Lumia 900: How can I use SIM contacts without sync...

I'd like to use the phone numbers stored on my SIM card with my Lumia 900, but without publishing them to the Internet (= synchronizing them with Windows Live). I just want to use them locally on my phone. My contacts are of no public concern.
How can I achieve this?

  • Hello,  my ipad has never been paired with any computer.  My PC is ready to die and iTunes will not upload on it.  My iPad is insisting that I connect to iTunes and I can't get out of that screen.  How can I use my iPad without syncing it to iTunes?  Than

    Hello,
    My iPad 2 has never been "paired" with any PC.  My one and only PC is corrupted and will not, after many many attempts, download iTunes.  When I turn on my iPad it insists that I connect to my iTunes.  How can I avoid this and just get the iPad to work like normal?  Any help is much appreciated

    You cannot do anything with the iPad until you do as instructed by the iPad and connect to iTunes on a computer.
    You probably need to restore the iPad and the only way to do that is via iTunes on a computer.
    Take it to an Apple Store and ask for help at a Genius bar or take it to a friend's house that is running iTunes on their computer and try to restore it.
    You will lose all of your data and settings now because you never backed the iPad up in the past.

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

  • HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    Hi Saramos,
    When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
    Family purchases and payments
    When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
    As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Did you mean a Office or One Note?
    As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
    Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
    There you will find a options called Check for Updates

  • How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G

    How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G. Do I need to download any additional app than the one that already came with it?

    The Maps app included in iOS, at least as of the current version, requires an Internet connection, so you'll need to get an app that allows you to download maps to be kept on the iPad. MotionX GPS Drive is one such app, but there are others available.
    Regards.

    Apparently Google keeping a "copy of everything" isn't deterrent enough for you to get another device. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you've posted in the Android forum, indicating you have a Google product.
    Frankly, I could care less about them copying everything. I don't post or type anything online that's incriminating or private anyway. Technically, your ISP has access to anything and everything you transmit or receive through their network, anyway.

    my iphone 4 button doesn't work. How can i use my iphone without the working button?

    Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

  • How can I prevent personal contacts from syncing with Exchange corporate email?

    I have my phone synching with my work Exchange server over ActiveSync, and have 2 personal email accounts (POP and IMAP).  The 2 personal accounts are also configured in Outlook 2010 on my home computer.  Itunes is also installed on this computer. 
    I want my contacts from my 2 personal accounts to sync to my phone (which is working), but not have them sync to my work account (this part is not working the way I want).  I now have all my personal contacts uploaded to my work account.  How can I remove the contacts from my work account without removing them from my phone?

    Unless you are in the same household, the agreement for Mountain Lion does not allow the setup you have now.
    You need to spend another US$30 and buy an additional copy and get that other MacBook on its own unique Apple_ID.

  • I just made a new account and i placed the account in my ipod but now its asking me submit a payment method which i do not want to place because i do not want to purchase any app that requires money. how can i use my account without giving a payment metho

    now asks me to put in my payment method. i do not wish to place it in because i am not looking forward to purchase any app that needs to be paid for. How can i use my account but not give in my credit card data?

    Create a NEW account/ID using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
