Why can I no longer edit contacts on my ipad after updating to to ios5?

Any help at all would be awesome! Just updated to ios5, and now i can't edit, add or delete any contacts at all. Any thoughts on why?
Cheers

Thanks guys, and yes, seems really weird. I hadnt merged contacts with iCloud (which is appearing to be far more trouble than its worth!) and I couldn't edit, add or delete contacts from my ipad, but as soon as I switched on this option in iCloud, they magically reappeared. I then turned it off again from mergeing with iCloud, and, for now at least, the option to edit remains!
Honestly, it really shouldn't be this difficult!
Thanks again.

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
    Here is one way

    Here is another

    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed

    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • Why can I no longer stream music on my ipad/iphone?

    I own an IPhone 4s with 16GB of storage capacity and a recently purchased IPad mini 2 with 32gb of storage capacity.  I am operating off of ITunes IOS 8.1.2 for my iPhone and 8.1.1 on my iPad,
    As of last year I was able to import music into itunes, upload it to icloud, and then stream the song on the device without it physically (or at least permanently downloading to my phone).  It would work when I was connected to the internet via wi-fi or using the data plan I have with my family plan.  The first time I realized there was a problem was when I attempted to stream music after downloading IOS 8.0.  As I was having other issues with my phone at the time (it not installing the IOS correctly, not recognizing songs being uploaded to the cloud, text messages not being sent to other apple users, it was low on my bucket list.)  Eventually I did look into it and found that people often suggested that I ensure that I enable icloud on my phone, and in music settings I turn on 'Show all Music' and 'ITunes Match'.  All of these were already selected and I saw no other solutions presented.
    This problem has now extended over to my IPad and even though both are connected to a data plan and they can connect other programs that require the internet when not connected via wi-fi the songs are greyed out on the phone and simply do not play on the iPad.  The symbol that allows me to download the music instead of stream it that shows up on the phone does not appear on my iPad which leaves me stuck with no way of listening to my music on my ipad if I am not connected via wi-fi.
    Can someone please tell me if the streaming ability was changed to only work if the connection was through wi-fi and not through data usage?  If not and there is something I have overlooked/been unable to find within other threads can someone please specify what I can do to get it to play the music?

  • Why can't I connect to internet on my ipad since updating to 8.3 even thought I am in sync with itunes?

    Why can't I connect to the internet on my ipad 2 since I updated to 8.3? ITunes indicated ipad is in sync and my wfi is working.

    On your iPad, go into Settings --> Wifi. Does your iPad indicate your device is on a wireless network?
    If so, can you verify your wireless network is correctly functioning?
    If not, connect your device to a wireless network. If the iPad refuses to connect to a wireless network. Go into Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Network Settings. If done correctly than you will NOT loose any data while reseting your network settings. After the reset, go back into wifi settings and attempt to connect to a wireless network.

  • Why can I no longer edit my text?

    I have a PDF form (non-fillable) that I was completing by using the typewriter tool in Acrobat 8 Standard.  I was originally able to enter and edit information as needed with no problems.  However, several weeks later I upgraded to Acrobat 9 Standard and now it will no longer allow me to make edits. The typewriter tool is grayed out. I also see a bar that states I am viewing the document in PDF/A mode that wasn't there before. Is there anyway to make this file editable again? Please help! I need to get this form submitted ASAP!
    Thank you!

  • Why can I no longer use "favorites" since the last Firefox update????

    I imported all my Favorites from Internet explorer when I first began using Firefox. I click on "favorites" and I get a complete list of all the URLs I use a lot. After the last update, the list no longer appears. I've reloaded the app and no joy. It still works if I quit firefox and use IE.

    Alternately, you can import your IE Favorites into Firefox's Bookmarks system. However, if you plan to add new Favorites in IE, then they would not be the same between browsers, so perhaps that isn't the right approach for you.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Your Firefox 9.0.1 is not the latest version anymore, so please update to the latest Firefox 10.0.x version via Help > About Firefox.

  • Why can't I delete rented movies on my ipad after watching?

    I've watched the movie I'm done with it and it's still there taking up space. I want it off my ipad!

    I was able to remove the expired movie by repeatedly pressing on the play button and the icloud symbol to download or play the expired movie. Itunes asked a few times for my username/password and after a few attempts at persistent pressing of the try to play or download the expired movie and being challenged a few times for my iTunes credentials, the movie cleared from my iCloud movies and the Rentals option disappeared from my iPad. Hopefully some of this persistent approach forces the cache on your device to sync up with iTunes and clears the expired movie for you. Good luck!

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.
