Contacts creates duplicates and loses data

Contacts has been causing problems: I created a new entry; this created over 36,000 duplicates. I entered data into the Notes section; this seemed to save - but when I returned the following day, it had disappeared and reset to an earlier version. The biggest problem is that it loses new data and does not update. 
I also had to Force Quit in Activity Monitor an AddressBookSync app (I'm unsure of the specific name of the app), which had been hogging over 96% of CPU memory for over an hour and slowing everything else down. The core app and its supportive apps seem to have some fundamental bugs in them.
Can anyone please:
1. identify the likely causes
2. identify the likely solution, based on (1)
Many thanks.
PS I've an iMac and an Airbook, both running Mavericks.

Ah.. in that case you're referring to *.Mac Sync*, rather than iSync.
The *.Mac Sync* forum is here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
It's probably better to post in there as that's where the .Mac Sync experts are!

  • Creating streams and sensor data hub

    Hi all,
    I am working on the Getting Started example from OTN ( "HandsOnSession.pdf" )
    and in the step to create stream and sensor data hub, am having a problem.
    I am working with the Standalone SES v10.1.2 running on a Linux OS.
    While running this command at the Linux Terminal,
    sqlplus system/welcome1@orcl
    I get a -bash: sqlplus command not found error
    I am in the <filepath>/edge/sql $ when I execute it.But I observed that my Oracle edge server install folder doesnot have a sqlplus folder which I think is by default installed in the Oracle_Home folder. There is a sqlj folder though , but am not familiar much with sqlj.
    Could anyone advise on how to connect to the database and create he SDH tables.
    Also in the sqlplus system/welcome1@orcl command, could anyone confirm if the syntax is as below,
    sqlplus <username>/<password>@orcl
    where
    <username> = username used to install the Edge server install
    <password> = password used to install the Edge server install
    would appreciate your response,
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay!
    The EdgeServer doesn't have a full Oracle installation. Therefore a client tool such as sqlplus is not present. Install a Oracle Database on this machine (as I suspect you do not have a database yet) and use the sqlplus it comes with.

  • My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, Linda

    My ipad won't start up.  I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. I also recently successfully paired my ipad with a bluetooth keypad. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, L

    FYI, your iPad will charge much faster if you plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
    When doing the reset, as Jackkcc suggests, make sure you let go of both buttons fairly promptly after the apple image appears, then wait another 10 seconds or so for the iPad to start up.  Note that a reset does not alter any data or settings.

  • 'Show Mac Contacts' creates duplicates

    NOT SOLVED AS OF  - July 10, 2015 Does ANYONE know how to solve this issue:   Checking the 'Show Mac Contacts' in Skype Preferences creates duplicates of all my address book contacts.  I've searched the forums and there is a moderator who has offered a 'solution' to this on a similiar threads:http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Duplicate-Mac-contacts-in-Skype/td-p/2034871However many people, including myself, have responded that the problem has not been solved. Yet any similiar questions have been archived and this answer given as a solution. Anyone have a sloution??  Thanks for taking the time to read, and possibly offer a solution to all the users who are encountering this problem. :

    I am using Outlook 2007 on my PC.
    I am not using Mobile Me; rather I am running the sync on my PC using iTunes. The duplicates were on both my iPhone and my computer, but they didn't always appear to be identical. It is somewhat complicated by the fact that I use Plaxo to update my contacts folder(s) on my PC.
    I worked with Plaxo to combine all contacts folders, and then I went through each item and deleted all duplicates. Then I synced with my phone, and finally got it down to one unduplicated list. This was tedious, since I have over 1,000 contacts.
    Now I am getting ready to sync, and I am not sure what to check on the sync menu. It asks whether I want contacts added on the phone synced to my Collected Contacts folder. Why add it to a separate folder instead of my main contacts folder? Does this add a separate item that you then use to update the main folder?
    Thank you and sorry for all the questions.

  • ITunes won't stop creating duplicates and triplicates in my library!

    My issue is that iTunes is creating duplicates of my songs. Over and over and over again. I have the preferences set so that it is saving everything in one folder, etc. It still happens. In fact, not only are there duplicates, there are 4 and 5 copies of songs. I've gone and deleted the duplicates, and then when I go to play the remaining file out of the library, it says it can't find it.....it's really bizarre. At first it wasn't that big of a deal, but now I have several gigs of hard drive space taken up by duplicate songs. It's a nightmare.
    Here's some additional info about my setup; I hope this helps.
    Windows XP Home OS
    iTunes version 7.7 (was also happening with previous versions)
    I store all of my music on an external Maxtor USB hard drive
    I periodically sync my iPod classic
    I occasionally use Airtunes
    Please help! Anybody?!?!

    did you ever figure this one out? my album folders contain one set of duplicate music files in them. glad it's only one set of duplicates at this point, but that's still double the pain in the a**.
    i could spend an hour or two "fixing" this, but i dont want it to happen again...

  • Problem with Create PDF and linked data

    Using Acrobat X standard.
    I have a Word 2010 doc with links to Visio and Excel data. 
    When using the CreatePDF option from Word, I consistently get a prompt asking whether I want to update the linked data before creating pdf.  I would like to either (1) turn this prompt off or (2) -- less preferable -- have the linked data always update without prompting.
    Is thre a setting that would accomplish one of these two solutions?
    Thanks,
    Craig
    PS.  All settings in Word have been set such that data IS NOT updated when printing on a regular printer.

    You can print to Adobe PDF.

  • Create files and compare data

    I have an aplication that can recive data (an integer and string), it stores it in a datafile and adds the date and time.  However, I need that everytime a new set of data cames, it ctompares it with the rest of the data stored in the same file.  If it the integer (key)  is repeated, it should be stored in a different file if not, it should be stored there.  
    I been able to read and write data files in different vi, but I can't makean  application that does everything at the same time.  I will appreaciate any suggestions.   I'm new with LabView and there is a lot I dont know yet. 
    Thank you!!!!

    Thanks for your suggestion.  However, the main problem is not how to read and write together but how to compare the data.  I started by writing and reading vi becuase I wanted to insolate every part of my program, be sure it works and then build on top of it.   The complete application should do something like:
    --Open two files, one for new data, one for repeted data
    -- User enters data -> a key as integer and some string
    -- compare the new key with ALL the keys already stored in the file.
          -- if the file is empty or no key is found in the file, write the data in the file for new data
         -- If the key is repeted, write the data in the file for repeted data
    -- Keep doing this until the user stops the application.
    What I really need is to be able to compare the recent entered data to what was entered before.  I chose to save data in a datalog because it seemed the best solution and because I also needed to store the date and time.  However, if there is any other way to store the data and compare it, please let me know.  I tried arrays and clusters by themselves but it wasnt easy.  Datalogs worked fine storing data but now comparing is too hard because I dont know how to read the file, record by record while comparing it to the new data I just got.
    I hope this is a little bit clearer!

  • Created by and creation date default values on form

    Hi Friends,
    I am a form newbie. I am creating a simple form.
    I have non-display column/fields:
    a.) CREATED_BY - how do I put the default value of the user login ID upon inserting record?
    b.) CREATION_DATE - how do I put the SYSDATE upon inserting the record?
    c.) UPDATED_BY - how do I put the default value of the user login ID when updating the record?
    d.) UPDATE_DATE - how do I put the SYSDATE when updating the record?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi,
    In the PRE-INSERT trigger, write,
         :CREATED_BY    := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
         :CREATION_DATE := DATE;And in the PRE-UPDATE trigger, write,
         :UPDATED_BY  := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
         :UPDATE_DATE := DATE;Then your issue will be solved.

  • Syncing contacts creates duplicates

    I would be grateful for any help. I don't sync my iPhone 3GS as often as I would like because when I do, I end up with all my contacts being duplicated. What I want is for all new/edited/deleted entries on my PC to be appropriately adjusted on my iPhone, and all new/edited/deleted items on my iPhone to be appropriately adjusted on my PC. (It would be even better if it asked which version is the correct one.)
    When I sync, my entire contacts list ends up being duplicated, so I have 2 of almost everything.
    I don't understand the collected Contacts concept. At one point my collected contacts was a 90% duplicate of my Contacts folder.
    I am clearly doing something wrong. If anybody can help, that would be awesome.
    Thanks!

  • Photos from iPhoto showing duplicates and wrong dates. Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I have been battling my iphone and computer for the last few days trying to figure this one out. No luck. Now I turn to all of you.
    The problem is basically this: My iPhone photos app was showing duplicates of many photos taken in the last few months. They would literally be side by side. There were no edits, photostream is turned off... Those duplicates do NOT show up in iPhoto on my macbook.
    So I tried a few recommendations from some forums I read. I rebuilt the iPhoto database. I deleted the plist file for iPhoto. I restored my phone.
    Now, not only do I still have all of the duplicates, but I also have photos showing up severely out of date order. The thing that makes this obvious is that photos of my sonm, who was born in June, are showing up scattered through random months of the preceding year. I am sure other photos are now out of order as well. I only see this on my phone, and not in iPhoto.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Bret

    anyone?
    by the way, after some restoring, the duplicates are at least gone. Now the problem is simply that recent photos are showing up in months past, and in several past events on my iphone. This is in the photos app as well as iphoto. In iPhoto, I can check the info of one of those photos and it shows a....June date for example... but it shows up in the photo order back in february or march.
    If anyone has any thoughts on this it all it would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Hello I have updated my phone to ios6 but after that I lost my contacts , photos , videos and many datas please help me

    I have upgraded to ios6 after which I lost my contact numbers please help

    I am furious and super sad. I spent the entire day trying to recover my data after it told me to update my phone. I did update it and I have lost everything. It went into recovery mode and I tried it all. I almost bought the software mentioned above but because I did not get it to work on neither PC and MAC in demo mode, I was certain it would not work in full mode. I am pretty sure Apple corrupted my system while updating it therefore none of these tricks did work for me. I am trully upset, I am on parental leave and I had all my beautiful photos, videos on there are all gone.
    Reading all day on forums, this issue is more than common. It is exceptional that nothing is done on the company side to prevent it.
    Super sad. But there are lots of third party software that have been developed to help this serious issue. Too bad none of them worked for me.
    iphone is the only phone that does not allow anyone to select the photos right from the drive and get them. it has to go through this annoying itunes process to sync (and it has to be the right associated machine, the right itunes, it is super slow, etc.), therefore it is very common for people to loose their data because they just dont have time to go through this long annoying process regularly.

  • Create item and save data...

    Hi friends,
    [Apps R12]
    If I create an item through personalization on a screen ... and I set that it references to an attribute of an existing VO in the screen.. it retrieves the attribute content succesfully if it has values... But.. if I put a new value on it.. it is not saved on database...
    Do I need to do anything more?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    After creating the item , if set the view instance to ProjectBasicInfoVO and view attrinute = Attribute1.

  • SMSY contains duplicate and erroneous data

    Hi Gurus,
    I am having issues in Solution Manager SMSY after upgrading to EHP1.  I am seeing multiple, redundent systems and components.  For example, my APO production system shows 15 entries for the System and Java component entries.  The format of the entries is as follows:
    AP1
    AP10001
    AP10002
    AP10014
    They are all automatically generated.  I have tried updated my version of note 1172948 with the most recent versions of all SLM notes, but this does not fix the issue.  Has anyone else seen this issue?
    Justin

    Hi Justin,
    As you say you have already checked the Basic note 1172948, so kindly check the following notes and you may find the solution to this issue:
