What should I do to refrain from receiving duplicate contacts on my IPhone when synching
What should I do to refrain from receiving duplicate contacts on my IPhone when synching?
Don't create 'sync loops'. In other words, if you are syncing your phone and your computer to iCloud, for example, do not ALSO sync the contacts on your phone with the contacts on the computer.

Hi everyone. I both a Mac Pro 15" in March 2009. Five month ago I was forced to buy by one new hard drive and extent the memory, because I had to make the upgrade (and pay) to install the new Lion operation system. Four days ago the Mother-board fails. To change it will cost a fortune. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this problem? I am very disappointed because my trust on Apple was destroyed.
I am not sure why you are upset with Apple. Electronics equipment does fail. If the product is out of warranty or you do not have AppleCare there's not much you can do with Apple. Apple will charge you for the repair. Suggest you look for a third party repair store since they are usually less expensive than Apple. Alternatively you can buy one for about $850US and install it yourself. Sorry, but there aren't many choices in this situation.

Hello, i've downloaded an app from The App Store on iTunes (Call of Duty) and when i wanted to sync it to my iPhone5 it stops in step 5 *detemining apps to sync* what should i do? i don't want to restore my iPhone.
You cannot call anyone. You contact them as everyone else does: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You delete the app as you do any other app. Hold an icon until they wiggle. Tap the "x". This is covered in the manual. -

What is the easiest way to remove duplicate contacts on my Iphone?
What is the easiest way to remove duplicate contacts on my Iphone and avoid them in the future?
There are apps that will locate and remove duplicate contacts, such as My Contacts Backup Pro. As for preventing them in the future, if you are syncing contacts both with iTunes and iCloud this will create duplicates. If you are, pick one and disable the other.

My iphone gets stuck when doing the back up of the IOS 5. What should I do? Any ideas?
I'm having the same issue on the 3Gs. I get a message "an error occurred while backing up this phone (-43)." It tells me if I continue the contents of the phone while be deleted. Is it safe to continue and restore from my current backup? I can do a manual backup without any issues.

I am getting duplicate reminders in my IPhone when it syncs from my computer.
I am havng problems with duplicate events on my IPhone calendarwhen it pulls over from my desktop calendar.
By default iPhone's show all calendars currently available to it. You can check which calendars you're viewing by going into the calendar and clicking the "Calendars" button in the top left. All current calendars will have a tick next to them.
Try unticking all but one and see which events are shown after hitting "done". If it's not the correct one just go back in and try one of the others. Hope this helps. -
What should I remove or uninstall from this list from the Etrecheck I did?
I just did an Etrecheck on my MacBookPro (mid 2009) that recently upgraded to Mavericks.
There are some things on it that I'm not sure whether I should uninstall them, delete, them, and/or Update them. I don't want to take action on something I shouldn't. I'm questioning some of the 3rd party support links, and the "Outdated" JavaAppelet plugin.
Should I take any actions on any of it? And what's the best way to uninstall the Microsoft Office that's on my machine?
Thanks for any help.

What should I use to export from FCP to DVDSP?
I'm sorry if this question is too basic, but I've searched past discussions and read the manual, and can't seem to find the answer. I am trying to put a nearly hour-long movie I made onto a DVD, in order to have hundreds of duplicates made. I'm using DVD SP, and I had been exporting my movie from FCP to a Quicktime movie file, then importing the Quicktime file into DVD SP. Then recently I came across something online that said you should actually be exporting from FCP to Compressor, then to DVD SP. I've never used Compressor before, so I have no idea what to do, or if I even should be doing it. The video was fine when I exported to Quicktime, but I of course want to have the best video quality possible.. so if there's a way to keep the video at the highest quality possible (higher than when using Quicktime), please let me know (and if it could be explained as simple as possible, I would appreciate that).
Hi Ryan,
I'm relatively new to this too but you're on the right track. I would export to Compressor.
There are various settings i.e. mpeg2 fast encode, high quality 60min, 120min, widescreen, 4:3 etc and all dependant upon what you want your end result to be.
You'll need to choose your format - I suggest mpeg2 - 60min High Quality Encode > your destination for both the video and audio > 'submit'.
You should end up with a file that resembles *My Movie.m2v*
Then import that file into DVDSP into the assets pane and you're away.
Good luck!

