I have multiple duplicate of contacts in my iPhone. Currently stand at 6000 plus
I have multiple duplicate of contacts in my iPhone. Currently stand at 6000 plus & iPad has 24,000 plus contacts. Help.
Bummer.
Sounds like you've managed to create a sync loop. Look at what you're syncing them with. Make sure you're not syncing them to a cloud service that's also syncing to an address book that's syncing to another cloud service that's syncing to the phone... etc. -
syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help
I have the same problem with podcast playlists. When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone. I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store. They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1? -
My hard drive crashed and I am using a different machine. How do I retrieve my personalized Pages 5.2 templates from my backup drive? I have searched at length and can't seem to find them.
login_directory = /Users/yourname
If the Library folder is not shown in your login directory, then open a Finder window, and press command+J. This will open a Finder View Options panel. On it, there is a selectable entry to Show Library Folder. Once this is selected, the Library folder will appear. Now, follow the instructions in my May 6 post. You will have to right-click on com.apple.iWork.Pages and choose Show Package Contents, before continuing.
Correction: login_directory/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Pages/Data/Library/Applicatio n Support/User Templates/
The host software persists in changing the correct Application Support text above to Applicatio n Support, which does not exist. -
Does anyone know what "other" means in the sync summary bar? I have 850mb using storage space in my iphone and can't understand what that is. I have tried to delete everything, restore to factory settings and change the icloud account. Thanks.

Sir I have lost my all contact from my iPhone 4s, can we get them back
Dear Sir,
I have lost my all contact from my iPhone, Can we get them back. If yes then HOW ?
and second thing is that my email icon is not being open please help.
Thanks
Raghvendra PandeyThere are two ways to have photos on the iPhone. First is the camera roll, these are the pictures you have taken with the iPhone camera. The second are pictures that are synced to the iPhone through iTunes from the computer you sync with.
The pictures in the camera roll are designed to by imported to the computer just like photos taken with any digital camera. They are not designed to be only stored on the iPhone.
If you imported the pictures to the computer or performed a backup of the iPhone prior to the attempt to upgrade software on the phone,all you need to do is restore from a backup. If you did not create a backup, you can look for the last backup you made if the pictures would have been included in that backup. Unfortunately, in that last case, you will also lose everything you have done since that backup.
If you have been backing up or syncing with iCloud, the pictures should be there. If you have not done any of the above, the pictures are lost. -
It would seem that someone or Isomethng is working against me. I cannt sync at the offce t want just use my google contacts and I cloud does not let you set anyhing. Just make it work. If Itunes had a contacts manager in it all would be well in Iworld.

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.

I have many duplicate songs in my iTunes. Is there a way to quickly delete all duplicates without having to manually delete all of them?

http://www.araxis.com/find-duplicate-files (commercial, free trial) - finds duplicate files on computer, not specifically iTunes
I would do it manually. As you can see from turingtest2's post, some duplicates are not really duplicates.
I would also review how you add media to iTunes. It should not be producing all that many duplicates. -
I have many duplicates of my pictures on iPhoto there an easy way to delete these?
I have many duplicates of my pictures on iphoto Is there an easy way to delete these, 23,000 pictures would take years to go through.
Where are you seeing these duplicates? In the iPhoto window or via the Finder? If it's the Finder then you don't have true duplicates. Each photo in iPhoto will have a minimum of two copies often three. Then there will be additional faces images for each photo.
If you truly seeing duplicates while viewing in the iPhoto window there are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
Duplicate Annihilator
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates
However, do not ever remove files from iPhoto using the Finder. That will corrupt the library.

gentlemen, i am not able to sync all my contacts on my iphone to Microsoft outlook. i have 396 contacts on my iphone and only 385 in my outlook. can you please help?
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. -
Many Duplicate Files! What is the best way to get rid of them?
I have many duplicate files from having to reinstall Leopard twice in two months on my Desktop. Is there a program that I can use to help clean up my hard drive? All these files are using up a lot of space and are getting annoying. I do not want to go through the files one at a time to delete. Thanks. I know about Spring Cleaning (I think that is what it's called) but was wondering if there were any other programs out there.
Hello, TinkerTool and OnyX both have features to delete old folders, caches, previous iTunes libraries. You can find them on Apple's download site, just write them in the search window. You can also google in "clear duplicate files" and include your Mac model and find even more. The two I offered you to look at are fee and trusted. Use them with care.

ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac contact-list. Please Help!!!! thanks
First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If most of them are gone, then they are gone.
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.
