How do I stop my contacts saving on 2 different iPhones???

I use the same apple account on 2 different iPhones.... How can I stop my contacts from saving on both phones???

Turn off contacts on one of the phones, or use a different ID on one of them.

  • How do I stop icloud contacts from overwriting or superseding iphone contact entrees

    If i enter a new contact on my Iphone it eventualy gets wiped out (Deleted).  i assume this is because it does not exist on the cloud.  If i enter a new contact in the cloud, it emediatly apears on my Iphone.  Nice!  i like that, but i want to be able to enter new contact info on my Iphon too and have it appear in the cloud contacts.  Is this posible?

    If you are trying to restore your contacts from an iCloud backup, you have to follow the steps in this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.  This involves disabling your internet connection just after your device restarts as it is backing up, then turning off iCloud syncing on your device and keeping a copy of your contacts on it when prompted.  Then you can restore the internet connection, allow you device to re-connect to iCloud and finish restoring.  Then delete any contacts from iCloud.com*, turning contacts syncing on again in Settings>iCloud and choose Merge at the prompt.
    * If the contacts on iCloud.com are not contained in the backup, you can download them as a vCard as explained here before deleting them: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard.  Then you can import this vCard back to your iCloud account as explained here: iCloud: Import a vCard after you're done merging the restored contacts from your phone as discussed above.

  • How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

    How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

    I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
    I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
    I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
    I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

  • How do I stop unwanted contacts on facetime

    how do I stop unwanted contact on facetime this party keeps sending me messages and I have asked them to stop but they wont.

    The Mail app doesn't have a spam filter, any filtering that you want to do needs to be done before it reaches the iPad - if you log into your account via a browser, does your email provider have any settings/options that you can enable  ?

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

    How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

    Why not just open your eyes !
    Under 10.6.8, we had two menu items :
    Save and Save As…
    Now we have a single Save…
    Since the first delivery of the macintosh,
    a menu item whose name ends with ellipsis is one which always open a dialog.
    Under 10.6.8 and older the Save button was used to save and already saved document without opening a dialog.
    If the document was never saved, it behaved as the Save As… one.
    With Lion the Save feature : save an already saved once document is no longer required as the system autosaved everything.
    There was no reason to keep this aspect of the Save item.
    Remaining tasks are those which were dedicated to the Save As… button.
    The engineers choose to drop one op the now duplicating items.
    The synthesis is the Save… item which clearly state what it is supposed to achieve.
    Triggering it, we may :
    change the name used to save
    change the destination folder
    export as .doc
    export as Pages '08
    Of course there is always the black triangle allowing us to use the stripped dialog or the full one.

  • How do I get my contacts from Droid Bionic to iphone 4?

    How do I get my contacts from Droid Bionic to iphone 4?

        Centurion, congrats on your upgrade! I'm sure you'll enjoy the iPhone 4. There are several ways to transfer your contacts. First, are your contacts backed up to either Hotmail/Live or Google? If so, then you can setup that account as Microsoft Exchange account on your iPhone. For Hotmail/Live, http://bit.ly/14VLVIV. For Google, http://bit.ly/XzDaRC.
    Let me know if you need further assistance, or have your contacts saved another way.

    How do i delete a contacts sub folder from my iPhone?

    Hi, sure.
    Under "contacts" "Groups" I have the "All Contacts" option at the top, underneath that i have 3 empty subfolders that have come in from my PC Outlook program. I've deleted these from Outlook, shut Outlook down, shut iTunes down, re started both programs and re synced my iPhone4 and iPhone5. They are still on the iPhone 4, just given to my wife, but have disappeared from my iPhone 5!
