Specify Account for contacts

While adding a new contact I am unable to choose what account should it be added. How can I set it up?
I have two Exchange accounts and I am only able to set up the preferred account for standard mail and standard calendar. For contacts I have not found a setting neither in the preferences of the Z10 nor while adding the contact.
I am using BB Z10 running OS 10.0.10.90, German language.

When creating a new contact on the BlackBerry Z10, it is automatically added to all of your Personal accounts, except in the case that you have a Work account configured and create the contact there.
Thanks.

No default account for contacts

Hello
Iphone 4s with ios 7.0.4, no jail.
I have carddav account with baikal server and want to have default contacts from it. But the "default account" for contact is disappeared
Please, somebody tell me when I wrong?
Thank You

If you do not have a "Default Account" box it is because only one account for the contacts exists on your device.

I have my @gmail account for iTunes purchases, and my @me account for contacts/calendar, how do I approach iCloud and how will this affect me?

I know accounts cannot be merged. The @gmail account has existed for years before the @me account.
I haven't been able to set up my phone yet because I have absolutely no idea how this will affect me, when it was quite clear before.
How will this affect me in the future? What about when my @me service expires (I had just under a free year left)? What email should I link? What should I be worried about if kept separate or the same as they are now?
I still don't even understand what exactly iCloud does yet. If I set up my phone with whatever my iCloud account is, is it locked in? Since no credit card info or applications or purchases are associated with it, it will be of no use in that area.
I am absolutely confused on what I should do, and after spending 4 hours attempting to update my phone, am still stuck on having a useable device.

This point I don't quite understand. It is clear that:
   1) your additional 20gb are available only up to next summer
    2) the migrated account will be downgraded to a free account then.
    3) the purchased music and apps do NOT count in the 5 gb.
So, I don't know what you need the 20 gb in the "unused AppStore account" for. Your documents and emails are all on the 25 gb account.
I think, you can log into your non-me.com AppleID and change your e-mail address there without loosing what you purchased. So, I wonder what would happen if I put the me.com address there...
Not sure, I would try...
Regarding the me.com AppleID, you should make sure you have a secondary email account added there, otherwise it might be difficult to recover that account in case you cannot read the me.com email anymore. Interestingly, when I tried to put my non-me.com address there, it complained about that email already used by a different account. So, I guess if you try to put your gmail account there it will complain. So, you probably need a third independant email account....

Family account for contacts but with same apple ID - iCloud use

Hi, I am writing to ask what the best way to setup a multiple contacts account using the same apple ID for iCloud. My wife and I both use the same apple ID for our iPhones as well as our iMac and iPad. I would like to be able to have my contacts on my iPhone and iPad and have my wife's contacts on her iPhone (and obviously having both our contacts on our iMac for backup and reference). I have read some forums suggesting creating a "family" apple ID accout for some iCloud stuff where I could have my contacts linked to and then having our existing apple ID for her to use. We share calenders, downloaded apps/purchases and some Documents and Data (Money app) - all of which I would like to keep the way I have described. I would just like to be able to have my contacts and her contacts separate for iCloud purposes. I read something about the primary and second account settings in the Mail/Contacts/Calenders but it isn't very clear. I seem to
I have yet to venture creating such another apple ID account as I don't really know how to go about doing it.
Thanking you in advance,
Bill Cooley

Much easier to manage if you each have your own AppleIDs and computer logins.
You can easily share contacts and calendars through iCloud while still keeping them separate.
You keep this AppleID.
She creates a new one and adds it on her iPhone in Setttings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
These are your primary iCloud accounts
Now each of you go to Setttings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars and add an iCloud account.
Add the other's account (as a secondary iCloud account). You can select to use Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Notes, Find My iPhone.
I have my daughter's iCloud account this way and I use Contacts, Calendars, Reminders. This way I can view or update her info from my iPhone/computer.

Iphone5 - lost my contacts when moving from BT Yahoo to BT Mail. I do not back up to iCloud and I did not use my mail account for contacts. Can anyone help to find and restore my contacts?

IPhone5. I have lost my contacts when moving from BT Yahoo to BT Mail. I do not backup to iCloud and do not use my mail account to store contacts. Can anyone help find the contacts on my phone and restore them?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like Gmail, iCloud, or an Exchange server.
Have you failed to use the device as designed?

Gmail Exchange Account for Contacts

I set up my 4s contacts to come from my gmail exchange account. How do I get it to sync if I make a change in gmail on my computer? Do I need to turn the contact options off then back on? I'm sure there's an easier way!

If you set up your Gmail account as an Exchange account on the phone, any changes made should sync "automagically" over the air. You don't need to do anything.

iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him. I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account). I use icloud to sync calender and contacts with outlook 2007. How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud ?

On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.
