Contacts' Last Names Duplicated on iPhone and iCloud
I find that from time to time the last names of the contacts in my iPhone 4s either migrate to the first name field, or are duplicated in the last name field. For example, "Jerry Rice" would be listed as "Jerry Rice, Rice." I have painstakingly corrected each contact but the issue is happening all over again. Help please!

Check that you don't have more than one account in your contacts, such as 'iCloud' and 'On My Phone'.

The Contacts app continually adds last names that I edit out. this happens across MacBook, iPhone, and iCloud. I have even fully deleted the contact and reentered. I am about to move to Android !! From posts it looks like this is a common problem, but I've never seen an explanation or fix from Apple. Does anyone know how to correct this?
It is asking if you want to delete all the iCloud contacts off your Mac (not in iCloud).
Delete them. If you keep them you will have duplicates when you turn it back on. You will have the copy you kept and another copy when they resync with iCloud -
My contacts and groups are not duplicated in iCloud but my groups are duplicated on iPhone and iPad. Any ideas on how to remove duplicate groups or why they are duplicating?

The number of contacts on my Macbook,iPhone and iCloud are all different. So when i tried to import contacts which i thick are called vCards from my address book on to my iCloud through the options menu on icloud a message came up saying "invalid vCards"? Any ideas? Really want to get this sorted if i could
CheersWelcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.
All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone. -
How do i get my contacts to sync with mac, iphone and iPad?
I am having troubel getting my contacts sync between the ipad, iphone and mac. Do you have any suggestions
If you already have an iCloud account, on the Mac, go to Contacts Menu Bar/Contacts/Preferences/Accounts/Select your iCloud account: Select "Enable this Account.
Tha same basic idea applies to the Contacts Preferences on the iPad and iPhone -

also to people who is thinking about my id, i'm named after my world of warcraft character :-)Can't be done.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -
how to get reading list in my all my devices and computer (window 7). i have installed ios 6 on iphone and icloud control panel on both PC's (home and office) but i dont get updated reading list on all my devices.
Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

I'm new to iPhone and iCloud... I have lots of pics on my iPhone but only some appear on my iPad, they're in Camera Roll on the phone but random ones only have come into Photos on the iPad - can anyone help? Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream. -
Does Outlook 2010 sync out to iPhone and iCloud?
Does Outlook 2010 support calendar entries to iCloud and iPhone? I made test entries on iPhone 4 and iCloud that sync. But entries on Outlook don't seem to sync on iPhone and iCloud. Outlook entries do sync to the iCloud calendar within Outlook but not out to the iPhone etc. Am I doing something wrong? Anyone have any info on this? Thank you!
I run Win7 but still have this problem of only syncing from outlook to icloud not the other way round
