Getting duplicate contacts on my Z10

I have a BlackBerry Z10 and suddenly in the past two days the Contacts app started showing duplicate contacts. I am not sure what caused this, can you help me please because it is so annoying 

Hi gov000,
So that we can assist you better, could you please provide a bit more informatioin?
What is the full version of your BlackBerry 10 OS?
Are the contacts from your SIM card, were they created on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone only, or were they added via an email account?
Were these contacts previously merged and unlinked manually from the BlackBerry smartphone?
I look forward to your response.

    Also, I notice you have your phone number listed in your profile. It is unwise to post your phone number there for all the Internet world to see and possibly harvest for spam use. At the top of the page click on My Settings and go to personal information and remove your phone number.

  • I keep getting Duplicate Contacts

    I have had my iphone for over a year now. I just recently bought an iMac and tried syncing it to the iMac. I used to us Vista on a laptop with out this problem. I had hundred of contacts with vista and the iphone.
    In itunes on the imac I selected. my phone> info> contacts> then checked sync address book contacts. I got a questions but know do not remember what it was about. I then synced and most of the contacts duplicated. Then on another sync they all duplicated.
    I removed all contact and thought I will just start over fresh. On the imac I went to contact and put in three people then synced the phone. Now on the phone I have 2 of each contact. What is going on?

    In itunes on the imac I selected. my phone> info> contacts> then checked sync address book contacts. I got a questions but know do not remember what it was about.
    If there are contacts available in the supported address book application on your computer and with your iPhone, you should be provided a merge prompt with the first sync of this data, or replace on your iPhone with what is available in the supported address book application on your computer. Either way, contacts should not be duplicated on your iPhone.
    Were the contacts duplicated on your iPhone only, or with the Address Book on your Mac also?
    Try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application in your Applications folder.
    If no change after doing so, restore the Address Book contacts on your Mac - hopefully you created a backup of the Address Book on your Mac before deleting all contacts from the Address Book. Get the contacts in the Address Book on your Mac correct. Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone. Select Apply followed by a sync.

  • Syncing iPhone 4 with Outlook & getting Duplicates Contacts

    I am syncing an iPhone 4 using a PC with 2003 outlook. Problem is that some of my contacts are showing duplicates on the iPhone when there are no duplicates in outlook. I have tried several things that have been suggested by others including wiping out contacts on the phone. Deleting all by archived PST files, creating a new PST file and deleting the original. What is perplexing is that if I delete one of the two duplicates off of the iPhone then when syncing it takes the original only copy off of the PC in outlook. Driving me crazy. iPhone & iTunes are up to date as of last night.
    Thanks

    Update, it looks to be sync'ing, just not with my folders.  So I deleted the 4,000 blank vCards.
    There is another twist to this that I had not mentioned.  My folders were erased on my iPhone thanks to a Google/Gmail contacts sync.  However, my folders are still very much intact on Outlook.  In fact, that's how I noticed it was actually sync'ing.  I added four new contacts yesterday to my iPhone, and all four showed up in the folder I set up for "Outlook folder to add new items to:" via Sync Services.
    So it syncs with THAT folder.  : )
    So how do I get it to sync my folders from Outlook to my iPhone?
    I'm thinking of exporting from Outlook to Address Book.  If I export that would give me a back up copy.  Delete contacts in Address Book (if that's simple to do), then importing from the Outlook file...sync.  Maybe?

  • Getting duplicate contact info on my iphone 4s when syncing with outlook 2010

    I'm having duplicate phone numbers show up on my iPhone 4s when I sync to my Outlook contacts via iTunes.  I've tried deleting the duplicate on my phone, but then when I go back to Outlook contacts I find the phone number has been deleted.  Any ideas?

  • HT1296 When syncing to ipod and ipad i get duplicate contacts and calendar events

    Probllems syncing contacts and calendare events. I get dups and triplicates

    How are you syncing? Are you syncing through itunes, icloud or both? Most issues come from syncing the same data/content from more than one source.

  • HT1430 I am getting duplicate contact entries of the same person, sometimes up to 10 duplicates. How do I control this?

