Too Many Contacts Sync'd Over Each Other!!

I just got a 4s on Sprint (Never had an iPhone before, but had an iPad and a MacBook Pro), and I sync'd my contacts with my Google, Exchange, MobileMe, iCloud accounts, and now I have a ridiculous amount of duplicates. I spent at least 4 or 5 hours going through my contacts on my iPhone and 'linking' all the duplicates together, but whenever I use Siri to call/text/email a contact, it always says "you have 15 entries for John Doe" etc. So annoying!
How do I get rid of all the un-needed data? Once I have it all on my phone, does it all sync to iCloud? If I un-sync my google account, will everything still be there? If I go through individually and delete contacts, will it all end up deleting on the cloud, or will it stay on the cloud and just delete on my phone?
Thanks for the help!

I bought and legally own PS CS3. Installed on a desktop and the machine died completely. Downloaded a trial of CS3 from Adobe site. Went to activate and said too many activations. Activate over the phone. EXCEPT Adobe does not handle activation issues over the phone. Adobe doesn't care about their older products - they don't care that I spent hundreds of dollars for CS3. This is truly disgusting corporate behavior. Is there anything I can do? We aren't all rich photographers. I paid a great deal of money for this product. Is it now useless?Thank you,
James Scott

BB Q10 is troublesome for my bluetooth car stereo due to too many contacts

In the past my various blackberrys have had no problem connecting via bluetooth to my car stereos or various hands free units. I do have 9,000+ contacts on my blackberry. Typically a car hands free unit will only take the fist few hundred or thousand. This has never bothered me as i dial manually from my backberry phone. However on the Q10 it seems to keep feeding contacts to my Kenwood car stereo, result being that my stereo displays continuously the message "downloading" over any other display - which is frustrating to say the least. I have spoken at length with Kenwood support, and they seem unable to help, but keep leading back to trying to find a way for the Q10 to connect on the bluetooth for voice / calls, but turn off sharing of contacts or data. The kenwood product does not have any control on this unfortunately. The Q10 also seems to support phone book auto synchronisation. I know others have had issues on the bluetooth car connection for the Q 10, but no one seem to have the same issue i do - of too many contacts, or not that i have seen. The phone works fine via the bluetooth connection, it is simply a pain that i cannot see my tracks or radio station on the stereo because it is "downloading". Does anyone have a solution for this issue from the blackberry side, if not is there likely to be one in the future? I have been impressed by the fact that blackberry have made other changes recently such as resolution size of photographs etc, wonder if we can expect other tweaks.

In Italy we have some Radio Sender which can be connected to the iPhone and send the music to the FM receiver.
They are practically useless. Even if you can tune in to find a range free from Radio sender it is stable only for 1 Mile. Then you get a strong radio over your music.
BT should be more stable but I do not believe it will give you a stronger signal compared to a direct cable connection.
You really need an amplifier.

I received a message about having too many contacts? Not sure what this means, didn't know there limitations on contacts. Can you tell me about fixing this problem?

What were you doing when you received the message?
I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help..

HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

How can i get my items to stay in place and not cross over each other when readjusting the browser size.
Basically on my site when i go from a small screen to a big screen everything doesn't adjust to the screen size. I don't know what im missing
Here's the link to the page all the pages & they all do it

Thanks in advance

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Since downloading the most current iTunes software I can no longer print the insert (label) for a jewel case. The songs are printed over each other and can not be read. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Since downloading the most current iTunes software I am no longer able to print an insert (label) for a jewel case. I click on print, choose jewel case and then it doesn't matter which option I choose for the insert it will only print the songs over each other in a 1 inch section so that it can not be used or read. If instead of clicking on the jewel case I click on list it works fine and prints an appropriate list. I have always updated the iTunes software the first time I am offered to do so and I have never had a problem printing the jewel case inserts. Since this issue is not about a piece of hardware iTunes help will not help me.

Did you ever get a response?
If you so how did you correct the problem?
I have the exact problem you had.
Please let me know.
Thank you

Two different projects spliced together over each other some how?

