    Deleting email and keeping contacts

    Hi guys, I need to delete a work email from my phone, as I left that job. I have 300+ contacts that are synced to that email (not by choice), is there a way for me to un-sync them? When I try to turn off "sync contacts" it warns me that it will delete all the contacts. Thanks!

    Siri has my son's contact info as default

    Hi, just installed Sierra on the Macbook Pro. When I set it up, I remember it asking "What do you want Siri to call you?" or something like that, and I typed in "James". Now, after a few days, I decided to use Siri to ask about the weather, and it replied "It's 72 degrees, Toby." Toby is my kids...

    Native Contacts App Won't Sync With Exchange

    I have an Exchange Internet Account set up on a Macbook Pro. Mail, Calendars, Reminders, and Notes all seem to synchronize properly (although Calendars can be sporadically flaky) with the Exchange Server. However, for some reason, new entries in the native Contacts app are not syncing with the...

    iPhone 6S contact reversion

    In my contacts, I go and update/add/delete info under a contact. Hit save and the info looks correct. I close out of said contact. I go back into contact and old info is there - none of my edits persist. How can I fix this issue? It's frustrating.

So I went online and read how to resolve the duplicates issue here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203565. Being a moron...

    Siri and Emojis in contacts

    So I regularly use Hey Siri to dial numbers in my contacts, as its great when you're driving and you want to talk on speaker, but after iOS 9.3.1 she has an annoying habit of now saying the contacts name along with the emojis I have on some of them. Whereas 9.2 or prior, she would just say the...

    OK so has setting your Individual Contacts to have different vibrations on your phone/wrist always been there as a choice or is it something new in the new software update 2.2?
