I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update.  Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone.  Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

    It can and it will. You will have to sync with iTunes again but this time you will want to uncheck the radio button for Autofill and then select the playlist, albums, artists or whatever you use in iTunes and the sync again.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes, select your iPad on the left side, click on the Music Tab on the right at the top, uncheck the Autofill button, select your music, and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

    You could try the approach outlined here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name.

    if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait.  if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses.  as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether  (unless you use them again).  Have patience, it will go away.
    Or do the update....

  • When I start my MAC Pro (OSX10.6.7), It always opens the Application window. How do I prevent that from happening? I just want to see the desktop

    Everytime I start my MAC, the Applications window opens. How do I prevent that from happening. I just want to see the Desktop with the normal Hardrives and folders I setup on the Desktop.

    Start up. Close the offending finder window. Shut down.
    Now start up again.
    Is it fixed?

    It isn't. Forward it to [email protected] and then delete it.

  • I don't want iTunes to launch when I connect iPhone.  How do I stop this?

    There's a way to rename a file somewhere to prevent either iTunes or iPhoto from launching and mounting iPhone when it is connected. I read about this when I was having a problem one time. I have searched "disable automount itunes" (and other variations) and now I can't find it. Can anybody point me to the thread about this?
    I like iPhoto to launch and mount, but I only use iTunes to upgrade the iOS. I would like iPhoto to automount and iTunes to be voluntary (i.e., clicking on the iTunes dock icon, etc.) I don't want to have to unmount iPhone from iTunes and close iTunes every time I simply want to download photos.
    Thank you.

    With a Mac, you need to remove the iTunes Helper from the login items for your computer's login account.
    System Preferences > Accounts. Select your login account. Under the Login Items tab for your computer login account, select iTunes Helper followed by selecting the - sign to remove iTunes Helper from your login items.
    There is also a way to prevent iPhoto from launching automatically when your iPhone or any digital camera is connected. iPhoto will launch automatically when your iPhone is connected when it includes photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll only.

  • When dictating, can I insert punctuation with my voice or can it be done manually? If I say the word comma, will I get "," or will I get "comma" and is there a way to fix that?

    When dictating on Ipad, can I insert punctuation with my voice, as in if I say "comma" will I get "," or will the word "comma" appear? Can I manually insert punctuation as I'm dictating, such as: If you wouldn't mind, (tap on comma on pad), may I ask a question? (tap question mark on pad). OR, do I just say everything I have to say and then go back and punctuate by hand? Obviously, saying "comma" and getting "comma" is NOT going to help out my sentences!

    weird. When I do it, I have to spell out comma and period if I don't want the punctuation... I just tried the exact same phrase and got "As I said, please don't disturb me." Is there a setting under dictation that says something like "spell out punctuation"?

  • Is there a way of preventing q10 from creating PC contacts

    I use gmail contacts as Imap in q10
    When I sync these with my outlook, BB creates a separate list called PC contacts
    So under contacts I have:
    1. All
    2. Favorites
    3. Groups
    4. BBM
    5. Gmail
    6 PC
    I actually wnat only one list, I want to remove all the others, favs, groups, bbm, pc
    Why cant I have only 1 list?

    Maybe this post (there is also a link to a Youtube tutorial) can clarify:
    Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog
    Although this was written for CP6, everything is also valid for CP8

  • I didn't want my iPod things restored on my iPhone and it wiped everything out including new update

    I got my new iPhone and I plugged it into the computer and it restored all of my iPod things and got rid of all of my new things and the new iOS 7 update! How can I get  it back to normal again!? As if it was a "new iPhone".
    Thanks!

    Did your new iphone have a backup made in itunes or icloud?  If so, all you need to do is restore from that backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

  • In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

    In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
    Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
    Best wishes

  • 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.
