Double Contacts and Calendar Entries
After setting up Mobileme and syncing my phone the first time, I found that all my contacts and calendar entries had been duplicated so that there were two identical entries of everything. Our own Chris Rawson set me straight on fixing this. If you disable calendar and contact syncing from the iPhone, all the information brought in from Mobileme will vanish. Next, re-enable them and you will be asked if you want to merge the contact and calendar information of what’s on the iPhone which was brought in by iTunes. You do. And in doing so, the problem will vanish. This tip is not just for iPhone 3G S owners, it’s also happened to previous iPhone users who updated to system 3.0.

It’s a easy fix and sorted the problem for me straight away, but typically I had tried a few other things including a full restore before this fix popped up in my RSS feed.

There are a few other tips and tricks included in the article so click away and read the full story from TUAW.

Safari 4 beta

February 26, 2009

So I’ve upgraded to the Safari 4 beta today.
After a little .plist editing to get it running with 1Password I’m loving the changes.

One thing thats a real improvement is the changes they have made when you open a new tab.
It no longer shows a blank page anymore, now you have a nice view of your top sites.

Heres an image of my top sites, not surprising ScreenCastsOnline & Mac20q are there, as well as one of my new favorite blogs at the moment FruitBytes.
