TS4147 Duplicate contacts from two accounts

Hi, I have two accounts (iCloud and Gmail) setting to show contacts in my contacts, how can I merge both acounts into one clean list? and I prefer if that would be in Gmail since I use 2 phones with the same number (Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5), iOS7 on iPhone

You're probably syncing from two sources. Do the contacts show up as duplicated at icloud.com?
One of the most causes is syncing from both icloud and itunes.

  • Sync contacts from two accounts with Outlook 2013 in my PC

    My wife and I both have an account with individual contact lists. I am using the icloud program on my win8 PC to sync the contacts with Outlook 2013. Can I set-up this tool to sync the contacts from both apple accounts ?

    The sync process for contacts with a supported address book application on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be.
    If you use Outlook on your computer for contacts and your iPhone includes contacts before the first sync for this data, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. After the first sync and merge in this situation, the contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs or should be.

  • How do I effectively remove multiple duplicate contacts from S5?

    How do I effectively remove multiple duplicate contacts from Samsung S5? Genius who sold me the phone duplicated ALL of my existing contacts.

        Thank you for reaching back out to us, if your contacts are backed up by GMail, if you log in to your account on a PC, they should appear online under the Contacts tab. Try this also, if you go to Contacts>Settings icon(three vertical dots button) Settings>Contacts to Display> What options are selected? This screen will help you pick and choose what contacts list to display.

  • Merge contacts from two iPhones

    Hi! I own two iPhones and I need to merge contcat from the two phones. iCloud contacts updates smoothly bewteen the two devices, but I also have ciontact stored in two different "exchange" servers (one in each iPhone) and I would like to merge them alltogether. any suggestions? Thank you

    If you're using Outlook for these exchange accounts, you can try exporting the account's contacts as a vcard file which can then be uploaded to iCloud (or Yahoo, GMail, etc.)  There are also apps you can put on your iPhone to export your contacts as a vcard file, and I'm pretty sure these will export contacts from Exchange accounts even though the contacts don't actually reside on your phone.

  • Iphone won't fetch contacts from email accounts

    When I got and set up my iphone 4 it successfully important my contacts from two email accounts (Gmail and a Yahoo-connected label). But when I add new contacts on the computer, they don't show up on the phone. I've tried adjusting the "fetch" and "push" settings, but to no avail. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks.

    Recieving email is no problem normally be that POP or IMAP based
    However sending over 3G/Edge/GSM requires you to use the smtp address supplied by ATT to send over the mobile networks and NOT your ISP smtp.
    You do however need to use your ISP smtp when at home to send over your Wifi.
    When sending you may have better//more consistent results if you switch off any wifi connections and just use the ATT service to avoid having smtp conflicts.

  • Deleting Many Duplicate Contacts from iPhone 5

    Is there an easier way to delete many (hundreds) of duplicate contact from my iPhone 5? My wireless carrier accidentally caused this situation when transfering contacts from one phone to another. I would like to avoid having to delete each duplicate one by one. Deleting all contacts and starting over sounds too traumatic.
    Thank you.

    If you have a recent back up that was made before the issue started then simply restore from that back up and it should resolve the issue.
    Also if you are using iCloud on the iPhone this article may help you out: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147

  • In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes

    In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes one free other paid account, hence one free App and another paid App the same App?

    If both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you can download the books from both accounts to there (download the books from one account, then sign out of it via Store > Sign Out, log in with the other account via Store > Sign In and download the books from the other account), and sync them over to the iPad's iBooks app via the Books tab.
    Or you might be able to sign out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it Settings > Store and sign in with the other account and download the books from that account - I think that it should work, but it's not something that I've tried so I'm not 100% sure that it will

  • How to move contacts from one account to another

    I have 2 exchange accounts configured in my iPhone, one Corp exchange account and one personal exchange account, both have Contacts sync enabled.
    I noticed somehow all of new created Contacts are under Corp account, these Contacts do not show up on my iPad / Mac which only have personal account.
    How can I move the selected Contacts from Corp account to personal account?
    How can I choose which account to use when I create a new Contact?
    Thanks

    I can answer your second question but I share your problem related to the first question.
    In answer to your second question:
    To make sure that new contacts go into the desired account:
    1.     Go to Settings
    2.     Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
    3.     Scroll down to "Contacts"
    4.     Select the last item in the group, "Default Account"
    5.     A list of the accounts on your iPad will appear.  Select the account that you want to use for your new contacts.
    If you solve the problem of moving existing contacts from one account to another, I'd love to hear about it.

  • How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

    Hi All,
    I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
    I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

    Can anyone help with this?
    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.

  • Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

    Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
    Thanks.

    For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
    As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
    I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).
