Do not want to share contacts

Another person on my plan did a backup yesterday (we both have IOS7 version) & now she has all of my contacts including old contacts off my previous phone that was not an iphone. How do we not share contacts. We do not use the same emails or cloud accounts.

Also, with iCloud now, how can we go about NOT sharing our phone numbers in Contacts??? We would like to continue sharing music and ringtones but nothing else.
In the iCloud settings, turn off Contact Syncing.

We have 3 iPads 3 iPhones 3 Apple id's. We want to use 1 calendar we can all access on each device and have each device update or sync and we all receive notifications from the one calendar. We do not want to share photos contacts, ect. Please help

We have 3 Apple Id's, each ID using an iPad and an iPhone (3 id's, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones). We want to use one calendar on all 6 devices and have that one calendar update or sync to all devices. We would like all 6 devices to provide notifcations from the one unique calendar as well. We do not want to share contacts, photos, ect. Please suggest how to achieve this, with the name of the calendar, if I am to get one from the App store, and how to set this up. Please talk in easy terms as I am technically Challenged. Thank you. 3 iPad air 2, 2 iPhone 6 plus, 1 iPhone 4s.

Hello there MizzouTrojan,
If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Multi ID's want to share contacts, calendar & notes, but need individual ID's for others

Family has multiple iOS and OSX devices all sharing a common Apple ID for iTunes, and we have individual ID's for Message and FaceTime. We all want to share contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and the Find My device feature via Cloud, but found that when we use the shared iTunes ID we all show up as the same person in Air Drop (and possibly other apps too). Is there a way to individualize the devices without loosing the ability to share the desired info? I've searched with no luck. Thank you!

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.

I share my apple id but dont want to share contacts so what do i need to do?

Set up your own iCloud account with your own separate ID. The ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services such as the iTunes and App stores. You can still share an ID for iTunes purchases and have a separate ID for iCloud.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

I do not want to share iCloud with my daughters phone. How do we each get our own?

Thank you. When I go into system preferences, then iCloud, then manage, it does not let me view what is there only says: ex: The documents stored inside Pages take up 623.3KB and gives me the option to: Delete Documents and Data. It does not let me see what files are there. I think it is time for me to go back to my apple store and get more acquainted with iCloud and storage and how to manage it. I had some issues with my mac about a month ago after downloading an updated version. The issue was related to syncing, iCloud, iTunes, calendar and storage. I am nervous about loosing more documents, photos, etc..from my Mac. Thank you for the information.

Try restarting your phone while you hold down the power AND the sleep button at the same time.
This defenitly is a software bug and normally there should be this button.

- What is the source of the videos? If taken by the iPod you can transfer them to the new computer by:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
- If they were iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- If they were synced to the iPod and not iTunes purchases then you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

HT1296 My husband and I each just got iPhones. We also just got an iPad. We've each created our individual Apple id's. We don't want to share contact between our iPhones, but would like to combine contacts on the iPad. I'm looking for suggestions.

My husband and I each just got iPhone 4S. We also purchased the New iPad.
We've set up individual iCloud and iTunes accounts.
We each have contacts that we don't want to share between our iPhones, but would like to share on the iPad.
I'm seeking help as to how to sync these accounts properly to obtain this goal.

If you intend to "share" the iPad, that's not gonna work if you both have separate Apple ID's & iTunes accounts. Like iPhone, iPad is not presently designed to be shared like a computer. Confirm if this is your intent.

My wife and I both have iPads and two separate iTunes accounts, and do NOT want to share apps

My wife and I share one MacBook. We both each have an iPad and we each have our own indvidual iTunes accounts. That is we have two separate individual iPads and two separate iTunes accounts. I do not want her apps on my iPad, and she does not want my apps on her iPad.
When my wife tries to update her apps on her iPad, it shows my user ID and requests my password. It does not even give her an option to put in her own iTunes account ID and password. This happens even though she is clearly logged in on her iPad under Settings --> Store with her own iTunes account, and have the same setup on my iPad (my own user ID and password for my iTunes account). I do not have this problem on my iPad.
How do we keep our apps separate? This is very annoying!
Thanks!

There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps!

My employer wants me to share his calendar but I do not want to share anything but his calendar. Is that possible?

My employer wants me to share his iCloud calendar, but that's all I want to share. I don't want him to have my contacts, bookmarks, etc. I only want to share his calendar on my PC. Is this possible? Also, can I sign up for iCloud on my iPod Touch using my secondary id, but then sign out right away so that this secondary account just for the boss's calendar doesn't mix w/ anything on my iPod?

That helps a lot (thanks!), but if you could please clarify one part of the instruction steps, I'd greatly appreciate it. If my boss sends me the invitation using my work email (w/ Outlook), do I still accept the invitation via iCloud.com? Will I be able to prevent him from seeing my bookmarks, contacts, etc.stored on this computer? Finally, do I have to do something to my Outlook program or via my PC's control panel to complete the process?

Can you install a password so that the user of the phone cannot unblock contacts. I do not want certain people contacting my daughter.

Can you install a password so that the user of the phone cannot unblock blocked contacts. I do not want my daughter to be contacted by certain people. I also do not want her to be able to contact them.

The real problem is that whatever you do will only affect that phone. If she really wants to contact them she could use ANY phone.

How do I disable sharing on one of two apple tvs? I do not want to share my library and apps with my ex. Apple tvs are in separate homes

I just broke up and left my ex and we had two apple tvs in our home. I kept one and she kept one. How do I turn off home sharing on the apple tv that she kept? I no longer want to share anything with her. My apps, music, movies, etc. Do I need to change my apple ID?
Help,

Hey Mixtris,

Family sharing iCloud ID to synch iCal&Address Book, but do not want to share email.

Hello,
I have both mine and my wife’s iphone paired to my icloud account so we can share/synch our Address Book, iCal, Find my iPhone, etc. Plus, we share my iTunes account, though that is under a different Apple ID.
My email address is not in her mail folder, however she gets my mail in her ‘All Inboxes’.
How do I stop this, yet still share my iCloud features (family plan - type)?
Thx - Erik
<Email Edited by Host>

Firstly, I've asked the hosts to edit your email from your post, it's not a good idea to post it in the open it will attract unwanted mail.
If your wife simply doesn't want your email she can turn off mail syncing in her iCloud settings.
If she wants her own me address she should have her own iCloud account, you could then add each others iCloud to your own a s a secondary account and just turn on the sync services you want.
