Unwanted Contact sync

We decided to activate iMessage on my son's iPod touch 5. I used the current Apple ID that is used for an iPhone 5C, iPhone 4s and an iPod 4. The problem I'm having is that for some reason this iPod is syncing with my contacts. Neither of the other 2 devices have this problem. I have turned iCloud off for contacts on all devices. Plus, I have turned iCloud back up off on the iPod 5. Do I need to create a new Apple ID for just this device? Why didn't I have to do that for the others? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can create Apple IDs whenever you like.
As it stands now, the only way to share content is with a single Apple ID. When Apple releases iOS 8 this fall, Family Sharing will be enabled. This will give you the option to link other Apple IDs to yours to share content and approve/deny purchases by other users. You can find more info about that here:
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
If you can't wait until the fall to get it sorted out, you can use your Apple ID to sign into the App Store, but still have separate IDs for the other individuals signed into iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.

Unwanted contacts synced with Office 365 and Exchange 2013

I have an issue with unwanted contacts on Mavericks (and formerly Mountain Lion) syncing with our hosted Exchange server on Office 365. The problem began when the Office 365 service upgraded to Exchange 2013. I do not use iCloud at all.
The unwanted contacts are only visible when I click on “All Contacts” within Contacts.app and do not appear in any hosted or local contact group. They are synced to all our macs, but are not visible on anything else, including Outlook.app or OWA, or our iPhones and iPads. Each user with a hosted Exchange account on Office 365 has the same problem, but with a different set of unwanted contacts. Normal contacts behave as expected for each user and device.
The format of the unwanted contacts is simple. They contain nothing but an email address (no name, phone, IM or other details) which leads me to think they are automatically generated recent or suggested contacts, although some of them are quite old. We use Mail.app exclusively on our macs.
I can delete these unwanted contacts one at a time from any of my macs, and although they appear to be deleted on the server (resyncing another mac deletes them there too), they will reappear (resynced from Exchange) within a day or two and they have to be deleted all over again. It is a frustrating and time consuming process.
My questions then:
can I prevent Contacts.app from the syncing these contacts?
or can I prevent Mail.app from presumably sending them to the server in the first place?
or is there a command I can issue through Powershell to tell Exchange to delete and not retain these contacts?
Any other suggestions to prevent this behaviour would be most welcome.

I'm having this exact same issue.
Have you seen this thread? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5252673?start=45&tstart=0
I'm on Exchange 2013, which I manage, and Mavericks. I also noticed you can see a "Linked Contact" on OWA 2013.
This is just more of the extremely poor Apple software engineering we have seen over the last few years...

Unwanted Contact Sync disaster

I have just got the 7.1 upgrade. Unbeknownst to me the BB has picked one of my email addresses and synced all my contacts to it over the net . . . this is really bad as I don;t want my contacts synced to any of my email accounts, ever. i just want them on my BB and only my BB. If I delete them from the net they disappear from my BB. I cannot create a new one without it being on an email account. Do I need to downgrade back to 7.0 to stop this?
Solved!

Can I just have the contacts only on the BB and it never ask me what email address a new contact should be associated with?
Yes, do what I said above, disable the contact sync.

If you have more than one email account on the BlackBerry, the address book will associate itself with one or the other. But if you disable the sync as directed, it won't.
This is not a function OS7.1 upgrade, it's been here since OS5, and is a function of the BIS integration of your accounts.

Google Contact Sync - Unwanted Changes

Often I will find that a contact either will suddenly have a different phone number from one day to the next always matching the phone number of another contact. This happens while using the Gmail Contact Sync built-in to BIS. For example:
Day 1
John Smith with a mobile number of 123-456-7890.
Jack Jones with a mobile number of 555-555-5555.
Day 2
John Smith has a mobile number of 555-555-5555.
Jack Jones has a mobile number of 555-555-5555.
This change will happen with no intervention on my part in either Google Contacts or on my phone. John Smiths' old number will be lost (or worse, moved to a third contact unknown to me).
The result has been phone calls and text messages meant for one person going to another person entirely and unexpectedly.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to send feedback that this is happening and have it fixed? Or anything I can do on my end to have this not happen any longer? It is getting to be quite a problem.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi,
In this case we can try to reload the software on the BlackBerry smartphone to make sure it is running the latest version and there are no issues with the OS.
To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your BlackBerry smartphone. Click on the Backup and Restore button and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry smartphone please follow the link below to complete a clean reload of the BlackBerry smartphone software.

