Duplicate contacts calendar in my iphone

i have MobileMe account and i has been use MobileMe to upload my contact and calendar. when i purchase a new macbook pro then use that's to sync my iphone, after sync, my iphone had two contact list and calendar list in my iphone. how to solve this problem??
thx a lot.... ...

I have a similar problem, but neither the advice above nor here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3677 have resolved it. I've been annoyed for some time now that all of my existing mobile me contacts are not appearing in Outlook (which is synced with a corporate Exchange Server) - everything works fine BTW on my Macs at home, it's just the Office environment that's a problem. Weirdly, new contacts entered in Outlook/Exchange do sync to Mobile Me - but not from iphone/mac/Mobile Me to Outlook. Thinking this may be because MobileMe is syncing with my Windows Address Book, rather than Outlook I imported my .pab file into Outlook and was at first delighted to see all my contacts appear there. My delight turned to horror when MobileMe then detected all these 'new' Outlook contacts creating hundreds of duplicates. The reason why the solution above doesn't work is because it assumes the problem is caused when syncing contacts for the first time to an iphone and not using the 'merge' option. This is NOT my problem. My problem is MobileMe itself now has hundreds of duplicate entries that it thinks are all different. Any suggestions how to fix it? I'd be thrilled to hear from you if you have....
Thanks in advance,

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!

You can use google sync to solve the issue about how to transfer contacts from Nokia to iPhone.
1 Launch Mail Exchange on your Nokia phone and setup using the settings mentioned here.
2 Now use your iPhone and navigate to Settings app and go to Mail,Contacts,Calendar tab.
3 Add an account and select Microsoft Exchange . Enter all your google account details as shown here .
4 Now your Google Sync is ready . Sync to transfer your contacts.
I have always been nervous about my iphone data and especially contacts. Not knowing how to transfer my contacts safely over to another phone, not least another sytem was preventing me from switching over. Now, I konw a app called Phone to Phone transfer that can copy everything from Nokia to iPhone without iTunes.

TS4147 Syncing contacts only through iCloud with Outlook 2007 and iPhone & iPad I have duplicate contacts only on the iPhone & iPad. If I remove one of the duplicates the other one is also removed. A solution would be appreciated.

Please tell me how to elimante duplicate contacts on my iPhone & iPad. I am syncing Outlook 2007 contacts through iCloud (NOT iTunes). There are no duplicates in Outlook, nor in iCloud, but there are duplicates on the iPhone & iPad. If I remove one of the duplicates the other duplicate disappears. Thank you.

Go to contacts on your phone/ipad, click groups, make sure that the only checked contacts are icloud. That shoud do.

Sync email, contacts & calendar on Live, iphone, PC

I want to sync email, contacts, and calendar on my iPhone and PC just like
it did with my blackberry, but I want to use a live mail account (or gmail or
other provider if Live won't work). The iPhone web pages don't list Live email account information any more like they used to. So I'm not sure what is going on with Live email and the iPhone.
I have an iPhone 2G (just today updated to OS 3.1) with the data plan. I have a Live mail account that I'll be using if possible. I currently have the updated contact list and calendar file that I want to use in Outlook 2003 on my XP desktop computer. I want to PUSH these items onto the iPhone because they have been painfully updated (from multiple accounts from multiple pc and phone upgrades). I want to continue using Outlook on the PC if possible, but want to migrate to using my notebook (that I plan to upgrade from Vista to Win7). I want the messages to dowload to the hard drive on the notebook for archival.
I know I should upgrade the Vista machine to Win7 before I start trying to
sync these 3 devices/areas (2 devices and 1 cloud??? ;-)). Once that is accomplished, I want to sync the notebook (outlook email and calendar and contacts) with the iphone (email, contacts, calendar) and Live (email, contacts, calendar). Will opened email show as "read" on the other devices at next logon? Will calendar updates work properly from any location and propagate to the other devices? Same for Contacts: can I change one anywhere and have it properly update at the other two locations? What about deleting email messages (or contacts, or calendar items), can it be done from any of the 3 and propagate to the the other 2?
Can it be done? How?

