We have an apple family consisting of an iPhone 4, iPad2, and an iphone 3G which we just upgraded to an iPhone 4 today. When we were setting up the new iPhone 4 to connect to iCloud and our apple ID we accidentally merged all the contacts via iCloud from both iPhones into 1 large contact list (the same list on both phones). We keep separate contact lists for our phones, but use iCloud to sync everything else together. I already figured out how to turn off the syncing of the contacts, but is there any way to revert/delete or however you want to word it, the contacts list back to each phone having only their original contacts? When I turned off the contact syncing in the iCloud settings it did ask if I wanted to keep the contacts from icloud or delete them so out of fear of it deleting ALL my contacts I tapped Yes to keep them (probably the wrong choice there). On my wife's new phone it is no big deal, I just manually deleted the 20 or so contacts that were added from my phone, but she has 100+ contacts that are now on my phone that I would rather not delete one by one manually. I also figure I could just do a restore from a backup on my phone through iTunes, but its been a while since I did one and I would end up loosing recent data and contacts so that isn't an option.
I ask because I got an iPhone 4S after my Nokia N95. When I had it, I used to sync my 700+ phone book entries with Outlook (2010).After getting iPhone, I could import this Outlook backup onto the new phone normally, then I eventually added a few new contacts to my book, naturally. When I get to icloud, I see only these added manually after I got the phone uploaded (synced).How to make all the 700 to go on the cloud?
I am having issues with duplicate contacts when i have both Gmail contacts and Icloud contacts synced. What is the best way to consolidate and prevent the replication of all these duplicate contacts? Is there an app that do this?
Got my htc and started the facebook app, and it started adding contacts to my phone book, managed to stop it before too many where added, but its added numbers I just don't want and can not see any way of deleting them.
I upgraded my 3Gs phone to a 4 while away on a trip. I synced with Icloud and have been happily using it. Just plugged it into my computer and am not sure what option (set up as new Iphone or Restore from back up) I need to choose and why.
before our home computer crashed i synced some pictures on my phone, now they are using up space and i dont want them on there anymore but i can't figure out how to delete them. iv'e went through my itunes and i can't find anything.
I've seen many variations on the answer to this question including linking the iPhone to the computer, going to photos under "iPhone," clicking sync all photos, selected photos, and clicking off the checks on the folders. My only concern with doing this is that it will delete all the photos on my phone not synced from my computer. Will that happen if I do this?
I just synced my iphoto from my mac to my Iphone 5s and now I can't delete the pictures i don't want from iphoto. It also deleted most of the pictures from my camera roll. What do I do to delete the pictures I don't want and get my other pictures back?
How do I delete the photo albums on my iphone 5s synced from my computer? the delete sign doesn't even appear next to those huge albums occupying 26 gb of my iphone.
How to delete photos from my iPhone 5 previously synced from my desktop but now have been deleted from my computer? I have an album on my phone named Desktop and can't delete photos from this album on my phone and they don't show up in iTunes now.
I bought a new iPhone and tried to sync it to my computer to get all my data on the new phone. However, on syncing the phone I was advised that I would have to set this up 'as a new phone' and sync later. My contacts and apps have gone onto the phone, but music, photos, settings and most importamtly text messages have not.
Well I synced my phone today, haven't synced in a week or so, and now I have no contacts. The contacts on my phone are gone, so I checked my computer and they are gone there as well.
When I synced it did pop up the window that says more than 10% of the contacts will be changed or anything. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get them back?
This is a total failure as far as i'm concerned with Ituned/iPhone. This is unacceptable.
I synced my 4s iphone to my laptop, windows 7. I was asked if I wanted to download pictures from dropbox. I said yes. I then lost most of my contacts in my phone. How do I recover them?
Info: iPhone 4S, Windows 7, I download pictures from dropbox
I just restored my phone and setup my MobileMe account on my phone, it accepted my password, and made turn all the toggles were set to "on." My calendars/bookmarks/contacts are not being synced to my phone. I checked me.com and everything is on there and on my computer, but not my phone.
