I have two phones with one apple id i have lost most of my contacts from one of them

i have two phones with the same apple id but i have lost most of my contacts from one phone

Apps are tied to the Apple Id they were purchased with. So any updates for the Apps will ask for that apple ID to update.
The only way to prevent this is if you remove all the Apps that were purchased with your ID from the iPad.

HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

HT4211 I have two phones with verizon and we keep having issues with texts coming in on the wrong phones

We have two phones that are on verizon, share icloud, and all of a sudden, our phones keep having our texts sent to the other phones. we recently switched service from at&t. It happened early on, and now it's happening again. What do we need to do for this to stop happening?

That's because you are using the same iCloud account for iMessage on both phones. The best way to resolve it is to log out of iCloud in Settings/Messages on ONE of the phones, and create a new iCloud account just for that phone and iMessage. Leave your other settings sharing the iCloud ID so you can share music and apps, and can trace both phones with Find my iPhone.
The alternative is to go to Settings/Messages and change the addresses in "Send & Receive" so they are different for the 2 phones.

Can I have two phones with the same contacts?

I'm going to be travelling back and forth between Canada and the US and I'm getting a second Iphone that will have a US #. Is it possible to have transfer my contacts from my existing iphone and my new US cell phone. The phone is or will be unlocked so I can buy a pay as you go with any provider but I would like to have all of my same contacts on both phones. It would be a big time saver to have both phones set up more or less the same way.
Thank you,
Yves

Yes. Just use iCloud. Sign in with your Apple ID, and turn on contacts. They will be kept in sync on both devices.

How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

Hi,
I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
3. No right click works on track pad?
4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.
Regards,
Khagendra Limbu

1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
Thanks anyway.

HT4913 I have two ipad with different apple ids, is it possible to access to itunes match from both devices

How to associate an ipad to an apple id so bot ipads can access to the itunes match subscription?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
For both iPads to use the same iTunes Match subscription, they would both need to use the same ID for iTunes.

I have two ipads under the same name/account. How do I airplay content from one to the other if there is not a distinguishing difference between the two or use face chat?

I gave my 2yr old my 16gb ipad 2 when I upgraded to a 64gb ipad 3. They are on the same account so that I can share certain apps between them, but because they consider themselves one in the same I can't use airplay or face chat with my daughters ipad. How do I do these things?

Airplay doesn't work between two iPads so you don't need to worry about that, however, you can change the name of an iPad in Settings > General > About > Name.

You mean for an iPhone 4S? You can't. Yo can only update an iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.3.
The only iPhone that can currently download iOS 6 is an iPhone 3GS.

I have two phones on one apple ID. After one updated yesterday on icloud it automatically took my contacts off and put the other ones on there. They still show up if I actually type them in when texting but not in the list.

I have two phones on one apple ID. My son updated to icloud last night and when he did it took my contacs off of my phone and put his in there. When I go to text the numbers I can still find but when I click on the contacts they do not show. Is there a way to change this without restoring the last back up?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.
