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..

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.

Can you try syncing to google contacts again?
Do you mean that pix you took with the phone disappear after doing a sync?

Old bookmarks duplicated several times in new tab. iPad running slow

Too
many old bookmarks are duplicated in new tab. How do I remove. iPad runs very slow

Hi mmglr,
If I understand you correctly, when you open a new tab in Safari on your iPad, it actually opens up a bunch of tabs with content from your bookmarks, is that right?
You may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot.
First, I would try restarting the iPad -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -

HT201210 I can't restore my child's ipod touch due to itunes stating the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temp. unavailable which I have several times & tried the resolution steps on the error page & the ipod won't restore please

When I was updating my child's ipod touch with itunes....it put the ipod in recovery mode and said I would need to restore and then update....which was my only option to choose, so when I chose restore & update....after going thru it seemed the process, then a window came up that stated the ipod couldn't be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable and to try again. After trying this several times unsuccessfuly and going thru the steps on the help section, the ipod is still not able to restore & update, thus we can't access anything on our very new ipod touch and I am very frustrated, can't afford any Apple support tech time. PLEASE HELP!!

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- The Additional Information paragraph of
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Is there any other method so that I can contact Apple to get IMEI number ? since the phone was shyncronized several times in apple store / iCloud.

Hello community members, my iPhone has been stolen and I tried to contact police, they are asking for IMEI number of the phone. Unfortunately I could not read the IMEI number on the box due to moisture wiped out most of the number on it. I sacanned it in and enhanced, I'm still unable to read out the number. Is there any other method so that I can contact Apple to get IMEI number ? since the phone was shyncronized several times in apple store / iCloud.

If you backed up your iPhone in iTunes on your computer -
Open iTunes - Edit - Preferences - Devices - See Device Backups in the Window.
Hover mouse/curser on any backup. Read IMEI and Serial no. your of iPhone.

Select Device by clicking on the name

Sending the same email message several times to contacts. Turned off iCloud, but still sending message.

Sending the same email message several times to contacts. Turned off iCloud, but still sending message.
A user had synced all of his contacts from his computer and iPhone to his iCloud. Today, his iCloud sent out the same message 20 times to all recipients. We were able to transfer all calendar items and contacts back to his pc and then disable iCloud. However, it still sent out the messages. Any ideas?

It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Reset password several times still will not accept. can I contact by phone

Once again..... I have had to reset my account password several times and it still will not work. I am getting very frustrated as I have been a firefox user for several years, but have had problems with windows. For now, I am using a tablet until I can get back on windows. You must have a way of checking my account and get this fixed.. thank you Juanita Delapa

Hi juanpc
We can't do phone support unfortunately!
(not sure if you meant Firefox for Android or Firefox for Windows, please let us know and we'll try to help on the relevant system)
Since we can't read minds :-) we need more troubleshooting details to help you:
# What model of Android tablet or phone are you using? What version of Android are you using (e.g. Jellybean 4.1-4.3, Kitkat 4.4, Lollipop 5.0, 5.1, etc)?
# What version of Firefox for Android are you using? (please try the latest version which is currently FF37.0.1)
# What did you do exactly, what happened and what did you expect? (details please! in particular what steps did use to get to "I have had to reset my account password several times and it still will not work" and which "account" do you mean?)
Cheers!

I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.
