Duplicated Every Contact in My Address Book, Need Help Deleting

I recently had to trade in my 8830 for a new one due to warranty issues.  I am synced up with my employer's enterprise server and all the contacts I have on that server were re-synced but for some reason, I have two of every contact in my address book now.  I had some issues when re-syncing to the server and ran the sync twice.  I'm pretty positive it has something to do with that.  I'm sure there is a file in the options menu that I can delete, but I need somebody to tell me where it is.  If something goes haywire and I end up deleting all my contacts on the server, I'd be screwed.  Any help? Thanks

Bump!

  • ICloud keeps duplicating my contacts, any of which I need to delete anyways.  Is there a way to delete multiple contacts at once? I  have been deleting them one at a time, but they keep reappearing.

    I have exactly the same problem!  I have Outlook 2010 and it does the same thing with my contacts, and calender enteries!! Really frustrating

    i get an ioexception, must catch or throw, i tried to add catch but it says i must have try, so i added try and it says i cant have catch without try! what am I doing wrong??
    am i doing it right also? should this be in my options? i.e if i press save button?
    also why isn't my next and previous buttons working??
    and one more thing, is there an easier way to show the contents of my file to the jtextfields? (import contacts class)

  • HT204150 Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone?

    Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone? Or will my iphone redownload all the contacts i deleted when i connect it to my macbook or through the cloud?
    when working with icloud, is there a primary device (macbok, ipad...) on which if the changes are made, they reflect on all other devices?

    I see.  If you are syncing contacts with iCloud on both your Mac and your iPhone, deleting a contact from either device will delete them from icloud.com and all other devices. 
    What's really going on with iCloud is that your contacts actually reside on the iCloud server.  Your Mac and iPhone are merely reading the current contact list as it exists on the server.  When you delete a contact (or make any other change) on either device, you are making these changes on the server.  As a result, all other devices "syncing" contacts with the same iCloud account will read this change.  When you log onto icloud.com, you are viewing the server from your browser.

  • V card for address book? anything underway? need to attach contact info from address book to email, other than my own data.

    Outlook had this nice feature allowing v card attachment for any contact in the address book to be attached to outgoing email. Will Thunderbird ever have something equivalent? Currently using Select Address book Text add on but still not V Card attach simplicity.

    There is an addon which can help.
    MoreFunctionsForAddressBook.
    * https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
    Download file to desktop or downloads file.
    In Thunderbird
    Tools > Addons
    or
    Menu icon > addons
    click on gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
    locate the file you downloaded and click on Open
    You will need to restart Thunderbird at prompt.
    In 'Address Book'
    right click on contact in list and select 'Send as vcard'.
    If you want to add more than one vcard:
    Press Ctrl key and select contacts to highlight, then right click on highlighted contacts and select Send as vcard'.
    This opens a new Write message with that contact(s) added as vcard attachment(s).
    There is also the option from the 'Contacts Sidebar' in a new Write window, but I'm not having any success from this method at this moment...maybe it will work for others...perhaps due to a bug, but I've reported it the author. At least it still works via Address Book.

  • ICloud for Windows Not Displaying Contacts in Outlook Address Book

    I am trying to setup my iCloud account in Outlook 2013. I have installed the iCloud Control Panel applet and it is all setup fine, I can see all my emails, my contacts are in the people section and I can see my Calendars in the Calendar section. But when I try to search my contacts in the Address Book window there are no Contacts to search. When I try to make the contacts visible in the address book by right clicking on the contacts folder the option is greyed out.
    I have read everything I can find about it online and tried every trick that I have come across but nothing seems to work. I have tried changing the default data file, I have tried recreating the PST files and signing in and out of iCloud reinstall the iCloud control panel Applet. Nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone have this working? If so how did you do it?
    Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
    Kind Regards,
    Gryffon-G-Wiz

    Address books aren't email.
    You need to export them from yahoo and import them to Thunderbird. Yahoo will probably offer CSV ("comma separated values") format which Thunderbird can use.

  • Is it possible to keep Contact List and Address Book seperate on iPhone?

