How do you stop email addresses from being importing as contacts?

Contacts are automatically being built in the phone when emails are received. Is there a setting that will prevent this?

No. They are not being created by the phone. They are being created by your mail system, whether that is Exchange, Yahoo, Google, etc. They all have settings to automatically create contacts from people you correspond with. There is no setting on the phone to control this. Check the settings for your mail account with or talk to your IT department.

  • HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.

    How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync  from my computer to iPhone.  This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5.  You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

    Change the password for your AppleID you used to set up iMessaging, and do not tell them the password.  Tell them to get their own AppleIDs for use with their own iMessage accounts.

  • TS3899 tell me how to transfer my email addresses from my laptop to my ipad mini

    SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO LOAD MY EMAIL ADDRESSES FROM MY LAPTOP ONTO MY IPAD MINI AND KEEP IT SIMPLE...I'M PRETTY NEW AT ALL THIS (AND OLD TOO)

    Hello there Angela,
    I was looking for some resources on syncing your Mail accounts from your computer to your iPad.
    In our article named iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296. This section in particular will get you started:
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device (your iPad) to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    When you see that bar you want to click Info, and there will be a checkbox there to Sync Mail Contacts. Check the box, then click Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

    How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
    Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
    I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE  MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
    Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
    Thanks

    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

  • How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

  • How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

    How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

    It should be my choice, not apples.
    And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
    Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
    Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

  • How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

    How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

    What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
