HT201269 How do I keep the contacts in two iPhones separate?

How do I keep the contacts on two iPhones separate? At present, when I add a contact to my iPhone 4, it appears on hubbies iPhone 4s, If I delete it from his phone, it also deletes from mine. Help please!!

It sounds as if you are both using the same iCloud account and are syncing via iCloud. You need to have separate iCloud accounts.

How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4. The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4? The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

My partner has my former iPad 1, I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Gen III. I want to copy my contacts list to his iPad. We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC. How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I need to know how to back up the contacts on my iphone 3g in case my phone breaks or something, any help?

Can I back up iPhone contacts to pc? In case my iPhone is lost, broken or something. Or back up the contacts with iTunes online, is it possible?

While contacts are included in the iPhone backup, you should be syncing your contacts with a supported contact application on your computer or over-the-air with a service like iCloud. Your question states you have an iPhone 3G, yet your profile indicates a 4S. What model iPhone is it?

Help! New to Iphones

Hi I suspect if you can get your Photos onto a Window laptop through a USB connection that recognizes your phone as a camera you will eventually be able to move them through iTunes sync to your iPhone.
Good luck

How can I restore the contacts on my iPhone 4s (from iTunes) without 'syncing' my phone?

I just got a new iPhone 4s about a month ago - backed everything up to iTunes before transferring onto my new phone, which worked great. However, my mail was not working correctly (gmail), and after trying to set it up multiple times, found out about the whole issue of gmail not supporting 'push' with the iphone anymore... Got that issue figured out, but part of trying to set up my gmail account found me syncing my contacts with my gmail contacts.
I have not kept gmail contacts up to date for a few years, and when my phone synced with google contacts, it basically wiped out all of my current contacts and replaced with outdated contacts from google. I know that my contacts should all be saved to iTunes, but I'm afraid to sync and have the same thing happen again. I don't want to restore my phone from iTunes if I don't have to, because I don't want to lose other things outside of my contacts that I've updated since the last time I backed up my phone.
Is there a way to restore just my contacts? I've got a lot of contact info/numbers over the years that would be very difficult to replace, and I don't fully understand the 'sync' process... Thanks for any help!

Syncing contacts is bi-directional. If you elect to sync contacts...again, selected on the Info pane in iTunes...whatever contacts you have in whatever supported application on your computer will be merged with what you have on your phone. If whatever application, on your computer, is empty, then all contacts on your phone will be erased. Never sync to an empty application.
Contacts are included in the iPhone backup, but the first thing done when you perform a sync is an iPhone backup. This means that whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup will be overwritten with whatever is currently on your phone.
So, if all you want are whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup, you need to re-read my initial post.

How can I keep the selectedIndex of two JLists the same?

I have two independant JLists. I have one button to add items from two textfields to the lists. I also have one button to remove the selected items from the lists. However because the items in both JLists are related I want to make sure the selected index of one is always equal to the selected index of the other. HOW!

How do I sync calendars/contacts on two iPhones?

I've been doing a lot of googling and haven't found a good answer to this yet. My wife and I each have an iPhone and we would like to sync our calendars (via push ideally) and contacts (fetch is good enough). Is this even possible? She already has an exchange account set up for work so that also throws a wrench into things. Any suggestions? This is driving us nuts...i can't believe there isn't a simple solution to this...

Ok, because Apple's sharing features are total crap, here's how i've got it "working". I have a MobileMe Family subscription. I set up one of the accounts as a "shared account" and I shared it's contacts (Address Book > Preferences > Sharing) with the other accounts. This also allows me to add that account to the iPhone for just contact updates. Then I subscribe to a Google calendar on the Macs and iPhone.
I think Apple needs to evaluate the sharing capabilities or lack-thereof for many of their apps. Photos (iPhoto), music (iTunes), calendars (iCal), contacts (Address Book) etc should all be more agreeable. If you get a chance (and agree) complain to Apple about their sharing problems. Give them some feedback!
