Hey guys,

I'm new to iPhone, not unfamiliar with iTunes or iOS as I have an iPod Touch, and definitely computer literate.

I just got my iPhone 5, I asked everybody to text me so I could save their numbers.

From their text messages I clicked "Save Contact"....

Four contacts have saved to iCloud.com
The rest have saved to an email address!?

When I go to Contacts and then click Groups, it gives me these options:
1) Show All Contacts
2) Facebook: All Facebook
3) email@live.co.uk: All email@live.co.uk
4) iCloud: All iCloud.

I do not want all of my Facebook contacts in my contacts.

I only want the people's numbers that I choose to save.

If I turn off iCloud: All iCloud, those four contacts disappear from my Contacts.

If I turn off email@live.co.uk: All email@live.co.uk, all of my other contacts disappear (around thirty)....

I want those thirty contacts to be saved to my iCloud, not to my email address.

Can anybody tell me how to resolve this please?

One person has already advised me to create a .me account, and sync them all to that.

I do not want a .me email account.

All help is appreciated, thanks!

Anyone?

Managing it from the Contacts app only changes which groups are displayed at any time. It sounds like you have more than one account set up to manage contacts and you or it is getting confused a bit.

First off, if you don't want Facebook contacts at all, do this. Go to Settings > Facebook and switch Contacts to Off. (You can do the same for Calendar if you want to.)

Next, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and see what you have there. I have iCloud and Gmail but I only have Contacts active for iCloud.

If you go into iCloud settings and turn contacts off and choose to keep them on your phone, then turn it back on and merge with the contacts on your phoe it should put them all on iCloud.

Btw you can use any email account as your iCloud account, no need to make up a new email.

By the sounds of it your using your live email for iCloud (it's probably the sae one you use to buy apps and so forth)

Facebook integration has really screwed up contacts!

I thougt this at first too.

Then I found it it was really simple to sort out...

That removes people from contacts, but it doesn't remove people from my email prompts. Its totally messed up. Now when i type an email i get all these friends from school appear that i never ever email!

Luckily I'd read about this before iOS6 was made available, so I've never switched it on, despite several prompts.

This hasn't happened to me. I had Facebook contacts switched on and didn't like the email prompts because as you say, they're mostly people I would never email. I switched off Facebook contacts (from Settings rather than just stopping them being displayed in the Contacts app) and now I don't get unwanted prompts when I start typing names into the To box for emails.

I don't understand what's going on then.

Same here. If I go to Settings/Facebook and turn off the contacts toggle I no longer get Facebook suggested contacts when doing an email as this removes all the Facebook contacts from my contacts list. Not sure why yours doesn't do this.
Perhaps go to Settings/Facebook/your account and Delete the account and then set it up again with contacts turned off?

Geez. You waited 17 minutes before posting that? Have you ever considered that Mobile phones is a quiet forum compared to some and there are not people ready to answer at 11pm?

They also didn't reply to say if my fix worked

To be fair to the OP, there were actually originally some other posts in the thread, including between his first two, but they were OT troll flamebait
