Duplicate contact entries but not on iCloud...

Hi all! First of all I want to thank all the veterans out there (a day early) for your service....
I am running Mavericks on my MacBook Pro. I have duplicate entries in my Contacts. I got rid of some I guess by choosing Look for Duplicates within the app but it looks like they are all still there! I checked my iCloud account and that is fine. So what's the tip to get rid of those pesky duplicates in Contacts on my Mac??? Thank you! Judy

Hello Judy,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicate contacts.  I recommend reviewing the following article to resolve the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Duplicate calendar entries - but not related to any kind of sync

    I went on holiday for 3 weeks and during that time my iPod touch discharged completely. When I came back and charged it up again I saw that it had reset its date back to what I presume is the factory default of 01 January 1970. I set the date and time to the current date and time - and then discovered that all my MONTHLY and YEARLY repeating calendar entries (but not the WEEKLY ones) have all been duplicated. This is not the result of any kind of sync up since (following a complete system rebuild following a virus attack) I have not yet reinstalled iTunes on my PC and I have not knowingly synced with Outlook because I almost never use it. If I delete an entry that has been duplicated then BOTH entries are deleted. Has anyone seen this behaviour and can tell me how I can remove the duplicate entries? I have looked for posts relating to duplicate calendar entries but they all deal with syncing-related problems whereas mine is not. Thanks.

    I have a similar issue. I bought an ipod touch last week and today I synced my entourage contacts, and address book. The address book entries are fine, but I have duplicates on my calendar. Now, its not duplicating per day, its duplicating the previous or next day. For instance, I have a birthday listed for today, it will also show for yesterday or tomorrow. What is causing this? I've checked the calendar on entourage and ical and both show correctly. (ical copies items from entourage)

  • Duplicate contacts on iphone 4s but not on icloud

    Go into settings-mail make sure only one account is syncing contacts in my case it's iCloud turn off contact syncing hit delete what's on iPhone then make sure no contacts are listed under contacts then go back and turn it on.

  • Stupid icloud sign in box says my id is a valid apple id but not an icloud id!  after changing my password it still won't let me sign in, why?

    I finally got tired of updating iTunes and saying no to iCloud.  Stupid me apparently.  Now I'm Faced with a sign in box for iCloud that says my id is a valid Apple id but NOT an iCloud id.  Everything I look at says that the id should work for both.  Well, it's not for me and I am regretting having installed iCloud.  If I can't sign in, or find out how to, I am going to remove iCloud and will never have anything to do with it again as it will be an obviously unusable program.  Anyone know how to fix the stupid thing? 
    OK.  I finally got a new screen that says I have to use my apple id to set up iCloud on a device..I don't have any devices..only my PC, unless a Kindle counts.  Can anyone help here, please?

    Hi kjohns2001,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
    It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
    iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
    iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
    So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.
    Cheers,

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

  • 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.

    When I try to log in to iCloud I get a message that my Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account.How do I log in?

    Hi reswaikiki,
    Usually if it says your Apple ID is not an iCloud account, that means you have not yet enabled your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  So you did set it up correctly on your iPod touch?
    If not yet, please see Set up iCloud on all your devices.

    Music purchased from the iTunes Store is automatically available in iCloud.  This is "iTunes in the Cloud" and does not require an iCloud account.  The music is stored in the iTunes Store, not in a personal iCloud account.
    If you don't have any Apple devices you will not be able to create an account.  It wouldn't be any value to you anyway as it syncs data on you computer with your Apple devices. If you don't have any, there is nothing to sync.

    How do I get signed into Icloud when it says my apple id is valid but not an icloud acct?

    You will have to sign in to I cloud on any of the iOS device with version 5 or above  once with your Apple Id to use your Apple Id as I cloud account. So if you have an iPhone iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
    On your iOS device go to settings > I cloud and sign in and you should be able to use your Apple Id as an icloud Id.
