How can i remove contacts from my devices

I have installed the new Mountain Lion OSX on my mac and open the Cloud with my apple ID, this ID is also linked to 3 of our families iPhone 4's, and since we have done this, my wife's iphone has all my work contacts on it.
also,
I have started using the new "messages" app that comes with Lion on our Mac, since doing this all our devices (iphones) are sending and recieving the same messages when we message each other.
how can i manage these two issues please?
regards Colin R.

thank you very much, that makes sense to me now.. so as i understand it now, i can set up an additional id for the ocloud, but still maintain the itunes account that we all use and want to keep sharing so we can sinc our itunes etc.
if this is correct how do i set up a new (additional) ID for the ICload for our phones? i may do this to mine, as my wife needs to share the icloud with our home mac and her iphone and ipad when she gets one (travels alot)
many thanks..

  • My iMessage is connected to an itouch that I no longer have. How can I remove it from that device and add it to my iphone?

    Previously, my iMessage was connected to an itouch which I no longer have. How do I add my iMessage account to my iphone when the system tells me it is already in use?

    The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
    You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.

    After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account.

    How can I transfer contacts from htc wildfire to iPhone 4?

        Hello ugadawgs79,
    I know how important it is to have access to your contacts! I'm glad you have successfully backed up your contacts to Backup Assistant. Now, let's get these contacts moved over to your iPhone!
    To start, we will remove VZ Contact Transfer from your iPhone 4. http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39865
    Next, let's power your phone off; then back on.
    Once the phone is back on, be sure that Wifi is turned off. The VZ Contact Transfer application must be performed over the Verizon Wireless data network and not a WiFi network.
    reinstall the VZ Contact Transfer application and follow this guide: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39928
    Keep us posted. We're here to help.

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.

  • How can I remove something from my iTunes download list permanently?

    Same as title: how can I remove something from my download list FOREVA! Why would I want to do this? Because it's a piece of poo free sampler from Best Buy that is effing huge, and terrible and I don't want it, ever (it's been stuck to my list since 08, and it must die). Every time I buy something I have to remember to go and remove that from my list, otherwise iTunes gets caught up downloading that thing, which is many times larger than any video/cd/app that I have ever downloaded on iTunes before. It wouldn't be as much an issue if I had a good ISP but I don't, so any non-apple employee people giving some smarmy "get better internets" advice need not apply.

    Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

  • How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

    Hi All,
    I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
    I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • Remove Contacts from all Devices and PCs

    Hi:
    I'm an old Skype user and i have never been in the need of removing contacts since i had to remove one two weeks ago.
    I did the "remove contact" from Skype for iPad... Then i logged in with skype for mac and everything ok, the contact was not showing in my list. But today, my Android Skype logged in accidentaly and it had an old contact list because it has been offline for weeks. When i checked the contacts, it showed the contact that i removed two weeks ago as "pending request", and then when i checked it in Skype for Mac it appeared again as "pending request".
    My question is:
    Is Skype sending a request to a contact that i removed when i sign in from a device that was not connected when i performed the removal?
    Do this contact receive any kind of contact request when that happens? or is it only a sync problem between devices?
    I'm concerned because i don't want to seem sending a request every time i sign in from a device that was not connected when i actually removed that contact for privacy reasons.
    Regards!

    All Contacts is exactly what it says, all of your contacts. You can't remove contacts from that group.

  • HT1390 How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini?  I have asked I tunes and nothing works.  They sent me here

    How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini??  I have asked the itunes store and they cannot help.  They will not dissappear and I can`t load anymore. And one of them is just a grey box...

    I'd defiantly try a factory reset first to see how things look afterwards.
    Its safe to say IOS8 is buggy for me and I'm sure Apple will fix many of the issues soon. The main problems I have experienced to date on a factory reset iPad Mini are as follows:
    General system slow down.
    Safari is very slow to render web pages, this could be WIFI related.
    The keyboard seems slow to respond especially within Safari.
    I opened a new email earlier this morning and it caused the iPad to auto reboot. Thats a first for me on an Apple device.
    The ability to make / receive a call on your iPad always seems to fail for me. My iPad will ring when a call is received I will answer but it will immediately fail to connect. The same happens on outgoing calls.
    Battery life on first impressions seems to have suffered since the upgrade.
    Role on IOS 8.0.1...
