Can't delete cards address book, multiple calendar entries

So far, it's been wonderful to have my information sync across three computers, with two exceptions:
1.     I can't delete an old contact in icloud.  If I delete on one computer, it pops right back up.  I've tried logging onto the icloud site itself, but I can't find a way to delete cards online, just modify the cards a bit.
2.     My calendar was beautifully set up on one computer, and when I turned on icloud on that computer (thinking it would override the calendars on the other two computers), it added multiple entries for every birthday, and some appointments.
Help!

Can you try this.
In all contacts click the first card, scroll down to  the last entry and shift click it.
From the Edit menu select  "Delete Cards".
If it works you will lose all cards, so be careful.

  • How can I delete my address book data

    Running Lion. I've read in several post that the data file is in home folder/library/application support/AddressBook.
    To test this I set up a temporary user account, added a few contacts to the address book, quit the application, deleted the entire AddressBook folder and contents in home folder/library/application support/AddressBook, re-launched Address Book and the new contacts I just created are still there.
    I quit address book, deleted this same folder and contents again, this time also deleted all address book preference files in library/preferences, re-launched address book and the new contacts are still there.
    Anyone know where the data file is really kept? In a brand new user account there aren't many files in home folder/library so it shouldn't be too hard to find but I sure can't seem to.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    PS. For those who want to know "why". I believe my daughter's Mac has a corrupt address book data file so I want to start over "fresh" but can't seem to locate where the true data file is.
    Thanks,

    "Perhaps for recovery or  sync, don't know"
    This was just a possible but the sync part of it really isn't possible in this case. In setting up a new temporary account on my Mac it would be an account without an iCloud or MobilMe account so there would be no syncing involved.
    Address Book data for each user's account will be stored only within that users account. The fake contacts I've created in the temporary user account certainly don't show up in any other account.
    Your behaviour "if I delete the files mentioned, there is absolutely nothing left." is exactly what I would expect. Just can't figure out (yet) what's going on, on my Mac because this expected behaviour is not happening.

  • How can I modify the address for a calendar entry?

    I am creating an entry in Calendar, and the address is
    106 Queens Road
    Brighton
    England
    BN1
    I need to add a floor to this address, before I can send the calendar invitation, but it's not possible to add this detail, or modify the details at all.

    <p>From the looks of it, the default parameter prompt screen isn&#39;t really fitting your requirements.  You have a number of requests for modification.</p><p>In your case I think the best thing to do would be to create your own parameter prompt screen.  You can use the SDK to create a page that works for all reports by inspecting the reports parameters before you set the values.</p><p>This would allow you the flexibility of easily meeting your customers requirements.</p><p>Point 1 - I&#39;m not sure.</p><p>Point 2 - There isn&#39;t much access to change the prompt screen.</p><p>Point 3 - I&#39;m not sure why you would want to change the formatting of the Date when you are already using a calendar object to get it.  It sounds like you might have a small mistake in the way you edited the javascript.</p><p>I really think you are probably better off creating your own prompt screen. <br /></p><p>Rob Horne<br /><a href="/blog/10">Rob&#39;s blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a></p>

  • ICloud Address Book and Calendar not syncing. Missing and duplicate entries. Help.

    I have duplicate entries in Address Book. I have missing entries on other devices. For calendar it just doesn't sync.
    What I've done to try to fix it:
    1) I signed out of all my devices from iCloud and MobileMe.
    2) I then deleted all the the cache files in Library and any iCloud folders I could
    3) I deleted all the address book and calendar entries on each device.
    4) Went back and deleted anything in Library and caches.
    5) I looked at iClould.com and confirmed they had entries in Address Book and Calendar.
    6) Signed back into iCloud on each device.
    7) All the devices then began to populate.
    Trouble began:
    1) Some Address Book entries are missing on devices.
    2) iClould has multiple entries for the very missing contacts! All cutting off the notes field at different places!
    3) It won't sync the missing contacts present on iCloud but not the device.
    Help.

