Delete Exchange Account: All Data is Gone. How to avoid?

Hi all
I'm trying to delete an Exchange account from my iPhone (I change jobs). When doing so, all data is gone: Mail (ok, of course), calendar (I've got lots of private entries there), and contacts (same here).
Is there a way to avoid deletion of this data when deleting an exchange account?
(I had the same problem years ago with a cancelled MobileMe test account: all data was gone. I thought it was a bug then. But no, looks they consider it a feature. Unbelievable...)
Regards & thanks
R.

Only way is to back up all the data from your office PC BEFORE you leave the job.
The appointments and contact etc. do not live on your phone, they live on your Exchange server.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Maybe ask someone in the Apple iPad forum. This is the Snow Leopard forum.

When I try to delete my account from my iPod it says "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" Will I lose my pictures on my iPod?

I changed my email on my computer for my itunes and icloud. It made me manually change it on my ipod even after I synced. It won't change my email for my icloud and I have to delete it manually. "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" comes up. Will I lose all my data stored on my iPod?

You will only lose your iCloud data, That includes iCloud backup, iCloud Contacts and Calendar, Reminders, Notes, everything listed in Settings>iCloud

Adobe forms survey became blank and all data is gone

We used Adobe forms central to create a survey. We received approximately 105 responses, at which point I saved a copy of the responses in a pdf form to share with our team. We later logged in to Adobe forms to see if any other respondents had completed the survey and discovered the entire form was blank. All text, questions, and options were gone. The only thing remaining was the image in the header. While Adobe still reported 105 responses all data was gone. Any help retrieving the data and returning the survey text would be greatly appreciated!

Please share the form with me ([email protected]) as a co-author. I will see if I can help.

I have updated my iphone4 and all data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution?

All data that was on your iPhone should be on your computer.
All photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer should remain on your computer and can be retransferred. Photos/videos captured by the iPhone can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before installing an iOS update. Re-transfer these photos from your computer as with any other photos available on your computer.
Contacts and notes are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and there are some free email accounts that support syncing contacts and notes over the air.

HT4910 I accidentally deleted my AppleID off of one device and it deleted my account all together.

I deleted my AppleID off of one device and it deleted my account all together on every device. Have I lost all of the apps on my devices if I create a new account and sign in using my devices? Or is there a way to get back the deleted account?

What, exactly, did you do to "delete" your ID off of your device? Where did you delete it? What you do on one device has no effect on any other device, unless you are talking about changing your Apple ID or something along those lines. So we need to know what you mean by "deleted" it, and what you did to do that.

That is your mail account (or one of them anyway) and you need to get it from your Exchange administrator.

Using DW CS6; when uploading a site DW changes all dates to today; how can I upload without changing the file-dates?

Using DW CS6; when uploading a site DW changes all dates to today;
how can I upload the site whilst preserving existing file-dates?
Thanks
Paul

How are you uploading?
I do not see this behavior in DWCS4 or DWCC (I assume nothing changed in DWCS6 and then back for DWCC, but I could be wrong).
However, when I upload, I only select the files I have modified after an initial "Upload Entire Site? Yes/No" prompt. If you aren't selecting specific files to upload, and you're overwriting the files on your server with new copies of your entire local site each time, the mod dates would show as the date/time of your upload.
To select only the files that have changed since your last upload...
1. Right click on your local root folder in the Files window under Local View
2. Go to Select > Newer Local from the context menu
3. Wait until DW is done talking to the server, it could take a while, when it's done, all of the files that have a newer mod date locally than their server counterparts will be selected
4. Click the Put (up arrow) button
For me, this process never changes the dates of files that aren't part of the upload.

