SP2013 Calendar Overlays, Filter by Category, and Double entry issues

I have scoured the internet and have come up with NOTHING that covers this issue. I hope that someone here will prove me wrong. I am in the process of deploying a company intranet using the SP2013 software.
Currently I am focused on Calendar features. I am building Branch specific pages and calendars I am running into issues where I cannot color code the calendar efficiently. Specifically, I have built the calendar app part for the given site.
I have then added the appropriate filters, Closings, Meeting, Overflow. By following instructions online the thrid "overflow" filter is intended to catch all uncategorized entries. I can display the calendar, and apply the overlays and
the color code appears, my problem is that I am getting double entries for each. I have getting one entry for the calendar with the color code applied for the given category, and a second in the default calendar color. How do i get rid of the default
entry? I cannot remove it from the list of calendars being displayed.
Please help. I have 34 Branch calendars to build and 10 department calendars to work out.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2013 Calendars Overlay had Double entry issues.
Please make sure you create Calendars Overlay correctly.
As you said, there were duplicate events on your calendar.
This happens when you don’t create a calendar view with a filter where the category is blank. This view gives you a blank calendar, and the calendar overlays sit on top of it.
If you don’t use this blank calendar view, you are just adding the color-coded events on top of the existing calendar events.

Airport Internet Sharing and Double Nat Issue on the road

The Airport express is a very handy little piece of hardware that is particularly easy to pack in a luggage and carry along for those of us that are spending lots of time out of the office and home.
So here is the scenario when I travel and check in into an overseas hotel: I got two iphones, one local network, one my home network, and a Mac Book Pro, and soon, [when it finally ships], an iPad.
That makes it at least 3 MAC addresses in one room, and if i have any visiting colleagues to pack up a presentation, I will have more.
Usually hotels in Asia are well equipped with ethernet points in every room. The problem comes when I want to allow all my gears to connect to the internet.
I can use the Mac Book to share its ethernet connection while tethered to the plug, which not only turns it into an unlikely desktop, but also do not champion stability when it goes in stand by or sleeps and at times it even mixes up which is the access point to the net. Therefore this does not seem to be the best solution.
I can put the AE in bridge mode and plug it straight to the ethernet. But most hotels internet access are designed to charge per MAC address, so every time the router assigns via DHCP an IP to one of my gears it requires to accept new charges for that gear, even if they are all in the same room. This definitely does not seem right either.
Now if I configure the AE to share a public IP address and force it to ignore the double NAT warning, the AE light turns green but the internet sharing does not seem to work at all.
My two questions are:
1) Why can't the AE be configured like the Mac Book to have a simple "Internet Sharing" protocol that will be always live and not going to sleep or stand by like the laptop [As the AE is design to be always online as a wireless connection].
2) is there any way to make that "Share a public IP - *** double NAT" work?
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks. M

Hi Bob,
thanks for your reply. Yes the only way to work it out on a typical hotel set up is to adopt the bridge mode and sometime the do waive your extra logs in. But I am not always so lucky and I often need to come up with less optimal solution.
This is a bit disappointing when you a have a AE in your luggage and you can't use it properly.
Yet my Mac can work the problem out effortlessly by just "Sharing a internet connection" with the only major limitation of being physically connected to the Ethernet cable.
Why can't the Airport Express do the same thing? Basically the AE could share the internet connection like the Mac Book, i guess introducing a secondary layer of NAT after the Hotel modem/router NAT setup [which is what the MAC Book is doing].
If AE can't do that at all then I guess soon we will just end up shelving it.
I wonder if this is an actual hardware limitation, MAC Book can wire TCP/IP flow to different sources on a double nat and AE can't, or this is just a software limitation and Apple could fix it with a firmware upgrade.
Any thoughts on this?

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.