Contacts synced from Facebook in iOS 6 won't delete

I have downloaded iOS 6 and it brings over your contacts from Facebook. It has allowed me to delete a couple of unwanted contacts, but now it has stopped deleting them!
Any ideas guys and gals?

You can't delete albums that you have synced to your iPhone directly on the iPhone. To delete them you have to sync again with the unneeded albums unselectsd in iTunes.

Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?

An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone. From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts? In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
This is absurd. My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud. I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
Now it seems that is no longer possible. Is this by design? Why on earth was this removed? Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??

The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:

How do I stop my contacts syncing with Outlook 2011?

Hi - I have been using Outlook 2011 but I want to stop using it because it's really buggy. I have opened sync services in Outlook and unchecked all, but how do I make my contacts sync with Address book again? At present they will not

What is syncing between them ? If calendars, contacts, safari favourites then are you using the same iCloud account on both devices and have them enabled in Settings > iCloud on both ?
If apps, music, and/or ibooks that you buy on one device are automatically downloading on the other device then do you have automatic downloads enabled for them in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone/iPad ?

How do I stop unwanted contacts on facetime

how do I stop unwanted contact on facetime this party keeps sending me messages and I have asked them to stop but they wont.

The Mail app doesn't have a spam filter, any filtering that you want to do needs to be done before it reaches the iPad - if you log into your account via a browser, does your email provider have any settings/options that you can enable ?

I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar/tasks/contacts sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5, I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5

I have wasted so many hours trying to make this work and researching Apple support. Nothing works so I am hoping to get an answer here.
First of all, here is what I am using:
Windows 7 32 bit
Outlook 2010
iPhone 5 and iPad 3
iOS 7.0.2 on both devices
I have downloaded the iCloud app for my Windows computer and checked that it sync my contacts, calendar, and tasks. I have enabled iCloud on my phone for contacts, calendars and tasks. I have not been able to get anything to sync. My iCloud calendar appears in Outlook but everything is grayed out. I see the iCloud reminders under my tasks tab but there is nothing listed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud on my Windows computer. I have turned off the calendars, tasks, and contacts sync under iCloud on my phone and turned them back on - nothing. I have restarted my computer and iPhone - nothing. Same results with my iPad - nothing.
Additionally, I have gmail as my personal email; also am forced to use Good for Enterprise for my work email.
I am at my wits end. I finally ended up syncing today with the USB cable via iTunes but the whole point behind iCloud is to be able to sync wirelessly.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

So at least since October 2008 there has been a lot of trouble with this Sync business on iPhone and iPod touches. In July 2009 the problem persists and no easy to find news from Apple on the issue.
I'm dreaming of the time where my Palm V used to do the job - a push of a button and synching is done - it's been like that for more than 10 years with that device. With Apple I was hoping to improve to photo synching - all I can do now is using the dreadful Windows Address book. I could also buy some Apple gear. But I won't yet since I think Apple should get it's software right on any platform - not just the one they built themselves.
What do you think - will there be a solution any time soon that helps fixing sync **** problems like the one describe above?

I know it may not make you feel any better, but I've not had any trouble with a 1st Generation or a 3G with syncing with Outlook 2003 or 2007. Both phones are still working flawlessly. Let me ask you as couple of questions about your problem. Is contact syncing the only thing that is not working? Have you been able to see your phone in iTunes and does Calendar sync?
For photos you mention, does the computer recognize the iPhone in My Computer under Scanners and Cameras? If so, you should be able to transfer photos the same way you do from any other digital camera. You would just use the same software you use for that purpose, or you can just click on the iPhone in the Scanner and Camera section and copy the photos from there.

