Contacts list duplicated on phone

I have multiple entries on my iphone for contacts - it seems to be duplicated the address book some how. How do ensure only one list?

This can happen if you are trying to sync your contacts with both iCloud and iTunes. You need to choose one or the other. Either go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts to off, or in your iTunes sync settings uncheck Sync Contacts on the Info tab. (The same is true for Calendars.)

I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

You can't delete it. Look on all your screens and inside all your folders. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

How do I transfer the contact list from my phone to another on my family plan

Hello,
I have a Samsung Rogue as the primary phone on my account. My dad also has a phone on my plan, and just upgraded to the Accolade. He wants to add my contact list to his phone. Is there a way that I can transfer my list over to his phone?
Thanks.

I figured, why start a new thread?
Question: Is there a way to get the contact list from my old intensity phone?
that is:
because it went through the washing machine. ( I know!)
the screen doesn't work, but when I plug it into the USB port, the laptop recognizes it, and the call key doesn't work properly to call out, or obviously, anything else.
is there any way to get the contacts from the phone into the verizon backup assistant, or is there any other way? like taking it to the store?
thanks.
PS. I just got my new DroidX and would really like to have those contacts...ya know?

Pushing Contact list to IP Phones

Hi every one, i need to know that is there any way to push down a contact list to cisco ip phones via call manager or something else so users dont need to create contact list on their phone manually and alos is there a feature like auto entering some one name on ip phone and then phone auto complete the name for dialing( something like a feature that our cellphones contact list has) we are using CUCM 8.6 and also Cisco unity connection 8.X thanks

Hi,
you can look for some third party solutions that allows create any number of directories and even sync them with another systems (e.g. MS Exchange, LDAP, Gmail ...).
Also do not expect the auto complete there, searches allow to search for part of the contact - that is limitation of phone fetures (I suppose Cius is differend story ...). However you can find something like IntelliSearch - that allows you to pres a key once and this click represents each character on the key (somethink like T9 on mobile phones).
Check these:

How do I add a smaller contact list to my phone and eliminate my original?

My Mac Address Book has more than 1,000 contacts. When I first got my iPhone, I synced all of these contacts into the phone. Now I want to cut that list in half. So I made a new group on my Mac Address Book. I'd like to sync that list to the phone. But I'm afraid that I'll just wind up adding 500 to the already listed 1,000.
How do I bring the new smaller list to the phone, eliminate the larger list from the phone, but continue to sync contacts that I put on to the phone into my Mac desktop Address book?
Sorry if this is confusing.
Thanks!

Hello Elaine.
So I made a new group on my Mac Address Book. I'd like to sync that list to the phone. But I'm afraid that I'll just wind up adding 500 to the already listed 1,000.
Not true IF you use the following settings.
Under Sync Address Book Contacts, select Selected Groups.
Select this newly created Address Book Group only that contains 500 contacts in the Groups list and then sync.
When completed, the 500 contacts along with this single Group will be available on the iPhone only.
When adding a new contact to the iPhone's Address Book, you can add the new contact to the primary "All Contacts" Group or to the Group name that contains the 500 contacts transferred from your Mac.
Select the Group name to enter the contact in this Group which will be available in both - All Contacts and this Group name. If you enter a new contact in the primary All Contacts Group, it won't be available in the Group that contains the 500 contacts.
Syncing the iPhone will transfer any new contacts entered on the iPhone to your Address Book accordingly.

I want a seperate address book for contacts, and another contact list for the phone. Anyone?

Just got an iphone (yay!) and the icloud sync-ed my contact list form my first generation ipad. Hoever, I do not want this info in the contact list the phone accesses (2 different lists). Is there a way to keep them seperate? With the latest operating system (installed this morning) I can't see the contacts I manually entered into the phone unless I download from the cloud (which has EVERY contact in it-not just the manually entered conrtacts). Surely there must be ways to create groups, or different phone/contact lists to access?

till now i don't think thunderbird has multiple address books. but u can try rd party app but still i don't recommend this. If i 'll get any info about this i will definately tell you. sorry but if it won't helps.

