocated an undisclosed amount of memory for their calendars.
A user receives this error when you exceed this amount.
You cannot buy more storage, you do not know when this is going to happen and you cannot prevent it.
The error occurs when you exceed your limited, fixed amount of storage. 2) The only way to "fix" this is to delete events that are taking up too much storage. However, Apple doesn't have software that identifies the size of events (Apple referred me to expensive 3rd party software, Busy Cal , that doesn't work).
Any thoughts / ideas / work around you might have on this would be HIGHLY appreciated :-)
Thanks !

AHP,
The link that I gave you was pubilshed by Apple only 5 days ago on July 31st, so it is not surprising to me that the information has not filtered down to all support personnel.
How do you find out how much memory/ storage your iCal is currently using ? I wasn't able to find this on Settings. Also, any "effective" ways to search for 'heavy' attachments, or recurring items that might be clogging the account ?
The Calendars folder contains the relevant calendar data. It is located in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library Folder. To find the correct Library folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. When you find the Calendars folder use the keyboard shortcut ⌘I to find out how much data it contains. That may, or may not be the same amount of information stored in iCloud, but it must be very similar. Use the same shortcut to find out how much data is stored in the sub-folders. Opening the attachmets folder should display the relevant attachment data. As a word of caution, do not delete, change, or modify the Calendars folder or the data contained therein in any way shape or form.
