Hi Geoff,
The Spanning Sync preference pane is simply showing the calendars that
are reported to us by Apple Sync Services (for iCal). If you're
seeing duplicates, then Apple Sync Services is reported that there are
duplicates in iCal. You might try resetting Sync Services:
* Open iSync (in /Applications)
* Go to preferences
* Click Reset Sync History
* Try syncing again
The duplicates issue is something that's covered in the 'User's
Guide':
Copying & Pasting Events
Copying an event and then pasting it into the same calendar creates a
duplicate event. Even if you plan to change the pasted event, iCal
will probably sync the pasted event to other sync clients on the
computer (including Spanning Sync) before you've changed it. When this
happens, the pasted event can become incorrectly linked to the
existing event in Google Calendar. If you want to use one event as a
template for another, paste it into a new "scratch" calendar, make the
modifications, then move it back to the desired calendar.
Moving Events Between Calendars
In iCal, if you move an event from one calendar to another, the change
may not sync to Google. To work around this issue:
Select the event in iCal and press Command-X ("Cut").
Select the calendar to which you would like to move the event.
Press Command-V ("Paste").
Please let us know if you have any other questions or problems.
Thanks,
Byron