HT5824 Somehow my yahoo messenger got joined with my contact list on my phone. I deleted them, and now they are gone from my messenger. Is there any way they are saved in the cloud for a period of time so I can recover them?

Somehow my yahoo messenger got linked to my phone contact list. I deleted them from my phone, and now I have lost them in messenger. Is it possible to retrieve them somehow?

Run App Store, authenticate with the AppleID used to register the Mac and check in the purchases tab. If you're entitled, the iLife apps should appear there for re-download.
No, borgeano, in this modern Lionized world physical install media are passé. Need to convince Apple's servers to cough up the goodies.

Backup assistant: Cannot find online contact list for 2ndary phone

My wife and I have LG8360's - flip phones - and I have the secondary line. I used backup assistant to back up our contact lists. I can find her's but not mine. Is there a trick at log in that I need to do? We are ditching these and going to smartphones so I would like to get this figured out.
Thanks!

If you haven't already done so, you need to create a separate log in for the secondary number. Completely log out of the account for the primary number.
Then click on REGISTER, and put in the secondary number; create a username and password for that number - and you should be good to go. If it tells you the # is already registered, then you are not completely logged out of the primary account.
Each number needs to have it's own log in to MyVerizon for Backup Assistant, and the Media Store for ringtones, etc.

Merging Sim card contact list from old phone with Outlook contact list

iPhone synched with Outlook Contacts during iTunes activation, subsequently transferred old phone contact list from SIM card to iPhone. I want to merge the two files, but synching operation tells me that transferred items will replace existing Outlook Contact list. Not what I want - - How can I merge the two files?

I don't use Windows but the following states that it will sync contacts with Outlook on Windows 8 via iCloud. You will need to go to Settings > iCloud on the phone at turn Contacts on and also download the iCoud control panel to your computer as described in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html

I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into a family members iPhone 4s. We have both backed up our phones to our computers. I don't want his contacts listed on the phone while I use it, just mine. How do I remove them off the iPhone 4s.

I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into my husbands iPhone 4s, which he is not using. We have both backed up our phones on to our own computers. I don't want his contacts left on the phone while I use it. How do I remove his info including music, photos etc from the iPhone 4s before I insert my own sim card.

You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

Why doesnt contact list show full phone numbers

Why doesnt full phone numbers show on iphone5

Hi,
What do you mean by "full numbers" ?
And compared to what ?
It sounds like that possibly your Contacts apps on iPhone and Mac are not syncing.
Make sure this is On in both places.

HT204150 Some of my contacts i entered via my laptop are not making it to my contacts list on my phone. Any advice?

some of the contacts i entered via my laptop did not make it to my iphone. Any suggestions?

Contacts have to be in the "iCloud" section of contacts. If they are in "On My iPhone" section, they do not sync to icloud.

Sharing Contact list between devices; no phone numbers appear on new device

Hello;
I share my Contact List across all my devices and share it with my wife's iPad. She just got a new iPhone and was able to get the Contact List on this phone as well, except that NO PHONE NUMBER APPEARS (only names and e mail addresses...); How do we fix this ?

It took me a couple of hours to understand the user ID concept... All sorted out...

Contact list duplication and more.

Thanks. Looked didn't find and I am a convert from Android.
First:
I have Gmail and an Exchange mail set up on my phone. I tidy up the contacts list by cloud (and phone); my contact list on the phone shows the changes.
Then I receive mail throughout the day and e-mail address from these emails have been added to my contacts. I do not want this.
Also, some contacts that I do NOT receive e-mail from and have deleted days ago will pop up in my contacts. Any help is appreciated.
Daver

Search for an app for your iPhone to delete the duplicated contacts. Like cleaner, or contact cleaner.
Google : cleaner iPhone contact. Good result.
Try :

HT204266 My apple ID for the App Store on my Iphone is incorrect. It is the email address of someone on my contact list and not me. How do I change the Apple ID Password on my Iphone to my Apple ID Password

When I go on the App Store App on my Iphone my Apple ID is not correct. It is the email address of someone on my contact list. How can I correct this and replace the incorrect Apple ID with my ID?

Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?
