How to remove my brother's contacts from my iCloud and devices?

So my brother a couple of weeks ago had an issue with his Iphone 4s so he did a factory restore from my macbook and some how all his contacts are now in my machine and devices. How do I go about correcting the issue and utimately get rid of them? Any idea as to the best way?

You can only delete the one's you don't want manually. However before deleting anything you need to make sure that neither of you are still logged into the other one's account.

How to remove all the duplicated contacts from ICloud?

If your Mac is syncing contacts with your iCloud account, open Contact on your Mac and go to Card>Look for Duplicates, then Merge the found duplicates. These changes will be synced to iCloud.

Ok I can't seem to get my apps,music, or photos from my iCloud from when I first setup iCloud on a iPhone 4. How do I get my things back from the iCloud and get them to my new device?

If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.

HT201320 How do I sync my email contacts from my iPad and my Mac so all addresses are shared with my iPhone as well?

I want my email addresses from my Mac and my iPad to appear in my contacts on my iPhone. Can you please tell me how I set it up so all my devices share the same contacts?

Your email provider needs to support IMAP. IMAP email accounts are kept in sync across devices. Older POP accounts are not. Check with your provider.
Best of luck.

How can I delete all my contacts from the icloud?

I've been working with Apple's sometime, and now I have been forced to use iCloud after MobileMe.
After syncing a couple of devices, some things went quite wrong. My iCloud contacts are now a complete mess. I have lots of duplicates. And over 8000 contacts.
What I want to do is, is do a cleanup, and clear all the iCloud contacts, and import a new 'clean' address book from 1 mac to the icloud, which then in it's turn can be synced to all the devices?
Is dit possible? I've noticed deleting manually is a pain, because the browser doesn't really allow more then 50 contacts or so at a time, before the browser freezes.

Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

How do I restore my deleted contacts from my iCloud backup?

I recently installed iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 and my wife's iPhone 4. When our contact list merged, I deleted the ones on my phone that I didn't want (all of hers). I didn't realize it was deleting them from her phone as well. We tried restoring both phones from backups created the day before but the deleted contacts did not return. My phone is backed up through iCloud and hers is backed up to our computer.

you dont. its all or nothing

How to remove music purchased on iPhone from both iTunes and iPhone?

Extremely frustrating and I can't seem to find an answer. I purchased an album on iTunes, and I actually don't want most of the songs from the album unfortunately. I bought it on my iPhone, and I want to get rid of the songs that are bad.
When I delete them from my iTunes and then sync, the first thing it does is redownload all the ones that were deleted. I have tried only selected songs and playlists, and it still doesn't work.
Key thing is that I DON'T want these songs anymore, and I can't get my new music onto it without it redownloading all the bad songs. Help please?

Attempting what I think might work in case someone else encounters this problem.
First, allow all of the songs to be synced back onto your computer that you deleted.
Second, uncheck all of the songs from that album, or in the music section of the device page select all artists except for the ones that are in the album.
Third, sync with the iPhone, and make sure either only selected songs,playlists,etc. is clicked or only checked songs.
Fourth, these songs should be off of your phone, in this case delete them off of your computer and then they should be gone forever.
Will reply with the results.

HT204150 Can I either remove all contacts from the iCloud or have the contacts on my phone override the contacts in the iCloud. I need to remove 50+ contacts from the cloud that keep resyncing to my phone. It takes over a minute to remove each contact man

Is there a way to remove all of my contacts from the iCloud? My phone has my correct contacts list. When I sync with iCloud it pulls down 50+ contacts that I do not want. I went to iCloud to remove the unwanted contacts and it takes nearly 1 minute for each one. Another soluntion would be to make my phone contacts override my iCloud contacts?

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

TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

Depends on how big the file is. If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it. If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi. Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there. Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example.
Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer. There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need. The good news is it is free. The bad news is that it has terrible ratings. For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in the same place. If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you. you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

How to remove "Other..." from my sign-in screen?
I was trying to change an Administrator Account by starting from my Leopard Install DVD and from the Utilities menu choosing Reset Password, etc. A longish story involving my inability to shut-down the computer while others are signed in but not actually using the computer. In Tiger I was able, since moving to Leopard I need to go into each of their accounts and manually log each of them out. A headache.
For right right now I need to get rid of the Other... account name, etc from my sign-in screen. How do I do this in plain English please? I find all this Admin jargon does my head in.
Cheers, SZ

Use [these instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290] to disable it.
Those instructions led me down this path, I have not the head to deal with them again today. My eyes glaze-over listening to myself read them aloud. SZ

How can I remove an incorrect Apple ID from my ipad and replace it with the correct one?

Hello Shy guy,
You can try this:
1. Go to the iTunes Store or App Store
2. Scroll down, there you will see Apple ID: "your email" (below Redeem and Send Gift)
3. Tap on that button
4. Tap on Sign Out
Now you should be able to use another Apple ID.
