They’d be gone for a few minutes, but would quickly start showing up again. One of the most frustrating things about this issue is that deleting those extra events never helped. For one of my clients a few years ago, the problem only happened on his MacBook Air, not on the iMac he had in his office nor on his iPhone. Most of the time, the duplicates will only appear in one or two calendars, and only on one device. Some of these duplicates come from those Apple special calendars that you can subscribe to - U.S. In my case, I use both iCloud-synced calendars and Google calendars. There’s a way to fix that problem once and for all…īefore we delve into the fix, let’s talk about some of the situations that seem to cause this issue. Sometimes an event will be duplicated over and over, often filling a day on the calendar with copies of the same exact event. Check your device’s compatibility.There’s an odd little problem with the macOS Calendar app that I’ve run into a number of times, both personally and during my years as a Mac consultant. IMPORTANT! Please make sure SyncMate is compatible with the device or account you want to sync calendars from and offers iCal sync for it before deleting iCal events on Mac. If you synced your iCal on Mac with calendars on your device with SyncMate before (Android, Windows Mobile, Nokia S40, Google or Dropbox account, iOS devices, Sony PSP or SyncMate online storage) you can now sync them back to your Mac – just connect the device and choose one-way sync direction – from device to Mac.Īctually if you never synced with SyncMate before, but have a supported device or account with the same calendar events as you had on your Mac, you can sync them from device to Mac.Īnd as I mentioned before, SyncMate will do this for free, because iCal sync is available in SyncMate Free edition. Manually delete all calendars from iCal and they will be automatically deleted from iCloud.ģ. Please read carefully before implementing:ġ. However SyncMate users can solve this issue for absolutely FREEīUT THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU SYNCED YOUR CALENDARS BEFORE AND HAVE IDENTICAL EVENTS ON THE DEVICE SUPPORTED BY SYNCMATE. But let’s face the truth, we back up our data not as often as we should have. Of course, if you have backed up your iCal data previously, restoring them on Mac is not a problem. So what to do if you no longer want to store private calendars in iCloud and want them back on your Mac or to sync them with your Android device, or other? iCloud doesn’t offer you to keep events on Mac, but offers you to cancel disabling or delete iCal events! If you choose to delete events, they will be automatically deleted from your Mac (Even though they will be still stored in iCloud). If you need to disable iCloud for Address Book and move contacts from iCloud to a Mac, just choose “Keep contacts” option.īut when it comes to disabling iCloud for iCal and moving events back to your Mac – there is a problem. When disabling iCloud for Address Book, you are offered to keep contacts on Mac, delete contacts or cancel disabling process. If you do not want to use iCloud any longer you can just disable it or uncheck iCloud for definite Mac apps – iCal, Address Book, and so on. Those of you who have already used iCloud know that contacts and calendar events are transferred to iCloud from your Mac automatically and are no longer placed on your Mac: they are transferred to iCloud once you enable it.
