Bored of every update duplicating contacts in Entourage

Okay, I'm bored with the fact that every time I install an update to I-Tunes or the I-Phone every contact in Entourage is duplicated, including holidays. I now have each day of Ramadan and every other religious or secular holiday showing up 5-6 times on both my laptop and my phone, and regular appointments/events at least twice.
The only way I have found to address this is to individually delete the extra listings, and I am thoroughly tired of doing this, especially since it has to be done so often. There MUST be a better way!
Please advise.

  • Where is the info tab on iTunes 11.0?  I need to update my contacts to my iPhone 5.

    I cannot update my contacts from Entourage to my iPhone using iTunes 11.0.  The online instructions refer to an "info tab" which does not appear on the new iTunes.  Help!

    this is hardly resolved. I do not see any info tab in itunes on the computer, on the iphone or on the site. I see no info tab at all anywhere. The so called settings is in the iphone and its not there. the gear that is normally settings (not labelled of course) has no item in the drop down as info. There is no devices next to the itunes store. There is a devices 2 items down under the itunes store, you open that drop down arrow and there is no info button.
    So where is this mysterious itunes button? It is getting very frustrating to come across solved help tickets that are not solved and short on info. Stating to look in itunes when there are several different itunes that are involved here does not help.

  • Sync Issue with iPhone Contacts and Entourage Contacts

    Curious, when I update my contacts from my iPhone 3G I would expect both Entourage Contacts and my MacBook Pro address book to eventually become fully sync'd.
    This is not the case...for example I have added a photo to one contact numerous times and it does eventually update my address book contact but at some point this photo is removed. I have sync services enabled in both Entourage and System Preferences but can't figure out where the conflict exists. I have a suspicion that it is Entourage since this - as of yet - has no idea what a MobileMe cloud is.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I am having some of the same issues and I think you are right about Entourage. Here is what I did for a temporary fix. I did a export, address archive from my address book, then I imported it back into my address book, overwriting my address in my address book, I now have 217 contacts in both my address book and iPhone. Apple has some issues with syncing and they need to get this fixed.

  • After installing latest update the contact photos don't show on incoming call

    After installing latest update the contact photos don't show on incoming call

    Possible iTunes issue:
    Try the following after adding photos.
    Go to file
    Then Home Sharing
    Select photos to share
    Click on All Photos already selected Do anyway
    When Apply turns black click on Apply
    Now go to Apple TV to see if photos there
    Or restart iTunes.
    Works for me every time photos do not appear on my Apple TV 3
    Hopefully will work for you.

  • EVERY UPDATE OF CREATIVE CLOUD FAILS!!!

    I Really am so pissed off now....I've been patience enough! This is probably the 10th time I have to contact the helpdesk to guide me trough this problem. Because I'm so tired of the problem I didn't use creative cloud for a month...
    This really sucks! Every time when there's a update of this creative cloud it won't update and I get fault code:50 Then I can't use the creative cloud anymore because it need to update. You can not imagine how frustrated I am because of this problem. WHY DON'T YOU FIX THIS?!?!?!

    Did that, done that, yes first time here, yes and again i had to contact
    support...

  • Duplicated contact cards without visible changes

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having duplicate entries in address book from time to time. This time I have 47 duplicated informations found. I can merge them and am out of dupes and out of trouble. But it comes back some time and I really liked to know what changes are done. I don't have 47 duplicated contact cards, maybe one or so. Can I see the changes somehow?
    Thanks.

    UPDATE:
    I made a vimdiff between the old card set and the one after the merge. I saw several of these items that disappeared:
    item2.URL:fb\://profile/1234567879
    item2.X-ABLabel:_$!<HomePage>!$_
    It seems the entries came in through the facebook sync app on iPhone. I also wondered why they are not clickable in address book on the Mac, just on the iPhone. Did they do something inappropriate? And why does address book recognise those entries as duplicates?
    Questions over questions.

