I don't want Facebook friends synced to Contacts.

In order to use Facebook from Preview and other apps, I need to login to Facebook. But then it says when I do that all Facebook friends will be imported into my Contacts, which I do not want. But I DO want to be able to sync Contacts through iCloud to my other devices. So how do I enable Facebook, not let it download friends to my Contacts, but keep other Facebook iCloud syncs?

OK, if I go where you said and enter my Facebook info, I get this message: "Signing into Facebook will: Download your Facebook friends to the Contadcts app...Allow you to post status update etc to Facebook...Enable apps to work with your Facebook account. In System Prefs you can disable Contacts syncing and disallow any app from accessing your Facebook account."
So it sounds like I only have two choices: To have all my Facebook friends in my Contacts (which I don't want; what a mess to scroll past them all on my phone) or to disable Contacts syncing, which will not allow all my contacts to stay synced between devices, right?

  • I updated my phone and when i downloaded the facebook app again it synced all my facebook friends to my contacts. How do i get rid of that?

    I updated my phone today. I had to redownload all my apps and when I downloaded facebook again it synced all my facebook friends into my contacts. I now have over 700 contacts, how do i get facebook to not be synced with my contacts?

    they are deleted permanently off your phone
    but they will forever be tied to your appleID so you can redownload them for free there is no way around that but they are not taking up storage or anything when they live in purchase

  • I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode.  I am thoroughly confused now after researching online.  I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help!

Can I my stuff back through iCloud??

    Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
    The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
    When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
    The good news part only happens if you had a backup.

  • My husband and I share one computer.  We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications.  How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

    I mistakenly extract and downloaded Facebook Friends to my Contact in iPhone 4s (iOS 6) How I can delete it?

    I just figured it out! I set the email account I am using to try to send the photos as my default account by going to General > Settings > Mail > scrolling down to Default Account. Mine was set as my iCloud account. I switched it to gmail and now I can send photos.

  • I don't want facebook to be my log in.

    I want to share my account with someone but I don't want them logging into my Facebook to get access to it. How do I change to just a username & password?

    This one is pretty easy.  All you have to do is email support.  They may walk you through it all.  I had to delete my account and sign up again without facebook.  Support will reinstall all of your playlists and may even do everything for you. They are pretty awesome like that.

  • I don't want passwords to sync on iCloud keychain for all devices

    Hi, hopefully someone can help
    I bought an iPad for my Mum a few years ago. She's an elderly lady and doesn't know a lot about computers so the iPad was great! I set up her account (Apple ID etc) under my email so that I could log in and change updates etc when needed (and I'd remember my details!).
    I've just purchased my first Apple product, the MacBook Pro (which I love btw). Because I'm new to Apple I'm still learning about iCloud/iCloud keychain. I registered my Mac Pro with my original Apple iD (the same one as my Mum's iPad). Now I realise it would have been better to register it with a new account as I don't want passwords/photos/apps etc. syncing from both devices.
    I'm not sure how to get around this now? Definitely a rookie mistake, but like I said, I'm still learning!
    Thanks

    Registering your Mac with a shared ID won't cause it to sync any data from an iCloud account.  Only signing into the same iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud would do that.  You can leave your registration as it is now.  Just sign into iCloud with a different Apple ID in System Preferences>iCloud and your keychain and other iCloud data will be separate from your mum's.

  • I don't want iCloud to sync my iTunes music to my iPhone...how do I make this not happen?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can make it so that my iTunes on my PC doesn't get sync'd to my iPhone.  I have an iPod that I keep my music on, and I don't want my music on my iPhone.  I'd be very grateful for any help you guys can provide.

    PS-- all of the above is in reference to using iCloud

  • When syncing my facebook friends to my contacts no one appears, Help?

    When i sync my friends from facebbok to the contacts it does all the stuff saying its downloading all of them but they never appear on my Contacts anywhere? Im not sure if im doing something wrong or not but i just can not figure it out.
    If you can help it would be much appreciated, Thanks

    You have to first tell iTunes where you want your contacts stored.  The option is Yahoo, Google or Windows.  Once you've set up your contacts on your computer, in one of those locations, you then tell iTunes where the contacts come from (again, Yahoo, Google or Windows) to your iPad.  From then on, when you sync, your contacts will stay where you wanted them.  To see what I'm suggesting, you open the device, by clicking on it from the left hand side of your iTunes screen.  Once your iPad device is open in iTunes, click on the Information tab above and that's where your contacts are directed from.

  • Sync Tungsten T5 - DON'T want docs to sync...

    null
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    OOPS hit enter by accident when titling thread.
    Been trying to sync my T5 with Outlook.  ALL I want is my calendar and contacts. I don't want my docs to sync (plus there's NO WAY they'd ever fit on the palm, waaaaaaaaaaaay too many).
    When I try to sync, it 'hangs' on syncing documents (for an hour or more)... so I have to shut it off and 'end program' on my pc.
    Gone into settings of docs to go, and on the palm and unchecked the docs from the list of items to be synced, and yet it still tries, and gets 'hung' on it.....
    Not sure what I've done wrong, or how to make it stop trying
    thanks in advance for any assistance
