How can I delete an account, BUT only after having saved data

I need to delete my account from the iPhone BUT not before having saved the current data. How?
My Calendar, Contacts, Bookmarks sync is not working. As a solution, I was told to delete account from the iPhone, reset the iPhone, create my MobileMe account again on the iPhone and select Calendar, Contacts and Bookmarks to be synced using MobileMe.
Fine, but I get a warning that all the information that I currently have in Calendar, Contacts and Bookmarks on my iPhone will be lost!!!
That would be a problem, as I have entered a great number of new contacts on the iPhone, and I really don't want to lose them. Is there no way to MERGE without losing what's on the iPhone? Or can I save the Contacts and Calendar data somehow before I delete the account of the iPhone, so I can import them back later in a new account?
In a nutshell: I need to delete my account from the iPhone BUT not before having saved the current data. How?

If the sync process is not working between your iPhone and the MobileMe "cloud", is it working properly between the Address Book and iCal on your Mac with the MobileMe "cloud"?
With a MM account, you can sync contacts and calendar events over the air, or direct with the supported applications on your compute via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time. In order to sync direct with the supported applications on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you must turn Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing on your iPhone, which will remove all contacts and calendar events from your iPhone.
I'm afraid you will need to manually enter the new contacts with the Address Book, the new calendar events with iCal on your Mac.
There is an outside chance. Contacts and calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup. You can sync with iTunes to update your iPhone's backup before deleting your MM account on your iPhone - I suggest turning Contacts and Calendars off on your iPhone before deleting the account.
Follow deleting your MM account from your iPhone by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. This should restore the contact and calendar events on your iPhone from your iPhone's backup. Follow this by syncing with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
There is a chance this won't work and if not, all contacts and calendar events on your iPhone will be lost in the process.

Please, help!!!!! How can i delete Angry birds not only from my device (iPhone 4), but from my iTunes account,too? I am a new user.

I am a new user of iPhone 4. I have problems with "Angry birds". I heard that i can fix the problem by deleting the application. So, the question is : How can i delete the game not only from my device, but from my iTunes account,too? Please, help!!!

You can just tap and hold any icon to put into Edit mode. There you can delete.
Or you can just tell iTunes not to sync it.
To remove from iTunes just click on it in list and press delete.

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

Ian.

I had a similar situation. My credit card bill shows a charge on Sept 8 and Sept 9, both for $55.99. I called Apple but they said that I was the victim of identity theft so I cancelled my credit card. They have not refunded my money.

How can i delete admin accounts

how can i delete admin accounts on imac running lion

Apple says that admin accounts should be only used for tasks that require them, and not for any other reason. Apple even goes so far as to say to never browse the web or check email while logged in to an admin account.
The reason is for security. When logged in to an admin account, everything you do, every program and process you run, runs with elevated admin privileges. Running with higher privileges than is necessary can be a security risk. There is no reason for your web browser, for example, to be running all the time with admin rights.
If you're currently running as admin it's easy to switch. Make a new admin account, and change your previous account from admin to standard. You can then continue using your old account as you always have.
You'll find that you rarely if ever need to actually log in to the admin account. Nearly all admin and even root tasks, like installing software, can be done from any non-admin account, by entering the admin username/password when prompted.

how can i create multiple accounts but use the same itunes?

Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services. You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't retreive it pressing delet without entering password does nothing

How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't reset it as not receiving reset email from facebook pressing delete without password does nothing.

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can i delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!

HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

Hello paolo@spring,
Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

HT204150 Me and my ex both used icloud account and now he has access to my contacts pictures etc. How can I delete my account all together so he can't sign in to it and delete everything off his phone??

How can I delete my icloud and all my stuff off another phone that I don't have access to?

actually you can change password on that account by resetting password at that site
iforgot.apple.com. After that he will not have access to your data anymore.
you also can wipe his phone, but I don't know if you want him coming after you for that.
If email that you use for apple id is accesible by him you can also change your apple id at the site
appleid.apple.com - just login and edit apple id to new email that he would not know.
Once again, you can do bad stuff to him, but usually it is better to leave that to the police.
