Deleted items re-appearing?
Hi.
Moved to iOS5 for iphone 3Gs. Signed in with MobieMe. Next day, upon plugging in to charge & sync, many conflicts or "modifying more than 5% of ...." messages Some were easy to resolve, others were skipped for later.
Upon initial iOS5 set-up, noticed contacts had about 70 blank entries (out of 1200 or so contacts). Deleted these on the iphone. Found them also in contacts on imac, so deleted them there, too. Tonight, message said more than 5% modified contacts when syncing 3gS so chose sync later, logged into mobileme account. Sure enough, about 70 blank no-name contacts, so deleted them in mobileme, also.
But bigger problem is with bookmarks. Many months ago, an Xmarks bookmark sync bug resulted in dozens of duplicate bookmarks (in Firefox, then synced to safari, across both imac and powerbook). As xMarks stopped syncing, apparently overwhelmed with so many duplicates, one chose decided to delete most all the duplicates (about 1200). Voila, this fixed the sync problem, so could have same bookmarks again in both firefox & safari on both imac and powerbook. Sweet!
Tonight, somehow all those old duplicate bookmarks were still on mobileme (perhaps I'd shutoff syncing to mbileme and forgot for many months? Now, mobileme wants to reload these old duplicates back on my iphone, which certainly do not want mobileme to do.
How to locate mobileme bookmarks and delete them, so mobileme reloads bookmarks from either the imac or iphone? Same for dock items, as mobileme also wants to sync several old dock items back into the imac doc.
Incidentally, had problems with 3gs on iOS4 with many repeating calendar entries duplicated. Some would not even be deletable!
On iOS5, noticed a few, though far fewer than before (best guess perhaps 90% of duplicate repeating entries) now are fixed (gone), so apparently apple put some effort to eliminate calendar duplicate entries upon upgrading to iOS5??? Appreciate that!
