Syncing calendars ends up with double entries

I recently upgraded to snow leopard so I could continue to sync my calendars. Now when I sync, I end up with double entries of everything on my imac, although the ipad calendar is ok.
Ideas?

I have a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone. When I enter items on my calendar I end up with double entries on my phone and pad. What can I do to change this?

How can I get duplicate entries from showing up on my iPhone and iPad calendars? My MacBook doesn't have doubles.

It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

Having trouble with double entries in ical after installing Lion. After entering an event, another one pops up right next to it.

Check iCal preferences, the Accounts Tab. You might have duplicate accounts.

Pearl stopped syncing Calendar, Storm will with Desktop 4.7

I just reformatted my computer and installed Windows XP Pro fresh on a new harddrive and have been loading software back in. I got around to our phones and I can't figure out what's up with my wife's Pearl.
I am running Windows XP Pro
Service Pack 3
We have two blackberries.
Mine: Storm running OS
4.7.0.148
Verizon
Wife: Pearl running OS
4.5.0.77
Verizon
I just downloaded Desktop Manager version fresh from this website:
4.7.0.37
The storm syncs just fine, but the pearl will not sync calendar. It will sync the address book just fine, but when it comes time to sync calendar, it waits on a blank screen then just "dings" like it's done. I check the logs of the pearl sync, and I can see in the log where it says
On 7/12/2009 8:02 PM
Synchronize Device Address Book with Microsoft Outlook Contacts
then at the end it says:
Translation successful.
There are no logs of an attempt to sync calendar, only Contacts (address book)
I have found a few post topics on this already doing a search in this forum. Most of the topics are not the same problems as this pearl phone. So if this is a duplicate post, sorry, but I didn't find it in searching....I did try several ideas in the posts I found:
One topic referrences and KB article on Blackberry, with four resolutions to try.
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB13801&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Resolution #1 was to repair the install: I tried that.
Resolution #2 doesn't apply to me, I am running Windows XP Pro
Resolution #3 was to redownload desktop manager from the web, and disable all virus scanners: I tried that.
Resolution #4 was to reset the configuration on the phone: I tried that too.
I rebooted my PC, I rebooted the pearl phone: None of the above have worked.
I disabled virus, and disabled firewalls, then tried to sync. Did not work....Keep in mind the Storm has no problems syncing either address books or calendar.
There was also referrence in the post to check and see if calendar can be viewed if you go to Advance in Backup/Restore. Yes I can see the database in the phone, I can see "calendar all" database on the phone side.
There is no error that is generated when this happens.
I have a desktop Video AVI file of this process, I captured the problem with a video, if you'd like to view it, please PM or e-mail me and I would be happy to share it with anyone that thinks they can help us.
Please keep in mind that I have a STORM blackberry, using the SAME PC, the SAME Blackberry desktop software.
The Storm will sync the address book and calendar just fine.
The Pearl will only sync the address book, but stops with no error when it comes to the calendar.
Before my Windows XP re-installation, both phones seem to be just fine. The only difference I know of is that I am running Service Pack 3 on the PC now and before the re-install of Windows XP, I was running Service Pack 2.
Anyone have any ideas?

Changed the calendar default to Outlook and not Facebook as Steve suggested in his blog, and this worked.

HT1386 when i try to sync, each device i sync to ends up with different amount of information, for instance in iTunes, i have my eric claption collection which has 34 albums. but when i sync to my i phone, there are only 26 albums, same with my touch, on

When I sync my I tune music library to my other devices, none of the other devices end up with the same amount of music. For instance, in my itunes library on my mac, i have 34 complete albums. When I sync to my iphone only 26 albums come over (it is not a memory issue, i have 25 gb of free space on my iphone), on my touch, again syncing with changing anysetting, i only getr 26 albums, but not the same 26 albums that i get with my iphone, again no memory issue. When I sync my ipad mini, my clapton collection tells me I have 48 albums with 340 songs, agin on my mac I only have 34 albums with 421 songs, agan, no setting changed between syncs. on My Ipad tablet, my clapton library shows 340 songs with 57 albums. By the way if I go into my clapton library and count manually how many albums are on my ipad there are only 25.
Tech suppoert has been worthless, they keep haveing me do the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. Pure insanityl
Does anyone have similar issues or have a clue as to what is going on or where to get competent help in resolving these issuse.

Are all these songs associated with the same Apple ID or were some purchased on another account?
Are they tagged properly? In the library does it break an album out into several different albums with a few tracks each?
Check your sync settings for each device. Do you accidentally have only certain songs/albums syncing?

