How to change 2 phones from synching to the same icloud for seperate users

My husband has an iphone 4 and I have the 4s. For some reaseon when he set the phones up, all of our information is backed up to the same icloud account, even though we both have seperate apple id's. Anytime we plug our phone(s) into the computer, the apps for his phone download to mine and vice versa. I keep getting a message that there is not enough storage for the icloud backup on my phoneand I know it is because both of our phones are synching to the same icloud account. How can I correct this?

it's possible that you're not actually using two seperate Apple ID's, but still use different emailaddresses to log in, meaning it's an alias for the same apple ID instead of seperate Apple ID's.
Go to appleid.apple.com and log in there. You'll see a primary emailaddress, wich is either yours or your husbands.
If you then scroll down, you'll see alternate emailaddresses, wich again, will contain either your or your husbands emailaddress.
If this is the case:
Remove the alternate emailaddress from that account and create a totally new Apple ID with the emailaddress you removed.
Although this is possible, i't not very likely. Are you getting his contacts/calendars and stuff too  on your device ??
Apps can be synced to your device, regardless of icloud account settings btw...

  • TS4147 I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users.  We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

    I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users.  We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

    You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account.  If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account.  (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
    To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.  You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
    Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On.  You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account.

  • How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

    I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

    Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

  • Please could someone tell me how to change stores from Canada to the U.k store

    Please could someone tell me how to change stores from the Canadian store to the U.K Apple store on my I pod touch ?

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPhone, and sign into your account again.
    Note that you will need an account in the UK iTunes Store to use it.

  • How do I backup 2 iPhones to the same iCloud account?

    How do I back up 2 different iPhones to the same iCloud backup?

    It is not true that they get merged. . I have three iPhones and one iPad backed up up to the same iCloud account. Each device has its own backup.

  • How to force SQL*Loader to assign the same SYSDATE for all rows?

    I want to use SQL*Loader to load some rows and a "SYSDATE" generated column, but making sure this date is THE SAME for all rows. I have seen that if I load HUNDREDS of rows there is a little difference between them (in terms of seconds). I guess it is "the moment each row entered the DB", but I need the same value for all rows (preferably, "the moment SQL*Loader was launched"). Is there any way to achieve this?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello user2393320.
    Given some thought, using a date value to identify all records from a single load isn't very wise.
    Are you able to create a procedure on the database that could be executed during SQL*Loader's execution? If so, you could develop the procedure to take in the record number of the row being loaded as an input parameter and output this unique date value for all rows loaded. The procedure would need to store the date value in a table when the first row is being loaded and return the stored date value as its output. This obviously assumes that only one sqlldr session is running at any time.
    I highly recommend using a numeric sequence in the control file instead of a date to identify each file load:
    , file_load_seq SEQUENCE(MAX, 1)
    Another approach would be to load the record number being loaded in addition to the sysdate:
    , record_number RECNUM
    Hope this helps,
    Luke

  • How many devices can be added to the same iCloud account?

    Hello
    I would like to know the maximum number of mobile devices than can be used with the same iCloud account?
    All devices are running with iOS 8.1.2

    Hi Emilie87,
    It sounds like what you are asking is addressed in this article.
    Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
    When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    After you associate a device with your Apple ID, you can't associate that device with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • We use our Iphones with the icloud to set up scheduling of jobs. Multiple phones share the same icloud for this purpose. We recently had a change in leadership. How do I completely delete the icloud account? Or do I just create a new one/forget old 1

    Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?

    Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

  • How to Change Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User

    Hi,
    In a webdynpro applicaiton, how to chage the  Date Format according to the Locale/Country of Portal User.
    Consider for INDIA: mm/dd/yyyy
    Consider for UK: yyyy/mm/dd
    So when i select the date from the Date Picker[input ui element bound to date context variable], the date format should be displayed accroding the portal users country/locale.
    Creating a simple type for every date format in the dictionary would not be the right solution.
    Please help.

  • Can I get my wife and my phones to synch to the same iMac, but have different address books - when synching we keep ending up with all the contacts on both phones...

    Can I synch 2 phones to the same iMac, but have different address books?

    If you and your wife have separate user accounts on the Mac, then each of you will have separate libraries to sync. You can them maintain separate address books, calendars, apps, etc.

  • HT4527 I would like to transfer music from iTunes on the same computer (two different users). Can I do that with home sharing? If so, how?

    I see many discussion about transferring between two different computers but not one with just one computer. My husband and I use one Macbook, have two iTunes accounts and want to share some recently imported music.

    many thanks.
    Actually, Home Sharing should work in your situation, because iTunes for Mac supports Fast User Switching. (You're better off in this regard than us over here on the iTunes for Windows side.)
    The basic trick is that iTunes has to be open in both user accounts at once. Set Home Sharing up in your husband's account. Now switch over to your account, launch iTunes and set up home sharing there. You should be able to see his library now. Transferring from his library is now as per the standard instructions for Home Sharing transfers.

  • How many calendars can you share with the same iCloud person?

    OK Apple people, here is my concern:
    I have several calendars in my iCal app.  I can share one (home) with my wife but for some reason, I am not able to add her to another calendar that I wish for her to  view/edit (work).  She does have an iCloud account.  The documentation on the Apple web site for iCloud states:  " You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. Sharing gives you flexibility in managing calendars. For example, you could create a calendar for your child’s sports team and share it privately with just the coaches so they can edit it. You could also share it publicly with all the parents so they can view (but not change) it whenever they want."
    Is there a limit to just how many calendars in the application that one one can send as suggested by the "a"?
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

    All my family devices are tied to one Apple ID.  We did that b/c we would consolidate our purchases by syncing via 1 Mac in the house.  So any device could purchase an app/music/whatever, then we would plug it into the main Mac and transfer the purchase to that and then plug in other devices and add to them.  Pain the rear!  I think my example of tedious process above is one reason for iCloud.  So, now with iCloud we should be able to purchase from any device and the other devices would have access without wires.   I thought the only way to tie them all together is if they are all under the same AppleID.  That is how iCloud knows they are related, right?  Makes sense to me.   However, on each device, we use their own @me/@mac email account to setup iCloud b/c each email is tied to that family member but under the master Apple ID for our family.  Each email account has their own contacts, emails, etc.  I thought that was the way to setup.  Shouldn’t this work?  Kind of separate but yet tied together via the 1 Apple ID.  Thoughts?

  • How to fill an 8x10 page with the same image for making buttons?

    How do you make a button template using the grid?  How do you import the image onto that, and how do you fill an entire page with the same image ie-  1" circles

    I'm trying to do the same thing but I want 1" squares.  I just upgraded from Elements 6 and I did this
    quite often for pendant necklaces.  I used to go and print individual prints, but the previous options are not there.  ;(
    And the picture package is only showing 20 (2x2) as being the smallest size.  I don't see a custom button.
    Can anyone tell me how to do this?  We're doing these for a fundraiser and I can't even print anymore.
    Thanks,

  • How do I purchase multiple copies of the same title for my class of students to download?

    I need to purchase 60+ copies of the same title to use in my classroom. Normally my school purchases paperback copies of books, but now that I all of my students have iPads, I would like to purchase the eBook and then have them download it. Any ideas on how best to do this?

    What version of iPhoto?
    The general process is to select the photo and print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize and under settings selec multiples copies of a photo (the preview will reflect this choice) and click print to print, make any printer specific selections and click print to print
