2 devices, "contacts" "my info" question

I have an iPad and wife has iPhone. We are using one iCloud account to share contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... And then separate sub accounts on iCloud for email only. The problem is under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Contacts>My Info>?
I put my name on my iPad, and it says my name on her iPhone. I try switching it to her name on her iPhone and it switches to her name on my iPad.
Is this a Bug?
Can't seem to get it to stick.

No bug, since you are both using the same Apple ID to sync the same Contacts list you can only have one person set for My Info. The "Me" tag is save in contacts therefore syncs to the other devices. You should set Contacts to your individual accounts.

    If it's happening on multiple devices the only thing I could suggest is a downgrade to 10.2.1 if the issue becomes too bothersome. Make sure to do a backup before downgrading as you will lose all information.

  • J2me displaying device contacts asks permission

    In my J2ME application, I read device contacts and display them on the screen. But it asks for permission many times. Signing the application with certificate such as Verisign reducing the number of the asking. But I want to reduce it without signing. Also I want to disable this asking process, If possible. How can I do it?
    Or Is it because of the Operating system of the device and can't be disabled? What is the scret behind it?
    Can anyone answer this question?
    Thanks.

    You mean, without signing, Reducing the number is impossible, too. I want to ask why impossible? I want to learn the reason behind that permission requests? why not only once? for just reading device contacts. Why does it ask 3 or 4 times the same permission?

  • First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.

    Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

    Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

  • Nokia Lumia 800 device Contact Sync with MSN Live

    How does the sync from device to MSN live work in the Nokia Lumia phone?
    If you purchase a Nokia Lumia, and the dealer synchs your old mobile phone contacts to Nokia Lumia using the contact transfer. In this process you have lots of stale contact which you don't want to retain. Now Lumia doesn't have pc connectivity software like earlier PC Suite or Ovi suite. these were the wonderful piece of sw, and you could update your contact, store on the outlook, and transfer then to and from the device.
    But with Lumia you are at fix now. the only way currently appears to be deleting one by one from device.
    There is a MSN account, and if you have a data connectivity then you can synch your contacts to your live account. Now you have the backup of the contacts in the server, which fortunately can be imported and exported from/to and excel.
    I thought of using this for the bulk update of contacts, and the technical support team says, that if you delete the contact from the server, while switching your data connectivity from mobile, and then put it on, the new state will be, the device contacts will come to server, and the server contacts will go to the device. which means the contacts will get swapped. I somehow couldn't believe in this definition of synching, and I believe, the synching will then keep the sum of the two contacts in both the location, which means the server will be again full. and so will be the device.
    Can anybody tell how does the synching works for Lumia with Live account? so that I can update my contact list on bulk?
    I also request Nokia to provide a local piece of sw like PC Suite for the Lumia device, this will increase the sale significantly.  
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You wont have 600 contacts in Hotmail server because you deleted them, and when you delete even one contact in Hotmail then it gets deleted from NLM because I tried it just now.  I deleted one contact a supermarket number when the phone was switched on and another contact with the phone switched off.  When I switched on the phone the contact disappeared from the phone.
    So from this we know that if you delete all of your contacts on your Hotmail then your Nokia Lumia contacts will all be deleted from Nokia Lumia too, apart from the Facebook and Twitter contacts in the People window.
    In Microsoft Outlook you can select a whole range very easily and export to .CSV format to upload to Hotmail, if you have Microsoft Outlook I think this is the most powerful and effective way but needs a few steps to do it depending on which version of Outlook you have.
    For Microsoft Outlook 2007 and 2010, edit all of your contacts then go to the "File" menu, then click on "Options", then click on the "Advanced" button on the left side of the window that pops up.  After that move to the "Export" section on the right of the screen and click the Export button.
    Now a menu opens.  You choose "Export to a file", then choose "Comma Seperated Values (Windows)", then choose the "Contacts" folder from the list that opens after that.  You will be shown a box to name and save the file that Outlook is about to make. 
    When you save the file remember where it is, then go to Hotmail and look for the "Manage" button above the list of contacts, when you find the button click it and choose "Import" from the menu that opens up.
    After that you will be taken to a different page, look for the words "Add people from other services" and underneath that is a list of pictures and one of those pictures has the word "Outlook" next to it.  Click on the word "Outlook".  Then you will be taken to a new webpage.
    When you reach the new webpage make sure you look at the words on that webpage called "Step 2" and make sure there is a green dot beside the words "Microsoft Outlook (using CSV)".  Now go to the words called "Step 3" and you will see a button called "Browse".  Click on the "Browse" button and then a box will open up asking you to find the file you exported from Microsoft Outlook, which I explained how to do earlier.
    You can also use this process to export calendar from Microsoft Outlook to Hotmail, which will then sync the calendar on your Lumia phone too.

