How do I change where my contacts are saved when entered via the phone?

I use multiple e-mail accounts and do not like to sync all those with my phone. I prefer to save my phone contacts on the 'back-up assistant'. My new Droid is saving all of them to my hotmail account instead of the 'phone'. How do I change that?

I would love to help Howdypez. What device do you have? I would be happy to show you how to sync with different aspects of the device.

Why is the contact search different when accessed from the 'phone' app vs. the 'contact' app?

When I have the phone open and I want to select a new contact to call I have to use the search function, find the contact, find the number i wish to call, call.
before I could just scroll through to find the one i want, select the number and the call would be made. (as you do if you open the contacts app) can I change this back?

Perhaps you have 2 or more contacts with the same phone number? If you do anything that displays the name associated with a phone number will chose at random.

Assigned Contact Ringtones Disappear when I Sync the Phone

Does anyone know if this is specific to Outlook? I have tried setting them up repeatedly only to have them erased each time I sync the phone. Is there a setting I may be missing?

Are you having outlook synch to the phone? If so, I am not sure what the problem can be. Maybe do a search on Synching outlook on the phone and see what problems they were having and how they worked around it. May find what you need there.

How can I change where my files are backed up to when changing to iOS 5?

Hi,
I have a Windows PC with two hard drives, one being an SSD and another being a regular hard drive. I use the regular hard drive to store music, movies, media, all of that good stuff; I use the SSD to store the operating system and a few video games in order for better performance. My question is, why, when I try to change my iPod to iOS 5, does it automatically back up to my SSD (C:) drive? Is there any way that I can change the location to which my files are backed up? I have plenty of space on my second hard drive, but I can't find anywhere in iTunes where there is an option to change this.
Thanks!

Command-click on the document's name in the window's title bar.

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?
Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
Please help !
Nick

Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
Any ideas welcome !!

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

How can I pinpoint not only one, but an entire group of contacts on Maps. I wish to visualize where my contacts are geographically located.

Hi,
I wish to pinpoint my contacts at the same time on Maps, or other, in order to visualize where my contacts are geographically located. Has anybody an idea?
An app?
A special configuration?
A miracle?

I think what you want is a Carousel Scroller. See Demo and Examples

How do I Change where iPod_Control\iTunes\ITunesControl files install?

How do I Change where iPod_Control\iTunes\ITunesControl files install? This file has installed itself on a netwrok drive and not where I have my itunes folder? Why and how do I point this control file to the right location?

hiya!
How do I Change where iPod_Control\iTunes\ITunesControl files install?
hmmm. those files should only appear in your ipod itself. if they are showing up on a network drive, it's plausible that you've got a Windows drive letter confusion going on in the background of all this:

My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

IPhone question: Im trying to update applications on my iphone. When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes. How do I change so that both are the same?

All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
did you use a different id to buy the app?
you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.
