Why do I have "Unified Info" and plain "Info" categories in my iPhone Contacts?

I have an iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.0.1), an iMac (OS X v10.7.3) and an iCloud account. All are set to sync several things, but the topic of this inquiry is my Contacts. I've noticed that when I open any given Contact listing on my iPhone, each is headed by one of two lines: "Unified Info" or plain "Info." At the bottom of a "Unified Info" contact listing are two lines showing me "Linked Cards," one being for iCloud and the other for iPhone. On the one headed plain "Info" there are no Linked Cards showing at the bottom of the contact listing. As noted above, my system is set so that the Contacts in my iPhone, my iCloud account and my iMac (which is further set to keep both my and my wife's contacts sync'd, as well) all read the same. So why do I have these two "types" of entries on my iPhone? I should note that all the important information in all three places (iPhone, iMac and iCloud) - name, numbers, addresses, etc. - IS THE SAME, but why do they have diffefent headings on my iPhone!?! Any explanation from someone knowledgeable about this would be appreciated, and is there any way I can get - or should want to get - all the Contact entries on my iPhone to be "Unified Info" entries? Thanks, in advance, for any help you can offer.

I've got the same problem. Showed up after trying they 'sync google contacts' feature in Address Book/iTunes. Suddenly I have duplicates of all my Contacts. Address Book doesn't see any duplicates using the 'Find Duplicates...' feature. In Address Book I can only tell the difference between the duplicates by comparing the information in them. The new ones (presumably from Google) are missing fields like URL and birthday. On the iPhone, however, the names have these squares after them. These squares don't show up in Address Book (if they did it would make it much easier to delete them all).

Well, unfortunately, we don't know why either. You need to contact iTunes support at the link you were provided to find out....

LOVE Firefox! I have just launched a website. One designer told me it takes 7-10 days for any changes to appear. Why? I have cleared caches and cookies etc. I need to be more responsive than 7-1o days. I need changes to appear within 24hrs.

Why do I have creative cc AND creative cc 2014 versions on my computer? And why do I have to uninstall the CC version?

Why do I have creative cc AND creative cc 2014 versions on my computer? And why do I have to uninstall the CC version?

definitely.
i mostly use flash and haven't found any need for cc. but there are definitely reasons to keep flash pro cs6.
and you may find if you continue using adobe products that saving source files for other users becomes an issue unless you save older versions. typically, (with flash pro at least) you can save to the current version and one version older. after a few years, the current version cannot save for older versions and you may work with someone that only has an older version.

Your photo is using legacy processing version (2003 or 2010). Click the lightning bolt up near histogram, or use process drop-down at bottom in dev module (right panel, camera cal section) to use current processing version (2012).

you can sync your contacts and things under your own itunes and your wife can have her own... or both in one as long as you have it synced in the same computer they will be there
if you name ur phones its easier to tell which is which
my husband kids and i all have our names and then iphone next to it and it creates a different backup for each and then we update and we restore from there it lets you choose which backup you want...
hope it helps!!

You can get Leopard 10.5 by calling the Apple Online store.

If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

Why do I have to update my billing info just to update one of my apps?

I am trying to update my Sims Freeplay and can not. I keep getting please update billing info? Why do I have to update billing info for a game that I do not use in-app purchases for?

If you've acquired a debt to the iTunes Store, you'll need to pay it off before you can download anything other than podcast episodes from it.

Download error. Tap to retry. Why? I have a wifi and still the same message?

Download error. Tap to retry.... Why? I have a wifi connection and still the same message, and even connected to desktop the same for ipad. Help :-)

I'm getitng the same thing. I'm beyond sick of this iPad. It's a third generation Retina Display and it turned into a pile of cat turds after iOS 7. It got so bad I restored it and used iCloud. It was still god awful. I restored it and didnt use the iCloud backup and hoped that whatever was wrong would be avoided....nope. IF I can get a download going it nearly kills my entire iPad. I will open the cover and wait over 30 seconds just for the screen to light up. I will hit the home button to close an app and wait nearly a minute in some cases for it to actually close. Then to top off all the annoyances it just fails and loops over and over.
I bought Apple products to avoid stuff like this. Very unhappy.

Why must I have Internet access and be logged into Adobe to use Photoshop Elements?

I can not use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 unless I have Internet access and log into an Adobe account. Why? This means you can't install the software on a laptop and use it while traveling unless you have 100% Internet access throughout your trip. What a load of ....... Why is this? I there a way around it?
Any advice appreciated.

Thanks Barbara. I tested it (trust but verify ) and that is the case. I must have been logging out, and thus deactivating, in my earlier testing. I agree, bad choice of words or phrasing by Adobe. Thanks again.
