How to avoid getting old contacts added when syncing to a phone?

I'm trying to sync my contacts between Address Book and my Sony Ericsson D750i (identical to the K750i). I have been able to sync contacts (from one group) once successful to the phone. Now when I do another sync after some changes on the Mac, iSync wants to add a large number of contacts to the Address Book. (I suspect that this is related to the message that iSync displays while syncing: "getting contacts from Backup conduit".) When I allow the changes I get a number of old contacts that I had delete a while ago. Some are even corrupted.
How can I avoid this? Is there some additional backup somewhere which I would have to delete?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

i guess i'll just stay on 5.1 and 10.8.1 forever than

How do i get my contacts back without syncing iphone to itunes

Are your contacts synced to icloud? if so use that to create a file which backs up all your contacts and email that to yourself and open the attachment on your phone and import them that way. Go to www.icloud.com and try it

How do i get my contacts from the cloud to my phone?

I erased all of my contacts from my phone on accident. How do I get them from the cloud back to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you deleted your contacts from your contacts app, they will also be deleted in iCloud.
However if you deleted your account or simply turned contacts syncing off, you should be able to log back into your account or re-enable contacts syncing and they would repopulate your contacts app.
Could you perhaps tell us which of these you have done.

How do i get old contacts off of backup assistant plus

my phone was reset so how do i get my old contacts from backup assistant plus. i did not have the cloud set up.

Are you sure the contacts are in the Backup Assistant Plus? It is my understanding that the Backup Assistant has been incorporated into the VZW Cloud.
Could the contacts be saved in your Gmail account instead?

How do I get google contacts to actually sync in 10.9.2

With a recent upgrade to an iPhone 5S, and consequent upgrade of the system on my iMac & laptop to 10.9.2 I cannot figure out how to get my Gmail contacts to sync with my phone, computer and iCloud. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that: 1. the only way to sync contacts on the 5S is via iCloud (I can live with that); 2. contacts on my desktop/laptop will sync with iCloud (so far so good); 3. the latest version of contacts in 10.9.2 will show the contacts on my Google account and my iCloud account (seems fine...). However, it doesn't actually sync the contacts between the two accounts. I've tried adding new contacts on one side, or the other, but no sync occurs. I'm contemplating erasing everything on both sides and starting from scratch (re-importing my saved contacts of course). However, don't really want to do this if it's not going to result in true synchronization. Just in case anyone asks, I don't use the mail app or calendar (use gmail for both and don't care about syncing either to my phone).

I don't use Google, but my understanding is that you can sync google contacts and other services between devices. If this is the case, you would be better off using only google services of your choice and deselecting them from iCloud.

How do I get my contacts from my mac to my phone?

My contacts recently deleted for no reason on my phone. They are on my Contacts in my laptop though. How do I sync the contacts to end up on my phone?

Set up the same iCloud account on both devices and activate Contacts (Mac: "System Preferences > iCloud" and iPhone: "Settings > iCloud"). Make sure that your contacts on your Mac are stored in iCloud and not in the local address book. If this is the case, then just copy them from the local address book to the iCloud address book.

How can I get my contacts back when they didn't copy in a back up or a restore?

I did a complete back up of my songs, photo's and contacts and everything else. When I did the update and sync with new music all of contacts were deleted. When I tried to restore from older backups the contacts didn't return. Help please?

What service do you sync your contacts with? iCloud? Yahoo? Gmail? Once you add that account back to your phone, your contacts should be restored.

How to avoid getting bogus error messages when running a build file?

Consider the following fragment in a build file:
<var name="component.key" value="provisioning.include.atk"/>
<var name="provisioning.include.atk.domain.hostname" value="localhost"/>
<echoNested>component.key.domain.hostname=${${component.key}.domain.hostname}<
/echoNested>
When we run with ant -v
Result:
Property "${component.key" has not been set
[echoNested] component.key.domain.hostname=localhost
Expected result:
[echoNested] component.key.domain.hostname=localhost
Can someone explain why I am getting the message "Property "${component.key" has not been set"?
Thanks,
Prasanna

In your ANT script you can not use "${${" together
Please refer to http://jaysensharma.wordpress.com/2009/12/06/ant_basics/
You can do something like this:
*"build.xml"*
<project name="webservices-complex" default="runSuccess">
<property name="component.key" value="localhost" />
<property name="component.key.domain.name" value="localhost" />
<target name="runSuccess" >
<echo message="${component.key}" />
</target>
<target name="runSuccess2" >
<echo message="${component.key.domain.name}" />
</target>
</project>
