How to only have certain contacts on specific devices

We updated to iCloud on our iPhone 4's....now my husband has all of my contacts, as well as all of his. But I only have mine. What happened? I updated mine first.
What should we do?

In order to use iCloud every person should have his own Apple ID for iCloud. This allows to keep contacts seperated.
You can still use the same Apple ID for purchases: Settings->Store
But I would suggest that everybody uses an additionnal personal Apple ID for iCloud: Settings->iCloud
Feel free to ask, when having more questions!

I do not fully understand you question. To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
The following smple states the following for Contacts:
iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
Contacts
If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).

Download the free app My Contacts Backup. Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone. Check the contacts on your phone. If you have any left on your phone, launch My Contacts Backup, tap the gear shaped icon on the bottom right, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. When finished, go back to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On to sync the unduplicated contacts back to your phone from iCloud.
Also, be sure you aren't trying to sync your contacts with both iCloud and iTunes or you will get duplicates.

HT204053 How do I wipe certain contacts from I-cloud so that they do not appear on my i-phone 5?

How do I wipe certain contacts from I-cloud so thatthey do not appear on I-phone 5 after backing up with I-cloud on phone please?

As an experiment, try this way.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try unchecking the tones and syncing, then re-checking them and syncing again.

Sync back with yours. Or restore from icloud back up.

HT204150 I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Hi everyone,
I have a few pictures in a publication, and I only need to see the bleed on those pages. However, when I select bleed option under document setting, the bleed appears on every single page. How to show bleeds only on the pictures pages? Thank you very much!
Simon
You can fake a bleed by drawing a rectangle on a non-printing layer. Show or hide the layer as needed. Because showing/hiding a layer affects all pages in a document, to show one or another fake bleed independent of others, place each on its own layer. Although in InDesign CS5's Layers panel, you can select objects on layers and show or hide them individually, it's tricky to figure out which is which; it's easier to place each fake bleed rectangle on its own layer.

How can i organize my contacts on multiple devices

how can i organize my contacts on multiple devices

What I ment was: How can I organize my contacts into groups without leaving the "Contacts" app.

On ios7, How do I only have a contact's name popup when they text me rather than the entire text?

I just bought the iPhone 5s and am having trouble setting up the messaging as I had it on my iPhone 4s. When I receive an imessage or text message, I prefer that only the contact's name shows up on my lock screen. Right now, the contact's name and the entire text pops up on my lock screen. How do I fix this?
I went into General Settings and then Messages, and have played around to try and fix it, but haven't had any luck.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Does anyone know how to recover deleted contacts? For some reason contacts with only phone numbers have been deleted the rest of my contacts are there. It appears that I only have the contacts on my phone that i have on my laptop.

Does anyone know how to recover contacts that have been gone missing or have been deleted somehow. The contacts that are missing are the ones where I only had phone numbers (no email address). The ones where I have both phone numbers and email addresses are ok. They are the same ones I have on my laptop. I dont know what I did to cause the ones with phone number only to disappear.

Good Afternoon irish357,
I know the importance of saving and updating your contacts. What type of phone do you have? If you are using Backup Assistant, you have the ability to sync the contacts between your laptop and phone. You will also be able to see if all your contacts are stored on the online portion of the application versus the phone itself. The contacts should be the same for both online and the phone.
I have attached a link below for your reference.
