HT4901 How to turn off Contacts in iCloud on a PC?

I have a need to stop Contacts from comunicating with iCloud from my PC with windows 7 how can I do this without turning off any other app in iCloud

You can't just stop contacts syncing on your PC.  You would have to turn off iCloud syncing with your PC for mail, calendars and tasks too.

  • If I turn off contacts in iCloud, will it delete contacts I put in personally that weren't synced?

    If I turn off contacts in iCloud, will it delete contacts I put in personally that weren't synced?
    my mom synced her iphone to iCloud, and she got my contacts and I got hers. I don't want her's!
    If I turn contacts off in iCloud, will it delete my contacts I put in?

    It will delete them from your device but not from iCloud.  Also, when you turn contacts off, you will get a prompt asking you if you want to keep them on your device.  If you choose Keep on My iDevice, a copy will stay on your device.  It will still include your mom's contacts though so you will need to go through and delete her contacts from your device afterwards.  Caution: be sure NOT to delete her contacts from your device before you turn off contact syncing with iCloud.  If you do, you will delete her contacts everywhere and they will be lost.

  • How to turn off music from iCloud?

    Accessing WIFI in NZ can be a hit and miss affair.  I want to access my music when I'm off line. Unfortunately when setting up my new iPad I agreed to iCloud without realising the implications. I see how to turn off features such as notes, etc but 'Music' is not an option.  Do I have to delete my iCloud Account to bring my music back to the device?
    I cannot be the only person for whom this is a problem!

    You don't have to stop using iCloud.
    You can always download your purchased music from iCloud while you are connected to wifi and it will stay on your device when you offline.  And unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, you can sync your music to your device from your computer using iTunes and it will remain on your device.

  • HT4901 trying to turn off calendars in Icloud

    I am attempting to backup my 4S to Icloud and continually fail since updating to ios6. I am now trying to turn off Calendars in Icloud with no success. I check to turn off Calendars and it begins to run but never succeeds and eventually fails with out turning off the Calendars. Any Suggestions?

    Can you be more specific?  The iCloud "backup menu" is in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device under "Backups".  You won't see "Calendar" listed under Backup Options because the calendar is not part of the iCloud backup. 
    So where, exactly, are you trying to turn off Calendars (in what menu)?

  • I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

    Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
    Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
    I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
    I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
    And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
    So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
    Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

    Hi Prince,
    OK, so you did turn on PhotoStream on your device. On iCloud.com there is no setting for PhotoStream - it is not needed. PhotoStream only get "turned on" on a device or a computer (in the computer settings - not on the website).
    So, once it is turned on, you take a picture, and it may take a few minutes before you see it in the PhotoStream on your phone. If you take a couple of pics and they don't show up, say within a half an hour, then you might want to do a reset on your phone (press the Home and Power buttons at the same time, and hold them down until the silver Apple appears - you won't lose anything by doing this....) Once it comes back up, you could try a couple more pics, or check the PhotoStream to see if the ones you took previously are there.
    Not sure about the option at the bottom of the Photo App - I think it is a permanent item (like Places - I don't use Places for my photos, but it is there all the same.
    I agree with you that it is a great backup for your photos - especially if you don't regularly sync to a computer. PhotoStream will keep up to 1000 of your photos, so it's good insurance against losing them. Just as a major user of the camera on my iPhone, I would recommend that you do back up to your computer as well. Videos are not saved in PhotoStream, so those would be lost if anything ever happened to your phone and you had not backed up to a computer....
    But don't give up on PhotoStream either - it's not only great for backing up those last 1000 photos, it is also great for sharing between devices (say, if you have an iPad).
    So, give it another try, and if you have any questions, post back!
    Cheers,

    Thank you. Simple and to the point, after ages of frustration trying to delete it from my MacBook I just had to delete it from my phone. It gives you the option to keep everything on your device, just delete the wireless copy.

  • Contacts Sync and Turning Off Contacts

    iPhone 5, latest iOS
    iTunes and iPhone set for WiFi sync and both are logged into iCloud.
    PROBLEM:  Changes to iPhone contacts never seem to sync.  When I attempt to turn off Contacts under iPhone, choosing to keep contacts on phone, I receive a message that it's "Turning Off Contacts ...".
    This never goes away, and I have to for the Contacts app to quit.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    So, followed your suggestions.  First thing I noticed was that after deleting data from iPhone, contacts were still on my iPhone.  Not sure how to delete contacts all at once, so that's another question.
    Second, I logged back in to iCloud after deleting the iCloud account as you recommended.  After doing so, I turned Contacts back on ... and it started ... and asked to Merge which I did.  No joy.
    I did back up from MacBook Air Contacts app first, but it appears I am confused about iCloud and On My Mac.
    I now show no iCloud contacts even though I've now reimported the backup contacts into my laptop's Contacts.
    Unless iCloud is way way behind in syncing at the moment, I have nothing in iClould contacts now.

  • How to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

    how to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

    Hi jackie,
    Not sure what you are wanting to do, but if you do not want to be signed into iCloud on your device, you would do that by deleting the iCloud account that is signed in on that device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and press the delete button. Type in the Apple ID/iCloud password, and then answer each prompt until it is complete.
    This is done directly on the device. There is no way to "turn off" iCloud on your device via a computer, unless you wipe the device and remove it from your iCloud account under the Find My iPhone app, but that requires that you wipe the device before you can remove it:
