Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone.  I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts"  Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them, No Go. 
Can anyone help?   How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone. 

I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider

  • I backed up my iPad to the cloud and then had to wipe and restore it. Most of the tings are there but can't find all my photos that I had put into albums. Can anyone help. Only a few of my pics came back on my photo stream.

    Can any one help me find my photos and albums???

    Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you reconnect to photo stream you only get back photos from the last 30 days.  Only camera roll photos are included in the backup.  To save your photo stream photos be sure to save them to your camera roll so they are backed up.
    Photo albums will only be restored if they contain photos from the camera roll.  If they were folders synced to your device from your computer that will not be restored, but will be recreated when you sync with iTunes.  If they were albums that only contained photo stream photos they would also not be restored.

  • When I am abroad (living in Norway) the phone only temporarily  connects to a network. Most of the time is says "no service" in top left corner...I have tried to turn it on/off...with and without sim installed...roaming makes no diff. Can anyone help me?

    When I am abroad (living in Norway) the phone only temporarily (and seldom) connects to a network. Most of the time is says "no service" in top left corner...From advice I have tried to turn it on/off...with and without sim installed...roaming makes no diff. Can anyone help me?

    You're welcome.
    If she has full reception and connection with the same cell phone carrier where you don't - with you both using a SIM card provided by the same carrier while in Norway with an unlocked iPhone, then make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to have a diagnostic test run on your iPhone.
    In the interim, I would contact this cell phone carrier in Norway to ensure your iPhone is provisioned properly. They can run a reset for your account that will require powering your iPhone off, so call them with your wife's iPhone for this.

  • BB 9790 contact list problem

    I just got a new 9790 and moved my data from my old 8520 to the 9790. I had 3 e-mail accounts, one of them is GMAIL ([email protected]). The GMAIL account installed itself as default contact list. I have no other contact lists. I want to get rid of GMAIL as default contact list, but can not find a way without wiping the full 9790 data.
    Is there any way to get a "Defaul" Contact list, a "default" calendar?
    This behaviour is because when you add GMAIL as an e-mail account, there is a very small checkbox that says"set as default contact list", and if you dont read everything carefully, comes pre-checked!! (sneaky on GMAIL, isn't it?)
    Any help will be welcome.

  • Why is my contact list now full of duplicates (and quadruplicates) and what can I do about it?

    Why is my contact list now full of duplicates (and quadruplicates) and what can I do about it?
    Most (but not all) of the entries are duplicated, and some are re-doubled. I suspect this is related to using my iPhone (5S) and my iPad (2nd gen), both using IOS7 and icloud.
    I really don't want to have to delete hundreds of contacts manually, and I'm concedrned they'd just reapear if I did.

    I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!

    Hello Els,
    it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
    To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
    To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
    Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
    And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
    http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
    Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
    http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
    Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
    Good luck!
    Hans-Günter
    P.S.
    Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

    After that happens you can restore from backup.

  • HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

    Why are my Contact listed on my IOS 7.1.2 iPhone 4S in My Contacts as many as 6 times?

    If your settings are correct then the issue maybe with the recipient phone especially if both of your phone sends those pics as green/mms instead as imessage.
