ICal on iPhone scrolls and duplicates

I have endlessly googled and searched support for this problem, but I can't find anyone else who has it. When I look at my calendar on iPhone 4 in list or day views, the events will start to duplicate before my eyes and the dates will scroll backward and forward. It will keep doing that until I shut down the application. If I try to look at the month view after the problem starts to occur, it shows that I don't have ANY events. I have shut down, restarted and restored from a backup and nothing has fixed it. I'm hesitant to restore it like it's a new iPhone because everything I have is in folders, and I really don't want to spend the time fixing everything again. If anybody knows if that's the only way to fix it, then I'll do it. Anyone else having this issue?

Gr8fulted,
Can someone give me a "for Dummies" overview on how to resolve this?
Try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

ICal To-Do's and the iPhone Calendar

Why is it that at this stage of development, Apple has yet to offer a solution to manage and sync iCal to-do's with the iPhone Calendar? Am I missing something? It seems obvious that Apple is giving third party developers the opportunity to write the many wonderful To-Do apps out there, and there are many. The problem is, this doesn't fix the problem of sync-ability. I know that there are ways to sync between these third party apps and things such as their own desktop software (Things), which will then sync to to iCal. There are others that will sync to Google Calendar and/or Google Docs, but this is hardly a simple solution. There are always complications when you start syncing too many things to too many places, as the software doesn't always line up pretty.
I'm basically just looking for a simple solution to use iCal, my iPhone Calendar and a To-Do function that will sync seamlessly with both. The most natural thing would be for Apple to include To-Do creation in the iPhone Calendar app with full sync capability with iCal. I find it shocking that Apple hasn't written for this.
There are nice applications out there such as Pocket Informant that integrates a beautiful (and much more powerful calendaring function) with a To-Do function within the same application, but they have no ability to sync with iCal, nor do they have a desktop version of their software.
If anyone has any ideas on this, or advice on the best way to integrate iCal, To-Do's and the iPhone Calendar, please let me know. In the meantime, I will post feedback to the Apple developers with a seemingly obvious enhancement request.

With all due respect, I completely disagree with you. Integrating To-Do's and calendar events is a very natural way of organizing things. There is an app called Pocket Informant which does a very nice job in integrating the two. Even Apple thinks they are (and could be related), or else why even include to-do's in iCal to begin with? You see, it is as if they went half way in their effort. They provide something because they think it could be a good idea, but then they put no time or effort into actually making it useful for the end user. The fact that to-do's and notes show up in mail is also pointless. Why do I need mail to see my to-do's on my computer when I could just look in iCal, which is where they were created in the first place.
Omni focus is a very powerful app. I just think that it is way overkill. What good is an app that helps you get things done, when using it actually impedes getting those things done? It literally takes so much time and effort to work with Omni (if you really want to use it correctly), that you don't have any time left over for the things you need to get done.
And by the way, don't talk about hourly rates when you use words like "Gentlements", "prolly" (for, I am assuming probably", "proccess" (there is one c) "offence" (it is offense, unless you are from the UK, which I am assuming you are not), to name a few. Anyway, spelling aside, you shouldn't really be judging what people make based on whether someone thinks an app is expensive. The fact is, Omni focus happens to be very expensive. I am not saying that it is not worth it. In fact, I really don't know. I know that it is powerful, but for someone looking for a simple way to manage the important tasks in life, Omni is not for everyone, especially when you are spending upwards of $80 when something like Put Things Off (which I like a lot better) costs around $3.

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.

Duplicate entries in ical on iPhone

Since upgrading to iOS 5 and OS 10.7.2 I have duplicate iCal entries on my iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. I also had other iCal syncing problems but by deleting and replacing I think I've solved those.
On iCal entries that I've just now made on my iMac, they are synced correctly on my iPad and ipod Touch. However each of them are duplicated on my iPhone. I think the problem is that on my iPhone iCal app I have multiple calendars under "from my Mac" and also many of them repeated under "iCloud".
On my iPad and ipod Touch I only have the iCloud calendars.
My question is if I delete the "from my Mac" calendars from the iPhone will this eliminate the duplicates?
Will I do any harm by deleting those calendars? If I delete them can I get them back if needed?
Thanks for any help.

I'm having the same problems, I upgraded from Entourage 2008 to Outlook 2011 on my iMac running 10.6.8, and my Outlook/iCal/iPhone/iPad calendars are all different and I have duplicates everywhere, please HELP!!!

ICal syncing with mac and iphone problem - duplicating all alarms.