Still unable to sync calendar from Outlook with iPhone 2.0.1 / 7.7.1.11

I have an older non-3G iPhone which worked fine on sync’ing with Outlook2007 running on my Vista laptop. Then the upgrades to 2.0 and 7.7 came through automatically, and ever since sync’ing just doesn’t work.....
Leaving aside all the problems that I’ve had over the past month, and the various suggested solutions that I’ve tried (all unsuccessfully), my current situation with 2.0.1 and 7.7.1.11 is that:
1. iTunes is currently set up so that it does not sync anything automatically on startup
2. But on starting iTunes with the iPhone on the USB port, the first thing I get is that “OutlookSyncClient has stopped working” (why? I’m not trying to sync anything yet – and I don’t use either MobileMe or Exchange)
3. Then if I go to the “info” tab for my iPhone, select “Sync Calendars with Outlook” and select “all calendars”,
4. When I select “apply”, the “all calendars” button is automatically de-selected, and the “selected calendars” button selected
5. But the “selected calendars” selection box is empty – so there is no calendar to select
6. Not surprisingly, the calendar on my iPhone is now empty
(I haven’t dared try sync’ing contacts yet – I’d be lost without my contacts on my phone).
Other info is that:
a) I use Microsoft Office Live Mail through Izymail (POP3 works OK through Wi-Fi, but has never worked over any other iPhone connection)
b) I’ve two calendars – one in my Personal Files PST and one in my Office Live Mail account (but iTunes doesn’t seem able to see either for selection)
c) My Outlook calendar is only held locally on my PC – not on my Office Live account
d) My Outlook uses some Add-ins – I’ve deleted all that I don’t need – the only third party one (other than the iTunes add-in) is for my Dymo label printer. The rest are shown as inactive.
e) My PST file is (now) a Unicode PST file
f) I’ve trid sync’ing both with and without “replace information on this iPhone”, and I’ve tried deleting the iTunes sync history, all without any improvement
Any/all suggestions are welcomed for trying to solve this (my suspicion is that if I can get iTunes to ‘see’ my Outlook calendars I could select one and it might sync OK?).
Many thanks in advance
Phil

I followed the procedure for iSync in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7477550&#7477550
Here is the procedure:
Move the SyncServices folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices to the desktop
Trash all the caches in ~/Library/Caches
Restart machine (with fingers crossed)

How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes. Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google. Any ideas?

You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
(The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

For some reason when I uploaded my photos from my i pad i have ended up with doubles and triples of many photos. How can I find them and then delete them?

When I uploaded photos from my ipad to my desktop, for some reason I ended up with numerous doubles and triples. How can I find the duplicate photos and isolate them and then delete them?

Pretty sure they are just jpegs from my canon 7D
How did you get the photos from your Canon into your iPad?

If I use Migration Assistant to transfer files a second time from my iMac to my Macbook Pro, will I end up with doubles of files on my Macbook?

I used Migration Assistant from my Time Machine for my iMac to my Macbook Pro (I'm pretty sure) when setting up my new laptop to transfer files I wanted from my desktop; now I have new files on my iMac that I'd like to transfer, and I'm wondering if Migration Assistant will send files that I already transferred to my Macbook again, thus creating doubles of files on my Macbook

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Migration Assistant creates a new account to transfer files from another Mac, so you will end with doubles of files on the MacBook.
To avoid this, you can go with the easier way: get an external drive, copy all the files you have on your iMac to the external drive, connect it to the MacBook and copy the files on the external drive to the folder you want to.
Another way is to transfer them through your network. If you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion on both Macs and they are connected to the same network, use AirDrop to transfer your files. Simply open a Finder window on the iMac and choose AirDrop in the sidebar. Then, drag the files you want to transfer to your MacBook Pro's icon.
Finally, if you have FireWire in both Macs, you can use Target Disk mode on your iMac (hold the T key while your iMac is starting), so your MacBook Pro will detect your iMac's hard drive as an external drive and you will be able to transfer whatever you need

Responded to pop up to download iCloud. Selected sync calendar and contacts with Outlook. Now my contacts have disappeared from Outlook. Any chance of recovering?

Hi
Thanks for your comment. Do you currently tether through your BB? I can get access to the internet to use my Outlook but when I try to sync by contacts and calendar, I am unable.
Is your set-up similar?

Outlook for Mac : Cannot sync calendars or contacts with ipad/iphone

I have looked at all the forums, product literature, etc and it seems that there is no way I can sync my calendars and contacts with Iphone/Ipad.. I know this is possible with Exchange or Microsoft Office 365 but I don't want to change my current sw. I am really frustrated.. Any clues?

No, the only online solution supported with Office for Mac is Microsoft Exchange.

