How to export my Contacts (residing on the iPhone)?

In the end I want to sync the Contacts between my iphone and my wife's iPad. At present we use different Apple IDs (hence (I assume!?!?) cannot sync Contacts or Calendars). I would like to switch over to her Apple ID, but before doing so Export my Contacts, such that I can merge them with hers and henceforth sync them between myiPhone and her iPad.
Any ideas,clarifications, advice, warnings! are welcome.
Thanks and cheers

I cannot say that these two new phones are better than the android but my new iPhone 5S looks way too premium than my old android (samsung galaxy s3). Btw, I was too lazy to transfer all the data manually from one phone to another so I did it via desktop utility
It was quick and easy.

How to delete a contact group on the iPhone?

Hello!
I've been searching for a way to delete a contact group on the iPhone, but I was not able to find one. The only answers I have found tried to tell me that it is not possible to do this on the iPhone. But I can hardly believe that the people at Apple would be so stupid not to include such a thing, as there are iPhone users who do not own a computer. How should they manage their contacts?
So, would someone please be so kind and tell me how to delete a contact group on the device?
TIA,
Jan

And, it's an even bigger shame that you let your customers do your work in the forum here. I expected to have an Apple employee read and answer the messages.

How to export Videos and Pictures from the iPhone 4 to my PC

Hello together,
maybe this question will have a simple answer, but finding this answer seems to not so simple...at least for me...
I have several 100 photos and some videos (made by the iPhone 4) on my iPhone 4.
I want to export some fotos and also a video to my Windows PC to give these files to friend. For example the video is to long to send via Email. I would like to burn the files on a disc.
How can I export these files to my PC?
I tried to use a SW called ifunbox, but this SW always closes with an error message before even starting up.
I also found some information about copying pictures and videos directly to the PC via the Windows Explorer. Unfortunately my iPhone 4 is not listed in the Windows Explorer and I can not find the iPhone via the device manager...
Can anybody help me?

Hello roaminggnome,
thank you for the quick reply.
I tried Photoshop Elements, which is also mentioned in the pdf file you linked in your reply.
Unfortunately I can not select the iPhone 4 from the device list. It seems that the iPhone is not detected.
In iTunes I have no problems...
...any ideas...

How to Export full street address of the contacts from AD OU

How to Export full street address of the contacts from AD OU

Break down the one liner suggested by Chen . What do you see when you run the below :
Get-ADUser -Searchbase 'OU=XYZ,DC=XYZ,DC=XYZ' -Filter * -Properties *
You will have to replace the OU path in the above.
Once you see the Users are an output of the above, try below :
Get-ADUser -Searchbase 'OU=XYZ,DC=XYZ,DC=XYZ' -Filter * -Properties * |
Select SamaccountName, @{n="Full Address";E={[String]::Join(';',$_.StreetAddress , $_.l, $_.PostalCode, $_.Country)}}
If you are able to see the objects till this point then only you will get those in your CSV. These are nothing but basic steps to follow when someone gives you a solution.
Hope this helps.

How to export string in CDATA with the jaxb xml writer?

How to export string in CDATA with the jaxb xml writer?
It read CDATA no problem but it is lost on write.

Found it:
### THIS WORKS WITH SUN JAXB REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION. ###
(Not tested with any other)
In the xsd, you must create a type for your string-like element.
Then associate a data type converter class to this new type, which will produce CDATA tags.
Then you must set a custom characterEscapeHandler to avoid the default xml escaping in order to preserve the previously produced CDATA tag.
Good luck.
-----type converter-----
import javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter;
public class ExpressionConverter {
     * Convert an expression from an XML file into an internal representation. JAXB will
     * probably have already stripped off the CDATA encapsulation. As a result, this method
     * simply invokes the JAXB type conversion for strings but does not take any other action.
     * @param text an XML-compliant expression
     * @return a pure string expression
     public static String parse(String text) {
          String result = DatatypeConverter.parseString(text);
          return result;
     * Convert an expression from its internal representation to an XML-compliant version.
     * This method will simply surround the string in a CDATA block and return the result.
     * @param text a pure string expression
     * @return the expression encapsulated within a CDATA block
     public static String print(String text) {
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(text.length() + 20); //should add the length of the CDATA tags + 8 EOLs to be safe
          sb.append("<![CDATA[");
          sb.append(wrapLines(text, 80));
          sb.append("]]>");
          return DatatypeConverter.printString(sb.toString());
     * Provides line-wrapping for long text strings. EOL indicators are inserted at
     * word boundaries once a specified line-length has been exceeded.
     * @param text the string to be wrapped
     * @param lineLength the maximum number of characters that should be included in a single line
     * @return the new string with appropriate EOL insertions
     private static String wrapLines(String text, int lineLength) {
          //wrap logic, watchout for quoted strings!!!!
          return text;

How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer ?

