Can I use Mackeeper to remove duplicate address book entries?

On my MacBook using OS 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.1, after syncing with iPad2 and iPod Touch I now have 3 and 4 copies of most Address Book entries ON MY MAC BOOK. Can I use Mackeeper to remove duplicates? No option to remove duplicates ever appeared during the sync process.

I suggest if you have MacKeeper install, that your first move be to uninstall it.
Here is a script to find duplicates in addressbook

Remove duplicate Address Book emails

I'm trying to write a script that walks through the currently selected Address Book entries, checks for duplicate email addresses, and removes any duplicates that it finds. Here's what I came up with:
<pre>tell application "Address Book"
set the_selection to selection
repeat with this_person in the_selection
set unique_emails to {}
set duplicate_emails to {}
repeat with this_email in every email of this_person
if the value of this_email is in unique_emails then
copy the contents of this_email to the end of duplicate_emails
else
copy the value of this_email to the end of unique_emails
end if
end repeat
repeat with this_email in duplicate_emails
remove this_email from this_person's emails
end repeat
end repeat
end tell</pre>
It seems like this should work, but when I try to run it, I get:
<pre>Address Book got an error: NSReceiversCantHandleCommandScriptError</pre>
I believe the first repeat clause is correct; the error comes in the call to remove. I just can't figure out how to remove the emails listed in duplicate_emails from Address Book. Any suggestions? TIA

Yes, that's because of the emails is reduced by one -every time- after the script encounters the second address. On the third encounter the index for this email address is 3, but the actual index of it is 2 -because the second one got deleted, is that make sense?
Yes, I'm just surprised that this is necessary. In some other programming languages (such as Java's collections API), keeping track of indices is not necessary because you can delete an element on the fly and the iterator object will adjust itself accordingly.
Anyway, even though the second repeat loop is not strictly necessary, I'd rather do that than have to deal with index-based loops. The second loop approach is easier to read and understand, I think.
I've posted the final version of the script here: http://vocaro.com/trevor/software/applescript/
Thank you for your help; I appreciate it!

Duplicate address book entries

After upgrade I have multiple address book entires for same contact (OSX 10.7.2). How do I delete duplicate entries?

One reason you may have duplicates is that you have each contact listed under your 'iCloud' account AND under your 'on my mac' account. Only contacts in the iCloud account will sync.
Click on the ribbon in the Address Book to reveal 'Users & Groups', and then by selecting each account on the left side you will see which contacts are in which account. (make sure nothing is typed in the search field)
If this is the reason you have duplicates you have two options of dealing with the situation. Either you can leave the duplicates alone and click on one account or the other before clicking on the ribbon again to limit what you see to that account when you return to the main part of your Address Book.
Or you can delete all the contacts from one account (usually the 'on my mac' account if you want to continue syncing with iCloud). Click on the account you want to delete contacts from on the left side of the Address Book and select the first contact in the list on the right, shift click the last contact to select all and delete.
Finally, You may want to check your default account is set correctly in the Address Book preferences.
OR
Go to users and groups and choose only your On My Mac Contacts to display.
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
Make sure your iCloud account is your default account (preferences > general).
Select All iCloud contacts from users and groups.
Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
Select All contacts in users and groups
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book

Duplicate address Book entries on iPod

Hi,
I posted this on the iSync and iPod forums and haven't gotten a response so I thought I'd post it here. So sorry for the extra posting but sometimes its difficult to know which fourm can be the best.
Hi,
Hope someone can tell me what I need to do to fix this.
I have a 3Gen iPod with my calander and contacts on it. The data on my iPod is the same as the data on my G4, except that the contacts on my iPod are duplicated. the data in address book is fine. There are a total of 483 cards in my address book on my G4 and 966 cards on my iPod.
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Bob

Fortunately, I was able to restore my Address Book using time machine. AFAIK, Until this is resolved, you have to do a complete replace from the Mac Address Book, rather than a two way sync. Bummer.

How Can i Use two Different Public IP Addresses no my DMZ with ASA Firewall.

How To Using Two Different Public IP Address on My DMZ with ASA 5520
Postado por jorge decimo decimo em 28/Jan/2013 5:51:28
Hi everyone out there.
can any one please help me regarding this situation that im looking for a solution
My old range of public ip address are finished, i mean (the 41.x.x.0 range)
So now i still need to have in my DMZ another two servers that will bring some new services.
Remember that those two server, will need to be accessable both from inside and from outside users (Internet users) as well.
So as i said, my old range of public ip address is finished and we asked the ISP to gives some additional public
ip address to address the need of the two new servers on DMZ. and the ISP gave us the range of 197.216.1.24/29
So my quation is, on reall time world (on the equipment) how can i Use two different public ip address on the same DMZ
on Cisco ASA 5520 v8??
How my configuration should look like?
I was told about implementing static nat with Sub Interfaces on both Router and ASA interface
Can someone please do give me a help with a practical config sample please. i can as well be reached at [email protected]
attached is my network diagram for a better understanding
I thank every body in advance
Jorge

