Would appreciate help am having problems with iCal duplicate entries (100's!!) which I cannot clear?

I have manually deleted and edited duplicates and originals of events and reminders etc many many times but have had no success and i mean hundreds of duplications!   Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Hi Margaret,
iCal Dupe Deleter sees events with the same start time and title that are also in the same calendar as duplicates. If your events are in different calendars then it will not see them as duplicate.
You do not say how you are syncing to your iPhone, but as it is an Outlook calendar you are syncing I expect it will be via iTunes.  If so, this is what I suggest you do.
1. Turn off the Outlook syncing. You'll find the place to do this under Outlook's Preferences > General Preferences > Sync Services.
2. Then sync your iPhone (if it is not via iTunes let me know).
3. Open iCal and if there are any remnants of the Outlook calendars in iCal delete the calendars.
4. Open Outlook and turn on Calendar syncing again.
5. Open iTunes with your iPhone plugged in. Select the iPhone on the left and then select the Info section at the top. Scroll down to the  Calendars section and turn on syncing for the calendars. Then scroll down to the Advanced section and check to replace the calendar information on the iPhone next sync.
6. Sync your iPhone.
Let me know how this goes.
I have heard of several people with Outlook syncing duplicates recently.
Best wishes

  • Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal.  Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

    Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

    Hmmmm.
    At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
    Click on the Finder icon in the dock
    Click on Go > Home
    Double-click Library
    Double-click Preferences
    Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

  • HELP! having problems with the organizer of mediasourc

    hi, i am currently having problems with the organiser view of the mediasource 5. the player view is ok. the explore panel keeps blinking and after a while the mediasource auto closes. this has not happened before during the past weeks. also, another weird thing is that previously when it didn't work, a microsoft error appeared. now it just closes without any message. hope you can help, thanks!
    oh yar, anyway, whats the email adress of the email support?

    What were you doing with the software when the problem occur? A detail step by step description of what you have done is useful.
    i was playing music? haha...
    first i opened the mediasource(organiser view), then, the explorer panel started blinking like mad... then teh thing auto closes, or a window pops up telling me that there is an error( the usual microsoft error...) then when i click don't send, the mediasource closes...
    Did you connect any Zen MP3 player when the problem occur?
    sometimes i did, sometimes i didn't. incidentally, do you have to connect an mp3 player to use mediasource?
    What is the exact version of your MediaSource 5?
    wait lemme check... 5.00.20
    What is your operating system? What is the language of your operating system?
    my operating system is windows XP, and the language is english.
    hope my info has been useful...

  • Help! Having problems with sound on my 4s

    Ive been having problems with the sound on my iphone 4s, it sometimes has a ringtone and has keyboard clicks but it wont play music or have any ringtones or anything. It doesn't even come up with the volume scroll bar or the volume buttons on the side no longer work. This isn't due to liquid damage or anything, this is a software issue. Is there anyway to fix this?

  • Help..having problem with MP3's on a X

    <SPAN>I have just purchased an X-Fi Elite Pro, because of all the problems with the cracking and popping of my older Adugy card! Hope I didn?t waist that $400.00 bucks! It started having some weird loop problems when playing MP3?s through the Creative Media Source Player. It doesn?t do it all the time, but when it starts?I will need to reboot with the reset button to make it stop. If I catch it quick?I can get out of the Creative Media Source Player by Ctrl/alt/delete. When the loop problem happens it is at the start of a song that won?t play complete. Kinda like it starts the song and gets hung and keeps trying to start over and maybe one channel is ahead of the other?if that makes since! It almost has a phase shift effect to it, but if I am not fast enough and it plays that loop too long?I can't make it stop with out rebooting! I have not had any other problems so far and this has only happened in the Creative Media Source Player, but I have not tried Windows Media Player in a while!

    Just try another player st.
    If same issues happens, then reinstall directx (latest), audiocodecs (pack like k-lite, ACE), creative drivers/software. Maybe SP2 reinstallation too.
    Also check all audio settings (SR, Bitdepth, effects, buffers, ...) you have there (creative control panels (and windows panels too)).
    You can also check if
    - any hardware conflicts/IRQ sharing(s) there
    - onboard audio is disabled and uninstalled (drivers)
    - remains from Audigy installation (drivers, dll's, etc.)

  • Help! Having problem with ichat/video

    Hello
    Last week i bought a macbook and love it. Yesterday i was playing around with the camera and using the video effects ( changing the way i could look). Then a blue screen flashed then it would happen again few min later. Today, it happend again, but then a minute later it froze and quit ichat by itself. Whats the problem? Its weird, its just a random blue flash ( the whole macbook screen doesnt flash just the camera box.
    Heres what i do::: log onto to ichat, click on Video preview, then click on show video effetcs. So when im looking at the camera it flashes blue. then it would freeze then quit along with ichat.

    You have a set of conflicting widths:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li { width: 12em;}
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul { width: 8.2em;}
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li { width: 13.5em;}

        margin-bottom: 0;
        margin-left: 100%;
        position: absolute;
    So, to translate:
    All list items will be 12 ems wide
    First submenu list (ul) will be 8.2ems wide
    First submenu list items will be 13.5ems wide
    this supersedes the 12ems for all sub and sub-submenu list items
    Sub-submenu lists (ul) will hang off the right side (margin-left: 100%)
    Internet Explorer is interpreting #4 to mean at the right side of the ul (which is at 8.2em)
    Other browsers are interpreting #4 to mean at the right side of the li (which is at 13.5em)
    I believe that is what is happening on your menus.

  • I am having problems with 301 redirects being cached. How do I clear FF5's memory?

    I built some websites and never really thought about which redirect should be used when blocking someone from accessing a page requiring a login, so they were all 301's, by default. This has not been a problem until now. FF5 seems to cache this information and I can not access those pages anymore, even after successfully logging in. Clearing FF's cache does not seem to clear this information.

    If you simply clear your cache that should help solve the issue as long as you don't get more 301's.

  • Having problem with my FaceTime.

    Having problem with my Face Time.Can get through but cannot answer.The other party also cannot answer,keep on stating on other device.

    Hello,
    I too have had issues with this.
    We have several ipad minis in our family and version 7.1.1 has been installed in all devices, but still when I try to connect to my father (since the ios upgrade), the connection in facetime is always failing. Both ways. we make the facetime call, and once it is answered, it really doesn't work. It just keeps "connecting" until one of us refuses the call.
    I have followed every step of the troubleshoot that apple provided on this, and all should be ok. WI-FI and internet connection are great, but still, since the upgrade as it was working before, it's impossible to have facetime conversations.
    Apple seriously needs to review this as Facetime was actually the main reason we all got ipads on the first place. I may be also the main reason why we move on to something else.
    Best regards.

  • Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
    But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
    How are you adding the files to Compressor?
    In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

    Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
    1. SMC
    Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2. PRAM
    Follow the procedure below:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    command–option–P–R
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.

  • I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update.  Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before.  Help!  Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

    I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update.  The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing.  Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating!  I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help.   I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.

    As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
    Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
    Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.
