Fixed: Duplicate Calendar Entries on Blackberry from Outlook for Mac

When we switched from standalone Microsoft Office products to Microsoft Office 365 for Business, the online SAAS version, we also switched to Microsoft Exchange.

Having sorted out Sync Services being blank and solved the problem of the contacts not sync'ing on Blackberry, the next problem that surfaced was duplicate calendar entries on the Blackberry.

When sync'ing with a Mac, if you're using Exchange, the Exchange calendar will sync with the Mac's Calendar, but unlike Contacts, the Blackberry Desktop Manager will detect both the Mac Calendar as well as the Exchange calendar. 

Therefore, do not select "All calendars".  Instead, choose "Selected Calendars", and leave either the Mac calendar or the Exchange calendar unticked.




How do you clear out the calendar without doing a full reset?  Use the Desktop Manager.  Click on "Clear Data" and clear the calendar only.


Then re-sync the calendar and voila, only one set of calendar entries.

The above worked with a Mac running Lion OS X 10.8.5.
