I set my privacy options to "contact list members ...

Hi,
In my privacy settings I have all settings restricted so that *only* people on my contactlist can contact me either via voice/video call or IM session.
Still, I have been contacted by "the.perfect.one.1" on TWO separate occasions now, who is now blocked (was not so before). How the heck is it possible for this nimwit to contact me? What is the privacy setting good for, if it doesn't work as it should??
I have created a screenshot which can be found here. Some info has been obfuscated for obvious reason.
Awaiting feedback, thanks,
Jaap.

All my settings are set to "people from my contact list only" - why am I getting contact requests from complete strangers - how are they able to find me??
I only want skype to enable me to talk to my family.
The allow communicatons from people in your contact list only setting will only stop calls and instant messaging from users who are not in your contact list. it will not prevent anyone from sending you contact requests.

I somehow got two sets of groups in my contact list, how do I remove the duplicate groups?

If the duplicate groups appear on icloud.com, you can delete one of them there by selecting the group and pressing Delete.

HT2623 How do I set up iCloud group contact lists with 'undisclosed recipients'?

I have set up some icloud group contact lists (although not very easily as I had to re-input each contact into the group list as I didn't seem able to select it from my existing contact list and transfer it into the group). Now I want to send e.mails to each group, but I want each contact address in the group to be private, so that the email says 'undisclosed recipients' as I see on other e.mails. How does that work? I had a practice bringing up the group name, but every e.mail show in the 'to' box...
What do I need to do?

Hi Mike,
Go to your Applications folder and open Address Book > at the bottom of the left side click on the + sign to add a Group > name the group > click on All Contacts > in the Name column, drag one name at a time into the group you created on the left side > when you have all the names you want in there, close Address Book > when you want to email everyone in that group, simply open a New Message in Mail > in the To field, type in the name of the group you created > type your message > hit Send and the message will be sent to everyone in that group.

Contact List currently '@live.co.uk' address

Okay so I added my '@live.co.uk' email to my BlackBerry yesterday and forgot to unselect the synchronise contacts option. This added all of my address book from my email to my contacts and when I go to Contacts>Options, under Contact Lists my '@live.co.uk' address is there. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't there before this, perhaps was default? I've managed to remove all 300+ email addresses from my contacts, but just wondered why this is still here and will it have any impact later on? When I click on the '@live.co.uk' address under Contacts List it gives me the total number of contacts now in my list which is 123. Can anyone shine any light on this?
Many thanks.

I have two options in my apple contacts. And I chose to not expose my hotmail contacts to limit the length of my list. Now whenever I add someone they get saved to my hotmail contact list, rather than iCloud. How do I change this?

How do I remove Facebook contacts from my Contacts list on my 4S??? I've already gone into iCloud settings and Facebook is not even an option to turn off and I've gone into "Groups" in my contact list and Facebook is not there either. How do I stop this

Hmmmm...maybe try deleting them again (I know it's a pain) and then doing a manual icloud backup (unless you already did this). Icloud may be putting them back on there. I never allowed FB to put the contacts on my phone lol. Also try going into Privacy and Contacts...make sure FB isn't on in there. Might be a few other spots to check under settings to make sure too. And...you might want to try deleting the FB app, do a icloud backup, and then reinstall FB

Suggestion: Contact Requests - Privacy Options

Suggestion:
Addition to Advanced Privacy: options to control who can send the user a Contact Request.
Example:
Allow Contact Requests from...
anyone
people in my Contact's Contact list
no one
from a list of email addresses (Add email address)
from a list of Skype names (Add Skype name)
Details of Example:
Anyone: anyone may send the user a Contact Request.
People in my Contact's Contact list: comparable to "Friends of Friends" in other websites.
No one: User will not recieve Contact Requests.
From a List: this option allows a user to allow specific users to send them a Contact Request. Anyone who is not on the list cannot send a contact request to the user. To add names to this list, the user would input a Skype name or email address in a textbox. The default list is blank.
(parenthesis) = clickable buttons. When clicked, a window will open in Skype and prompt the user to enter an email address and/or skype name.
= circles the user would click to choose the option.
To reduce the amount of options, email and name could be combined into one section.
Some users might want to choose "people in my Contact's Contact list" and the list of users, I suggest the ability to select multiple options, unless the selected option would conflict with another.
The list of email addresses and/or names that the user has added could be accessable through menu options, and/or somewhere within the Privacy Settings.
If something like this was implemented, I believe the numerous complaints about strangers sending unwanted Contact Requests would be greatly reduced, if not eliminated.
I am aware of the current solution with unwanted Contact Requests: to Block and Report, and make our profile as "uninteresting" and plain as possible. I have done as suggested, and I still get unwanted Contact Requests. I do not want to be blocking a dozen requests per day, but that's what the current solution leaves us with. To me, and many other users, "Block and Report" is not a satisfactory solution, but it is our only option at this point if we want to continue using Skype.
I'd also wish to point out that for some users, the inability to prevent Contact Requests is unsafe. Some users are mentally impared, or very young, and don't know a stranger from a friend. I'd hate to think that some of these innocent users could be financially, physically, and/or emotionally hurt by one of these deceptive contacts. Online safety is important.
P.S. Thank you Skype for allowing us to communicate to you in these forums.

Hi,
Skype application has built-in privacy settings that you can use to restrict who is allowed to contact you, but you can still receive new contact requests. This allows friends that you do not have in your contact list to ask to share contact details with you.
Unfortunately, there is a small minority of people who abuse the Skype software. We have resources dedicated to a number of ongoing anti-spam initiatives so that we can effectively deal with people who send unsolicited messages.
Please continue to block and report abusive users to us. This helps us to identify and prevent spammers.

To block contact in Skype (Mac), please visit:

We are working hard to prevent spammers from contacting you, and we do take action against them where appropriate.
Hope this helps.

When setting up iCloud for my Contacts, it wiped out my contact list from Outlook on my PC. The contact list is on iCloud and on my iPad. How do I get my contact list back on my PC?

It's in Outlook, in the iCloud account Contacts.

How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough.

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

Some of my contacts are not displayed in my contact list, but I know they're in memory because when one of them calls me my phone recognizes the caller. This happened a few days ago, so i must have changed some setting,but I have no idea which one. Help?

Recently some of my contacts are no longer displaying in my contact list, but I know they're in memory because when one of them calls me my phone recognizes the caller. This happened a few days ago, so i must have changed some setting,but I have no idea which one. Can anyone help?

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Mountain Lion's Privacy Works Great - Carbon Copy Cloner Wants Contact List Access

Mountain Lion Woke Me Up - Carbon Copy Cloner Wants to access my Contact list
I got a message when I launched Carbon Copy Cloner that it wanted to access my contacts list
BYE BYE CCC - UNINSTALLED IT
i have lots of apps, and this one was the only one that broke my trust. How many more will there be.

Wow, fast answers!
William Kucharski has it right, though: It's asking in order to pre-fill registration fields. This is related to 3rd party application "sandboxing" in 10.8. You can see which apps are using your contacts in Sys Prefs > Security & Privacy > Privacy
If it makes you feel uncomfortable (and it will come up again and again from here on in in OS X), the thing to do is say "No" in the dialogue and continue using CCC and other apps.

If your contacts aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, and they aren't on your phone, you'll have to try restoring your last backup (or recover them from another backup source).
