How do I get rid of phone contacts "From my Mac" so I can only see iCloud contacts

Since I have upgraded to iOS 5 and now use iCloud for my contacts, how do I get rid of the From my Mac contacts on my iPhone and iPad?
My contacts show groups from both my Mac and from iCloud.

connect the iPhone to the mac, go to iTunes, select the iPhone, in the info tab uncheck the option to sync your contacts. sync now.
Make sure you do a backup(of the iPhone and Mac address book) before you do this. you might need to play a bit with it. If you mess up you will be able to just restore.
i had to try several things before i got the proper iCloud sync working without having to deal with duplicate contacts.

  • How do i get rid of MAndiate virus from my MAC

    Got infected with Mandiate virus.  How do I get it off my MAC?

    Do you mean "Mandiant"? If so, that's not a virus, or any other kind of malware. It's just a scam that attempts to make you believe your browser has been locked. See the following description of a variant of this scam:

  • When i start a new email, it shows all of my old contacts. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

    when i start a new email, it shows some of my old email addresses. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

    Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod.  If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
    This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    How do I get rid of a "bot" on my Mac that is sending out erroneous emails to everyone in our address book? 

    You will have to look around your machine & figure out the name of the program.

    I recommend that you get a littlesnitch. littlesnitch will track your Web traffic and tell you which applications are sending data from your computer. Be sure to run it awhile because it will trigger a number of alerts. In trail mode, it will run for three hours per boot for a about a month.

    This list maybe different in your release of X.
    Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000  contacts are not listed

    Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

    The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
    Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list.  It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it.  You need to add a few names.

  • How do I get rid of Saveshare virus from a macbook pro

    My Macbook pro has become infected with saveshare virus since downloading OXS10.75. hOW DO i GET RID OF IT?

    Since I last posted on this topic, I have found a copy of the Savekeep adware. I don't know whether this might be related to Saveshare or not, but it could be. Also, leonmusic mentioned that it was caused by the Spigot adware.
    Removal instructions for both of these can be found in my Adware Removal Guide. If Saveshare isn't related to those, or anything else found there, please contact me privately (via the Contact Me link at the bottom of any of those pages). If we can figure out where it came from and I can get my hands on a copy, I can help you figure out how to remove it.

  • I upgraded to iPad2 from original. How do I get rid of original iPad info on computer so I can synch computer with iPad2 info?, I upgraded to iPad2 from original. How do I get rid of original iPad info on computer so I can synch computer with iPad2 info?

    I gave my daughter my original iPad when I upgraded to iPad2. I deleted iTunes and Quick Time from my computer thinking it would get rid of the old info from the original iPad.  I reinstalled iTunes and Quick Time and tried synching my new iPad2.  It downloaded the old info from my original iPad to my new iPad2 and now it calls my new iPad2 Linda's iPad.  How do I get rid of all the old info and just have my new iPad2 info? I don't mind that it put somethings from my original iPad (movies, books, some - not all - my music, etc). I can't even synch the bluetooth of the iPad2 to the bluetooth of my PC (I think it's all related somehow).

    Why would you not want to keep all of the data, apps, music, photos etc that you had on your first iPad on your new iPad? Don't you want to keep all of that content? You bought the apps, music etc with your iTunes account I would assume so why not keep them?
    Deleting iTunes simply removes the application from your computer - not the content in your iTunes library.
    If you want to rename your new iPad - connect to your PC - launch iTunes - double click on the iPad name on the left side of the iTunes window and you can type in the new name. Then hit the return key on your keyboard.
    How to rename your device....

    Sync the Bluetooth of the iPad2 to your PC? You can't sync the two devices via Bluetooth. You pair devices via Bluetooth but that would do no good for you anyway. You can't transfer content from the iPad to the PC via Bluetooth.