Google contact sync gets hung since 4.4.2 OTA android update

My S4 stopped completing Google contact syncs after the last Android update. All other Google tools complete the sync (App Data, Calendar, Drive, Gmail, etc), but the little arrow circle next to Sync Contacts stops spinning and gets hung. At the bottom of the screen, the Cancel Sync button stays on indefinitely.
Eventually, this error message shows:
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
I've force stopped and Cleared Data on the "Contacts Storage" in Application Manager.
I've removed and re-added the Google account.
I've done a factory reset.
I've done multiple combinations of the above 3.
Can you get me a quick fix, put me on a beta Lolipop, or revert me back to the previous stable build of Android?

I'm sorry you can't sync your e-mail accounts with your Galaxy since the update CoolGeorge. I would be extremely frustrated if my accounts weren't syncing. Let's get this fixed. When did you get the update on your phone? Do other apps sync on the phone? (Such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.) Please try removing the accounts from your phone, clear the memory, http://bit.ly/R0eeM7 , then restart the phone. Once this is completed, turn phone back on, download the accounts again, and try to sync. Let's see if this helps. Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

Outlook Shared Contacts Sync Issue

**Before i start, i posted this in the Outlook section and was told to post it the Outlook for Exchange section.. So i posted this in the Outlook for Exchange section and the Moderator tells me to post it in the
Outlook section.. So i'm being thrown in a loop back and forth between two forums. Please help me either post it in the correct section or help me with my issue. Links to my posts are at the bottom of this re-post.**
I have a user who adds emails to the "Notes" section of a shared contact. It has worked in the past. She now drags and drops the email into the notes folder, it shows that the email was added, she saves the contact, closes the contact,
then reopens the contact and the information/email that was added is no longer there.
Also, when she opens up the contact, on the top of the window it says "This item was not completely updated during the last server synchronization"
On the bottom of the contact's window it says "Last modified by [email protected] on 11/19/2014" So it doesn't seem to have updated for about 5 months.
The user is on Outlook 2010 - Cached Mode - Windows 7
We use Exchange 2013
We have checked her sync issues folder and see two messages pertaining to this shared contact.

Hi Allen,
Neither are correct. They open a contact in their address book and drag the email into the "Notes" section of the contact. So they do not drag the email into the Notes section of Outlook nor the Contacts section to create a new contact.
There are no errors. I have a screenshot with an example contact card but i can't add it because it says i need to verify my account.. I'm not sure how to do that. I already clicked on the verification email. For example. An email
to me from Bill titled "company announcement" is dragged into the notes section of in Bill's contact card. This is so that i can go to my contacts, click on bill's card, and see emails from him that are important saved inside his contact card.
After dragging the email into this location, I hit save and close the contact card. Usually the email stays there in the notes section but lately when I reopen the contact card, the email that I dropped into the Notes section has disappeared. Other
emails are still in the Notes section but new ones just don't stay.
Just tried doing a Send/Receive All and same issue. User is in cached mode because they have a large mailbox. Can try online mode. Do you know if the Notes section in the contact list has
a size limit?

We need help with unwanted contact requests

In the last 2 weeks, I have received 13 unwanted contact requests that I have blocked, which is roughly 2 unwanted contact requests for every Skype message or call I'm interested in receiving.
All of my privacy settings are set to "Contacts" and I do not publish my Skype ID on LinkedIn, the only social media site I use.
What else can I do?

Hello Gilad,
Thank you for your contact!
The script does not work, no error message comes up, I am sure it`s a
stupid mistake but neither my boss nor I are programmers.
Please have a look at the form enclosed, the field in question (field
name "calculated currency value", red border) is on the top right and
refers to the field "FX" (field name "FXname 4800") below (blue border)
Both fields are in number format so I don`t know why this doesn't work,
what else can it be?
With kind regards
Ursula