  • I use Gmail as my main contact/email - info gets corrupted in iCloud

    I have a realitive noob to this - we use Macs at my office but I have never owned a Mac until I bought a mid 2011 Macbook Pro from my IT guy at work. He maxed it out with RAM, etc so it suns sweetl Well I am now a Mac addict with a 1st gen iPad mini and also a 5S (stood in line it the day it came out).  I have only one apple ID which I use with all three devices and when I make changes in my gmail online book it doesn't automagically work.  I have also noticed that I when I enter contacts on iCloud it doesn't necessarily show up in my Gmail addresss
    Obviously, this makes me a sad panda and I need the situatioin rectfied since a lot of this is medical related to my disorder and I need the info alwaysl
    So, any response you can give me will be much appreciatedl
    Thanks,

    P.S. Sorry if the spelling is atrocious - I broke my ankle two days ago and I am on a LOT of good drugs right now to help with the pain.  
    P.P.S. I also have a SERIOUS problem with my Photostream/iPhoto/whole photo deal where I am *this* close to busting a cap in the *** of all Mac products and going back to Androids.

    Thanks for the initial question - I will attempt to move the other stuff when I am not on medication and let you know how it works.
    Ok - the photostream/iPhoto issue:
    From the albums view on my iPhone I have the followingL
    Camera Roll
    My Photo Stream
    Panoramas
    Videos
    Events from my Mac - which if I go under this folder, I have all sorts of crap that have things like "resources" and images of file icons (we're talking like Windows 98 gifs), plus albums of the other albums listed below in addition to ones that I are missing from the original list.
    Last 12 months (from my Mac) which has 1249 photos
    Last import from my Mac (has 10 photos)
    My son's recovery from my Mac (has 54 photo)
    Pics of me from my mac (has 6 photos
    My sister's wedding from my Mac (176 photos)
    Pics of my kids from my Mac (6 photos)
    Dude's First Hike from my Mac (1 photo; there were originally 30+ photos in that album)
    USMC Ball 2013 from my Mac (16 photos)
    Caps Season Ticket Holder Party from my Mac (9 photos; originally had about 40)
    Funny pics 14 photos
    Macklemore Concert from my Mac (7 photos; originally were about 35)
    Dustin Lynch Concert from my Mac (83 photos; there were originally about 150 photos)
    Pink Concert from my Mac - 108 photos
    THanksgiving 2013 from my Mac (1 photo - originally had about 17 photos)
    My son comes home from my Mac (17 photos - that's about right)
    Sports Hotties from my Mac (3 photos - that's right)
    My son's MCT graduation from my Mac (7 photos; correct)
    NYE 2012  - 2013 from my Mac (4 photos; correct)
    Receipts for my son from my Mac (12 photos; correct)
    My son's promotion from my Mac (10 photos; correct)
    Kem concert from my Mac (8 photos; correct)
    Christmas and New Year's 2013 - 17 photos
    Then it keeps telling me it's synching repeatedly and never stops.
    When I go in to iPhoto on the Macbook to move photos, there are oftentimes duplicates of photos - often 3 to 4 of the same photo.  It won't allow me to drag or drop photos into proper albums except very rarely - there's no rhyme or reason.
    I'm not sure what to do. Everything is backed up and it seems like with every back up, it gets more and more screwed up. 
    Also, if I delete some of the photos, thinking that I deleted it from just the trashcan in iPhoto it turned out that I deleted them from my Facebook albums as well.
    So, at this point I am ready to throw the computer and I need to know what to do about getting these pics out of iPhoto, put in folders outside of iPhoto, and working with another program that will allow me to share them with Facebook, friends, etc.
    Thanks again for your above help and I'll let you know how that works,
    Aichessgee
