Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue.... 
so yes,  the solution was to  each log  into the mac separately.
i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id)   - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together -

  • I have an iPhone 4S and I cannot get the iMessage feature to work.  I've done the fix that was online and it still won't work.

    I need help getting the iMessage feature to work.  I've done the fix that is shown online several times and still cannot get it to work.  Are there any other suggestions out there to fix this problem?

    HI,
    What was "the Fix" ?
    Where was it On Line ?
    So your iPhone is on a Wifi network ?
    You have gone to Settings > Messages and Enabled Messages.
    You cannot then send iMessages  from your iPhone Number ?
    You should be able to sent to other iOS devices that are using other iPhone Numbers or Apple IDs or to Macs that are running Messages with the iMessages account enabled and those may also be using iPhone Numbers or Apple IDs depending how they were set up.
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages you can then add an Apple ID
    You can then chose to Send from the Apple ID or iPhone number as the Start from option.
    Adding the Apple ID links the Apple ID and iPhone Number and if you have a Mac, and are running Messages with the same ID, they will sync (Display on all Devices) all the subsequent iMessages you receive.

    Help! I have an iPhone 4 and when I tap the "messages" thumbnail I'm not able to see a list of my text message threads.

    I contacted Verizon (my phone's carrier) and they told me to simultaneously press the on/off button and the menu button. That rebooting fixed the problem, but will I have to do this all the time? Wonderinf if I should take the phone back to the Apple store and get a new one. I've had the phone about two weeks.

  • I have an Iphone 5 and want to organize all my contacts on line vs on the phone, how can I do that.

    1) I have an Iphone 5 and want to organize all my contacts /emails on line vs on the phone, how can I do that?  It seems somehow I have about 10 listings for one person - I think some came when I hit facebook to sync - which was a mistake I dont want to share my contacts.
    Also easier to type in new addresses on an computer vs the Iphone.
    2) I have a book on my itunes from my Ipad that is not downloaded to my Iphone.
    3) My Itunes identity on is saying it is my Ipod, how can I have it seperate for Iphone, Ipad and Ipod in Itunes?
    Thank you!!

    I went into the cloud on phone it was on. Turned off and back on. Now i have 6 of one contactDeleted face books also incase that was the issue.  I went to Itunes and couldnt find contacts - now I wonder it is is my outlook email too adding information as I am seeing contacts that are only on my outlook emails.

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

  • Hi! I have an iPhone 4s and when I FaceTime the sound is really low. When I phone call someone, its totally different and works better. I also have a MacBok Pro and the FaceTime sound works perfectly there as well. Can someone pls help me? Thanks :)

    This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
    Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume)  or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

    Unfortunately you can't go back to ios6. Please write to apple - http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I also think ios7 makes the iphone look like a samsung. Pure Ugly.

  • I have a Iphone 4s and a ipad mini. the ipad mini recently got water damage, tried the rice trick...nothing. I have apple care plus on my iPhone, does that work on my ipad too? if so that would be great bc  defintally can't afford a new one ,lol

    Welcome to the boards.
    First, what kind of liquid was it, and was it fully submersed?  For how long?  Do you see water droplets or moisture behind the screen?  How long did you leave it in rice for?  Etc.  More data please.
    And the short answer is no, apple care does not extend from your iPhone to your iPad mini.  Both items require separate Apple Care plans to be covered.  Furthermore, I don't think water damage is covered under Apple Care.  Only manufacturing defects.
    If you bought it on a Credit Card, you may be lucky enough to call them and ask them if they have a replacement program as a benefit for being a card holder.  I believe AMEX has one on their Platinum cards, and worse case scenario, you can always try to file a claim with your home insurance or renters insurance  (check your policy).  Just beware, if you go the Insurance route in filing a claim, you might have your premium go up in the next cycle. 
    It's a double edged sword, I'm sorry.

  • I have an iphone 4 and do not appear the weather in central notification ios7. how can I fix this?

    I have an iphone 4 and do not appear the weather in central notification ios7. how can I fix this?

    I figured it out.  You have to have location services turned on specifically for the native weather app.  My husband already did and that's why his was working.  In the previous ios, I chose to disable location services to save battery and had the widget set to show weather for my home city regardless of where I was.  Now that doesn't appear to be an option.  Hopefully it won't drain my battery too much.

  • I have an iphone 3GS and suddenly am getting a "storage almost full message" even though I have 1.4 GB of free space. Now I cannot text.  How do I trouble shoot this?

    I have an iphone 3GS and suddenly am getting a "storage almost full message" even though I have 1.4 GB of free space. Now I cannot text.  How do I trouble shoot this? I recently upgraded to version 6.1.3 if that helps.

    When you sync using iTunes on your computer, do you see a lot of "Other" at the bottom of the iTunes Summary Page for your iPhone?  If you do, try a "Restore iPhone ...".  That should help.
    Hopefully that would do it for you.  If not, the next (more drastic) step would be to restore again as above, but choose "Restore as New" and then manually sync.  Omit any apps that might be suspcious in their space use (primarily Game Center apps).
