Duplicate iCloud listing of Contacts

After Undating to the new 10.9.2 I get 2 (duplicate) icloud lists of contacts in Mail and Contacts. Restarting and reseting does not resolve the issue. On both of our iPads, contacts list appear correctly, only once. How do I return the contact list to only one icloud list on the iMac 10.9.2?

Duplicate iCloud Groups in Contacts

I have two iCloud groups in Contacts and two iCloud accounts in Contacts > Preferences > Accounts. See pic. Does anyone know how I can remove one of them. I have tried deleting one of the accounts but that just resulted in all the contacts being deleted from iCloud. The only option I can see is to make one of the accounts disabled, but I'd rather remove it all together.

So, you have signed out of icloud and have no active icloud accounts in internet accounts.
And, you still have an icloud account in Contacts?
If you have other accounts beside iCloud listed in Internet Accounts, make sure Contacts for all are deselected.
Go to iCloud.com and see if you have more than one iCloud account listed. Make sure all your contacts are there. You should only have one.
Question. When you sign out of iCloud, do you choose to delete the contacts from the computer? If not, sign back in to iCloud . Then sign out and choose delete all contacts from the computer. They will remain on the server. Then check the AB and see if the account still appears.
If none of the above works, we will have to find the corrupt file.

Duplicate iCloud 'accounts' on contact lists - MacBook Pro

I've been having difficulties first getting my contacts to synch with all devices. So I opened up the 'contacts' application on my MacBook pro, and found a number of iCloud accounts were being recognized on my computer. I have only ever signed in one account, so these appear to be duplicates. However, apart from one of these 'duplicate' accounts that contains a large number of contacts, all other 'duplicates' appear to be empty, and are more like phantom accounts. I've attached a photo of what my sidebar looks like... If anyone has encountered this before, any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!!

It is possible to use 3 iCloud accounts with notes, but I assume you are not expecting 3 accounts, are they not your accounts.

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

It's in Outlook, in the iCloud account Contacts.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Use your back up on your mac/PC and re-add your contacts to Address Book or whatever contact software you use.

Contacts.app shows duplicate iCloud accounts

I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and my Contacts app shows 4 duplicate iCloud contact sets. When I check the preferences > accounts setting within the app, it shows 4 entries for iCloud, each for the same iCloud account. When I try to remove any of them, it suggests I go over to Internet Accounts in System Preferences. Within System Preferences there was only 1 iCloud account, not 4. I removed that account from my computer yet the duplicates remain. I can't get rid of them. Please help!

I found a way to resolve this.
1) Remove iCloud from your System Preferences (make sure all your iCloud content is backed up somewhere else first (via Time Machine or on another Mac)
2) Shutdown
3) Boot up
4) Open up contacts app
5) Open Preferences of Contacts and go to "Accounts"
6) Select the rogue iCloud account and click the button in the bottom right "Edit account", this will open up system preferences and the rogue iCloud account will reappear there. Hit the Minus button in the left sidebar to remove it.
7) Quit System Preferences & quit Contacts app
8) Shutdown & Boot up again
9) Repeat steps 4-8 until all of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts are removed from the Contacts app.
10) Once completely free of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts in Contacts app, re-enable iCloud in System Preferences.
I did this to remove 4 duplicates and now have one clean iCloud account in the Contacts app.

HT4489 I'm a novice so be nice. I have a list of contacts exported to a .abbu file which I'd like on my iCloud contacts but whenever i try to import them, they don't copy across only into "all contacts"

Can anyone help, any would be appreciated.

You have exported as an Address Book archive file: you need to select all the contacts and choose to export them as a vCard - this is the only format you can import into the iCloud website.

I downloaded the app Facebook and my list of contacts (they have already existed) was replaced by facebook's contacts (list). I cannot find my original contacts, ONLY MY FACEBOOK'S contacts. If I acess the Icloud, my contacts ARE THERE (all)!

Turn off facebook syncing of contacts, this should be covered in the User's Guide.

ICloud replaced my contact list. How to revert to old contact list?

Two phones on my current apple account, both attached to iCloud: an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 4S.
Updated my iPhone 4 a week ago, allowed iCloud to sync all contacts.
Just today(a week after the iOS update and iCloud settings), my contacts start disappearing from my contact list. After a few hours they are all replaced with the contact list from the iPhone 4s.
How do I go about reverting my contacts to the original contact list on my iPhone 4?

I had to upgrade my iphone 4 to a 4s because it was stolen, now (a day after the upgrade) someone elses contact list is in my phone. Kinda the same situation but im wondering if you were able to get this resolved. I would like my contact list back too.

How to print contacts from iCloud (list vs separate sheets of paper)

How do you print a list of contacts from icloud without having each contact on one sheet of paper. Perhaps print with several vcard images on one sheet?

That's ok...I figured it out. I selected all contact by selecting all contacts then to the settings image and select print.

HT4436 For some reason the ICloud took my contact list and left me without a list on my PC.

For some reason the ICloud took my contact list and left me without a list on my PC. My IPAD and IPOD Touch seem to share well with ICLoud but has removed my contact list completly from my PC. I am wondering if anyone else has had this experience or knows how to get it back ?

Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.
Try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

How do I remove duplicate iCloud calendar entries in iTunes

Hello Everyone and thanks in advance for any help on this issue!
The main issue is that in iTunes>Devices>Info>Sync Calendars, I see of Local calendars listed and also iCloud calendars listed (they show a portion of the address (CalDAV?) that they use to sync), and the issue is that I have DUPLICATE iCloud calendar entries here and I would love to remove them.
Here is my setup:
MBP with Lion and iPhone 3G with all updates.
All of my calendars sync with iCloud (I also have an iPad, but not issue with it.) and there are no duplicate calendars or events in iCloud on the web, so this is fine.
I sync my iCloud/iCal calendars to my iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) via iTunes and this is going well, so no problems here, either.
I would just like to remove the duplicate iCloud calendars from iTunes under the Info pane so as to simplify life and my understanding. Also, there are other apps (like TimeTable) that go and read the master list of calendars. So, on this app, I see ALL of the calendars by name without being able to distinguish them any other way.
Any ideas as to how I can climb inside of iTunes and remove the duplicate iCloud calendar entries?
Thanks!
Blessings,
Justin

I can confirm that there are no duplicate contacts. Currently, because I use an iPhone 3G, my contacts are only being synced via iTunes, not via iCloud.
My question relates not to duplicate calendar events, but to duplicate calendar addresses (in iCloud) in iTunes' Info pane.
Here is a pic:
So, you can see that there are 2 entries for 'Personal', each with the iCloud address (CalDAV?) attached to it. Note that one entry says, 'Personal iCld' instead of just 'Personal'. This is because I renamed all of my iCloud calendars in iCal to see if that would help me distinguish the 'working' calendars from the duplicate entries.
I would love to be able to get rid of the extra calendars in iTunes to avoid confusion. I do not have any duplicate calendar entries on any devices at this point. I think part of this is because I have deslected the duplicate calendar references in iTunes.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Justin
