TS4118 is there an alternative to manually remove ical duplicates after sync with icloud

There is a discussion on this issue:
TS4118: If you see duplicate calendars or events after setting up iCloud Calendar.
However, the suggestion there is, if the duplicates are also in your icloud, to delete the duplicates MANUALLY.
I have been using ical or its predecessor since 1999. Removing all the duplicates between 1999 and 2014 manually is not why I have a computer.
I noticed the problem after having upgraded from 10.7.5 to 10.9.2. Before 10.9, I did the syncing of my mac with iphone and ipad over the cable and itune. this worked fine.
Since after upgrading to 10.9  you have to do it over icloud, this is what I did.
Is there a way around a manual deletion?

Hello nomenest,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicate calendar events after setting up iCloud.  I would be concerned about this too. 
It sounds like you have checked iCloud.com and see the duplicates there.  If you are seeing the duplicates on iCloud.com, I recommend contacting iCloud Support for assistance:
Symptoms
After you set up iCloud Calendar, you might see duplicate calendars or calendar events on your iOS device, Mac, or PC.
Resolution
Find out if calendars or events are also duplicated on iCloud.com
First, check Calendar on iCloud.com to see if calendars or events are also duplicated there. If they are, then contact iCloud Support for help.

  • I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

    Hi
    I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

  • IPhone5 Notes removed from phone after syncing with iTunes

    This morning my wife came to me with her iPhone5 complaining that her notes in the Note app have disappeared.  After investigating on her laptop we found them in her Yahoo folders but they weren't on her phone.  Strange.  I had all my notes on my iPhone5.  So we went to work and I researched the issue.  Found out that there are a lot of people out there with this same issue.  This evening I backed up my iPhone5 wirelessly to my computer.  I restored my wife's phone to her last back up that she said had her notes.  No good - not there.  So I reset her phone back to factory setting and restored from her backup.  In the mean time, I plugged my phone in to my computer to check on some setting.  Lo and behold, my notes have disappeared too!  Of course they are all in Yahoo, but what's strange is that not all of my Yahoo notes disappeared.  So it has something to do with syncing with iTunes with the wire, not wirelessly.  I just restored my phone to today's backup and I suspect that since I'm tethered to my computer, the restore put them back and iTunes removed them.  Since I cannot see the Notes folder in the email app - what good is it to sync them to Yahoo?  Ridiculous.  So the key is to NOT tether your phone to iTunes and sync wirelessly.  Now I am going to have to go through the process of emailing all my notes back to myself and copy them into Notes. 
    Any one have a better cost-effective solution? 

    Follow up to my earlier post.  It appears that the notes that "disappeared" from my iPhone fit in a certain date range.  Seems to be June and July.  A note I created in August didn't disappear.  So I just emailed the notes from June and July to myself.  I created new notes on my iPhone in the Notes app for my Yahoo  account.  Automagically they appeared in my Yahoo folder and didn't disappear from my iPhone when I synced again.  Solution?

    You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
    Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

  • How do I get back my contacts after my som manually deleted them from his iphone with icloud?

    How do I recover my contacts after my son manually deleted them all from his iphoe which obviously mistakenly was synced with icloud?

    If you are using the same AppleID for iCloud as your brother, then the contacts were deleted.  There isn't a way to recover them.  Sorry.

  • ITunes album artwork randomly removed from iPhone after sync.

    iTunes 12.1.0.50. IOS 8.1.3. iPhone 5.  23GB free space on iPhone.
    Album art is randomly removed from iPhone after sync.  This seems to be new to the recent version of iTunes.
    Removed and reinstalled all music. No help, problem still occurs.
    Restored iPhone as a new iPhone and reinstalled all music.  At first, all artwork was installed, but on later sync, random artwork was removed or missing.  Problem reoccurs.
    This appears to be a bug in the software somewhere.
    Anyone having similar problems?

    welcome to my world....
    i have had this at least three times now in the past month.
    I too had to do a factory reset and set up a a new phone.
    i read an article about it being a known issue and something to do with duplicate tracks causing it to hang during sync.  it then fills up the available space with the dreaded "other" data and hey ho you have no music.
    have a look at this, hope it helps and hope Apple get it fixed as it is affecting a lot of people

