  • How to prevent duplicate photos when sync

    I have videos and pictures that I want to keep on my phone, however when I sync to nokia suite it will sync the same photos over and over. anyway to prevent this, or do I have to delete them from phone. Also,  same thing with duplicate contacts.
    What is the best way to transfer photos from Nokia suite to disc, or memory card. I have a ton of photos on Nokia suite and want to transfer them to a disc or memory card.

    Create a new folder on your desktop, download the picture files from the CD's, delete the duplicates.
    As I see it, you now have 2 options:
    Burn new CD's or a DVD from the desktop folder as your source, and use the  Editor & Organizer - or
    Use Editor & Organizer, using the desktop folder directly
    Suggest that you stick to one of these options for this group of photos so as not to confuse the path in Organizer.

  • How can I get rid of and prevent further duplicate contacts when syncing?

    I have checked preventing automatic syncing and any other places that seemed to give me some limiting conrol. But I noted the tiny print today that says when syncing by connection with Itunes, mobile me is also in contact wirelessly. I can't see any place mobile me gives me a choice to prevent syncing contacts. I have already spent hours cleaning up the contacts of my iphone 4 and will now have to do it again. Is the only way not to connect to I tunes? How then can you ever get music and other info into this smart phone?

  • How to prevent duplicate contacts show in my iPhone4S after sync with iTune?

    Please help! Can't see any result on the previous posted messages

    Is Sync Contacts with a supported address book app on your computer now deselected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If not, deselect this followed by selecting Apply.
    If all contacts are available in your iCloud online address book, on your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. A warning message will be provided indicating this will remove all iCloud online contacts.
    This will not remove the contacts on your iPhone that were synced direct with the address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
    Turn Contacts back on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account. You should be provided a merge prompt which you want to select.
    This will eliminate the duplicates.

  • How to prevent duplicate contacts on iPhone3S

    I need to find out how to sync my iPhone3S IOS5 with iCloud without crating duplicates.
    It seems like my iPhone/iCloud created one or more extra set of groups, I might need a better set up. Some of the contacts appeared 4 times or more.
    I'll appreciate some good explanations on this issue, please.
    Thanks!

  • How to prevent duplicate logging when using ODL Log Handler.

    Hi,
    I have created a custom Logger for the java classes in my project( using ADF/JDeveloper). I have defined the custom logger in the standard "logging.xml" file.
    For this custom handler I am reusing the ODL Log Handler class "oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory". I am re-using with another name i.e. creating an alias to the default ODL Log Handler to write the logs to my own log file since I am then able to change the log file path in the handler properties.
    The problem I am facing is that ODL Log Handler class is writing to the standard ###-diagnostic.log file also apart from my custom log file. Also, the same logs are being written to the console also.
    I want to store the logs only in my own custom log file and not in multiple locations. What is the way out?
    Also, is it possible to write my own Log Handler class and not re-use the ODL Log Handler class i.e not re-use oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory?
    Regards

    I have figured this out - because the logger's parent has a default ConsoleHandler. After removing the ConsoleHandler from the parent, there is no more cosole output ...

  • When syncing iPhone 4 with new update songs turn into "other" files

    Hello,
    Yesterday i upgraded the iphone software to ios7, after doing this everything was working well but when it tried to sync my music files from itunes it said it was syncing music file until the iphone had synced completely when they turned into "other" files.  I ahve tried restoring it but nothing has worked and it keeps happeneing.  Was wondering if anyone was also having this problem and could point me in the right direction.
    Thank you inadvance.

    So far there is no fix, there are many threads on this topic and many people with this problem. We are all ticked off and Apple needs to fix this ASAP. They don't seem to care.

  • How do  synch new contacts on my iphone 6 with my ipad instantly. Both devices are on cloud

    How can i synch my iphone 6 contacts with my ipad 4th gen as i create them.both devices are on the cloud. Appreciate any help.Fred

    Have you upgraded to the latest iOS 8.2?
    Also, define "instantly". All cloud services have an inherent lag due to a number of factors, link quality/speed being the most predominant.

  • Unknown Error 13019 when syncing Iphone 4 with Itunes

    Hello. I used to have absolutely no problem syncing podcasts/music/videos with my phone. Then one day, my friend came over with his ipod and synced with my library and now it no longer allows me to change those 3 things. It will backup my phone just fine as well as allow me to update my ringtones and update my apps, but I always get that unknown error 13019 right before it finishes syncing and it won't update my library with any changes to music/podcasts/movies.
    I've tried reinstalling and that doesn't fix it. Any help would be fine. Also, the media I had on my phone prior to my friend syncing his ipod stays on my phone to this day, I just can't add to it or change it in anyway.
    Thanks in advance

    Please visit this thread for assistance in resolving this issue.  iTunes 12.1 does not install the Outlook plugin necessary to sync with Outlook.  You will have to revert to an previous version of iTunes, such as 12.0.1.26  Instructions are in this thread.

  • How can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    how can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    On your Mac, for duplicates, switching Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud may prevent duplicates.
    On the iPhone / iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Contacts and Calendars are swtiched on.
    Try restarting your Mac and your iOS devices when items won't sync as they should.
    To restart an iOS device:  Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • How to prevent duplicates in your contacts

    When syncing two iphones via icloud with your computer how do I prevent duplicate contacts between both phones, icloud and yahoo?

    I have 11 people designated under faces.
    Do you see the 11 People when using the "Faces" view from the source list in the Library Inspector or from the "Faces" button in the toolbar?
    If you are using the Faces button from the toolbar, you may have been excluding faces stacks you already created. Then, when you enter search strings, Aperture will suggest names from your contacts and you may create the same stack again.
    Also, if the search field is not empty, you may already have more "Faces" stacks than you are actually seeing.
    As you certainly know, you can always unite "Faces" stacks by dragging a stack onto the other to merge them. The merged stack will use the name of the stack you dragged to.
    Regards
