How do I disconnect from MS Exchange and Gmail Contacts?

When I got my iPhone 3GS (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...) I set it up to sync its address book (Contacts) to my Gmail contact list using some instructions I found which used "Microsoft Exchange Server". Worked pretty well so I then linked my wife's iPhone Contacts to *my* Gmail list so we would have the same list of addresses. Seemed to work. Over time, however, the list ballooned and various useless addresses got added (Gmail would add those people to whom I simply had replied on an email - I have fixed that!)
Now, there is iCloud and my wife and I have shiny new iPhone 5 phones. I hope to "clean up" my current list of addresses and then use that as my new starting point for contacts/addresses. I would like to disconnect from Gmail's contact list and link the Address Book on my iMac and the two iPhones to use the same list of contacts - and I presume that using iCloud for the Mac/iPhones would make the most sense. I still want to be able to use Gmail - but I don't want its contact list clogging *my* iPhone/iMac address book list.
I transferred my old iPhone settings to my new iPhone. When I connect my iPhone to iTunes and go to the "Info" page, the "Sync Contacts" box is unchecked but there is a statement "Your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. You c..." Despite my clicking various boxes, I can't get the rest of the message nor can I figure out how to stop this MS Exchange syncing!! Here is a screen shot:
I have looked on my iPhone and can't find any reference to starting/stopping MS Exchange syncing. I can't seem to find anywhere on my Mac that will let me change the setting either.
I would appreciate any help with this or suggestions on a better way of linking our two iPhones and my Mac to use the same contact list - and to maintain control over it, specifically how to keep it separate from Gmail contacts.
Thanks for your help.
David

Not possible.
When turning over the air syncing for contact info off with an Exchange or MobileMe account, or when deleting the account from the iPhone, contact info will be removed from the iPhone.
You need to export the contact info from the Exchange server in a format that is supported for importing by the Address Book on your Mac.

  • My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

    When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots?  A specific one?
    Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
    What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

  • On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts, so I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts that were imported from a different email address, this way I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    Contacts imported from a different email address? Are you referring to a different address book, possibly from your computer? Exchange contacts are not stored on your computer. If you turn off Exchange contacts they will disappear from the phone. The phone will always show contacts that are stored on your phone, and keep them separate from the Exchange contacts like they are now. If you delete the ones on the phone and then turn off or lose access to the Exchange account, you will no longer have any contacts.

    How to remove Seperator from check-in and profile check in pages
    The seperator is included on the checkin pages, which is present in the std_page with name "std_namevalue_separator", this is called by td_document_checkin_fields and std_document_file_fields.
    Defination of include:
    <@dynamichtml std_namevalue_separator@>
    <$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
    <tr>
         <td width="<$captionFieldWidth$>"><hr /></td>

    Please suggest if anyone have some idea, how to proceed.
    Thanks,

    Without writing a component, you can put this code in the "side effects" box in the desired profile(s). This code removes the horizontal rule, and inserts a non breaking space in its place.
    <$setResourceInclude("std_namevalue_separator","<$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
    <tr>
    <td width=\"<$captionFieldWidth$>\"> </td>
    <td width=\"<$captionEntryWidth$>\"> </td>
    </tr>
    <$endif$>")$>YMMV. The non-breaking space may get stripped out in the forum.

    How to download songs from ITunes Japan and France with a credit card and address based in the US? The system appears to not allow downloads in that fashion. Please let me know if you have any details

    This question is asked literally dozens of time a week in these forums, & I will answer, again. In order to purchase from any specific country's store, you will have to meet one of the following criteria:
    1) Have a credit card from that country with a billing address in that country.
    2) You may use an iTunes gift card purchased in that country, but the billing address rule still applies.
    This rules are mandated by the record companies not Apple. The record companies do not care for cross-border sales.
    As a new poster, just a suggestion, it might save you a little time if you use the "search" function in the upper right corner to see if your question has been asked previously. That way you don't have to wait on someone to come along to help you.

  • How can I downgrade from 11.0 and re-install 10.7

    How can I downgrade from 11.0 and re-install 10.7

    First, reconsider your decision. 11.x isn't quite as user-friendly as 10.x, but it has pretty much the same functions are before (albeit in different places). Give it a few more days, and you might grow to like it. Future releases will only get better.

    Well first off you'll need another browser, Firefox allows many other search engine choices, Chrome is made by Google so that's no help really.
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    Once you have Firefox installed (and check the status of your plug-ins) you can search online for alternate search engines, there are hundreds.
    Duck Duck Go is very privacy oriented.
    https://duckduckgo.com/html/
    You can find more here
    https://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/top_10_alternative_search_engi.php
    Once you find one you like and visit the site you can add it to the Firefox search selection like this
    You also can remove Google if you wish totally or just not use it.
    Firefox also has Ad Block Plus, Ghostery, BetterPrivacy add-ons which combined and enabled will stop the trackers of Google and others.
