I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again.. I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.

I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

If I delete photos on my Iphone or Ipad, are they also deleted from Icloud and other devices which are synced with Icloud?

I have a number of photos on my Ipad and/or Iphone, and I have synced them with Icloud (my IMac is also synced with Icloud). I know that I can choose to synch directly with my IMac instead of with Icloud, but I would like to know what happens to the photos if I delete them from my Ipad/Iphone? I want to delete photos and movies to make more room on the devices.
I have not selected automatic syncing with Icloud for my photos.
I assume that the photos remain in Icloud until I go to Icloud to delete, but does anyone know how that is supposed to work?
Thanks

Remember that you should not store photos on iCloud. It's time and capacity limited. It holds up to 1,000 photos for no more than 30 days. So, import no. 1001 and the first one is dumped. Leave them untouched and they will be deleted from iCloud after 30 days.
You can't delete individual photos from iCloud (only reset the whole thing) so trashing from a device will not trash from iCloud.

23" screen how do I get the pages to stay big enought to see? I use ctrl++ then I restart and they are small again don't want to hit crtl ++ 20x every time

I used some new add on but didn't work... Font only make font bigger word went over picture make it to hard to read. Want entire page bigger.
I bought a new 23" monitor so I could see the print... internet explore pages got bigger no problem but I can not get the ones on firefox (the one I use most of the time) seem smaller then they were on my 19" monitor. I want it to stay big not have to hit ctrl++ 20x for each page Please help me fix this before I have to figure out a different browser

There is an extension called NoSquint that might help.

After I got a 27" screen, I had problems with the interface text being too small as well. That can be fixed with Mozilla applications if you set up a userChrome.css file in the profile inside a subdirectory called chrome. The code I used:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

Using iMessage 8.0 with Mavericks to send sms message to my friend who has an iPhone. Only allows me to log in under AIM, YAHOO, GOOGLE, or BONJOUR. I don't want to do any of that. Just my phone number. Is this possible?

Hi,
The first run of Messages will ask you to enter an Apple ID to "register' with iMessages.
If you do not do this but open the App and look in Preferences > Accounts then you will see the iMessages account and the Bonjour Account which will not be activated.
Neither of these two account can be deleted. (even if not being used)
If you then press the + icon to add you will get the choices you posted.
To iMessage you need to "register" and Apple ID with the iMessages service.
As Diane then points out you can link this to your iPhone number.
This "syncs" (Displays on all devices) the various iMessages sent to either iPhone or Apple ID
You can then chose on both iPhone or Mac version how or which ID/Number is going to be used to "Start the conversations from"
I have my Mac version set to start from my Apple ID and the iPhone from it's number.
At this moment the Mac version cannot send SMS text messages to an iPhone.
This is apparently coming with iOS 8 and OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
An AIM account can send SMS Messages but only to a limited number of USA based phone users on these carriers.
(Basically you add a phone number with country code +1 as a Buddy to your List)
Mocked up number (It not really an auto responder although you do get sent back and Error message about it not being valid)

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

I updated my phone and my husbands to the 5.0 OS now everytime I enter a new contact he get's it. We don't want the same ones. How do I stop it from syncing our phones?

You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account. Don't do that.

Simply turn off the iPhone for about 60 seconds, and see if they reappear. If not, I would call Apple Care at 800-676-2775.

My iPhone won't activate, after I deleted it from Find My iPhone.

Hey people!
Please help: I lost my iPhone New Years, and quickly blocked & deleted it from Find My iPhone. It would probably have been enough just to block it - but I was desperate and drunk... Luckily I got it back, but now when I turn it on, it asks me to pick country, wifi, and then it says: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
I have been trying now for 3 days in a row. Turned it off, hold the home button down, while turning it on and connecting it to iTunes, but iTunes just tells me, that the iPhone is Sim Locked, so that didn't help either.
What to do?
Thanks....

Oh ,and have you ever had the iPhone jailbroken or paid a shop to carrier unlock it

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

How to delete a contact group on the iPhone?

Hello!
I've been searching for a way to delete a contact group on the iPhone, but I was not able to find one. The only answers I have found tried to tell me that it is not possible to do this on the iPhone. But I can hardly believe that the people at Apple would be so stupid not to include such a thing, as there are iPhone users who do not own a computer. How should they manage their contacts?
So, would someone please be so kind and tell me how to delete a contact group on the device?
TIA,
Jan

How do i delete songs from my iphone when they don't show up in itunes? Swiping across the song on the iphone does not give me a delete button.

How do i delete songs from my iphone when they don't show up in itunes? Swiping across the song on the iphone does not give me a delete button.

Hello audreywisc,
Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

Help greatly appreciated.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this
