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.

Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

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

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. The only way is for you to have a separate user account to log into on that computer.

HT201493 I have 2 iphones on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

I have 2 iphones (mine & my wife's) on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

I am having the same issue.
There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!? "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number. I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

My daughter in law keeps getting texts on her phone that are going to me she is on my iTunes account how can I fix this

My daughter in law keeps getting my texts on her phone she is on my iTunes account how can I fix this problem without turning off my iMessage?

her iPhone is probably also signed in with your Apple ID (iTunes account) for iMessage. Have her check Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on her iPhone. I'd also have her check Settings>FaceTime. If your ID is there have her sign out.

HT4436 we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

Some users create another Apple ID just to use for FaceTime and Messages, but I have 4 devices using both apps and I use one Apple ID on all four. I added another email address on the other devices as the contact at email address and kept the Apple ID email address on my iPad as the contact at email address.
Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Add the email address, Apple will verify it. Go to the InBox of that email account, read the email from Apple, follow the instructions to complete the verification. Go back to Settings>FaceTime and uncheck the Apple email address and check the address that you just added. You can also tap on the blue arrow next to the Apple ID email address and remove it in the next window if you like.
Do the same thing in Messages and ...obviously you need another working email address. You can use your wife's own email address on her iPad as the contact at address.

I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts?

I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts? Is there a way to transer from my main account their new accounts? And can I share music from my account with them?

You can't currently transfer content from one account to another account. As long as the tracks are on the computer's iTunes that they use/sync to, and your account is authorised on that iTunes, then they should be able to continue to use them.
