duplicates of calendar events

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.

You could try the Applescript, 'Delete iCal Duplicates'. You can download it from http://www.nhoj.co.uk (scroll to the bottom of the window).

I popped in here with the same issue- that script is the best thing I've seen so far to solve the problem- thanks for the info

I have had the same problem and think I have solved it. some of my calendar events kept duplicating on my treo 650 after syncing.

I went to isync and under devices chose reset all devices. after the next sync, all of the duplicates were gone.

good luck

Wonderful, thanks John!!

A couple things to point out from my own experience:

-For some reason, double-clicking on John's script opened it using PPC rather than Intel on my Macbook Pro. Dragging it to an already open Intel script editor did the trick.

-The process is slow and processor-intensive. I thought it was broken when I didn't see things happening after 10 minutes of ~95% processor useage. Then I watched the calendar more closely, and sure enough, one by one the duplicates disappared. Not a knock on John's script- I'm sure this is just the way it has to work.

Thanks again for taking the time to share such a handy tool with everyone!

This script works wonderfully on events, but it doesn't seem to clean up duplicate To Do items. Any ideas for something that does?

Thanks!

John-
Does your script still work?? I ran it all morning and still have tons of duplicates.
