Is deleting Contacts & Photos possible - but not using Restore?
Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
For someone using a Mac:
Is there a way of deleting one's Contacts and Photos (data files) without using the Restore Option (which deletes EVERYTHING)?
I click on the iPod icon on my desktop and see a folder for Contacts and a folder for Photos, but within them I can't tell which would be my file for my actual Contacts and which would be the file that runs the Contacts App.
For example, the Contacts folder has 3 files:
ipod created instructions.vcf
ipod created example.vcf
iSync.vcf
Deleting any of these seems like I would be deleting the iPod's OS part of Contacts, not my contacts info.
Photos folder has one file and one folder within:
photodatabase
Thumbs
In my own computer, I would know how to delete my contacts or Photos. You look for those files.
I do not want to delete these files on computer so syncing iPod to computer for that purpose would not work.
Thank you,
- Ross
Hi,
Thanks for response.
Maybe I am missing something, but if you just uncheck sync for Contacts, then your old contacts remain in one's iPod.
Unchecking sync under "Photos," a prompt comes up, asking if you want all your photos removed or not. You have a choice.
But I see no such prompt for Contacts.

Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone
I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
How do i remove these things only from iCloud?I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
So problem solved. -
My computer crashed and I have to buy a new one. What happens to my Contacts, Photos, etc when i use the new computer? I do not have an iTunes backup.
Do you have the iCloud set up? If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer. You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life. It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future. I've used it many times.

I just bought an iMac now running OSX 10.8.4. I have a G5 running OXS 10.5.8 - External HD connected to the G5 been using Time Machine to back up. Need to get my files, photos etc. but not applications etc. onto the iMac. How do I do it?

Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes. If not, you may have to do some finagling.
Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17. If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily. -
I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?
To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device. -
How does my spouse get the benefits of using my iCloud for contacts and calanders but not messages, etc?
iCloud is designed for personal use and not for managing multiple access. If you gives your password to someone else, this person can benefit everything including access to purchase with your account, email, etc.
You should rather consider having each one an iCloud account and then, create and share a calendar. As for contact, you can send them to your spouse to be save in her account but they cannot be shared nor synced. -
i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?
You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled). -
How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone
how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -
i am looking to buy an ipad 2 or the new ipad (preferably 32gb) but dont want to buy the 3G version as i have unlimited data usage in my mobile phone plan, i know the wifi only ipad is generally cheaper, but i was wondering if there was a way to buy the ipad with 3G capabilities but not use the 3G and avoid the cost of paying the extra unnecessary data plan?

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?
If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it. -

im trying to free space on my iphone 4 8gb by deleting photos, if i put them onto my icloud can i delete the photo stream but still have the photos
There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts, tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right. -
How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums
How did the photos get onto the phone ? Only photos taken with the phone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the device. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

Corruption? - LIN_ATTACHMENT_RECORDs found but not used
Hi,
Since moving to GW 2014, a horrible problem has returned. We've used
GroupWise for as many years as I can remember, and some years ago, we
noticed on a regular basis, that emails were becoming 'corrupt' after
GWCHECK contents scheduled maintenance jobs had been run.
By 'corrupt', I mean we noticed numerous emails in shared mailbox folders
(not always shared folders though) were showing as 'posted' items, and the
header and property information was missing. Occasionally, all that remains
is a posted note with the subject, but most of the time it's the attachments
that are missing.
Now, our end users rely heavily on these shared folders, and there own email
mailboxes alike.
I assume the part of the GWCHECK log that refers to this behaviour is
"LIN_ATTACHMENT_RECORDs found but not used". I assume this because it
appears in GWCHECK content check logs occasionally, and when I first noticed
this issue all them years ago, it was present in the logs then too.
Can anybody help me out here? What is happening, and why? I will be under
real pressure to explain and solve this as soon as it is noticed once again
by my end users, and I can see from the logs that it's happened 3 times
since moving to GW2014...
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks, AlanHi Andy, sorry for the delay.
This error from previous years, was attributed to something going on with
the filesystem. However, just like back then, there is no AV or 3rd party
product touching the GW filesystem, so I have to assume it's not that. The
file systems is EXT3, the server was built by a consultant, so I'm not
certain any specific tuning was done with the server. Back in the NW days,
NSS settings were essential to optimise performance.
The filesystem is not accessible to anyone.
Hardware - it's a VM on VMWare, the data is on the SAN, not dedicated
storage to the VM itself. It's the latest SP's of both SLES and GWise, as
far as I am aware, it was built less than 2 months ago.
The SR is open with Novell now, but they are waiting for me to try some
things that need to be done out of hours...
"1. Delete all the scheduled maintenance from the admin console.
2. Wait for 10 minutes
3. During non working hours, bring down the POA and MTA and any other GW
agent
4. Rename the wpcsin, wpcsout from teh PO folder
5. Rename the wpcsin. wpcsout, MSLOCALfrom the domain folder
6. Restart the Agents
You can then use schedule one maintenance on the PO to check if all's well."
I'm not sure if any of that will change things, will keep this thread
updated though.
Thanks, alan
