  • My partner has my former iPad 1, I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Gen III.  I want to copy my contacts list to his iPad.  We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC.  How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • How do I stop the iMessage conversation from automatically showing when I go into the I message center? I only want the contacts to show down the left side and nothing on the right until I select a conversation to view.

    HOW DO I STOP THE WHOLE IMESSAGE CONVERSATION FROM AUTOMATICALLY SHOWING WHEN I GO INTO IMESSAGE? I only want the contact bar on the left to show and not the whole conversation, until I pick one to see.

    You can't. You can sign out of messages and turn it off, but you can't do what you would like to do. You can send feedback to Apple.

  • HT1688 I'm having trouble importing the contacts from my computer to my phone. HELP PLEASE!

    Here's the scoop: I had about 4.5 GB worth of "other" on my phone and couldn't seem to get rid of it/find out what it was. After restoring my phone to factory settings with the backup, it was still there. I decided it had to be in the backup somewhere and just restored it again as a new phone. PRESTO! All that "other" disappeared. Now I can't seem to extract the contacts on my computer and put them in my phone (I own a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8.2). Is there a solution? Or am I stuck punching this ish in the old fashioned way?

    it lets you create a csv file or vcard and you can email it to yourself and then open the file on your phone and it asks you if you want to add the contacts to the phone.  This kind of the same as when you go to a contact on your phone and you tap on share contact and email or message that contact to another iphone and it is opened on the other phone and recipient has the choice of adding the contact

  • I want the contacts in my iPhone to always overwrite the contacts on my computer when a sync is performed. Is this possible?

    I want the contacts in my iPhone to always overwrite the contacts on my computer when a sync is performed. Is this possible?

    No.
    The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a true sync process.
    There is an option to replace contacts on the iPhone with the contacts in the supported address book app on your computer which is a one time option. After doing so, contacts between the two will be synced. There is no such reverse option.

  • HT4910 my iphone got damaged and i want my contacts from icloud backup onto my windows computer

    my iphone got damaged and i want my contacts from icloud backup onto my windows pc ,please help

    You can't access your iCloud backup from your PC.  You'll have to export your contacts from icloud as a vCard, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606, which can be imported to Google then exported as a CSV file that can be imported to your PC.

  • How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

    How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac. 

    Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
    In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
    You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

    I deleted an e-mail account from my I Phone.  Unfortunately it deleted all of the contacts from my phone. Is there a way to restore those contacts?

    Add the account back to your phone and enable contacts syncing with the account and the contacts will reappear on your phone.  If you want them in iCloud, you'll have to copy them to your iCloud account.  If you need assistance doing this, reply back and I'll help you.

  • My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

    If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
    When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? 

  • Can't transfer all the contact from my Q10 to Passport (only half) (facebook/twitter problem)

    Hi all, I read a lot on the forum and I've decide to subscribe myself now because I can't find a solution.
    I just buy the BB Passport and I try to transfert all the contact from my previous BB Q10 and it's not working correctly. I explain
    I have only half of my contact in my Passport now. What I've seen is that the missing contact (numbers) are the person who I have link with Facebook or Twitter account.
    I would like to know what can I do to add all the missing numbers. I just add my Facebook and Twitter account and still nothing. But now what I've found is everytime I was adding a number to a contact that I got (facebook, Twitter), I was clicking un update contact because I got it in the contact list but not is phone number.
    So I look at this and all the contact that I add number and after click on update contact, I can't have it on my phone.
    Maybe that can help you to help me?
    Thanks for the help

    If you log into your facebook account and then go to APP setting you can allow the APP to have access to your contacts it should re-populate the contacts, there is also the option of linking the contact info together or leaving it seperate, look at the bottom of your contact and you will see the sort of chain icon. I personaly had the opposite issue, before I realized it they had all been sucked into my BB and I really didn't want them there so I spent time getting rid of them ::

  • How do I delete all the contacts from my iPhone 3?

    How do I delete all the contacts from my old iPhone 3 without having to do each one individually?

    If you've already deleted "everything else"...then plug your phone into a power source and: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
    Make sure you plug into a power source first...not your computer...as on an iPhone 3G, this can take some time. When finished, all data will be gone.
