How do I save my contacts to my iphone and not in outlook exchange

I just deleted the Exchange account from my previous employer and ALL of my contacts are gone.  It seems that nothing was stored on the iPhone itself. 
How do I make sure that future contacts are saved to my iPhone?
Thanks!

You realize that you're responding to a post made 14 months ago. Right?
Contacts are NOT completely saved in the backup - only enough to maintain the Favorites and Recent Calls lists.  You should be syncing contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.)

    iTunes running, your phone connected, on the Info Pane, scroll down to "Advanced". Put a check in the box labeled "Replace Info on this Phone for Contacts" on next sync. Hit the apply/sync button.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Use your back up on your mac/PC and re-add your contacts to Address Book or whatever contact software you use.

  • After I sync my IPhone with Outlook, some contacts only appear on the IPhone and NOT in Outlook

    I have been syncing my phone with Outlook for some time successfully but just noticed that there are now contacts on my Iphone which don't appear in my Outlook contacts. I also noticed that those that appear in both places have "linked cards" on their contact information on my Iphone while the ones that don't appear in Outlook are missing this "linked card" designation. I just signed up for ICloud so don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • IPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.3) Exchange 2003 Contacts created on iPhone will NOT sync w Exchange

    if a contact is created in Exchange (via Outlook or OWA) it will sync into the iPhone flawlessly. But if it is created on the iPhone, it WILL NOT go into Exchange. I sync to my PC; I make sure enough time has passed for a iPhone sync-still DOES NOT WORK.
    HELP PLEASE

    This sounds very much like the sync is set to the wrong account when you have more than one email account you must set the correct account to be the one to sync to.... in settings mail contacts and calendars check to see which is the default account...  and ensure the exchange one is the default account if that is what you want to sync with ref contacts. Also do this in the calendars section at the bottom default calendar. i have this a lot with my directors they add entries into the iphone calendar and not the exchnage caledar and wonder why they are not syncing !!!! you can also see this in calendars itself their is a tab in the top left corner showning which calendars are being used, also each calendar entry will tell you which calendar it is using

  • How can I save mail messages to my computer and not my mail program

    My mail program seems to be slow.  I'm not sure why.  I get the spinning ball frequently.  I need to save mail messages sometimes for a few years and there are hundreds of emails. Is it better to save them on my computer than my mail program?  I may need to retrieve them at some other time so they need to be readable.  Is that possible?
    I'm using OS X 10.9.4. I have a 3.06 GHz processor and 12 GB of memory.  Thanks

    You can select to export a folder to save as a .mbox file. This file would need to be imported if you wanted to view the messages.
    Select mailbox (folder)
    Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Export Mailbox...
    You might also want to check out the demo for EagleFiler by the author for SpamSieve. You could view and search the messages archived in EagleFiler.

    Regarding Mail being slow....
    Is it only Mail that is slow?  How much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility to find available space.

  • How do I save a file to iCloud Drive and NOT have it sync to all my devices?

    I have a Macbook Air with 128GB of SSD storage.  I have a Mac Mini with 2TB of storage.  Both are running OS X 10.10 with iCloud Drive enabled.  All iOS devices are on 8.0+ with iCloud Drive.  I want to upload files to my iCloud Drive from my Macbook Air and then delete them off my Air to save valuable storage space.  When I try to delete a file from my iCloud Drive on my MB Air, it prompts me to say that the file will be deleted from ALL iCloud Drive devices.  I just want delete it locally on the MB Air.  Is there a way to do this?  Do I have to do it through the iCloud Drive web interface?  Can I just make a folder in iCloud Drive that does not sync to the other devices but you can still "view" the files?  I just want to save files in the iCloud but not have all those files synced on my Macbook Air.  Make sense?   Help please!  Thank you in advance.

    You're going to find that pretty much every cloud storage system works in a similar way. Some, like OneDrive, will allow you to select what folders sync to and from every machine it's installed on.
    Maybe something like that would fit your needs better.

  • How do I delete all contacts in my iphone?

