TS2481 Address book "not responding" after troubleshooting SyncServices. Anyone else have this problem?

I had been having an issue with contacts repeatedly duplicating and sometimes disappearing in my address book. This appeared to be a problem with SyncServices, so I followed the steps to troubleshoot SyncServices, archived my contacts, de-duplicated them, cleared the caches and restarted.
I was able to load my contacts back into the address book, but after attempting to de-duplicate again, I started to get the rainbow wheel and the address book is "Not Responding." Force quitting and rebooting have had no effect.
Any advice?

My Address book was not opening anymore and went to "not responding". Forced stop did not resolve the issue.
Most likely to be an icloud issue. Try switching off contacts in your icloud settings in the configuration icon of your Mac. Delete contacts as otherwise you will end up with all duplicate contacts. If you have any contacts stored on your mac, be aware that when switching contacts in iCloud on again, all will be uploaded into iCLoud. So if you don't watn, export and delete before switching back on.
This solved it for me.

Try a hard reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button and the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears.

Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.

Ever since I downloaded the ICloud I am unable to use my camera, it will turn on but the screen will not show the camera view, anyone else have this problem or what I can do to fix?

Make an appointment at the genius bar are your nearest Apple store. At this point there is nothing you can do without a computer, so if you don't have one and don't know anyone who has one that you can use the Apple store is a good fallback.

Emails I send appear in the Sent folder but don't always arrive. This is happening increasingly often and some important messages have not been received. Does anyone else have this problem?

All mails show as Sent but are not always being received, meaning I can't rely on my iPad for important
communications. This problem has been particularly bad for the last 2 weeks. Has anyone else found the same?

Issue resolved in iCloud->iOS device forum.

I recently bought 2 ipod touches and sometimes the video camera locks up. is this from not enough charge or does anyone else have this problem?

i recntly bought 2 ipod touches and they both seem to lock up in video mode and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? is it due to low battery?

It happens sometimes. Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that points to a hardare problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar is in order.

My brand new MacBook Air causes unpleasant tingling in my dominant hand during use, even when it is not connected to power. Anyone else have this problem? Any successful solutions?

I'm fairly certain this isn't a carpal tunnel issue, and I've never had the problem in the past with my iPhone... I can't imagine switching to a laptop other than a mac but this is nearly unbearable!

If you are positive there is a good Wi-Fi signal in the area of the iPad I would first reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work, I would turn off your iPad and then restart your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Once the router had completed its restart process and established a link to the Internet then turn your iPad on. Make sure Settings > Wi-Fi> On.

I ended up having a one hour conversation with Apple Support which evolved to handing over control of my screen and then eventually having to use Terminal. I wish I could remember the command but it's probably best I don't.
One thing we looked at right away was the account name used to dowload the movie. Is it the same as the account name you have saved on your iPad. That's easy to check and would be great if that is all that's needed to correct. Good luck.
Here's also an email I got from Support that could solve your problem if it's not as difficult as my issue was.
I would like to inform you that this issue can occur if iOS (your device's operating system) on your device needs to be updated. It can also happen if the computer you're trying to sync from has not been authorized to play purchases you are trying to sync.
I suggest that you first see if updating iOS on your iPad resolves the issue. This article will walk you through the process:
Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If there are still purchases that won't sync to your device after you update its software, I suggest reauthorizing your computer. To do so, follow these steps:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Deauthorize Computer.
3) Enter your account name and password, then click Deauthorize.
4) Now from the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Authorize Computer.
5) Enter your account name and password, then click Authorize.
Once your computer has been authorized, try syncing your device again. If the same issue happens, I suggest reviewing the following articles:

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

HT201210 I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?

I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?

Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
