My daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone?

my daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone and I have her contacts in my iphone I need my contacts back!!

If you are sharing the same iCloud account your data will be merged.  Then if she deleted your contacts from her device, they would have been deleted from yours too.
The first thing to do is migrate your daughter's iPod to her own iCloud account (you can continue to share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud).  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once she is on her own account, you may be able to recover your contacts from your iCloud backup by following these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

    I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts.  Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

    Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss".  I suggest using iCloud in the future.

  • I deleted one of the email accounts from my i5 because I don't like all the password popups since upgradingto ios 7.2, and now ALL calendar entries are gone!  I need them!!!  Can anyone help?

    Well you need to add the email account back to get the calendar entries. Transfer them to another email provider.  Then delete the account you don't want.

  • I just bought a second iPhone for my business... I used my existing apple account and now all my texts are coming to both phones.. How do I get a secondary apple ID and change it on my business phone?

    I used my existing apple ID when I purchased a second iPhone for my business.. Now all my texts are coming to both phones.. Is there a way to create a new apple account for my business phone and if so.. How do I delete one and add another?

    Yes, you can have two separate Apple IDs, and it's pretty easy to set this up. Go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your business phone. You should see your current Apple ID. Tap on it, then tap on sign out. You can then create a new Apple ID, using a different email address and password than those associated with the Apple ID on your other phone. Log back in using this new information, and you shouldn't get the texts that come to your other phone.
    Hope this helped!

  • I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all my bookmarks are gone.

    I recently began using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on a Windows 7 platform. I got some sort of an error message (I think from Xmarks) regarding "Bookmarks". I clicked on the message to fix the problem and zapp all my bookmarks were gone. I found my "bookmarksbackup" profile file. but can't get it to open. I suppose that I need a JSON viewer. I downloaded a opensource viewer that looked good, but still don't get anything that remotely resembles my old bookmarks. I thought that I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my own ignorance.

    hello pianonanda65, please refer to [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]

  • I had duplicated contacts on my old iPhone.  Went with Lion and iCloud, and the duplicates were gone.  New iPhone yesterday and now all my contacts are duplicated again.  How do I resolve?

    When I first signed up with iCloud (and still had Mobile Me), my contacts all double or tripled, or more in my contact list.  When I went with Lion and fully integrated iCloud, that issue resolved itself.  I got a new iPhone yesterday, and when it was up and running, everything was fine.  This morning, I notice that my contacts are all duplicated again.  My personal contact is in my phone 10 times.  How do I resolve this?  My iTunes sync setting does not have me syning my contacts, it should just be in iCloud.  Thanks for any help.

  • I synced my Iphone 4 with my sisters Itunes and now all my photos are gone? how do I get them back?

    I went to save photos from my iphone 4 onto my sisters mac and they wouldnt upload and when I disconnected my phone I had her photos on my phone and over 2000 of my photos are gone.. please help!

    " but the mac didnt allow them because of some apps on my phone s"
    What does this mean?
    How did you try to import those pics?
    You import pics from iphone just as you would from any digital camera.  They are not part of the sync process at all.
    I am trying to figure out what exactly you did.
    Bottom line is that the pics are gone unless you have a backup of your iphone on your computer from a time when the pics were on the iphone.
    In the future you should be importing your pics to your computer regularly.

  • Updated iPod touch and now all the songs are gone.

    So I decided to update my iPod touch to iOS 5, and it took a good 13 hours for it to "back up." So I let it happen and I set it up and all again, and I turn it on and everything is gone. So I go to iCloud and back up on my device and all my apps and pictures came back. However, my music was still gone. But when I plug my iPod in and go to iTunes, ALL of my music is in the music tab under my device, and it all plays perfectly! So pretty much, all my music is shown on iTunes under my device, yet no music is on my actual device. I'm in a dilemma because I don't have all the music I had on my iPod in my iTunes library. Also, when I try to add songs to my iPod, it's not working at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Non-iTunes purchased media is not included in your iCloud backup and no synced media like apps and music are in a backup that iTunes makes on your computer. If you subscribed to iTunes Match you can get those back through Match.

  • I accidently unplugged my iPod before ejecting it and now all my music is gone. Although it says that there is used space. I have music on a few different computers and not all backed up on one computer. Help! How do I get my music back?

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    I synced my daughters ipod touch with my apple account and now all of her contacts are on my iphone and my contacts are gone. What happened???

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • I took my daughter's new Iphone 5 to shop and they replaced it with a new one.  Today she logged on to my ICloud account and deleted all my contacts and just kept the ones she wanted.  Can I retrieve my contacts, please help

    My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account.  She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning.  Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?

    No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/

  • 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?

    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.

  • HT201628 My girlfriend accidentally rebooted her iPod during an update, and now it won't boot. How can this possibly be fixed?? She says the OS has been wiped. You know how to fix this??

    My girlfriend believes she's wiped out the OS on her iPod 4th generation  she said she did this by accidentally rebooting her iPod during an update, and now her iPod just shows the apple logo then fades to white. My question is, can this be fixed? Or is a new iPod necessary??

    If you live near an Apple store take it in for diagnosis. Don't forget to make an appointment online first. If you don't live near a store, you may get help by searching "youtube" for DFU Restore ipod. This is not difficult to do but it requires proper timing to get the device into DFU mode.

  • I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
    If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.
