I want to sync my contacts without duplicating them with OS 10.6.8

I have a problem. It seems that I cannot duplicate my contacts without duplicating them. What makes matters worse is that I am using OS 10.6.8, and the Icloud has never worked properly for me. I always wind up loosing the the ability to sync my calendar.
At this time, I cannot up grade my OS with incurring the loss of programs I use everyday for my business due to incompatability issues.
When ever I sync my contacts, they duplicate. I want to sync them, but I don't want to spend hours deleting the duplicates.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks so much!!
All best-
Jane Huntington

use Migration Assistant and everything would work. But it didn't transfer any of my applications.
Just to be clear - you said "Migration Assistant", but did you really use "Migration Assistant" or rather "Setup Assistant"? When setting up a new Mac, you will be prompted after installing the system to transfer your data - and that would be the Setup Assistant. if you first create your account, and then transfer, you will be using "Migration Assistant". The "Setup Assistant" is greatly preferable, since it will keep the identity of the user account.
But it didn't transfer any of my applications.
The Setup Assistant or Migration Asistant lets you choose what to transfer. DId you enable to transfer your applications?
Is your old mac a Power PC? If your applications are still PowerPC applications, they cannot run on a Mavericks system. Try to update as many of your applications as possible to universal binary versions, that can run on Intel macs, before you migrate them to your new Mac. Aperture 3.1.2 will not still not run on Mavericks, even if it is a univaersal binary, but if you get it transferred and installed on your new Mac, you can update it to 3.5.1.
And before transferring your Aperture library, repair it using the First Aid Tools. See the Aperture Release Notes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518

Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts, Is there a way?

I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts on a regular basis, Is there a way?

For a few reasons, I decided to use both services after thoroughly researching this same question about a year ago for myself.
I use iCloud for my "Top 20" or so contacts.   Advantage is that I can sync more phone #'s per contact and get a full screen photo when they call.
I use Google for everyone else.   And only the contacts in My Contacts group will get synched, so I can manage easily how many contacts are on my phone at any time.    Another advantage is that if iCloud ever goes down, or I lose my device, I can easily look up my contacts on a web browser (assuming Google is available 100% of the time)   If I move to another device down the road, all of my contacts can stay on Google.
My google contacts is setup as an exchange account, so updates are pushed to the device as well.   Another advantage to this is that I can "lookup" any contact on my google account that is not part of My Contacts right on the device at will.
The "Top 20" icloud contacts are also on Google, under its own group that doesn't sync with the device, just as a backup.

I want to sync my iphone, ipad, and macbook with the same username and password, is this possible

i want to sync my ipad, iphone, and macbook with the same username and password. is this possible and if so, how do i do it?

You mean with the same iCloud account?
If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

Ok.
Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.

Since upgrade to IOS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3). USB connection is required. Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).

Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging). I have restarted both devices, turned off and on "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over WIFI" and restarted WiFi. WiFi is operating (iPad has no SIM). What next?

I'm also affected by this bug in exactly the same way as you.
Some users have had success by closing iTunes, enetering (on OS 10.9) settings --> network --> edit locations, then create a new location with the same wifi/network settings. Then restarting iTunes.
Others have had some success by editing settings --> iCloud --> de-selecting keychain
neither of these fixes have worked for me.
It appears that the iPad can "see" iTunes running on my iMac because when I open settings --> general --> 'iTunes wifi sync', "sync now" is greyed out if iTunes is not running. When iTunes is started, "sync now" is enabled but just doesn't work. Nor does the iPad appear in iTunes.

You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with "******"?

Why am I getting this error message every time I open iTunes? I'm giving the option of Sync or don't Sync and click sync and there are no problems. But why does it open with: You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with “*****”?

Please sign out of the iTunes Store by selecting
Store ▹ Sign Out
from the iTunes menu bar. Then sign back in.

How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

Hey dthompson2108,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article:

All the best,

How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

~ means your Home directory. Using the command above takes you to the Home directory on the boot drive. Your backup files are now on another drive in a directory that used to be your Home but is now a subfolder of Users so you have to specify that drive after the /Volumes, then the user name, then the rest to go there
I use OSX 10.4.11 and on it the libraries are still visible. There's two at least. One general one at the top level of the boot drive and another for each user (the one with the ~). I think they made at least one of them invisible with newer OS versions.

Execute scripts in your PWD without prepending them with "./"

To execute scripts in your PWD without prepending them with "./", add it to the end of your $PATH:
$ export PATH="$PATH:."
...and, to make it permanent, create an entry in your .bashrc:
$ echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:.\"" >> ~/.bashrc
It won't cure cancer, I just think it's cool

I put all my scripts-in-progress in ~/Workspace/Development/Scripts, and move them to /usr/local/bin when they become "production ready," but every now and then, I create a semi-random folder in which I create a script I only need temporarily; it's nice to be able to quickly create a script and run it with only its name, despite the fact prepending it with "./" only adds 2 more characters.
Arkane wrote:I'd say there still is a risk, because many applications will test for the presence of a helper application simply by trying to call it (for example with -v) and seeing if the command is found. Of course that's arguably bad practice on their part, but it's still pretty common in simpler scripts (I think).
@Arkane, could you give me some examples?
