ICal has duplicate entries

Using:
Nano
iCal
iTunes to sync up everything (iCal, etc)
Issue:
Duplicate entries in iCal on nano but not in iCal on PowerBook
What I did:
I originally had it iCal set up with Sunday as first day of week. Everything in nano was just peachy. Then I had to go an fiddle with it and made Monday first day of week and now, when I sync, my every-two-week-on-a-Thursday event is showing up on Wed and Thurs. I changed the day of the week back to Sunday but no luck.
Any ideas?
thanks!

I live between two macs and export and import calendars from each to the other and I have the same problem. I too would like to know how to import without duplicating the same events?

Ical has duplicate entries when i download

I have several calendars in my ical. For example I put in my child's U12 Hockey Schedule via a download from the team's webpage. Several days later the team's webpage will make a few changes to the schedule. I then download the schedule, which produces duplicate items as well as the updated items.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Error: Enum: Enumeration has duplicate entries

I keep getting an error that says:
'Enum: Enumeration has duplicate entries' which results in a blue controller on my front panel that says 'general' on it. I can't delete or right click on it since it disappears if I do, so I can't find on my diagram; and I don't actually have any enumerated data types in my code. Any one have any idea...please let me know...thanks!

I agree with Dennis that we may need your code to help solve the issue, but I wanted to mention that you could get this error if you are using a tab control and the pages have the same name.

Device list has duplicate entries which I am unable to delete

smart WiFi application device list has foreign an mullti[ple duplicate entries. When I try todelete them I get "Unexpected Error" [object XMLDocument].

“smart WiFi application” Are you referring to the user interface of the router which is the Linksys Smart Wifi? If it’s the Linksys Smart Wifi user interface of the router, how did you access it, via IP or router name? How did you log-in, via local or Linksys Smart Wifi account? What is the model # of your router and its current firmware? In the device list, how many icons do you have? How many actual devices you have in the network? Say for example you have a laptop and desktop, you can expect three icons on the device list. Each device on the network holds its own icon and name. If the name and icon doesn’t much to the device, you can change the name and icon to much the actual device. Sometimes the device list shows “network device”. For you to find out what device is that, check the IP and MAC address. Compare it to the actual device IP and MAC which can be found on the network properties of the device. If you have identify the devices and you still want to delete the un-identified device icon on the list. What you can try is to turn off the other devices in the network and take a look at closely the icons on the device list if one of them turns OFFLINE then you can remove that icon. You can now log-out from Linksys Smart Wifi portal which can be found on the upper right of the page. Clear you browser history and close it. Power cycle the router by unplugging the power supply for 5 seconds and plug it back in. Turn ON your network device and try access the router Linksys Smart Wifi page and check the device list if you still have that “foreign and multiple duplicate entries”.

Right Click Move menu has duplicate entries

One of my users frequently sorts mail into subfolders on a shared mailbox. They most commonly do this by right clicking the message, selecting Move, then selecting the folder.
Somehow, they ended up with a duplicate entry in the right click menu. In other words, the folder "October 2014" appears twice in the list.
The first question is: how can the duplicate entry be removed?
Secondly, one of these menu items works. When it is selected, the message can then be found in the "October 2014" as expected. The other of these menu items does not work. When it is selected, the mail is no longer in it's original location (inbox,
etc.) but also does not appear in the "October 2014" folder. Searching her mailbox (even searching all of Outlook) returns no results when searching for a message moved this way. I've
also used Get-mailboxfolderstatistics to examine the folder structure of both her account and the shared mailbox account. Only the one folder named "October 2014" appears to exist.
Second question: How can I find where messages moved with the duplicate entry were moved to? How can I move them to the correct folder?

Hi,
Do you mean there is a duplicate entry in the Move To Folder history that you see when selecting
Move?
We can try to clear the Move To Folder history to check the result. To do this, please follow:
1. Exit Outlook.
2. Open your Registry Editor and navigate to:
Outlook 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles\profile name\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046
Outlook 2010 or previous on Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\profile name\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046
3. Find the registry value named 101f031e.
4. Rename or delete the value and restart Outlook.
Now, the Move To Folder history will be cleared and next time you move a email to a folder, Outlook will add the entry to the history again.
For the second question, how did the user add the shared mailbox in his Outlook? Please note that in some configurations, you are limited to using the
Current Folder search scope when searching in a shared mailbox. Please try to directly login to the shared mailbox and then search for the disappeared emails. Please let me know the result.
Hope this helps.