Greetings everyone,
I thought forum users might be interested in this one. I don't use the forum often so I don't know the history but has anybody ever had two different projects spliced together over each other some how? For example, I was tweaking a project and left it alone for several months. I came back today to work on it and clips from other projects were in it some how. Also the audio from the new clips were in the new project and overriding the existing project. Does anybody know how to restore the two and make them separate them without losing any info. from either one? The thing's a mess. I had 1 video track w/ some subtitles, a voice over, and some music in the background. Now it has two video clips, and two of everything else. It's crazy. I don't think it's a virus or anything. Nothing else on my machine is acting strange. I hope nobody else has experienced this yet can help.
Peace

If you have a backup external drive and Time Machine, I would suggest the following:
Locate this specific clip in your Finder. Highlight it and rename it "old", or something similar.
Launch Time Machine.
Go back to a date in time when this clip was as you properly edited it.
Again, make sure Finder is still open and highlight the clip.
Click "restore" in Time Machine.
Open iMovie and you will see your project as you had it all those months ago.
This works for me when I have an iMovie project behaving badly.
iMovie is a great application: but just like us, it has good days and bad days.

Chart series lines going over each other

All i have a chart with 3 series, how do i get it so that the lines are all separate, at the moment they go over each other and i can't see each of the three, i know that some of the values are the same, and some are near to each other, but how do i spread them out.

do not know if you need the solution, but you can try to give a min / max value of the y-axis to spread the line out? Go to the "Chart attribute" page and in the section "Axes Settings" you can enter a min and max value for the y axis.

Png files are over each other in the iphoto import window

When i connect my iphone to the mac to import photos in iphoto, the png files are over each other in the iphoto import window. Jpegs are also showing up in the iphoto grid with new photos but each box contains 1 photo, which is normal. With png pictures, iphoto puts up to 3 pictures on top of each other in each box.
Anybody has seen this before?
Kind regards,
Jeff Dehaes

oops, sorry, re-installed iphoto and it works again, they weren't even png's just jpegs...
Problem solved.

How many midlets can communicate to each other?

I mean to say how they can use each other's resources? Is it possible thet one midlet can use other midlets resource? Also can we add or delete the midlet from our application .jar file within the same midlet?

Can I center 2 divs over each other??

OK, I've built a website completely in Flash and I'm trying
to lay it out with dreamweaver so that when viewed on 800x640
resolution maxed browser window it will fit snug without any
horizontal scrollbar (the SWF's is fit to this standard); and when
viewed on 1024x768 maxed window it will be centered in the window
PLUS have a background on either side (So this background should
not appear in the 800x640 window). If that isn't clear compare
http://www.gamespot.com.
Right so my idea was just to put the SWF in a div and this
background PNG in a div and center them both, while making the PNG
width=100%.
Well that doesn't seem to work. I guess you can't center two
divs over each other?? The only way I can make one overlay on the
other is by giving it an absolute position, but then of course it
isn't centered any more.
Any suggestions?

Well, no, that's not what I meant.
Background images don't do 100%. Using CSS like this -
body { background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center; }
will a) prevent the image from tiling, and b) will place it
in the center of
any size viewport. Is that what you wanted?

If you cannot sync contacts this might be the problem...too many contact groups

I have a Centro and MAC book and was trying to use ISync and then Missing Sync to sync data. In both programs the contacts would not sync but all else did just fine. I have many contacts but did not need all of them on my phone so I organized them into groups in the address book, with one group being a list of the current contacts I wanted on my phone. With MissingSync the program will only sync a certain number of groups, although I had more than that number I didn't think it mattered because I was only trying to sync the one group. It matters. Even though in the Missing Sync conduit setting the group was listed and I only checked that group off to sync - nothing would sync.
The solution was to save a back up of my address book and then delete all my contact groups except the one I wanted to sync. POOF! It worked. I am not sure exactly how many groups would work but if the priority is to get a certain number of contacts, not all, on your phone and you have a lot of groups, maybe this strategy will work for you. If you are using ISync, since the problem was the same for both programs, maybe this would also be the solution in ISync.
What led to this ah-ha moment was a forum moderator at MissingSync suggesting I create another user on my computer with administrative capability, create a few test contacts and then try to sync. This did work, the contacts did sync.
I hope this may be of help to someone and possibly save you a lot of time. Good luck!

Thank you for the information

Am I trying to print too many Contacts at once?

I have over 2000 contacts in my Address Book, and when I try to print I get the "Preparing" window forever. I can break it down to smaller groups, but I'm wondering if there's a limit to how many contacts Address Book can print in one pass. Any ideas?

You really can't. Try downloading them on your computer and sync. Next try restoring from backup.