Can't Sync Calendar and Contacts with Outlook 2007

I have an iPhone and I usually sync my calendar and contacts with my Outlook 2007. But since a few days wherever I change or add a new information (PC or iPhone) it doesn't sync. Nothing changes in any device. No error is displayed. Does someone know what can be possibly happening, since it has worked perfectly since 2009? I have tried to remove the calendars and add it again and didn't have success.
Thanks.

Open Microsoft Outlook. Go to Tools > Options, then in the "Other" tab. Check the box next to " Make Outlook the default program for mail , contacts and calendar. Confirm by clicking OK.
Microsoft Windows XP :
Click on the Start menu and choose Set Program Access and Defaults.
In the left pane, select Set Program Access and Defaults.
In the right pane , select Custom.
A line Choose a mail program default , select your Outlook email client.
Microsoft Vista :
Click on the Start menu and choose Default Programs.
Then click Choose your default programs.
In the left pane select Microsoft Outlook and right click Set this program as default.
Close the window by clicking OK.

TS1638 When syncing calendar on iPhone with Microsoft Office whole day appointments get moved to double day. I am aware this may be caused by conflicts in clock, viz daylight saving time. However, Outlook seems OK and takes time from Windows time and zone

When syncing my iPhone to Microsoft Outloook all the full day appointments become two day - 2300hrs to 2300hrs next day. Sometimes this will include a nuber of a single day of 23 hours. Looked at solutions and all point to a clock issue or a daylight saving and winter times. Outlook operating time is directly from the Windows clock that incudes the change of times for daylight saving etc. It is set for UTC Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisban, London with daylight saving included in the options. I can't see what I can do.

CompanionLink sync calendar,contact,notes with Outlook over USB?

For years, I've been wrestling with the choice of what to migrate to from my hobbly 1st generation iPod Touch. A replacement for my cellphone and the Touch, augmented with a data plan. I am not a natural fan of the Apple cult design philosophy, nor the cavalier security model of Android. Furthermore, I have modest no-nonsense requirements in terms of apps -- I need a secure and efficient to organize my info and priorities, not play Mario Brothers over the web with my garage door opener, or some other frivolous distraction.
The advent of Blackberry 10 was a huge relief. However, I've been reading about the wrinkle with nonwireless 2-way syncing with Outlook, encompassing calendar, contacts, and notes. The latest rumours I've found online about the ETA is end of 2013, and I'm not sure how much uncertainty there is in that forecast. Consequently, I decided to explore the option of buying CompanionLink. I have only found one personal anecdote during my web search, and I'll refrain from describing it here. To get an idea of the quality of the solutio, it was suggested to me to post on a CompanionLink forum, but that might not be the best way to get a balanced view of the product. I figure that a Blackberry forum would be more objective.
Can anyone who has jumped into the CompanionLink pool please share their anecdote of how well it works? Anything that you consider worthwhile, as I may not be able to anticipate all the potentially significant points.
A particular behaviour that I'm hoping won't be in CompanionLink is what I experienced in syncing between Outlook and the iPod Touch via the iTunes app on the PC. If an item (e.g. a note) changed both on Outlook on the PC and on the device, the user must choose which one is the correct one, and must make this choice on the fly. If the conflicted item contained a lot of information, it would be hard to make the comparison on the fly. The correct way to handle this would be to allow the user to choose that both versions of the item kept, effectively yielding two instances of the item. The user can then use text comparison tools to reconcile the two versions e.g. vim, diff, Word, etc. Palm replicated conflicted items, but they've been out of the picture for a long time.
Thanks for any anecdotes on CompanionLink.
Afternote: Oh, and if anyone can point to past examples of a platform vendor changing hands, an the fate of the platforms, thanks for sharing that, too. It is an overwhelming factor in how I decide to go forward.

I totally agree. It would seem that since they sync all of the other parts of Outlook they would do the same for Notes. In fact if you think about it, they are not backing up the built in Notes so it probably was the last item on the list of todos. Probably in the next release of iTunes.
A work around would be to create a contact for the more important notes and then do a sync. Use Notes for the last name and the subject for the first name. That way they would be close together.

How do I sync calendars on iPhone with my Mac

I'm trying to sync my calendar info from my iPhone 5 (OS 7.0.4) with my Mac (OS 10.9) Calendar application (7.0).
I was syncing through iTunes, but I'm told I now need to use iCloud. How is this done? All of my up-to-date info is on my iPhone, so I want to make sure that stays as is.
Thanks

Name,
I find iCloud convenient and reliable for Calendar syncing. Since you appear to have the required equipment and software, I recommend that you consider using it.
If security of your data is a concern read:
1. iCloud: iCloud security and privacy overview.
2. How secure is iCloud? | Macworld.
Setting up iCloud is best described by reading:
1. iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices.
2. Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