  • How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

    How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

    I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
    I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
    I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
    I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

  • How can i update my contacts on the ipad and have it go to my iphone. I tried backing up on icloud but this doesn't work. yes i had them plugged in when i backed it up

    I want to update my contacts on my IPad and transfer it to my IPhone4. I tried backing up to ICloud (plugged in) but it didn't work.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Brilliant! That worked like a charm.
    I created a new User Account on one of my Macs and logged into it. I connected my iPhone to its iTunes and checked my iPhone's Sync Contacts option in iTunes. Since that account's address book was basically empty (two dummy contacts, one for Apple and one for this new user), I ended up with only those two Contacts on the phone. Then, going back to my real User account (which does not have syncing turned on in iTunes) the phone synced nicely with the MobileMe account and populated the phone with all the MobileMe contacts and groups.

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • How do i get my norton toolbar with firefox 21, it has all my user names and passwords. I have downloaded every update from Norton. Can I go back to 20?

    automatic update disables norton toolbar. it has all usernames and passwords saved in it. Every time Firefox updates it is not compatible with Norton Toolbar. When will this patch be available. If not in the next day, how do i go back to firefox 20 which is compatible

    The problem with Firefox updates is that before Comcast or Norton get their ducks in a row and get the Norton Toolbar working, there's another update from Firefox and we're back in the same boat.
    Why can't these people work together with every update? I realize the browser is free, but if you want us to use it, it would be nice to get everything ready to work properly with the Norton Toolbar prior to updates. Firefox is a great tool, as is the Norton Toolbar, but tools are no good if we don't have the right ones.

  • How can you update your contacts VCF file???

    I have been trying for days to update me VCF file to eliminate all of the extras that I don't want to see in my skype contacts. 
    I have created a new VCF file and just cannot figure out how to make it happen. I have tried to uninstall on my computer, delete the %appdata%\skype file, and then go through the Contacts>Advanced>Restore contacts from file but in the end, it just gives me the same list that I am trying to get rid of. What am I missing? What's the magic? 
    If I could actually just delete those outlook contacts that would be great too but YOU CANNOT! I have tried blocking and delete contacts but that just puts them to the end of the list. For crying out loud, I cannot be the only one that wants to update their contact list... 

    Anyone?

  • How do I update my contacts on my MacBook pro from my iPhone or iMac?

    my contacts on my MacBook pro are out of date. How do I update them from my iPhone or Imac?

    Hey there dgt11,
    It seems like you may have missed that section of the article I provided, so I will go ahead and highlight it for you:
    OS X Lion or later
    You can use these steps with Contacts on OS X Mountain Lion or later or Address Book on OS X Lion. After each step, check to see if the issue still exists.
    Make sure iCloud Contacts is on
    Choose Apple () > System Preferences, click iCloud, and select Contacts. 
    See which version of OS X you're using
    Make sure that you're using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Learn how to see which version of OS X you're using.
    Check your Internet connection
    Try to go to www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts won't update in Contacts or Address Book. Get help with your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Safari requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
    Check your account details
    Choose Apple () > System Preferences, and click iCloud. Make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    Refresh Contacts or Address Book
    If recent changes don't appear in Contacts or Address Book, try to refresh by quitting and reopening the app.
    Check your settings
    Make sure that the contacts are syncing through iCloud and not through a third-party, such as Google or Yahoo. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
    Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
    Click All [iCloud Account Name] in the left sidebar.
    Search for the contact that wasn't syncing properly.
    If the contact isn't visible, then the contact exists in a third-party account, not iCloud.
    You can import the contact from a third-party account into iCloud.
    If recent changes to contacts on OS X don't appear on your other devices and you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo), make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
    Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
    Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
    On the General tab, make sure that your iCloud account is the default.
    After setting up iCloud Contacts, you might need to quit and reopen Contacts or Address Book on your Mac. Then make sure that you set up your account correctly in Contacts or Address Book:
    Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
    Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
    Click Accounts.
    Make sure that your iCloud account has the correct name in the Apple ID field.
    Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
    Quit Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
    Choose Apple () > System Preferences and click iCloud.
    Deselect Contacts.
    Click Keep Contacts.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Select Contacts.
    Open Contacts (or Address Book).
    Restart your computer
    Restart your computer and check the issue.
