Contacts appearing twice on iPhone but not on iMac

When I update my contacts on my iPhone 4S (with iCloud), the contacts appear twice (the same doesn't happen on my iMac). If I try to delete one contacts, it deletes both... The same happens also to the groups.
Can anyone help? I guess it must be something to do with syncing, but I don't know how to sort it.
Thanks!

Go to Settings>Mail, etc>iCloud>Delete account. It'll ask you if you want to keep Contacts, stored on your iPhone. Say no, then reinstate your iCloud account.
That should sort it out.

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone but not in my itunes?

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

Hi jpere041,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Regards,
Jeremy

Using mountain lion, why does it take so long for mail to show up? messages appear on my iphone but not on my iMac

Using mountain lion on iMac. Email appears on my iPhone but when I open mail on desktop the messages aren't there and take several minutes before they appear. Thoughts as to why this happens? Anyone else experiencing this too?

Thank you. Check for new msgs is set for every minute. However, I got your message on my iPhone and it still hasn't appeared on iMac.

Calendars and Contacts appearing twice on iPhone

Since upgrading to OS 3.0 on my iPhone 3G I am finding that all my iCal events are appearing twice in the Calendars app.
And when I do a spotlight search on the iPhone, I find that contacts are listed twice.
I am a mobileMe user, and use mobile Me to sync my info to the phone over the air, rather than syncing calendars and contacts via iTunes.
Is anyone else having this info aear twice? Any ideas on how I can get the duplicate info to disappear?

Do you have MobileMe? This occurs if you sync Calendar with your Mac iCal AND MobileMe, with both having the same listings. You get duplicates with Contacts for the same reason. If you open Calendar and touch the left arrow to show "Calanders" you'll find 2 copies, merged in "All"
To get rid of the duplicates:
1. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders > Accounts > MobileMe > Calendars > Off
You'll get a warning: "There are existing calenders synced with your Mac. Would you like to merge them with your MobileMe account?" Choose "Do not Merge". You then are asked what to do with the existing calenders on your phone - select "Delete."
2. Connect your phone to iTunes and go to the "info" tab of your device page and disable sync contacts with your Mac.
3. Settings > Mail.... > Accounts > MobileMe > Calendars > ON. It will take a few minutes to re-sync the calender without duplicates.
If you also have duplicates in Contacts, go though the same process.

TS4147 My contacts show on my iphone but not in my outlook.

Last week i noticed that I had mistakenly activated my icloud and realized no contact information was physically on my iphone. Looking at the information on the icloud showed that all my information resided there in full. I wanted to have my icloud shut off and to backup on my computer. The contacts were manually pushed to my phone while the problem was investigated. I was called back the next day and walked through the steps necessary to allow my computer to be the source of backing up my data. I noticed, several days later, that I had duplicates of all my contacts. I manually deleted each duplicate entry on my I phone. In addition, I updated information on 8 entries. Now, only the eight entries that I updated show in my Outlook. However all contacts are correct on my iphone.
I have tried to turn on the icloud to allow my contacts to be synced. I even went into my icloud account to update the contact information was correct. My itunes states my contacts are synced via the icloud but the information is not populating the Outlook. I want to make sure this information shows so I can finally shut down my contacts via icloud and use just my computer.

I'd wait. iCloud (or parts of it) seems to be down today (check the other icloud forums for more posts on email problems). Perhaps your problem is due to the down servers. The day may come back - check for posts that claim iCloud is back up.

Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Functioning with iPhone But Not iPad

I recently purchased an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed". Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all. I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Google discontinued Exchange support for free Gmail accounts as of 30 January 2013. Devices that were already set up wiht it will continue to work. However, as you've discovered, attempts to set it up on a new device will not. You will need to set up the account as a regular Gmail account.
To sync your contacts, you need to add a CardDAV account as well:

Hello there Alex,
Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
Take care,
Sterling

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Mail downloads on old iMac and iPhone but not new iMac

Just bought a new iMac. Transferred all the settings. However if I download my email from my old iMac it won't show up on the new one unless I check it on the new machine first. Can I get all my mail accounts to download all my messages? ie I don't want messages to only be downloaded/available on the machine I happen to check mail on first. Checking my mail from the iPhone doesn't cause this problem. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Is this a Gmail account? If so, then the issue is with how Gmail works with POP access. If you using Gmail on more than one computer you should switch to IMAP.
If not Gmail, but if it is POP, then on all Macs check the settings in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced regarding leaving messages on the server.
More info, please.

Airport works for iphone but not for imac

Hi,
My Belkin router, airport express, and printer, all show that everything is fine and my iPhone is able to connect wirelessly to the network via the airport.
The problem is my computer registers the airport but can't find the network or the printer.
In system preferences/networks the airport says it is on but it has a yellow dot next to it. Under network name, my internet network doesn't appear.
At the moment I'm connecting through the ethernet and that has a green dot next to it. From this network pane I can turn the airport off and on again and it briefly registers the network, then it disappears again after about 20 seconds.
I've tried rebooting both the computer and the airport a number of times.
Can anyone help?

My computer and airport have been working fine since I bought my iMac a year ago. This morning the computer no longer recognises the network and printer.

Hello annadee. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I suggest powering-down the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a start to rule out any wireless conflicts between it and the wireless Belkin router.
With just the Belkin running, can your iMac now access the Internet connected by wireless to the Belkin?

Calendar entry syncs in to my iPhone but not my iPad

I have a really strange problem where a few calendar entries do not sync to my my iPad but are in my iPhone.
They are complex entries (Reoccurring, different time zones, and meeting invite) but they do appear in my iPhone but not iPad. The settings on both devices are identical, and I've tried to delete the calendar DB from the iPad and re-sync. Same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

OK, I've worked out that is it not syncing meeting requests that I have sent....any ideas?

ITunes Match doesn't work at times- in the same room (on Wifi) I will add a song to my playlist on the iMac- instantly it appears on my iPad but not on my iPhone 6plus

ITunes Match is extremely unpredictable- in the same room of my house on the same WiFi- all my devices are up to date (software wise). I will add a song on my iMac 27". To a playlist I created- Instantly the song shows in the playlist on my IPad Air2. But it does NOT show in my playlist on my iPhone 6plus- I reboot everything- even do a hard-wired sync- it just won't appear- sometimes- frustrated with the time I am wasting I just email (from my iMac) the song to myself so that I can play it on my iPhone 6Plus- I create a lot of music on my iMac using Logic Pro- and there are times I want to have the process (songs in the marking) available on my iPhone so I can play them while driving, etc., extremely frustrating as this issue is very new - had no problems for months and months but now I do- I rebooted everything (phone, etc.,) created a new play list-and then it appeared on the iPhone in the new playlist- BUT if I want to add a song to the new playlist- same situation- never appears on the iPhone but does appear on my iPad IMac and MacBook Pro- ITunes Match is turned on- I am on the same WiFi FAST network at my house- Any ideas ?

Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either- what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?

Does the contact you are sending the message to use an iPhone?
The iPhone will send and receive both iMessages and Text messages (SMS).
The iPad will only send and receive iMessages.
iPads cannot receive SMS text messages.
