Can I merge my iPhone address book with my iMac address book? I do not want to replace one for the other, just combine them.
It seems that you have to choose one or the other, keep iMAcc addresses or iPhone.

Indeed you can merge the address book using iCloud. You can find the info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998. I am not sure if you can de-duplicate though.
If that doesn't work or you want more out of your address book, you can always try connex.io (I work for the company). It's a service that automatically syncs, deduplicates, cleans and updates your address book across many different devices and services. If you want to try it out, you can get a free trail version at www.connex.io.
Good luck!

    What do you mean "Leave them my laptop again"? do you mean you have had it worked on before? for the same problem or a different one?
    You need to take it in to Apple ASAP. No matter how long they have it, you want it fixed and fixed correctly.

  • How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

    How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
    Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
    Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
    There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

  • HT4009 How can i get an item purchased "in-game" to be put into my account, i purchased two items one after the other and the first is somehow unavailable?

    My Wi-Fi may have shut off for a moment and a "pop-up" from the game came up and said "the purchase could not be made at the apple store, please try again at a later time"
    I restarted my phone (shut off and turned on) and let it sit for about 10 sec before i noticed it was on.
    I restarted the app and made an other purchase this time it worked- however, my problem is that I am being charged for BOTH purchases and "in-game" only one of the purchases is shown i.e. Gems in "The Legend of the Cryptics" first purchase 1300 gems second purchase(after the phone was restarted) 3800 gems.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    While I agree that it would be nice if it was easier to transfer media from your Apple devices they should never be used as the sole location for any of your media. They are too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. The user tip above also includes a link to a suggested library backup strategy so that you can avoid being in the same position in future.

  • Can I have LV RT version 5.1.2 and version 7.1 on the same PXI controller if I just want to run one or the other at one time?

    I have LabVIEW Real-Time 5.1.2 on my PXI-8170 controller. If I install LabVIEW Real-Time 7.1 on the controller will I still be able to go back and run my 5.1.2 code? Also, what will happen to my 5.1.2 NI-DAQ software if I install the 7.1 NI-DAQ software?

    Hello,
    You can only have one version of LV RT installed on a controller at a time. If you install LV 7.1 on your controller your 5.1 code should still run because LV is backwards compatible. Your NI-DAQ software should still run because it is also backwards compatible. Once you open and save your LV 5.1 code in LV 7.1 it will be recompiled and saved for version LV 7.1. You will no longer be able to open that code in previous versions of LV. Therefore I recommend making a backup of the original 5.1 code.
    Are you going to be using different host computers? If not you should know that you can only have one version of NI-DAQ installed on your host machine. So as soon as you install NI-DAQ 7.2 on your host machine you are no longer able to use previou
    s versions of NI-DAQ.

  • HT5622 facetime not connecting to all devices that use the same apple id.  I have both an iphone and ipad.  Incomin facetime calls connect randomly to one or the other or both.  (should be coming to both)

    I have an iPad and an iPhone, both registered to same AppleID.  Incoming Face time calls ring randomly on one or the other or both (and sometimes none). They should ring on both.

    check the 'recieve at' addresses you set in settings, facetime.  you can have multiple addresses. 
    On mine, i have thre addresses set the same.  I am using both a phone # and my e mail address  (neither one is my apple ID, by the way).
    If somebody calls me to FT using the phone #, the phone rings first, followed by the pad, about 10 sec later.  If they call using the e mail address, they both ring at about the same time.  If one or the other answers, the other device stops ringing. 
    So next time a call comes, wait a bit before answering to see if the other device responds.  and check your receive at addresses.  
    You might want to test a little - have somebody call using one address, or the other, and see if you can track the behavior.

  • Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Are the usernames the same - e.g. is it [email protected] and [email protected] or is it [email protected] and [email protected]?
    If the former, they are the same thing, part of the same account, and deliver into the same inbox.
    If they are different then either
    a) One of them is an 'alias' on the same account and delivers into the same inbox, or
    b) You have two separate iCloud accounts.
    In the latter case you cannot move an address from one account to another; in the other cases they are already 'merged'.

  • Synching desktop Address Book with my .Mac Address Book. Is it possible?

    Can i sync my desktop address book with my .Mac address book?
    Thanks.

    I am also having this problem with my address book synching to .Mac. But my calendar and bookmarks have appeared with no problem so I'm not doing anything wrong -and I haven't created custom profiles either. Do you really think this is due to the lead up to Mobile Me? If so, why did the bookmarks etc sync with no problem? It is frustrating because this is what I really need to access.

    how to connect my iphone to iTunes with my imac so i can mannage my songs and other documents on my phone

    Launch iTunes on your Mac, plug your phone in, select it in the sidebar, select what you want to sync under the various tabs, hit the sync button. If the sidebar is not visible, go up to the "View" menu & select "Show Sidebar".

  • I have 2 Apple ids and two corresponding iCloud accounts. My five Apple devices are linked to one or the other. As one consequence a small number of my contacts are associated with one iCloud account, the majority with the other. How can I merge?

    For reasons not entirely clear to me I have ended up with two Apple ids, two iCloud accounts and my Apple devices being associated with one or the other iCloud account/Apple id. One of the complications is that my contacts are partially owned by one iCloud account, partially by the other.
    Is there any way to
    - merge the contacts (I have tried exporting from one and importing into the other but one set will overwrite the other)?
    - migrate all devices to one single iCloud account without being locked out for 3 months?
    - merge Apple ids or just delete one of them without locking out devices?
    Grateful for any suggestions because this is turning into a headache.

    You can merge the contacts from one account with your other one without overwriting them.  Sign into the first account, download them as vCard (iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard), email them to a device signed into the account you want to merge them with, tap the vCard and choose Add..., then Create New Contacts.
    You can also migrate a copy of the data in one account and merge it with the other by signing into the account you are leaving, then signing out (or deleting the account if not running iOS 8), then choosing Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign into the other account and choose Merge when prompted.  This won't move Notes however.  If you are syncing notes that you want to migrate from the other account, you can temporarily add the account to your Mac as a secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with the other account ID.  Then enable notes syncing in the secondary account.  You will then be able to open the notes app and drag and drop notes from one account to the other.  When you're done, delete the secondary account from your Mac.
    You can't merge IDs as Apple does not allow it.  Also, you won't be locked out of anything for 3 months.  The "90-day switch" rule only applies to changing your iTunes store account, not your iCloud account.  Just leave your iTunes store account as-is.  The ID you use for the iTunes store does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
