Here is a problem that some people face and one that others don’t know that they face. Where am I saving my calendar and contacts? The phone, my gmail, hotmail…
Well, here is a quick way to set which one you want to use.
- Go to settings
- Click on Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
- Scroll down past the accounts section to the Mail Section. The last thing you see is Default Account setting. Select the Default Account you want to use for email.
- Press the Mail button at the top to return to the previous screen.
- Next scroll to the Contacts section.
- Choose the Default Account here as well. You will notice that this has a new option that email did not have, On My iPhone. I would never choose this option.
- Press the Mail button at the top to return to the previous screen.
- Next scroll to the Calendars section.
- Choose the Default Account here as well.
- Press the Mail button at the top to return to the previous screen.
- Next scroll to the Reminders section. This is new to iOS 5. Gmail does not have this feature, but Hotmail does.
- Choose the Default Account here as well.
- Press the Mail button at the top to return to the previous screen.
You are done.
Now, why would I never want to make my phone as the default for contacts. It is best if I tell a story:
I am washing my elephant one warm sunny day. I am up on the ladder when my iPhone falls to the bucket below containing the soapy water I am using to wash the elephant. If that is not enough, the elephant steps on the bucket of soapy water, oh and my iPhone, crushing everything.
Now all I have is a wet pieces of an iPhone and a clean elephant. What am I to do?
I ride my elephant to the local store that sells iPhones. I hand over my pieces of iPhone as a trade in on a new one (it would be cool if you could do that). The people selling me the phone as if I want them to transfer my contacts to the new phone for a price. I chuckle as I climb on my elephant and say “No thanks.”.
While riding my elephant home, I follow the steps above. Two minutes later, all my contacts, calendar items, reminders and emails are back.
Now I have to wash my elephant again, because he got dirty in the traffic. I hate traffic.
Storing your data in a seperate account means that your iPhone is a client. It is just getting the data from somewhere else. Kind of like the guide on your cable box.

When I do this, (the second part-choosing the default for contacts) one of my accounts doesn’t even show up! I cannot choose it if it isn’t there! Any ideas?
I do. Go to the account under Mail, Contacts and Calendar. Click on the Account. Make sure you have the Contacts set to On.
If this does not fix it, let me know.
