ICal syncing showing events twice

running ical 1.5.5. looks fine on my computer, but everything i sync it with (iPod, online Published calendar, and konfabulator PIM widget) shows every event twice, sometimes three times. very weird and very annoying. anyone have any ideas about this or how i could fix it?

Hey Andrew,
this might help for I too have had the misfortune of stumbling onto this problem. I had duplicate and even triplicate events. Basically you can have either your calendars as a group to publish or as individual calendars published. You cannot have both published for example you cannot have the group CALGROUP set to publish and all the other calendars under it set to publish also. So far it has worked for me. Just set all the other calendars "under" the group name to unpublish and just have the group name set to publish. Hope this helps.

Upgrading to 10.6.1, iCal not showing events

After having upgraded to Snow Leopard, my iCal data has been corrupted. The calendar now only shows events from the beginning of this year (2009), except for the birthdays. Restoring under 10.6.1 from the backup file (backup under 10.5.9) gives the same result.
I have searched the forum for answers. It seems to be a lot of trouble with SL and iCal, but I so far cannot find any solution to my problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After careful thinking I found the solution to my problem. The solution might be helpful to others, I therefore post it.
1. I booted from the Synchronize Pro X disk. Logged on (to the backup disk with OSX 10.5.8) and then opened my MobileMe account from System Preferences.
2. I set up synchronizing manually the Contacts and Calendars with MobileMe.
3. I synchronized the Contacts and Calendars.
4. Quit all and rebooted from my Master disk with 10.6.1
5. Opened my MobileMe account from System Preferences.
6. I set up synchronizing as under no 2.
7. I synchronized Contacts and Calendars (or rather merged them)
8. Quit my MobileMe account.
9. Opened my iCal - and - voila, there they all were - my events from 2004 onwards to this day!

ICal Alarm show event button broken

When an iCal alarm reminder pops up, clicking the button to show the details of the event has no effect. This is a new problem since using the transfer wizard to move to a new computer.
I tried deleting all the iCal preferences and searching the discussions, and to no avail. Any ideas of things to try or similar experiences?

Ical not showing events from mail

I have upgraded to Lion OS X from my Snow Leopard install. I have since updated to 10.7.2. I was going to give Apple's Mail client another try since upgrading to Lion. It's working fine so far, except that I have a problem with events not being being added to iCal.
In the Mail program I have a time for a webinar that I was added to iCal, when I click on the date link, I'm asked it I want to add to iCal. I can see a mini view of a calendar in the Mail program with the event added. (Via Image: SS002.png)
But when I open up iCal to check that it was added. I don't see anything added for that day. (Via Image: SS001.png) Even though the Mail program says that it's there. (Image: SS002.png
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this exact problem today but worked out that in my case I needed to hit Edit and then change the Calendar from my Gmail calendar to iCloud/iCal. As soon as I did that it appeared in iCal instantly.

After I upgraded to Mountain Lion my ICal will show event times in day, month and list format but not week format. I can click get info to find out the event time but that is cumbersome. I checked the box to show event times in preferences but no go

cannot get times to show on my events in week format since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I move the event up or down to change times and nothing shows on the event frame like it did with Lion.
I checked preferences and cannot seem to remedy this. Does anyone else have any ideas? Is there sometihing I need to set or is this anot
her bug?

ICal syncing old events

Hi
I have a strange problem... I just moved to a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. Now when new CalDav events come in, iCal picks up an event in my email from two + years ago and adds THAT to the calendar ... not the new event.
Any ideas?

I found the problem was a setting on the SLVR for deleting events in the phone's datebook after the set amount of time passed.

Every time I add an event, it shows up twice

Whenever I add an event to iCal it shows up twice. Even if I add it from my iPhone.

If you have a Time Machine back you might just restore the iPhoto Application from better times.
If not I would re-install the iPhoto.app
Do not delete the iPhoto Library in your pictures folder.
Trash the iPhoto application (in your applications folder), the iPhoto preferences ( username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist) and all receipts with iPhoto in them (Macintosh HD/Library/receipts)
Install from your iLife 09 disk or the systems restore disks that came with your computer (install bundled software option or click here for MacWorld's instructions: http://www.macworld.com/article/132243/2008/02/pacifist.html

New events in iCal are entered on my iMac. These events pass through correctly to my other computers and iPhone. However, each new event shows up twice on my iPads. The clutter is distracting. Anyone have suggestion as to correcting this annoyance?

ICal Sync- Not showing location of event

Hello, my first ipod is becoming a nuisance. I want to be able to see more detail of the calendar events sent from ical or entourage for that matter. On the ipod each event shows up with the summary, date and time. No other information is shown. I need the location of these events. They are shown clearly on ical and entourage. Is this a limitation to the calendar on the ipod or am I doing something wrong? I have synced the calendar with iTunes and exported the file from ical into appropriate folder on the ipod. Both ways do not work.
Any help will be welcome.

