After iCloud - Duplicate addresses?

MuGeN · 4 Nov 2011 at 19:45

Hi guys,

Just wondering... just me or after moving to iCloud do some (if not all) of your contact have 2, 3 or even 4 duplicate addresses?

Anyone know how to fix? I've got 200 odd contacts in there and really don't want to fi them one by one.

Also, contacts that I swear I'd deleted are popping back up...

Fine here. I imported mine from Gmail and everything worked fine. You should wipe them and reimport them.

Happens if you sync both with your PC and with iCloud. You do get a warning about that. I made the mistake too but after a recent restore I corrected my error and it's been fine save the odd contact.

Yep. In iTunes uncheck the box for syncing contacts.

It needs to be Computer <-> Cloud <-> iPhone. If the phone is set to sync with both, then problems arise.