Steve Fan

ICal puts duplicate entries to iPhone to Gmail calendar...new events..etc

I am sure everyone has done this before. Create a new event on iCal and then decided to remove it, right?
Well, until recently, I start seeing new event on my iPhone4 after each sync even though I deleted them completely on iCal.
I gather apple has introduce this nasty bug in their latest update. This is so frustrating as I have to manually delete all those new events on the iPhone4.

I'm assuming you are meaning via the iphone? Yes, to enable the feature you must set up the gmail account via Miscrosoft Exchange instead of selecting "Google Mail" on the set up screen. Use m.google.com as the server and everything else should be self explanatory.

8300 Curve duplicate entries in Calendar

Hi
BES
8300 Curve
Currently I have a user that has duplicate entries in her calendar. When I'm in the Calendar and select Options then choose select Calendars I have four options
Show All
Calendars
Desktop
Desktop
I have desktop twice and that is why I think she is seeing two entries in her calendar. How do I go about removing the second Desktop. I'm new to BB so could you provide me with instruction. I saw an option to wipe the BB but will this affect all her phone numbers that are stored on the phone. What exactly will it wipe out on the BB?

I got duplicate entries after updating device software. I sync with outlook and outlook does not have the duplicates. I have the same question as you,,how to wipe out the dups without screwing up my original entries or entries in outlook.

Duplicate entries in iTunes display, but both entries point to the same physical location.

I've seen lots of discussion about how to remove duplicate copies of the same song, but my issue is different.
iTunes has duplicate entries in its database, but if I do show in finder, then both entries point to the same physical location.
If I delete one entry, then the other entry becomes unusable.
Any idea how I could clean this up? Its annoying because if I select an album to play, then each song gets played twice.

@zoo_bink I too have exactly the same issue however it's not affecting all my files.
One solution, which I'm contemplating, is to backup the iTunes Media folder, delete files, uninstall/reinstall iTunes then re-import the files. The issue may have arisen during initial import. (I'm not sure at this stage if Apple allow iTunes to be uninstalled.)
iTunes music collection is showing 58.95GB versus 57.11GB in Finder so it's not a massive deal but annoying nonetheless as deleting entries isn't an option.
Any suggestions welcome.

Duplicate entries for same primary key

Hi,
I am facing problem to insert 2 or more than 2 entries for same PRIMARY KEY in the database table.
As I know that we cant do that. But Client has given me the XL sheet which contains 2 entries for same primary key. How can it be done? Please let me know how can I insert 2 data for same primary key in database table.
Waiting for your answers.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prasanna

Hi,
You can achieve this .... All you have to do is to add a new field (a Sequence Number ) to the table. This number will be incremented for each duplicate primary keys. For example....
Consider the excel file has duplicate entries 3 primary keys. Now you add a new field named Sequence Number in your DB Table.....
When you load the data into Database...then the records will look like this...
Key1     Key2    Key3    Seq
A          B          C           1
A          B          C           2
A          B          D           1
A          B          D           2
A          C          D           1
A          C          E           1
and so on...
I hope this solves your purpose.....
Whenever there are duplicate entries, such as the one mentioned in your scenario, then a new field can be added in Database. This field acts like a count or sequence number.... Thus you can maintain unique records.

ICal, Google Calendar, syncing problems and duplicate entries

Hi everyone:
I could use some help. Oy.
At work, we use Google calendar, and that hosts my appointments. I find the Google web-interface impossible, and would like to use iCal to access the data on the Google servers. I have no problem doing that with iOS--my iPhone and iPad manage to sync up fine, and syncing works in both directions; i can add and delete either on Google or on the iOS devices and everything is fine.
But on my desktop machine, I have problems of two sorts. First, once I follow the steps to add a calendar, the syncing seems broken; I can add and delete from the Google web interface, but nothing deleted from the desktop gets passed to Google. Second, I have many duplicate entries that show up on my desktop and some very old appointments that no longer should be on the calendar show up out of no where.
What I'd love to do is a full reboot, eliminating all calendar data everywhere (except on the Google servers, of course, where the work stuff is stored) and start from scratch. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance--
Roger

