Syncing calendars results in 3 entries

When I sync my iPhone 4 with my iMac the result is 3 entries of every calendar event on my iPhone. The calendars on the iMac are OK. The contacts and the bookmarks are all OK. The sync also takes a very long time to complete. Please how can I get back to normal and end up with just one entry of each calendar event?
Thanks in advance

seems to have resolved itself on the 4th sync.

Sync calendar entries not appearing in outlook 2010

Hi there,
I'd be grateful for any help on this one as I'm just bout pulling my hair out.
Basically, when I sync calendars on my iPad 3 using iTunes, the entries do not appear anywhere in Outlook 2010 which is my default mail/calendar client.
My setup is as follows:
I have iCloud enabled on my iPad, but for some reason I have some of my calendar entries on the iCloud calendar and some on the calendar on the iPad itself. I thought the easiest way to sort everything out would be to get the entries stored on the iPad onto my PC, then I could easily copy them into iCloud using Outlook.
Within Outlook I have a number of calendars under the main Calendar folder shown in the navigation pane. Some of these calendars are also on the iPad.
As I had multiple calendars with the same name 'Calendar', I thought it would make things easier if I renamed the calendars on the device. In this case, I renamed the calendar which has the entries I want on my PC to Calendar1. When I sync with iTunes and select Calendar1 to be synced, this does not appear in Outlook. Even if I create an empty Calendar1 in Outlook, the entries are still not being copied over.
I'm running Windows 7 64-Bit, iTunes 11 and iOS 6.12. I have changed the backup option in iTunes to use my computer instead of iCloud. This made no difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hussein.

Hi there,
As a follow up to the previous post I disabled iCloud and opted to keep all items on my iPad thinking that I'd rather have too much data than too litt.e I then did an iTunes sync which replicated a lot of data in Outlook, but the renamed calendar still isn't being synced over or the entries that have been added to it. I put in a test entry on the iPad and it's going into the renamed calendar1 but not showing up in Outlook.
Any further tips. I've tried installing OpenSSL as advised on another Apple support KB article but this has no effect.
Thanks for any advice on this.
All the best for now and take care.
Hussein.

Nokia Lumia 800 - sync calendar entries

Did anyone notice that Windows Live will only sync calendar entries within the last “2 weeks” to your lumia? It seems that Windows Live has limited the synchronization through their server. This has caused a lot of inconvenience as past calendar entries are also important.

Yes, I have noticed this - the more responses that users find this unsatisfactory the better and, hopefully, Microsoft/Nokia will address the problem.
There are many times when I need to refer to past items in my calendar, and a 15 day cut-off is unacceptable; I often go back 12 months! I also don't carry a laptop around with me, so logging in to my Windows Live or Google calendar is not an option - that was the reason for purchasing a smartphone.
The Nokia Lumia 800 phone has performed well for me in all other functions but this really does need to be fixed. Come on guys, listen to your users.
I am one of the people that this really DOES BOTHER!!

ATT 680 won't sync calendar entries to server

I am using Active Sync to access my e-mail, etc. It syncs everything from server to phone without difficulty. It won't sync calendar or contacts from phone to server (and there is no error message). I think I understand that it can't sync contacts, but should sync calendar. I have seen several postings about this in this forum, but the answers seem to relate to different phones or different carriers. I have the latest update for ATT 680 users which included an EAS update. My versamail is v. 3.5.5
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

You may want to check with your IT professional(s) to see if you can sync Calendar to the server. The reason being is because some servers restrict things or users from doing certain things. The defaults, unless changed, are setup to sync calendar and contacts usually.

Error syncing Outlook calendars : "sync server failed to sync the phone"; bad Outlook entries?

