HT204053 I have 3 I phones on my Icloud account, How do I seperate the contacts so they do not merge together?
I have (3) Iphones on my I cloud account, How can I seperate the contacts so they are not all download to every phone
The whole idea of having one iCloud account is that all devices connected to that account can be synced together. If you don't want them syncing contacts, go to Settings>iCloud and turn off Contacts. Then each such device will have its own local contacts list. You may be given the option to move current contacts (from iCloud) to the local database. Choose what you want.

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

Can I set up two iCloud accounts on my IPAD3 at the same time? If not how do you sign out of one to sign in to another?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream. -
HT1692 I have 2 phones on 1 iTunes account. Can I separate the contacts
I have 2 phones on 1 iTunes account. Can I separate the contacts
it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only -
HT204053 I have one apple ID and 2 iCloud accounts...is there a way to consolidate these accounts?
I have one apple ID , but two icloud accounts....not even sure why i have 2 now....might have happened when i got my iPad last year. Is there a way to consolidate the two icloud accounts without losing my contacts or other info?
Each iCloud account has a separate ID. You can't have two accounts with the same ID.
If you want to consolidate them, choose the device with the account on it that you want to abandon, then save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with the account that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your other account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign into the account you want to merge with and choose Merge when prompted.
You cannot move iCloud email accounts between iCloud accounts so you will have to leave it behind. You can set email forwarding to the new email account, or add the email account back to your devices as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCoud, signing in to the account and enabling Mail. Email in this secondary account will only be fetched periodically as push email is only supported in your primary account. -
I backed up and sync'd my phone and lost my contacts on the phone, how do I get the contacts back onto the phone?
If you restore then you will lose everything on the phone including pictures etc
Have you backed up the phone previously to where your documents, pictures and contacts are saved? -
I have 3 phones on my Itunes account, how do I unsync my contacts. Did I screw up by using ICloud?
When I added a third phone to my Itunes account I messed up somewhere. I want to unsync my contact's list. Actually I'd like to unsync everything and have each phone independent. But the contact list is the most important. All my contact's now show up on the other two phones and theirs on mine. When I delete from my phone it delete's from their phones. HELP!
It sounds like you have activated iCloud on all three iPhones using the same Apple ID. Just go into the settings for iCloud and sign out. This will not affect your iTunes and App Store account settings. This only affects iCloud. You will still be able to share apps and media acquired from the iTunes Store and App Store if you are set up to do that.
iCloud is a service that lets you sync data between devices and computers. If you want to take advantage of that to sync data between your computer and your iPhone, for example, then log in to iCloud using the same Apple ID on the iPhone you use and the computer you use.
Each iPhone should use a separate Apple ID for iCloud services that way you don't run in to the problem with all iPhones syncing to the same data. -
Since I updated to iOS 7.0.4 on my iphone 4S, I can no longer see addresses or notes in my contacts on my phone. The information still exists in iCloud online. How do I get full contact info onto my phone?
There is another problem which may be related. My desktop computer at work is running Windows 7, and I was recently upgraded to Office 2013. Outlook is not showing contacts on my computer any more, just in iCloud. However, when in iCloud, it does included addresses and notes, so I don't think this is caused by the same error as the iphone problem,
I have refreshed, reinstalled and rebooted, to no avail.I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail. That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine. Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook. I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

I have a 5s phone that has been updated to 8.0.2. I have the latest update for iTunes. I had all of my music in the phone before the upgrade to 8. I tried to re-sync the phone and now there is no music in the phone and it will not sync with iTunes. any solutions??
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Last, backup to iTunes and restore from backup see:

For some reason I am unable to download apps. I have downloaded several apps in the past but all of a sudden my I Phone 4S will not download. I have totally reset my entire phone but that didn't work. My account shows that I purchased the app but it just appears as a grey square on my home page. Even tried other apps but nothing. Any suggestions?

I read the instructions about restoring to a new iPhone. But, I do not see how to selectively restore content. I am not showing two backup in my backup list. The new back up does not have these needed contacts. The old backup does. What should I do?
You cannot selectively restore files from an icloud backup. It's all or nothing.
If the old backup does not show, then for whatever reason it's no longer available. -
