all of my contacts that are on my mac appear twice in my ipad contacts? How can I delete the dupes?
Are you using iCloud?
First, go to icloud.com on a computer and make sure things look correct there.
If so, go to Settings > iCloud and sign out. Then go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and see if you still have an iCloud account. If you do, delete it. Now go back to Settings > iCloud and sign in again.
When the dialogs ask if you want to delete your Contacts, Calendars, or whatever from the iPad, say yes. They will come back when you turn iCloud back on.
So twerppoet, let me see if I understand. So you are essentially turning off or deleting the contacts from the iPad, but leaving contacts switched on in iCloud. That way to prevent duplicity?