  • Manual Standby Database not in sync with missing archivelogs

    Hello,
    OS: Solaris
    DB: Oracle 11.2.0.1 EE
    Not Using ASM or RAC
    I have a Production database that is in archivelog mode and a Standby DR server.
    Both servers (Prod, Standby) have exact same structure and db name/version.
    We manually scp archive logs and recover them to a manual standby database via SQL Scripts "cron". (I.E. set autorecovery on; recover standby database;)
    We recently got out of sync with our log files and have not been applying them to the standby. As part of Prod Maintenance, these log files were deleted and are not available anymore.
    I've tried several ways to "rebuild" our standby database. I have tried to Shutdown prod, backup all the db files and scp them to standby, re-create standby controlfile and startup mount and recover standby.
    Every time I try to apply a new archive log via recover standby, these are the errors:
    ORA-00279: change 211077622 generated at 1/27/2012 12:18:42 needed for thread 1
    ORA-00289: suggestion : /oradump/arch/PROD/PROD_arch_1_69486_736618850.arc

    ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oradevices/PROD/oraPRODsystem1.dbf'
    When I check v$log_history, the new logs have not been applied.
    I've also tried the "Restore from incremental backup via SCN" method with same results.
    Is there a way to re-create the standby clean and ensure that the log chain that is currently broken gets fixed or reset?
    I would eventually like to get DataGuard in here, but that's not the case at the moment.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    if you are using the cold backup to create the standby database, Check that have you followed the following steps or not.
    1. remove
    all the datafiles and controlfiles from the standby database.
    2. Create a new standby controlfile of the production for standby using the following cmd
    'alter database create standby controlfile as 'Location';'
    3. move the new controlfile to standby database server location as specified in initialization parameter file.
    4. Restore all the datafiles to its appropriate loaction which was taken through cold backup.
    5. startup nomount
    6. alter database mount standby database;
    7. recover standby database.
    scp the archive log sequence that is asked by the database, from production.
    You can try this steps.

  • How can I manually add music to my iDevice with iCloud (especially Ineligible)?

    Greetings!
    Is there a way to manually manage my playlists on my iPhone now that I've signed up for iCloud? I've got some tracks that are ineligible (due to being 4 hours long, so conversion is not an option), and I'd like to get them moved over. But they're ineligible.
    I would really like some way to manually manage my playlists anyway - it's goofy that I have to wait for music to upload to the cloud then have to re-download it before I can listen to it on my iPhone. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Thanks for the input. I suppose I could segment the file, that would be OK. It would be nicer if I could simply get the song onto the iDevice w/o doing anything special. Is there a way to *not* use iTunes Match for files like this? Since switching to iTunes in the Cloud / iTunes Match, I can no longer manually select playlists to synch from within iTunes. Is there something I'm missing? What do you mean by "the option on the iDevice to download all associated Song files"?
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

    Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
    Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

    The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

  • Is there a way to see what files iTunes just synced with my iPhone?

    OK, I've been working with my music files trying to find some sort of work-around to iTunes not updating or deleting my lyrics on my iPhone.  I been working on one music file at a time.  I'll make a change of some sort, then have iTunes "Sync" to my iPhone which is connected directly  to the laptop.
    I've only updated ONE file, but I see iTunes syncing many files.  The first time I can see why, but I'm doing my syncing mere minutes apart, so after the first sync, I would think the only thing to be "synced" would be the one music file I just changed, but I keep seeing others.
    The problem is, the list of files being synced goes by too fast to read.
    Is there a way in iTunes to see a list of what files it just synced with my iPhone?
    I'm using iTunes 11 on a Windows 7 Home Premium system.

    What exactly does the Library item contain?
    Have you thought of changing the Library item to a Server Side Include instead?
    Takes all the tedium out of updating by letting the server do the mundane work for you.
    Create one text file (containing the current Library item code), add a single include statement in all website pages to include the text file. Upload. The entire website is then up-to-date.
    To update all affected pages in future, you merely edit the one small text file (the Include), upload and you're done.

  • HT4972 is there a way to tell which computer an ipad syncs with?

  • HT5262 I use outlook for contact/calendar management, I have an iphone 5 and would a manual iTunes backup and then sync with the cloud work??

    I use outlook 2007to manage both contacts and calendar. I have a new iPhone 5.  Is the bestr way to update iCloud to do manual iTune updates and then sync to the iCloud.

    You want to avoid syncing calendars and contacts with both iCloud and iTunes.  Doing so will result in the creation of duplicates.  If you want to sync your iPhone calendar and contacts with iCloud, consider also syncing your computer with iCloud (requires Vista SP2 or higher and Outlook 2007 or higher).  iCloud will then keep the calendar and contacts on your phone in sync with Outlook without using iTunes.  (You would still, of course, continue to sync with iTunes for your other iTuens media.)
    This guide explains how to set this up: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.
