How do i stop getting my wives contacts from her iPhone on mine??

How do i stop getting my wifes contacts from her iphone on mine?
Also how do you sync notes from imac to iphone??

For the Notes issue, on the iMac go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud and insure Notes is one of the items checked.
The following is a previous discussion on setting up a separate Apple ID for using iCloud but still sharing the same iTunes if desired: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23204265#23204265

  • My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

    If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
    When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? 

  • How can I delete all of my contacts from my iphone? I have updated my contact list in Outlook, and need to re-import that "clean" list.

    How can I delete all of my contacts from my iphone? I have updated my contact list in Outlook, and need to re-import that "clean" list.

    There is a checkbox on the 'info' tab in iTunes that will allow you to overwrite the address book on the phone with the one from the computer on the next sync.

  • How can I check my MobileMe mail & contacts from another iPhone?

    How can I check in on my MobileMe email & contacts from another iPhone or iPad, not my own? When I go to Me.com, the only option it offers is to set up the iPhone with my account -- which is NOT what I want. Is there a workaround or another path to login that doesn't force the "setup"' page on me?

    What a dumb decision. It would seem sensible that a mobile visitor to me.com should be able to proceed to the "regular" website and check mail, etc., through the web interface. Obviously -- well, okay, maybe not, but it puzzles me! You might be (as I tried, yesterday) vising the site through the browser on your wife's iPhone, which is already set up with an account there (and it would require cancelling her log-in and completely resetting her iPhone to proceed on the path Apple now requires!), or ya might be using a friend's iPad (my next attempt, a few minutes later!), or etc. etc. etc.  Ooops! Brick wall! No options.
    Seems like a counter-productive decision, one that's certain to be counter to common-sense needs and goals of Apple users; I can't be the first person to find this dead-end to be frustrating and contrary to expectations.  Okay, I have my rant finished, now.
    Apple, what was the problem that you were so determined to "fix" with this, ummm, feature? Howsabout a little tiny button hidden in greyscale that allows you to contine to the website, or a forcing URL that bypasses the mobile "set-up" interception? Help?
    Thanks, gdgmacguy -- full credit for the answer! Darn it!
    Oops, for some reason it credited ME with the correct answer. I'll try to contact Apple support to get it credited to you. This is apparently a screwup in my posting.

  • How do i remove my linked in contacts from my iphone

    how do i remove my linkedin contacts from my iphone?

    I went to the Apple Store and asked. Basically on the screen that pops up on iTunes when you plug your iPod in, you click "Restore". This puts the iPod back to the original factory settings. This will erase everything on your iPod including music, photos, calenders, and contacts.

  • How can I remove all my outlook contacts from my iphone contacts

    Well, Thats was the first time I`ve used Icloud, so I don`t have much experience, and I just active Icloud on my devices and I dont know why all my outlook contacts went to my iphone contacts. How can I remove it on a easy way otherwise I would delete them one by one and that wont be nice, because are too many.
    Sincerely
    Pedro

    Depending how many contacts you started with and where they were from? were they on your sim card before? to remove ALL contact from an iPhone go to iTunes / info un-tick Sync Contacts and change Outlook to another addrss book that has nothing stored in it (ie. empty) sync your phone with that and that will leave your phone with no contacts. Next look for the backup where you had your previous contacts loaded (group) and re sync it to put them back. Chech iTunes when you plug in your phone that it doesn't sync immediately when you plug it in to eliminate future problems.

  • How do I delete some of the contacts from my IPhone 4s?

    I need to delete about 1500 contacts from my IPhone 4s.  How do I do it.  I inherited this phone from my daughter as I had an android and it is quite different.
    thank you

    When viewing a contact, press the Edit button in the top-right corner and scroll all the way down to reveal a big red Delete button.

  • We share an apple id how can we stop getting each others contacts

    please help

    This is caused by multiple people sharing the same iCloud account..  When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices sharing the account.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Begin by deciding which deivce will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if there are any photos in photo stream that are not in the camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this device, not from iCloud.  The device 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 [iDevice].  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).
    You should also avoid using the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime (or you're likely to get each other's text messages and FaceTime calls).  If you're currently sharing an ID for these services, on one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as your separate iCloud ID).  For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • How do you stop synched iTunes music disappearing from my iPhone 5?

    I have about 35G of music on my iTunes on my iMac, a good % of it having been purchased on ITunes.  The music sync setting for my iPhone 5 is automatic / everything. 
    For the past couple of months, I've been noticing music disappearing from my iPhone when it's offline (eg on the plane, when I listen to my music on my iPhone the most).  Such music would come back as "in the cloud" when I regain wifi / data access.  I would then download them onto my iPhone again.  And then they would disappear again!  How can I stop such annoying behavior?  Does switching music sync to manual help?  Thank you.

    Hello claire267
    In the Messages app, in the drop down menu go to Messages > Preferences. Once there click the Accounts tab and then remove the iMessage account and that will stop all messages associate with your phone number from showing up on your computer.

  • TS1347 hi, I'd like to know how do i get my "Hotmail Contacts" from my iphone to my macbookpro, can you help me?

    I haven't been able to transfer those contacts. I tried via ICloud, but it doesn't transfer them all... I need the Hotmail and Exchange contacts, so again... Could you help me?

    Try using the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself, open it on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import them to Address Book (or Contacts if you have Mountain Lion).

    Haven't you been regularly syncing your phone with iTunes. If so, your contacts should already be on your computer in Outlook.
    If you have not done this, you will need to create a dummy contact in Outlook and then sync the phone so the two contact lists will be merged.

  • My friend came in from China but she gets a "no signal" from her iphone. How does she get her phone working?

    My friend came in from China and he Iphone gets a "no service" message. What is the best way for her to get her phone wotking? Thanks.

    Well, is your friend's phone officially unlocked? If so, get a sim from any T-Mobile store. If not officially unlocked, did your friend get International Provisioning activated for their account...pick a plan & such BEFORE your friend left China?

  • I just synced my my ipad and my daughters contacts from her iphone are in my ipad and our contactcts have merged and most of the notes i had under my contacts are missing. have they been deleted or can they be retrieved somehow?

    where to i look on my computer when im checking to see what i have just backed up? Itunes? Does my computer display what is on my ipad?

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • How do I transfer all of my contacts from iCloud to Outlook ?

    Forgive my ignorance, I am a noob... For my work, I use both an iPhone and a Balckberry, which I sync with Outlook. How do I transfer all of my contacts from my iPhone / iCloud to Microsoft Outlook so that I can put them on my Blackberry as well ? Thank you for your response, even though this may have been covered before.

    Back up your Outlook Contacts first. (Select all and drag them to an empty folder).
    Back up your iPhone Contacts. (Use an app from App Store like "Multi Edit" or search for "Contacts Backup".
    Download and install "iCloud Control Panel for Windows".
    Sign in with your Apple ID.
    Sync Contacts with Outlook
    The iPhone and Outlook Contacts will be MERGE.
    After you sync BB with Outlook you will have ALL of your Contacts on both devices and Outlook.
