How to get contacts unlinked from old email and put onto iCloud

I have an OLD hotmail account I haven't used in 10+ years that I was using as my Windows Live login when I had a Windows phone a few years ago. I linked it when I got my iPhone, and I think it became associated with a lot of my contacts. Now, I don't have the people's numbers saved in the Hotmail account, which has been deactivated due to inactivity (but I can still log in if I so desired) but those contacts are attached to that email address in my phone. There are about 50 of them and are all the important ones, my oldest friends and family etc. Lately I've been having issues with my phone and have either had to restore it or my contacts just disappear out of the blue, and every time I have to re-sync it with three different email addresses to get all my contacts. I really want to get the contacts unassociated with the Hotmail account and have them all together on my iCloud. It seems like it should be something fairly straightforward and simple, but I cannot figure it out. Any insight? Thanks in advance.

To do this, do the following:
Reactivate and sync the Hotmail contacts back to you phone.  Confirm that they appear in the Contacts app.
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Hotmail) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Hotmail account and turn off contacts syncing with Hotmail.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.
Confirm that all your contacts are in iCloud, including your Hotmail contacts.  If so, you can delete the Hotmail account from your phone again.
If you're having trouble with contact syncing, continue to use the app to make periodic backups of your contacts so you don't lose them.

    When i got my iphone 4s i didn't have a laptop so i had to download itunes onto my mums computer. I now have a laptop and i want to take photostream off my mums computer and put it onto my laptop but its all so confusing. please help!!!!

    PhotoStream is a cloud service. You can't "take it off one computer and put it on another." All you do is enable it on the other computer. You can do that in iPhoto preferences.

    I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do:  Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version!    One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

  • How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

    How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

    Options:
    1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
    This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
    This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

    You'll need a MicroSD Card in the Voyager's Card slot.  Copy the photos from the internal memory of your phone to the SD Card.  Now you're ready to install the USB Drivers on your PC so you can connect your phone.  Download the Drivers from Verizon's web site or go to http://www.lgforum.com/resources and under the Verizon section, download the "LG_USB_Drivers.." file and install the drivers on your PC.  Next plug the Voyager into the USB port and from the "Tools" menu on the phone go to USB Connection and choose Mass Storage Mode and the SD cad in your phone will show up on your PC.  You can now copy files to and from the Voyager.

  • How to get missing songs from old phone

    Hello all,
    I recently broke my iphone and I just received a new one in the mail the other day.  I created a backup in itunes and used that backup to restore my new phone. However, when my new phone was finished restoring I was missing about 1000 songs.  Without starting over what is the best way to get the missing music from my old phone to the new one?  Can I load itunes on another computer and then sync my music from my old phone and then just copy the library to itunes on my main computer? Thanks for any help.

    Hi HelpPleaseMan,
    >>How to get a photo from windows phone 8 programmatically and how to save that photo into my phone.
    In Windows Phone 8 we can use the
    PhotoChooserTask to enable users to select an existing photo from the phone.
    For more information, please try to refer to:
    #How to use the photo chooser task for Windows Phone 8:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh394019(v=vs.105).aspx .
    Besides, we can also use the
    CameraCaptureTask to enable users to take a photo from your application using the built-in Camera application. If the user completes the task, an event is raised and the event handler receives a photo in the result. On Windows Phone 8, if the user accepts
    a photo taken with the camera capture task, the photo is automatically saved to the phone’s camera roll.

    tried nokia PC suite, but however it can find the phone, it still writes "connnected in a non-compatible mode" and nothing is displayed...
    if someone knows, how to help me, thanks

    you could try a few ways, not sure which will give best success:
    Copy the contacts from 6233 to the SIM and then move the SIM to the new phone (assumes both phones are from same network operator or one of them is unlocked), then copy contacts back from SIM to N79
    Install latest PC suite, backup 6233 to PC and then restore just the contacts data to the N79
    Run the Switch application in the N79, it might be able to pull some content off your 6233
    Send the contact as "business card" via bluetooth to the N79 (not sure if there is a 'select all' option in the 6233 contacts application.

  • How to send ical invites from another email address than the iCloud address

    Hi everyone,
    I have set up my calendars in ical to work with icloud and everything is going great.
    The problem i have is that when i invite someone to a meeting or reply to a meeting invite the invitation is send from my iCloud email address. Instead i want the invitation or reply to be send my business email account.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to select which account the invtiations are sent from?
    Thanks

    1. I didn't replace my [email protected] login with my [email protected] email. I only changed my email information to my [email protected] email. I still login with [email protected]
    2. The me card in both my local address book and the addressbook on iCloud only contains my [email protected] email.
    From what I've read in other threads, changing the apple id email means deleting my iCloud account and starting over with a new login email. Apple officially says that it's not possible. But others seem to have succeed with it.
    Do you know of any other solution?

    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi Hanimi,
    1. You need to extend the VO, add a new Attribute.
    2. In VORowImpl of the extended VO, you can find the getter for your new attribute (example getItem())
    3. In this getter method you can write some code like:
    if("ABC".equals(getItemDescription())
    return "XYZ" ;

  • How to get the data from one table and insert into another table

    Hi,
    We have requirement to build OA page with the data needs to be populated from one table and on save data into another table.
    For the above requirement what the best way to implement in OAF.
    I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
    Thanks

    You can achieve this in many different ways, one is
    1. Create another VO based on the EO which is based on the dest table.
    2. At save, copy the contents of the source VO into the dest VO (see copy routine in dev guide).
    3. commiting the transaction will push the data into the dest table on which the dest VO is based.
    I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
    if by table you mean a DB table, then no, you can have a VO based on multiple EOs which will do DMLs accordingly.Thanks
