Duplicate contacts, unable to delete duplicate contacts and other contacts deleted

Hi, I have a bb curve 8330, I installed the destop software for mac and it seemed to work except that now all of my contacts are gone except for one that has been duplicated 5 times. Now when I try to sync again it fails, and I'm not able to delete the duplicate contacts or edit them. Is there anyway to get rid of these duplicate contacts? I can manually enter my contacts again but I would really like to be able to delete these duplicates.
I have a Mac dual G5 running osx 10.5.8.1.
Device OS release - 4.5.0.169
Device Type/Model - Blackberry 8330
Did you have a leaked version installed previously? No
What other syncing software did you install? None

I suspect there was an issue with the Address Book database on the BlackBerry and the wipe of the device may have corrected it for you.
Thanks for following up.

Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts. I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone. I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help. Any ideas?

Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting. You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this. You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.

Everytime I delete an email, several others are deleted with it

Everytime I try to delete a message, several others are deleted with it. This started happening with the lates update.

Hello
Thank you for your help. I checked and all of these settings are already clicked. I don't think that is related to the issue.
I have many sub folders in my inbox and I can see all of these in a pane on the left. However if I delete a folder or the emails in a folder in this pane, and then try to click into another folder so that I can process the emails in the second folder then often I will find that althopugh I can see the titles of those emails in the main pane, I cannot actually read any of them. They all appear to be blank. I have to completely close thunderbird and open it up again then I can see them. However if I delete those then the same issue arises. It means then when I am trying to tidy up old email folders I have to do a lot of restarting thunderbird. This surely can't be right.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Accidentally deleted exchange account and lost contacts....please help

Hello all,
I have a unique problem and I'm worried that it may not be fixable but hopefully it is. Here is the long detailed explanation.
I was trying to start setup for an outlook account to sync my business emails to my phone (which I never got around to doing) I noticed that under mail/contacts etc. that there was an exchange account.....with it being early in the AM and still in bed I accidentally deleted it. I noticed immedietly after that my texts were coming in with numbers rather than contact names. I don't usually use the start mail (blue with white envelope) I had it archived away.....because I have the gmail app which was much more user friendly. Whoever set up the exchange account must have been at the verizon store when i bought the phone possibly. I did not do this myself. Anyways I have a few more problems that makes this issue worse....for some time now my iCloud has been saying it does not have the appropriate amount of storage......(And I assume is not backing up my contacts) I've never really had to use iCloud before so I think this may not help either. I looked on gmail and only certain contacts....older ones were on there. I went to a verizon store and he helped me re-add my exchange account which im assuming was through my gmail email (Only email I really use) and certain contacts seemed to pop up. After leaving the store I realized that a lot of the newer contacts I've added were still missing......I'm not sure what else I can do to recover these contacts if anything but I am now up for suggestion. This is basically where I'm at right now.....not totally missing everything but missing a good deal. Also would like to get my cloud up and running again so this doesn't happen again. I haven't hooked to iTunes yet but I never really did that regularly so that might not help either. Like I said I am up for any suggestion......maybe a way to look up my exchange account if by chance it wasn't under my gmail email account......Thanks in advance!
Sam

How do I migrate contacts, get rid of email account, and double contacts?

I've noticed that I didn't have iCloud set up and yet iTunes said that my phone was managing my contacts.
I looked and an email account I rarely use was managing my contacts.
I turned on iCloud and turned off that email account and it deleted more than half my contacts. I tried to migrate it by turning on contacts for another email account and suddenly new contacts were only being added under that account, so now I have three accounts managing my contacts and I can't figure out how to just get them all on to my computer and synced (so I don't have doubles) via iCloud. If I stop the contact syncing with those emails, I lose numbers of contacts, but it also means I now have doubles.

go to settings>mail,contacts,calendars>select your old account and scroll down to the bottom till u see delete account in big red button

Yosemite is recreating plist and other files deleted in Mail.app

First, excuse my poor English.
This happens several times: files I used to delete (like the previous recipients list in mail.app or the signaturas in Mail) are recreated automatically...
That's strange, even if I trash the files, and reboot, the miles are full of information and recreated again and this is a problem for me since I want to delete them to recréate brand new ones with good information. Whah's happening in Yosemite ? Where this information is stored ? I wonder....
Here is one precise exemples in mail.app:
- I want to trash the signatures files in mail.app.
Usually i went to my user/Library/Mail/V2/Maildata and delete the whole folder Signatures.
Now I trash the folder but when I reopen Mail all my signatures are recreated....
I wonder where it comes from....
I need to delete this folder because i have a problem switching signature...

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Important: This action will delete any signatures and custom Mail stationery that you created. If you want to preserve that data, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used?

Deleting Orphaned Preferences and Other Files

Under Classic there were a couple of apps that would seek out and list orphaned preferences and other files from applications that had been deleted from the computer. There are some UNINSTALLER apps for Leopard, but I can't seem to find any that will list orphaned files for deletion. What I want to do is get rid of orphaned files from apps that I probably hand-deleted some time ago.
Anyone know of a solution?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
If you have uninstaller software already installed then it should, typically, alert you to associated files that you may want to delete. But they will not work for applications you have deleted prior to installing the uninstaller software.

Contacts iCloud account became untitled source and can't delete

Suddenly my contacts were duplicated with my iCloud account and another Icloud account name untitled source. I removes the sync from my iCloud account and deleted all contacts from my mac. The untitled source account remains there and I can't delete a single contact.

Yep, it tells me that it is a totally virgin (or wiped-out) record... see screen copies below, especially the exchange Server one :

Accidentally deleted photo booth (and other preinstalled apps) on ipad

I think my little one deleted FaceTime, Photo Booth, Camera, and a couple other apps on our new iPad. How can I get them back?

I'm puzzled why Time Machine didn't work. You can open the Photo Booth app from the applications folder in Time Machine ( it took a long time for the folder to start operating, but after about a minute wait the applications folder worked just like the on on the current desktop) from your last good system. You don't have to completely restore the whole system. Just open the app in the Time Machine folder, and you should be good to go. I accidentally deleted Photo Booth yesterday, and restored it today by opening the app from Time Machine of a few days ago.
