Controlling what contacts are put on iPhones using same computer
myself and 4 of my family have new iPhone 6's and use one iMac for updates etc.
The problem is I also use this same iMac for my business and my business contact info also ends up on their
iphones as well which they nor I do not want my info on their phones.
Is there a way to limit what contact info is put on their iPhones so that they do not get the business contact names etc.?
Thanks
Bob
You're welcome

Two iPhones using same computer
My husband and I both have iPhones and we use the same computer to backup our phones. We have had the problem of our apps getting loaded onto each other's phones. Is there something we can do to avoid this?
Each of you should only check the apps you want installed on your individual devices. You should select your device, then click on the Apps tab in iTunes main window. Check only the apps you want on your device. Your husband does the same thing for his. When you each sync be sure you use your device's configuration. To do so you must be sure that you each assign a unique name to your device in iTunes.

Syncing two sets of contacts on two different iphones using one computer
My wife and I both have an iPhone. We have one computer, and we would like to be able to sync our own contacts to our specific phones. i.e. she doesn't want all of my business contacts on her phone. We run windows, so all of our contacts sync with outlook. Help!

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 need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events. -
Control what songs are on my Ipod touch when I'm out of WiFi coverage
My iTunes library is much larger than my 4g Ipod Touch. with iTunes match can I control what songs are on my iTouch when I will be out of WiFi coverage.
ThanksWhen I leave my house where I have WiFi coverage I want to select what songs I can play when I'm out of coverage. Because I have only 8 gig on my Ipod I can't download everything for offline use. I want to be able to choose what I have available when I'm off line. How can I do that?

Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)
You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

one of my friend updated her iPhone with my apple id and now her contacts are inside my iPhone , she has deleted my contact which has been i her contact , how can i bring back my contact ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing you should do is have your friend log out of your account and change your password.
Do you have a back up from when you had the contacts on your phone. -

What applications are on my iPhone?
Is there a way to programmatically determine what applications are on my iPhone?
Is there an API I can call?Hi Windy, and welcome to the Dev Forum!

No, not legally. Of course if you just want to hack your own device, you can do a web search to find lots of ways to view and manipulate all the files on the system.
In general, licensed 3rd party iPhone apps are expected to mind their own business. But there are exceptions. For example, see [Communicating with Other Applications|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/iPhone/Concep tual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/StandardBehaviors/StandardBehaviors.html#//apple_r ef/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH4-SW26] in the +iOS Application Programming Guide+.

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?
How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you? -

i went to put my Iphone on my computer but my boyfriend got his first on my apple and now i have all his stuff and i can't work out how i get all my stuff and information back. I have lost all my contacts, pictures and messages how do i retrieve them and not have my boyfriends information back
Your title asks "How do I get my iPhone information back on my (iPhone)?
You also said "I have yet to back it up." Therefore, all your information that had been on your iPhone is now gone.
Your iPhone has (and will continue to) been refreshed from iTunes. -
I have an ipod classic my daughter has an ipod touch, can I put both libraries on same computer and how is this done???
I would think you can. If you don't want them to be synced the same, create a playlist with your daughters music, and one with yours, and configure iTunes to only sych the selected playlists.
