How do I remove duplicate contacts?

My iPad and phone have numerous duplicated contacts. How do I get down to one set without destroying some?
Thanks,

        Having duplicate contacts on your phone can be frustrating ernie1! We are more than happy to assist in removing duplicates the easiest way possible. Did you install an application that caused the contacts to duplicate? What functions were being done on the phone when you noticed the contacts duplicated?

    In some cases, data can appear to be duplicated, but actually your client application or device stored your data in multiple locations or data stores.Instead of attempting to remove or edit duplicate Contacts , you should verify if and how your Contacts are duplicated .

  • How do I remove duplicate contacts on iPhone and iCloud

    I have duplicate contacts in my icloud account.
    How do I get rid of them?

    You can delete the duplicates on icloud.com, or you can try using one of the apps that say they can identify and merge duplicate contacts.  (If you have a Mac, you can do this by opening your contacts and going to Card>Look for Duplicates.)

  • How do I remove duplicate contact groups?

    Somehow I have my email account -and- "Google", yet only one google internet account set up. Both have the same contacts, so I have two appearing for every contact in my book, which is rather annoying. I can not find a way to delete the other account at all.

  • How do you remove unified contacts from iphone4s

    how can you remove unified contacts from iphone4s

    Reading and researching for 6 days.  Apple keeps calling back again and again.  I admire their punctuality but they keep rushing me through the same solutions over and over again.  I am really disappointed that they have an instruction manual they do not diverge fron.  Today was the 4th day they called.  I had deleted my phone twice following their suggestion and reset all settings which brought my iphone back to an awkward, unfamiliar state.  Nothing worked.
    I used all apps that have been suggested here ('Spring Clean' and 'Cleanup').  Did not work. They kept returning a message that said I have NO contacts on my phone.  My correct set of contacts contains 499 backed up on iCloud and of those 388 unfortunately duplicate against themselves thus creating a set of 'Unified accounts'.
    After all this research, inablity to manually delete one by one, back up from itunes during sync, deleting and restoring phone, the app that worked for me is called 'MultiDelete'.  I found all the apps, did a test drive on a couple and worked.  Applied to all.  All contacts were erased.  Turned iCloud contacts back on... I still am in awe. Very please and surprised that a problem I have had for more than a year is resolved!
    No more duplicate contacts when calling from Viber, Skype and any other contact-related app! Yes!

  • I have more than one photo backup on my computer now itunes has downloaded three of each photo. How do I remove duplicates

    I have more than one photo backup on my computer now itunes has downloaded three of each photo. How do I remove duplicates?

    Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
    Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
    Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
    You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

  • How do i remove duplicate songs on my ipod and in my library

    how do i remove duplicate songs on my ipod and in my library

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    Fix the library, then syncing should fix the device.

  • How do I remove duplicate songs in itunes 11

    How do I remove duplicates songs inside of iTunes 11?

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.