    After trying to sync my secondary iphone with icloud I find that I have an enormorse amount of duplications.  I would like to delete all contacts from the iphone and sync with what I have on my mac.  I would prefer not to do a complete reset on the iphone for this will also create a lot of work.  Does anyone have any thought as to how I might accopmlish this?

    I believe scottishroyalty is mistaken.  As far as I know there are no contacts stored within iTunes.  He must mean that he deleted duplicate contacts within the Contacts app on his computer.
    The issue I have with sberman's solution is that after using that method to delete all contacts on your iPhone, when you turn the Contacts switch back to "ON" in your phone's iCloud settings all the old contacts are put back on your phone and you're right back where you started.
    I posted a very detailed account of my issue here:

    Thanks for any help!

    How do I sync my contacts from my iPhone and my Mac?

    As far as I can tell this has been disabled in Mavericks (and possibly slightly earlier). Apple now wants you to get an iCloud account and upload all of your contacts to their server.
    The way this works is: 1. create an icloud accout 2. set up your mac to sync its contacts with that icloud account 3. set up your iphone to sync its contacts with that same icloud account. (Be careful when synching the first time that you don't overwrite the device's contacts with the initially blank set of clontacts in icloud). The result is that you have synched the contacts between your iphone and your mac (and Apple gets a copy as well).
    -Mike
    Now I understand. In step #2 above "set up your mac to sync its contacts with that icloud account" means "select all the 'on my mac' contacts and drag them onto the iCloud account so that they become iCloud contacts". There is no "setting" to sync "on my mac" contacts to iCloud.
    As I tried to note on another thread about this where I was, unfortunately, openly mocked for having difficulty with it, this doesn't always go as smoothly as one would like and it can, at times, appear that you can't drag a contact from "on my mac" to iCloud.
    I have several hundred google contacts and several hundred "on my mac" contacts, as well as the iCloud acount. (A consequence of being a very long time Apple user and a very reluctant iCloud adopter. Until a serious phone failure yesterday I'd always just had the contacts sync via iTunes and then grandfathered from phone to phone once that feature was removed by building the new phone from the old phone's back up.)
    The Contacts app is in constant network communication with the google servers and the iCloud servers. When you're working with this many contacts at one time, network lag in those communications (is my best guess) can cause the application itself to cease to function in a quick and obvious way, often creating the appearance that you can't drag a particular contact (or group of contacts) from one place to another. You try to drag and nothing happens. You don't get an error or a warning, you don't get the situation where you can drag it but you can't get it to select a group (because the contact is already in there) you get nothing at all.
    If this happens often enough it can lead one to believe that contacts must be moved individually and manually, but that is not the case. You just have to let your network connection catch up, and try again.
    Also note that if you drag a group of contacts and some of them are already in iCloud you'll get a warning about potential duplicates. You'll get a set of choices about which one to keep, or both, or update. You can't actually see the contents of the two duplicates while you make this choice. If you get this warning, I would highly recommend choosing "cancel", confirming that your local copy is correct, complete and up to date, and then do the select and drag again and then pick the "update" option -- either nothing will happen because iCloud was also correct, complete and up to date, or you'll update iCloud, but nothing bad can happen that way.
    I'm so glad they took away the direct syncing with the Contacts app via iTunes. This new method is so much easier to use

  • How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

    How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

    In Aperture 3 there are two print dialogs. The first is Aperture specific. After you finish this dialog the printer specific dialog will open. In the PDF menu choose Save as PDF...
    I've forgotten how Aperture 2 works but it has a different print dialog I think. Look for the same PDF menu or a Preview button.

  • 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.

  • How do i save my contacts in my itunes acct

    how do i save my contacts in my itunes acct?

    iTunes does not save your contacts.  You can back them up with iCloud and/or sync them with an app on your compter.  When you do a back up of your phone, contacts should be saved, but it's not guaranteed, and you would have to do a restore to get them back anyway.  If you have a pc, the most often used is MS Outlook, but there are other apps available if you don't have that.  Search the Apple store for "contacts".
