Can't get contacts to sync properly

In contacts on my iPhone, there are dozens of entries for the same name. Not every name but many of them. I have deleted the extra entries on my computer and synced the phone several times. No change.
I restored the phone. No change. I have selected "Replace information on this iPhone" for contacts. No change.
How can I get rid of these extra entries?

Did you already try to reset the Sync history in iSync/Settings on your Mac?

  • How can I get Mail to sync properly with Gmail?

    I'm finally getting around to setting up my Mail account. I had used it waaaay back in '08, since then I have gotten thousands upon thousands of emails, when Mail opens up it thinks these are all messages I have not read and I have literally something like 3K unread messages (and counting) is there a way I can set it up to read my Gmail account the way it is so I don't have to go through deleting all of these?
    One other question: I'd like to set up my work email as well, since right now its Outlook online and God how I hate Outlook Online any special settings to make this work?
    Thanks!

    You have not clarified if you are using the POP method or IMAP. From what I can figure, you may be using POP method.
    If you want mail synced across your devices, you need to set up all accounts as IMAP.
    There are excellent blogs and articles out there, just type 'setting up IMAP on mac' or something similar in search engine. here is a good one http://oreilly.com/pub/a/mac/2002/05/21/imap.html
    There will still be a one time sync process but the status of the messages will not be 'unread' by default as you say.

    Can't get contacts to sync on iPad from iPhone

    Thank you for your reply. I'm still not understanding why I can't get my contacts from my old 3G go to my new 4 without losing the 4.  The link you offered gave me this:
    We're sorry.

    Please return to the Apple Support homepage.
    I guess I have to start all over again to get my iphone 4 up and just enter my contacts one by one.    Just don't understand why this is all so complicated for us layman.  I've read through many many threads to this same issue and I have found I'm not the only one.

  • I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

    I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

  • I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly

    I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
    How Can I get this to work properly?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hey KoobeP,
    I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
    I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add.

  • Icloud to outlook 07 Address field on contacts not syncing properly

    Hi,
    I have an issue where the address field in contacts doesnt sync properly using icloud. It cuts the top line of the address when you view from outlook but looks fine on iphone.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Some further testing...
    Simple text edits to the contact on my iPhone seem to sync properly. But once I put in a new photo, that change and any subsequent ones do not get pushed to the cloud.

  • I can't get Firefox to sync my two computers. Going round in circles. Please help!

    I hvae gone through the process of syncing my two computers. I have seen, many times, the tab that tells me that my data is being uploaded in the background and that setup is complete. Nonetheless, nothing syncs. The two computers retain their separate states, nothing changes. I can't figurte out what I need to do in order to make sync work. I'm sure it's something simple, but I throw up my hands and ask this question.

    Please note that we are currently experiencing server issues with Sync. Our techies are working around the clock to fixing the issue and making sure that it works its best. The current option is to try to keep syncing and if you are able to get it to sync properly, we suggest not to sync more than once every 2 hours.
    Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

    You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.
