Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

Or remove you from his, it's moot because You and He are the same account, either get him his own (they are free) or live with this cozy but privacy compromised method.

I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad 2 both using the same Apple ID how can I FaceTime the iPad from the iPhone?

I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad 2 both using the same Apple ID sometime I'd like to FaceTime the iPad from the iPhone to talk to my wife while at work how can I get it to do this it always says unavailable.

Naw I figure it out without all that had to go into the FaceTime settings and only use the phone number on the iphone and only use the Apple ID on the iPad works great now no need for two Apple ID or any signing in and out.
Thanks for your help though

I have been using the same Apple ID for 2 iPhones. How can I create another Apple ID to distinguish them?

Or, go to the App store, sign out of your current account. Try to make a purchase and it will ask you to sign in, or create a new account.
You can do it through iTunes as well.

I have update my iphone 4 and my Mums they both use the same apple id and are both backed up to icloud now her contacts are on my phone.

Hi I updated my iPhone 4 and my Mum's iPhone 4 to software version 5.0. They both use the same apple id and they are both backed up to iCloud. Once I updated my mum's phone i noticed that her contacts are now on my phone i deleted some of them but then she noticed that they had been deleted off her phone to. Has anyone got any ideas please.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your password for logging into iCloud cant be different than your password for your Apple ID if you use that Apple ID to log into iCloud, it sounds as though you are using 2 accounts.

3 people have been using the same Apple ID for years. How do we separate the information and create our own Apple IDs?

Brand new to the community. I'm confused as to how all of this works, but since we're using the same Apple ID, we seem to be getting eachother's information synced to our phones including contacts, music, etc. I'd like to separate our accounts, but how do we retain the appropriate information for each individual?

On person can keep the current account and the other two can migrate their devices to new accounts. To migrate a device to a new accoun, start by saving 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 iCloud 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 new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted . Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. If the same person has other devices to migrate to this new account, on the other devices they can save the photo stream photos to the camera roll, delete the iCloud account, choose Delete from My iDevice (since the data is already in the new account), the sign into the new account.
Once you are all on separate accounts, you can go to icloud.com and delete any data that you don't want in your accounts (such as other people's contacts).
If you're getting each other's music it may be because you have automatic download turned on, which automatically downloads purchases made any other device signed into the same iTunes ID. To prevent this, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Music off under Automatic Downloads.

We've been using the same Apple Id in the family. Can I change the ID so each person has their own so we don't end up with each other's data? How would I do that without losing what is on the Itouch now?

My family has the same Apple ID, which is a problem when we don't have the same data on our products. Can we have separate Apple IDs for each person? If so, how can we change it and not lose what we currently have stored on our Ipod Touch/Ipod/Iphone? I just restored my son'e Itouch and it has Cloud. Will he delete my husband's contacts (from his Iphone) if my son deletes contacts on the Ipod Touch?

HT5622 I have two iPhones using the same Apple ID. I want to change the ID on one of the phones without changing the other. Can it be done without affecting the other devices that use the ID.

How can I change the Apple ID on one phone but the other. Right now they both use the same ID.

Sure.
For the iTunes/App store...Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown, sign out...now, sign back in with the ID you want to use. Be aware, any apps obtained with the old ID can only be updated using that ID, as all apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them.
Fir iCloud: Settings>iCloud...turn everything off, including Find My Phone. For Contacts/Calendars, you'll be prompted to keep the data on the phone or delete it...your choice. Then, scroll down, Delete Account. Now, set everything back up using the new ID.
This won't affect any data stored at iCloud.com, or any other devices.

Both phones use the same apple ID. How do I change it on 1 phone?

I want to use the family sharing feature with the new IOS 8. My wife and I have always shared the same apple id. I sent her an invitation to join the account but since we share the same user id, I get a message that reads "You are part of XYX family. You need to leave your current family group before you can set up or join a new one".
How does she leave the current family group when we're both set up with the same apple id?

Family sharing is designed to share content between different apple Id's. Not between different devices with he same ID.
If she is using your ID, then you are technically inviting yourself. which is pointless, as that Apple Id already has access to its own content.
You can go to http://appleid.apple.com and Create the new Apple ID for her.
Then sign out of the relevant services on her phone and sign in with the new Apple ID.
On her Phone:
Settings->iTunes and App Sores->Apple ID->Sign Out
Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID
Settings->iCloud->Sign Out
Though If you are using one Id and you have no issues with sharing one ID and all the content, I see no need to create a second ID just for a sharing feature you technically do not need.
Family sharing is geared more towards people with different ID's that want to share purchases, calendars, and other content form a single common ID, while still keeping access to their own Apple ID's and its contents and purchases.

The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab. As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately. This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.
Cheers

I just have just downloaded Mountain lion and I wanted to listen to music on my computer screen with my HDMI cable plug into my back of my screen and I wanted to talk to dictation on my regular standard iPhone headphone and I was wondering if it's all possible change your settings Mac Mini to set it so you can listen to those both like your headphones and use the mic in your headphones and there's no settings that would change in the Mac Mini so do there is a flaw in this system or I am just really really really really dumb.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

I need help finding a low cost way to fix the water damage done to my phone. But I do not have any insurance at all. Please help

Bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty replacement for $149. Or, find an iPhone repair shop near you and see how much it will cost to fix your phone.
