First off I'm no expert. Your mission, Phil, should you choose to accept it....
What I'd try is backing up Calendar on iMac. De-linking iCloud but don't delete. Then after you've done that it should be safe to delete everything off the iMac (having saved your backup to desktop or somewhere). Check icloud to ensure no duplicates there. If there are, sort them out (maybe on the ipad). Then relink (ie set up iCloud for calendars again) on the iMac. iCloud syncs with calendar and with any luck you are cooking with your own choice of fuel. Then if all is actually well you can trash the backed up calendar file. But I am not an expert! I suspect you are not alone so you might like to remember that GIYF. Good luck!

My iPad diary lost its duplicates when I switched off iTunes syncing. It's not fixed the "local" iMac though (where iTunes is running) and the vast majority of diary entries are made. The diary there presumably got its duplicates from iCloud (which in turn came from iTunes), but how do I now get rid of those? "Curiouser and curiouser", said Alice – although I suspect her language would have been a little more extreme should she have been wrestling with iCould.

Good way to get loads of duplicated duplicates in a multitude of duplicated calendars...

I might have known. I've just upgraded my old iPhone 1 to an iPhone 4 so can now add it as an iCloud "client", and suddenly I have every entry in my calendar duplicated (and I'm far too busy already. I simply can't to go to every meeting twice). Can anybody suggest what I might have done wrong? Oh, and how to fix it?
