TS2481 I don't want all my contacts on my iPhone5 but I want my calendar sync-ed i.e. totally up-to-date. Is it possible to create settings for sync-ing?

The sync-ing program will warn me that it's about to make massive changes to my contacts on my iPhone i.e. add in a whole bunch of contacts that I don't want on my phone. At that point I can cancel the sync and stop those contacts from being added. But as a result, my calendar is not getting updated. Seems to me there should be a way of controlling what gets sync-ed and what doesn't. But so far I haven't been able to find a way to do that. Thoughts?
Incidentally, I have no idea if I'm in the right community...

Don't know about your contacts, but for you calendar be sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default calendar on your phone. Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Defaut Calendar>choose Calendar under your iCloud email address (not Calendar under On My iPhone). You might want to review this to be sure you have set up iCloud correctly: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

How do I 'undo' Sync - get rid of my personal email account. I don't want to use Sync anymore!

You can login to your sync account if you want to delete it.

I use floating time zone with all of my iCal entries. But then the times of the entries do not print when printing month view. Is there a fix for this?

I don't want Facebook friends synced to Contacts.

In order to use Facebook from Preview and other apps, I need to login to Facebook. But then it says when I do that all Facebook friends will be imported into my Contacts, which I do not want. But I DO want to be able to sync Contacts through iCloud to my other devices. So how do I enable Facebook, not let it download friends to my Contacts, but keep other Facebook iCloud syncs?

OK, if I go where you said and enter my Facebook info, I get this message: "Signing into Facebook will: Download your Facebook friends to the Contadcts app...Allow you to post status update etc to Facebook...Enable apps to work with your Facebook account. In System Prefs you can disable Contacts syncing and disallow any app from accessing your Facebook account."
So it sounds like I only have two choices: To have all my Facebook friends in my Contacts (which I don't want; what a mess to scroll past them all on my phone) or to disable Contacts syncing, which will not allow all my contacts to stay synced between devices, right?

Set my wifes account up with mine. Now all our data combines. How do I set up an account just for her so we don't share all our contacts and such??

Set my wifes account up with mine. Now all our data combines. How do we set up her own account so we don't share all contacts and such??

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:

I don't want passwords to sync on iCloud keychain for all devices

Hi, hopefully someone can help
I bought an iPad for my Mum a few years ago. She's an elderly lady and doesn't know a lot about computers so the iPad was great! I set up her account (Apple ID etc) under my email so that I could log in and change updates etc when needed (and I'd remember my details!).
I've just purchased my first Apple product, the MacBook Pro (which I love btw). Because I'm new to Apple I'm still learning about iCloud/iCloud keychain. I registered my Mac Pro with my original Apple iD (the same one as my Mum's iPad). Now I realise it would have been better to register it with a new account as I don't want passwords/photos/apps etc. syncing from both devices.
I'm not sure how to get around this now? Definitely a rookie mistake, but like I said, I'm still learning!
Thanks

Registering your Mac with a shared ID won't cause it to sync any data from an iCloud account. Only signing into the same iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud would do that. You can leave your registration as it is now. Just sign into iCloud with a different Apple ID in System Preferences>iCloud and your keychain and other iCloud data will be separate from your mum's.

Sync Tungsten T5 - DON'T want docs to sync...

null
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

OOPS hit enter by accident when titling thread.
Been trying to sync my T5 with Outlook. ALL I want is my calendar and contacts. I don't want my docs to sync (plus there's NO WAY they'd ever fit on the palm, waaaaaaaaaaaay too many).
When I try to sync, it 'hangs' on syncing documents (for an hour or more)... so I have to shut it off and 'end program' on my pc.
Gone into settings of docs to go, and on the palm and unchecked the docs from the list of items to be synced, and yet it still tries, and gets 'hung' on it.....
Not sure what I've done wrong, or how to make it stop trying
thanks in advance for any assistance

Don't want to pollute my ipad how can I selectively transfer data from mac mini?

