Why does my iCloud calendar on my macbook duplicate all events? other devices ok., why does my iCloud calendar on my macbook duplicate all events? other devices ok.

all other devices ok  just switched yesterday.

My guess is that you have one set of contacts in your iCloud account and another set (identical) in your "on my Mac" account.
You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book before adding the contacts back.

  • Why does iCloud duplicate my calendar events?

    All my events are duplicated on my MacBook calendar. Does anyone know why iCloud does this and how I can stop it? Also, why can't I delete pictures from Photo Stream?

    For events...  on the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then restart the Mac. Hopefully that will stop the duplicates.
    You can delete photos by Resetting your Photo Stream

  • The Calendar app is showing a calendar from an iPhone that is no longer associated with my Apple ID or iCloud ID, why is it doing that and why can't I remove it?

    I just bought a MacBook Pro and am having some problems with the calendar and contacts list, and my problem could be causing other issues that I am not aware of. So, this is what's happening:
    I had two iPhone5s associated with my Apple ID for a while. When I got this MacBook, and learned of Family Sharing, I decided that it would be better for each user to have their own unique ID. So, I have deleted and set up a new Apple ID and iCloud ID on the phone I want separated from MY Apple ID and iCloud. I want the computer to be associated with MY IDs, not the other phone. However, the computer still thinks the two phones are one in the same, despite the other phone being removed from both accounts and being registered with different IDs. Things I have noticed: The calendar on the computer still has the old phones calendar and still has all of the old phones contacts. When I went to use FaceTime and iMessage, the old phone number still shows up as an option. The old phone is still connected to something, somewhere, but I can't figure it out. My data, contacts, and calendars also show up, both phones show up all over the computer and I only want ONE phone, MY phone to show up. 
    Things I have tried:
    Deleting the accounts from iCloud & iTunes
    Updating the OS
    Rebooting, phones and computer
    Logging out and logging back in
    Creating a new user account on the computer
    Probably several other things I'm just not remembering because it's 4 am and I've been doing this since 11:30 pm and am completely exhausted.
    I've literally been Googling and browsing this forum for hours and trying everything I see, but nothing is working. The computer still thinks it's connected to the old phone. It's making me crazy because the user has literally 39 alarms every single day reminding her to do different things. It makes me absolutely crazy because the notifications are popping up on the computer. PLEASE, HELP ME!

  • Why does my google calendar sync perfectly to iCal on my Macbook Pro but not my iPhone 4?

    The question as title is basically my problem.  Before I got my MacBook Pro I used my iPhone 4 (with iOS 5) to use the iCal app to edit my google calendar.  Events synced perfectly.  After getting my MacBook Pro things still seemed fine as well.  I was editing my calendar on iCal on my MacBook Pro, on Google's on-line Calendar App from other computers, and also on my iPhone 4 through the iCal App.  Suddently events were not syncing any longer.  I don't know what is the problem.  Things changed on iCal on the MacBook Pro still syncs to Google's online Calendar App and vise versa, but I can't do a thing with my iPhone 4 iCal. 
    Any suggestions?  I've tried deleting and resyncing my google account to my iPhone without any success.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Matt,
    I found my own solution to this problem and I think you can get it to work as well.  The thing is that you'll need to make your Google calendar your only calendar.  This means that you'll not want to have a Home or Work iCal because that stuff may not sync well with your Google calendar, but the Google Calendar data will appear within iCal on your iOS and Mac computer without any problems. 
    Before you do any thing I suggest, you must make sure that everything that you want on your calendar is on your on-line Google calendar.  If something is not there and you want it there, the thing you'll need to do is manually add it.  There is no work around that I have found for this.
    Next, on your computer:
    1. Go to System Preferences > iCloud
    2. Make sure that Calendars is not selected.  You don't want your computer or iOS devices to be confused with the iCal Home / Work, etc. calendars.  So let's not sync them.
    3.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    4.  Delete Your Google account there
    5.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    6.  Re-add your Google account
    Now you should be able to go into iCal on your computer and find that your Google calendar is there. 
    You will need to do a similar thing with your iOS device.
    1.  Settings > iCloud > Turn off 'Calendars'
    2.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Delete Gmail Account
    3.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Re-add Gmail Account
    This should make it so that you can use your Google calendar and it will be synced to your Mac computer, iOS device, and the Internet (Google's Calendar Website).
    You can see that this is in a sense a workaround in that you can't sync your iCal Home/Work calendars (or other calendars) created with iCloud to Google.  I'm thinking that's the problem I ran into before.  Anyway it works for me because I only need the one calendar and others are using Google that I need easy access to. 
    Let me know if you run into problems and remember you need to confirm that all your data is saved on the google calendar on-line (you can check through Google's website) before doing any of the steps above.

  • My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we would receive email notifications if either of us made changes to or added an event to the iCal calendar.  Does anyone know why those email notifications stopped?

    My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we received email notificiations anytime either of us made changes to exisiting calendar events or added new items to the calendar.  Does anyone know why these email notificiations stopped?

    iCloud was experiencing problems with this a couple of days ago, where many users with shared calendars were getting email notifications even though their iCloud settings did not select to receive them.  Perhaps when they fixed this problem it reverted your settings to not receive email notifications.  Got to iCloud and check your setting for this.  If it still look correct, try turning off email notifications, save the change, then turn them back on again and save the change again.

  • TS3999 I have a macbook Pro which had Mobileme. I have joined ICloud, but my Calendar does not sync. How do I fix this? I do not see an ICloud Icon on my laptop and the software is updated.

    I have a macbook Pro which had Mobileme. I have joined ICloud, but my Calendar does not sync. How do I fix this? I do not see an ICloud Icon on my laptop and the software is updated.

    This is the situation with Snow Leopard and existing iCloud accounts:
    You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
    Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it.
    There are a couple of alternative syncing services you might like to consider, though they're not particularly cheap:
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
    Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts beetween a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart (click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at €4 per month.
    (I have no connection with these firms and have not tried Soho Organizer, though both have had good reports and I've found Fruux to work well.)

  • Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"

    I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

    I meant to say when in the control panel!
