Merge duplicate contacts in icloud

How do I merge duplicate contacts in i cloud?

My girlfriend had the same problem updating to iOS6. Firstly all the contacts disapeared from her iPhone. So I had to synchronize with her mac plugging in the iPhone to iTunes and checking info->synchronize contacts and info->advanced->contacts and press synchronize. So I got all the contacts back.
However I wanted the advantages of iCloud and tryed to synchronize with iCloud. After some changes on the configuration on the iPhone (I can not reproduce what I have done exactly) I ended up with double or even trippled contact entries.
So i did the following (make sure that all the contacts you like to have are on your mac book!):
1. I checked on www.icloud.com/contacts if the contacts are really doubled and they were!
2. then i disabled the iCloud contact sync in the settings on the iPhone and chose to delete all contacts.
3. then I deleted all the contacts on iCloud (lower left button -> first 'select all' and then 'delete')
4. then I synchronized the iPhone contacts with the Mac book over iTunes (checking info->synchronize contacts and info->advanced->contacts and press synchronize)
5. then I checked that all the contacts are only once on the iPhone
6. then I enabled the the iCloud contact sync in the settings on the iPhone
7. then I checked in www.icloud.com/contacts if the contacts are there only once.
I hope this helps you saving 2 hours in your life (as much as I spent last night to figure out what to do).
Have fun

Merging duplicate contacts

In Contacts, can you merge duplicate contacts with slightly different info?

Are you using iCloud to store your contacts? If so, then shut off contacts in your Mail, Contacts & Calendar settings for that account, delete them, then turn them back on. Also, verify what your "Default" account is in the same setings area for new contacts.
Careful with the Facebook app. It seems to want to rename everything in your contacts if you allow it. Be very afraid of this "feature". Luckily I had a recent backup on my laptop.

"merge duplicate contacts" - not working

I have roughly 3600 contacts, many of which are duplicate names. I ran 'merge duplicate contacts' and Address Book came back and advised there were 1500 duplicates (which seemed high but, hey). I said, yes, 'merge' and it went off for two to three minutes and finished. There was no change in the number of contacts! All dups were still there.
So I ran it again and Address Book found no duplicates, even though there are still as many as there were originally.
Mystified.

You simply wrote "is not working". Don't you think it is a bit too generic?
Do you get an Oracle error, data are not updated as expected?
We don't know what your problem is. Sorry.
Please follow Paul advice and check the FAQ which is explaining how to post a question.

Merge duplicate contacts

Hi there
I synced my new iphone with my outlook contacts and have also imported contacts from my SIM card. In some cases I now have duplicate contacts; one containing the email address for a contact (from outlook) and a second contact (for the same person) containing their phone number (from the SIM card). Is there a way of merging the information so that phone and email info for the same person is merged? Or do I have to go through and do it manually?
Thanks
Mary

Did you import the contacts from the SIM card after syncing your iPhone with Outlook?
If so, there lies your problem.
If you have synced your iPhone with Outlook again after importing the contacts from the SIM card and the contacts are duplicated in Outlook, Outlook should include a merge option for selected contact info - the Address Book on a Mac does. After merging the contacts with Outlook, follow this by a sync or to ensure the corrected contacts in Outlook are transferred to your iPhone, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone. Select Apply followed by a sync.

Duplicate contact merge/unify - Help!

When I purchased my new iPhone, the Verizon store transfered my contacts from my Droid X. Problem - my 3200 contacts turned into 12,000 contacts.... Each individual entry into each individual cell turned into a separate contact on the iPhone! I cannot find any way to merge duplicate contacts together. I have called Verizon, as well as Apple three times each...... - there Tech support, while VERY nice and helpful could not tell me how to make this happen. If I do it manually it will take years! Help!
Thank you....

i need help on resolving duplicate contacts after setting up icloud control panel.

You can delete the duplicates on icloud.com, or you can try using one of the apps that say they can identify and merge duplicate contacts. (If you have a Mac, you can do this by opening your contacts and going to Card>Look for Duplicates.)

Merge / Delete Duplicate Contacts in Outlook 2011 MAC

Hi,
I have too many duplicates contact in outlook 2011 MAC, is any can help how to remove/merge them.
Microsoft help not this section help.
Please help
Thanks

Hey
I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book service.
To my knowledge, there is no option to do this in Outlook itself. Depending on the service you use, there might be a de-duplication feature available.
If you want, you can try connex.io. Our app can automatically de-duplicate, complete and clean your contacts for you and sync them with many devices (including Outlook). If you want to check it out: https://connex.io/tour-1-what-does-connexio-do or if you need more help you can mail me: [email protected]
Good luck!

An alert pops up and asks if I want to merge my contacts with Yahoo. If I merge, will it add duplicates?

An alert pops up and asks if I want to merge my contacts with Yahoo.
If I merge, will it add duplicates, if there are some?
I don't want duplicates.
If it will add duplicates, how do I tell yahoo to quit asking me if I want to merge.

HT201269 how do I merge multiple duplicate contact entries with cell home and e-mail entries

how do I merge multiple duplicate contact entries with cell home and e-mail entries?

Try linking cards:
Open any contact you want to merge, tap on Edit and look at the bottom part of it. You'll find 'Link Cards' and from there you may select the contact you want to link with the one you're looking at. So if you have:
Contact 1: John A (job)
Contact 2: Business Name (who is also John A but you saved it as a different contact)
Contact 3: Something else that's also John A
You can link all three cards into one. If you choose to, you may unlink them at any time, just tap Edit and then the red circle. Your contacts won't be deleted, but they won't appear under the same ID anymore.

I have an iPhone 5. My data was transferred from a droid. I now have many duplicate contacts. I only need to sync with Outlook. How should I eliminate the dupes?

Then they did something incorrectly.
Confirm in the Contacts app that multiple Groups do not exist, it may be a simple matter of removing a single group.

How can I merge my contacts on iphone but keep the text msgs

I use my phone a lot for work and a lot of my correspondance is through text msgs. My best friend and I share the apple account and we have the same contacts so when I add it to the account my phone she does the same and we come up with duplicate contacts. We would like to be able to merge them and then create seperate apple id accounts so it doesnt happen again but we need to keep the text msgs.
Please help!
BTW...we cant update our ios either because of lack of room on our phone.

I suppose you have/had them on your iPhone, but do not have your iPhone with you now.
Did you ever sync the iPhone with iTunes, did you ever backed up the iPhone to iCloud?
