Palm OS and Duplicate Entries

My wife uses a G4 Powerbook, OSX 10.3.9. Whenever she sync's her Tungsten E2 she gets duplicated files. I can't seem to figure a way around this? Using something like undupe seems like a backwards solution; others have suggested having the desktop always over-right the handheld - but this defeats the function of having a handheld.
Any suggestions? Please, before she hurl's her E2 out the window (and me with it, for buying it for her...)

It's almost impossible for this to happen with the Palm Desktop. But, I can think of one scenario where it would appear to happen…
Check the current state of the Palm-provided Backup Conduit. It it was once set to backup, but is now set to restore and the switch to this state had occurred after the initial record duplication, then any effort she made to remove the duplicates would result in their immediate replacement, as the Backup Conduit runs last. What caused it initially is a mystery, and will probably always be a mystery.
To correct it, first make sure that the Backup Conduit is set to Backup or Do Nothing. Then, choose once to overwrite the Palm device with information in the Palm Desktop (if the duplicates reside on the handheld and not on the computer) and then restore synchronization. Choose once to have the device overwrite the computer (if the duplicates reside in the Palm Desktop and not on the organizer) and then restore synchronization. If they currently reside in both places, it's far easier to use UnDupe to remove them from the handheld and have it overwrite the desktop once, then restore synchronization.

Missing and duplicate entries in the calendar

I'm a long time (1997) Palm user who's moved to a BB 8330 last month. I can't seem to get calendar syncing to work correctly. In some instances, I am missing items on Outlook. I often have duplicate entries on the handheld. I've searched the forums and there seem to be similar issues and the solutions appear to be around Service Books, but I'm not confident I have a clue how not to lose lots of info.I also cannot seem to find information that explains the relationship between email addresses & calendar (I don't see why there should be any!!!)
Scenario (trying to answer up front the questions from other forum posts):
I am using Outlook on my home computer to manage my personal calendar. I do not have an email account associated with Outlook.I have set up 2-way sync with Outlook for calendar, tasks & contacts
My work uses Lotus Notes. I have set up one sync to the handheld only from the Lotus Notes calendar
The only email account configured on the BB is a gmail account (which is not associated with either calendar). I originally set this up via the wizard, then removed it, but added it back (under Email settings) when I discovered I couldn't send email from the Address book without it. I actually prefer google mobile for email management since it modifies the server state as well. Not sure if the add/remove/add sequence has somehow messed up the calendar?
I have checked under Calendar > Options and two calendars appear. Based on the color associations it appears that Device Default is associated with Outlook personal calendar & my gmail account is associated with the Lotus Notes calendar entries. As far as I know I did not create these associations.
Checking under Options > Advanced Options > Default Services, I see CICAL & CMIME entry and those are both the gmail account.
Checking under Options > Advanced Options > Service Book, I see only one CICAL & CMIME entry and those are both the gmail account.
Separately, I do have a couple of mobile apps to read email (gmail- same acct - and yahoo), but those appear to not integrate into the BB apps directly.
Everytime I sync with Outlook, I end up with lots of duplicate entries on the handheld. I have also noticed that I am missing entries that are on the handheld, but are not on Outlook (in one very odd case, the entry was created on Outlook and now only exists on the handheld). I may have deleted duplicate entries related to the missing items at one time... I can't be sure about that. I believe I currently have a complete calendar on the handheld, but not 100% confident I have a good calendar anywhere.
And as an aside, have to say I'm really bummed that I have lost easy access all my Palm historical data. It appears BB will not bring in old calendar data by design (found that in some BB documentation on their site). Now that I will not keep up with Palm upgrades, at some point I will lose access to that data. Sigh.
Any, all help appreciated.

Hello...correction:

Ok. In that case, try this. (That worked for me when I had similar problem. Ignore if you already tried this)
1) Turn off the phone
2) Remove the battary and place it again
3) Restart your phone
Have the BB ON (e.g., something showing on the display, the HomeScreen would be fine) when you remove the battery. That is the cleanest hard reboot method.
Good luck!

ICloud Address Book and Calendar not syncing. Missing and duplicate entries. Help.

I have duplicate entries in Address Book. I have missing entries on other devices. For calendar it just doesn't sync.
What I've done to try to fix it:
1) I signed out of all my devices from iCloud and MobileMe.
2) I then deleted all the the cache files in Library and any iCloud folders I could
3) I deleted all the address book and calendar entries on each device.
4) Went back and deleted anything in Library and caches.
5) I looked at iClould.com and confirmed they had entries in Address Book and Calendar.
6) Signed back into iCloud on each device.
7) All the devices then began to populate.
Trouble began:
1) Some Address Book entries are missing on devices.
2) iClould has multiple entries for the very missing contacts! All cutting off the notes field at different places!
3) It won't sync the missing contacts present on iCloud but not the device.
Help.

