    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

  • Syncing contacts from iOS devices to OSX

    We just got a new Macbook Air (our first Mac device) we already have an Iphone and Ipad mini, we're trying to sync our contacts from both devices to our new Macbook Air, HELP

    Since the release of Mavericks (OS X 10.9) syncing contacts and calendars between iOS devices and a Mac via iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is to use iCloud.  http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • Why do recent contacts from other devices show up in messages

    I share iCloud with other devices, how do I stop their recent contacts from showing up in my iMessages? I have everything turned off in iCloud.

    Delete your iCloud account and set  up a new one with a different Apple ID than the other devices.  Unless you want to share data between different devices, each one should have its own iCloud account, with different Apple ID.

  • How to get your pictures and contacts from one device to another

    hey guys I just bought an iphone 5s and I wanted to transfer all my photos and contacts from my old iphone which was a 4s to my 5s. when I tried to do it first time a message appeared on my computer and said that it couldn't transfer anything because the software on my iphone 4s was too old. I updated everything and I tried to restore the backup, but instead of restoring it from my most recent backup it restored it from a backup that happened about a year ago. So i need to know how to restore a backup from my iphone 4s and transfer it to my 5s

  • Remove Contacts from all Devices and PCs

    Hi:
    I'm an old Skype user and i have never been in the need of removing contacts since i had to remove one two weeks ago.
    I did the "remove contact" from Skype for iPad... Then i logged in with skype for mac and everything ok, the contact was not showing in my list. But today, my Android Skype logged in accidentaly and it had an old contact list because it has been offline for weeks. When i checked the contacts, it showed the contact that i removed two weeks ago as "pending request", and then when i checked it in Skype for Mac it appeared again as "pending request".
    My question is:
    Is Skype sending a request to a contact that i removed when i sign in from a device that was not connected when i performed the removal?
    Do this contact receive any kind of contact request when that happens? or is it only a sync problem between devices?
    I'm concerned because i don't want to seem sending a request every time i sign in from a device that was not connected when i actually removed that contact for privacy reasons.
    Regards!

    All Contacts is exactly what it says, all of your contacts. You can't remove contacts from that group.

  • We have an iphone and 2 ipods that all use the same icloud. How can I get it to where the messages and contacts from each device are not shared

    My husband is getting all of my childrens messages on his phone. How can I change that or does he need his own apple ID? If so do we need to rest his phone to register it under him?

    Yes he would need his own apple id for imessage/facetime and icloud.
    In the meantime on his device go to settings - message - send&receive - remove the shared apple id.

  • Syncing iphone contacts with iCloud does not work

    I navigate to my iPhone 4 Settings and from there chose the option which is named iCloud
    I turn OFF Contacts choosing to keep contacts on my iPhone and then turn it ON again.
    I get prompted with the option to Merge my iPhone contacts with the ones I have on the iCloud already. I  click "Merge".
    I wait until the iCloud service is turned on for my iPhone contacts.
    Finally, I go back to the Contacts app on my iPhone and click Groups, which is there I assume because I have multiple email accounts linked to my iPhone. I refresh my contact list by clicking on the circular arrow in the top left corner of the screen on the iPhone.
    Contacts I have recently added to my iPhone are NOT transferred to iCloud.
    Why is this not working?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    Go on system preferences / iCloud and check if Calendar is turned on.
    Then take your iPhone 4 and go on Settings/iCloud and check if the Calendar is turned on.
    If both are on with the same Apple ID, it should all go fine.
    You can go on iCloud.com, logon with your Apple ID and click on the calendar to verify.

  • HT4623 dear concerned kindly be informed that I have an iphone that we reset and the iTunes backup is corrupted. Is it possible to restore the contacts from the device?

    Dear experts,
    Kindly could you advise back if it's possibel to recover contact list from an iPhone device that has been reset?
    please note that the iTunes backup file is corrupted and itunes is treating the iPhone as new device.
    thank you

    unless you had them synced with icloud or some other email account, very unlikely

  • How can i remove contacts from my devices

    I have installed the new Mountain Lion OSX on my mac and open the Cloud with my apple ID, this ID is also linked to 3 of our families iPhone 4's, and since we have done this, my wife's iphone has all my work contacts on it.
    also,
    I have started using the new "messages" app that comes with Lion on our Mac, since doing this all our devices (iphones) are sending and recieving the same messages when we message each other.
    how can i manage these two issues please?
    regards Colin R.

    thank you very much, that makes sense to me now.. so as i understand it now, i can set up an additional id for the ocloud, but still maintain the itunes account that we all use and want to keep sharing so we can sinc our itunes etc.
    if this is correct how do i set up a new (additional) ID for the ICload for our phones? i may do this to mine, as my wife needs to share the icloud with our home mac and her iphone and ipad when she gets one (travels alot)
    many thanks..

  • How can I delete all my contacts from the icloud?

    I've been working with Apple's sometime, and now I have been forced to use iCloud after MobileMe.
    After syncing a couple of devices, some things went quite wrong. My iCloud contacts are now a complete mess. I have lots of duplicates. And over 8000 contacts.
    What I want to do is, is do a cleanup, and clear all the iCloud contacts, and import a new 'clean' address book from 1 mac to the icloud, which then in it's turn can be synced to all the devices?
    Is dit possible? I've noticed deleting manually is a pain, because the browser doesn't really allow more then 50 contacts or so at a time, before the browser freezes.

    Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
    Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
    Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

  • How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

    How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac. 

    Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
    In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
    You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

  • I deleted a contact from my phone and it synced with all my other devices including my Mac. However, I have setup time machine and have many previous backups. Can I open or use a file in back ups to get my contact back? Where and which one? Thanks!

    Its all in the question.
    I have backups from months ago.
    And ICLOUD deleted my contact from others devices.

    Bring the Contacts window forward, then enter Time Machine and scroll back to a snapshot that includes the contacts you want to restore. Select the contacts and click the Restore button in the lower right corner of the screen.
    If you don't have a Time Machine backup, but your contacts are all on iCloud and haven't been overwritten, then you can recover them by following the instructions on this page. Double-click the downloaded file to import it into Contacts. This procedure will not work if you've synced an empty Contacts database to iCloud.

  • How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

    Hi All,
    I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
    I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.
