Can i erase & sync but keep contacts?

i purchased an album with itunes on a pc, now i want to transfer them to my iphone but it says i must erase & sync to do this, but will i lose all my address book contacts & phone numbers doing this?
thanks

It will cost you another buck
Right click on the song and select create ringtone after that is self explanatory
Oh yeah and after you create the ringtone you go to the ringtone tab of the iPhone and select to sync ringtones

Hi Friend,
Reboot your iPhone (press and hold sleep and home button until turns off and appear the Apple logo. Then try it again.
If the problem persists, check if you have Restrictions on in your iPhone.
And, how do you insert contacts in your iPhone before? Is your contacts imported from Outlook, email account or something like this? If you have imported contacts from Outlook or email account, it maybe cannot allow you to erase/edit your contacts.
Hope it helps

HT4993 I have 3 phones under the same apple ID. I want to remove mine from the same one my kids use. How can I do this but keep their's on the current apple ID?

I have 3 phones on one apple ID. I want to remove my phone which is the main phone on the acct to it's own apple ID. How can I do that but keep the other 2 on the current ID

When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
On the iPad itself, it's under
Settings
iTUnes and App Stores
and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

How do I duplicate a photo in iPhone 5 so I can edit the copy but keep original?

How do I duplicate a photo in iPhone 5 so I can edit the copy but keep original?
I see where it lets me click "Copy" but where in my library do I paste the copy?
Thanks!

This is rather interesting...
I could sweat that in iOS 6. When you click Save it gave you the option to keep a copy of original or just save the new picture in replace of the old.
Now what it does, it saves the "edit" in the file. But when you go to make another change, you can see the original picture still.
At least I did when I cropped it.

My computer crashed and I downloaded Itunes on a new computer and I'm trying to get new music and it says my Ipod is synced with another itunes library {my dead computer} and I can either erase and sync or transfer itunes purchases. Is there any way possible I dont have to erase my music? So frustrating.

Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

Removing mail for exchange but keeping contacts

Is there any way to remove my Mail for Exchange account, but keep the contacts?
Everytime I remove the mail for exchange account, the contacts get deleted, but I want them to stay on the phone.
If not, I have VCards of the contacts, can I import those? I can't seem to be able to do this at all.

Still looking for an answer for this.

Can I "Un Sync" my google contacts from my new phone?

I synced my google contacts to my old phone (3G) and they were not merged with my regular phone book contacts..
Now on my 3G(s) they are all merged together causing a nightmare for me!
Can I remove them somehow?
Thanks

Alright, first thing you're going to want to do is go downstairs and create a backup of your address book. To back up: Open Address Book and choose Back up Address Book from the File menu. A dialog appears, asking you to choose a save location—it also adds the current date to the saved file name too. Choose where you want to save the backup, then click Save.
Once you've got this, we're safe to start tinkering. On that downstairs computer, connect your iPhone and get to the "Info" tab in iTunes. Select sync contacts then scroll down to the bottom of this area to the "Advanced" section and select "Contacts" - this tells iTunes to replace the contacts that are on your iPhone with the information that is on this computer. Now click "Apply." iTunes will prompt you that this iPhone is currently synced with another computer (library) and ask you if you want to merge or replace. You want to choose REPLACE. Keep in mind that you've got all your data backed up and also on your other computer, so you're safe to do this.
Once the sync is complete, check your iPhone and make sure you've got all your contacts the way you want (sans Google contacts).
Now go back to your computer with the messed up contacts. Before we plug in your iPhone, we need to clean out your address book on this Mac. Make sure that you've turned off syncing with Google Contacts (Check Address Book > Preferences) then delete all of your contacts from Address Book (feel free to create a backup before doing this if you like).
Once this is done, plug in your iPhone and enable contact syncing (and anything else you want to sync). DO NOT CHECK ANYTHING IN THE ADVANCED SECTION. Select sync and iTunes will again throw a dialog telling you that your iPhone is currently synced with another computer. This time, we want to MERGE all of our data (bringing the contacts from the downstairs computer to this computer).
I hope this helps and is clear enough.

