Duplicate contacts on iphone 4s but not on icloud

Hi
Everytime i edit a contact on my iphone 4s running ios6 it doubles up the contacts but not in icloud.
If i delete then delete 1 of the duplicates both are removed as well as the one on icloud.
Please help its driving me mad.
thanks

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.

Itunes 10.5, iOS 5, iphone 4, but not use iCloud?

hello friends. amidst all the recent hoopla/confusion i can't even remember if i asked this, but...if i update to 10.5 and ios 5 on my macbook pro and iphone 4 can i just continue as i always did without icloud? can i use all the new features of ios 5 except for the icloud part? for example imessage and so on? and also sync by cable if i want? thanks as always for any help.

yes you can just go into settings and turn off everything in iCloud

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

ICloud Calendars-Will sync from PC to iPhone 4 but not from iPhone 4 to PC.

My calendar will sync through iCloud from the PC (Microsoft Outlook) to my iPhone 4 but not the other way around.

Once you set your Exchange Calendar as the default here:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to Default Calendar > Select your Exchange calendar
All new events should be created in your Exchange calendar unless manually changed.

How did you delete the Note? If you did a "select all" and "cut", open the Note and shake your iPhone to undo the cut action.

As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

Yes, content purchased on your phone (or any device for that matter) will be added to iTunes Match and be made available on all other devices.

WWhat are you syncing your contacts with? A supported application on the computer or cloud service? They should still be there.

IPhone Detected But Not Identified?

I hooked up my iPhone to my base that goes into my cpu and I got this message: "An iPhones was detected, but could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone and try again." I havent had any problems like this before. Will a reinstall over this iTunes fix the problem? I am running Windows XP. I have also noticed that when I plug up my phone, the Scanner and Camera Wizard pops up recognizing the iPhone as a camera. Also when running iTunes after I got that message, my cpu will freeze for about 5 seconds and work fine a little while then freeze again for 5 seconds. But when I close iTunes, it stops freezing.

I am having the same issue iPhone detected, but not identified. Did you get a solution to the problem? Had to go to th Apple store to register my phone. iPhone connected fine with their MacBook. That doesn't help me at home though.

I have iphone 4 but not purchase that from airtel or aircel in india does that void my apple warrenty

i have iphone 4 but not purchase that from airtel or aircel in india does that void my apple warrenty, i have purchase from grey market

Only iPhones sold by authorized resellers in India will be serviced by Airtel or Aircel. If you purchased from an unauthorized source, it's quite possible that the iPhone came from some other country, and would be serviced only in that country. Discovering what country the iPhone was originally sold it will be quite difficult unless the place you purchased it from can tell you.
So in practical terrms, it's probable that you have no warranty.
Regards.