I have had users on this computer that have downloaded questioanble resources. I have grandchildren and we like to play on my ipad I do not want any objectionalbe video on this ipad. I also don't want to make my creative content available for duplication to a user who had hooked up their iphone. I am attempting to start over with my ipad. I have tried to keep them off the main computer but I need safeguards since the user is opportunistic. They also have a better understanding and advantage I am however an administrator at least as much as much as my husband allows me. I believe this user could still manupulate via wireless or remote with her iphone. I want to stop her completely but I know to challenge this user completely would mean an esculation. I have seen my email with another adress attached . I sometimes put in the exact password and still find for a short period cannot get into e-mail an Apple password might not work? Is there script I can see that would suggest a problem.

Your situation is a little bit confusing to me, but I will give this a try. I hope that I fully understand what you are trying to do.
There is no way that anyone can access your iPad wirelessly or remotely at all. It just is not possible to do that in iOS. Because of the sandboxed nature of the iOS, it will not allow that type of interaction. However, if your iPad has been "polluted" by another user or that user's content, you might want to totally erase the drive and start all over again, and not restore from a backup. Erase it and start all over again completely. You will still be able to download most if not all of your paid content again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to make the purchases.
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings will totally wipe the iPad clean and you will have to activate the device all over again. Don't restore from the backup when you get to the point during the activation where you are prompted to do so.
If you want to download all of your constant again, read this.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store ... - Support - Apple
Erasing your iPad and starting over again is pretty radical if you are not absolutely sure that this users has really sabotaged the device. Please make sure that you realize what you are doing, and if I am reading the situation incorrectly, please state that in your response.
What you are saying about this user having access to your computer is certainly concerning and without knowing what the circumstances surrounding her ability to do so, I can only recommend that you discuss this situation with your husband and take steps to prevent her from using it, or at least from using it without you being there to observe.

I don't want iCloud to sync my iTunes music to my iPhone...how do I make this not happen?

Hi Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can make it so that my iTunes on my PC doesn't get sync'd to my iPhone. I have an iPod that I keep my music on, and I don't want my music on my iPhone. I'd be very grateful for any help you guys can provide.

PS-- all of the above is in reference to using iCloud

I just erased all my contacts on accident while trying to fix an ical syncing problem. Please help!

Hello There,
I have NO idea what just happened. I am trying to stay calm here. Please help.
I have been trying to fix the fact that my iphone calendar isn't sending info to my ical on my MacBook Pro. I followed some instructions I found in a forum and then unplugged my phone haphazardly by not ejecting it from iTunes... I just pulled it off the cord and all my contacts erased in a blink of an eye. Here's the instructions I followed. Please tell me how I can get them back! Can I call AT&T? BTW... the instructions didn't fix the ical problem either.
(These are the instructions I tried from http://iphonewriter.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues.h tml) I added my own sidenote in Bold.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
***When I re-opened ical nothing was gone but I followed the following steps anyways.***
     5. Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
     6. Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
     7. Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.
MacBook Pro OSX.6.8 and iPhone 3GS

Hi,
Can't you restore your iPhone via iTunes and use the "restore from last backup". I know when I has my phone replaced this copied all my contacts (from my last sync)back to my phone.
Hope that helps

Does the iphone 4 work with Ford SYNC? I recently lost all my contacts and think it had something to do with SYNC. Any suggestions?

Anybody else had problems with Ford SYNC and iphone 4?
Lost all my contacts. Any way to recover them if they haven't been backed up?

The complaints I've heard most are due to the fact that the iPhone will not let you use the sync system to read and compose text messages, etc. I vaguely recall somthing about address books not syncing properly, but I've never heard of the sync system wiping the address book on the phone. It shouldn't be possible as the iPhone only supports PBAP for contact syncing, which is one way.
In any event, if the contacts were not synced to something and have been lost, there is no way to recover them, no matter what it was that wiped them.

Trying to download my pictures from vacation and my phone automatically reset to origional setting and I lost all my contacts and pictures. Is there any way to restore my phone back to today's date.

I just lost all my contacts and pictures from vacation trying to download them to my computer because my phone reset to my origional sitting. Is there a way to reset my phone back to today date or recover my pictures?

In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

Erase the phone via Find my Phone. This will only work if you had Find my Phone activated before you lost it.
