How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

  • Can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Hi. Can I use my iPhone without causing internet-costs? I have got a prepaid-card and my iPhone uses the internet all the time - that costs a lot of money. So can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Find My Phone REQUIRES an internet connection in order to work. Either WiFi or Cellular Data. So, if you turn off Cellular data, you're defeating Find My Phone.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from becoming a brick because it loses service.

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5, currently with iOS 8 GM, and the problem with my iPhone is after maybe 5 minutes of being locked, if you turn it on, it loses service, or drops down to 1 bar (circle) says "Searching..." Then after 30 seconds, I will get service again. It does this 9 out of 10 times I want to use my phone. But that part isn't the issue, the issue I'm having is, with iOS 8, if it loses service for a while, I get a "Activation Required" and I can't use my phone at all until I reactivate it. Not a problem if I'm around Wifi, it takes 4 seconds to activate it. BUT, I'm not always around wifi and I can't use Cellular Data to activate it. I get a "Could not reach activation servers" or something. So my question is, what can I do about this? Besides getting a new phone, I already preordered the iPhone 6, and that could take 2-6 weeks to replace this phone. Is there some setting that is blocking it from activating on Cellulor Data? Can I permittatly keep it activated? Anything that will stop the phone from becoming a brick 2-4 times a day.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan.

    I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...
    I just thought I missed a software setting that would block activating on Cellular Data or something similar to that.

  • How can I stop my iphone from signing my emails "Johnny Appleseed"?

    When I send an email from my iphone it identifies the sender as "Johnny Appleseed" causing much confusion, how do I stop this?

  • How can I stop my iPhone from changing appointment times when I move between time zone?

    How can I correct the automatic date/time updates for daylight savings on my iPhone.  It updates these changes on the wrong dates and sends my calendar into chaos.

    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is Time Zone Support on or off?
    If you don't want the date and time updated automatically with your iPhone, you can turn this off at Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > Off.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from starting to play music in my pocket?

    Almost everytime I get my phone out of my pocket it's playing music! How do I stop it doing this it's always locked before it goes into my pocket.

    It should only do that if you hold down the T key at startup.  Otherwise the PRAM battery is probably near death, or the T key needs to be cleaned so it doesn't think it is being held down.  To clean the keyboard properly, you will probably need to bring it in for service.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from randomly, persistently, making a noise it should not be making?

    This has been happening for about 1-2 months.
    My iPhone makes a sound which is a normal iOS sound, but without any reason for it to be making the sound. It happens randomly, perhaps 1 day per week although when it happens it happens several times in the same day usually, even after quitting all apps / processes and restarting.
    As you can imagine it's not very easy to describe the sound.
    I do have a lot of apps, but there is free space and I'm rarely using more than Safari and/or Mail when it happens. Often it happens when I am just charging or not using the iPhone and there does not seem to be a correlation with power.
    I have tried restarting the springboard and I have tried restoring from prior states. I have also upgraded the software several times since the first time I had this problem. There are no other problems except for some freezing on occassion.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!!

    PS It's a Verizon iPhone 4, 16GB, with the most recent iOS and carrier settings installed, WiFi + 3G

    What's the sound?

  • How can I stop my iPhone from downloading iOS 7?

    I am currently trying to download iOS 7 to my iPhone OTA. However, it seems to be stuck but rather than showing up that an error has occurred, it keeps trying to download. I would like it to stop trying but nothing works. I have tried switching it off and on again and hard reset but when I go back it keeps starting the download again. I'm aware that there are server issues so it may take a while but I would rather try getting it on my computer.
    If anyone can help me

    That seems a really obvious answer but I didn't think of it.
    Thanks!

  • How can I stop my iPhone from Losing space when I STREAM iTunes Movies?

    I mean, isn't the point of streaming so that I don't have to download the movie?  Even if the phone has to download the movie, why isn't there some option to delete the downloaded movie from phone to free up some space!?

    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is Time Zone Support on or off?
    If you don't want the date and time updated automatically with your iPhone, you can turn this off at Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > Off.

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from texting to an email address instead of a phone number? It is not an iMessage account.

    My phone will select an email (not an iMessage account) to send a text to instead of sending it to the phone number.  At times it lets me select one of the two but often does not. Especially in group messages.  Any suggestions? It is getting really annoying.

    I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...

  • How can I stop my iPhone from freezing?

    My friends iPhone keeps freezing, is there a way of preventing this form happening?

    If a reset doesn't help, try these steps as needed, as described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
    1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    3. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware problem in the phone.

  • I selected manually manage music for my iTouch yet it keeps trying to sync to my entire music library.  I do not want that as it is taking up too much space.  How can I stop my iTouch from continuing to try and sync so I can manually manage my music?

    How do I get my iTouch to manually manage my music?  I selected manually manage, yet every time I hook my iTouch to my computer, it attempts to sync and load my entire library.  I do not want the entire library as it takes up too much space and I don't want all of those songs on my iTouch.  What am I missing?  What else can I do? 

    Oops, sorry, I think you probably already did what I suggested (turning off auto synch).
    I have the same question - how to synch, say, just one playlist.
    There is an option to synch only things that are checked. But everything (in every playlist and item, is checked and there doesn't appear to be a box to "uncheck all", nor can you check each playlist individually.

  • How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?
