My utilization of my iPhone SE is that I by no means sync to the cloud as a result of I hold non-public inforamtion in my Contacts. As a substitute, I sync my Contacts over house Wi-Fi, and it will get synced with an Alternate Server [1].
I’ve by no means used, created, or manipulated Contact Teams on my iPhone, but I now appear to have two variations of my Contacts. Particularly, I’ve the next Contact Teams:
- All iPhone
- iPhone International Tackle Checklist
- All AkrutoSync Alternate
- AkrutoSync Alternate International Tackle Checklist
I can solely allow #1 and #3. If I attempt to allow #2 or #4, I’m proven an empty contact record. The disparate variations of my contacts are in #1 and #3. There are too many contacts and particulars to see the place the distinction lie, however I do know that some Contacts that I not too long ago created on my iPhone present up in #1. Nevertheless, I take into account #3 to be the principle Contacts since it’s synced with my laptop computer.
With out utilizing the cloud, is there any solution to migrate particular person contacts from #1 to #3, apart from manually copying particulars onto a bit of paper and disabling #1, enabling #3, and typing the main points in once more?
I can allow each #1 and #3, however then I get many duplicate Contacts and it is laborious to inform which Contacts are from which Teams (if there’s a solution to decide this, I would admire figuring out). The duplicates may very well be near-duplicates, and I do not take into account it possible to manually work out the place all of the variations lie. I’m solely all in favour of conserving #3 and migrating Contacts that exist solely in #1 to #3.
As soon as I’ve up to date #3, is there any solution to “blow away” #1 Contacts and be sure that #1 isn’t enabled once more?
On a associated word, how can I be sure that #3 is the Group during which new contacts are created? If I presently create a brand new contact, it leads to #1. If I am going to Settings -> Contacts, there isn’t a area for designating a “default” Group. Neither is there such a “default” area in Settings -> Contacts -> Accounts.
NOTES
[1] The server is definitely the AkrutoSync Alternate interface to the Outlook desktop app on my laptop computer.
