How can I save contacts in a local account, NOT in iCloud?

With Maverick I seem to have no longer the choice between saving contacts on my iMac and saving them in the iCloud. Where have all my local contacts gone? I have only one account left, the iCloud.

iPad
Yes, her contacts show up on her iPad, but only on her iPad
iCloud
She has her own iCloud ID but none of the contacts show up on it because they are in a group called 'Hotmail' and it is impossible on her iPad to change their group to 'iCloud'
Mac
I had already set up an account for her on my Mac, so her iPad is backed up.  But when she syncs her contacts to Mail on my Mac, none of the contacts come across, because they are not iCloud contacts.
My question is still how do I get these contacts off the iPad and onto either the cloud or the mac so I can change their group so they sync in future and so that we can send a group email advising her friends and relatives of her change of email address.  If this is not possible it means emailing a hundred or so people individually.
How sad that it is not possible on the ipad to select all contacts and assign them to a different group.

  • How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

    If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

  • How can I install WebOfTrust for a local account and save the profile so that it transfers to domain accounts that log on to that specific computer?

    We are creating images through ghost server to clone onto several laptops and one of the features we need to have configured is the Web of Trust extension in Firefox. I have configured a local account on the machine and set up Web of Trust and then copied the profile image in regedit to the default profile image and saved this. WOT works for local accounts but whenever I try domain accounts, Web of Trust needs to be disabled and re-enabled.

    Try using Web of Trust support:

  • How can i move contacts from my gmail account

    Is there a way to move contacts from my gmail account to my IPhone 4?

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • How can i save changes made to user accounts?

    Hello everybody!
    Well, this is my very first question to the community and i really hope you guys are able to help me!
    Now my problem is as followed: On my MacBook Pro i use an Admin Account for personal usage, and then i got a Guest Account for everybody else than myself using my Mac.
    A few days ago i spent almost an hour setting up my guest account in appearence and other general settings, i.E. the trackpad reaction or multi touch gestures. Afterwards, i logged out my guest account and shut off my mac. Then, another day afterwards i restarted my mac and checked, if those changes took effect. Now, surprisingly, the Guest User account was completely resettet and used something what looks to me like a standard setup.
    How can i change this? How can i set up a Guest Account with certain rights, a specific wallpaper and only selected apps available?
    Thank you for your help and have a nice day!

    That is what the Guest User account is for - did you see this when you logged out of the Guest Account?
    What you need to do is to set up a new account that is not the system installed Guest Account with a name of your choosing.
    Regards.

  • How can one add contacts to different email accounts in iOS 8?

    I'd like to know if I could add contacts to different email accounts in iOS 8 without having to change the default Contacts account and only using my iOS device!

    You should be able to -
    If you go into Settings - Mail / Contacts
    You see Groups at the top left corner
    Adding to those groups will keep your contacts separate - although you have to check the group name for the contact to appear in the list

  • How can I save a file to both my mac and iCloud

    Hi, was wondering if there is a way to save a file to both iCloud and my mac at the same time.
    Today I was made a document in text edit and was interested in putting it up on iCloud and at the same time, I wanted to save it in my mac so that I can access it without an internet connection. When I was saving it, I noticed that it can be saved on only one of the two. Is there a way that I can save it to both the places at the same time.

    Have a look at Apple's page:  http://www.apple.com/icloud/icloud-drive/
    Storing files in iCloud is simple. Just as it should be.
    To upload your files to iCloud, simply drag them into the iCloud Drive on your Mac running OS X Yosemite or PC running Windows 7 or later. Or start a new document using an iCloud-enabled app on your iOS device. Then you’ll be able to access those documents from all your devices.
    For your Macs iCloud drive will look just like any drive and you can drag and drop into folders of your choice.

  • How can I delete an app from my account definetly?

    How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad,  i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

    Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
    But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

  • HT4859 My iCloud does not allow me to change my user email account. How can I change to a new email account and restore my iCloud?

    I was recently hacked so I had to change to another email account and now iCloud won't let me back up because it is still only allowing the old email acct to be the main one. How can I switch to a new email account for my iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

    How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
    I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

    Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
    You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

  • How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom?

    How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom? I see that you create the sheets under the Print tab but how can I save them as jpgs to my desktop?

    Kittie,
    I use this workflow and it works really well for me; it's really strange that it
    i did
    work for you and now it doesn't.
    I had a quick dabble and
    i may
    have an explanation. If I read your error message it looks like "New Folder" is trying to create a folder ~kittie/Desktop/3 Working/Contact Pages. However, the automator "create folder" won't create folders recursively like that - it will only work if "3 Working" already exists. Certainly I was able to reproduce the 'quick flash error message and bomb out with no results' effect by asking it to produce a directory from one that didn't already exist. When I added two Finder actions it didn't work as I expected - producing 74 files in subdirectories that just looped round and round when I expected one file and one directory.
    I added a shell script that renames the files too and it all works just dandy for me. If you let me know your e-mail I'll post the automator "app" file and shell script I use. It gives you sensibly named files instead of the sdkjfdfadkljfb.jpeg thing that comes out of automator.

  • "Import SIM Contacts" under settings-so how can you save to SIM card?

    Update took several hours and afterwards, contacts as well as internet bookmarks and map bookmarks are gone. However, the pictures under the camera icon remain. How is that? Are they on the SIM card? How come contacts didn't save to the SIM card? How can you save to the SIM card through itunes or the phone?
    Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?

    Apps you can re-download for free. SMS's are part of the iPhone backup, they would have to copy that folder to a thumb drive along with your photos, calendar & contact database. Your iPhone backup is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Regarding your contacts & calendar, you'd have to first export them to the thumb drive, then copy to the proper location on the computer you intend to use. Same with your iphone backup & pics.

  • How can I save a file in the server?

    Hello,
    I am writing a Java Web Start program that it will generate a html file, how can I save the generated file in the server, fro example, the directory where I stored my JAR files. Because right now, it will create the html file in the local client mahcine instead of the server. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thanks you.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?
