TS4147 How do I get iCloud & iPhone to use the contacts in address book on desktop?

using Max OS X 10.6.8 with an iphone4 and it cannot seem to get my phone to use the contacts I have in my address book on the desktop.
tried selecting "replace contacts" on the iphone for the alst update and even scrubbing the phone from start but still it wants to use my old contact list (same on iCloud)
help please.

Hey jel177!
It seems like you may need to turn off your iTunes in the Cloud features and download or sync the songs manually to your phone. Here is a link that can help you adjust those settings:
iTunes Match - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
Then, you can use this link to find your purchases and download them to your phone:

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

How do I get my iphone to use the same apple ID and password as my laptop

I have just bought an iphone 4s , Tmobile contract, and cannot get it toaccept my apple id and password that I use for my laptop. Do the apple IDs and paswords have to be different for each device?
If not how to Igethem to be the same?

go to settings>itunes and app store - if you are signed in then tap the id and sign out - try to sign back in and see if it gives you a particular error

My contatcs are duplicated on my iphone. How do I get icloud to resend from the the cloud

My contatcs are duplicated on my iphone when I merged iphone contacts and icloud contacts. How do I get icloud to resend from the cloud?

I did that and it gave me the option to boot from HD or Disk. I chose disk and it booted normally from the HD.

I encountered a similar problem when finally (and with much regret) I was obliged to migrate my MobileMe to iCloud last month.
Many years of iCal history vanished without trace during this automated transition by Apple and iCloud then kindly synched the resulting vacuum back to iCal on my Mac.
Fortunately, iCloud wasn’t able to decimate iCal on my other Macs because (1) they are still running Snow and (2) I had switched them off as a precaution. Good job I did.
My solution was to export my iCal data on one of those other Macs to a backup file – then I imported that backup file into my Lion-updated Mac’s iCal. That restored all the iCloud-deleted iCal data back on to my Mac and this was promptly synched automatically to my Calendar on iCloud. So now it’s all there and showing.
Perhaps you could do something similar? In the meantime, be very careful not to let iCloud’s amnesia get synched to your iPhone (and other devices).
Experience has taught me never to trust an “upgrade” until it is proven to be working correctly and always to keep in reserve another Mac with a properly-functioning system and all synching to it switched off...

How do U get icloud to appear in the finder

in Mountain Lion you can save text edit files to the icloud. How do I get iCloud to appear in the sidebar in Finder. On icloud only iwork is displayed for files. I usedropbox and it looks just like any other folder in Finder. Does iCloud behave the same?

Thanks. It began to dawn on me that this was the case as I try to poke around for ways to do this. I will continue to use Dropbox which works fantastically. Just wonder why Apple would come up with such a limited option.

I changed my appleID but iCloud is still using the old one and no place to change it. How do I get iCloud to update to the new ID?

You have to sign out completely and then sign back in.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server).
Your synced data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in (give it time).

Hi how can I get my iPhone to recognize the changing of my Apple ID in iTunes (my account) on my laptop?
Thanks in advance for your input!

It sounds like you created a new Apple ID rather than changing the email address of your current Apple ID. Apps are tied to the account that they were initially installed with. So the only solution is to delete the app and re-purchase it with the new Apple ID.

Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
And you can change the default program for a file type under File --> Info.
