When syncing I get multiple contact, how do I get rid of multiples?

When I sync with my computer I get multiple contact with minor differences. I then pick the one I want in i-tunes, but I still get multiple contacts. I can physically delete each one, but that takes forever and the next time I sync I get all of them again.

You're welcome.
The Apple ID was changed where on the device?
The Apple ID for the iTunes & App Store can be the same or different than the Apple ID registered with iMessage and FaceTime on the device.
Where it is changed for iMessage is at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID.
Select the Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out. Sign back in there with the different Apple ID to register that Apple ID with the iPhone's phone number with iMessage.

New 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts

My new 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts on my PC running XP. I've read a bunch of previous similar posts but haven't seen a solution. Does anyone have any hints? Thanks in advance

This is a rare problem these days; it was common with earlier versions of the firmware. It is usually caused by a corrupted database in Outlook. Open contacts in Outlook and check the first few entries. Open each, make a change, and save it. If you get an error saving it you should either delete it, or export the entire address book from within Outlook, then reimport it. One of these will fix the problem if it is a corrupt entry.

Question: How do I stop the syncing of/get rid of MobileMe?

Question: How do I stop the syncing of/get rid of MobileMe?

If you haven't yet signed out in System Preferences>MobileMe go there: go to the iDisk pane and if you have iDisk Syncing running, stop it. Go to the Sync pane and turn off all syncing. Then go to the Account pane and sign out.
Also go to iPhoto and/or Aperture if applicable and if they have an accounts section in Preferences remove MobileMe from it (not all versions do).
If you have already signed out you won't be able to sign back in to do this. In that event, or if the above doesn't work, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and remove all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk.

When sync iPod, get error message and deletes all playlists!

Just the other day a problem developed. When I sync my iPod (160G,) after a short time of syncing I get a pop-up which says, "Cannot sync "Dennis iPod" because an unknown error occurred. Error number 48"
I clicked OK, and it seemed to sync anyway without further problems. Now this may be a separate issue, but yesterday I was trying to help a friend with loading iTunes on his computer and then getting music in it and then syncing his new Nano. He knows less about computers than I do, so I went through all the steps in detail, clicking on various settings, etc.
I don't recall changing anything and I have gone over my iTunes setup again and it looks OK to me, but the next time I synced my iPod, iTunes ERASED ALL THE PLAYLISTS!
I have it setup to sync only "checked" playlists.
I am using iTunes 7.5.0.20
Another thing I have noticed for some time now is that syncing my iPod seems to take much longer than it used to. For instance, I get a podcast of a radio program which I like to put on my iPod. The program has three segments which are approx. 30 min. long. It used to take what seemed to be about 6-7 sec. per segment to sync. This was back in the days of the older iTunes which showed the Music playlist with little icons beside the new material to be synced. As it synced, as I recall, the icon disappeared. Now it takes several times as long to sync. Any suggestions. By the way, I don't have "use error correction" checked.
Thanks for any help.
Dennis

Somehow, I erased all my contacts when syncing music. Any idea how I go about locating and redownloading them

Somehow, I erased all of my contacts while syncing music. Any clue on how I go about locating and redownloading them? Thanks

Hopefully you have those contacts on your computer from a previous sync. If you do, connect your iphone, click on your iphone, and then go to "info" and make sure "sync all contacts" is checked. Then sync and you should be good to go.

When syncing, music gets copied multiple times..help!

everytime I sync, my music gets copied in itunes so I have 3-6 of each song in my library. Why is this happening? I have to go back and manually delete 5 songs/each song. Any clues?
Thanks!

Plug your iPod into your computer and once iTunes open go to the iPod preference plane on the source list. There is the option to restore your iPod. Restoring means to erase your iPod completely and reinstall a new software on it. So if you have any files in your iPod that you don't have on your computer, back them up before you do the restoring. Otherwise, proceed with the restore (You need internet connection to do the restore). You should be fine after restoring it.

Duplicate email alarms sent when syncing iCal on multiple computers

Hi, I have iCal set up on my laptop, my work computer and my home computer and they all are syncing using .mac, which is great because I can add an event on any computer and it updates everywhere. The problem is that when I have an event that has an email alarm all three computers end up sending me a reminder. As a result my inbox looks like a plate of spam. Is there a way I can suppress email alarms from all but one of the computers?
Thanks in advance.