    How can I prevent myiPad contact app from collecting duplicate entries?

    once you finalize the addressing the list disappears, so how can is affect the subject . For that matter is disappears when it looses focus.
    I have heard of a bug that selects the name that is highlighted when the mouse leaves the selection box if no address is selected. Perhaps that is your issue. Until the issue is fixed I suggest you use tab to leave the address box

  • I have a PC , iPad, iPhone 4S . Some how I have duplicate contacts on my I phone, how do I get ride of the duplicates

    How did I get duplicate contacts on my iPhone ? How do I get ride of my duplicates.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I can't fully tell from the information you have provided, but I suspect your duplicates resulted from having one set of contacts in your "iCloud "account and another set of contacts in your "on my Mac" account.
    I further suspect that you have then deleted the contacts from your "Icloud "account, and thereby removed them from all devices. You now need to copy the contacts from your "on my Mac" account back to your "iCloud" account and delete the originals from your "on my Mac" account. You can do this by selecting groups, selecting your "on my Mac" group, and then selecting all the contacts within it and dragging them onto your "iCloud " account.
    You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book before adding the contacts back.

  • Icloud sync created duplicate contacts...can't get rid of them

    Ever since I began syncing my iPhone via iCloud, multiple entries have popped up in my Contacts.  In some cases I'll have 4 or 5 duplicate Contacts when I started with just one.  I tried deleting them manually (which took forever) but they just come back.
    I tried shutting off iCloud sync and doing it the old way, but I realized that many contacts were missing.  (i.e. I must have deleted them from locations other than iCloud, and that's the only place where they reside now.)
    I feel stuck.  This is very frustrating.  iCloud was supposed to make my life easier and it's screwing things up.  Any suggestions?
    PS - I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.4 and an iPhone 5.

    My Contacts Backup Pro has a 4+ rating, but it's up to you if you want to try it or not.  If you haven't done so already, you might want to take a look at Apple's KB article on duplicate iCloud contacts: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147.  It's not a very common problem, and can be caused by things like attempting to sync contacts with both iCloud and iTunes.
    If you have cleaned up your contacts only to see duplicates reappear on their own, you might need to get iCloud support to help you with this one as it's a rare problem.  Then may need to have a senior engineer take a look at your account to determine what's causing it.

  • TS4147 I deleted what I thought were duplicate contacts and now they're gone, how can I get them back?

    My address book on the mac showed duplicate contacts so I started to delete them. I deleted A-C. However, on icloud.com, they were not duplictaed and now all of my A-C contacts are gone. How can I get them back?

    I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....

  • How do I get rid of the duplicate contacts on my iPhone?

    I just transferred my 3Gs apps and data to my new iphone5.  The contacts are now duplicated (a few times each) and are not identical.  I am using OS X version 10.8.2 with itunes and icloud.
    Any ideas how to merge or remove the unwanted contacts?  What causes this duplication?
    Any input would be appreciated!

    Duplicate contacts is usually caused by user error due to syncing between iTunes and iCloud simultaneously.  Turn off sync between either iCloud or iTunes and the duplicates should be removed.

  • I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please researc

    I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates.  There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work.  I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently.  Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates.  I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

    Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

  • Two iPhones, 1 iTunes account, 2 iCloud accounts - still getting duplicate texts

    Hi everyone,
    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4, my husband has an iPhone 3 and has finally updated his software to iOS 6.1.4 as well (he hadn't updated it since he bought it years ago). We have the problem of duplicate text messages - my phone now thinks its his phone (ie I've lost my contacts, but have all of his) and when I send him a text, he gets it but so do I. It also comes up on our iPad. I thought it was perhaps an iCloud account issue so made a second iCloud account and logged into that on my phone but it hasn't helped.
    The duplicate messages are driving me crazy - how do I stop them?
    Thanks,
    Sarah.

    I have the same question.  My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate?  I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options.  How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account?  Please help

  • How can I add duplicate contacts on my iPhone

    I know that the majority of related Qs on here are about deleting duplicated contacts; and yes that can be a pain, but I want to go the other way.
    After I have spent ages filling in all the contact ino for someone [workwise etc], I often need to have another person from that same organisation. OK, so the name and SOME info is different, but at least 50% is relkative.
    Can I duplicate the original entry and then amend the copy to get the new contact without just entering the WHOLE thing again ?

    Thank you randers4 for answer above. I highly recommend using the info. in the two apple links below:
    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support  and
    If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
