Thousands of my contacts have the same incorrect birthday: "December 31,2"

I have thousands of contacts, and most of them have a corrupted Birthday field. They all contain this wrong birthday "December 3, 2"
How can I make a bulk correction? I don't have time to change each one individually.
Thanks!

Sorry, I meant "December 31, 2"

Several contacts have the same email address. How can I choose which contact name appears on the address line in Mail?

you can't really, but you might be able to filter them by message content into folders for each, or color them with tags

All my contacts have the same birthday... how to remove them?

HI all,
I have had this issue for a few years... in fact, since the very DAY I switched from Windows to MAC! All my contacts have that date entered as their birthday as well as their aniversary. Sounds funny perhaps but.... is not, really.
How can I just deletes all birthdays and anniversaries in bulk or (even better) only do that for those ocntacts that have that specific date entered as thier birthday/anniversary (as I do have some contacts with correcth birthday which Iñd love to conserve). Thanks.

Thanks Bro. I have backup. and I did the same thing twice but only 26 contacts appear on the device. Now again yesterday after your suggestion again I restored the device but the result was same. Then I thought a new thing. I restored the device one more time but after restoring I didn't configure the icloud account. Surprisingly all my old contacts are there in the device but those 26 contacts are not there. Now I will tell you how this must have happened? I had 3gs earlier. that was stolen 3 months ago. I put the device in lost mode. I purchased new iphone4. I restored with itune. All my data came back. After that I saved these 26 new contacts to my device which also saved in icloud but when I tried to backup on my pc it was not happening. the messege coming device disconnected. 2 days back my stolen device came online. Lost mode was activated by icloud. But what I think in between that time the other fellow must have deleted the phone contacts. And as per icloud also deleted the same. Only the 26 contacts which I saved in these 3 months remained in icloud. Now bro can u help me out? What I should do? I have 26 contacts in icloud and < 500 in my device. I don't understand when all other Co's mobile you can import contacts from any backup file iphone can not. This is the DRAWBACK OF IPHONE.

What can I do, I do not have the same email that is on my iCloud and cannot remember my password, I lost all my contacts and cannot get them back, what can I do?

I do not have the same email address that I did when I started icloud, I do not remember my password and I lost all my contacts with this newest upgrade, it wants e to sign into icloud, but I cant, what can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are saying you can't turn off find my phone because it is still using an old ID, you need to change your ID back to the old address at My Apple ID turn off find my phone then change your ID back at my Apple ID.

How can I do to have the same contacts in all my devices, pc, iPad and iMac?

I have severl devices and the last taime I updated my contacts was almos manually. I would Like to be able to have the same contacts in all, pc, iPad, and iMac.
How can I set it so to get it done through iCloud?
For instance in my pc ( windows 7 Home Premium ) I use Outlook 2007.
Thanks for any comment on this.

switching on iCloud should automatically tell it to merge data with that device and icloud. i'm on a mac but its gotta be the same on all devices and systems.
when you switch on icloud for Contacts on a PC, it will tell you its merging all contacts with icloud...

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

HT204053 I have two apple ID's and it's causing problems in my contacts. It repeats the same address and sometimes displays email address only but not the full contact details? How do I get my contact list the same in all my devices (iMac, iPhone & iPad (

I have two Apple ID's and it's casing problems on my contact list as it repeats the address in somecases and in others it only displays email address for a contact. I want to have the same contact list and details on all my devices (iMac, iPhone 4S & iPad Mini)? Is it possible?

By using 1 of the 2 ID's instead of both, choose one, move everything in the other one to the one you chose and stop using it.

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:
Understanding Home Sharing
iOS- Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)
iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

My dad and i share the same apple ID and now we have the same contacts. Help please

When my dad got a new phone he got all of my contacts because we have the same apple ID so how do i get my contacts off of his phone and also if he deletes one of my contacts off of his phone it gets deleted off of my phone. Can someone help me? Thank you

To fix this, one of you needs to migrate to a new, separate, iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your account.

Need help my contact are merging together if they have the same name

If I enter in a new contact with the same first name my phone automatically links to another person with the same name in my contact. This happens even if I put a different company name so I know the difference between Jeff at car dealer and Jeff landscaper. Can anyone guide me how to fix this please.

1. Objects don't have names. The only name a <tt>JButton</tt> might have is the '<tt>name</tt>' property which is set using <tt>setName(...)</tt>
2. Add an anonymous <tt>ActionListener</tt> to the <tt>JButton</tt> in the same method that you create it. In general, and unless hugely justified by the program design, avoid 'switchboard' listeners that require to identify the source of the event.
To get better help sooner, post a [url http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sscce.html]SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable) example that demonstrates the problem. And read the announcement at the top of the forum listing, it's there for a purpose. As is the FAQ linked from every page.

in response to Pita Fito
I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...

I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
Hopefully somebody can help you out.
More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

How do I create a new contact from the same company as one I already have

How do I simply create multiple contacts from the same company? In Outlook this is achieved using by "New contact from same company". Is there a similar function in gMail contacts?

Check that out with Gmail support.