I sync my iPhone with two different computers. This appears to be something new & unique for the iPhone.
My "Info" data (contacts, bookmarks, calendar, mail) comes from my iBook. My "Media" data (music, podcasts, video) comes from my desktop PC.
I don't believe you can mix the sync data beyond that. In other words, you can't sync podcasts from one computer and music from a second.
When I started doing this, I recall getting prompted to erase all data before continuing the sync in the traditional iPod method of 1 computer to 1 iPod. But hitting Cancel to that question actually continued the sync without deleting the iPhone resident non-synced data. You may have to do that on both systems (the Cancel), but now it seems automatic. The iBook just touches the Info data & the PC just touches the media data.
I also turned off 'auto-sync' in both iTunes for the iPhone. I'm not sure if that made a difference for the dual sync. I just prefer to kick off the sync manually in case I'm downloading new podcasts or just need to charge the iPhone and don't want to go through a sync at that moment.

When syncing I get computer not authorized - I have authorized 3 times

I bought a new computer with 8.1 installed and when I try to sync with Ipod classic, I get "some songs cant be copied because this computer is not authorized" - I authorized it 3 times and still get only a fraction of my music downloaded to the Ipod.

Removing the SC Folder(s) and restarting annd re-authorizing iTunes worked fo rme. It will look like there is nothing in the folder by the way, just remove it.
Instructions on how to do it (easy) are on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389

When printing mailing labels from Contacts how do I change the label size?

I want to print mutliple labels from a group in Contacts. I can print 20 labels per page but I want to print 14. I have tried every option in the pop up window but nothing lets me change the label size,

Hi 786menzies,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that your print jobs from Photosmart 5520 seems very small.
The font size is controlled by the software program that the document was created in, for example any Microsoft Word document that you send to the printer the font size would have been chosen in Microsoft Word. I've included two different documents on how to change the print settings; one for Mac and one for Windows 8. These documents will show you the process on changing print settings if not the actual steps as you may not be using one of the operating systems mentioned.

When will you get rid of the resource hog, "Plugin-Container.exe"

Plugin-container-exe has a memory leak. When you go in and out of numerous web sites, it consumes more and more and more memory and turns my computer into a dog. Since the inclusion of the plugin-container, explorer is now a better browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The last update that included plugin-container.

Are you serious that this is your "solution"? I did as you suggested -- changed the flags to "false" -- and now I restared Firefox with a mere 10 tabs open (no videos; just a few text pages, gmail, yahoo finance, barrons.com) and Firefox is consuming 1.1 gb of RAM. What's the reason behind this? It looks like whatever resources were being swallowed by plugin-container.exe are now being swallowed by Firefox itself, so that doesn't solve the problem.
Is Firefox a good idea taken too far? When it began, the Firefox project was a fast, nimble browser. Is it now too bloated and convoluted to be of any use? Is it a victim of its success?

When will firefox get rid of 'Click Me' as it continally crashes and freezes my computer.

My question says it all.

Quoting '''the-edmeister''' and '''cor-el''' from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025706
That Click Me game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.
Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo
If you prefer not to see the snippets on the about:home page or otherwise experience problems with a snippet then you can set the '''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl''' pref to an empty string on the '''about:config''' page. Delete the '''storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home''' folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set. You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder. You need to close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.
You can open the '''about:config''' page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Alternatively you can just change your home page to another web page at:

IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
Here is what I have tried:
• All software updated
• Ipod was reformatted and restored
• iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

Make that another person WITH AN IPOD PROBLEM<<<</div>
This forum is like a hospital - you're going to see a lot of sick people!
i bought it at apple.com<<<</div>
Then Apple has a record of the purchase.
i don't think that my nearest apple store will help me either<<<</div>
Why wouldn't they? Remember - Apple has a record of the purchase.

Over-riding PC with iphone when syncing is set to automatic

I inadvertedly deleted my calendar appointments in outlook [2003]. They still exist in my iphone calendar. If I sync, I fear my wiped out outlook file will over-ride my iphone calendar and I will lose all my calendar information in my iphone. I cant change the over-ride settings in iTunes, as the syncing starts automatically. Can someone help, please? Can I somehow back up my iphone calendar before syncing and possibly losing the data? Or can I change the iTunes settings without the iphone being connected?

There is an iTunes global setting to not automatically sync when any iPod or iPhone is connected - iTunes > Preferences under the Devices tab.
When syncing calendar events and contacts with an empty supported calendar and address book application on your computer, doing so will erase all calendar events and contacts on the iPhone. Before syncing calendar events with an empty Outlook calendar, enter one calendar event in Outlook. Make this event up if needed which can be deleted later. This should provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
Contacts and calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If syncing with Outlook erases all calendar events from your iPhone, do not sync your iPhone again before restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Select Restore under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences and when prompted to backup or update your iPhone's backup, decline this prompt.