Hi,
So looking at your picture you have the original public IP address range configured on the OUTSIDE and its used for NAT for different servers behind the ASA firewall.
Now you have gotten a new public IP address range from the ISP and want to get it into use.
How do you want to use this IP address range? You want to configure the public IP addresses directly on the servers or NAT them at the ASA and have private IP addresses on the actual servers (like it seems to be for the current server)?
To get the routing working naturally the only thing needed between your Router and Firewall would be to have a static route for the new public network range pointing towards your ASA OUTSIDE IP address. The routing between your Router and the ISP core could either be handled with Static Routing or Dynamic Routing.
So you dont really need to change the interface configuration between the Router and ASA at all. You just need a Static route pointing the new public IP address towards the ASA outside IP address.
Now when the routing is handled between the ISP - ISP/Your Router - Your Firewall, you can then consider how to use those IP addresses.
Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECTLY on the HOSTS behind the firewall?This would require you to either configure a new physical interface with the new public IP address range OR create a new subinterface with the new public IP addresses range AND then configure the LAN devices correspondingly to the chosen method on the firewall
Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECLTY on the ASA OUTSIDE as NAT IP addresses?This would require for you to only start configuring Static NAT for the new servers between the inside/dmz and outside interface of the ASA. The format would be no different from the previous NAT configuration other than for the different IP addresses ofcourse
Of the above ways
The first way is good because the actual hosts will have the public IP addresses. Therefore you wont run into problems with DNS when the LAN users are trying to access the server.
The second way is the one requiring the least amount of configurations/changes on the ASA. In this case though you might run into problem with DNS (to which I refer above) as the server actually has a private IP address but the public DNS might reply to the LAN hosts with a public IP address and therefore connections from LAN could fail. This is because LAN users cant connect to the servers OUTSIDE NAT IP address (unless you NAT the server to public IP address towards LAN also)
Hopefully the above was helpfull. Naturally ask more specific questions and I'll answer them. Hopefully I didnt miss something. But please ask more
I'm currently at Cisco Live! 2013 London so in the "worst case" I might be able to answer on the weekend at earliest.

How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2. I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use. how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases. If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions? On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.
<Email Edited By Host>

TheresaEW,
I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue.

HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

Can you use more than one email address on one account as to enable two or three devices to use imsg????

Can you use more than one email address on one account as to enable two or three devices to use imsg as when i add new email address's in settings it just says veriyfying and nothing happens????

If I read your question right, yes.
My pad has two e mail addresses, and my phone has a phone number as well as a e mail address. For each device you can add additional 'receive at' addresses in settings.
Note, when you add a new address, apple will send an e mail to that new address that you need to respond to, to show that it is a valid address. So look in the inbox of that e mail account for the verification e mail. Note further, some spam filters think that the verification e mail might be spam, so if it does not show up in your in box, look in any spam file you might have.
in my case, the verification e mail came within a few minutes of declaring the new address.
The multiple address are useful if you have more than one device under your apple id, and want to be able to send stuff to that particular device.

How to remove duplicate addresses from address book

My mac os x address book ( the one after clicking on "WRITE) shows a number of contacts several times and I can't delete the extra ones. When I right click them and hit delete and confirm, they just stay there highlighted.

I don't have a Mac and I've never used one, so this is somewhat hearsay.
For a long time, the Mac address book was read-only in Thunderbird. So to manage it, you'd have to access it via whatever tools OSX offers you for this.
ISTR that in a recent Thunderbird, this might have been fixed, so it is possible that it should now be able to edit and delete OSX address book entries from within Thunderbird.
Another possibility is that Thunderbird's own address book is corrupted. The usual symptom is that users can edit their Contacts, but when Thunderbird is closed and restarted, it reverts to the state it was in prior to the editing. That is, the changes weren't written to disk. I'm not confident this applies to you, as you don't seem able to make ''any'' changes.
As a check, if you drag a Contact from the OSX address book to one of Thunderbird's native address books, are you then able to edit the copy? (If you hold down control {command?} while dragging, it should make a copy. If it doesn't have write permission on the OSX address book, it will copy regardless, since it isn't permitted to delete the original in the OSX address book.)
One way to fix a corrupt address book is to export it and import to a new address book. Ideally you would also close Thunderbird, locate the broken address book file in Thunderbird's profile and delete it.
There is some advice [http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/11_Thunderbird_Settings_and_the_Profile.html here] about exporting and importing address books.

Duplicate Contact/Address Book entries on iPhone

why do I have duplicate contact and address books entries on my iPhone? I never had this problem until I upgraded to iCloud. I have an iPhone 4 and it is upgraded to the current OS.

If you are using Outlook 2011, make sure you have the latest service pack and update.
Make sure your Mac Book and all devices have the latest update.
If the Calendar on the Mac Book is correct go to step 3
Assuming Mac Book Calendar is correct, remove accounts from iPhone, iPad.
Reconnect account to iPhone, iPad account.
All calendars should now be in sync.
There are times when the Mail, Calendar, Contact application has been corrupted (Outlook 2011, Mac Mail, Entourage, etc). This will cause all kinda of issues on your devices. You have to repair the mail client first. In the case of Outlook you can delete the profile and recreate it. In Mac Mail you can rebuild (from Tools on the menu bar)

How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
Thanks

Hello Allan -
Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
Well - here is an interesting quandary:
I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
Any thoughts?
Dazed and confused
Theo