I just started having problems syncing my calendars from Outlook 2007/WinXP to my iPhone via iTunes, getting the "cannot sync" error. I tried following all the advice elsewhere on these boards -- deleting my backups and resetting sync history, using a different cable/USB port, etc., but nothing helped. I'm strongly averse to doing a backup/recovery unless I absolutely positively know it will fix it, and right now, I doubt that it will.
I looked in the sync log files, and found this:
[2828 @ Wed Jul 06 15:08:27 2011] [_ISDVLog AppleMobileSync.exe] While filtering - Some ids (<CFArray 0254F1B8 [00BC5078]>{type = immutable, count = 15, values = (
    0 : E8034F72-29A8-7448-8CDE-343B4F9B8420
    1 : 91D1F339-ADF7-064D-9BF4-1634B516832B
    14 : 37C931FA-1102-F44D-B670-4E118229A8B9
)}) to filter were not found in the truth! There must be a reference to a non-existent record
So I suspect the problem lies here, and that it's complaining that some calendar records are somehow corrupt or otherwise problematic for the sync engine. However, I'm at a loss to figure out which items these are, or how to even narrow it down to a specific calendar -- it doesn't matter if I uncheck all of the calendars but one, I still get it no matter what, making me think it could be in a calendar I am explicitly NOT trying to sync.
Or...given that the problem happens if I unselect all my individual calendars (the "Sync Calendars with..." remains checked), could the problem be corrupt records on the phone? I haven't tried removing the calendars entirely on the phone and replacing them, although that may be my next step, but if the sync continues to fail, I'll have NO calendar data (instead of just out-of-date data), which is far worse.
Am I on the right track here?

Well, the answer is that I was on the right track with the second suggestion. The problem seems to have been corrupt records on the phone itself. I checked the option to replace all calendar information on the next sync, then synced a second time, and everything restored fine. (Minus the calendar colors that I had arranged just so, but that's fixable with lots of re-syncing and patience.)

Sync calendar between Outlook 2007 and iCloud

I've just downloaded and installed the iCloud Control Panel on my office Windows 7 machine. I enabled Calendar and Task syncing with Outlook on my Windows machine. However, when I opened Outlook calendar, I was surprised to see my iCloud calendar adjacent to my Outlook calendar in Outlook. I'd expected that iCloud would have synced the two calendars. In other words, I was hoping the calendar entries from my Outlook calendar would be merged with those from my iCloud calendar resulting in a single calendar. Now, I've simply got two calendars instead of one. If I want to add an entry to both calendars, must I add it in both places now? That doesn't seem very efficient. Is there a way to merge the entries into a single calendar?
Any help would be appreciated.

I could not get iclould to work well with oultook and just took it off. Wished I had reviewed the forums as there seem to be a lot of issues with outlook and icloud, depsite initially looking like a very good solution. I am running Office 7 64 bit with Outook 2007, on the machine, not an exhange server. Also wanted to sync contacts and calendar with an iPad and Android phone, so perhaps a bit more challenging. After setting up icloud on Windows 7, calendar on outlook synced well with iPpad and android, but I could never get the ipad entries back into the others. Contacts seemd to sync correcly with iPad and oultook, but no solution for android phone. Many calls and discusions, and review of forums resulted in removing icloud which is not so easy. The entries in those calendar and contact files have to be copied back to the original folders and then remove icloud. I then set up iTunes to do the sync and it works. However outlook still had the folders so further clean up was required. Removing icloud does not restore outlook,so it's a bad set up in my view. The modification icloud makes to outlook are not simple to reverse. MIxed level of support does nto help, though today I received pretty capable support with pretty good outlook knowledge. What I was told seemd to work, so I will stck with Itunes for now.

Calendar app contains multiple entries for birthday calendar and Apple US Holiday's calendar.

After the most recent update, my calendar app began showing duplicate entries for all of my calendars (google, birthday and US Holidays). I deleted all of the google calendars from my phone and then added each calendar back to the phone one at a time. After doing this, there were no more duplicate entries for the google calendars. However, I have been unable to fix the duplicate entries for the Apple birthday calendar or the Apple US Holidays subscribed calendar. I tried restoring the iPhone, but that didn't work. I then tried to delete the birth date from various phone contacts, but even though I had removed the contact's birthday, the duplicate birthday entries on the calendar remained. I tried changing the contacts' birth date (i.e. altering the month or year), but that didn't update on the calendar either. I'm using an iPhone 5, ios 7.1.1. I do not sync any calendars with iCloud and when I show the birthdays calendar in iCloud, there are not any duplicate entries. Any suggestions?

Literally, no. You will not find a single identical application for all. Apps that are written for the iPhone and iPad have optimizations specific to those platforms, while computer programs will be at least slightly different as they will have optimized features specific to them.
You could look throught the APp store for something you like for the iOS devices, then check the developer's site to see if they also make something equivalent or near so for desktop and laptop computers.
The best you can find is separate applications (albeit maybe from one developer and designed to work as companion apps) that share data seemlessly somehow, but none will be without glitches at times - just the nature of anything that tries to syncronize multiple devices frequently over the internet.
I use Week Calendar on my iPhone and iPad, Calendar in OS X, and Outlook at work. I do not use iCloud to sync calendars, but use separate Google Calendars for personal, and work calendars, linked through my google accounts to those programs on all my devices. Its worked pretty well for the past 3 or 4 years for me. However, I do use google sync for the Outlook calendar, and you cannot get that any longer (google killed it off, but keeps it working for legacy users).
That's just my setup, but no single app or program exists that I could use for all that (or even just for the Apple machine's alone).

