1 Apple ID, 2 iCloud accounts. Why are they syncing across different iPhone 4's?

My sister and I both have the iPhone 4 from Verizon. Recently, I made an iCloud account with a .me address, then she made a separate one. Once she made hers, our contacts and reminders have merged to both of our phones. I can't figure out how to stop that. I don't think it should happen since there are 2 separate iCloud accounts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am having similar problem. I think I know how it happens but not easy to fix.
"Apple ID" account is different than iCloud account, but when setting up new phone, everything asks for 'apple ID' although you can use icloud or apple ID. Apple ID is typical for itunes store. if one user for both, it's ok to use both. but for multiple users this is the problem.
my problem is I set up my husband's iphone and set him up on my itunes account (accident), so it merged my contacts into his contacts because I put my apple id in there. I created an icloud email for him to try to fix it but it links this email account now to my apple id still. and when I created an icloud me.com account for him, it didn't ask for a password.
trying to figure out how to create a separate icloud account for him to separate our contacts then only use apple id for apple store/itunes. ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS?

How do I transfer my music from my mac mini running mountain lion to iPad 2. I have ICloud running, why are they not automatically pushed to the ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I do it without deleting everything on the IPad2?

I have a new MacMini onto which I have installed music files. I want to transfer them to my IPad2 . I have ICloud working properly, or so I thought, so why are these files not appearing on my Ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I sync without erasing what is already on the IPad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the procedure for syncing music to the iPad.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
iCloud does not transfer the music on the Mac to the iPad unless you download it again on the iPad. iTunes Match may be what you are thinking of and you have to subscribe to that feature for a fee.
You have to sync the music that is already in your iTunes library to the iPad using iTunes. You can turn on Automatic Downloads on both devices for music and when you download music on one device it will download to the other device.
I get the feeling that you have never synced the iPad with iTunes before but you already have content on the iOad and are getting a message that the iPad will be erased if you sync with iTunes. If that is true, you need to transfer all iPad content into iTunes before you sync. This will help you with that.

Why are they songs on my iphone that are not on my itunes

Hi. Since ios7, my iphone 5 now has songs that i do not either own or have on my itunes on my Mac. I have never even bought some of thes songs. I cant even delete them off my device. These songs have 3 red dots next to them if that helps. This is driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hopefully you are signed in to the same Apple ID on iTunes on your Mac as you are on your iPhone. If not, get to this state.
On your Mac, go to the iTunes Store. Click the "Purchased" link on the right side. You should find and be able to download the song there.
For the future, go to iTunes > Preferences > Store from iTunes' menu and check the Automatic Downloads - Music box.

I have 1200 pics on camera roll and 900 on photo stream. 1. why are they different? 2. if all are supposedly backed up on iCloud if I delete all photos on my phone will they still be on iCloud or do I need to separately download them to my pc first?

Photos are only uploaded to iCloud after photo stream is enabled. It's possible that you already had 300 photos in your camera roll when you turn it on so they weren't uploaded. Also, photo stream also only maintains photos for 30 days, although earlier photos already streamed to your device from photo stream are not deleted. If you had turned photo stream off, then back on, and the 300 photos fell outside of this 30-day window at the time, they would not be in your photo stream album. (FYI, photo stream will also only save the last 1000 photos.)
If you delete the photos on your phone from the camera roll album, photo stream will be not be effected. If you delete them from the photo stream album on your phone, they will be deleted from your photo stream on your phone and any other devices connected to the same iCloud account/photo stream.
To keep your camera roll photos permanently, don't rely on photo stream as a backup. Import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

HT204150 Sharing the same iTunes, Apple ID and iCloud accounts.

Hi
My wife and I share the same Itunes , Apple Id and Icloud accounts.
How do we keep our contacts seperate, when we open up or back up on I cloud?
As we both have I phones, I would like to keep all my work contacts seperate from hers. Also I don't wish to have her contacts loaded on my phone and vice verser.
Will it mean the I will have to get a seperate apple ID and seperate Icloud account.
Problem is that all our music and photos are on the one Library, because we didn't have two Iphones before, it didn't matter.
We would like to keep the same Itunes library to access music and photos, but like to keep everything else seperate.
Can you please help.
Regards
shervhall

You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores (your iTunes account/library), but you need to have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs to prevent merged data such as contacts. (You aren't required to use the same ID for purchasing as you do for other services such as iCloud, iMesage, FaceTime, etc.) The only issue is that photo stream is tied to the iCloud account so when you separate your accounts, you will no longer be sharing the same photo stream. You can still send each other shared photo streams in order to share each other's photos, but they wouldn't be part of the same photo stream.
To separate your iCloud accounts, on the device that will be changing accounts, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the device. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your device.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The device that will be keeping the existing account will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this device using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the other wife's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
To avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls you also need to use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime. To change the ID for iMessage on one of the devices, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a separate ID (such as the new iCloud ID). To change the ID for FaceTime on this device, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account?

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account? I currently have an iPad mini, iPhone 5, and MacBook pro attached to my apple accounts, but I want only my iPhone 5 to be assosiated with either one. Whenever I use any of the three devices, I get a notification on the other two telling me that these devices are now using these accounts from these services, etc. and I want these notifications to stop, along with the devices using to them. How do I do this? I completely reset the iPad mini so I don't know how I'm still getting notifications from it, and I deleted and signed of of all of my accounts everywhere I could find on my Mac. So, to restate exactly what I want to do, I want ONLY my iPhone 5 to use ANY of my Apple/iCloud accounts and ONLY it can receive emails, iMessages, and FaceTime calls. Thanks!

If you want to disconect your Mac from iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud and click Sign Out. If you only want to stop using iCloud email, just uncheck Mail. To stop iMessage, open the Messages app, go to Messages>Preferences, click the Accounts tab, click your iCoud ID on the left-hand side, then to the right click Sign Out. To stop FaceTime, open the FaceTime app, then click "Apple ID" then click Sign Out.
On your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (or if you only want to stop using iCloud email, turn Mail off). For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID and sign out. For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID and sign out.

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my icloud account. I also have Find My IPhone activated. I tried to delete my ICloud account but first I need to switch off my Find My iPhone, to complicate this I can no longer access prev email account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend.

I erased all the contacts, apple ID and icloud account in my old 4s and gave it to someone. However, whatever contact that someone has saved in my old 4s phone has added in my new 5sphone. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

You can't delete an iCloud account.
Once it is attached to an AppleID it is attached forever.
You can edit the name on your iCloud account or setup an email alias if you made a mistake with the email address.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.
