Duplicated contact when I synced with gmail contact and iCloud. How can I do?

On your iOS device tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off.
Reset the device. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Now tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts back on.

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

Contacts no longer syncing with GMail

It is very frustrating when things that are working suddenly stop. Here's what I had working: GMail Contacts on web and Android in bi-directional sync with MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 and Contacts version 7.1. I use Contacts as a conduit to Entourage version 12.3.6 and that part of the chain is still working perfectly. However, the link between Mac Contacts and Gmail Contacts is broken. New contacts created in Entourage appear in Mac Contacts, but not in Gmail.
I've tried two different ways of syncing GMail, both the built-in way in Contacts and creating a CardDAV account. Nothing works. Whatever process the Mac OS uses to talk to GMail Contacts is broken.
I don't really understand the difference between CardDAV sync and the built-in way Mac Contacts syncs and if there are any benefits to one or the other. The built-in one worked perfectly until a few days ago. Its even more crazy that within the Contacts app, if I select "All On My Mac", I see one particular contact, but when I select "All Google", it is not there.
Any thoughts?

Thank you Csound1. I found a couple of other bits of info to compliment your solution. Remember that my overall goal is to sync GMail Contacts with Entourage, and Entourage is the source of most of my problems. [Believe me, I would use Outlook for Mac if it was half the program Entourage is, but alas, its terrible. No Projects module is a deal breaker.]
Anyway, contacts created in Entourage appear in Mac Contacts, but there's *something* wrong. They are missing the "Card" field. That is why they don't sync with GMail Contacts. Contacts created in GMail Contacts correctly sync across to Mac Contacts, both through CardDAV and the built-in check-box in the Account setup. I guess my work-around from here on out is to create all new contacts in GMail. This is kind of a bummer, but I'll get used to it.

(iOS 7.1.1) Google Contacts no longer sync with my contacts app

Hello everyone. So recently I noticed that my Google Contacts no longer sync with my Contacts app, and this is really upsetting as I'm a person who needs to have updated contacts and both my phone, as well as a backup on my Gmail account, as I am both a Google and Apple user.
I am using an iPhone 5S, on 7.1.1.
My Settings has my Gmail account signed in, and has the "Contacts" switch turned on. I deleted the account, and re entered it, and I am still not seeing any activities of the Google Contacts and Contacts app syncing.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, so I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some ideas as to what might be going on. I'm real tech savvy but I have no idea what caused my contacts to stop syncing. My Google Calendar events sync just fine, so that's even more confusing.

Okay.. it won't let me go back and edit my earlier postings however... the problem is solved. I went in and Deleted ANY resource that iSync could get it's hands on that it kept in the iSync folder and the SyncServices Folder in the Libray Folder under Users. I actually moved the contents for those folders to a different volume. I then deleted the resources for Palm Desktop making it create a new user account. The Next time I opened iSync.. It went crazy trying to find resources.. it opened Calendar for me and I never saw it open address book but I saw that it was reading Addresses. I then Opened iTunes next and noticed that my full contacts from my address book were put back on my iPod!
Shew!!! one down and one to go. I prayed and added my palm device to iSync. Then I synced and got conflict popups for my Addresses and Calendars asking me how to reconcile ( I was only getting those for the Calendars earlier). I then re-synced and checked my Palm and All of my contacts were in the Treo 650! I then changed a few entries and synced again for a few tests and it appears to be fixed.
This is the problem with gradual upgrades as opposed to clean installs when you update your OS. It's just that OS X doesn't give you that option. in the Pre OS X days I would never just upgrade my OS. I would also Re-Format and Re-install. That's always been my preference.

How do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

When trying to but in app purchases I get an error that says "iTunes password and account is not synced with the email address"! How can I fix this?

I try and buy in app purchases but it won't let me and gives me the above error message: "iTunes password and account is not synced with the email address"! How can I fix this?

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

Address book gives no option to sync with gmail contacts

On my iMac, there is an option to sync with google contacts. On my MacBook there is not. How can I get the gmail contact option on my 2 year old MacBook

I'm guessing your iMac is new enough to be running Snow Leopard and the MacBook is not, if so, install Snow Leopard on the MacBook.

