"If you merge the duplicates, it will sync back to iCloud properly.
From your iCloud connected Mac: Address Book > Card > Look for Duplicates. Then it will ask if you want to merge them."
I just spent most of the evening struggling with this issue, and was making plans to call AppleCare tomorrow or even visit the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. After I found the above quote, I fixed 400+ duplicates in under a minute.

  • How can I get rid of the Unwanted ads that are appearing in my e-mail display

    What appears to be the first e-mail is actually an ad. If I click on it it takes me to a website that is trying to sell me something. I can't get rid of it.

    I'm sorry, can you please respond with more information? I don't really understand your problem. Please try using another browser (Safari, Chrome) to do whatever you were doing. If the problem continues, then this refers to the website that you are connecting to.

  • How do I get rid of the 3D icon that is appearing on my screen?

    There is another post about this but it isn't helpful.
    There is an icon with a cube in it that is appearing in the upper left side of my screen. I can't find any way to turn it off. Every time I try to draw a square using the shape tool, it's in 3D. I don't want it to be in 3D, and I never turned this tool on in the first place. It's blocking my ability to get my work done. Can anyone help me figure it out?
    Much appreciate any guidance.
    Thanks!

    Select the Perspective Grid Tool (Shift + P) and click on the X in the widget in the upper left. That will remove the Perspective Grid.

  • HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

    How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    Right-click or control-click the line and select

    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:

    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How do I get rid of the ugly yellow that is on Mozilla desk top now? I hate it

    how do I get rid of the ugly yellow on my desk top now with mozilla it is so ugly and annyoying? Can I change the color?

    See my second reply here:
    *[[/questions/1038807#answer-670671]] Who took a pee on Foxfire Start page; how get rid of yellow color?
    Mozilla shows snippets on the about:home page to run different campaigns and that changes regularly.
    If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page or if there are problems with a snippet then you can set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    Delete the <b>storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set.
    You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder.
    Close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.

  • How do I get rid of the blue text that says no savings found?

    on every site I use these random words are in light blue and if i roll the mouse over it a small box pops up and says no savings found, in the lower right corner says adfull. Is this a firefox thing ( it doesn't happen on IE) if so how do I get rid of it? It is annoying especially appearing on my game site
    I use everyday.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • How do I get rid of the "white banner" that reads "cut" when in Quicktime?

    I've cut a piece in FCP and exported it as a QT movie....when I view it in QT, stream it on the internet, or view it on my iPod, it has a white banner that reads "cut" how do I get rid of this? And do I need to re-export it?
    Thanks

    while not exporting markers is one way to cure this, it's not very effective if you do want to place your chapter markers in fcp and also maybe place some compression markers. i usually place chapter markers in fcp and don't have an issue with the quicktime text track rearing it's head. do a search in the dvd sp forum, this comes up a lot. here's one thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1088176&#1088176
