How can I set up for contacts on my iPhone to replace contacts on my address book?

I have tried several ways.  I read some suggestions about leaving only 1 contact in the address book and then syncing but it automatically deletes all my iPhones contacts and replaces it with only that one in the address book.  What I want is for my Address Book contacts to be updated or replaced (by default) with those contacts on my iPhone.  Please help.  I am always adding new contacts to my iphone and changing peoples information and every time I sync it, it erases any changes to my iPhone and updates based on the address book.  I want it to go the other way.

Are you using Windows or Mac OS?

  • How can I export Outlook 2007 contacts to Leopard Address Book application?

    Hi,
    I just bought a MAC and I want to get rid of my PC, but first i want to export my CONTACTS from my Windows MS Outlook 2007 and import them in Leopard Address Book application.
    Any way I can do that ?
    Many thanks !

    I don't know if doing it with single vcards is the way you want to have it. This can be a quite big task when having many contacts.
    In Outlook You can export them as text file. You got to +File - Import and Export+. In the assistent you choose "Export to file". Then you choose "comma seperated (Windows)" In the next step you mark your Contacts folder. Then you choose where you want to save your output file. (I mountet my Documents folder on the mac and saved it there). Finish this assistent.
    Now on the mac you open AdressBook. +File - Import - text+ file and choose then your .csv file. Now in the AdressBook a import window opens where you can set all the fields matching to where Outlook stored the information. But basicly it should work without doing there something. Then you can import all Your Outlook contacts in one run.
    Hope this helps You!

  • How can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

    HOw can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

    I Don't know if you can or not.
    but you could try one if these 2 things:
    -under a new contact in name type the names of the people. Next, I'm not sure if this will work, but for phone just put a different hone down.
    -Also tou could just make a group message. In messages just type all the names in the to field after you tap compose.

  • How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud?

    How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud? I don't need/want to view contact info for casual contacts on the ipad. (I.e. contacts entered so that I can identify a caller for ID/screening purposes)
    Also would like to limit email contacts from yahoo- no need to view emails for every "safe list" address.
    Thanks!

  • How can i set dynamice for week on Selection screen..pls help me..Urgent

    Hi..All
    please Help me .. i am very  confused..
    i need to set a varient for week which is dynamic on selection screen.
    b) Week from current week to current week + 2. (<b>Dynamic selection)</b>how can i set dynamice for week on Selection screen,,
    how can i do this..i am alrady set dynamice variant for Date.. there is option for D.. but in case of week there is a no option.
    pls help me..urgent
    thamks in advance.
    mayukh

    Hi,
    I think the way out is use the dynamic select option while setting up the varinat and use sy-datum to sy-datum+9 which should essentially serve the purpose.
    While saving the variant, for that particular date field check the Selection variable checkbox, then Choose D
    option and then choose current days + or - option from there.

  • How can i set password for a backup?

    ::I am using 10g xe
    I am gettin gbackup through RMAN, how can i set password for each backup? I want to protect my backup so that no one other could use it if he copies the backup files.
    Faheem

    Just use "SET ENCRYPTION ON IDENTIFIED BY password ONLY" command in your RMAN scripts. Look at the advanced backup manual for details: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp006.htm#sthref632

  • How can I set up notification traffic to work iPhone five iOS 7.1

    How can I set up notification traffic to work iPhone five iOS 7.1

    You need the first Internet connection in order to share another connection with the other devices. If you use the Mac and Internet Sharing, then the connection is only going to be as fast as that connection and maybe a little slower since you are all sharing that connection.
    You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear as the saying goes, you cannot speed up the connection by any magical means.
    You should be able to use the personal hotspot feature on the phone if the carriers there support it.

    You might want to look into a MIFI hotspot as well but once again, you would need some sort of plan for it in New Zealand.

  • HT201060 How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters iCloud address when it won't let me because I've allowed her to be part of my family on my iPad.?

    How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters icloud address when the new iPad won't let me cause I've made her part of my family group?

    If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • How do i delete all my contacts in mail address book

    how so i delete all my contacts in mail address book, i have 1,042,000 blank contacts.

    In Lion, the user's LIBRARY folder is hidden. So, it's not visible automatically.
    Open Finder.
    At the menu items at the top of your screen, click on GO (where you see Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Help)
    Next within the GO options, select the 'Go to Folder' option. You will see a window open to enter text.
    Enter ~/Library and click the GO button.
    Now you'll be in your user LIBRARY where you need to be to get to your address book file previously mentioned.
    You want to open the Application Support folder then from inside there open the AddressBook folder. Then you can follow Barney's instructions.

  • HT1338 How can i set password for my folder?

    How can i set a password for my folder?

    Mac OS X does not natively include a method for passwording only selected folders. You can either get a third-party utility such as Knox (from AgileBits) or you can create an encrypted disk image (using Disk Utilty) and keep the files you wish protected in that disk image.

  • How can I set up firefox home on my iPhone without a desktop

    How can I set up the Firefox Home App on my iPhone without using a desktop computer and without having to sync it, too?
    My home computers are not functioning right now, but Firefox is my favorite browser.
    Can someone help me get it working on my iPhone?

    Actually, there is no version of Firefox for the iPhone. Firefox Home is a helper app to sync certain data to your iPhone.
    More info on Apple vs. third party browsers: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925084 Why isn't Mozilla Firefox available on the MOST SELLED and MOST WISHED tablet on the market? The iPad! I mean, Firefox home is not even an universal app.]
