One contact showing up as two separate names

I have a few contacts in my phone showing up with two separate names. For instance, I have my job listed as 'work' in my phone, but when I call that number or receive a call from that number it shows up on the screen as "Work or Mary".
Also, I had my home number listed as 'Home'. My sibling changed the contact name to 'Birthgivers' and now when I get a call from this number it shows up as 'Birthgivers or Home'.
As far as I can tell the contact only has one name listed. I have edited it several times and am still having this problem.

Same thing here, after hours of playing with it:
One audio book had a box checked "Part of a compilation" and the other one did not.
You'll have to right click each file in the "separate" book one at a time (highlighting more than track one will not reveal the option you're looking for).
Go to "Get info"
Go to the "Info" tab
Check the box that reads "Part of a compilation" (if it's already checked then it's the other book which you'll need to go through each track and check this box)
Also as stated above author and disc name must be the same on all (which can be done all at once).
Voila, all reads as one book now.

  • Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

    When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
         Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
         If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
    Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

  • One photo showed up under two points of interests (POI)

    I imported photos from vienna made with my new Sony DSC-HX5V. Places where assigned through GPS coordinates during import. I did some manual changes to places for photos taken inside buildings. That's fine, so far.
    Then I recognized that some photos were listed under two POIs (forth and last column in places). Here an example:
    Some photos are taken inside the 'Albertina' and I tagged those pictures to 'Graphische Sammlung Albertina' (graphic collection Albertina) which showed up when I search the map. This automatically puts 'Albertinaplatz' (Albertina Place) to the place information too. I could see this in the extended photo information. This also happens if I put a new pin to the the same place on the map.
    That's not far away, because the Albertina-building is located at the Albertina Place, but it is not correct.
    Other photos I made inside the 'Schatzkammer' (treasury) and where manually tagged got the second POI of the 'Spanische Hofreitschule' (Spanish Court Riding School). That's nonsense.
    Is there way to remove the second POI from the places information, to get rid of this problem?

    If you want to share your Aperture Library, you will have the least problems with alternatingly accessing it from different accounts, if your Aperture Library resides on a separate disk, or disk partition. A "Shared Folder" may be problematic - there have been issues with wrong access control lists and apparently unsupported video Re: Aperture cannot read newly imported video since Lion upgrade.. If you put your Aperture library on a separate disk (or partition) you should set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag for this volume, and then your wife and you should be able to read and write the Aperture  Library without problems.
    Also, an Aperture library needs to be located on a local, MacOS Extended formated volume, and the performance is best, if the volume is internal, not external. Is it possible to add a second internal disk to your iMac?
    I am sure you know, that Aperture is a single user application; so only one person at a time should access your Aperture library.
    Good luck!

  • One audiobook showing up as two

    I have a couple of books that I ripped from CDs into iTunes. Even though the album name, artist name, etc. is identical, they're showing up as separate books. Disc 1, 2, 3, and 7 are in one book and Disc 4, 5, 6, and 8 are in another. This happens with some books and not others.
    Any ideas? It's so annoying!

  • IPhone contacts show businesses by person's name

    I am having a problem with the phone contact list on my phone. The contacts are copied via iCloud from my desktop. I have a number of entries which are "duplicates" but one is by the person, one is by the business name (check box next to "company" to signify that they should be listed by the company name rather than the persons first, last name). On my desktop Address Book they display properly. On the iPhone, it seems that the display by company name is not an option, so they end up displaying twice as the persons name. Is there any way to change this on my iPhone so that it respects the display by company name setting which is in the deskotp Address Book?

    As far as I know, the iPhone displays all contacts by name when a name exists in a contact. The only time it displays the Company Name is when there is no person's name associated with it. You can work around that by putting the person's name in the Notes field and just having the Company name in the contact, however that would defeat what you are doing on the computer.
    You can suggest a change to Apple via feedback at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • We have three Apple devices. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address will they create two separate Notes flies on the cloud or merge?

    We have three Apple devices 2 IPhone 4's and one Ipad2. Only the Ipad2 is running the latest OS. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address (we don't have one yet) will they create two separate Notes flies on the Cloud or merge them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Separate Apple ID's will result in separate notes. However when you first start with separate ID's unless one of you erases the notes you have, you will both start off with the same set of notes, but from then onwards each set won't sync with each other.

    Hi. I am having an issue with music on my IPod. It would probably be easier to explain my specific issue: I have songs by Band of Horses from Cease to Begin. When viewing my albums through cover flow, it shows Cease To Begin as two separate albums, one with only Islands on the Coast, and the other having Islands on the Coast with 3 other songs. If I delete the album with only one song from my IPod, it deletes the song from the other "album" as well. If I go to "All Songs" by Band of Horses, it only shows one Islands on the Coast, so it is not a duplicate issue. Also, in Itunes, it only shows one album. I just recently updated to iOS5 on my 4th Gen IPod Touch, if that helps.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How to separate them. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

    Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How can I separate them in iTunes???????. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

    The reason you are receiving each other's text messages is because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To prevent this you need to use different IDs.  (Note: you can still share the same ID for iTunes.)  On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
    To migrate your 3GS to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone to your camera roll.  To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Next, if you have any notes that you are syncing with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to email these to yourself so they can be recreated after moving to the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone.  Next, sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account, turn iCloud data syncing preferences and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, if you have merged data in the two accounts that you want to separate you will have to go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

  • Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  Help?

    Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future?  I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture.  Thanks.

    How are you backing up the photos?  The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
    You can use a backup application that does incremental backups.  Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro.  The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job.  Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.  
    OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name.  I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg.  File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com.  Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.

  • One Contact Name Not Showing In Messages?

    Hiya, for as long as I can remember my girlfriends name has not shown up in my messages/recent calls etc - only her number. I've tried deleting the conversation and her contact and re-adding again - didn't work.
    Tried disabling iCloud Contacts sync while doing it, no luck.
    Also tried resetting my network settings and still no luck
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    iPhone 4, 5.1.1

    I've entered it exactly as I have done the other contacts in my phone, with her name in the right fields but where 'Joe Bloggs' would appear in messages or missed calls list, her number does. I've tried it with both '0' and '+44' (im in England). The contact shows up fine in my address book. I've just tried changing her name to 'Joe Bloggs' and it's still not displaying it in messages.
    However I've just added a '1' to the end of her number, sent a message to it and it's displayed her name! So it's something to do with the phone not liking her number...
    It's very, very confusing!
