HT204150 If I delete contacts through iCloud, why do the changes not reflect on my iPhone?

I am having a tough time finding an answer to this. What is the best method?
I have a lot of duplicate contacts and general email addresses I don't want displayed on my phone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Any contacts that are in an iCloud account on any device will be deleted from all devices when it is deleted on any one of them. To avoid this happening, you should move those contacts in Outlook from the iCloud account to another account, therefore keeping them in Outlook, but safe from any actions you carry out to the iCloud account.

  • Why do the thumbnails not reflect changes I make to pages?

    I am working on a pdf in Acrobat DC.
    I am working on a page with all the layers hidden.
    So the thumbnail is blank
    When I show a layer it appears on the page.
    The thumbnail however does not change.
    Why do the thumbnails not reflect changes I make to pages?

    Hi Jules,
    The behavior is same in Acrobat 11 as well. The thumbnails do not get refreshed till you close the document and reopen.

  • Why is the bounce not reflecting volume changes in my bass track?

    I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7.  I have input a bass guitar directly through an Apogee Maestro 2 using the direct input setting.  When I use the mixer, all of the functions seem to work fine on the bass track (fader, volume, plun-ins, etc), but when I bounce the track the volume of the bass is still at the original input setting even though it was materially reduced (-15 db or more) in the mix.   All of the other settings in the mixer (fader, plug-ins, etc) appear to be properly reflected in the bounce.  Only the volume reduction seems to be missing   After some experimenting it seems that the bounce may reflect an increase in volume in the mixer over the original bass guitar input, but it is hard to be sure because Logic only permits a 6db increase in volume and the bounce is being played through iTunes, so subtle differences are hard to detect.  But even a -50db reduction in the bass mix produces a lound and clear bass in the bounce at the original input level..  This problem is not present for any track that was input through a microphone.
    I have searched in vain for an explanation.  Software glitch?  Some parameter not set right?  Any suggestions greatfully welcomed.

    The latter.  I just recorded a bass track as an audio track along with tracks for guitar, banjo, harmonica, etc.  (I bounce off line so playing along with the bounce is not possible.)  The thing is that the other instruments I play are all acoustic, so they go on their tracks through a mic. The bass is an electric bass guitar, and while I have an amp and could mic it, it just seemed easier to put it on a track by plugging it right into the preamp, which has an "instrument" input setting as an alternative to the "microphone" input setting. 
    What is so screwy about this is that the normalize function in the bounce window should make proportionate adjustments to all instruments.  At least that's what the owner's manual says it does.  But what it seemed to be doing is treating the directly input bass and the microphoned instruments seperately.  I usually record the bass track at a fairly high input so that I can clearly hear it in the headphones as I play over the previously recorded instruments and vocals.  Then I rely on the mixer to bring down the volume of the bass to a more reasonable level in the final mix.  But with the normalize function on in the bounce, the bass was still coming through in the bounce at the original input level or something very close to it.  That would be fine if the other instruments were properly jacked up as well so that the bounce sound like what I heard through the mixing board, only louder. But what I got was a mix with all of the all the other miced instruments sounding just like they did through the mixing board and the bass blasting away at the original recorded level notfwithstanding the volume reduction on the mixing board.  Very strange.  I assume this is a software bug, but now at least I have a reasonable work around.  Thanks again.

  • HT204150 My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else. But that only happens with my own card

    My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else if I want to import it to Contact on my Mac. But that only happens with my own card.
    Before, my V-Card in Contacts on my Mac was ok, but now it disappeared. When I try to import it from ICloud only my name appears.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

    Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
    If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
    If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
    Email messages are not stored in your backups.

  • HT1386 My iPhone contacts grouped themselves as contacts from pc and contacts from iCloud. Unfortunately the contacts in iCloud is not syncing with my window pc''s outlook. Please tell me a way to sync.

    My contacts have grouped themselves as contacts in PC and contacts in iCloud . Unfortunately the iCloud contacts are not syncing with Microsoft outlook when connected through either iTunes or iCloud

    I have installed icloud control panel but there is no option to sync your contacts to Outlook as well,it only shows that mail, contacts,Calendars and Reminders are at icloud.com.

  • HT204053 When I initially try to sign in to iCloud, I get the "Account not verified" screen and I am told to check my email for instructions to verify.  No email is ever sent. My ID and password work on all other Apple app's.  Why not for iCloud?

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

    Oh, PLEASE IGNORE the line:
    deleted everything under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\SYSTEM (folders 0000 to 0004)
    That was left there inadvertedly. Can't seem to find the edit button here...

    Also, if you are sharing an Apple ID, you will get his iMessages.

  • I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows.  This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10.  Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

  • Why is the map not displaying correctly on "find my phone"  I am getting large grid squares on the map

    why is the map not displaying correctly on "find my phone"  on my computer.  I am getting large grid squares on the map.  I have tried deleting my history, tried zooming in & out, but the grid squares won't go away..

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It means that it is not connected to the Internet, so it may be turned off. Another option would be that somebody has resetted it to default settings and has changed the Apple ID, being impossible to track your son's iPhone. Anyway, report it to the police because it is the only thing you can do at the moment

  • Why is someone elses notes appearing on my iPhone?

    why is someone elses notes appearing on my iPhone?

    Check in your settings - under Mail, Contacts, Calendars...
    In your accounts you will find that your email accounts will also have notes. If you share an email account, you might have notes turned on as well...

  • HT4942 After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).
