IPhone has Duplicate bookmarks in Safari after initial sync.

I think that this is a .Mac problem, but I thought that I would ask here as well since it has been 24 hrs since I sent .Mac a query.
After I activated the iPhone, it synced and my Safari bookmarks were synced as well. As it did earlier last week, the sync process put two of every bookmark folder on my iPhone. That is the reason I think it is a .Mac problem, not an iPhone problem.
Has anyone else ran into this or know how to fix it? I have nearly 5000 bookmarks and now show 9800 plus bookmarks.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lewis

I have a workaround to this issue...I created folders for my bookmarks and then saved my key bookmarks in those folders.
No more strange "My Account" bookmark

Vicki

    Are you using iCloud? If so, go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Calendar. Select to delete the Calendar info. Wait a minute and then turn Calendar back on.

    My iphone has lost all data when trying to sync with my computor.
    I have an pad with most info on, but not keen to sync with that incase that data gets lost!
    I joined icloud but cannot retreive from there as its not accepting my icloud account! Help!
    If I sync phone with ipad is it likely to work safely to retrieve info as both are apple devices?.

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

  • When i sync my iphone 3gs, my itunes hangs up after itunes sync the apps, so i can't pup music on my divice

    When i sync my iphone 3gs, my iTunes hangs up after iTunes sync the apps, so i can't put music or videos etc. on my divice...
    Why is that so

    Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Bookmarks in Safari after 1.1.1. update?

    Hello fellow IPhoners!
    I just upgraded my IPHONE to 1.1.1 and now something strange is happening with my safari bookmarks. I was moving them around a bit to make them more organized along the lines of what they are and how often I'd use them. And now there is a new bookmark there called "My Account" but it can't deleted and it seems to cover up a bookmark that I created in Safari on the phone. It's not the one that comes standard on your bookmark list that is associated with AT&T.
    Has anyone else seen this after the 1.1.1 update?

  • How do I remove duplicate bookmarks in Safari

    I have literally hundreds of Duplicate bookmaks in Safari. in some cases 5 or 6 for the same site.
    How do I remove them.
    Thank you.

    One way of alphabetize Safari's bookmarks:

    Also:
    Have a look at Bookdog:
    http://sheepsystems.com/products/bookdog/
    Alternatively try the 'quick n' dirty way':
    Drag the folder with the bookmarks to your Desktop and the Finder window will automatically alphabetize the bookmarks. Then drag it back into the Safari window.
    For those running Snow Leopard OS  or later versions of OS X there is SafariSort:

  • IPhone 4 & iTunes 10 won't sync Google contacts after initial sync

    I've set up and successfully synced iTunes 10.0.1.22 with my Google contacts and iPhone 4 once initially. When I change or revise my Google contacts either online with Gmail/Google or on the phone and re-sync nothing updates. New phone contacts don't update to Gmail nor does new Gmail contact info sync and update to phone.
    Music, pictures, ringtones and apps all update and sync fine.
    I do have the sync set to Google and have authenticated the account and password for Google.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue where new contacts are not updated on iphone or google accounts, it seems the contacts do not automatically sync when checking mail. I previously used an android phone which synced all google data easily, though this remains a bug with apple iphone.
    *Google contacts are only updated and synced when you connect your iphone to itunes and re-sync contacts.* This does not happen through 'push' notifications or syncs with google mail.
    Shame, for such an expensive mobile, there are more faults with it than publicised. I've been an apple user for more than a decade, so many people were saying how amazing iphone is, though my experience has shown it still has many bugs to solve. Android completes some tasks much better than an iphone, where iphone excels in others. You can't have it all.

    You will need to unsync it.

