How do I stop dulicate contacts being created everytime I sync with Goggle?

Hi Everybody,
     Newbie to this forum so bear with me.
     I started with no contacts on Google and 84 on my iPhone4 16GB. Sync'd with Google, after two sysncs I have 207 contacts on the iPhone and Google, most of which are dulicates of the original 84.
NOTE: I did not edit any contacts between syncs.
NOTE: 207 is not a multiple of 84, each time I sync, certain of the contacts are duplicated, not all of them. I have one contact that is just a name, no other information. It has been duplicated every sync.
I am syncing to Google via iTunes (10.3.1.55) on a Windows XP (Service Pack 3) laptop.
     Sincerely R A Evans
P.S I don't know how to find the OS on the iPhone. It's brand new though.

deselect what you don't want on your iDevice in iTunes. more information here.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

    Unfortunately No.
    But the future releases may have that option.

  • How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

    How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

    I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
    I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
    I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
    I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)