    Solved it myself. What I did:
    1) I have four Lion OS and two iOS devices.
    2) I kept one computer with the complete address book I wanted to start with but disconnecting it from iCloud's Contact sync via Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud uncheck Contact Sync
    3) Logged into iCloud.com and deleted all the contacts and groups manually ( many keyboard shortcuts worked )
    4) On the main computer, using textedit, I replaced semicolons I was using to delimit items in the notes field with backslashes.
    5) Once I confirmed all the other computers and devices had no entries in Address Book, on the main computer I turned back on iCloud Contact syncing. It worked. Correct count of entries and no more breaking notes at the semicolons!
    6) Immediately all the other iCloud computers and devices updated to the correct notes! Finally.

  • Two address books and calendars?

    My employer gave me a Blackberry Curve 8310.  It is set up to sync email (wireless) with my employer's email server which is Lotus Notes.
    My personal address book and calander are on MS Outlook, which I used to sync hardwire with my personal desktop.
    Can I use two address books and calendars on the Curve 8310, one Lotus Notes for professional items and one MS based for personal items?
    TIA.  I hope this wasn't too elementary.

    Hi there!
    Ummmm...this does not sound like an issue regarding AppWorld...we will have the post moved over to the proper device forum so that the appropriate experts can have visibility to it:

  • Address book has same entries multiple times how can I go back to original cesium

    Address book has same entries multiple times how can I go back to original cesium

    After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
    They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
    Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

  • Can I sync Palm TI with native OS X.5 (Leopard) mail, address book, and calendar?

    It's too late for me to return the Palm and I hope I have not wasted my money.  Can I sync with the Mac mail, address book, and calendar?  Or must I switch over and use the Palm desktop software?  Thanks for any clues about how to work with my Mac and the Palm TI.

    You could try the missingsync software from www.markspace.com

  • Can't delete email address from Mail

    I keep sending emails to the wrong address as when I start typing a name Mail seems to bring up a quite random address for the recipient if there are several.
    Not only does it not default to the last address received from/sent to but it will enter an old address that has been deleted from Address Book.
    I can still see the deleted address in Mail when I click on the address button [tho it is well deleted in Address Book] and the only option in Mail seems to be to delete the whole card.
    Any suggestions most welcome,
    Colin

    Colin,
    Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.
    ;~)

  • How can I have 2 address books?

    Am new to Mac after microsoft. How can I have 2 address books, can it be done without opening another account?

    I wiped my device to fix my problem before I found this, but it seems like this may solve this issue.

    While in the Address Book press the Menu and than Options. Just type in RSET
    (capital letters) and you'll be able to wipe out all your Desktops where the
    Wireless synchronization is Not available. You can keep intact the last Desktop
    where the Wireless Synchronization is Yes.

  • Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use.  Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

    Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits  syncing only by iCloud.  Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes.  I don't want to use iCloud.  Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

    ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
    I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting  citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in  the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US  Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will  interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do  not want that either.
    I  chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have  relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can  no longer do that.
    Whoever  made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about  the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by  this.
    I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
    In the meantime - thanks for the work around

  • Sync Mac Address Book - multiple Google accounts

    I hope this is the right place for this question.
    I understand that you can sync the Mac Address Book with Google accounts, but is there a way to sync that Mac Address Book with MULTIPLE Google accounts.
    Our scenario is that we have one iMac as our main database, and want to sync it to mine, and my wifes Google account.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have found a program called Spanning Sync
    http://spanningsync.com/
    It allows for multiple Google syncing

  • When I launch address book, multiple windows open

    When I launch address book, multiple windows open, and I can't find a way to close them unless I do it one at a time.  I must have chosen at some point "open all contacts" or something like that, but am at a loss as to how to prevent this in the future. I've tried command +option+w, to no avail.  Ideas?  thanks!

    Untick this box:
    Or use alt/option + Cmd + Q to Quit and DIscard Windows.
    Regards.

  • How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

    Ok, I open a new message and click on the Address Book icon in the new message to find my contacts on the address book, I choose the group I am looking for and the group has people on it that I have already deleted from my address book! How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

    It is using the same database on disk. You may have to re-launch Mail.
