Duplicates/extra entries in iCal on Iphone not ICloud related

So I have been having this issue for a long time and I have been through all the trouble shooting and it always points back to settings and whatever to iCloud. This is not an iCloud issue as I turned it off a while ago and I have Snow Leopard Version 10.6.8 on my Mac which I believe doesn't hook up to iCloud at all (Am I correct here?). I have an Iphone 5 and it is updated to the new IOS but this has been happening prior to the update and it ALSO happened on my previous iphone 4 and to my Ipad. I have finally deduced all the extra entries showing up on my phone are from any change I made to an entry on my iCal on my computer. For example: If I click on my Ical on my computer to make a new entry and deleted it, a new entry shows up on my iphone calendar for that event even though I deleted it from my computer. OR if I made a change to an event, it would show up on my iphone as two different events. The original way I entered the event and then another event on my phone with the change. (Same thing when I plug in my Ipad, makes all these crazy entried). I really need my calendar to work. This is ridiculous. Is anyone else having this issue or can someone PLEASE help me fix this???????

Hi kim standley,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would first try resetting SyncServices as described here:


Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder

If the issue persists after that, I'd move on to this article:


Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing

Cheers,

Thank you ariel!!!


I've had similar problems to those of kim for almost a year now. Many events would duplicate and/or repeat in iCal on iPhone (3, 4, & 5!!) even though they didn't repeat in iCal on MacBook Pro. Following your advice the first link didn't work but the third one did! Beautiful - I'm excited to use my mobile iCal the way it was designed to be used.



Thanks again.
