IPhone 2.0 software/Exchange contacts question
I have my contacts on Exchange (2003) arranged as "active" contacts and "non-active" contacts. The reason I did this is because I wanted a manageable number of contacts on my iPhone (and in my BMW's bluetooth register). With the iPhone 1.0 software, when using IMAP/Exchange sync, the phone's contacts only synced the "active" contacts.
Now that I have the 2.0 sofware and have enabled Exchange syncing (which works great), the contact app on the phone syncs both active and not-active contacts, which brings me back to the original problem of too many contacts on the phone and in the car.
So my question is, can I get the iPhone to only sync my "active" contacts list?
Lots of us have these problems. You just have to grin and bear it until Apple gives us a FW fix. Which hopefully won't be too long.

HT5058 How do I get the icloud contacts information moved over to the exchange contacts?
How do I get my icloud contacts on my iphone moved into my exchange contacts at work? I have originally uploaded the contacts from my personal blackberry to the iphone then later we got exchange setup. How do I get the contacts from icloud loaded into exchange? I have access to them on the phone but not on my outlook exchange at my work computer.

I deleted an old company mail account and when doing so it deleted all the contacts on the iphone. How can I get them back? Can I do a restore where I import ONLY the contacts? Or does Restore just overwrite everything?
When I connect my phone with itunes and go to the "Info" tab, it asks me if I want to "Sync Contacts with Outlook" where outlook is a choice from a dropdown menu. The question I have is what contacts are stored on itunes, if any, and which way it will write them ---> phone to itunes or itunes to phone. Since my phone contact folder is empty right now, I want to get these back from itunes. I am hoping those outlook contacts are stored on itunes and can then be downloaded to my phone, but I do not want to do a complete restore as the last time the phone was synced was a long time ago and contacts will be lost. If the sync writes an empty contacts folder onto itunes then the restore will not even be an option. Just want to make sure I do not overwrite any contacts that are stored on itunes.
By the way, icloud for contacts was not on so I do not have that route of recovery.
Help.Exchange contacts exist only on the Exchange server, and are automatically deleted when the account is remove. This is standard security policy of Exchange accounts. They would not have been backed up to iCloud in any event.

Adding a contact photo to a contact on iPhone breaks ActiveSync to Exchange
This is a weird one... I have a user who has an original iPhone, we just upgraded her to 2.0 a week ago. She noticed that she lost her contact photos when we replaced her contacts with those stored on exchange. She added them back to the contacts on the phone and everything appeared fine. The problem came when she went to add an email address to a contact (which had a photo). It did not update on the iPhone.
Adding a contact on the iphone synced, and modifying a contact that did not have photo synced. Modifying a contact on the computer (one which was not syncing to phone) synced to webmail, so that part of the sync (desktop to exchange) was working. If you remove the picture, it starts syncing again. Issue persists in 2.0.1.
I will test on a iPhone 3G tomorrow and see if the problem persists on all phones and exchange accounts. Can anyone verify this on their setup? If it is not a problem for you are you using exchange 2007?
Thanks!
Setup:
Exchange 2003 SP2
Entourage 2004
First Gen 8GB iPhone
Workaround:
Either remove photos, or disable active sync for contacts, enable syncservices to sync to OS X address book, and sync via cable.UPDATE: OK, today I tested with 3G iPhone, and there is no issue at all syncing (in fact, the contact picture appears as an attachment to the contact if viewed in webmail).
I then setup another 1st Gen iPhone to the same exchange server, add a photo to the contact, made a change to the contact, and have the same problem -- no sync after photo added, syncs when photo is removed. I even deleted (from Entourage) a contact that I had added a picture to on the phone, and that change did not go to the iphone until I deleted the photo (Waited about 5 minutes). About 20-30 seconds after deleting the photo on the contact, it recognized that the contact was deleted from the exchange side, and pushed the deletion to the phone where it when poof right before my eyes like it's supposed.
This is kind of baffling since you'd think the software is the same between the first gen and 3G after 2.0, but the problem is very re-creatable for me...] -

IPhone with Exchange contacts will not sync to Laptop
A user at our company has an iPhone that syncs with our Exchange server just fine. He just purchased a Mac Book and cannot get his contacts to sync through iTunes.
It will sync any contacts that he has directly on the phone, but not any that are from the Exchange account.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you in advance.No way to do this, which is a limitation with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync which provides for syncing contacts over the air with the Exchange server, and this is the way that most employers want it. Contacts synced over the air are not stored locally on the iPhone.
If the employer allows for accessing the company Exchange account on a personal computer at home, the user can create/access the company Exchange account with the Mail.app on his Mac, which provides for syncing Exchange contacts and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal.
What is available when syncing Exchange contacts over the air with an Exchange account on an iPhone is syncing personal contacts direct with a supported address book application on a personal computer at home via the iTunes sync process. Business and personal contacts can be viewed combined or separately on the iPhone and are stored and synced separately on the iPhone. -
I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts that were imported from a different email address, this way I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.
Contacts imported from a different email address? Are you referring to a different address book, possibly from your computer? Exchange contacts are not stored on your computer. If you turn off Exchange contacts they will disappear from the phone. The phone will always show contacts that are stored on your phone, and keep them separate from the Exchange contacts like they are now. If you delete the ones on the phone and then turn off or lose access to the Exchange account, you will no longer have any contacts.

