HT4902 I don't want my contacts to move to iCloud. Is that possible?

I'm changing my organizations mobil me account to iCloud. Mostly we want the photos we've posted to mobile me. But I'm using my computer to make the move and I'm concerned iCloud will upload my contactacts from my computer. How do I prevent that?

Not syncing the contacts is easy enough, just disable (or don't enable) contact syncing.
My main concern is your statement about using iCloud for the photo galleries you have currently on mobile me.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

I share a macbook with my other half and we both use it for our iphones. When syncing using the new software I now have all of her and my contacts on my phone. I don't want her contacts! How do I get rid?

Hi,
You have 2 solutions:
1 - You can use 2 differents icloud account
2 - You use the same account but you don't sync yours contacts.
You configure that in Settings > icloud
You activate or desactivate what you want.
Have a nice day.

How to get contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud.)

How to get my contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud, only from the ipad.)

Well, if both your iPad and iPhone have ios 7 you could AirDrop the contacts. This may seem time consuming if have a lot of contacts as you have to select all the ones you want to transfer. But it is useful if you want transfer only specific contacts and not the whole contact list. Oh, and another thing: your iPad has to be a 4th generation or higher and your iPhone has to be 5th generation or higher.

I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into a family members iPhone 4s. We have both backed up our phones to our computers. I don't want his contacts listed on the phone while I use it, just mine. How do I remove them off the iPhone 4s.

I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into my husbands iPhone 4s, which he is not using. We have both backed up our phones on to our own computers. I don't want his contacts left on the phone while I use it. How do I remove his info including music, photos etc from the iPhone 4s before I insert my own sim card.

You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
What you can do.
Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
Hope that helps

I have won a 11 inch 128GB MacBook Air and want to increase the storage to 256GB, is that possible?

I have won a 11 inch 128GB MacBook Air and want to increase the storage to 256GB - is that possible?

When one is tight on storage space, offloading data onto a $79 external spinning disk drive is cost effective but not portable. When you are not at your desk you cannot access the data. On any Mac that has a MicroSD slot, one can add up to 128 GB of inexpensive portable storage using the following options that cost less than $100. This is cost-effective alternative to upgrading the internal SSD on a MacBook Air for $200 to $315. One can use multiple microSD card to multiply the storage they carry with them.
Time Machine does not backup these microSD cards so using an alternative backup program, such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! would be prudent. One could partition their Time Machine backup drive(s) with 64 or 128 GB partitions (one per microSD card) so another backup hard drive is not needed.

Yes, your entire family can use one AppleID just for purchases in the iTunes and App Stores, then each of you can use your own unique AppleIDs for all other services (iCloud accounts, iMessage accounts and so on).
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for each service Apple offers, if you wished to.
By doing what you suggest, you also limit the number of AppleIDs with payment information associated with them, so there is only one single AppleID that can be compromised that way. Keeping one AppleID for purchases and another (with no payment information tied to it) for everything else is not a bad practice for anyone to follow.

We have multiple devices among 4 family members (1 computer, 1 laptop, 4'ipods, 4 iPads , 2 apple tvs. We currently have 1 apple I'.d. How do I set up my daughters laptop so that she has access to all apps and music, but I don't want her contacts, photo

Is there any way of creating separate I.d.'s under 1 apple I.d.? My kids are too young to have there own apple I.d. And then they wouldn't be able to access all the music and apps we have purchased .....or would they. I'm am finding this confusing with the numerous devices we have in the family. When they sync I don't want all of their friends contact info nor do I want them to have mine. I also don't want their goofy photos. I am the only one with the password for the iTunes account. I had to take them off of iCloud for this reason. I am not tech savvy but I can figure things out when pointed in the right direction. Please help! Thanks and merry Christmas!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.

I can sign into iCloud but can't remember the answers to my security questions and the link for a password reset it my old work email and I don't work there any more and don't want to contact them!! Help.

Want to change me password for my Apple ID on I cloud. I am doing this on my Mac but going into I cloud on Safari. I can sign in ok, but when I go to password change, it wants me to answer 2 security questions, I don't know the answers to these. Then it says if I don't know the answers, it will send me a link to and email address. The email address they want to send the link to is my old work email and I don't want them to send an email there and I don't want to have to contact my old place of work. Help please!!!

in that case you need the help of Apple Support.- only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone umbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

I don't want my contacts on all of my devices

I recently updated my iPhone, iPad and my daughters iPod touch so that we have the new operating system and iCloud. Although I want my daughter to have my calendar, I don't want to merge my contacts with hers or have her receive all my photos. I've tried changing the settings but the contacts were already merged. She has now gone through and deleted my contacts from her iPod touch...is this the only way to do it? It's very frustrating!!

is this the only way to do it?
yes. Turn off "contacts" in the icloud settings, but keep the rest of the wanted sync options.
No workaround other then that.

I don't want my contacts to sync my iphone contacts on my daughter's phone. How do I keep them separate?

I have an iphone 5. My daughter and husband still have a 4. We all have separate contact lists and would like to keep it that way. How do I do this? I just updated my daughter's phone and now she has everyone's contacts.

Sign into your iCloud account on icloud.com and check your contacts. If they are there, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts on to download them to your iPhone. Then, if you don't want to sync contacts with iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone.
