Symptoms

When moving an event from one calendar to another as follows:

  1. Launching the Calendar app on an iOS device that has a MobileMe account set up with at least two calendars (such as Home and Work).
  2. Selecting an event in a Home calendar.
  3. Moving the event from Home calendar to Work calendar.

You may see:

  • Calendar events duplicated on me.com/calendar or in other applications syncing your calendar data (such as iCal or Outlook).
  • Calendars out of sync on me.com/calendar or in other applications syncing your calendar data (such as iCal or Outlook).

Resolution

To prevent this from happening, avoid moving an event between calendars on an iOS device.
