HT204150 How can I change calendar/contacts sync setting for iPhone?

contact not backing up on my imac address book

On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).

  • How can I change my contact number on iCloud?

    I have just purchased a new iPhone 5 and loaded IOS 8 and trying to connect Keychain verification via my Mac Book pro to verify to iCloud ID
    I cannot comply because iCloud has a discarded phone number and I see no option on how to correct this
    How can I change my contact number on iCloud?

    So the question is, what device are you changing it on?  Before doing anything, backup all devices, save all photos somewhere on a hard drive and export your contacts and calendar just in case.  I am a real beginner here, but I have been dealing with this issue for two weeks so I think I am getting a handle on it.  Hopefully someone can give even better advice.
    iCloud.com is a slave to whatever account you have setup on your IOS device, so it doesn't care what you sign in as.  There is nothing to "change" there, just sign in as whatever Apple ID you have setup on your devices.
    I would start on the Macbook.  Go under preferences, iCloud, and then sign out of your iCloud account.  Sign back in, but enter the new Apple ID that you want to use.  This will delete the old account, but give you the option of keeping everything you have in iCloud on your computer.  Turn everything on that you want to sync, and you will be back up with iCloud connected to a new AppleID.  iCloud.com will now mirror your MacBook.
    On the iPhone, go under Settings, and then iCloud, and delete the existing account.  You will loose whatever is in the Cloud from your phone, but they should already be back in the cloud from your MacBook fromthe above step, so no worried.  Setup a new iCloud account with the Apple ID you used above, and enable the things you want to sync. Everything should be back now and you have the new AppleID associated with your iCloud. 
    The iPad is the same as the iPhone, delete the old and establish a new iCloud account with the AppleID you used above.  You will loose anything that is in the cloud from the iPad but it should repopulate once the new Apple ID is established.

    how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

    There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
    If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.

    how can i change a contact name pronunciation on siri

    under contacts, there's a field for "phonetic first/last name." Just spell it how it sounds and Siri will get it.
    If you don't find the field, go into edit mode and choose "add field".

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible.

    How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible. I can log in on my computer with updated id, however I can't find where to change old email. The settings displays new id. When I try to update or buy an app on my phone it automatically puts in the dead email address and asks for the password.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Question: How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • HT204053 How can I change my Apple ID on my iphone

    I know, I know, go to settings > store > log out etc. etc. etc.
    But here's the deal:
    My itunes on my computer > correct apple ID
    Setting on phone > correct apple ID
    I have synced my phone, I have turned on/off my phone, I have read every "how can I change my applie ID on my iphone" article on the internet and STILL the app store will NOT update, so all my apps have updated that I can not access.
    Please help, I'm loosing my mind! ; )

    If you are asking how to change the iCloud ID on your device, your go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    Hi janekieschninck,
    If the printer is currently set to perform duplex (2-sided) printing, you can turn off the setting by deselecting the option in the printer driver. Please follow the instructions at the link below associated with your operating system to find where the duplex feature is located for your operating system:
    Duplex printing - Mac
    Duplex printing - Windows
