TS4147 I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are no duplicates in ICloud or in Outlook.  Can I just delete the iCloud account on my phone and then let it refresh my contacts?

I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are not duplicates in Outlook on my PC or in iCloud.  Can I just remove my iCloud on my account and recreate it so that the contacts refresh?

Be sure that you don't have syncing turned on in iTunes, otherwise you'll get data from both iCloud and the iTunes connection.

    Hello Karen
    Check out the quoted section below to see if you any subject line is causing the issue of them not syncing.

    Unable to sync notes with Outlook
    If notes are not syncing from Outlook, verify that you don't have any notes with no content or subject in Outlook. These notes can prevent Outlook from syncing as expected; removing them or adding a subject should allow syncing to resume

  • ITunes shows that there are no songs on my iphone but there are 274 songs there. The data storage shows up as "other" on iTunes. I just want to clear the music on my phone but  I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this?

I just want to clear the music on my phone but  I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this? You used to be able to swipe and delete a song straight from your phone but I can't seem to do that anymore.

    Thanks for responding. Everything seems to work right except for the when I plug into the 737. Ok let me see if I can be more clear. I had this set up done with two representatives of Neumann, and DBox. Here it is I hope this helps. 32 Channel snake (24 Inputs 8 outputs) Channels 1-8 from snake to my Octopre for Drums. From Octropre output quarter inch lines into the Apollo 2, quarter inch input. This is so that the Apollo 2 is taking the drum tracks. Snake Channel 9-12 into Apollo 1 channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 13-16 into Apollo 2 Channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 17 into the 737, output of 737 into Channel 5 of the Apollo 1 quarter inch.
    Ok The Dbox. Sum output L&R into channel input 7&8 of Apollo 1. Apollo 1 output channels 1-8 into summing input channel 1-8 of Dbox. Apollo 1 main L&R going to main analog input L&R of Dbox. Spid out to DAW input of Dbox. I have both ADAT of both Apollos connected by optical wire. Also have port 2 of Apollo 1 into port 1 of Apollo 2 connected by Firewire.  Let me know. Hope I got it right. Thanks for responding.

  • How do I place a link to a web site on my screen.  I have done this on my iPhone, but don't remember how I did it.  Now I want to do the same on my iPad.  Thanks

    How do I place a link to a web site on my iPad screen?  I have done this on my iPhone, but I don't remember how I did it.  Getting old I guess.  Thanks.

    In Safari (on the page that you want the link for) press the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it,select the 'Add To Home Screen' option, and then chose what you want to call it (as you can't change the name after it's saved).

  • How do I delete and create a new iCloud account on my iPhone, when I cannot delete the old account off my phone!

    I have given my 4s to my wife, she has an iCloud account which uses her work address, she has now left the company and we want to start a new iCloud account, trouble is we cannot delete the old account, we have created a new iCloud account but the iPhone won't let us log into it as it only recognises the old version, we can't access her email anymore to reset the account. Have tried all online help. We restored the phone through iTunes

    Ah thanks Razmee however there is NO option to delete the iCloud account in settings!

  • When restoring my iphone I'm getting both my husbands and my contacts loaded onto my phone, and then into my my Yahoo contacts.  How do I restore to a backup without getting his contacts?

    I just got my new 4s phone, backed up my old phone, and restored my new phone after my husband set it up to try to get his contacts off my new phone.  We share an Itunes account, and now I have his contacts plus my contacts on my phone.  His contacts have also now synced to my Yahoo account.  I still have the old phone with just my contacts on it.  How do I get just my contacts on my new phone, and back in my Yahoo account?

    You can't selectively restore items from an iPhone backup in iTunes.
    If you share an iTunes account and you have it set up to sync your contacts then it will sync all the contacts.
    Are you on a Mac and do you use Yahoo or the address book to store your contacts?

  • When I have my iTunes library on an external drive, but I forget to connect my external drive before opening iTunes, so then iTunes creates a library taking up room on my MacBook Air, can I just delete the iTunes library folder on my MacBook Air?

    So I have a MacBook Air, but it doesn't have a lot of storage inside of it. So I set iTunes to sort all media files (it copies things as I add them and puts them in the iTunes folder) and I set the iTunes folder to my external ntfs drive. This has been working fine, but I find that sometimes iTunes starts adding stuff to the folder on the Air itself. I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected, or what, but is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air? Otherwise it keeps building up multiple GBs. Or will just deleting it do something bad with my lecture videos and music when I sync an iOS device? I'm really worried about doing something wrong with my large collection and have iTunes delete it or not sync with my iOS device and I won't be able to figure out how to set everything up again.
    Also, should I format my drive to HFS+ rather than ntfs? The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know. I keep everything on my external and sometimes it needs to interact with friends computers or school computers.

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • I have recently installed Firefox 4.0 but would like to go back to 3.6. Can I do this without loosing all of my addons and bookmarks?

    I have some favorite add-ons that are not yet compatible with version 4. I would like to go back to 3.6 without loosing all of my setup.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from http://www.mozilla.com - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Can I turn off the drive mirroring from my MAC to the iCloud? Meaning I want to just use the iCLoud and a storage device but not have it take up space on my HD.

    Basically I have 100megs left on my HD. I need to offload content. I need to move my files (photos) over to the cloud but I don't want it mirrored on my desktop taking up space.

    That's correct, I moved the iMac drive to the second bay in the new Quad G5.
    I wasn't sure if any combination of events would fix this. I didn't think there were any caches or anything else I needed to clear but just posted here to be sure.
    The iMac was 10.4.3 and current with all updates. I didn't really think anything was missing but posted here to be sure. My understanding of Mac OS X is such that I was pretty sure that everything the Quad needed was already on the iMac drive. Not that this is necessarily any more reliable, but I asked at the Apple store and they said there was no problem with me moving the drive to the Quad and setting it as the startup volume.
    A few people have told me that it's probably OK, but the official method is to use the migration assistant. So today I installed from the Power Mac OS X discs (10.4.2) to the Hitachi drive which I erased, then ran the migration assistant, then software update, then cloned the Hitachi drive back to the Seagate. I think the performace of the two drives is nearly identical (Seagate ST3300831AS, Hitachi HDS725050KLA360) and wanted the smaller (300 GB) Seagate drive to be my main drive.
    I've been using Macs for only about a year and have found the experience interesting. On the plus side the performance is fairly consistant and I don't experience progressive system slowdown over a period of months. And of course there are the system update, viruses, etc. issues which are better. On the negative side basic stuff feels faster on a Windows system. I'll try Photoshop which I have no doubt will be faster on the Quad than the iMac and probably faster than a PC, too. But Safari or Firefox don't feel as fast as IE on a new Windows PC. Just my observation. I invested a lot in this Quad and expected to feel a significant speed boost even if it's only for launching applications and displaying web pages. (I have Comcast's highest speed Internet service.)