Completely delete Exchange account from Mail client on Mac

I'm having a problem with a several e-mail messages in my Mail client. These messages seem "stuck" in that whenever I try to delete these messages, I get an error message in Mail that says:
An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Trash — Exchange”.
I named the account Exchange. These messages are NOT on my Exchange mail server anymore - I also access my mail from an Outlook client as well and these "stuck" messages do not appear in Outlook which is pulling directly from Exchange.
My first attempt to resolve was to delete the account from the Mail client and set it up again. All of the folders and e-mail messages re-appeared almost instantly so it obviously didn't go out to the Exchange server and pull down over 100K e-mail messages in 30 seconds.
Then I spoke to AppleCare. They directed me to the Library to delete a subfolder in the Mail folder that appeared to contain the messages. When I emptied the Trash, it appeared that the 100K messages were being deleted. I went to Mail to setup the account again. Again, the messages reappeared quickly as before and the problem messages were still there as if they never were deleted.
So now I'm looking for a way to completely the Exchange account and all of its local data from Mail. I want the Mail client to start from scratch and go out to the Exchange server to get the data like the account had never been setup on this Mac before. I'd also opt for a fresh install of Mail but I have a MBA 11 so I don't have OS media or a DVD drive.
Somewhere Mail is clealry caching info on that account. It's apparent when I've deleted the account and then re-opened Mail to set it back up the first time. Whenever the dialog box appears, it remembers my Exchange e-mail account information in the field so it's obviously pulling that information from somewhere locally on the Mac, not from the server.

As you say, removing the Exchange account on Mail really doesn't delete it. It's caching something because of how quickly it finds the folders etc. if you add the account again.
I was having a lot of very strange problems with Mail/Contacts/Calendar and certainly a new user I set up from scratch worked with Mail etc. straight away. I didn't test it for days but within seconds it pulled down all the correct emails and the number of unread tallied with my iPhone which was one of the annoying problems I was having.
One of the things I read elsewhere is how useful doing a Mailbox/Rebuild from within Mail is. I just tried it now on my existing user name and it certainly seems to have helped. It immediately refreshed the Inbox and had it accurate. However, despite having it set to "1 min checking for new mail" after several mins it seems to have hung again and isn't refreshing.
Mail for OSX has caused me a million more problems that for iOS which just works every time. I don't see how Apple can make it work so smoothly on iOS and give loads of problems on OSX.
Have you tried the Mailbox/Rebuild?

TS4363 exchange account configuration option is gone for apple mail 6.0

why are there no account options. I have an exchange account that automatically configures to pop and is terrible., pop needs to simply drift into the history books and leave the email world to imap and echange and everyother email protocol that is read on all devices... I can use and have configured an account from a previous install that functions fine but fail bucket on setup of a new one:(

Okay - I fixed it. Here's what I did.
- Deleted the entire mail folder inside my Preferences folder. ~/Library/<userfolder>
- Kept the files in the trash just in case, but didn't need them
- Rebooted
- Opened the System Preferences
- Selected "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"
- Verified the previous account was gone
- Clicked Create
- Created a new account and then opened Mail
- Voila! Email
Note - if you trash the mail folder inside Preferences, it will delete any local emails. All my email is IMAP and I never store anything locally, so everything syched right back when the account was recreated.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Want to delete Exchange account but keep contacts

I had an Exchange account setup on my iphone but I want to delete it now. Problem is, I have all my contacts in that Exchange account. When I try removing the account, it warns me that all contacts will be deleted. How do I save my contacts so they arent deleted?

If you have your contact information available with a supported application on computer for syncing contact information with your iPhone via the iTunes sync process such as with Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can transfer the contact information to your iPhone that way.
When you enable over the air syncing for contact information with an Exchange account or with a MobileMe account, existing contact information on your iPhone is erases and replaced with the contact information available on the server. When deleting such an account on your iPhone, all contact information that was transferred to your iPhone via the over the air sync process is also deleted.

Delete exchange account profile

I just left a job for which I installed an Exchange email profile on my iPhone 5. I already turned off all the email, contacts, calendars and reminders under General settings, but I am having trouble deleting the account completely. There is no 'delete account' button at the bottom like there is for my gmail account. Instead it says the settings are installed by a profile. There is not option to delete the profile name it mentions. Anyone know how to delete an Exchange profile?