Copy Exchange Contacts to iPhone or iCloud
Hi
The problem started when I configured exchange account on my iPhone and I selected sync of Contacts also with the exchange account. I had quite a good number of contacts on my device, but once the exchange sync was done all the contacts became exchange contacts. So, if I remove Contact sync from exchange account settings, it deletes all the contacts from my iPhone (Even the contacts which I had even before I configured exchange account). Is there a way I can copy the contacts to my iPhone or iCloud, turn off the contact sync with exchange account and not loose any of the contacts.
Thanks
KchitizYou need to ensure that each device (including the MBP) is using iCal from iCloud (NOT a local version of iCal). Using the MBP as an example, click on the Calendars icon in the upper left corner and look for something similar to the following:
If it does not say ICLOUD at the top, there's your problem. Post back and we'll go from there. -
Microsoft Exchange Contacts to iPhone contacts
I had my iPhone set up to sync with a Microsoft Exchange server, at work, as my default account for dates and contacts. I have left that company and want to know if the contacts that show up under the Microsoft Exchange account can be transferred to the basic iPhone contacts directory? I am afraid if I turn off Microsoft Exchange contacts off as my default account I will lose all of my contacts.
Yes, if you turn off Exchange the contacts will disappear. Apparently, an app called iDrive Lite will allow you to export those contacts from the phone:

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.
All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone. -
I recently installed iTunes 11.0. Now when I want to sync my iPhone 3GS the software wants to add 256 contacts and 1005 items to my calendar, both on my Windows XP computer. I would assume that these are duplications. Is there some way to fix this? Alternatively, how can I reinstall the previous version of iTunes?
I have already authorized this computer with my Apple ID. I think this only allows me to re-download all purchased applications to the iTunes library again without re-purchasing them. However, iTunes still keeps asking me if I want to "erase and sync" or not.

HT5824 Synchronizing iPhone exchange contacts with iCloud
How can I add exchange contacts on my iPhone to iCloud so that they synchronize with my other devices via iCloud?
If you want to sync your exchange contacts with iCloud, you'll have to copy them to the iCloud account. If you want to do that, do the following (this assumes that the only non-iCloud account you are syncing contacts with is your exchange account):
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version. If you aren't sure, start with the free version; it will tell you if you have more than 500 whdn you run it.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your exchange account turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).*
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the exchange account back to your device, and to iCloud.
* If you want to keep syncing with your exchange account, you'll have to open the contacts app, tap Groups, then tap the uncheck the exchange account so it's no longer in view. Otherwise you will see duplicates of these contacts on your device. -
Can i sync mobile me and exchange contacts at same time?
hi, i've a mobileme account, with my contacts synchronized. The question is, if now, i configure on that same iphone, an exchange account (my work email), and i also sync exchange contacts, will my mobileme contacts be erased? or they will coexist both without any problem?
thanks!!!Yes, you can. Contacts from MobileMe and the Exchange server will be stored in separate groups. In addition, you'll have access to the Global Address List on the Exchange server.

My computer crashed and I need to reset up my phone. Iphone 3 running software Version 4.2.1
My computer crashed and I need to reset up my phone. I do not have a backup. Iphone 3 running software Version 4.2.1
After researching this, I understand that I will need to reload iTunes on a new computer, deactivate the prior computer and authorize the new computer with iTunes. I can then restore any apps and music purchased through iTunes. (Insert Question 1 Here.) Then Sync the phone with the new account, taking care to do it manually so as not to overwrite the information on the phone. This should restore the apps and music to my phone. (Insert Question 2 Here.) This process will not restore photos (Insert Question 3 Here.) I would like to over write my current phone calendar (start fresh remove all appointments) and have it sync with a different iTunes. (Insert Question 4 Here) .
Am I forgetting anything or misunderstanding anything? Thank You!
Question 1: Apple help states that you can download previous purchases directly to phone with iOS4.3.3. Then later states that iOS 5 or later is required for iPhone (CDMA Model). ON this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 I am still running Version 4.2.1 on my iPhone 3. Will this cause difficulty with restoring apps and music (purchased through iTunes) to my phone?
Question 2: What happens to data stored in the apps within the phone? Like password information stored in Splash ID, Files Stored in Air Sharing, or photos stored in a separate app (not the standard photo library)?
Question 3: Will the photos in my iPhone standard library be deleted when I sync? Does anyone know of a way to save them other than emailing them to the computer, prior to syncing?
Question 4: Is it possible to have my calendar and contacts sync at my office computer and have the other items sync to my personal home computer? How does that affect my restore process? I want to ensure the contacts are NOT deleted, but I want the calendar to be overwritten and start fresh.The software update process does not touch any user data or settings. Fact is, merely updating your software should not have deleted your contacts. Something else is going on here. First of all, the only signed firmware available for your phone is iOS 4.3. So, how were you able to update to iOS 4.2.1, since that is no longer available from Apple? First thing done when you update software is an iPhone backup. Included in that backup are your contacts. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC, right-click your phone in the left device pane & select "Restore from Backup". Select the backup made when you started to update your phone. Note: this will also install iOS 4.3 on your phone.
