Three copies of each contact appear in El Capitan

• three copies of each calendar in the calendars

  Preface: There are several similar questions recently, but none responded, and my situation is a little different.

  Running on a late 2009 iMac 10.11.4.

  I have 4 shared calendars and shared in iCloud and used calendars on multiple devices.  All still look normal if I go on iCloud on the web.  In addition, I am subscribed to four other calendars and there is a family calendar that was added when we did the family share the thing (but this calendar go unused).

  Thinking about another problem, I signed on iCloud completely, in the preferences system and back in.  When I started timing, I had three copies of each calendar.  Enter in information for one of the calendars iCloud double, they are all still appear as iCloud.

  All calendars icloud normally appear on the web and other devices.

  I tried to remove some of the calendars shared double, but if I can do a 'refresh', the duplicates back.

  If I delete one of the subscribed calendars, she and all the duplicates disappear.

  Any ideas on how to get my iMac to think there is only one of each?

  Thanks in advance.

  I would simply note that a workaround is to hide duplicates of each calendar - at least I have only one occurrence of each event. Just fix the symptom, not the problem.

• When I tried to save copies of some e-mails on a disc, multiple copies of each email appeared on my desk

  original title: dozens and dozens of copies on my desk!

  When I tried to save copies of some e-mails on a disc, multiple copies of each email appeared on my desktop running Windows XP.  When I try to delete them, more appear.  Similarly when I drag and drop into the trash.  In addition, there are more icons that I can see on the edge of the screen that I can't even.  All these icons are concealing my common icons on the desktop.  What is happening and how to fix this?

  You reply to the message of the month:

  What you were doing was to occupy the office with the files.  Right-click on the Start button and select Explorer.  Then in Explorer navigate to the office on the left in the list of folders.  Then to the right, go to view | Details and you should see then the entire list of files on the desktop and you can prune from there.

• Each Contact shows three Sections of Google Contacts?

  When I go into a contact to edit the news, and I scroll down, there are three separate sections of Google contacts, which show the same information, with the exception of the first of three which shows actually of two sections with the exact same address. Everyone is like that? If not, how can I get rid of two of the Google Contacts and to avoid duplication of addresses? I looked in my account under settings and there is only one account listed Google.

  Thanks for your help.

  Can you tell us if your contacts Google list is clean (no registrations multiple addresses for each contact)?

• address book imported contains six copies of each address

  I imported my address book Outlook Express (Address Book.WAB) to the TB, but now I have six copies of each address in the imported address book. Remove any address book and import doesn't only add another copy of each address. How can I eliminate all additional copies of each address?

  No one comes to my help, in spite, I came across a solution on my own. In my TB profile there is a file named impab.mab that I'm going to make a wild guess that means any Address Book.Mozilla address book. If that is correct, I deleted and re-imported successfully then my addresses. Then, I deleted abook.mab and renamed my new impab.mab as abook.mab. Voila! The addresses appear in my personal address book TB. That may help some other poor soul looking for a response.

• For the last week or three Firefox updated two or three times for each update and sometimes for no apparent reason...

  For the last week or three Firefox updates two or three times for each update. Sometimes it refreshes without obvious reason. For example, I'll be in the middle of typing in the message forum block & it refreshes. Or by filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

  You can check for problems caused by an extension that is not working properly.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

• Four of each Contact

  Each of my contacts appears four times in the Contacts application. The problem is when I try to remove duplicates, it removes all the entries for this contact, as if somehow related. I see the same behavior on two of my Macs (signed with the same account), but my iOS devices show only one entry for each contact. I went to Contacts > Preferences > accounts and I only see an account enabled, is not a question of contacts multiple conflicting accounts.

  The other weird thing and I think that it is the source of the problem, is I see many different 'Groups' entries, which are simply called "map". Each of them contains essentially the same contacts.

  

  Any advice on how to proceed? I just need to stop all contacts and then add my accounts? Or is it possible that I can remove some of these 'maps' to solve this problem?

  SJF,

  Save your iCloud Contacts: If you see duplicate contacts after the implementation of iCloud - Apple Support Contacts.

  Have you tried to disable-checking/re-checking the setting "Enable this account" during Contacts > Preferences... > accounts?

  What happens at the entrances to the 'card' after 'uncheck '?

  Another option, if this is not successful, is to Turn Off / on the System Preferences... > iCloud > select Contacts.

  

• My contacts appear in the iCloud, but I want to export them to Microsoft Outlook 2007.  How should I accomplish this goal?

  My contacts appear in the iCloud, but I would like to export/import in Microsoft Outlook 7.  How can I accomplish this?

  The iCloud Control Panel for Windows will synchronize your iCloud, calendar and Messaging Contacts in Outlook:

  • Download iCloud for Windows - Apple Support

  Alternatively you can export icloud.com and import in Outlook:

  • iCloud: exporting contact information as a vCard

  Export from icloud.com Windows seems to only work using Firefox according to other information on these forums, so if you have problems with the web browser, give firefox a go.

• Apparently I have inadverdently clicked on something that has changed my address book listings to show only the first three letters of each name.

  the column showing my address book now shows only the first three characters of each name
  It's as if they have all been abbreviated

  I try to decipher the names of these three characters before clicking on
  to see the
  address window of the person with all of the information

  I'd like to be able to read the name first & last as before

  Thanks in advance

  Try dragging the column header to create the wider column

• installation of iTunes on Windows 10 many double copies of each song

  When I first installed iTunes on my Windows 7 PC I was told to adjust the following parameters to make sure that all the music files added to the iTunes Library is copied to the folder of my iTunes on the PC

  iTunes > edit > Preferences > tab advanced and then check keep iTunes Media folder organized and copy files to the Media folder when adding to the iTunes library have been selected.

  And that if they were not already selected, select these options, then go to

  iTunes > > file > library > organize library > select consolidate files > OK

  So far so good, it worked a treat on Windows 7

  I got my years re-built PC for facing the windows of 10, which was all the same a Windows 7 upgrade, but a clean virtual install as all programs had to be reinstalled. I had backed up my music and copied this back on the PC before installing iTunes v 12.3.2.35 (64-bit) and proceed as follows, but to my dismay, I discovered that there were 2 or sometimes even 4 copies of each song that took a while to sort manually

  What had I done wrong?

  And what should I do to install iTunes properly with one copy of each song, and to ensure that all files added to the iTunes Music Library is copied to the folder of my iTunes on the new PC?

  It will be more useful to know the correct procedure, so I don't make the same mistake again.

  You must have saved the folder iTunes as a working library, then restored it. No need to add multimedia elements as it would all have been in the library. The approach I recommend is given here: backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library.

  I saw you asking about duplicates before you set about cleaning them I would have offered this: Re: removing duplicate songs he removes ALL the same songs who has saved you some time and effort.

• Each song appears 4 times

  Hello
  I transferred several files from my PC to SANSA VIEW. All files were transferred successfully except one with 137 songs that each song appears 4 times in my reader!
  I deleted the folder once and copy it again to the player, but the same problem repeated itself.
  How should I do?

  Thank you very much!
  The problem has been resolved.
  We have to drag the folder and do not copy!
  Also, I don't understand why should there be a difference between drag and drop and copy.