HT1535 sync calendars and contacts to laptop- Windows 8.1

I just bought a new laptop running Windows 8.1 and tried to sync calendars and contacts to my iPhone and iPad to the laptop. Contacts were OK, but my iPhone has developed a second calendar called 'Outlook Calendar' and none of the entries in 'Calendar' [which is the one I use] will sync.

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders? I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard. So, here's my situation.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro. I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1. I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac. Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it. Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created. Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section). Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

ITunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

error message
iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
I have spoken to Apple a couple of times in the last week (approx 2hr) apple support said it could be a Microsoft issue I have spoken to Microsoft and read endless information from the net and it seems that Microsoft is not the issue.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, reset all settings in Settings\General on the phone, reset sync history on the iPhone, upgraded microsoft office 2003 to 2007 and I am still getting the error message.
I have a iPhone 3G, pc is running windows 7 and just upgraded to microsoft office Home and Student 2007 and Office Outlook 2007.
iTunes version 11.0.2.26
iPhone iOS 6.1.3
I have the same error on my wife's iPhone as well.
Any help would be great.

Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue.

Sync new and deleted Outlook entries -- but not changed entries

Mate,
I'm using a basic 8700. When I sync my Outlook Calendar (with multiple PCs per protocol where I start AND end with my base PC), the new and deleted entries transfer in the sync to mulriple PCs, but entries which I have revised (changed appointment time or text, for example) do not reflect the revisions. I've doubled-checked all of my preferences, conflict resolution, etc. It's not a settings issue -- I don't think -- because all new and deleted entries upodate, plus I get a conflict screen if both sides of the operation change the same discreet entry. I've researched it quite a bit but can't find anything on-point about why all new and deleted entries transfer, but old entries which are altered entries do not get updated. Certainly, someone out there syncs with more than one PC (desktop and laptop, for example) and has seen this or resolved it...

HELP!! Does anyone have any suggestions?

HT1386 Can't sync calendars

When I try to sync, most of the sync goes fine, but I get an error message that says, "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "<name>" because the iPhone disconnected." I've tried every style of connection (USB, wireless) but the result's the same. Incidentally, new calendar info FROM the iPhone DOES transfer to the computer, but new info FROM the computer DOES NOT transfer to the iPhone. EVERYTHING ELSE transfers FINE.

Your calendar data is corrupt.
Create a new calendar in the program you have this and transfer your information to the calendar. Delete the old one and sync again.

IPhone without Mobileme syncs calendar

On Saturday I picked up a new 3G iphone and gave my old one (not 3G) to my wife. Had .mac on the old phone. Deleted that account and all my calendar entries and contacts disappeared from my old phone. OK. Then I couldn't get my new phone to sync contacts and calendar. So went to the Genius bar. The Genius, after 1 and half hours got my new 3G to sync calendars and contacts. It had no problem syncing mail.
Now the old phone, without my Mobilme (.mac) account still syncs calendar entries so they appear on both my cloud and my Mac desktop and my iPhone. When I connect the old iphone to itunes, it says it can't sync calendar or contacts because those are managed by Mobileme. My former .mac account is not on the old phone. I tried turning the phone off and on, but that didn't help. Now what?
Any help would be appreciated.

Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar there is one account - a comcast email account and no other. On that account there is only mail settings - user name, email address, smtp, incoming mail server. "Fetch new data" is set to off. Push is set to off.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.

Unable to set Outlook to override iPhone when syncing calendar/contacts

Hi, I connect my 3GS iPhone via USB and sync calendar and contacts. I make ALL changes in Outlook. Is there any way to enable one way sync? i.e. to allow the computer to automatically delete/change previous entries on the phone?

I just dealt with this issue a few hours ago. I too couldn't figure out how to adjust any settings for two way syncing.
I synced my phone so that the contacts on my phone were up to date in Outlook.
In iTunes I selected contacts to sync but then at the bottom of that info screen where it says Advanced... I checked contacts again in that section. It is giving you the option to replace information on iphone with what is on the computer. Then I hit apply and then I select sync.
Kind of an backasswards way of doing things, but I have noticed I've been doing that alot with the iphone.