How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer/ will be deleted on the server ?

For that kind of connectivity you need to be using an email account configured either as IMAP or Exchange.
IMAP & Exchange accounts will maintain a sync across all your devices, so if you read / delete a message on your phone, it will disappear from the server as well. This cannot happen in POP email accounts.
If your using gmail, instructions on how to set up exchange / imap are here http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
Alternatively, if its anything other than Google, you will need to contact your email providor or IT department (if your email address resides with an enterprise environment) to get the correct settings.
Hope this helps!

Stop syncing them to the same source. If you're sharing an iCloud account with someone, don't do that.

Ways to share photos
Using iPhoto on your device, you can share your photos in many ways:
Send photos to other devices
Beam photos, albums, events, journals, and slideshows (send wirelessly) from your device to another iOS device with iPhoto installed. Beaming shares photos in full resolution.
If you have a device that supports AirDrop, you can send photos wirelessly to other iOS devices that use AirDrop. You can use AirDrop to share photos, albums, events, journals, and slideshows. AirDrop shares photos in full resolution.
If you have an iCloud account and you’ve set up My Photo Stream, photos you save to the Camera Roll are sent to all of your devices.
Use photos in other apps on your device
Send your photos to other apps installed on your device, including iMovie and other iPhoto-supported apps.
Use your photos in any app by saving them to the Camera Roll.
Send photos to your computer
Import photos directly into iPhoto or Aperture on your computer.
Save photos to your computer using iTunes.
Share photos on the web

Email, display, and print photos
Send an email with your photos.
Share photos using the Messages app on your device.
Present your photos as a slideshow with music and transition effects.
View photos on an external display using an HDMI cable adapter or on a TV using AirPlay and Apple TV.
Print photos from your device to a printer that supports AirPrint. Tap > Print and select a printer.
Create books of your photos and order professionally printed and bound copies of them.
Order professional-quality prints, and have them delivered to an address you specify.

I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
Would you know how to resolve this issue?
It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

How do I recover contact list from my Iphone 4?

How do I recover contact list from my Iphone 4 if I do not have ICloud and do not have the ITunes sync installed/

If you don't have backups, theres really not much that can be done other than to have everyone you know send you their numbers/emails again.
Also, backup your contacts twice from now on. Use iCloud and Lookout Mobile Security.
Make regular iPhone backups to keep this from happening again.

Hi, I have an old iphone 3 and for Xmas received an iphone 5. I have 2 apple ID accounts, one on each phone, for me to be able to transfer messages, fotos, contacts etc from the iphone 3 to 5 do I have to be using the same Apple ID account? Many thanks.

hi everyone, first time using this forum!

You should only use one Apple ID for both phones. All apps that you bought for your 3 are linked forever to the Apple ID used to buy them. If you set up your iPhone 5 as a new phone, rather than restoring from a backup of the 3, you will lose the messages, but you can sync to get the pix, contacts and music. It is safer to do it as a new phone, because sometimes restoring a backup from an earlier version of the phone can cause problems in the new phone (as told to me by an Apple store "genius" two days ago.)

How do I remove a "calendar" from the iPhone?

I have a First Gen iPhone with up to date software. I recently deleted a calendar from my MacBookPro and that calendar won't delete from the iPhone. I used to have three calendars in iCal which synced to the iPhone. One was my home calendar, one was work and one was a Quicken Calendar that I didn't set up. I deleted the Quicken calendar from the computer and want it deleted from the iPhone, but can't figure out how. I went into setting in the iPhone and there is no where to delete a calendar. Thanks.

I had a calendar stuck in the phone that didn't exist on my laptop. I had to go into iSync and reset sync history to get rid of it.

No one here with a crystal ball or into mind reading! Who did you buy the iPhone from? You should be talking to them about the receipt.
