Blackberry Q10 - Deleting Duplicates in Contacts Folder

Hello.
I have a Blackberry Q10.  In performing my first sync with my Blackberry Curve 9330, I ended up with many duplicate entries in my Q10 contacts file.  Is there a quick and easy way to eliminate these duplicate entries?
Thank you for your help. 

It is pretty easy. Restore all of the contacts to your phone. Change the contact storage to google. Log into Gmail and you can either merge or eliminate duplicates, leave your phone set to sync to google and never worry about it again.
with Verizon BUA or Cloud, you will run the risk of not all of your contacts being synced and or backed up to numbers within being mixed up to duplicates and triplicates.  Before you do anything though make sure they are actually duplicates as BUA/Cloud has a habit of making 3 contact entries for people with 3 numbers

  • Blackberry Q10 - Bluetooth Audio gone / Contacts not shown in HUB

    Dear Blacberry Community,
    I have some questions regarding my Blackberry Q10, that I use since not even a year.
    1. If I buy a mobile phone from a company that wants to be the star in the business world, why do I have to solve any issues with the help from other users? That the company that produces the product is not able to fix it themselves may be part of the problems...
    2. After my last recovery action the phone does not show the name for some specific contacts in the Hub, though caller ID and contacts entry is ok. Still, the Hub only shows only the number.
    3. After an OS software update the phone occassionally failed to contact to my car via bluetooth to play audio files - The hands-free speakerphone always worked and works! But I used to play the MP3 files stored on my phone via bluetooth on the cars stereo system. Similar problem like this.
    Sometimes it works, sometimes the option Bluetooth Audio was not available in the cars built-in stereo.
    After finding no solution in the internet I decided to re-install the phone software. After recovering the phone (and loosing half of the contacts that magically got lost during the backup process, and picking up problem no.2) it worked ok - until it started again, getting worse day by day. Sometimes the music started, but on the phone, not on the car speaker.
    Then came the new software update to 10.2.1.2977.
    Instead of the anticipated fix this update did something unexpected. Now, the Bluetooth Audio function does not work at all, never. I already deleted the bluetooth connection with the car, and reinitiated it, but no change. Phone works, Audio doesn't.
    Which basically means that I do not use the audio function anymore. Which I consider a cool statement, such as driving a Mercedes S-Class, but you can't give the three blondes on the curbside a lift, because at the last inspection the Mercedes workshop accidently removed the rear bench - and then asked you to ask other Mercedes drivers to install it back in.
    Bluetooth Audio connection to bluetooth speakers works, though.
    Anybody a good idea? I'm reluctant to re-install the phone again, since it damaged as much as it fixed last time. And didn't last long.
    How about a software update that, for a change, fixes the problem, instead of creating it?
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same issues.
    My NEW Q10 will work fine for phone connection in my Hyundai Elantra GT(2013). It will connect via bluetooth to similarly enable speakers(Altec theJacket - not the XL) but NO AUDIO through the connected speakers!!! This is quite frustrating. The manual says it supports about a dozen 'profiles'. The Q10 supports APT-X technology, but not many speaker manufacturers support this. The Altec XL-Jacket is twice the price of theJacket. 
    When will BB fix the audio streaming problem? This is a major nuiscence!

  • Synchronizing Outlook Calendar and Contacts with Blackberry Q10

    I got a new Blackberry Q10 device and wanted to synchronize it with my Outlook calendar and contacts on my notebook. I installed Blackberry Link on the notebook. But in a pop down menu I was only allowed to choose from 2 pst-files which are not the correct ones. The one I want to choose is in another folder. But how can I select this one to synchronize with?
    Thanks for your help. And sorry for the silly question, but I am only a very normal user without any specific know how.
    Kind regards
    Malika

    Hey MalikaBauer,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Is the Microsoft Outlook profile that you're currently trying to access on an Microsoft Exchange server or is hosted at a different location?  If so, you will not be able to access that PST with BlackBerry Link.
    BlackBerry Link currently only supports local PST files.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Deleting duplicate contacts in iCloud

    Is there a way to delete a duplicate contact in iCloud and not delete the other contact?  I duplicated contacts in iCloud, not my PC.  They are duplicated on my iPhone, but not the PC.  When I delete one, the other is deleted and everything in the cloud and the original on my PC is deleted.

