2 iPhone 4s on the same iTunes account, now we have mixed contacts

I've been using my iPhone 4S for quite some time and my wife and I also have iPads (1 and 2). We have always synced the music, books and apps between each device. We finally just got her an iPhone 4S several months ago. So, we just downloaded the latest 6.1.1 IOS upgrade and I must have answered a prompt/question wrong in the set up...because now all of her contacts migrated into my phone and all mine went into hers. We both have a zillion contacts now and don't want them on each other's phone. Also, if someone texts me or texts her, we BOTH get the text message on both phones.
I'm sure there's just a setting somewhere but I can't find it :-) Can someone help me out?
Also, if we manually delete her contacts from my phone that I don't want, will they delete from her iPhone, too? Thanks!!!

Thanks for the help. Took a bit of time and I'll need her phone (when she's back) to get it all straight...I think! :-)

    Hi tomgoggs,
    iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud memory space. See this article for what iCloud is used to store -

  • If you have two iphone 4s on the same Itunes account how can you keep seperate info on each phone i.e contacts and apps etx

    My wife and I have Iphone 4s phones, and the same itunes account on two laptops, when she started her phone for the first time all my contacts were deleted how can we have seperate details on each phone, or do we need seperate accounts

  • HT1689 me and my husband both have iphones 4 on the same itunes account but he cannot purchase anything cuz it keeps sayin its a new device and he needs to answer security questions.the questions are not what we set up the acct with. help!

    My husband and I both have i phone 4 on the same itune acct but his phone is saying its a new device and will not let him buy anything off of our acct without answering security questions.  these questions are not the ones we set up the acct with. my iphone device is not having this problem. Help!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • How do i seperate 2 iphones from using the same itunes account?

    Recently moved from aus to nz, sold my other phone and now have a new phone in nz, hooked it up to my itunes to set it all up and get old info. Now ive changed it to new nz number and removed old number from itunes acct, updated billing and email on account info and all through my phone (icloud/imessage etc) but still getting messages from other phone in aus coming through. Pls help - how do i seperate the 2 phones?

    Go to iCloud.com.
    Log in with your Apple ID & Password.
    Go to Find My iPhone.
    Select the device that you sold.
    Erase the device.
    Remove it from your iCloud account.

  • Can I have an iphone 4 and iphone 4s on the same itunes account?

    I have my husbands old i phone 4 and he has upgraded to the 4s, but the itunes account was created under my name for both phones. I just wanted to ensure that I don't lose my contacts again.

    Hi Allan
    Many thanks for the reply; so to explain to this bear with little brain!!! If I just plug and sync into itunes without touching anything, my contacts will stay on the phone, and not revert back to my husbands contacts?
    This was what happened when he received his new phone,
    All was fine and dandy when we plugged his new phone in to itunes and registered his phone, but when  I plugged his old phone in to itunes for me to customize to my liking and add the few apps and move things around, pop up boxes kept appearing and I just said to yes to all, as I am very new to this, not realizing what any of it really means.
    The next day I went to use my phone to call someone, and I had found that all the contacts had disappeared.....I was not a happy bunny, so I plugged into itunes and the only contacts that reappeared were my husbands old list of contact.
    I went into town to the Orange shop and they managed to transfer my contacts from my old sim on to the iphone, again....but the man in the shop said to stop it happening again, I have to open another itunes account, something I do not wish to do.
    Is the Orange shop assistant correct?

  • Is there a way to allow two users on the same itunes account to see their individual contacts and calendars

    I'm just looking for away to allow my wife and I to see our contacts, emails, and calendars on the macbook pro. We have a single itunes account, with two different iphones. How do we do this? Right now the computer only shows my wifes information.
    Thanks
    Josh

    Thanks GB,
    Ok, so I've gone ahead and setup another Apple ID for my Iphone so now we have two Apple IDs and two Icloud accounts. My Iphone is on my Apple ID, her Iphone, Ipad and Macbook Pro are on her ID.
    Could you give me some direction as to how to add my information to the Macbook Pro.
    - I'd like to be able to see my her and my calendars by clicking on the calendar icon dock.
    - Same with Email, can we see both emails by clicing on the email icon in the dock - I was able to do this on the Ipad but can't figure it out on the Macbook Pro
    - Contact would also be nice but I'm not sure its possible
    I know I could probably setup a second user on the computer, but that would mean logging in and out of user groups all the time which we don't really want to do.

  • My brother and I share the same itunes account, but we have different itunes libraries and ipods, is icloud going to mix or delete or do something to our ipods and libraries content?

    I love what iCloud is going to do and I am thinking on getting rid of my gmail account when iOS 5 comes out but i am afraid of what could happen to my brothers library and my library and to all the apps we have acquired on the same account.
    I wonder if iOS 5 will recognize the difference between my brothers library and mine and they will sync with their respective library instaed of deliting everything or mixing everything or i dont know what it could do.
    Hope someone has a positive answer to my question.

    Fingers crossed the following document might be of some assistance:

  • How can I sync two iphones to the same itunes account without deleting

    My husband & I both have iphones & we share the same itunes account. He just got a iphone 4 and we are trying to transfer his music from the old phone to the new one but we are unable to do that. There is a msg that says if we choose to sync all the songs will be replaced with music from the itunes library. So does that mean he will lose all the music on his phone, replacing it with my library? Help Please!

    I asked a simular question. It is confusing indeed.

  • Messaging With Multiple Devices on the Same iTunes Account

    My husband and I each have an iPhone 4s.  We share the same iTunes account.  We have never had any problems texting.  My daughter got an iPod Touch for Christmas.  So we set it up using the same iTunes account (since I was told you can have up to 5 devices on 1 acct).  Now when any of the 3 of us send a text, it shows up on all 3 devices.  It didn't happen before with just the 2 iPhones, but after adding the touch it does with all 3.  Even if a txt is sent between the 2 iPhones, it shows up on the touch.  And everything is set to 'off' except "find my iPhone" under on the iCloud settings on both phones Any suggestions???

    Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
    Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
    Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.