Stop music sync but keep songs on iPhone

Hi,
I may be missing something here but my iPhone is running out of space by my ever growing iTune playlist that syncs to it and was wandering if I could stop it syncing whilst keeping the songs. If I unselect the sync option it will delete all the songs too
The playlist in question also syncs to the iPod so I could create a new playlist just for the iPhone but considering I have numeorus playlists and smart playlists I just didn't want to add yet another one!
Thanks,
Leonardo

So the songs were not in your iTunes library on your computer to begin with?
Sync via iTunes is one way, computer > device.
If you purchase media on the device, you can select Files > Transfer purchases to move that content to your iTunes library.
If this is content that was somehow loaded from another computer or iTunes library, there is really nothing you can do.

In AdvancedDataGrid - how can I stop sorting but keep order?

I've seen this question a few times on the web and so far no one has come up with a workable solution.
I'm using the sorting in ADG with an XMLListCollection bound as a dataprovider. The user's are not happy because if the data changes in the column that's being sorted, the list resorts. How can I remove the dynamic sorting but keep the order of the sort. We want it to work like Excel where you do a sort but when you change the data it doesn't reorder the list. What's the best, easiest way to do this? My guess would be that I want to make a copy of the XMLListCollection but somehow save it in sorted order, then swap the copy in for the other XMLListCollection. Not sure how to do that. Thanks for any help.

I can log into sync but it never finishes

I'm using firefox 30, everything is updated. When i try to sync my desktop with my account i can log into the account and the sync starts but it never finishes. None of my passwords or accounts are added. When the sync start there are two blue arrows that circle around one another next to my user name in the menu section, however this then stops. If i then try and disconnect i get this,"Firefox will stop syncing with your account, but won’t delete any of your browsing data on this computer." I'm unsure if this is due to my account not having anything within it or just not finishing the sync, but I'm unsure how or if it's possible to check what is held in my account.

I tried all three of those suggestions and when I reinstalled I removed all of the current addons and personal data. Completely fresh. When I tries to sync again it added a couple of addons that were on the exsisting one but nothing from my account. Any other suggestions?

Ical will not sync on Mountain Lion. Only groups sync but no contacts.

iCal is populated with Groups but no contacts appear. iCal is fine on other Macs on same account.

mc,
Use iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar to help solve your problem. If the link says unavailable when your click on it, just refresh the page and it will display properly.

Mavericks can't sync contacts need to sync multiple family iPhones to same account but keep contacts in separate groups

Both my wife and son have iPhones and prior to mavericks I was able to sync contacts through iTunes and select which group of contacts synced with the phone so for instance my son would only see his contacts and my wife her own,but the imac would hold the master back up
I cannot see anyway to do this now as the only way to sync contacts appears to be through icloud.i can't find any support documents to explain what happens if I turn icloud sync on as all it says on iphone is merge contacts which presumably would then put all contacts on each phone
Does anyone know how I could achieve the desired goal?

1 person = 1 account
iCloud is for individual use, so if 5 people share the same account they will get all of the contacts (and calendar events) in the account. Kinda messy.
Give each person their own account in iCloud and their own user account on the Mac.
iTunes can still be shared with a seperate ID for all to use.
Syncing via iTunes has nothing to do with iCloud, and is no longer possible with Mavericks.

HT204053 3 iphones, 3 ipods and a pad...can we share music while keeping contacts and photos seperate but backed up with 1 apple id and 1 icloud?

I have an apple id account set up with an icloud; I would like to continue to share the music from my devices while keeping the contacts and photos seperate, is this possible? My wife and daughter received iphones for Christmas, I set up my daughters phone to my cloud and all of my contacts and photos ended up on her phone. Is there a way to keep them seperate in 1 cloud (with folders or something) or does each phone need its own icloud? And if so, can we still keep 1 apple id for music purchases or will we not be able to share music anymore? Thank you for any help you can provide, I am confused with all of this as we are fairly new to the apple world.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are separate things. You can keep using a single ID for iTunes and use separate ID's for iCloud, thereby keeping mail, contact etc separate.

How can I use iCloud, but keep Outlook contacts separate from Yahoo/iPhone contacts?

I'm using a new laptop that uses Outlook and I want to share those contacts on my iPhone without merging them with personal and Yahoo contacts. Our tech guy told me to use my Apple ID, but that is what I use for iTunes, etc and when I used that ID it merged Outlook with my personal contacts which is what I don't want to do. Do I need to create a separate Apple ID for the laptop and use my old Apple ID for my Yahoo and iPhone?

The "All Contacts" view will consolidate all of your sources into one list. This is primarily for ease of use. Contacts synced from different sources, e.g. iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo, etc. are actually kept in separate data stores. There will be no cross-contamination of your address books.
