iCloud and other services

iCloud and other services

In order to edit contacts in your iCloud account, turn off the iCloud synchronization in iPhone Settings and choose "keep in the phone". Contacts from iCloud will be copied into your iPhone's internal memory, so you will be able to edit them using MOBILedit.

Then just turn the iCloud synchronization back on and the data will sync back into your iCloud account.


When the iCloud synchronization is on, MOBILedit is not able to read data from the iCloud account and will retrieve contacts stored in the iPhone's memory only.


Sometimes iPhone doesn´t turn off iCloud synchronization and you have to reboot your device manually first.

 

The same also applies for other services like exchange or google contacts.
