Q: Duplicate birthdays at icloud.com
I have a problem with 2 of my birthday's from contacts.
I have searched for similar problems but not sure if they are the same, so hope someone can help.
I have my contact birthdays to display on my calendars and I have my calendars on icloud. On my iPhone and iPad all the birthdays are shown only once, which is great. Yet when I log into iCloud.com, 2 of those birthdays are dupliacted. This was puzzling as I said, on my iPhone/Pad they are only shown once. I tried deleting the birthday in the specific contacts. This only deleted the duplicate and left one entry. I then deleted the contacts completely thinking this would remove the birthday in calendar but it was still there. I added the contact back and put the birthdays back in and again, it created a duplicate entry on iCloud.com.
Now I don't know how to remove the 'stuck' entries as they don't seem to be linked to the contact entries they relate to. And of course I can't just delete them from iCloud.com.
Any suggestions as to how to remove the duplicates or even reset icloud.com to re-sync with my devices?
Thanks everyone in advance for your input.
P.S. I am a lowly Windows user so I can't do anything that will be specific to a mac.
Thanks.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
