Double Calendar Entries when Syncing with MobileMe Cloud

I synced up my new iPhone the other day and all of my calendar entries are doubled up on it - two entries for each. It's been syncing with my MobileMe cloud for a few days now and continues to have this problem. Funny thing is, my Calendar app on my Mac does not sync up the double entries. It only shows one, as it should be. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

This happened to me too and I think it has to do with your phone showing your calendars from your MobileMe and then all of them again from your computer. Go to your Calendar on your iPhone and hit the "Calendars" button top left and it should give you options to select "All Calendars" or "From My Mac" or "MobileMe". I ended up having "All Calendars" selected and it showed both, Computer & MobileMe at the same time so it looked like I doubled everything.
Let me know if this works or if I screwed up on my syncing or preferences somehow.

All I can think to do is to wipe out all the data on the iPhone and start over. I even manually synced it again by connecting it to my Mac but that seems to have no effect.

Another thing that's bugging me is that my iPhone doesn't pick up smart groups from my contacts, only groups where I've dragged and dropped the names.

Yup, that did it. I've now got it set to only grab calendars from mobileme. The next time I sync with iTunes I'm going to try turning off Sync iCal calendars under the Info tab in iTunes. Seems like that might solve it for good. Seems funny that it would have this issue with calendars but not with contacts but I think you're right.
