Duplicate contact from same company?

Is it possible to duplicate a contact from the same company for a new contact so that all I have to do is change the name and perhaps a phone number? I don't want to have to type from scratch all the info on several people when the only field different is the name. Outlook has had "New Contact from Same Company" for years. How come Apple doesn't have this feature for Address Book/Contacts???

Well, we'll, well, all operations are referring to the left part of the window and with a contact marked there, yes? So, highlight a contact in the left half, then Command-C and Command-V.
It works!

When usinf Mac Address Book and you have entered the information for one contact from a company, how can you duplicate the card so you can add another person from same company?

I'm afraid the LU suffix is a new one on me.
As long as you have all of the content in your library then that remove and sync warning shouldn't cause any loss of data, but it shouldn't be happening every time. It may pay to take the following steps to reset the connection between the two,
Backup device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.
Again, this assumes all content on the device is in your library. If that isn't the case see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device first.

Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

How do I effectively remove multiple duplicate contacts from S5?

How do I effectively remove multiple duplicate contacts from Samsung S5? Genius who sold me the phone duplicated ALL of my existing contacts.

Thank you for reaching back out to us, if your contacts are backed up by GMail, if you log in to your account on a PC, they should appear online under the Contacts tab. Try this also, if you go to Contacts>Settings icon(three vertical dots button) Settings>Contacts to Display> What options are selected? This screen will help you pick and choose what contacts list to display.

Duplicate Members From Same Dimension On Data Record

Hi guys, been a while but I'm back into problem land again. I got a SQL Server database with a load of records in it, some are NULL, and I use them to build a rules file called CGI_BUILD. When I run the rules file on the outline it builds fine with no errors but when it does the second part of loading the data, it kicks out an error file. The error that repeats over and over in the log is "\\ Duplicate Members From Same Dimension On Data Record". This seems to be the case for every record in the load file except for the second record. The only difference with that record is it has N/A for some of the columns instead of the regular "Retail" or "Finance" or whatever the other fields are.
I realize you have limited information here without screenshots but maybe you can help me get started on a solution. In my searching I found that some people have had this happen when the first record has an empty column in it but I can't rearrange them because there's a few columns that are empty for every record. They're there for add-ons later in the project. Any ideas?

To my outline, via SQL load, I added a new attribute dimension called Retail Region/Area:
-Retail Region/Area
--West Region : Region Manager
---Area1 : Area Manager
---Area2 : Area Manager
---Area3 : Area Manager
--East Region : Region Manager
--Factory Region : Region Manager
---Area1 : Area Manager
---Area2 : Area Manager
--Central Region : Region Manager
As you can see, it's split up into regions which have a region manager. And each region has a pile of areas which each have an area manager. The relationship for each region/area to its respective manager is 1:1.
To my rules file I added 3 new columns:
GEN1,Retail Region/Area (data = "Retail Region/Area")
GEN2,Retail Region/Area (data = Region Name : Region Manager)
GEN3,Retail Region/Area (data = Area Name : Area Manager)
I've ignored the data load and dimension build on the first 2 columns, but the third one, the lowest level, is the one data is being loaded into, among many other dimensions. The only weird thing I noticed is the last column (GEN3,Retail Region/Area) doesn't have a Field Name under the Data Load Properties. It's just blank.....but I don't think that would matter.
Now to answer your questions.....multiple columns that have members from the same dimension........it doesn't look like that's the case with the three columns I added. Am I missing it? And the rows I should be looking at......are you referring to the SQL database or the data prep editor in Essbase after loading the SQL file? I'm not converting NULL to anything that I know of. If it was preset before starting the project it's likely the same for every dimension. And as far as transformations, I'm not familiar with that so that would be a no.

FDM Essbase Adapter - Duplicate members from same dimension on data records

I am getting this error message when trying to export data to Essbase using FDM.
Error - Duplicate members from same dimension on data records.
Though this error looks quite straight forward, I could not find any thing in the data file to indicate the same. I even tried loading a single row data, but still got the same message.
What other things I should be looking at to fix this issue?
Thanks.

There are one or two previous threads on this, but this might give you some help to start with as it links to an esssbase document which gives suggestions for the error message:
Error in dataload- Duplicate Members From Same Dimension On Data Record
another thread indicated that the first record had a blank in it and by re-sorting to have the first records with all fields populated resolved the issue (not sure on this one).
from the FDM side:
1. Are the dimensions correctly mapped in the Essbase adaptor?
2. Are the dimensions in the correct sequence for loading to Essbase.
3. Does the same value appear In more than one field (Can't remember but i think essbase didn't use to allow the same member name across dimensions).

