Contacts on work and personal phone, need to take them off each other??

Hi, I have 2 iPhone's ( iPhone 4S & iPhone 5S) 1 for work and 1 for personal, initially I used my apple ID & iCloud ID to set them both up but since I have taken both apple & iCloud ID off my work phone however my contacts from personal phone are still on there and visa versa??? Can someone help with taking them off each other??

Settings---> Mail, Contacts, Calendar---> Accounts
Check which one you want on the phone.

Syncing contacts between work and personal email accounts

Device:
Model: Apple iPhone 5s
Storage: 16GB
OS: iOS 8.1.2
User has multiple email accounts (both work and personal) on the iPhone 5s. How does a user manage adding personal contacts to iPhone without personal contacts syncing to a work email account contacts list?
Issue: User adds personal contacts to their iPhone and those contacts are now showing in their MS Exchange work email contacts list.
Troubleshooting: User went into individual personal contacts that were synced to MS Exchange work email contacts list- selected name- scrolled down to
"Linked Contacts"- selected Exchange (with name of contact)- selected edit- scrolled down to delete contact. This seemed to remove the contacts instantaneously.
Also
Went into Settings-Mail Contacts and Calendar- Scrolled down to Contacts- set Default Account to personal email account. Tested adding a personal contact and this did not seem to sync up to the Exchange email contact list.
Is there any other way that would prevent personal and work contacts from merging when a user uses the same device to manage both accounts?

When you go into Contacts - you should see two groups - work and personal
If you uncheck the work group - you will be left with the personal contacts to which you should be able to add

Separating work and personal phone?

I have a personal phone and a work phone, and even though they are separate numbers, everything is synced the same to both. They both receive my messages, emails, etc. How do I set them up as different phones, and still use one computer to sync them? I don't want my work contacts on my personal phone and vice versa!

Get separate Apple ID's for each phone...must be verified email addresses...then use these ID's for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. You can continue to use the same Apple ID, on both phones, for iTunes content. As to your contacts, create groups on your computer & then only sync whatever group you want on each phone. iTunes will then keep track of everything, by device, including separate backups.

Since ios8 my work and personal phones are receiving the same calls simultaneously. They are both linked to my Apple ID. How do I turn this off?

Duplicate calls on two devices?

That is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off:
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

Separate Work and personal CONTACTS (not BB Balance)

Is there an alternative way to have separate CONTACTS (work and personal) in a BB Z10 for us whom do not have BB Balance. I just want this for the contacts, and perhaps the text messages, I do not need the security and all other features that Balance or a BES provides... If not, do you guys know if BLACKBERRY is planning on doing this for a future update? Seems like a very useful feature...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Open Contacts, at the bottom - All, Search, select 'New Group' create Group Name then add contacts.
Suggest you name them 1business and 1private etc., then the groups will be at the top of the list. Existing contacts will just be duplicated in Groups.

My personal ringtones are on my iPhone 5, they are attached to the correct phone numbers and play correctly when I test them on each contact. But when I receive a call instead of the proper ringtone, it plays the generic. What Am I not doing right?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Seperating work and personal iphones

I need to seperate work and personal iphones
At the moment I have a work phone set up with my personal itunes account and a mix of work and personal contacts. I now have a personal iphone and need to get personal stuff off the work phone onto the new personal phone. I have set up a work itunes account and signed out of my personal one and into the work one on my work phone but the apps I downloaded with my personal account are still there - how do I transfer the apps I downloaded with my personal account onto my work phone onto my personal iphone?
Also I want to edit the contacts on both phones to remove the personal contacts from my work phone and the work contacts from my personal phone. There are hundreds of work e-mails so is there a fast, effective way of doing this either on the iphone or using itunes contacts on my laptop?
Thanks,
Rachel

Oh, this is a messy question - like asking how to organize your closets - and then asking how to move your existing organization to fall into the new, correct one.
I can tell you the desired end state - your organization should look like two different people - you at work, and you at home. The "you at home" should have all your apps, personal contacts, music, etc. The "you at work" should have only your work related stuff.
You should do this by having two distinct copies of iTunes, probably under two different logins on at least one (if not two) computers.
How to move your existing comingled stuff into this end configuration is a more difficult issue.

Syncing between a work and personal iPhone help

I have both a work and personal Iphone. I want to know if there is a way share my calendar between phones and some apps of my choosing without sharing all photo's and contacts. Is this possible? If so, how would i accomplish this?

You can try sharing your iCloud calendar with yourself as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694. If you work phone has an iCloud account, you can privately share your calendar with it, giving your read and write access. If it doesn't, you can publically share it, giving you read-only access. This should give you the ability to view the shared calendar alongside your work calendar without merging the two.

My daughter's ipod is not working and says it needs to be plugged into a computer. Can she sync to someone elses mac?

My daughter is away at camp and ipod is not working and says it needs to be connected to itunes. She does not have her laptop with her. Can she sync to her itunes on someone else's mac?

Yes, when she plugs it in to another person's mac, tell it transfer purchases, then authorize the computer by going to store, and click authroize computer. If the iPod is in recovery mode
Then I don't think she can have her music apps etc. on there after she plugs it into the computer. If it just needs a charge
When iTunes opens on the computer, quit it, and do not let the iPod sync with the computer, just answer no or ignore to any questions asking if you want to sync.

If you haven't been using your phone as recommended, then you've lost all your contacts. Contacts should be synched to your computer (Address Book, Outlook) or a cloud service (MobileMe, Google) for safekeeping. The iPhone was never intended to be a storage device.
If you haven't been using your phone as recommended and synching your contacts as above, frankly, you've no one to blame for your loss of data but yourself.
On that topic, are you making regular backups of your computer's data as well? Hard drives WILL fail.

You need to get the on/off button repaired.
You can try connecting the iPhone to a power source which should power the iPhone on.

Z10 Work and Personal partions not separate

Was recently set up on the new BB10 BES. Balance was turned on however my work email and person email accounts show up on both partitions.

Hey lzedvin,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Work emails and Personal emails will appear in both work and personal places. To view the work place emails on the personal side you still need to place in the password.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Use separate Apple IDs for each family member and use Family Sharing features of those things (if any) that you do want to share. https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/
