Can anyone help me with iPhone 6 and removing Facebook contacts?
I recently got an iPhone 6 and i recently set up a family sharing plan and now all of a sudden all my Facebook contacts are now in my contacts on my phone and I do not want that - they are mostly just email addresses and I manually have the one's I want in my phone already so don't want those Facebook email addresses in my contacts on my phone. When I go to edit them (they have an "F" by the picture) and go to the bottom it doesn't give me the Delete option, only to "link contacts". There are also some others I can delete and not sure where they are pulling from, but I only want the contacts I first set up and not all these extras...how do I get rid of them so it doesn't sync and keep adding them back please? I went under Settings/Contacts but turning that off removes most all my contacts...Please, any help is appreciated.
Hi Gary Schnetter,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have enabled Contacts in your Facebook settings. You can navigate to Settings > Facebook to see these settings. Please use the attached article to use as a reference for this situation.

CAn anyone help me with MAIL and my earthlink account?
I've had DSL with Earthlink for several years now and never had connection problems. In the past two weeks, however, MAIL will sometimes fail to send email and sometimes fail to retrieve email from my Earthlink webmail account. The strangest thing is that this happens intermittently, even though no settings have been changed. Most of the time I can retrieve email, but other times I get the error message that "port 110 has timed out". Most of the time, I cannot send email, but other times the email shoots right through when I open mail.
I called Earthlink about this and we set up my MAIL program step by step according to Earthlink guidelines. Unfortunately, this did not help the matter.
My MAIL preference settings are as follows:
My incoming mail server is pop.mindspring.com on port 110.
My outgoing mail server is smtpauth.earthlink.net. The outgoing server port is 587. SSL is not checked. Authentication is by password.
All of these settings are correct according to the Earthlink tech.
If this matters, my G5 is connected wirelessly to an Airport Express base station.
Again, I'm puzzled that I've only just begun to have these issues and they seem to happen randomly.I also see that similar discussions have been had on this forum with Earthlink and MAIL, but I don't see any resolutions. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

Message was edited by: Kevin RobinsonI had problems with my Earthlink DSL quitting about a month ago. I went through some of the same Earthlink tech support troubleshooting hoops, hooking directly into my ethernet port not into the Airport etc. Eventually an Earthlink senior tech said my Netopia modem was defective. After some financial haggling they sent me a new Zycel modem, that didn't work either. Earthlink made an appointment and sent out an AT&T tech to the house. He hooked in and said it was a defective phone company circuit board. The AT&T tech called in for the phone company to change the circuit board now both the Netopia and Zycel modems work.
Note: while checking the line, the AT&T tech it my DSL line was sending one protocol it would work if my modem was set up to receive it. (protocol is my word I don't remember his exact word).
Another Note: Also when Earthlink wanted to replace my modem they wanted my to pay (the dollar amounts are approximate) $80 for an new modem, or get a free modem with an exorbitant $40 shipping fee and commit to an other year of service. I eventually bargained down to a free modem, free shipping and $20 off the monthly fee. -
Can anyone help me with iphone
i recently had my iphone stolen,by someone i thought was a friend,my question is can i track my missing phone someway.. thanks .. ps can the iphone be unlocked an used by someone else
There is no way to track your iPhone if lost or stolen.
If you had the iPhone passcode lock enabled along with the erase data option, which completely erases the iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts, this should help. Only someone who knows what they are doing and has the appropriate tools can get past the passcode lock feature. The average joe who steals an iPhone won't have the appropriate tools the get past the passcode lock feature and won't be interested in accessing any of your data on the iPhone. This doesn't prevent someone from restoring the iPhone with iTunes on their computer as a new iPhone.
Have you contacted O2 to report your iPhone as stolen, and have reported this to the police? If not, you need to do so.
Regardless if the passcode lock feature was enabled, you should change the password for any email accounts that you were accessing with the iPhone's mail client.
Other than this, there isn't much else you can do. -
Hello can anyone help me with iphone 4s problems
hi all, got my iphone 4s a few weeks ago, few things im having probs with,one being when connected to my wifi in my house it decides to dissconnect it every few seconds on its own( my 3g never used to do this), and another prob is when downloading any app from the app store, the app box comes up on the screen but the progess bar does not move to show its downloading and the box stays grey no matter how long i wait, but if i then turn the phone off then back on again, the app is installed ? cheers
Sounds like you are getting interference from something locally. Talk to O2 to see if anything can be done.

Can anyone help me with Safari and the iTunes Store??
I cannot access the iTunes Store. It says, "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari.". When I go to download the latest version it won't let me. Does anyone know what I can do? I haven't been able to access iTunes Store through my iTunes account for a while now.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your helpTry assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I have updated my phone to iOS 8.2 and i m new to using iPhone. Whenever i am trying to open my iTunes store, its only showing me the option to open the iTunesU store. Can anyone help me with that?
Unfortunately Pakistan is one of those countries where media isn't available from iTunes - when that might change we won't know (we are fellow users on here) until if/when Apple announce something.
Are there other music purchase download sites available there ? Or you can copy your CDs via your computer's iTunes and sync them to your phone -

i have an iphone 3gs and everytime i try to restore it on itunes it just keeps saying an unknown erroe has occured (29) can anyone help me with this??
Hello Laura,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article that has information about Error 29:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a setting that I need to check?
All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then? -
Hi, I'm using a white iPhone 4s with 16gb memory and having some problems. Whenever I use earphones the sound will be heated when the volume is at the highest if I turn it down any lower all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem as I would appreciate it much.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on. -
