I have 5 iphones on one account and all contacts have merged together after the update

I have 5 iPhones and they are all on the family plan, so we all use the same account and now all of our contacts have merged together after the update to ios5. What do I do?

your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

Use iCloud to keep them in sync.
Do you have an iCloud account?

Updated my iphone 3gs last night and all contact info is gone. Messages, notes and all other sections are intact----just no contact info.

You can resync your contact via Itunes, just go to the contact tabs and check to sync.

My user account and password won't be deleted after the 10.6.7 update?

hi,
i want to know if i can keep my account and password. i already know i need a backup, but, i can't update with this pending.
please, help me. i don't want to be bored all the time with this old system.

Everything should be left intact after the update.....repair (Permissions) via the Disk Utlity before and after the update..
It is always a good idea to back up your data before doing any kind of system update....these folks are excellent in service and support for what they sell...

It is comforting knowing that you have a complete back up when updating....or for any other reason

What GOOD or NEW things have you noticed after the update?

What good things have you noticed since the update that were not mentioned in the update video?
One or two of these may have been already there, I might just be taking a closer look.
Faster screen switching in Phone mode
Ability to specify ports in email settings
Slightly smoother scrolling in Contacts

More ways to spend money on iTunes. Nothing else. Guess we'll have to wait till OS 10.5 for possible inclusion of any real useful features.

Setting Find iPhone for one account and find Friends for another

Hi
Just updated one iPhone 5 to 8.1.1. Previously I had find my iPhone for one .me account (I keep all the family devices under this .me account).
For the Find Friends app I had used a second .me account so I could locate the phone.
I can't recall how I configured this previously. It seems settings wants to keep me locked on one account, not two.
Thanks

If you want to keep everything in sync, you need to set up your mail using IMAP. I'm not familiar with Sky as to whether they offer an IMAP option or its just pop, you'll have to check with them. If they don't offer an IMAP option, you can get a gmail account, set that up as IMAP and then forward your Sky emails to your gmail account.

If it was unlocked by anyone other than the carrier it was originally locked to, it was hacked. You can not get help for your hacked phone here.

Need urgent help on iOS 8 for iPhone 4S. I am unable to start my device after the update

Friends,
I wanted to upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone 4S. I was not connected to iTunes. Clicked install while I was on a WiFi connection.
Post that I tried restarting and it is showing a pictorial diagram asking me to connect to iTunes.
I connected to iTunes and now it is asking me to restore. After going ahead with restore it is saying device can't be found.
I am really worried. Can anybody help me here.
Thank you.

Hey Amol B,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues updating/restoring your iPhone. Let’s try forcing the device intro recovery mode once more:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If your device is not recognized while in recovery mode, see the following resource (specifically Step 5, sub step “If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode”):

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled. I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

I have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting

you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

I have a nano, 2 ipods, ipad, and ipad2. I want to have just one account and one itunes. I would like to combine all of them and not have to have all different accounts, is there a way to do this. I

I would like to have just one itunes account. Is there anyway to do that? Right now I have too many accounts and all on different computers. I would like to combine them and just have one place for all my music, books, movies and games. I would need a step by step easy to understand method. Help!!! One Library to rule them all. Lol

I see what your problem is. You are physically connected the devices. It would be better if the information was in iCloud. Then they all would sync instantly.
