I just set up iCloud with my Mac and it unfortunately duplicated everything in my iCal database -- it looks like it even duplicated the calendar categories and picked random colors for them. Is this happening for anyone else? How can I fix this?
Yes, that works for iDevices. But the iCal on my Mac goes blank -- even though it supposedly syncs with iCloud.
Make backups in iCal with File>Export.. unless they are blank on iCal
Go to http://www.icloud.com and check to see if you calendar is there
Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck Calendars, then recheck calendars, Agree to Merge. This should put the iCloud calendars on your Mac's iCal.
I am having the same problem but My birthdays are all in double now and I don't know how to erase the duplicat Bdays?
Open iCal and click the Calendars button. You should see only one calendar marked Birthdays under Subscriptions in your calendar list. If there are two uncheck one.
I saw only one Bday checked.
My iPhone and iPad are syncing just fine. They contain all my appointments since before I upgraded. But my iMac's iCal is now blank -- except that when I add new events on my iPhone, they immediatedly appear on my iMac. My iMac isn't syncing any of the events that were originally on my iDevices. When I go to iCloud.com, the calendar there is empty as well. iCloud doesn't seem to be accepting the events that were on my iPhone before I upgraded the OS.
I was having the problem only on the iPad, and unchecking the "iCloud" calendar took care of it. I trust my Mac backup more.
I tried it but I don't get any message about merging anything. My "Calendar" events are all triplicate. Any other ideas?
I had horrific problems & spent many hours trying to untangle the mess, read and tried the suggested fixes and finally went to Apple Genius desk, they had no solutions... Finally I found the only thing worked was to DELETE iCloud from the various devices... THIS NOT EASY... It is embedded everywhere... Will take a couple of hours... When I finally eradicated it, my calendars and address books works great with no problems... It will be a while before I try iCloud again... It is Mobile Me with a new name... Sad to say...
That's what I did as well. iCloud is evil. Use Dropbox if you want to back stuff up.
