Gamil contacts Duplicates, Triplicates X4 etc.

I'm new to the forum but.. I hope this is where I can get some good advice. My iPhone 3gs syncs my google contacts but gives me duplicates/triplicates of my contacts. I searched the web and it seems to be a common problem but the sites that I visited do not give clear direction. Can some one help with this? Thanks

You're welcome.
Sorry, but I'm a little lost by your response, so I'll ask again.
Do you have Sync Contacts with the Outlook address book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes in addition to syncing contacts over the air on your iPhone with your Gmail account that is being accessed as an Exchange account on your iPhone?
If yes to both, doing both is not required and will duplicate the contacts on your iPhone.

I find I have duplicates, triplicates, quadruples, etc. of all my files. Why is this happening?

I'm on Mac os X 10.6.8 In Text files I have duplication of files going on, both text and photos.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Any change on reboot?

Duplicate/Triplicate photos uploaded to Facebook albums from iphoto

When I upload photos from Iphoto to Facebook, the same photo is uploaded two or even three times, and I then have to delete the duplicate & triplicate photos. How can I prevent this from happening? Thank you very much!

Give renewing your iPhoto preference file a shot -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

How can I transfer my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from one apple-id to another?

I moved from DK to the US and now I have created a US-apple-ID. How do I transfer all my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from my DK-apple-ID to my new US-apple-ID?

Hey kristina rivera!
You will first want to export your contacts from iCloud using the following article:
iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
You will then want to log in to her iCloud account, then import the vCard file that had been exported from your iCloud account:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

Contact duplicate

Hello, I have all my contact duplicate 5 or 6 times... I don't want to sync anymore and even connect my q10 to my computer... How can I erase all those duplicate?
There is no option to select all contact and erase them all at the same time...basic command. I can even think to erase one by one...7.000 contacts
I might think it may come through my gmail account???.
Thx for your help

2. Today on facebook (www.facebook.com) i've added one contact, but it doesn't appear on my facebook contacts on Q10.
There is no refresh buton to refresh my facebook contacts.
What can i do ?
1. Add them back to your Facebook contacts.
2. One way, you can always delete the Facebook account from your Q10, restart, and then add the account.
However, a new address added to the Facebook account on the web should sync to the Q10.

TS4147 merging contact duplicates in address books

I tried merging contact duplicates in my address book thorugh the card- look for duplicates option but it does not seem to recognize any, althoug almost all my contacts are duplicates. Any other suggestions??
Thanks!!
Kris

That command finds duplicates if they are in the Same account, it sounds like you have more than one account, my guess is that you have 2, iCloud and On My Mac, check.

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

Managing duplicate files, photos etc

What programs can i download for my macbook pro that will check for and remove duplicate files,photos etc? Which are the easiest to use?

You want a program that will compare the actual files themselves, not just by their name.
I can recommend DeCloner.
