Google sync duplicating calendar
I have a few questions here.
First off, using a BB 9650 w/ Verizons latest os 6 on it.
Just switched back from android (way too long of a story to get into, but im glad to be back).
What I would like to do, is sync my calendar and contacts with google. I have 3 calendars in google that I want to sync and 4 others that would be nice to sync too (the 4 are other peoples that have been shared with me). I ran into an issue with google sync last night where it was giving me 4 copies of each event and putting them in my calendar, then it would copy a few contacts 6 or so times (only 2 or 3 contacts though). I decided to fix the contacts issue with using the BIS contact sync. However, the BIS calendar sync only seems to sync my personal calendar, not the other 2 and I'm not sure if that is possible with BIS.
When I use google sync (well, used google synce, a bit frightened to try again until i get some help) all of the calendars were plopped into my personal calendar making it relatively confusing to differentiate between each calendar. Is there any way to sync each calendar with it's respective color so it isn't just a blob of red appointments? Also any ideas as to why so many copies of my calendars were made? I didn't have BIS calendar selected.
So far since getting the duplicates I have, deleted all the duplicate events, contacts, etc. Uninstalled google sync and did a bat pull
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Solution that worked for me
An excerpt from google answers
The problem seems to lie with Blackberry sync and Google sync both trying to synchronize the calendar. Turn off the Blackberry sync by going to Calendar--> Options--> Select your account (the gmail address that you are synching with)--> Un-check 'Wireless Synchronization'. Once this is turned off, use Google sync.

Go into the calendar, set your view to be agenda, and then scroll up to the top of your calendar, highlight the first date listed and hit the menu key. Now choose "delete prior" and it will remove all of your calendar entries.
