Hi,
There is a cool easy to use iPhone app for erasing or merging duplicates and similar contacts:

  • TS4147 I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are no duplicates in ICloud or in Outlook.  Can I just delete the iCloud account on my phone and then let it refresh my contacts?

    I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are not duplicates in Outlook on my PC or in iCloud.  Can I just remove my iCloud on my account and recreate it so that the contacts refresh?

    Be sure that you don't have syncing turned on in iTunes, otherwise you'll get data from both iCloud and the iTunes connection.

  • I have many duplicate contacts on my iphone and want to delete them all at once and sync with my mac that has the contacts correct.  Is there a way to delete them all from my iphone?

    I have many duplicate contacts on my iphone and want to delete them all and start over by syncing to my mac's address book.  Is there a way to delete the contacts all at once?  I started icloud and the iphone caused duplicates there also. 

    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.

    Hi Kinnera2740,
    On the old phone go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  Are there any email accounts listed here?  Such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc?
    If so, tap on each of them and check the 'Contacts' option.  If it is turned on, this means that contact syncing is enabled for that account and that your contacts may already be synced to that mail account.
    Also check Settings > iCloud and look for the 'Contacts' option.  Is it enabled?  If so, then it is possible that some contacts could be synced to your iCloud account as well.  You can check to see which contacts are in which account by going to the Contacts app on your old phone and pressing the 'Groups' button in the top left corner.  You may see several groups here.  Uncheck all groups and then check each group one at a time to check and see how many contacts are synced to each account.  You may need to add the same mail accounts to your new phone and enable contact syncing to have the contacts from the mail servers sync down to the new phone.

    Backup then restore the device...
    If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I have 200 contacts on my iPhone and iPad to remove How do I do it?

    I have 200 contacts on my iPhone and iPad to remove How do I do it?

    You want all contacts on each device deleted, or you have more than 200 contacts on each device and want only 200 out of XXX contacts deleted?
    If the latter, delete the contacts from the address book app on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts followed by a sync with each device.

  • How to Sync contacts between iPhone and Mac pro using iCloud?

    Like many other people i have set up both my iphone and my Macbook Pro 13' on the same icloud account and yet my contacts on my phone are not transfering over to my computer propperly? They usually dont go on at all or they go on but not fully. (ie: cell number missing, or email is missing.) This has frustrated me ever since icloud came out, and i have ended up emailing every single one of my contacts from my phone to myself so that i can get them on my computer. If anybody has had this problem or has any suggestions i would be happy to hear.

    Depends how you sync.  If using iCloud, set it in the iCloud settings on the phone.  If syncing with iTunes, set in on the Info page of your divice in iTunes

  • How can I have unified contacts across outlook, iphone and gmail?

    I am new to iPhone and cannot seem to get something that I really enjoyed on my blackberry, unified contacts across all three platforms.  I use Outlook for work and Gmail for personal.  I had it set up on my blackberry that I had one set of contacts, not separated by outlook or gmail.  The goal was to have the same set of contacts in all three places.  Any changes made in any place, outlook, gmail, or blackberry, was reflected in all three places. 
    Is there a way to do this on the iPhone?  I had set up my iPhone to sync with gmail and outlook, but it created two sets of contacts, so when I searched for a person, it would show two or more records.  I just want one contact list.  Is there a way to turn off the contact seperation and just have one list?  I just want to be able to make a change in any of the three places and have it reflected across all three. 
    I have both work and gmail set up via exchange for push email and syncing.

    The contacts had to be separated on your Blackberry but were viewed as combined, which is possible with the iPhone's Contacts app.
    With my iPhone, I sync business contacts over the air with my company Exchange account, and I sync personal contacts over the air with iCloud account - former MobileMe account. My personal iCloud contacts are also synced with the Address Book on my Mac and I would be doing the same with my Exchange business contacts but we aren't using a compatible Exchange Server software in order for me to do that. If I was doing so, my business contscts and my personal contacts would be separated in the Address Book on my Mac and I would have the ability to view business and personal contacts combined or separately as I can with my business and personal contacts on my iPhone.
    Does Outlook support syncing your Gmail online contacts so your personal contacts would be kept synchronized between the three - Outlook, Google online address book, and your iPhone?
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with your iPhone and syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process, the contacts will be duplicated on your iPhone - one set stored locally, and one set stored in the online address book for the email account.

  • Contacts no longer in sync between iPhone and Mac after creating iCloud email address

    A few days ago, I was asked (by iCloud) to create an iCloud email address because it would be "better" than the email address I've been using. Since then, most of my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 4s. I have noticed that the newest contacts are still on my iPhone, while all my other contacts are on my Mac and on iCloud.com.
    How do I merge the two so that I don't lose any of the contacts and get them all in sync? 
    On my MacBook Pro, l have OS X v10.9.1, System Settings for iCloud checked for Contacts.
    On my iPhone 4S, I have iOS 7.0.4, System Settings for iCloud ON for Contacts.
    iCloud account on both devices is the same AppleID, which is my old AppleID, not the new @iCloud.com
    My Hotmail email account has also been screwed up since this change. It keeps downloading the same messages over and over again and when I try to delete them, it tells me it is unable to move the messages to the mailbox trash.

    Welcome to the Apple Community BratTheCat.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    iCloud doesn't change anything to do with non iCloud content, contact hotmail to resolve your hotmail problem.