This is usually the result of syncing between icloud and itunes, stop syncing contacts through one of them.

In some cases, data can appear to be duplicated, but actually your client application or device stored your data in multiple locations or data stores.Instead of attempting to remove or edit duplicate Contacts , you should verify if and how your Contacts are duplicated .

Deleting Many Duplicate Contacts from iPhone 5

Is there an easier way to delete many (hundreds) of duplicate contact from my iPhone 5? My wireless carrier accidentally caused this situation when transfering contacts from one phone to another. I would like to avoid having to delete each duplicate one by one. Deleting all contacts and starting over sounds too traumatic.
Thank you.

If you have a recent back up that was made before the issue started then simply restore from that back up and it should resolve the issue.
Also if you are using iCloud on the iPhone this article may help you out: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147

Create Second (Duplicate) contact from First

I know this sounds like a minor problem, but it might solve some tedious behavior.
Does anyone know how, in Address Book, to create a contact from another contact so that all I have to change is the person's name and perhaps their phone numbers.
For example, if I'm working with Joe Smith at Ford and now I want to add Jane Jones, who also works at Ford, I want to keep most of the info the same and just vary the name, direct dial, email address, but keep the address, web site, main numbers all the same. You can't drag the address of one contact to another easily and populate the correct fields. Right now I have to fill in everything from scratch, which seems stupid because we have computers for that sort of thing.
BTW, this functionality exists in Entourage and Now Contact (which was smart enough to autofill if it saw you were adding another person at a certain company.)
What am I doing wrong?

Select an entry, press COMMAND-C to copy, then press COMMAND-V to paste.

Hi,
To ensure duplicate member outline hierarchies are built correctly, use qualified member names in data source or use the rules files to construct qualified member names from fields in the data source
Example:-
suppose we have this data set-
West India Delhi 12344
West India Bangalore 46544
East "New york" "New york" 126787
Here I am using the RULE FILE to construct qualified member names--
Step 1:- Create the additional TEXT fields, create one field each for the
following text elements-
Step 2:- Using the MOVE operation, move the fields to the following sequence:
1 . .2 . .3 . .4 ..5 ... 6 . 7 . . . 8
[   west ].[ India ].[ Delhi ] 12344
step 3:- Using JOIN operation, join together fields 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 to create a
signle field as
1     .     . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2
[west].[India].[Delhi] 12344
OR
you should specified the full qualified name in your DATA SOURCE.
Hope it will help you.

Duplicate contacts from outlook to iphone 4S

I have read many posts about contacts being duplicated on the iPhone. I have not used iCloud, but there were contacts in there. I deleted them and turned contacts off in iCloud on my phone, which deleted all the contacts on my phone.
I have recently deleted many contacts from Outlook, so wanted ONLY those on my phone. When I sync via computer cable connection to iPhone, even the deleted contacts still show up, and many, many contacts are duplicated, even though there is only one contact in Outlook.
In addition, many contacts have dupicate fields. If i delete the duplicate contacts or the duplicate fields, they disappear from Outlook altogether.
This is driving me seriously crazy!!!
Please, someone help!

How to enter contacts from the company directory t...

I have an E72.
How can I access the company directory from the recipient field of a new mail or a new meeting invitation?
Mail for Exchange is configured correctly, syncing of mails and calendar works fine. Yet there seems to be no way I can access the company directory to write mails to people who are not in my local address book.

Just J wrote:
To add to the above, since you're running Windows your choices are Outlook if you have it on your computer (the full version, not Outlook Express), or the MobileMe service. You would load contacts into one of those two places, and then sync them to the iPhone via the settings in iTunes.
Well sort of Outlook Express. Outlook Express uses the windows built in Windows Address Book (found in Accessories). And you can sync with the Windows Address Book (as I do).

TS4147 Duplicate contacts from two accounts

Hi, I have two accounts (iCloud and Gmail) setting to show contacts in my contacts, how can I merge both acounts into one clean list? and I prefer if that would be in Gmail since I use 2 phones with the same number (Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5), iOS7 on iPhone

You're probably syncing from two sources. Do the contacts show up as duplicated at icloud.com?
One of the most causes is syncing from both icloud and itunes.