Using Calendar Overlays on a Multiple Calendar Views

I have created a calendar with 9 categories. I then created 9 overlays to color-code each category.
This works perfect as long as I am in the default “Calendar” view.
I also have multiple views (up to 24) and a column for the user to select the view(s) to which the calendar event should be added.
For example, there is a view for each Division and Branch.
The user may want the Branch event to also be available in the Division view, so they would select their division and branch from a choice column (check boxes) and the column would contain both values.
The individual views would check to see if the column “contains” the value (division or branch) for that view.
This works fine when viewing in the default “Calendar” view but if I create another view then it is no longer color-coded and my requirement is that every calendar view (all 24) are color-coded.
If I add color coding to one of the other views using overlays, then both the default “Calendar” view and the newly-created view show up on the calendar.
The newly-created view is still only one color but the default “Calendar” view is color-coded and also displayed along with the newly-created view.
So it looks like there is no way to add a color overlay to a view unless it is the default “Calendar” view.
I am trying to avoid building 24 separate calendars and possibly up to 40 workflows to move events between calendars.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robin,
Thanks for the info. I have attached some jpegs to hopefully make my issue clearer. I'm not clear why you don't want your views to return any data. Seems like it defeats the point of a view? I did as you suggested and added an extra filter
to each view "And Title = x". What this did was remove the duplicate non-color-coded records which are currently in the images (all green).
So I have no overlays for the "Calendar" view and created overlays for the SNA and SNAG views.
Here is the result of the SNA View. The events in green disappeared once I added "And Title = x" to this view. As you can see, all the data from the SNA
AND SNAG views are displayed.
Here is the SNAG View. Again, the events in green have since been removed by adding "And Title = x" to this view.
The forum only allows me to upload two images so I will make a separate post for the final image.

Using calendar overlays - iframe overlay not showing (calendar in view)

Hello, I'm playing with calendar in Sharepoint 2013 and overlays.
I'm in the main calendar view and I don't have the "calendar in view" iframe in the calendar view.
I can see all overlays in the calendar but there is no iframe.
The goal is to a legend about what color means.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,

Hi PatLCH,
For this issue, I recommend to check the things below:
Click into the Calendars in View link and then check if the overlay calendars are to set to be visible in View. If not, check this option and then check the results.
Check if there are any custom codes in the page which will hide the “iframes”.
Access the calendar view with site administrator and check the results.
To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend to create a calendar list and then check if the same issue will occur.
Please also provide a screenshot of the calendar view.
Best regards.
Thanks

Changing the view of a calendar overlay inside another webpart

Hi,
I have downloaded and implemented the TabsWebPart from MSDN. Seems to function great.
I have made a master calendar with an overlay including 2 calendars, each with different colors. If I insert the calendar itself as a webpart, my overlay view applies great and you can see the appointements, however if I insert this calendar into the TabsWebPart
(tab1), it shows up blank with nothing. As far as I am aware the process was to close the web parts you want to display in the TabsWebPart, and then edit the xml file with the name of your closed web parts.
Now it seems that once you close the web part, it must lose its view settings? The other problem is that once inside the TabsWebPart, there appears no way to edit the Calendar webpart. Clicking on it simply selects the TabsWebPart edit box.
Have I missed something?

Hi,
I understand that you want to show calendar overlay inside a tab web part. As far as I know, closed Web Parts do not appear in the UI directly. But they stay in the Web Parts collection of the page so that code can access them. When you close a Web Part,
it is not rendered on the page, which improves performance. Closing a Web Part moves the Web Part to the Closed Web Parts gallery, which preserves the configuration and customizations in the Web Part. You can return the closed Web Part (with all its configuration
and customizations intact) to the page from the Closed Web Parts gallery. So it won’ lost its views. If you want to edit the view, you need to edit it before closing it. After you close it, you can access the web part in SharePoint designer while editing the
page. So now, you can add another Calendar web part to show in the Tabs web part and edit the views instead.
Thanks,

Calendar Overlay Across Multiple Site Collections

I have searched the forums and have not found a solution to this question.
We are having trouble creating calendar overlays across site collections.
Specifics:
1. This is a single farm SharePoint 2013 installation. Version: 15.0.4481.1005
2. We have a single web application http://sharepointweb on port 80
3. We are using host-named site collections
4. We have separated the different departments into separate site collections because we want to take advantage of separate content databases.
When we create calendar overlays between calendar lists within a single site collection...it works fine. When we try to create calendar overlays between site collections (again, within a single web app) it fails with the message "Unable
to find specified web in the given URL".
Some more details:

Hi Roo,
i tried some steps, i agree with you that seems calendar overlay cant do good across web application,
from http://y:1234/ and http://y:4563/. seems there are limitation here.
when i extend my web app, usually i create new web app as internal/external/public, then i guess issue is happened.
so, anyway, i got a bit curious if your environment also came out with the same result:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2025977
at the kb, it was stated, that it may not able to find another site other than the default web app.
but, while i tried in the same web app, the issue not there.
so i tried to create new site collection, with lots of subsites, http://y:1234/. then have http://y.1234/sites/123 and http://y.1234/sites/456, for example, i add new calendar and create overlay, seems it can resolve each one and another.
perhaps you can check this article:
