Contacts duplicated numerous times when syncing iPhone 4

Since updating to iOS5, when syncing my wife's iPhone 4, many of her contacts are duplicated numerous times.  She has Windows 7 and uses MS Outlook for contacts and calendar.  Contacts in her Outlook file are not duplicated.  I can manually delete the duplications, but the next sync repeats the duplications.  How do I stop this madness?

I have the same problem. Using an iPhone 3G.
Events made on the iPhone multiply every time the iPhone is synced with the Macbook. Events made in iCal on the Macbook pro do not seem to double up when synced with the iPhone.
When creating events on the iPhone I usually set the events to repeat every day (until i complete the event and then I delete it)
Hope some one can offer some insight.
using a Macbook Pro 5.1 2.66Ghz. OSX 10.6.6. 4GB Ram. 500GB HD.

  • HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    iMessages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Music library database index (but not the music itself)
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

  • Why the iPhone vibrates 2 times when the iPhone OS is starting?

    Someone know why the iPhone vibrates two times when the iPhone OS is starting (and the apple logo appears)
    In my case, this rare event occurs when a problem with an application (3rd party) force to iPhone to restart or when occurs a problem during the sync with iTunes. After this event, my iPhone never load (your OS) and the only way is the restore.

    Amazing how much trouble when can get into by taking shortcuts before we understand something... isn't it....
    Read the API and find out for yourself what events are triggered by a JButton......
    Remember thsi advices:
    1) Before using shorthand event handling, make absolutely sure that you understand the process back to front...
    2) Write your own event, listener and implementer in order to get a clearer picture...
    3) Until this is clear to you, always implement the appropriate listener and override the necessary methods....

  • Contacts duplicated several times

    I have different items from the Apple range (i.e. 3 workstation Imac, 1 Macbook pro, 1 Iphone 4 and 1 IPad). I have ticked ICloud on all of them and faoud all my contacts duplicated several times. Haw can I solve this synchonization problem?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check that the duplicates aren't just the same contacts in dfferent accounts, you might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book before adding, altering or deleting any contacts..

  • ITunes on PC does not crash when syncing IPhones but crashes halfway through IPad sync

    Itunes and Ipad on latest software iterations.
    When syncing IPhones all perform faultlessly. When I try to sync. my IPad ITunes crashes halfway through the process.
    For the last two weeks I have not been able to remove downloaded TV programmes via ITunes and have had to perform the removal via
    <Settings>General>Usage>Manage storage. One audiobook is not visible on ITunes and cannot be deleted by any method I have tried.
    I am storing all media on a WDCloud drive as I have over 1.3 TBytes of films, TV Programmes and audiobooks.
    I have tried repairing both ITunes and Quicktime to no avail.
    IOS8.1.2

    Hi Brendan
    Thanks for the reply.
    I noticed that the sync crashed at the point where it was downloading either Apps or Video (TV Progs). I tried a 'delete all media' reset yesterday. Problem still present and then I had no media or Apps other than some of the Apps as supplied on initial startup.
    Today I tried a different USB to Lightning lead and at one point I thought it was working with Wi-Fi sync but whilst it didn't crash, the Icons of the Apps that were present on the IPad before the problem occurred are in the same place as before but greyed out and the Apps obviously have not been loaded.
    Funnily enough I did a factory re-set just before you sent this so will post again if this works to help others. I believe this is going to be an IOS 8 problem like so many other IOS 8 problems I have found.
    Best wishes

    I am not familiar with the different software that you mentioned but as a
    first step I would check compatibility which is done as below:
    Get original operating system CD that was used to install Windows XP on the
    machine in your post. When Windows XP is inserted into CD ROM drive it
    normally will ask you to conduct compatibility check for the current
    installation. See what it says.

  • Keeping Contacts & Apps when syncing iPhone with new computer

    I just got a new netbook with Windows 7 Starter. I would like to transition from using my current work laptop to the netbook as the manager of my iPhone. When I try to sync my iPhone with the new computer it says that my iPhone's library is linked to another computer. It appears that all of my contacts and apps will be erased if I sync these items on the netbook.
    Does anyone know a way that I can keep this information without erasing? I already erased my music content from the iPhone. I foresee a real problem since this netbook doesn't have Outlook and all my contact information is in that format. I also don't want to have my apps all wiped out. Thanks for the help.

    iTunes content can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer, and photos can be transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first.
    No other content is touched or erased when doing so including iPhone contacts especially if you don't select to sync contacts with a supported application on a new computer.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. If you haven't activated the new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, you should do so before doing this.
    With Windows, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    If you don't have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available on the new computer, you will have Windows Contacts available. Before syncing contacts with Windows Contacts, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync with Windows Contacts, which you want to select.
    There is no Outlook format or Apple address book format with contacts. You can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 or with Windows Contacts on a PC, and sync contacts with Apple's address book on a Mac.
    Contact, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers. With two Windows computers, with two Macs, or with a Windows computer and a Mac.

  • Contacts and address book wiped out when syncing iphone

    HELP!! All my address book contacts on my computer and all my iphone contacts were wiped out after syncing. Sadly, I have never backed up. I've gotten as far as library>app support>address book, but the files are computer mumbo jumbo with bits and pieces of my old info thrown in. Is there any way to convert this to human speak??? Thanks,
    Desperately seeking my info back

    Contact info is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated if needed as the first step during the sync process - if any of the data on your iPhone that is included with the backup has changed since the last sync.
    If you haven't synced your iPhone again since the contact info was lost with the last sync, do not sync again and try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    If this restores your contact info, before syncing contact info with the Address Book on your Mac, enter one unique contact in the Address Book on your Mac. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This should provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info, which you want to select.
