Why are all my events showing up twice? Each time I enter a new event, it duplicates (same day, same time, same details)

The events auto duplicate - on the computer I use to enter them and on others that are synched to it. If I delete one of the identical entries, both disappear. Any suggestions? Driving me nuts! (ok, it may not be a long drive....)
Thanks!!

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

Why are all the events in the XML SAX parser not activated?

Hi everyone,
I have written a mini server that parses XML files into SQL queries.
Below is a segment of my code;
          try          {
               Class.forName( JDBC_DRIVER );
               myConnection = DriverManager.getConnection( DATABASE_URL, "username", "password");
               EventXMLParser myEXP = new EventXMLParser(directory, myConnection);
               File[] xmlFiles = directory.listFiles();
               for (File xmlFile : xmlFiles)               {
                    myEXP.XMLtoDB(xmlFile);
                    outWriter.println("File:" + xmlFile.getName() + " DONE");
          } catch (SQLException e)     {
               System.err.println("SQLException for establishing connection");
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException e)     {
               System.err.println("CLASS NOT FOUND EXCEPTION HERE");
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (Exception e)     {
               System.err.println(e);
               e.printStackTrace();
          finally {
               outWriter.println("PARSING COMPLETED");
               outWriter.close();
     }Where the constructor EventXMLParser constructs the following:
     public EventXMLParser(File path, Connection connection)     {
          super();
          try     {
               this.XMLpath = path;
               this.db_connection = connection;
               this.xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
               this.XMLSAXhandler = new DefaultHandler(); //create a new own handler
               this.xr.setContentHandler(XMLSAXhandler);
               this.xr.setErrorHandler(XMLSAXhandler);

}     My question is: I have taken my SQL query generated by toSQL() method in events and it worked.
Here is the funny thing:
Everything is correct syntax wise: No complaints what soever
The mysql part works: Tested separately.
So I tend to think that the problem lies within the SAX parser. I have written SAX2 parsers on this machine before and they have worked too. I tried inserting println statements all over startElement endElement etc etc only to find out that the SAX parser did not call any of the methods that I overided!! Why is that so?
Can you guys spot where my SAX parser fails?

I see.
I try to correct this problem by removing super();
so right now my code looks like this:
     static Event temp = new Event(0, 0, "null", "null", new Date(), 0, "null", 0);
     static String CurrentElement = null;
     static File XMLpath;
     static Connection db_connection;
     static XMLReader xr;
     static DefaultHandler XMLSAXhandler;
     //Constructor,      Build the SAX Parser
     public EventXMLParser(File path, Connection connection)     {
          try     {
               this.XMLpath = path;
               this.db_connection = connection;
               this.xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
               this.XMLSAXhandler = new DefaultHandler(); //create a new own handler
               this.xr.setContentHandler(XMLSAXhandler);
               this.xr.setErrorHandler(XMLSAXhandler);
               //System.out.println("DEBUG: db_connection is " + db_connection.toString());
          catch (Exception e)     {
               System.out.println("Constructor Error!");
               e.printStackTrace();
     }This time, I created a new instance of default handler() which can be referenced by as the objects's XMLSAXhandler. However, that did not solve the problem, why does the problem still persist?
Right now, there is only one instance of a default handler created. So why does all my parsing event functions still get ignored?

Why are my iCal events not the same across views?

Help! I've been editing my iCal in Month view and everything looks great... but then I look at the day view (or week, whatever) and it's not the same. For example, in Month view for July 2 - I have one event scheduled from 8:30-noon. Then I look at the day view... and there are 8 different events! Most of them duplicates of different things that I had at one time or another deleted or changed. Why didn't the "clean up" work that I did in the month view carry over to day or week view? In fact the opposite, there are more things in day or week views than I ever created.
Recently upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. Recently changed from mobileme to iCloud. I only have iCal set to my iCloud account (no "on my mac" iCal calendar data). So the problem I see when editing on my MacBookPro is also seen when logged into iCloud directly via Safari and on my iPhone, iPad, etc. At first I thought this was an iCloud syncing error because I only noticed the difference on my phone (list view)... but when I went back to my MacBookPro I realized the problem exists there too... so doesn't seem to be a syncing error, but rather a "view" error... then the "problem" is mirrored everywhere.
I've tried "refresh" and "refresh all" from the Calendar drop down menu. This does nothing to help the problem... not that I really expected it would.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm going crazy!
Mac OS X 10.7.4; iCal 5.0.3

Fixed my own problem. Ultamately a user error but tied to the many threads about the month view defaulting events to "all day" vs. hourly increment. I knew that was the case, so when editing events from month view I made sure to add/change the time, but negected to look at "To" date. If my event was for an hour, simply adding the hour pushed the day to span across dates so the event was really 25 hours. Looked OK in the month view (just showed as a dot) but the day and week were all filled and casued the event to appear twice on the second day in list view (iPhone). In the case of repeat events, sometimes "To" date ended up as the end date for the repeat cycle... which really messed every thing up... I believe causing what looked like duplicates, etc.

Why are all contacts & calendar entries listed twice? Syncing Problems?

Hello,
I am synching my iPhone 4S with iCloud (push) and also with cable connections.
All contacts are listed twice and all meetings are also listed twice!
Even when I delete the second contact manually it shows up again when I sync - crazy.
I have truned off Google Contacts sync and tried again. But it is still happening.
What can I do?
Best
Monty

You either sync your contacts & calendars over the air with iCloud or by USB with your computer...not both at the same time. Doing both will create duplicates.

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

Hi,
( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
So the menu bar reads iChat, File, Edit, View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
There is no Buddy List open.
There is no other window for iChat open.
In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
Is an item ticked in the list ?
Is this a green (Available item) or Red ( an Away one) ?
Can you access the Accounts option ? (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
Is anything in here ticked ?
In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
Type in:-
~/Library/Preferences
Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

HT5557 Why are all my books that I have purchased no longer in my library?

Why are all my books that I have purchased no longer in my library?

The problem is, if I'm in an area that I don't have service or Wi-Fi and I want to read a book that I have purchased and paid for and I can't retrieve it...it is extremely annoying. I have paid A LOT of money for MANY MANY ebooks. I HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED THE NEW 7.0 SYSTEM BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE IT. I HAVE IT ON MY IPHONE AND IT HAS TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY CALENDAR AND A FEW OTHER APPS. I DID NOT WANT THE CHANGES ON THE IPAD TOO. In other words, I have done nothing different. My Kindle app is working great and has twice to five times more e-books in it. The sad part is that iBooks charges more and does not get the new releases out as well and timely as Amazon. I use Amazon more often now but I do like to keep my series together and for that reason I of still use them occasionally.

Re: Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

I am having the same problem with texts not appearing on my online text log and have also noticed a huge increase in data since my two sons have had their iPhone 5s. I have the iPhone 4. Two problems here
iPhone users DO appear. In the posted questions and response below, you indicate that if we are all using iPhones then we are not using the Verizon network but using data. HOW DO I STOP THIS DATA USAGE AND RETURN TO USING THE NETWORK? I can't afford the data charges that I am getting.. HELP!! and Thank you.
1.   Re: Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?
          SuzyQ   May 11, 2013 8:03 AM (in response to aheath17)
If you are all using iPhones, then it's likely the texts are going through iMessages and therefore use data. Since the texts are not using the Verizon network, but the app, they do not show up in the logs. The app is not specifically blocking the texted numbers from showing up, but the information comes through Verizon as data usage, not numbers texted.

    Sparkyjames81,
Lets figure out just where those texts are going! There are many apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones that will allow messages to be sent over the internet, and therefore they are not actually text messages and will not show up in our records. Even Facebook has their own messaging app available that does this.
If you have an iPhone, they come with a service called iMessage that allows for messages to other Apple devices be sent via the internet, and this will also not show up on our records. These are all ways to bypass our actual texting services, and since these messages are not being sent as texts they do not show up on our records.

Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

<< Discussion moved from All Things Community to Apple for better exposure >>
Why are there numbers not showing up on my call and texts log when i look this up online at verizon? There is one number that my daughter texts and calls a lot i found from her phone log but not one time does it show when i look this up on the Verizon wireless call log??? We all have iphones is there an application or something that can block certain calls from showing up? It clearly has texts on her phone from this number why would it not be on the call log?

Thank you for your reply.
However, wouldn't an iMessage show up different than a text? It looks just like every other text on her phone. We all have iphones in this house and they always show up as texts on the call log but this one number seems to be blocked somehow from showing up on the text log. And there are texts from weeks ago and it's from an actual number not computer or any weird/odd code and yet it never comes across on the text log when i look it up.
If you are correct and it's coming across as iMessage is there a way for me to block texts coming across this way so they all show up on the text log?

Why are my contacts not showing up in my iMessage on my macbook pro?

Why are my contacts not showing up in my imessage on my macbook pro?

open messages. go to messages>preferences>accounts. select your icloud account from the left sidebar, and uncheck 'enable this account' then recheck 'enable this account'
you should also be using icloud to sync your contacts. sytem preferences>icloud. check the 'contacts' box

Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can. The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
Thanks