2 way contact sync with gmail contacts

I set up gmail account on iPhone (3GS), using Exchange option. When I enable the Contacts in iPhone setup, I see that all my Gmail contacts have transferred over to the iPhone (and I now have duplicates when looking at "All Contacts," but see there is a separate Gmail Contacts group which has only those Gmail contacts.
However, if I add a new contact to Address Book, and then sync, that new contact does NOT sync over to Gmail, so it appears to be one way. I do have mobileme, but I realize that probably doesn't get it over to Gmail.
So.... 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to get true two way sync of contacts between iPhone and Gmail
2) Is there any way to NOT have duplicate contacts when choosing All Contacts on iPhone (I suppose I could just leave it on Gmail Contacts, which if syncing 2 way, should show everything)...
Thanks--

Adding a contact on the phone syncs up to the Gmail contacts online satisfactorily (although I haven't tested different additions, like Fred & Wilma, vs. Barney)
Editing contacts on the phone syncs up somewhat. Eg, I have Barney Rubble, and edit it to show Barney & Betty Rubble. In the notes, I put 'Bam-Bam'. The edited note will show up, but the name change will not.
I'm resorting to the brute force method. Deleting the contact entirely, and re-entering it.

Icloud Sync with Gmail Contacts

I've successfully synced my Iphone 4s with my Macbook Pro Address Book contacts, but I'm having difficuly syncing new contacts I add to my Iphone with those on the Gmail server. Is this even possible? I've followed the guide found here http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=43b96a25d20b75b4&hl=en to no avail. With that set up, my address book simply created duplicates of all my contacts but I still cannot sync with the gmail server.
Any help would be much appreciated.

iCloud doesn't sync with gamil, only with your iCloud contacts. If all your devices are signed into the same iCloud account with contacts syncing with iCloud enabled, changes made on one device will sync to all other devices. Also, if you're looking for a backup solution beyond using iCloud take a look a apps like My Contacts Backup.

My Contacts are already synced with my email accounts. How do I change that?

Every time I added a contact my phone synced it with one of the email accounts on my Torch 9800. I want this to stop and I want to set my old contacts apart from my emails. How do I do this?
The problem actually increased when my gmail stopped working and when I deleted it and reinstalled it, I lost all the contacts saved on it. I don't want this to happen again.

Hi mhindawy,
You can disable the wireless synchronization between your email account and the contacts on your BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800 smartphone by opening the Contacts folder on your BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone, pressing the Menu key, selecting the contact list with the name of your email account, and unchecking the Wireless Synchronization checkbox. After doing this, any changes you make in your BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone Contacts will not be synchronized to your email account and vice versa.
Hope this helps.

ITunes keeps taking new songs off my iPhone 4s when wirelessly synced with my MacBook Pro. How do I stop this??

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and whenever my phone is close enought to my computer to wirelessly sync, it takes all my new songs I just added within the last week off my iPhone and I have to connect it with the cord and sync it to get it all back. Why does it do this? I'm getting very annoyed at having to do this multiple times a day just to keep the new stuff I added on my phone..

My phone and my wifes phone sync with different itunes and icloud accounts

My wifes iphone 5 and my 5s use different itunes and icloud logins...yet changes to her calendar for example reflect on my phone immediately. Her icloud acct shows her contacts and calendar....mine shows neither. Thoughts or suggestions...Dan

This sounds like misconfiguration issues.
For Calendars, log into each of your accounts on iCloud.com. Check the Calenders app there to ensure each of your iCloud-based calendars are properly shared between your wife and you. Remember, when you invite another person to share your calendar, that other person must accept the invitation.
For Contacts, make sure you have contacts in your account (check on your phone and on iCloud.com). On your phone, go under Settings/iCloud and make sure the toggle is on for Contacts. Again on your phone, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Swipe down and make sure your default calendar is your iCloud-based calendar.
Hope this provides some insights that lead to a solution for you.
