If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

  • HT204407 My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers.  Is there anyway we can both be on "Find Friends."

    My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers.  Is there anyway we can both us "Find Friends" apps?  When I try to enter her contact name it won't allow me to do this.  Thanks.

    make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
    you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
    the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address

  • In my MacBook Pro "sent" mailbox emails are listed by my email address but on my iPad the "sent" emails are listed by the sent email address?

    On my MacBook Pro in the "sent" mailbox emails are listed by my email address but on my iPad the "sent" emails are listed by the sent email address.  Very hard to look at the address where the message was sent to?

    After upgrading to IOS 7.0.3 the problems gone.
    There is no mention of this being a bug or a fix so im thinking a software glitch was the issue.
    When I look at a message in my inbox and it says "To: JB Manz" - I click my name and it shows my contact info including my 4 email addresses and the address the message was addressed to is highlighted blue, others all black.
    Not sure how it got fixed but it's working like it used to.

  • My daughter has a ipod touch 4 generation.  It is running iOs 6.1.3.  The problem is that it loses its data and reverts back to a new ipod at least twice a week.

    My daughter has a ipod touch  4 gen.  It is running iOS 6.1.3.  It shuts down and reverts back to being a brand new ipod.  We then connect to computer and restore to a backup.  It works fine for a few days and then does the same thing again.  How do I fix this?  She got it for Christmas last year.  We don't want to spend the next few years doing this twice a week.  All help is appreciated.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • TS1398 We a trying to start a apple ID acc for my daughters new IPod touch. I have a apple ID acc with mt Iphone. It wont let us use the same email address, but wont let us use a fake one either. What do we do?

    we are trying to open a apple ID acc for my daughters IPod touch.I have a apple ID acc with my IPhone. It wont let us us use the same email ( she doesnt have one) but wont let us us a fake one. What do we do?

    The only way to get an apple ID is to have an email account you've never used before. The only thing you can do is make her an email.

  • I have ended up with 2 apple ID's and want to cancel 1 of them and merge everything together.  How can I do this?.  Ive tried changing my sign in to the same email address but it wont accept it.

    When I signed on at Christmas an update was available on my ipod classic.  When I updated it...... it then crashed and when I took it to the store they dismissed it and said its a driver/hardware problem  (which it didnt have before I updated it to the latest version) anyway its now dead.
    I also have a nano that was purchased as a present for me and I want to add the nano to the same account but it wont let me as it was originally set up in a different account.  I have tried to cancel/delete that account but it still wont let me add the new nano to the original account.   Can anyone help wih this please?.

  • HT203511 Is there a way for me to get all 2,000 photos from my iphone onto the photos app on my macbook without having to delete anything? Currently it is only uploading the last 30 days.

    I have had my macbook for a few months, but have not really taken full advantage of it. I am trying to get my phone to communicate with my computer so my photos will be in two locations. I just set up the photos app on my computer, but it will only upload the last 30 days.

    Have you considered using iCloud Photo Library instead of Photo Stream? See iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    The following quote from that link has instructions on how to turn it on:
    If you want to turn on iCloud Photo Library on all of your devices, follow these steps:
    In iOS 8.3 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos, then turn on iCloud Photo Library.
    In OS X 10.10.3 or later, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Options next to Photos, then select iCloud Photo Library.

  • I can only see three weeks of emails on the imap email account on my iMac even though the same email address set up as a pop account on my iPhone, iPad and another iMac show all my emails.  How do I change the setting to see more emails?

    I have two iMacs, an iPhone, and an iPad.  All use the same email address but the new iMac would only let me set up the email account as an imap account. On this iMac I can only see three weeks worth of emails.  On the other iMac, iPhone, and iPad, this email address is set up as a pop account and I can see emails as far back as three years.  I use Yosemite on the new iMac and I cannot find out how to change the settings to let me see more than three weeks worth of emails.  This is an att&t email account which is basically a Yahoo account.

    Nope. It will reset all settings. For fix errors.
    Or you can try Logging out and Restart your iPad and Sign in again.

  • EWS Managed API: Email sender name incorrect if loading properties of multiple emails and several emails have same email address (but different names)

    Hi,
    I have an issue using the Exchange Web Services Managed API. I'm essentially implementing an 'inbox', and am essentially using two calls:
    folder.FindItems(filter, view) with the view set up with the 'idonly' property.
    The returns a 'FindItemResults<>' object containing a set of items.
    And then calling service.LoadPropertiesForItems(items, props), where the props contains all 'first class properties', which includes the sender details.
    Now, the inbox contains several emails from the same email address but with different displaynames.
    E.g. There may be one email from "Bob <[email protected]>" and another email from "Alice <[email protected]>" and another email from "Charlie <[email protected]>" etc.
    The issue is that in the information that EWS returns from the call to LoadPropertiesForItems, every email ends up with the same sender name (from the first one in the list)!
    i.e. When I enumerate through the returned items, the item.Sender.Name will always be"Bob" for every email where Sender.Address is [email protected] 
    I have debugged this with a http sniffer just to ensure that it really is the EWS coming back with this information rather than anything in the managed layer.
    Is this a known issue? How can I work around this (without querying every single email for the sender name individually, as that would be too slow)?
    Thanks

    Hi Venkat,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The scenario is that the client receives emails from a (3rd-party) automated system. The email address from this automated system is always "noreply@<blah.com>", while the display name is used to differentiate the actual sender.
    I suspect that this kind of system will likely become more widely used, and so for us will increase in priority (obviously its a priority for our client already)!
    Just for the record, if this is a known issue do you have a bug number or equivalent for it? (I tried to search but couldn't locate it).