Solved it myself. What I did:
1) I have four Lion OS and two iOS devices.
2) I kept one computer with the complete address book I wanted to start with but disconnecting it from iCloud's Contact sync via Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud uncheck Contact Sync
3) Logged into iCloud.com and deleted all the contacts and groups manually ( many keyboard shortcuts worked )
4) On the main computer, using textedit, I replaced semicolons I was using to delimit items in the notes field with backslashes.
5) Once I confirmed all the other computers and devices had no entries in Address Book, on the main computer I turned back on iCloud Contact syncing. It worked. Correct count of entries and no more breaking notes at the semicolons!
6) Immediately all the other iCloud computers and devices updated to the correct notes! Finally.

Incorrect Dates and Duplicate Entries in Calendar

Hello,
I have had some duplication and incorrect date problems with calendar entries on my iPhone, but not iCal on the Mac that I synch it with. Maybe someone has a clue which troubleshooting path I can follow.
Duplicate entries:
I originally had "all calendars" synching and only a few of these calendars were duplicationg all of their entires. Upon further inspection in the iTunes synch menus, I found that I had a duplicate of each calendar; one with [email protected] and [email protected] I marked only the [email protected] calendars and that has taken care of the duplicates that I can see so far.
Incorrect dates:
I have a few repeating entries in one calendar that was duplicating above, but they are listed with incorrect dates on the iPhone only. These entries are marked all day events, but the pattern is for all the entries to be one day early vs. what is indicated on iCal. Forcing a reload of iCal data from my Mac doesn't change anything.
There are a few things that I could do in my troubleshooting, but are labor intensive. I just thought that I would see if my issue ring a bell with anyone and/or there is a bug that has already been identified.

Ok you can try one thing first, less invasive to see if it clears one set of contacts.
Open your contacts
Swipe down from the top edge > Settings.
Scroll down and turn off each of the various contact accounts.
tap BACK at lower left and now view your contacts.
All that should be left are the "local" contacts. Do you see any, and are they the contacts duplicated?
If so, then close all that and return to your main homescreen.
To clear the local calendar or contact database on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone, complete the following steps:
Swipe down from the top bezel on the home screen, and select Settings.
Select Accounts.
Tap the action menu button (3 vertical dots) on the bottom-right.
Select Clear Local Contacts or Clear Local Calendar.
Now, view your contacts app again. Make sure the ALL TAB is displayed at lower left.
Scroll through and check for duplicates.

Software update show installed and duplicate entries

I ran software update today. It listed an update for "iTunes + Quicktime" and two security updates 2007-001. Also listed were security update 2007-002 and the daylight savings time update.
What is odd is the duplicate entry and that the security update is listed in the install log.
Also, the "iTunes + Quicktime" update refers to version 7.0.2; in the install log "iTunes" version 7.0.2 is listed, note different names. No mention of Quicktime in the update from last year.
Both the security and iTunes updates failed to download completely.
This scenario was played out on both a dual G5 tower and a PowerBook.
What might be going on here?
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The same has happened to me.
I updated yesterday with the DST Updates (including Java 5.0) and ran it again today to find the 'iTunes + Quicktime' and security update 2007-001 listed. Tried to download them - it wouldn't complete - and then checked my install log to find that I have both of these anyway!
Hopefully it's just a glitch. Has Apple perhaps changed the ID of these updates?

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.)

Duplicate entries in TNSNAMES.ORA

Hi,
Is there a bearing or issue if i have duplicate names in TNSNAMES.ORA?
Thanks

I don't see any duplication, what I see it is ambiguous and could make errors. Please fix it.Thanks,
I am actually auditing client's tnsnames.ora. And i found some ambigiuous and duplicate entries.
I am not allowed to fix any but to report only.
Here is sample of duplicate and ambiguous entries.
PROD1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abc.phil.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = PROD1)
PROD2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xyz.phil.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =

(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abc.phil.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = PROD1)
)Actually there are more that 50 entry names thats why they find it hard to check.
Thanks

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

Duplicate entries in calendar and contacts

I have many duplicate entries in my calendar and my contacts. Deleting each one on my Z10 is very time consuming. Is there a way to do this more efficiently, such as viewing the calendar and the contacts as a file on my computer, where editing would be much easier?