Have you tried rebooted your Mac? (Not needed often, so we Mac users often forget to try this. ) Are you logged on with an admin account or a standard account? (Or one with Parental Controls enabled.)
Sometimes I'll find the dialog window "behind" my other windows. Try not to click or move your mouse after you click the plus button. Or try moving windows around or minimizing them so that any windows that are hidden behind other windows are then shown. (In fact try closing all apps and Finder windows to reduce the possibility of this issue in the first place.)
(BTW, your question really is separate from the original question, since the OP already has their Google account added to iCal and you are having trouble adding the account. In the future you'll want to start your own thread so that you can also mark posts answered or helpful.)

Why do I get duplicate entries in iCal on my iTouch?

I get duplicate entries on the same day in ICal on my iTouch? Is there a way to remedy this problem?

Sound like you're syncing via iCloud AND via the iPod sync mechanism. Connect to iTunes and go to the Info tab. Uncheck the box:

How can I get rid of duplicate entries in iPad iCal?

This is kind of a repeat and I apologize, but I have duplicate entries now in my iCa on my iPad because of iOS5? Others on this same topic said something about deleting the whole iPad calendar. Before I did that, I wanted to be sure, that if I delete the iPad calendar, it won't delete the iMac calendar. I'm just not sure how to get one one iCal entry in my iPad calendar. I have birthdays, etc. entered until eternity!

Yeah, everybody says that.

I notice the mail setting in iTunes is set to sync, but all the others are set at syncing with iCloud. What about mail? Should it be syncing with iCloud, iTunes, or both (I assume not both, but......). I still don't have mail working with iCloud anyway so I'm not sure what should be happening there.
I would be consistent with respect to the information in the "Info" pane in iTunes. That is, if you want to sync Calendars, Contacts, and email, use either iCloud for all 3 (e.g., enable all 3 in iCloud and deselect all 3 from iTunes) or iTunes for all 3 (select all 3 in iTunes and disable all 3 in iCloud).... don't break them up across services.

Deleting duplicate entries in iCal?

How do I delete duplicate entries in iCal (identical entries on the same date)?

Todd,
I suspected a more serious problem because the answer was too easy.
Thousands of duplicate entries...Is this what happened?
According to, Mac OS X 10.4: Stay away from the SyncServices folder: As if it were a swarm of bees, you should stay away from the SyncServices folder in Mac OS X 10.4. Removing or modifying anything in it—or in subfolders within it—may cause unexpected issues. (This folder is located in your Application Support folder, in your Library folder, in your Home folder.)
Deleting or modifying things in the SyncServices folder may cause unexpected results such as:
• Duplicate contacts in Address Book or appointments in iCal.
• Data loss in Address Book or iCal.
Important: Any lost or duplicate data could propagate to other devices and computers via iSync and .Mac sync. This means data could be lost on other computers.If that is your problem, I suspect that without a backup, duplicate entry deletion will at best be tedious, and at worst fraught with frustration. You may be better off starting from scratch.

Duplicate entries in iCal. I don't get it!

Is there some place that I can go to get a definitive explanation of how iCal, Mobile.me and Subscriptions are interconnected? I don't get it. I always seem to end up with duplicate entries in my calendar. If I remove a check mark in one calendar, then stuff disappears, but if I put the check mark back, then I end up with duplicate entries.
Seems to me that if I enter stuff only in iCal, then I should only see it once. Unfortunately, Mobile.me or subscribed calendars seem to cause things to appear more than once. Birthdays are a real problem. I enter them in contacts, but Mobile.me seems to want to pull them from there and from the calendar, then they show up twice. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, and there doesn't seem to be any clear instruction (that I can find), clearly outlining where or how stuff should be entered. Maybe I'm just dense, but trying to sync between Mobile.me, my Mac, iPad, and iPod....is making me crazy.

JimminyC,
Try contacting Apple using Apple - Support - MobileMe.

I had duplicates in ical and address book. i got all deleted, but now when i import ical that was backed up, it goes away in a few seconds. my address book still has duplicates.

I have a mobileMe account. I had duplicates in my address book and ical. I got all deleted and tried to import info back. Now my mac will import ical saved file in .icbu for only a few seconds and my address book still has duplicates.

Not sure why, but now I have two of everything. GREATTTTTTT.