  • Outlook 2010 will not sync with iCloud after initial sync

    Hi guys, the basic summary is that after upgrading from a mobile me account to icloud (using a me.com account), I was able to sync everything from Outlook to the customer's iPhone but anything created after that would not sync. I tried creating a contact, calendar item, and other calendar items, none of which showed up either way (outlook to phone and vice versa).
    Here are all the details that may be needed to assist with this question (and thank you!)
    The account was upgraded from mobileme to iCloud, then outlook was upgraded from 2003 to 2010.
    OS is Windows 7 64 bit
    Outlook has 2 data files which hold all the contacts/calendars/tasks.
    I had to add the me.com email to outlook so that it would perform the initial sync.
    After the initial sync, all calendars, contacts, etc were moved to deleted items (which I think may be normal). I just moved them back to one of the pst files.
    At this point, creating an item in any calendar, or creating a contact does not result in that contact/calendar entry showing up on the iphone (or vice versa).
    Outlook does not show "icloud" calendar, only the calendars I previously created, but the iPhone says "All iCloud Calendars" and they list the calendars that we created in outlook.
    Customer says it synced fine when he used mobile me back in the day, and then it stopped so we had to upgrade to iCloud. Any ideas? =/ I spent over an hour trying to figure this one out, even had some brief apple tech help.
    Thank you SO much for your help. I'd LOVE to be able to get this fixed, otherwise I need to start looking into alternatives for syncing iphone with outlook 2010

  • IPhone has deleted all music and won't sync it back??

    I tried to sync a new CD onto my iPhone, and it would not appear on my phone. When i clicked on the 'Music On My Device" tab on iTunes, the songs were in grey with a circle next to them.
    I then tried to play a pre-existing song on my phone, but my if i click on a song, it gets wiped from my phone! (It is not totally deleted, but is written in grey with a circle next to it). So all of the songs on my phone have deleted themselves, and iTunes will not sync them back on.This does not affect Purchased songs.
    I hoped that the iOS 8.1 update would have fixed this, but alas it has not. Please help!
    (I sync my phone onto a mac, which is updated with OS X Yosemite, 10.10)
    (I have an old iPod touch which has iOS 6. something, and it is not affected by this problem- i have synced it fine)

    I work in an office that is behind several concrete walls and gets very poor signal.  Everyday I will lose my cell signal and when going back outside I am unable to reconnect to network without either turning on/off airplane mode, or turning phone off and on.
    Took phone to Apple store, along with video of problem, and was given a new phone.  Problem still exists and was told to set up phone as new iphone.  Again did this and problem still exists.  When leaving office phone shows edge service and the bars litterally bounce from 1 - 5 and the "E" will turn into a circle like bullseye back to "E" and then just keeps doing this till reset.
    Never an issue with 4 or 4s.  About ready to say to heck with iphone and move to the dark side with an android Galaxy S3.
    Also have had issue when entering elevators at hospital.  THis can be a huge issue as I am a firefighter/emt and all calls come across our phones now.
    Any ideas from anyone....apple has been less than helpful

  • Finding duplicate bookmarks In Safari 5

    After upgrading to Lion and iOS5, I get duplicate, triplicate, and so on numbers of the same bookmarks.  Is there an easy way to find dupes in order to delete them.  Since there is no way to sort bookmarks, I'm stuck.  Help, someone.

    I found two ways of sorting bookmarks:
    Take one or more bookmark folders and drag them to your desktop.  This puts them into Finder and automatically alphabetizes them.  From here you can also delete duplicates, rearrange, etc.  Since I had thousands of duplicates, this was ok but would take a long time.
    2.  I eventually found a little program, Bookmacster, for all osx versions and bought it after trying it and being delighted.  It cost $22.95 and is worth every penny for someone with my problem.  The website is:  http://www.sheepsystems.com/products/bkmx/  The developer is helpful, too.
    Since I'm no longer so ignorant about how iCloud works, the duplicating bookmarks problem shouldn't return.  If it does at least I have Bookmacter to help.

  • Why do I have duplicate icons of Safari after Lion install?

    I recently installed Lion and later found out that Safar, DVD Player, Photobooth, and Preview all have duplicate icons. One seems to be the older version while the other is the newer version with the new Full screen feature. Just to note, all those apps were in folders before I installed Lion but now I can't even take them out of the folder. I says I can't modify or delete them since OSX needs them. what do I do?

    I had the same problem.  Then I went into my applications folder and found older versions for the same app; i.e. Pages and Keynote.  Once I deleted the older versions, (this does not delete anything you created from them since they would transfer to the most recent version) I went into Launchpad and saw that the old icon's were gone.  Pretty simple procedure. 

  • DUPLICATE BOOKMARKS IN SAFARI

    I am trying to condense my bookmarks and remove the duplicates.  I have rearranged and used edit>delete to no avail.  One suggestion was to use leftclick >delete but left click is not responding.  I am using OSX.7.5.  That is as high as my macbook can go.

    By chance are you using iCloud to sync your Bookmarks?