    I had exactly the same problem .... apple care too wasnt much of a help.  However i solved it and also informed them about it.
    Please follow exactly and let me know if it helps.
    First open icloud.com and sign it with your Apple id and password - you should see the contacts folder. 
    In the bottom left  you should the gear wheel, click on it.
    Click on one of the contact till its highlighted  blue, then click  cmd and A together  - this will highlight all the contacts.  Next use delete to delete all your contacts in the icloud (use the delete from the wheel gear)
    You should see you icloud empty, now click on the gear wheel again and then click on import vcards, [to do this
    make a folder on the desktop, highlight one contact in your contact list and them again press cmd and A - together to hightlight the whole list of contact. Copy to the folder on the desktop]  Now the vcards can be imported to the icloud.
    You have a fresh set of contacts on you icloud, which should be sent to all your devices related to your icloud account and password.
    This solved my problem, hope it solves your too.

  • Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

    Can anyone help with this?
    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.

  • How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

    How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
    Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
    Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
    There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

  • I have 8000  photos in my iPhoto library.  Many are duplicated in the "Pictures" folder in the Finder.  Is there an easy way to detect and delete duplicates in the "Pictures" folder?

    Anyone know how to detect and delete duplicate photo files that exist in the Pictures folder in the Finder that are also in the iPhoto library?

    There's no way to compare the photos in the library with those outside the library.  However, as long as you're running a "managed" library
    You can import batches of the photos, i.e by folder, into the library.  If the photo is already in the library you will be given this notice:
    Check that checkbox and clik on the Don't Import button.  When that folder is finished importing (or not) delete it and go to the next.
    If you need to check for duplicates in the library you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

  • Deleting Duplicate Contact Group

    So... I sync'd my contacts "from my mac" while I was already syncing with MobileMe, and now I have duplicates of all my contacts, and as such I would like to delete the "All from My Mac" group.
    In searching for a solution, I found various older posts all of which basically said that you cannot delete an entire contact group on an iPhone. But as the most recent post I found was 6 months old, I am wondering if anybody out there has any new insight they can provide to solve this mildly annoying situation?
    Lance.

    To get rid of the duplicate contacts caused by syncing with both MobileMe and your computer:
    1. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > MobileMe account > Contacts > "OFF"
    2. You will be asked what you want to do with previously synced contacts - select "Delete from my iPhone".
    3. Connect your phone to iTunes, go to device page, info tab and disable sync contacts.
    4. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > MobileMe acct > Contacts > "ON"
    5. You will then get message: "There are existing contacts synced with your Mac. Would you like to merge them with your MobileMe account?" Choose "Do not merge."
    6. You will then be asked: "What would you like to do with the existing contacts on your iPhone?" Choose "Delete."
    7. In a couple of minutes your phone will sync back your contacts from MobliMe, without the duplicate copy from your computer.
    If you also have duplicate Calendar entries, do the same process with calendars - can be done at the same time.

  • Syncing contacts merge/delete/duplicate

    Hello,
    I am syncing an iPad and 2 iPhones with one user on our macbook. We have roughly 1500 contacts which constantly get edited/deleted/added. Now I was told at the apple store that when syncing the newest version of the contact will be the one that's kept. However that's not the case, in fact there is no "real pattern" on what happens when synced.
    If a contact gets deleted on one of the 4 devicde (iPad, mac or 2 iPhones) it will always return when the other devices sync, if we edit a contact it will most times duplicate the contact and we now have 2 or 3 versions of it and WORST of all it will merge contacts which are not to be merged (let's say we have 2 Simons, 1 with just a number and 1 with more info like email, address and birthday) it will just add the other contacts number to the excitisting contact and delete the second.
    What's happening? What am I doing wrong? How can it be fixed?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book service.
    To my knowledge, there is no option to do this in Outlook itself. Depending on the service you use, there might be a de-duplication feature available.
    If you want, you can try connex.io. Our app can automatically de-duplicate, complete and clean your contacts for you and sync them with many devices (including Outlook). If you want to check it out: https://connex.io/tour-1-what-does-connexio-do or if you need more help you can mail me: [email protected]
    Good luck!
