Do you have duplicates on the PC in your PIM manager(Outlook or Palm Desktop) or are the duplicates on the Centro only?
If your PC does not have the duplicates, you can sync the Centro with the hotsync manager set at desktop overwrites handheld.
If you have duplicates on the PC, you will need to clean out the duplicates on the PC and then sync with desktop overwrites handheld.

All my photo libraries in my iPhone have duplicate photos since I have installed IOS 6. Please help.

All my photo libraries in my iPhone have duplicate photos since I have installed IOS 6. I work with Aperture 3.3 not iPhoto! Also, most of the photos in my camera library have been deleted without my consent! I'm very ****** about that! Please help.

Photos in Photo Library are the ones that you've synced from your iTunes to your iPad. To free up space, you should delete these photos on your Photo Library since you already have the copies on your computer: Connect your iPad with your computer > Launch iTunes > click your iPad and navigate to Photos window > check Sync Photos from > select an empty folder and click Apply to carry out the syncing. After then, all photos in your Photo Library will be deleted.
As for photos in Camera Roll on your iPad, you should copy them to your computer for backup and deleted the copies on your iPad:Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

Birthday calendar for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
The file is called "Template_File.indd"
So, as discussed the main issues are:
1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Help with delete duplicate locked files

I'm kinda new at this so forgive me if I'm a bonehead.
I made a contribute site, then wanted to disable check in
check out. All the files have duplicate locked files remaining on
server and they take eons to ftp. Is there an easy way to delete
them all? I delete on server and they mysteriously are still there
the next time I reupload files...I first thought it was a DWMX ftp
problem, but same deal with GoLive.
Yipes! Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I have very limited experience with Automator, but my guess is it's not up to the task. I'm trying to do something similar in iTunes but the actions under Finder don't seem to work properly. ( If you select 'Find Finder Items' and set the Whose field to Extension and Is Equal To and use the parameter 'mp3' it seems to work as expected. If you set the Whose field to Name and Ends with it only returns directories.) I'm thinking I need to look into actual scripting. Anyone have thoughts on this?

I have duplicate mail accounts and deleted messages keep redownloading in gmail

I am using Mountain Lion and I have a me.com email account, gmail account, and sbcglobal.net account. I set up my accounts in iMail and I use iCloud, but now I have duplicate mail accounts and every time I delete messages from my gmail account, the next time I go into Mail, all the deleted messages are back in my gmail account. How do I stop this from happening and how do I make it so that I don't have duplicates of everything!

All 3 email accounts show up under Inbox, but all three also show up as iCloud, sbcglobal.net, and gmail. The iCloud account will occasionally get duplicates, the sbcglobal.net account only gets mail that sbcglobal.net has put into a "bulk" folder and seems to be all junk mail and does not show up in the sbcglobal.net inbox account and the gmail shows up in both places, but I can delete messages in the gmail inbox account and they do not download again, but the second gmail account is the one that keeps redownloading the already deleted messages into the gmail "all mail" folder. I have tried deleting the gmail account and have gone to gmail's help page, but they are behind with set up for Mac Mail. The set up is for Mail 3.0 and not 6.2. It keeps downloading over a thousand emails into this gmail "all mail" folder. Is there any way to stop this?

Why Do I have duplicates Files !?

Hi Everyone
I've messed up somewhere.
I've just upgraded to Iphone 4S got Ipad and subscribed to Icloud, within the same week.
Big Mistake!
after trying to organize some files and synchronize my Idevices , my files are a mess !!
1 - I have duplicates music files in the Iphone music Library
2 - I have duplicates apps in Itunes application folder in my mac.
This is probably partially due to the fact I moved the entire Itune folder to nother location ( needed disk space ) although I made sure to relink it via the
Itunes / Preferences / Advanced.
Can Anyone help me sort that mess out ?
Thanks
David

You're not supposed to do it that way...
The way recommended by the support doc ht1449 is that you tell iTunes where you like your media stored from now on, then tell iTunes to consolidate all the media to that new location. Lastly you get to clean up the originals left behind on the source drive.
The way that generally works best is to move the entire iTunes folder to a new location and then reconnect to it by holding down option (shift on Windows) to choose the library.
Do the duplicate entries in your library work, or are some broken? Did you reimport the media folder after moving it?
You should be able to find some useful tools for cleaning up over at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ or there is this post which explains how to remove dupes by hand (and, less usefully for you, the genesis of a Window removal script).

Ios 6 on 4s and now have duplicate and merged contacts

updated to ios 6 on 4s and now have duplicate and merged contacts how do I resolve?

I have a number of clients who have this issue since the iOS6 update (as do I on my personal iPhone). These are the steps I took. The combination is that they were using iCloud / iPhone with their contacts.
Log into www.icloud.com and see if you have any duplicatesI had no duplicates here
Check Outlook (if you use this) to see if you have any duplicatesI had no duplicates here
On your iPhone check to see if you have duplicatesI had duplicates here
On my iPhone, I went to Settings, iCloud, and TURNED OFF the CONTACTS switch. Then it asked me if I want to keep my contacts on the phone... In my case, I did not as I know all of my contacts are stored in iCloud as I've confirmed that in STEP 1 & 2.
In your iPhone, check your Contacts, it should be empty.
Go back to Settings, iCloud, and TURN ON the CONTACTS switch. This will redownload all of your contacts from iCloud without the duplicates.
I hope this helps as this was kind of annoying as there was no reason for my contacts to be duplicated as I did not choose to integrate using the Facebook option.

I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my catalog?

Thanks for the links, Limnos.
If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
username-->Music-->iTunes
HD-->iTunes
I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
- I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
- also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
You say:
/itunes/itunes media/ music
but it is important to note what comes before all that.
There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
Does that give more clarity into my problem?

After using iMatch, I have duplicate music. Is there any way to remove duplicates other than manually? Thx

Hi Jim, I don't understand how this would help me in my situation. I loaded an old project, selected the clip edits that I needed, and then loaded the new project and pasted those edits into it, thus creating a duplicate multi-cam sequence.
Are you saying that before I paste, if I navigate to the old project in the media browser and import the multi-cam sequence into my project, Premiere will merge that with the exact same multi-cam sequence in my new project so that when I paste it won't create a duplicate?

HT201210 Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone. I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts" Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them,

Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone. I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts" Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them, No Go.
Can anyone help?   How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone.

I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

I have Duplicate Contacts on my Mac/iCloud

Hey there..
I am just posting as I am unsure why I have duplicate entries on my contacts list. I noticed when I went to www.icloud.com that I have duplicates there too.
If I delete 1 of every contact on my Mac will it sync to iCloud and delete the contacts there too down to one of each? The reason this started is that while I was on my iPad I noticed that I had linked contacts on my contact list and both the linked ones to the cards on my iPad were on iCloud. I'd like to have only 1 copy on iCloud that feeds all my devices (iMac, MBP, iPhone 4S and iPad 2) ... is this possible? I'd guess then that there would be no unified or linked contacts, right?
Sorry if I'm not making sense but I'm concenred that I fanny about and lose my list. If someone could help that would be great.
Many thanks..
Ricky
