I don't want my contacts to sync my iphone contacts on my daughter's phone. How do I keep them separate?
I have an iphone 5. My daughter and husband still have a 4. We all have separate contact lists and would like to keep it that way. How do I do this? I just updated my daughter's phone and now she has everyone's contacts.
Sign into your iCloud account on icloud.com and check your contacts. If they are there, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts on to download them to your iPhone. Then, if you don't want to sync contacts with iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.
When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch. When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices. How can I keep them separate?
go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

When I fill in forms, suggestions (previous answers) pop up. I don't want this to happen.
e.g. when I began typing my email address to register, firefox gave me the address as a choiceDo a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

How do I sync my iPhone to more than one computer, I have a iMac and a MacBook. Can I sync my phone to both computers?

I want to use one apple id in my macbook and iPad but i don't want pics to get sync and show in both devices, how should i stop this ?
Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).
Cheers,

Hi,
I have my iphone 3GS setup to be able to backup and sync with my computer over wifi. But I want to be able to backup to my sons computer also.
The things is I don't want to have to sync to his computer first to do this. Is there a file or something I can move from my computer that is setup to his that would let his see my iphone over wifi?If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you. -

How do I sync my iPhone contacts with the Mac address book
I just bought a Macbook Pro and want to sync my iPhone contacts. How do I do this?
Use the usb cable that comes with your iPhone to connect it to your Mac. Read the directions that came with the iPhone. Post in the iPhone forums where the iPhone gurus are. Google... Look to the right of your post in the "More Like This" column...

Adressbook sync with iPhone contacts
I got this new iPhone 5 and restored my iPhone-4-contacts on it. Then I made the facebook-sync and now I have all the added data (pics, email-adresses, ...) in my iPhone-contacts.
These added data will not show up in my adress-book on my Mac (Mountain Lion). What did I do wrong?
Sync with iCloud is on.
Thanks, GernotHi Shady!
I don't think that clearing the sync history is the only cure to this problem. At least it does not help for me. I believe that the problem with contact syncing is not monocausal, hence the cure with the sync history won't heal the manifold of root causes.
My situation is as follows:
What works great when syncing back and forth between the iPhone and the addressbook.app
. *Adding new* contacts or updating contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Editing or updating existing* contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Adding new* contacts +in addressbook.app+
What does not work at all:
. Choosing any existing (created before using or syncing with iPhone) contact and sync it with the iPhone
I sync only a certain group in addressbook.app, not all contacts.
The only way to cure this problem for me so far: Adding a new contact on iPhone or addressbook.app, which is a pain given that all the contact data is already present.
Interesting enough this was not a problem from the beginning. During the first couple weeks or months I could choose any of my "old" contacts and grow that group as I saw fit and everything worked flawlessly...
Very disappointing... -
How to I sync my iphone contacts to icloud without losing contacts?
how to I sync my iphone contacts to icloud without losing contacts? I am afraid to turn "on" the button to sync to the cloud because I am not sure if the contacts from my phone merge to the icloud or is it that the icloud information merges to my phone? My phone has the most current data and at one point I did have the contact syncing to the cloud, but then turned it off. Now, I want to turn it back on.
How do I know I won't lose the data on my phone only to be replaced with old data from the cloud?it does not seem to work for me. I have backed up my iphone 5s with a back up from my previous 4. the back-up process works fine, I can see all my contacts in the phone but then I activate icloud (on which there are no contacts) and all my contacts disappear instantly... I tried 5 times now and everytime the same result. I'm considering to stop using the cloud all together.
I've tried to manually back-up to icloud immediatly after restoring back-up on the phone, it didn't work.
please help ! -