I have a mobile me account linked to my office mac, my home mac and my iPhone and my wife's iphone. I have been using this to sync all my contacts and calendar for 18 months with no problems until just after christmas. It suddenly duplicated all my contacts and all my iCal alarms. To solve it I had to use time machine to take my ical and address book back a few days and then force everything to update from that machine.
This I thought solved it but now three weeks later it has duplicated all my alarms again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it? It does not inspire confidence in this system if it randomly changes things. How do I know it will not suddenly delete something? It is also very frustrating and time consuming to reset all the data back a few days.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

The synchronization between iCal, MobileMe, and iPhone is one of the biggest embarrassments and disgraces Apple has yet to deal with.
For over a year, I have been battling duplicates with little success. Add to all this MS Entourage, which I had to install last year because Mac Mail doesn't play nicely with Exchange server. (My company uses Exchange for our mail, etc.) To be clear, the duplicate problem existed prior to the addition of Entourage 2008. So you are out of luck, Koolaide Fans; you can't point the finger at MS in this case.
After 6 months of struggling and fighting with Entourage (and because there is no native version of MS Project or Visio for Mac) I finally had to install VM Ware with Windows 7, MS Office 2007, Visio, Project, etc. The MS apps work perfectly under the Windows 7 session. So, I my functionality for business has been restored. However, I am left wondering why I have a Mac if it can't provide me the functionality I need for such basic things as Email, calendars, contacts, and tasks. I am to the point where I am basically doing everything in the VMWare session under Windows.
I am very pleased with my Mac's ability to do video editing, graphics, and sound using Adobe products. But again, I work in mainstream corporate America where 90% of the marketshare is still PC/Windows.
In the end, I am hoping someone from Apple can come forward soon and say "This is EXACTLY how you need to configure your Entourage/iCal/MobileMe/iPhone so that you aren't crippled by duplicates and other nonsense...." It really is ridiculous.

Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

In photos: I have tried to select and delete some duplicate pictures that I transferred from my other iPhone 5S on this new iPhone 5S and when I select the only options available is moving the photos or email/text. I cannot put in trash bin

iPhone 5s photos/video,deleting duplicate photos and video transferred from other iPhone 5s & iPhone 4S
I have tried selecting photos and videos to throw them in trash bin, but the trash bin doesn't work when pressing and or clicking on it
I would like to know how to get rid of the unwanted and duplicate pictures that I've transferred from my other iPhones.
If someone could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it !!
Thank you so much,

How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?

iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini. It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older G5 tower. I am using an iMac. Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office. I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine. All had been well until yesterday.
Thanks for any help.

I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

TS3899 I send an e-mail message from my iPhone 5c and it shows up in Sent folder as a duplicate, 2 of the same e-mail messages sent at the same time.

I send an e-mail message from my iPhone 5c and it shows up in Sent folder as a duplicate message. 2 identical messages sent at the same time. What's up with this? Tried Apple Support by phone, and did a couple of troubleshoots, then my connection with Apple Support was cut off. Issue not resolved yet.

Did the mail get sent? Is the only issue the fact that it appears twice in the Sent folder?

I just downloaded OS 5 for my iPhone 3GS and now my events will sync from my iCal 4.0.4 to my phone but not from my phone calender to my iCal.

Ok, so I downloaded OS 5 to my iPhone 3GS about a week ago and I was trying to figure out iCloud, but then I realized my computer, an older MacBook, is only running 10.6.8 so it can't work with iCloud. So I've deactivated most of the syncing options for iCloud on my phone, but now when I sync my phone with my computer the events from my iCal, 4.0.4, sync to my phone, but the events on my phone will not show up in my iCal.

I've had the same basic problem ever since I purchased the iPhone 4 and enabled iCloud. If I create an event on the phone the event does not show up in iCal, but if I create an event in iCal it shows up on the phone. I have looked at several other threads and it seems I have all the calendar options correctly selected in the settings under calendar and iCloud. What's just as strange is that if I delete the event on my phone that I created in iCal it remains in iCal. I don't use mobileme so I know that isn't part of the problem. Should I turn off calendars in the iCloud settings menu on the phone? Is there another sync menu I dont know about on the phone or within iCal?

I somehow erased everything (all important dates) off my ical on my mac and I'm afraid that if I connect my iphone that it will do the same there. Will my iphone sync the dates that are on the phone and add them to the ical? Or will it delete everything

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Just started up iPhone 4S and done something wrong, I have speaking on all buttons and apps, I would like to switch it off but the phone will not scroll?? Please I'm going mad!!
