I am having a problem syncing my Outlook Calendar with my ipod, or anything
else for that matter and I wondering if it has anything to do with the fact
that I suddenly show 11 calendars in "my calendars". I have no idea where
they came from, or how to get rid of them. Any suggestions? When I try and
open them, the same calendar opens over and over again. I did apply a flight
itinerary from NWA to my calendar and I think that is when the additional
ones showed up, but now I can't find them to delete them.

are you using exchange server mailbox or pop3/imap/msn? do you get an error
if you try to delete newest one?

to quickly get rid of folders quickly, drag them into another folder that
will be deleted then delete it - this is faster than deleting each one
individually.

Diane, I do use a Pop3 exchange server but I guess I don't quite understand
your question. I haven't actually tried to delete any of the calendars
beacuse they are all the same and I am afraid to lose all my data....it is my
Bible for my boss and myself. If I lose the info, it would NOT be pretty!
Since I don't know where the "extra" calendars came from, I haven't deleted
anything. Do I have to open up all 11 individually to drag them to a file
for deletion? Nancy

Diane, I just discovered something else....when I try and delete the
calendars, it says that I can't, that it is a "special file" and special
files cannot be deleted. There MUST be a way to remove this stuff, I would
think....I would HOPE anyway. It is annoying.

Well, a new mail profile will ALWAYS clean that type of thing up.

I guess I know less than I thought I did....what does a new mail profile have
to do with my calendar? I am not using a web based calendar, just the one in
my outlook. I am not sharing it with anyone. I don't understand what mail
has to do with the appointments I enter into my outlook calendar. Maybe that
is my problem, I don't have a clue what I am doing! :-)

Everything.

I am not using a web based calendar, just the one in my outlook.

I never mentioned "web".

I am not sharing it with anyone.

I never implied you were.

I don't understand what mail has to do with the appointments
I enter into my outlook calendar. Maybe that is my problem, I don't
have a clue what I am doing! :-)

A mail profile is a series of keys in the Windows registry that keeps track
of what services are available to Outlook. Those services include the
Personal Folders service (so Outlook can find your folders), the Outlook
Address Book service (so Outlook can turn Contact names into email
addresses), as well as others. You appear to have created more calendars or
PSTs (Personal Folders files) than you need. Try what Diane suggests first
and if you still have problems, post back.

this is what I wondered - that means at least one is set to be your default
calendar. Now to make sure I'm clear on the problem, are the 11 in one pst
or do you have multiple pst's showing?

If one pst, they are probably named calendar, calendar1, calendar2 etc. If
the names are identical, use the folder list view (ctrl+6) and see if you
have several sets of inboxes etc. This would mean your profile is corrupt
and you'll need to make a new profile. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/open_pst.htm if you need help reusing
your current pst.

If they are named calendar, calendar1 etc, only the last one (i.e.,
Calendar11) should error when you try to delete. Drag the others to the
deleted items folder or into one of the other calendar folders and delete
it. Because the sync software created them, each should have identical
events. also, restart outlook using the /resetfolders switch.
if you need help using switches:
