Have two different iPhones on same account, when I get an app it goes to my spouses phone too. We also have each others contacts. How do we fix this?

My husband and both have iPhones on the same Apple ID. Do we need to have two separate accounts because when I purchase an app he gets it on his phone? Also all my contacts are coming up under his contacts now. Not sure how to fix this. I wanted to add my email but am afraid to do so in case it comes up on his phone. Any suggestions?

Go to settings-store-and turn off automatic downloads. Then go to settings-icloud or settings-mail contacts and calendar (which ever one shares an account between the devices) and turn off contact syncing on the phone that you dont want it to sync to.

I have two separate calendars on iCloud (to share with two different groups), but I click on the second and try to enter data, it defaults to the first one I set up. How do I fix this?

I have one iCloud account. I set up two separate calendars on iCloud to share with two separate groups. But when I click on the second calendar and try to enter data, it defaults to the first/other calendar (wrong group to share with). How do I fix this?

Was this ever resolved?
Recently I set up a share for one calendar with another Apple user, through my iCloud. Now I find that the shared calendar, which has maybe 50 entries a week because it is for keeping track of community center activities and printing out PDFs, appears in my personal Calendar --- unless I turnoff the sharing.
Is this generally true? I cannot find any clarity on this on Apple Support.
If so, I plan to stop the assistance to the other Apple user. I will stop sharing the community center calendar that I set up on my computer and ask her to set up such a calendar on her own computer anew. The sharing of Calendars does not work well. It seems the shared calendar takes over as the only calendar one can see on one's own computer, replacing other calendars set up without sharing. I can only "see" the other calendars by turning off the sharing on the shared calendar. This is inconvenient. Basically shared Calendars take over!

HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

Folder is empty on second computer. I have installed adobe CC on two different computers for same account so I can work at two different places. I uploaded files to it yesterday and I can't find it on the CC folder on second computer. What can I do?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

ITunes is saying that I have over 4.78 GB under the category of "other", making it so my iPhone 4 can't add any data (music, apps, pictures, etc.). I'm currently using only 1.3 GB of storage on my iPhone, and the rest is "other". How do I fix this?

Hi Michael,
I'm glad iTunes is working now! If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion. You can access it using these steps:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
You can find the full article here:

I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this?

I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this so I can use my new phone? The first step asks for my iCloud info but then asks for my friends after I agree to the terms.

The iPhone is new, has never been used. When asked if I want to set it up as a new phone, restore from an iTunes backup, or my iCloud backup I selected iCloud. It then askes for me to sign in with my Apple ID, I then agree to the terms, then it asks for me to sign into my friends Apple ID. She and I have used each other's computers in the past so I assume this is where her information is coming from. The problem is she no longer had that email or Apple ID and has no way of gaining access to it and therefor I am unable to proceed.
I suppose my question is, how can I remove her information from mine so I can setup my new phone using iCloud. Also, I have already checked my Apple ID online and nowhere on my account is her information listed.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your Mac and into iTunes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:
