Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my Iphone?

Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my iPhone?

It is probably related to your calendar syncing with certain services and/or apps that end up duplicating the entries. Investigate your sync settings like iCloud, facebook, etc or apps like Cobook which can sync your contacts/to facebook and gmail contacts. The birthdays for all of those would then show up in ical. If there is some kind of redundancy happening it might even resync the same info from the same place multiple times. If you can zero in on a particular service or app that might be the cause, try temporarily unsyncing it to ical/address book and see what happens.

  • Why do I have multiple birthdays showing in iCal on my iPad using iOS 6?

    For some reason some of my birthdays are showing up as duplicates in my iCal on my iPad.  I have my calendars sync'd with Google Calendars and one of those calendars is my birthday callendar that I have setup in Google Canlendars.  Only some of the birthdays show up duplicated and others do not.  I can't seem to find any rhym or reason to why some are and some are not.  Anybody having the same problem or have a solution?

    The Calendar app pulls birthdays from the Contacts app.
    If you also have another Birthday calendar with the same birthdays, they will show up twice.

  • Why do I have multiple birthdays listed in ical for one person

    Other devices show only single birthdays (iPhone, iPad, web based login to iCloud).  Just the MBP shows multiple birthdays that are listed for individuals and usually three per individuals=.

  • Why do I have lots of duplicated calendar events on the iPhone?

    On my iPhone 5, I have lots of duplicated events. What could be the cause of this? Under settings I've tried checking just 'iCloud' but that doesn't help.

    Well, it was a bit non-obvious, but I figured it out. I thought the settings might be, you know, with the Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings in settings. But those settings didn't seem to help.
    However, inside Calendar itself if I unchecked "On My Mac" and just left "On iCloud" checked the duplicate entries disappeared.
    I hope that doesn't cause any other side-effects.

  • HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

    I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

    The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
    edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date.  Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
    Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.

  • Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    That's up to the seller of the app. Many, but not all, apps will work on both the iPhone and iPad. For those apps that do you only need to pay for them once, as long as they were purchased with the same Apple ID. But app developers have the option of selling separate versions of their app for iPhone and iPad. For those apps you have to pay for them for each platform.

  • Why do I have multiple entries on my calender

    Why is that I have multiple entries on my calender of the same appointment or holiday since I started using I cloud.  How do I clean up my calender and not have future duplication on my devices.
    I am using the I pad 2 and Iphone 4S
    Thanks

    Click the calendars button in the top left corner of calendar, look to see if you have groups of calendars other than iCloud. I only have iCloud calendars on my phone so can't show you what I mean, but I have other groups on my iCal application on my mac which is sort of similar.

  • Why do i have multiple iPhoto libraries

    I am trying to migrate my iphoto library to a new location but i have 3 libraries to choose from. why were the others created? one library is 90gb, the other 2 are 22 gb
    Should i just delete the other 2?

    No way for anyone but you to know - you have multiple iPhoto libraries because you have created them - only you know when and why
    And only you know if they are ok to trash - depress teh option key, launch iPhoto and use the select library window to open and check each one and then desiece if you want to keep it or delete it

  • Why do I have multiple computer names in Network?

    I have a problem since loading Yosemite.  In my Network list I have 11 other names for the computer each with the original name followed by a number in brackets.  Is there a way to delete these?  Internet sharing is turned off.  I do not yet use a time capsule.  I also get a message saying another device is using the iMac's IP address when nothing else is.

  • Why do I have multiple copies of Pages

    I should say that this is not specifically related to Pages, I have multiple copies of all the iWorks apps on my computer but because I could not find a general iWorks forum I decided just to post about Pages with the asumption that it would be the same for the other iWorks apps. 
    I have the pre-update iWork 09 version 4.5 that was installed from Disk when i first bought my Mac.  I have since upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and upgraded pages (and iWorks) to the new iCloud versions 5.2
    When I go into my Applications folder, I see a subfolder in there called iWork 09, and in that folder is the old 4.5 versions, but I also see the new versions of the apps as seperate apps in my Applications folder.
    See pictures
    Basically all I want to know is if I App Delete the old iWorks 09 versions, will it affect my access to the updated versions, because it seems to me like I have two sets of iWorks apps (one old and one new) and of course I only need the new one

    iWork 09's Pages is version 4.3. Yes you have to versions. They hare 2 different applications with the samme name. I wouldn't delete iWork 09 as it has about 100 more features than Pages has. But if you have it on a disk you can as you always have to possbility to install it again from the disk.

  • Why do I have multiple copies of the same song?

    When I open my iTunes on my iPad I have multiple copies of the same song.  It seems that when I connect and sync to my computer that it does not recognize that the song is already on my iPad, so it sends another copy.  When I try to delete the second copy from my iPad by swiping to the left and hitting delete, it doesn't delete and I see the cloud icon like it wants to down load if from the cloud automatically again.  How can I clean this mess up?

    Hi R_3S,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your Music application is showing your previously purchases music, with the cloud icon, on your iPad as well as what is synced onto it. Please follow the instructions in the following article to turn off Show All Music.
    iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • Why do I have 27.3 gb - I only have 115 pictures?

    Hi, why do I have 27.3 gb even if I only have 115 pics, (just removed 4,000 + pictures). I emptied the trash from iphoto and the finder, restarted, launched Disk Utilities and restarted the computer. Where are these old files hiding? How can I remove them? Thanks, Cynthia

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    This is a better place to post iPhoto questions - you might go back to the Leopard forum and mark the duplicate solved to avoid having two threads going
    I assume that the 115 pictures report is from iPhoto in event view? one way this can happen is deleting photos from albums rather than events which only removes them from the album - not from the disk
    Also do you have an iPhoto? I do not but the re have been reports of the iPhoto cache building up a lot of photos and space - quit iPhoto and in the finder go to your pictures folder and right right click (control click on a single button mouse) on the iPhoto library and select the "show package contents" option - you can put this in list view and sort by size or look (do not touch anything) for the iPhone cache - if it is there and large drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - if it is fine and happy and your size is correct there delete the iPhone cache from your desktop
