Stop Contacts duplicates

How do I stop Address Book & iPad Contacts duplicates? Very annoying. iCloud still not ready for prime time?

Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

    Stop syncing them to the same source. If you're sharing an iCloud account with someone, don't do that.

  • Contact duplicate

    Hello, I have all my contact duplicate 5 or 6 times... I don't want to sync anymore and even connect my q10 to my computer... How can I erase all those duplicate?
    There is no option to select all contact and erase them all at the same time...basic command. I can even think to erase one by one...7.000 contacts
    I might think it may come through my gmail account???.
    Thx for your help

    There is no refresh buton to refresh my facebook contacts.
    What can i do ?
    1. Add them back to your Facebook contacts.
    2. One way, you can always delete the Facebook account from your Q10, restart, and then add the account.
    However, a new address added to the Facebook account on the web should sync to the Q10.

  • TS4147 merging contact duplicates in address books

    Thanks!!

    That command finds duplicates if they are in the Same account, it sounds like you have more than one account, my guess is that you have 2, iCloud and On My Mac, check.

    That checkmark will only prevent iPhoto from importing exact duplicates - the exact filename, image format, exactly the same size,
    What kind of duplicates are you asking about? Have the files been renamed or converted in any way?

  • Contact Duplicates Keep Reappearing.

    I synced my iPhone with my Yahoo Contact list. I painstakingly deleted and modified all numbers/contacts on my iPhone. I went to re-sync with Yahoo to delete/modify. When I synced, I encountered duplicates on my iPhone. I thought I had read that the newer updates take. Did I do something wrong?

  • Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution to this bug?

    Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution for this bug? It's been 5-months, I currently do not have quick access to a sync, I thought iMatch for Christmas would solve the problem but it appears that doesn't solve anything either....help please! If I listen to my kid's lula-bye song in duplicate for another night I'm going to seriously loose it on Little Boy Peep. Like really Apple do I need to call IN and pay for this problem?

    The possible problem appears to me that songs that were previously loaded onto the iPad device from Mac were duplicated when I started to sync with iCloud. An album will contain one song from the iPad that was originally loaded on sync with Mac and another that will appear either with a little iCloud icon next to the song greyed out or a DUPLICATE song.
    I had hoped iMatch would solve the issue magically, but that does not appear to be the case.

  • How do I stop Contacts phone number reformat?

    Contacts is reformating my telephone numbers. How do I stop that?

    Hello collins57, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like your iPhone contacts have been duplicated. 
    Did this occur after turning on iCloud? If these contacts are duplicated after setting it up, see this article for some helpful steps to resolve the situation:
    If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    If you've backed up contacts a different way, feel free to reply with some more detail about the method you used. 
    Cheers,
    Jeremy

  • How do I stop contacts duplicating

    how do I stop my contact from duplicating every time I sync Iphone

    You probably have duplicate accounts set up in iCloud, this would creat duplicates. I would recommend that you repost in the iCloud on my Mac forum and see if someone can give you some  pointers.

  • Where are Contacts' duplicates stored?

    Whenever I do a Spotlight search for a Contact and then open the found contact from Spotlight, Contacts reports there is a duplicate. It will show it to me if I select show old and show new.
    However, I can't find that duplicate in Contacts if I launch it separately.
    How can I find these duplicate contacts or purge them or do something to clense the Spotlight Contacts file?
    Thank you.

    Anyone?
    I continue to have this problem when doing a Spotlight search for a contact.
    I will find the contact, select it in Spotlight, and then Contacts will open with a report of Duplicates and thus not take me to the selected Contact.
    However, if I stop there and do a search with Contacts for Duplicates, none are found.
    There must be other copies of these Contacts hiding somewhere on my hard drive. I can hover over the different finds in Spotlight and there are in fact different versions of the Contact but no Duplicate when I run Find Duplicates in Contacts.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you

  • ICloud Contacts duplicates first name

    I list my family and close friends by their first names only in my Contacts, leaving the surname field blank.
    Contacts has now started to duplicate their first names into the surname field, so that my wife's entry reads "Fiona Fiona" and my daughter's entry is "Sophie Sophie".
    No matter how many times I change the entry, either on my iPhone or on my Air, the first name keeps appearing in the surname field too.
    Is Contacts unable to deal with entries containing only a first name?
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I fixed my problem with it.  I went to my Mac and it was in the Mail app.
    Open Mail
    From the menu bar select Window
    Select Previous Recipients
    I found the culprit in there.  I don't know how the name got to be the way it was in the first place but I took it out of there and it fixed it.  It stopped messing up my contacts.
    Hope this helps.

  • Contacts duplicate in spotlight search

    Hi there, I googled for this but it seems that I didn't find anything.
    I got a Mobile Me account and my 3GS iPhone is synced with that, on iTunes contacts syncing is turned off and I got only one record for each one in Contacts, so it's ok here, but when I search for a contact on iPhone spotlight it finds two record for each of the person I'm searching for, the same records: one has got the contact icon on the left, the other not.
    I tried stopping mobile me syncing, I synced then with iTunes (contacts sync still off), the contacts has been deleted then I tried searching on spotlight and it could still find the records!!! I waited for about ten minutes but nothing happened.
    I restored mobile me syncing, contacts reappeared and the problem with duplicate contacts in spotlight is always there.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanx
    Fabrizio

    Spotlight searches multiple areas of the phone besides Contacts. A contact name may also appear in email, calendar and Notes entries and multiple hits may display. Each displayed hit shows the source in small font below.
    In Settings > General > Home > Search Results, you can limit and order which categories you want to search with Spotlight.

  • How do I stop contacts updating across two phones?

    Hi
    This is my first post, so please treat me gently
    My partner and me have both just got 3g iphones, we love them but have one slight prob with them.
    When we connect our phones to our itunes account, contact details from both phones are replaced with all the contacts from each of the 2 phones.
    How can we stop this happening? i.e. ensure that my contacts stop on my iphone only and my partners contacts on their iphone only? (and we don't get each others).
    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it when searching.
    Thanks in advance for any help.....
    Rawlad

    Hey Rawlad,
    You can create a folder in Outlook or Windows Address Book and then sync the selected folder.
    In iTunes, just click the iPhone> Info tab> Check sync contacts> Selected groups.
    You can also Reset the Sync History in the iTunes preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
    Resetting the Sync History would would make iTunes ask if you want to merge or replace contacts.
    Make sure you have at least one contact syncing from the PC before choosing the merge option, so they can merge.
