Don't want phone to download all of my yahoo contacts.

How do I keep it from dong that and is there anyway to remove them?

I believe it happens in the download app for Y Mail.
There is a little checkbox on the bottom when you set up the yahoo account. if you don't uncheck the box that is how it imports the contacts in your phones contact list.
If you forgot to uncheck it the only way I found is to delete the duplicates from the phones contacts list. Sorry.
however after the account is set up, the merge contacts does not add to your contact list when checking for email.
Yahoo should of had this feature set to off and allowed the user to turn it on if they desired.

  • New Mac - Don't want Mail auto downloading all my old emails.

    I am getting a new Mac and from previous experience, once you open Mail it automatically downloads all the old emails situated on your ISP's mail server.
    As I have got these emails saved on my present computer I don't want all 1,500 of them downloading to my new Mac.
    I could prevent it by deleting the emails on my ISP's mail server but I want to keep them there as an independent  backup.
    Is there any way I can configure Mail to ensure that it only downloads new emails and not the old ones?

    I've been mulling this over overnight and wanted to follow up.
    The only thing I can think of is if your email is set up using the older POP technology, you could do this one of two ways:
    1/ migrate your mail across, then from within the mail app, delete whats there (ensure your delete from server settings are switched to off - if only for this section).  This will tell the server that you've already downloaded the existing mail and it ill only download new emails.  IMPORTANT: this will only work for a POP Account.
    2/ Again, POP only but you could alternatively redownload all the mail, and perform the #1 steps.
    As for IMAP accounts, these by nature Sync with the server, so I think you're firmly out of luck.

  • Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

  • Don't want iTunes to download Album Artwork

    Hi all,
    Since I add all the album-artwork by hand (and include it in the mp3-file) I don't want iTunes to download the artwork automatically.
    So I think i made all the neccessary settings
    (unchecked the 'Automatically download missing album artwork' option in the 'preferences/Store' tab)
    , and cleaned the 'iTunes/Album Artwork/Cache/' and 'iTunes/Album Artwork/Download/' folder.
    But today I noticed that after start of iTunes, there already/again where folders/files in the 'download' folder, these takes unnecessary disk-space etc, so how can i prevent/enable this?
    grts, Peter
    (ps, i don't download music from itunes, I rip my own cd's, put them in a separate folder and add these folders to Itunes library, so

    I have just the same question. I don't want iTunes to store that album artwork, it takes that disk space for nothing, I don't mind if iTunes would have to analyze that data every time I open it

  • How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

    How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

    In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

  • Question - I don't want to auto download apps and music. Can I get rid of Icloud - or will I lose info?

    it's best to just let it download, then delete once it is on your computer.

  • Just set up an email account on new iPhone. How do I stop it wanti g to download all 4,000  emails off my server and just download new emails?

    Just set up an email account on new iPhone. How do I stop it wanti g to download all 4,000  emails off my server and just download new emails?

    You can go into settings, mail, contacts and calendars, and set your mail to only download the last 50.
    When you actually set upthe account, you can go into any available advanced settings and see if that can be set to new mail only. Unfortunately, every mail provider had slightly different things they'll allow you to tweak, so you just have to play to see what you can do.
    For example, when I set up my Yahoo, I have different things I can tweak than I do on my Hotmail account, so some accounts allow more ability to tweak than others.

  • The new php_oci8 don't want to work at all

    I'm about to throw my server by the windows (from the 6th story). I want to run that new extension with all those new features.
    I installed the instantclient 10.2 with PHP 5.1.2 and Apache 2.0.55 on a Windows XP SP2 box. Everything is installed fine, I can run SQLPlus with the instant client, the oci8 module appear in my phpinfo().
    BUT
    Each time I run a PHP script that use oci8, Windows raise an error with Apache2 and OraOCIEI10.dll and the Apache Server crash. I replaced the php_oci8.dll with the old one from PHP 5.0.5 and now It works... But I want to use the new extension!!!
    I read some post that was saying that the instantclient 10.2 have compiled with the MFC 7.1, so I downloaded all the MFC 7.1 dlls and installed them in my windows/system folder, but Apache keep crashing when I run a script.
    Is there somebody who is running the new extension on a config that is similar to me? Please tell me what you did!
    And please don't tell to flush Windows and to run the thing on Linux, because it is not my choice, my boss is a MS fanatic and is affraid by Linux.

