  1. Duplicate holidays displaying in the calendar, both on the calendar app and on outlook.live.com


    Every U.S. holiday gets listed twice. How do I stop it from showing duplicate entries for holidays?


    I've seen it said that this can happen if the mail app has more than one email account synced, but I assume it's talking about more than one Microsoft account.


    In the Mail app, I do have two email accounts, but only one of them is a Microsoft account, the other is my email account from my own domain. I certainly don't want to stop Mail from syncing my own domain's email.


    The image with the white background is from outlook.live.com, and the image with the dark background is from the Calendar app.


    Any ideas on how to stop it from showing duplicate entries?


    Thanks.

    Calendar app showing duplicate calendars

    Starting this morning I noticed that the Calendar app was showing duplicate calendars. Normally I have three calendars which are Calendar, Birthdays, and US holidays, but now I have two of each. Anyone else seen this? How to delete/remove the duplicate calendars? As a side note Outlook.com>Calendar shows just the normal three. I have the duplicate calendars on both my laptops. So far I have tried deleting and reinstalling my MS account in Calendar. I have remove and reinstalled Mail and Calendar app. I restored an image from last week and initially they were only the three normal ones, but I guess it synced and now I have all six once again. I signed out into a local account and back to MS account. I spent an hour in a chat with Microsoft Support which is always a treat. So far there has not been a solution. I think it must be a MS server side issue, but I cannot do any thing about that. Maybe some MS maintenance has gone rogue. Your suggestions are welcomed.

    Holiday Calendar

    Here is the list of holiday calendars you can add to your Windows Live account. Choose a country (and language if applicable) and you will be taken
    to that calendar. On the top-left of the calendar is "subscribe to this calendar". Click this and the calendar will be added to your Windows Live account. The next time the phone syncs with Windows Live, the option for Holiday calendars will appear.

    US Holiday Calendar

    The US Holidays Calendar and Birthdays calendars that are in Windows Live are calendars that you subscribe to and so they are separate, secondary calendar. Windows Phone only syncs to the Windows Live primary calendar. So to get these items synced over
    to your phone, you'd need to import this data into your Windows Live primary calendar.

    • If you use the Outlook Connector to sync data from Outlook on your desktop computer, you can get this data in your Outlook Calendar and then it will be synced to your Windows Live calendar. To add Holidays to your Outlook calendar, open up Outlook on your
      computer, select Tools > Options > Preferences tab > Calendar Options > Add Holidays.
    • To add birthdays to your Outlook calendar, just add the birthdays for your contacts in the birthday field. Go to Contacts and select a contact for whom you've got a birthday. Select Details and input the Birthday in the Birthday field. [For some reason
      I could never figure out, I kept getting duplicate birthdays for people, so I deleted all the birthdays in this field and just set birthdays up as recurring all day events.]