  • Someone has the same email address as me!

    I know this shouldn't be possible but it's happening!  I have an apple email address [email protected] and as I understand it that automatically gives me [email protected] too.  I don't ever use the icloud domain but I have tested it and if I send an email to [email protected] I receive the email.
    A month or so ago I received a load of emails, receipt etc. for a purchase that had been made on a website, registered to the email address [email protected]  I presumed someone must have entered the wrong email address and so contacted the website owner and said I'd been sent these emails in error.  They contacted the person and came back to me saying that they had said the email address was correct.  I asked them to contact them again (they are in Australia, I'm in the UK) and explain what was happening, double check the email address and ask if they had been receiving my emails.  The response was that the email address was definitely correct, they didn't use it very often and no, they hadn't been receiving my emails.  They couldn't help me any more and so I thought maybe they hadn't realised they'd made an error with the email address. I emailed them on [email protected] but I heard nothing more.
    Now the same thing has happened with another website.  Whoever is using this email address has subscribed to a website, paid a fee for membership and I received all the emails, a receipt, documents that came with the purchase and also a login username and password.  I logged into the site, it worked. Unfortunately there was no area where I could leave a message.  Once again I have emailed them on [email protected]  I have also searched for the person on Facebook using [email protected] and if I've found the right person they are only a young teenage girl.  Again I have emailed them on [email protected] and asked them to contact me on another email address.  I have heard nothing so I don't know if they received the email... I received it though!
    I don't know how 2 people can be allocated the same email address but what is really worrying me is that if I am receiving emails intended for someone else are they receiving my emails?!!!  That would really be a security problem as my email address is registered to lots of websites, my utilities etc.
    Can anyone shed any light on how this can happen?  I have put a telephone support request into Apple but the earliest was in 2 days.

    The websites that she has signed up to I have logged in and there is no message asking for email verification which suggests she is receiving emails.
    If they could sign in using an email address that isn't verified then all the website owner has is her word that she is receiving their emails.  Besides, if there had been a verification email for these sites, you would have seen it too; which suggests that there wasn't.
    Once you get the password changed they will not be able to receive any email from the account, even if they do now.  That may not be the end of the problem, however, as there would still be nothing to prevent them from continuing to use the address to sign up on websites that don't verify the address.  If it persists, you may have to either create a new iCloud account in order to get a new email address, or create an alias address to use within the existing iCloud account and stop using your main address for email.  Then you can set up an email rule on icloud.com that sends email from the main addres to the trash where it is deleted 30 days later.  This explains how to create an alias address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  This explains how to set up an email rule: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.  Good luck.

  • I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    When you share an iCloud account, any data you sync with the account is merged, and any actions you take on one device (such as deleteing contacts) is synced to all other devices sharing the account.  To avoid this, each person's device(s) should have a separate iCloud account with a separate ID.  (You can continue to share your iTunes account; it does not need to have the same ID as the one used for iCloud.)
    To create separate icloud accounts, decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
    As for recovering the deleted contacts, you can try restoring her phone from her most recent backup.  This may recover the contacts, however it often doesn't.  Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If she have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that she wants to save she will need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

    What can I do to boot?

    Restart with the Option key held down.
    If the internal drive shows up, it's the PRAM battery.
    If it doesn't, insert a compatible Mac OS 9 or X install disk, click the button with the circular arrow, and either repair the internal drive or install a new OS on it. If it doesn't show up in Disk First Aid(9) or the Disk Utility(X), it's either not plugged in or needs to be replaced.

  • HT1751 Hello, can you help? I have backed up iTune library to an external hard drive, but want to set up periodic back ups every month. Do I have to follow the "Consolidate file" procedure every time I back up, and does my original back become over writte

    Hello can anyone help? I have sucessfully backed up  my iTuines library to an external hard drive, but when backing up in the furture (Monthly)  do I have to follow the same procedure again, and will this place an additonal copy of my iTunes library on my hard drive, so duplicating the back up and so rapidly fill my hard drive.
    Ideally what I would like, is for the lateset back up to over write the original so saving space on my external hard drive. Many thanks ......Steve

    The "consolidate" command has nothing to do with making backups. You use that command when you have had content in multiple places and you wish to have it now all in a single iTunes folder. If all of your content is already in the iTunes folder, then the "consolidate" command will be of no use to you. You will make further backups using whatever method you normally would use to make backups of your data in Windows.
    Regards.