    Hi! I'm sure it's uncomment as I did exactly as it said in instruction
    (Uncompress the PHP package to a directory called "C:\php-5.1.3-Win32".
    Copy php.ini-recommended to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\php.ini
    Edit php.ini and perform the following:
    Change extension_dir to "C:\php-5.1.3-Win32\ext", which is the directory containing php_oci8.dll and the other PHP extensions.
    Uncomment (remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line) the line extension=php_oci8.dll
    For testing it is helpful to set display_errors to On so you see any problems in your code.
    Edit the file httpd.conf and add the following lines. Make sure to use forward slashes '/' instead of back slashes '\':
    # This will load the PHP module into Apache
    LoadModule php5_module c:/php-5.1.3-Win32/php5apache2.dll
    # This next section will call PHP for .php, .phtml, and .phps files
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    # This is the directory containing php.ini
    PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf"
    Restart the Apache HTTP Server).Thanks.

  • Don't want auto music download on iPad

    When I buy music from the iTunes store on my iPad, it downloads automatically. I don't want that to happen. I am quite content to leave the music in iTunes in the Cloud untiI I really want it downloaded. I do have automatic downloads turned off in iTunes & App Store settings, but the auto downloads keep happening. Is this normal? What can I do to actually keep unwanted downloads from happening?

    OK, but it makes no sense to me. Given the ease of playing music directly from the cloud, it would seem that the default option would be not to download music automatically, especially when auto downloads is set to off! The way it is now, I have a lot of extra work to do to delete all the songs manually.

  • IPhone5 - My contacts were transferred to the 5 with no problem but it also downloaded all of my Facebook contacts.  It won't let me delete them.  How do I get rid of those contacts please?  Thank you.

    I cannot remove my Facebook contacts.  Phone list transferred but added all of my FB friends and I don't want them on there.  When I try to delete them it won't let me.  How do I fix this please?

    unfortunately, none of these suggestions are working for me. I've even gone to FB to see if there were any topics related to this problem, and nothing. How convenient for them!!!! This is sooo frustrating! My only option would be to delete each contact one by one which could take me all day. this is such bull...

  • Download all UCCX scripts from Contact Center

    Hey all,
    I'm faced w/ a particular problem that I haven't been able to solve yet: I'm trying to download all the scripts that live on our UCCX server to create a backup. In the past, when our Contact Center was windows-based (pre-8), I would just navigate to the AVVID folder and grab them, but now we're on the application model (8.5.1SU1) and I don't see a corollary to that here.
    Is there any way to download all the Scripts at one time, instead of going script by script and hitting download?
    Much appreciated. Thanks guys!

    Amre,
    I was never able to get to this before leaving my position.
    I very much suspect a full export of the tar file will contain an unencrypted copy of the scripts and all associated files, but I'm not certain.
    Good luck!

  • I don't want Mail to be the default when I contact someone

    When a website contains a 'contact us' link, Mail automatically opens when I click the link. How do I change this? I have never been able to send & receive e-mail properly with Mail and it is useless for Mail to automatically open because I can't use it anyway.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Set Mail > Preferences > General > Default Email Reader to whatever mail client you want to be the default.
    Yes, unless your preferred mail client has a similar option to do the same, you’re supposed to use Mail in order to specify that you don’t want to use Mail, and in Mac OS X 10.4 you wouldn’t even be able to do that without setting up a mail account in Mail first.

  • HT201272 how do i put my music off my i phone on to my new mac book pro i don't want to erase it all

    how do i put my music off my iphone on to my new mac book pro, i dont want to erase it all

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    You should copy everything ( files/docs/pics/contacts/calendars/music/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one - as you would any time you get a new computer.
