Sync with MacBook & Mobile Me generates duplicate calendar appointments

[Wicked1]

Ok so I was syncing my Macbook and iPhone with Mobile Me, now everytime I sync it duplicates the calendar appointments multiple times on my MobileMe account, and gives me an error to either overwrite Macbook or MobileMe account stating there was an erro...


So annoying

I had this same problem and i found out it was because I had the time zones set differently on each device. Make sure you set the time zone the same on all your devices. That should fix the problem.

I sure would like to know why since I activated mobile me I have 100+ home calendars. All with duplicate entries.
Very annoying.

On your phone did you set "Time Zone" to "Automatically or manually to your location? I cant wait to get home and see what do I have on my iMac since having everything showing up twice is annoying as hell.

Time Zone was not it because all of mine are set to EDT New York, so I am now looking all my other options, if I find something I will be sure to post it here.

Time Zone is not working for me. However, the reason why I have double entry for all my events is because when I go to the all Calendars I can see that i have "From My Mac" and "MobileMe"so I am not sure which one should I use on my iPhone to make sure everything gets synced.

I changed my timezone, even tough it was technically correct, and I went from 263 calendars to 83. Why still 83 even though I specifically only checked 4 in the iPhone/iTunes sync box.
Perplexing.

OK there we go, this is the solution, or it was in my case, I am syncing thrugh MobileMe and it works, my problem was that I was syncing thriuhg iTunes and MObile me so i had to remove iTunes Sync and just go through MobileMe.