David,
If I am understanding you correctly then your first issue is that while a person's birthdate can be an event in iCal and shows up as an event in the iPod calendar after you sync, if you pull up the person's contact information on the iPod it does not show the birthdate, even if you have manually added birthdate as a custom field in Address Book. That may be an iPod limitation. The iPod contact display includes names, addresses, phone numbers, web address, and notes. That's about it I think, although I haven't dissected it much. What I personally have always done is put birthdate in the notes. However, if iTunes sync treats custom fields in AB the same way it handles meeting locations, then the custom fields MAY be being passed to the iPod, they are just being ignored. If so, then it probably wouldn't be too difficult to write a Perl script to copy the birthdates into the notes field so that they show up on the iPod. That might be useful to folks, so I'll look into it.
The second issue you describe is AB's import ignoring the birthdate field that you have in your tab-delimited Filemaker Pro output file. If that doesn't work my only guess would be that it is because birthdate is not a standard field in Address Book. This may be a limitation of the import that would affect other non-standard fields as well, like Nickname or Maiden Name. I'm afraid I haven't played with the import though, so I do not know for certain.

Ical not showing new events and older events as well

Hi There,
Since (as I recall) last monday, iCal started to work strange. Or, better put in other way: stopped working.
I have three calendars only (personal, work and "no category), all of them syncing with iCloud. There are two other local calendars too (in "my mac"), but I don't use them and they are unchecked.
I only use my macbook white and an iphone 3GS, also syncing with iCloud.
I don't subscribe any external calendar and don't accept any kind of invitation. It is a basic-simple use: I set my appointments (throw the whole year) and want to see / edit them on iphone.
Finally, I use reminders (on iphone) a lot and share the "personal" calendar with my with (she uses iCloud on her iphone and ipad).
The problems are basic two (as I could indentify so far):
1) I can't set new appointments on iCal. Or better: I may set, but cannot see it. For instance, when a double click the Feb 24th to set a appointment, nothing happens, but a "New event" apperars on iCloud, right way. Looks like that iCal is setting the event up, but it just does not show it. Lately, I've discovered that when I go to the week view in iCal, it shows the event, but it just don't appear on month or year views;
2) There are a bunch of events that appear correctly on iCloud (and iphone) but just don't show up in my iCal.
I've been trying to find a solution, already followed a couple of step-by-step possible solution (deleted local calendars, took off iClound accoun from iCal, deleted all files on specific folders in my library), but anything work out. It just don't work anymore.
Scary...
I have just quit iCal and started using iCloud as my main input way for may events.... Wonder if anyone else is facing something like this and if is there any sollution out there.
Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for my bad English.

i have a similar problem. i can't add any new events to my ical. i can do it on ical on icloud but not on the ical on my itouch. i can't edit them either. it tells me the event can not be saved because a calendar has not been chosen. it was working just fine yesterday and now it won't work.
i'm new to this on line community stuff. i posted my questions but i don't know how i'm supposed to see any answers. i guess it doesn't matter that i even ask you this or reply to you because i don't plan to be able to see any comments to this. oh well. computer stuff is just crap sometimes. i guess we have to learn to deal with it.
my paper calendar NEVER gave me any problems. i would just pull out my trusty pen and write down my appointment and wallah! it was done. it wouldn't get erased or deleted or stop working.

ICal / iPhone sync problems - events don't appear in iCal

I have MobileMe set up on both my MacBook and iPhone. All iCal-created events now appear on my iPhone (although only those after 9th May 2008; none before), but if I create an event on my iPhone then it doesn't show up on iCal. If I check MobileMe on the internet, my web-based version of iCal has all events, including those that I create on the iPhone.
On iCal I have two calendar types: Home (Blue) and Work (Green). On my iPhone there are now four types, for some reason: two Homes (both Blue) and two Works (both Green). I have tried experimenting by creating events in all calendars, but none sync to appear in iCal on my MacBook.
Help!

After 3.5 hours on the phone with applecare, I believe this problem of not syncing ical from ipod touch to the ical app is resolved. Here are the steps that made it happen for me:
Log out of main account and log into root account. If you haven't set up the root user yet follow the directions in your Mac Help on your computer. Make sure you understand the implications of setting up the root user account. You may want to disable the root user after you are done with this fix.
In Finder, navigate to /Users/(your account)/Library/Application Support and delete every folder in the Application Support directory that has the word 'Sync' in the folder's name.
Log out of the root account and back into your main account. Sync your ipod touch / iphone and see if this worked for you.
Good Luck!

Ical all day events show over 2 days during standard time (Nov-Apr)

Any all day event (either a holiday or an event I have repeating every year like a birthday) I have on my calender during standard time (from November to April) shows over a two day period.
For example, Christmas Eve shows up on Dec. 23 and 24.
I have tried syncing with time zone support on and off. I have tried using the same time zone in a different hemisphere. I had this problem last year and again this year. Once we switch to daylight savings the event show correctly.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link--seems I'll just have to deal with the Palm/iCal calendaring anomalies. Do these "representation disconnects" have anything to do with the weird behavior of my iCal calendars, now that I've synced my palm data to iCal? Immediately after the original Palm/iCal sync, the calendars came up in iCal with no problem. Once I quit iCal, however, and then re-opened it, the list of calendars had disappeared from the "Calendars" pane to the left of the grid, and all of the events had disappeared as well.
As someone reported elsewhere in this forum, changing the viewing mode (day, week or month) causes the events themselves to reappear, but the "Calendars" pane remains blank.
I had hoped to ditch palm desktop and streamline my calendar /contact--computer/iPhone syncing, but iCal's odd behavior is making me question whether or not it is stable enough to fully rely on.
Is there anything that will make the calendars and events perform more reliably?

Trying to make my calendar work through iCloud, but every event shows up twice on my devices. Why?

I'm attempting to have iCloud keep my calendars in sync over my devices. But the events show us twice on each device. Why the duplicates?