SPWebConfigModifications Duplicate entries, applying to all Web Applications and not removing entries

Hi,
Hopefully someone can offer some advice, I may be missing something obvious here.
I'm currently trying to write a feature event receiver to apply web.config modifications that are required by a recent project.
The feature is web application scoped & it doesn't activate by default on deployment, currently testing with a very small addition isn't working at all, I've followed numerous posts about duplicate entries & items being removed, none of which have
helped.
Here is my code;
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
            SPWebApplication webApp = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWebApplication;
                SPWebConfigModification Modification = new SPWebConfigModification();
                Modification.Owner = "ConfigUpdater";
                Modification.Path = "configuration/appSettings";
                Modification.Name = "add[@key='Test']";
                Modification.Sequence = 0;
                Modification.Value = "<add key='Test' value='Server=TestServer;Database=TestDB;Trusted_Connection=True;' />";
                Modification.Type = SPWebConfigModification.SPWebConfigModificationType.EnsureChildNode;
                if (!webApp.WebConfigModifications.Contains(Modification))
                    webApp.WebConfigModifications.Add(Modification);
                    webApp.Update();
                    webApp.WebService.ApplyWebConfigModifications();
        // Uncomment the method below to handle the event raised before a feature is deactivated.
        public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
            SPWebApplication webApp = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWebApplication;
            Collection<SPWebConfigModification> modsCollection = webApp.WebConfigModifications;
            int count = modsCollection.Count;
            for (int i = count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                SPWebConfigModification mod = modsCollection[i];
                if (mod.Owner == "ConfigUpdater")
                    modsCollection.Remove(mod);
            webApp.Update();
            webApp.WebService.ApplyWebConfigModifications();
Upon activation on 1 web app, the entry gets added twice to the web.config of every web application in the farm & upon deactivation the entries remain in the web.config files.
On activation, after this line, webApp.WebConfigModifications.Add(Modification); the webApp is updated to include the entry & only once, however 2 entries for it appear in the web.config files & as mentioned for every web application.
On deactivation, after updating the web app, the modification is removed, however it remains in the web.config files.
I'm wondering if the code actually works, as I can't see anything wrong & if there is some caching occurring somewhere which is applying the extra line/s upon calling ApplyWebConfigModifications.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
Per my understanding, there is an entry gets added twice to the web.config file of every web application in the FeatureActivated event.
As a common practice, I suggest you debug your code to see how it works during the process, it will provide more information for a better troubleshooting.
Also, you can test the code in a Console Application to see if it will work as expected.
Thanks

ORA-13223: duplicate entry for string in SDO_GEOM_METADATA table and

I got the above error while trying to insert a record into the table SDO_GEOM_METADATA. However, when querying this table I did find any duplicate table_name, column_name pair that match with the error.
Here are the steps that I worked on:
1. Add a geometry column into an existing table.
ALTER TABLE GEO_MAP ADD (ORG_GEOM mdsys.sdo_geometry);
2. Register the new column into mdsys
insert into USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
values ('GEO_MAP','ORG_GEOM',

8307)
I got the error ORA-13223: duplicate entry for string in SDO_GEOM_METADATA table even there was no such record in there.
3. I inserted values in the column ORG_GEOM fine.
4. However, when I tried to create the index for this column I got the error:

The situation is we have 2 tables (GEO_MAP, and GEO_REF) that have spatial columns. Everything worked fine until when one of the queries that searched through the table GEO_MAP ran so slow, we decided to rebuild the related spatial index by dropping and recreating it. However, after I dropped it I could not recreated. Keep getting the error:

Duplicate entries using outlook and iCloud

How to restore original calendar in outlook after getting duplicate entries using iCloud between an iPhone and a PC

Good point. Actually, even the wireless sync can cause the problem. "Sync iCal Calendars" in the "Info" tab should be UNCHECKED.

Duplicate entry removal

Currently the omcpany I work for runs corporate time 6. Now don't laugh, we still use netscape 4.8 and the included palm sync (Netscape Calendar Link for Palm Pilot, NCSetup v2). I have a OS 5 palm device. Once a week it seems my conduit craps out and I uninstall and reinstall on the desktop and sometimes the NCSetup on my palm. I then end up with duplicate entries. Is there an automated way to remove duplicates in Corporate Time? My wokr around it to take the palm home sync it using the palm desktop and use the duplicate removal tool. Then bring the Palm to work resync and hope most of the duplicates get removed. We are getting ready to move to Thunderbird. And there is little I can do to influence the IT decisions.

Hi 52779,
I'm not sure if this configuration is still supported, but if duplicates are being created, it could be due to a myriad of possibilities, many of which are Palm limitations.
The oldest supported client is CorporateTime 5.4 (until december), and Oracle Calendar sync for Palm, 3.0.
There is no automated way to accomplish this, as these meetings are not considered duplicates in the database, but were somehow created as new, replicas of the original, with a distinct UID.
The method you describe is as good as any...best regards.