    I just made the switch today- big time – from Motorola to iPhone, and from PC to iMac, plus a Macbook Air as well for travel. Thanks to iphone and Mac forums I have been able to resolve most newbie issues and have exported my data, files and contacts without problem.
    However there is one issue I have not been able to resolve or clarify:
    - My old phone contact list has now been transferred my new iPhone, consisting of about 100 phone numbers which I use regularly.
    - Address Book in my new iMac contains about 800 contacts including phone numbers, clients, etc, as well as personal bank account numbers, and other confidential data in the “Notes” field, which I need to refer to only occasionally.
    But I understand that if I sync my iPhone with my Mac, it will merge my Address Book contacts on Mac, with the phone contacts on my iPhone Contact list, into one list. Is this true? Is it not possible to maintain 2 separate Apps on my iPhone, i.e
    1. The iPhone Contact list for frequently used telephone contacts, and
    2. The Mac Address Book with more detailed notes and account numbers, which I only need to refer to occasionally?
    3. If this is possible, can I configure it so that a password is required each time the Address Book on iPhone is accessed? (I realise I can configure the iphone to require a pin when turned on), but I would like a password to access the Address App because of the confidential data. Previously I had all this data contained on a Palm Zire 72 handheld and its PC Desktop counterpart, where a password was required to access.
    From what I’ve read on the forums, it will be very cumbersome to have a phone contact list with 1000 names on it, so I want to keep phone contacts simple with phone numbers only. (I realise I can set up Group folders in Address Book, but this is not what I need). I'm also concerned about having confidential information on my iPhone which can be accessed without a password for that particular application. I intend to get MobileMe but that also does not address the issue of keeping Telephone Contacts seperate from Address Book on iPhone.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Speculating:
    if, as already suggested, you use the Groups function to sync only the 100 contact list numbers, then how to get the expanded Address Book?
    I've not used it myself, but Bento might be worth looking into--Bento on the Mac pulls your Address Book data (I'm pretty sure) and syncs to Bento iPhone.
    I don't recall hearing about any alternate phone books, but since pretty much any program on the Mac can hook into the Address Book, you might look at the more powerful note organizers to see if any of them pull that data?
    You might have a problem getting notes added on the phone back into Address Book on the Mac, though.
    I actually right now keep my main address book in MS Entourage (similar to Outlook), and only use the Mac Address Book to sync to the iPhone. I could sync Entourage to Address Book, but I don't--haven't sorted out the data yet, and I don't really need all the same numbers in both places.
    If that sounds possible, you might look at Mark/Space and Missing Sync for iPhone---something like keeping all 800 contacts in Entourage, and syncing them all, but moving the confidential portion of each contact into Entourage Notes and syncing those via Missing Sync, perhaps might work. (I think you can link a contact to a note in Entourage)
    An interesting problem. You might also send feedback to Apple:
    http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    as this is really not a usage scenario they've planned for. They probably don't care, though--doesn't seem all that common.

  • HT4489 How can I synchronize contacts between Apple Address Book/iPhone address book and Outlook (I'm on Mac OX10.7.4 and using Office 2011)?

    I appear to have done what I should to move to iCloud on my Mac, MacbookAir, iPhone and iPad.  Using Outlook 2011 on the iMac and unable to sync contacts between Outlook and my Apple Address Book and iPhone over the cloud.  I gather lots of people have the same problem but some appear to have solved it... any ideas?
    Also, in some sync, I managed to duplicate the entries on the Address Book on my Mac, whereas the iCloud Address Book is ok.  How can I replace the Address Book on my computer with the one on iCloud?
    Thank You for any help!

    Hi Lucy, I had the same problem with Outlook data sync. Once you've enabled iCloud all your contacts are moved to iCloud and are no longer stored on Mac, that's why Outlook cannot reach them - there is simply nothing to reach as data physically stored in cloud.
    I use SyncMate to solve this problem. This app allows connecting and syncing numerous devices and accounts with your Mac and they have recently added iCloud into this list (here the page where they describe sync with iCloud http://www.sync-mac.com/cloud-sync.html ).
    This is how I established sync of my Outlook data with iCloud via this app.
    1. SyncMate syncs only that data which is located on your Mac so you will need to move your contacts back to Address Book on mac from iCloud and disable iCloud for contacts (in order they were stored on Mac, not in iCloud).
    2. You install SyncMate and add iCloud as a new connection (depending on data you want to sync you need to choose "Cloud contacts" or "Cloud calendars" connection in SyncMate wizard and log into your iCloud via SyncMate). Once you've done this, you can sync data on Mac with iCloud via SyncMate.
    3. I may assume that automatic sync option is enabled in Outlook preferences (as previously your contacts on Mac were synced with Outlook). If no - please, enable it (got to Outlook preferences).
    4. Once all this done, data will be automatically synced betwen Outlook and iCloud (latter via SyncMate). The trick of SyncMate is that data is physically located on your Mac (thus ensuring it will be synced with other devices and accounts SyncMate supports, as I said before, SyncMate works with data which is located on Mac), but you still can have it in iCloud (sync will be performed via SyncMate, no need to enable iCloud itself).
    5. And of course, you will be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Mac (SyncMate supports sync with iPhones also). These contacts will be also synced to Outlook.

