Whenever I open iCloud it "checks" Contact automatically and I don't want it to store Contacts.

Whenever I open iCloud it "checks" Contact automatically and uploads Contacts and I don't want it to. How do I get it to open with no selections?
Regards, Jim Easton

Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck 'Contacts'.  Note that since the contacts are kept on the server they will disappear from your Mac, so you will need to download them. So you need to follow the following procedure:
1. Go to icloud.com, the contacts page. Select the top contact, then shift click on the bottom contact to select all. Click the cogwheel icon and choose 'Export vCard'. Save this on the Desktop.
2. Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck 'Contacts'. Your contacts will disappear from your Mac (but not from the server).
3. Go to Contacts on your Mac and choose 'Import' from the file menu. Select the vCard file you exported from iCloud.

    thanks in advance...

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

  • Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to log onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... Help?

    Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to long onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... I'm finding it frusrtrating and annoying since I cannot use Firefox 4.0 Beta 6. It works on other accounts excluding mine - What is this crap rigged or something? I have to resort to crappy Google Chrome and Safari since it messed up on both of my computers... Here's what it says when I double-click the short-cut: " Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features. " Although, it says the way to help - Can you like, dumb it down for me?
    ALSO, here's what it says when I go onto http://runescape.com - It says: An error occurred during a connection to www.runescape.com:443.
    Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.
    (Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled)

  • TS4009 I am not able to open iCloud from my settings, Sirs says I don't have iCloud installed what has happened?

    I am not able to open iCloud from my settings, Sirs says I don't have iCloud installed what has happened? I have an email saying my device can't be backed up because my I cloud is full, and telling me to go to settings to manage it, but my iCloud button is in light grey instead of black and unresponsive.

    Go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set this to Allow Changes.  You will then be able to access Settings>iCloud again.

  • I switched to Verizon ISP. They configured my pc (Win7) to make their tabs appear in Firefox. I do not want them, and I don't want to manually close them when I open Firefox. How do I delete them permanently, or block them from appearing?

    They also appear in IE, and I don't want them there either, but that is not so important as I seldom use IE.

    The paper you cite has nothing to do with the question I posed. It deals with the page(s) Firefox opens when it starts. My question is about all the little tabs shown at the top of that page -- put there by Verizon -- which I do not want! Before Verizon mucked with my computer only 1 tab showed up there when I opened Firefox: my start page. Now all kinds of tabs to Verizon pages show up there automatically. I want them banished!

  • How I can solve this problem or manipulate it ports 80,443 are closed by ISP and they don't want to open it

    hi,
     I see that I have a particulier abonnee of my ISP , which has closed all the ports for security reason and they don't want to open  any of it 80,443 ect.
    suppose If I want to use Essential server 2012  how I can solve this problem , essential wants domain name whith A record.
    I asked DDNS service provider if I lease from them a domain name whith A record  would that help to open or manipulate the port 80,443  they said that I have to solve this problem myself . they lease only domain names with dynamic dns records.  
     so what can be a solution the ISP provider won't open this ports , how I can solve this problem .   domain name with ip adres is not helping so what it's go to help?
    thanks
    johan

    The domain name in this instance is only used for remote access, and is seperate from the active directory domain name.
    If your ISP blocks port 80 and 443, and you dont intend to use remote access anyway, the wizard will likely not complete successfully whether you have a valid domain name or not.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

  • I'm wondering if I should update to firefox 5 from firefox 3.6? I use Zotero for my dissertation research and I have lots of stored info in Firefox 3.6 like frequent flier numbers that load automatically that I don't want to lose. Suggestions?

    My advice is to stick with Firefox 3.6.x for a while yet, it is still supported.
    Otherwise, see the Zotero website for advice about their program and updating to Firefox 5.0 (or 6.0 when it is released in 3 weeks).

    when I start a new tab yahoo search comes when I start a new tab yahoo search comes and I don't want that. how do I get a different web site to open?

    You need to figure out what you have installed which changed that action to Yahoo from a blank tab, which is the default action in Firefox; and then get rid of that add-on. Then you can can install an add-on which allows you to select what you want in the new tab.

    This article provides some suggestions: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned there, deleting photos and videos attached to your text messages may significantly reduce the size of your iCloud backup and the storage it occupies.

    It's syncing my iCal calenders. But it's putting different calendars information into other calendars. I look at my calendars basically color coded and the same multiple informaion is in wrong calendars. Understand?