What should I use? - Developing from AI to Flash for Mac, iPad & Windows
Not sure if I am in the right forum so if not please let me know.
I want to develop an app to use on our Mac, Windows, and iPad systems. It would run locally and not over the internet. In short I would take template art from Illustrator files and convert to a usable flash files. The app would allow the user to change the named fields on the templates to their company name for visualizing the art. I have been doing some testing and this appears to be possible.
I am obviously new to this and trying to understand what/how to develop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Thanks for the help and you are correct I have not gotten into the iPad enough for any testing.
I have read that Flash is not supported and also read that it is supported on the iPad. Confused as to what this page is telling me regarding a "Packager for iPhone IOS" - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/packagerforiphone/ and this page http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/abansod_iphone.html
Is this stuff just wishful thinking or only on iPhone or something else? Again thanks for the help. -
What should I know about transitioning from original iPad to New iPad?
I'm about to set up my new iPad -- I have an old, first generation iPad. What do I need to know?
What sort of thing do you want to know ? If you want the same content on the new iPad as you've got on the old one then copy all purchases off it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then do a backup (right-click the iPad device on the left-hand side of iTunes), and then restore that backup onto the new iPad (you will need to enter email, router and other passwords on the new iPad, the restore won't copy them onto it)

Whenever I use iMessage on my iPhone 4 and send messages to my friends they receive the messages just fine and I can also view them in the iMessages app on my Macbook Air, however, whenever i reply to their response via my Macbook Air it doesn't seem to use the same contact information as my iPhone 4. My friends receive a new contact with the message i sent from my Macbook Air. How do i get them to use the same contact information so i can continue a conversation without my friends realizing that im using different devices?
HI,
On the iPhone
Settings > Messages and adjust the Send From and Received At options
On the Mac
Messages > Preferences > Accounts iMessages account
You may need to go to the Send From drop down at the bottom.
The Mac version has Received At check boxes and a separate Send From drop down.
The issue comes around which type of iMessage the Mac versions see the messages as.
The chances are that it arrives after the iPhone gets the "original" and therefore is seen as A "Sync copy".
As this is not an on-going conversation the app regards what you see as a reply and a New Message and Sends From comes in to play.
You may also have different Received At and Send Froms set up on each device.

We have one itunes store account for all of our apple devices. I am now separated and my kids take their ipods and ipads to my exs. How can I stop my ex from reading my texts? I turned off the home sharing, but they, kids or ex, just turn it on.
Do I have to have separate itune accounts for the other devices or can I create a separate email account and link those devices to that?Hi, RenegadeK.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This issue would be caused by all your devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your/her/his device if possible. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Once this is done, I would recommend that either you/her/him create a new Apple ID specifically for iMessage and FaceTime here. Then you/her/him would need to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime with the new Apple ID. You can still keep the same Apple ID for purchases. You can also change the password which will essentially disable iMessage for his/her account. You could also just turn iMessage off.

What should I do about an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored my iPhone?
I have an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored the software in my iPhone, and I do not know what to do about the strange file. The scenario is as follows:
Recently I was having some problems with the proximity sensor on the iPhone, and I read that if one restored the software on the iPhone, this often allowed the sensor to be calibrated and it would work properly. Thus I synchronized (backed up) the iPhone and then wiped it out and reinstalled the software. At the point iTunes asked me did I want to restore the phone from a backup, I decided that since I did not to re-import any corrupted stuff from the old installation that might affect the operation of the proximity sensor, then I would start over and just set it up as a new phone. I was able to get what little I wanted of stuff otherwise from the iCloud and my music from iTunes, so everything seems to have gone fine.
However, now I have a file that has an image of a Lego-block with musical notes and an iPod on its sides that appeared on the desktop. The odd file is called "iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw". What on earth is this all about???? When I search the internet, I see people who have jailbroken their iPhones talking about .ipsw files, but to the best of my knowledge, I have not done anything to jailbreak my iPhone, nor would I ever want to do such. Why did this file appear on my desktop? What is this file for for? Can I delete this file?
Thank you.I forgot to mention also that when I tried to delete this icon, the trash eternally acted like it was emptyint the trash, but the progress bar was not progressing. I suppose that is because the file size is too large (812 MB).
