TS3988 When setting up icloud I entered through the section that ask if i want to sync various devices. and now all texts emails,contacts are duplicated on all devices. I don't that to happen. How do I shut that function off?

Hoe do I shut of the sync function on Icloud?

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

    mayday....I inadvertly erased my contacts when I deleted them from my old phone and now my contacts in my new phone is empty.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do you have a back up taken prior to deleting them.
    To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
    To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • What does it mean when setting up iCloud that it asks merge with iCloud?

    I am setting up iCloud on my phone.  It is asking me if I want to "merge with iCloud"?  Will I lose contacts or pics if I say "Merge".

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you already have some contacts on your phone when you sign up for iCloud, iCloud will ask you if you wish to keep these contacts on your phone only and start an additional iCloud accounts for contacts, or merge the two accounts together so that all the contacts will be in the new iCloud account.
    Nothing will happen to your photos when you sign up for iCloud photos are not involved in this procedure.

    Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
    BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • I was using my notes earlier today and now for some reason they are all gone. How does this happen and is there anything I can do to get them back, the new ones also that haven't been synced.

    Press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver. If that doesn't work, proceed as follows.
    For OS X 10.7: From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Universal Access ▹ Seeing ▹ VoiceOver: Off
    For OS X 10.8 or later: Select

  • When I adjust the duration of a clip or transaction, iMovie automatically adjusts the duration of another clip; how can I shut this feature off?

    In iMovie when I adjust the duration of a photo clip or transaction, iMovie automatically changes the duration of another clip; how can I shut this feature off?

    Ok, well you won't get a "speed scale" indicator when editing a title clip. You can only adjust duration. Now, is there music attached to the title clip? Are you adjusting the TITLE TEXT box ONLY? Try adjusting the clip BELOW Title Text box 1st, then Title Text clip.  Is the Title attached to your own video OR is it one of iMovie's default Titles??

  • When I turn on my wifi in top bar and connect,minutes later I get an annoying pop up notification letting me know I'm connected, AGAIN. It freezes everything including psswds and I have to start all over This is petty but how do I shut this popup off?

    When I turn on my wifi in top bar and connect,minutes later I get an annoying pop up notification letting me know I'm connected, AGAIN. It freezes everything including psswds and I have to start all over. This is petty, but how do I shut this popup off?

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

  • Error message when setting up icloud

    Trying to set up icloud.  Error saying " the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone. How do I know what accounts are activated?

    This means that three iCloud accounts have been created using the iPhone. There is a limit of three for any device or Mac; it's tied to the hardware, not the account, and you can't get round this. You can only proceed by creating an account on another device or Mac, then you will be able to sign into it on the iPhone.