Google does not support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an IMAP account.
Google does support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an Exchange account, but Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google.
I have no idea about service interruptions with a Gmail account, but since Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google and still considered a Beta I believe, there are bound to be issues from time to time while Google gets the bugs worked out.
The iPhone supports Push access for recieved messages with email account providers that provide/support Push access. The iPhone also supports Fetch access with an option for automatically checking for new messages every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, or every hour. With an account that supports Push access, you can enable or disable Push access, automatically check the account for new messages, or manually check for new messages.
Nothing personal, but what is the big deal about Push access for recieved messages? What sort of important email do you regularly recieve that must be pushed to the iPhone the instant the message is recieved at the incoming mail server - along with every other message the instant they are recieved at the incoming mail server? To each his/her own, but that would drive me nuts. Nothing I recieve via email is so important that it can't wait for the account to be automatically checked for new messages every 30 minutes (my setting), and I can always manually check the account for new messages in between the automatic check.
Just trying to help you save what amounts to $8.33/mo with a MobileMe account. I haven't read about on-going regular problems with accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account. This provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, and you can sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process at no additional expense. You won't have Push access for recieved messages when accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account, but I think you will get by A-OK having the account automatically checked for new messages along with being able to do a manual check in between the automatic check if you are expecting an email of significant importance.
And in the interim, Google may get the bugs ironed out with accessing the account as an Exchange account which you can switch to when they do - still at no charge.

DUPLICATE CONTACT INFORMATION, ON MY IPHONE, ICLOUD

this is NOT about duplicate contacts but about on the iphone>contact>groups
has redundant lists
ALL CONTACTS
ON MY IPHONE>ALL ON MY IPHONE + CATEGORIES
ICLOUD>ALL ICLOUD + CATEGORIES
i don't understand all these lists. since everything is synced via icloud
why the whole list on 'on my iphone'? is it because the iphone list sits
in the memory on the iphone and the icloud list is actually accessing what is in icloud
(so for example if you lost contact with icloud there would be nothing there?).
just don't understand the concept. and how to simplify all the scrolling by eliminating
for example 'on the iphone'

If you synced your phone with iTunes on your Mac, check iTunes/Settings/Devices and see if there is a recent backup of your phone listed. If yes, use it to restore from, contacts are part of the backup.
Also check if syncing contacts is selected in the Info pane in iTunes with your phone connected.
If it says that your contacts can be or are synced from your address book on your Mac, and your address book does have your contacts listed, your contacts will be synced again to your phone the next time you sync it.
Just make sure to have at least one contact listed on the phone, syncing to an iPhone without contacts listed will erase the info on your computer as well.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Functioning with iPhone But Not iPad

I recently purchased an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed". Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all. I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Google discontinued Exchange support for free Gmail accounts as of 30 January 2013. Devices that were already set up wiht it will continue to work. However, as you've discovered, attempts to set it up on a new device will not. You will need to set up the account as a regular Gmail account.
To sync your contacts, you need to add a CardDAV account as well:

Hello there Alex,
Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
Take care,
Sterling

Problems syncing Outlook contacts, calendar etc with IPHONE?

After trying many options to fix this problem, the following was determined: If you were previously using another type of PDA/Smartphone with Outlook, your IPHONE may not properly sync your calendar, contacts, etc. For whatever reason, there is a conflict. SOLUTION: you need to save/export your contact/calendar info, then completely delete everything out of Outlook, then import back in. I wasnt able to do this w/2007, instead I exported and then made a new user profile (on my computer) and then dragged my saved files there. A minor pain in the a$$, but oh well. Thought I would pass this along, as it has to ******* someone else off as well! Good luck!

I thought I read somewhere that you had to make sure there were no other PDA plugins in Options>Other>Advanced options>COM Add-ins. I think if there is another plugin for a device other than the iPhone, it has problems.

