Do not want to sync my contacts to my child's ipod
HI, my daughter disabled her iPod so I had to restore it back to her originally settings. This put all of my personal contacts on her iPod. How do I remove my contacts from her iPod 5?
On her iPod go to Settings>iCloud and turn off Contacts. However, she can turn them back on.
Best would be to:
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birtdate that results in an age of 13 years or more
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

I have the iPhone 4S, iOS7.0 of an ex-employee. That person would like a list of their contacts from the phone. I DO NOT want to sync with another email account, just a simple listing of the contacts.
Also consider using

Free, via App Store. Works like a charm. See here for details and link to App Store

My husband just got an iPad and we are wondering if he can sync the iPad to my lap top since I already have my iPhone synced to the laptop. We do not want to intermix the contacts, photos, etc from his iPad onto my iPhone or my iPhone info onto his iPad.
You should be able to sync both to the same iTunes - I sync my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch to the same computer. With the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the tabs on the right-hand side to select which of your iTunes content to sync to it, so you can control which apps, photos, music etc are synced to it, and (via the Info tab) from which email account your contacts are synced from. Your computer's iTunes should remember your syncing preferences for each device.

I have 2 iphones that share the same apple ID I do not want them to share contacts and apps how can I change this?
You can use separate AppleIDs for iCloud, iMessage and iTunes - you just need to create unique AppleIDs for the iCloud accounts if syncing contacts that way (you will need an email address that is not already registered as an AppleID though to get another AppleID).
Apps are a different matter in that purchases are tied to the AppleID used to log in to the store to make the purchase. So you can create another AppleID for iTunes as well and use different ones on the different phones, but any apps you have already purchased with your existing AppleID are permanently tied to that AppleID.
Really, unless you are sharing apps, content and such, there is no reason to use the same AppleID on each anyway. So the simplest solution is to create new AppleID(s) for the second device. If you need an email address to do that, just get a gmail account (or hotmail, yahoo or any other free email account). -
I can not enable selected photos to sync to my iphone 5. It is greyed out. I do not want to sync my entire iPhoto library.. help!
Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -
I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts, Is there a way?
I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts on a regular basis, Is there a way?
For a few reasons, I decided to use both services after thoroughly researching this same question about a year ago for myself.
I use iCloud for my "Top 20" or so contacts. Advantage is that I can sync more phone #'s per contact and get a full screen photo when they call.
I use Google for everyone else. And only the contacts in My Contacts group will get synched, so I can manage easily how many contacts are on my phone at any time. Another advantage is that if iCloud ever goes down, or I lose my device, I can easily look up my contacts on a web browser (assuming Google is available 100% of the time) If I move to another device down the road, all of my contacts can stay on Google.
My google contacts is setup as an exchange account, so updates are pushed to the device as well. Another advantage to this is that I can "lookup" any contact on my google account that is not part of My Contacts right on the device at will.
The "Top 20" icloud contacts are also on Google, under its own group that doesn't sync with the device, just as a backup. -
I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?
Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?
Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone alsoCheck icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

My ipod touch does not want to sync with itunes
My ipod touch ( 4 th IOS 5 firmware 5.0.1 8gb ) does not want to sync with itunes on my computer while on another computer be synchronized
HELP please !What?
What do yo mean it does not want to sync?
Are you trying to say it does sync with one computer but not with another????? If so, this is by design. All iDevices are designed to sync with one and only one computer. -
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
