Thanks for that J.A. - worked a treat! However, all my old contacts are still there (or were re-installed) and I would like to delete them all. Better still, to highlight most and delete them. I tried "edit" but it appears you can only delete one contact at a time which would take ages. Any...

Hi, Can anyone help me please. I have a 7th gen mini iPad which is set up with my name etc. I wish to give the mini to my wife and do a complete reset in her name etc. I'm aware of the hard reset and carried this out but it is still registered to me. It would help if I could retain the...

Hi Johanna, AFAIK you can only scroll down and delete after initiating the edit icon. You don't appear to be able to do much without the edit function. I did delete all my son's contacts in iCloud but somehow they come back! I'm giving up and will live with the extra contacts. Frankly, I find...

OK - I deleted my son's unwanted contacts from my iCloud and then carried out a full reset on my iPad. Guess what? the pesky contacts came back! I give up, I'm going to delete each unwanted contact manually on the iPad. One final question though (I promise!). In order to delete the unwanted...

Hi Johanna, One further question - I haven't downloaded iOS7 as yet. There seems to be conflicting views on it and many problems. Are you happy with the update? GrantB

Hi Johanna, Don't know if you will know the answer to this one. I have downloaded (and paid for!) the Code Two Sync program. I have now cleared out my Son's contacts from iCloud and synced it with Outlook on my PC. If I now sync between iCloud and my iPad using Code Two, will it delete the...

Thanks to both Johanna and lowertech for your help. In desperation I contacted Apple Support and finally found out what the problem was. Apparently I put my wife's email address as my second email address on my Apple ID and hence could not use this for my wife's iPad. I therefore cancelled this...

I am having a problem creating a new ID on both my PC and iPad. It would appear that somehow I have created an ID previously but I'm not able to change the password. On my PC I have asked for this password to be sent to the email address but it does not arrive. If I try to change the ID in...

Hi Joanna, Many thanks for your reply. I believe the problem is I did not have an outlook.com account as such. When I went to the outlook.com site I signed in using my Microsoft user name and password and was informed that I now have an Outlook email account! but I don't know the address etc...

Hi Joanna, Thanks for your prompt response and clear instructions. When you say "I assume you've set up your Outlook account on your iPad as well", I have previously set up my email address in the Accounts section which has the sub-text, Contacts, Calendars etc. When I click on this it goes to...

I have recently added to my Contacts list in Outlook on my PC but they are not being transferred to my iPad when I sync. I have ticked the appropriate box in iTunes "info" and then syncing but still not receiving the contact updates on my iPad. What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Grant B

Hi Joanna, Thank you for your reply. previous to your reply, I did carry out a full "Erase all content and settings" but not the iCloud turn off. It did reset everything but my son's contacts are still there. If I carry out your suggested procedure again will this cause any problems? Cheers...

I have recently inherited my son's iPad and wish to change over to my existing Apple account which I have for an iPad mini. How do I delete his contacts etc and install mine?