  • How do I force Mail to use contact names in Address Book?

    I ~need~ Apple Mail to display sender names as I have them in Address Book. My students are Thai and have typed their sender names in Thai, so I can't recognise a thing. I've sorted all the names out in Address Book (in English) but Mail still displays sender names using the email default, rather than the names from Address Book.
    • Upon receiving new mail however, the message's sender name ~WILL~ show up as the name put in Address Book. HOWEVER, after viewing the message the name reverts back to the one specified by the email author!! After that I can't get the name to show up as the Address Book name!
    Is there a toggle somewhere? How do I force Mail to use the contact names from Address Book?

  • How do i delete all my contacts in mail address book

    how so i delete all my contacts in mail address book, i have 1,042,000 blank contacts.

    In Lion, the user's LIBRARY folder is hidden. So, it's not visible automatically.
    Open Finder.
    At the menu items at the top of your screen, click on GO (where you see Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Help)
    Next within the GO options, select the 'Go to Folder' option. You will see a window open to enter text.
    Enter ~/Library and click the GO button.
    Now you'll be in your user LIBRARY where you need to be to get to your address book file previously mentioned.
    You want to open the Application Support folder then from inside there open the AddressBook folder. Then you can follow Barney's instructions.

  • Contact Pictures in Address Book Vanish When dragged to Exchange Server ???

    Forgive me in advance if this has been solved and then please direct me to the right link - however this problem is really becoming a deal breaker for me because so much of my intranet software pulls from contact images
    I have a brand new Macbook Pro clean installation and after setting it up I linked it to my 07 Exchange server and pulled down my contacts it worked flawlessly and i thought all was well - Every field including the notes section and pictures transferred.
    Then when I edited pictures in address book contacts under the on my mac section and copied them to my exchange address book the contact transfers but the picture is missing - after the initial transfer of contacts from my exchange server it happens vice versa also if i take a contact on my exchange server with a picture and drag it to address book (in the address book application) it deletes the picture
    Alot of my applications pull from my exchange contact database and I rely heavily when replying to calls or messages at looking at the picture when it pops up on my screen
    Apple support said they are sort of aware of this issue and there is a work around but they dont know what it is ??? and recommended that i ask on the forum
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated Im at my wits end or does address book just not work right ? - Oh and one more thing when clicking on a contact on the exchange server from address book i can edit a contact but i cant edit the picture field either
    Someone tell me something'
    Thanks

    I'm having the exact same problem... worked fine until I did a clean install Last week.
    anyone figured out a fix or workaround ?

  • HT1692 When I delete a contact from my address book, why does their name appear when I'm scrolling through names to text?

    I have deleted several contacts from my address book. However, when I type "d" for example to select a contact for text messaging, the deleted contacts still appear in the list! How can I solve this?

    This has to do with this information being held in a separate cache in the phone. There are two choices here. You can restore the phone as a new device, which is the only true way to remove this cache; or you can wait until the information is overwritten in the cache, and no one has been able to describe how long that takes, so I would say the only way to really do it is the restore as new, and not from a backup. This will delete all of your data and you will need to sync data back individually.

  • Do not want ALL Contacts in my Address Book on my iPhone

    I have a lot of business contacts in my address book on my Mac that I do not want on my iPhone.  Is there a way to select specific groups to snyc from iCloud?  Or is it all or nothing?
    Thanks
    Bonnie

    Depending on how your Address Book is organised it may be relatively simple or not, but basically you need to drag the contacts you want to move to On My Mac to your desktop, delete them from Address Book and add them back (double click on the file on your desktop) once you have selected All On My Mac from the groups list.
    If you don't have an All On My Mac group, you'll need to go to preferences > general and make set your default account to On My Mac.
    You can drag more than one contact at a time so if you have them in groups already it will help, if not you can work through the list of contacts using cmd click to select just the one's you want.
    You can turn off the sync with Google and Yahoo from preferences > accounts > On My Mac.
    Summary:
    Select all the contacts you want to move
    Drag them to the desktop
    Delete from Address Book
    Set default account to On My Mac
    Select All On My Mac from groups
    Double click the file on your desktop