HELP!!! How to back-up contacts & calendar entries from iPhone to new computer?

So i could later sync my phone to iTunes without the fear of getting all my contacts & calendar deleted.
Thanks very much!

I got it now. Since i couldn't find them in Outlook, i tried to sync it with Windows Address Book & all were there 100%! Thank u very much Lawrence for helping lotsa peeps like me! ^__^
P.S I now made a back-up copy to my external hard drive too just to be safe. Lol! Thanks again!

HELP! I had a duplicate contact added to my iPhone 1390 times!!!!

I have an iPhone 3gs (yes, I'm still living in the past), I have multiple contacts that randomly get added to my list of contacts. "Random" because it is mostly not even people I contact at ALL, by email or phone. Some of the contacts are only people I receive emails FROM (like for newsletters).
For example, one entry is an email of a friend - btw I NEVER use that email, I call her - the entry that only has her email was added to my iPhone 1390 times!!!!
That is not the only one that is duplicated. My contacts are almost unusable because of these enormous numbers of random duplicates being added.
I have 2 questions:
How do I stop my phone (or is it icloud?) from creating these duplicates
and
How can I clean this all up?
Oh, let's add a third question:
My phone is syncing the contacts to icloud (that is how I got the number of duplicates) but my icloud contacts are not syncing with my MBP running Lion (10.7.5). How can I get all of my contacts to synchronize nicely?
If all of my contacts would be on my MBP, I could merge the duplicates but they aren't there ... yet.
I am not synchronizing with google or yahoo or ..... only with icloud, my phone and my MBP. I have my phone to sync over the air in itunes.
Also, since I thought everything was synchronizing nicely, I add contacts on my phone or on my computer in about equal amounts. So, that means that I can't just erase (write over) what's on my phone or on my computer.
I want to sync with a new iMac and upgrade to Mountain Lion too but I want to get this straighted out first. I DO have icloud enabled on my MBP and my iphone.
Can someone help me please??
Thanks

I just found another address book entry that was repeated 2473 times!!! This is a just a little ridiculous, don't you think? And why that one? Most are ok but ....

Duplicate Contacts / Calendars

We have 12 Blackberry devcies and are running BES 4.1.6.10. 25% of the devices have issues where calendar items or contacts are duplicated.
The only common thread seems to be that if you go into the options, you see duplicated Desktop lists. There does not seem to be a way of deleting the duplicate.
To fix the contacts issue I had to use the desktop manager software to clear out both Desktop lists then turn back on wireless sync on one of them, but I am trying to stay away from installing the desktop manager software as a matter of course because it seems to add no business value.
Is this a known issue and is there a way to fix this / prevent this because we have now had the green light to supply the rest of our 200+ sales force with Blackberrys however if this continues to happen then it is going to cause a major problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi Hi,
Which model and version of devices you are running with. If you see you have 2x Desktop in calendar & address book options, can you go to Options > Advanced Options > service books and see if you can find more than one Desktop [CICAL] and Desktop [Sync], which by default you should one have one each.
If so, I suggest you to wipe the BB (Options > Security Options > General Settings > wipe handset) of one of those affected user, remove and readd user back onto BES and perform a wireless activation again. DO NOT connect to Desktop Manager and see if this retify the issue.

Duplicate contacts & calendar items

Hello
I need some help please, I have a new I-phone which I have tried to sync with outlook on my pc via itunes. I do not have ME on it at present, I have tried deleating every thing but as soon as you sync it doubles up? What am I not doing? or doing wrongly?

Are you running Outlook 2003 or 2007, which are the only Outlook versions supported for syncing with the iPhone?
Are the contacts and calendar events duplicated on your iPhone only?
If so and your Outlook contacts and calendar events are correct, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts and Calendars for replace info on this iPhone followed by selecting Apply and then syncing. This will replace all contacts and calendar events on your iPhone with what is available in Outlook. This will be one time.
