HT4872 My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced. I want to un-sync them

My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced. I want to disconnect this function from my phone and be able to edit and remove all those contacts that are just email addresses. How can I do this?

Settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Gmail > contacts > off > select "delete from my iPhone." This will delete all of them.
If you want to selectively edit out what you don't want, keep them and manually edit your contact.

I have an iPad and an iPhone. I DO NOT want my iMessage syncing across both devices. How do I change it so that I only receive iMessage on my iPhone?

My iPhone is synced with my iPad so this means that all of my iMessages being sent to my phone are also being sent to my iPad. I do not want my iMessages to be synced so how would I change it back so that ONLY my iPhone will receive my iMessages.

What if I deleted the email address on my phone so the only option for the "Send and Receive" is my phone number. The problem is that I sold my iPad and cannot get it back so I am trying to find a solution where I do not have to use the iPad.

Is there any way to solve my issue and increase the safety, security and privacy in my iPhone and its data?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

Is there a difference in the mac mini address book and my iPhone contacts? I have them both as well as my Ipad2 connected on I could but these don't seem to be sharing contacts. It worked in the store. What have I done wrong?

Can anyone help?   How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone.

I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

Hello mstern613
The way the organization works is that it will have an all contacts and then your grouped contacts. You would not be able to just have the grouped contacts with out it being in all contacts. You can organize them on your iPhone by following the steps in the iPhone User Guide.

Transfering exchange contacts to my iphone contact list?

I have an exchange account I need to delete off my phone, but I want to save some of the contacts to my iphone contact list before I delete the exchange account, is this possible? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The ideal method would be to export them as VCF files using a computer.
If you only have access to the Server on your iPhone, you can individually open each one and Share it to yourself by text or email.

The contacts on my iPhone 4S are looking fuzzy, does anybody have this problem?

When my contacts on my Iphone 4S are synced through facebook they look fuzzy and other look normal. If anybody has this problem please tell me how to solve it.

I would suggest restoring the iPhone from backup, if that fails then restore as new as the issue may be something that has become corrupted in the backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

You have to get them from the file you have into iCloud, google, yahoo, outlook.com, AOL, an Exchange server, or some other service the phone can sync with, or into MS Outlook on your PC. Then you can sync them to the phone.

Sally, if you are using Access' version of Palm Desktop (6.2.2), it has a known issue with deleting data if the computer is shut down while the program is still running.
Be sure to close Palm Desktop before turning off your computer.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"
