I sync my icloud account on 2 iphones

I sync my icloud account on 2 iphones and now have duplicated contacts and want to delete them from icloud account but keep my numbers..need mass delete..

You can delete the iCloud contacts on your device by going to Settings>iCloud, turning Contacts off, then choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  This will remove them from your phone but not from iCloud.  If you want to remove them from iCloud too, go to icloud.com and sign in, open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left sidebar, click a single contact, then press Control-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted now) and pressing your Delete key.

  • I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone).

  • Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

    can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes and no.
    There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
    If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

  • How can I access documents from multiple iCloud accounts on my iPhone?

    I have a business and a personal life that are both heavily influenced by my Apple products and all stay in sync via iCloud. My only issue is that in order to access both personal and business iwork documents on the go, I have to carry two iphones with me - which really is inconvenient. Of course I could just use the business iphone but then I would not be able to access my family photo stream which is very important to me.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would think that there would be a simple solution to my issue but I need your help finding it.
    Thank you!

    There has to be a better solution than deleting and switching icloud accounts on my iphone each time I need to look at my work documents...

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

  • How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone?

    I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone, like deleting my apps, contacts. Please I need your help.

    All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.

  • My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • TS3988 i cannot delete my icloud account from my iphone.  i cant get icloud off the phone

    I got an icloud account on my iphone and now I want to delete the icloud account but I cannot seem to get rid of it.  It will not delete and cannot find a way to do it online either. Help!

    Did you try going to Settings>iCloud, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Delete Account (and if you want to keep the synced data be sure to choose Keep on iPhone when prompted)?

  • Request iBooks sync with iCloud account not iTunes accounts

    In my family there are five of us. We all have some form of an Apples product (iTouch, iPads, iPhones). We share the same iTunes account but have individual iCloud accounts. The issue we have with ibooks is the syncing. Having iBooks sync with iCloud account instead of the iTunes account will solve some of the issues that we are having. me and my wife both have iPhones and iPads, the kids have iTouches and iPad. Unfortunately when one individual change something it will change on the rest of the devices.

    That seems simple enough but that's not what I am trying to accomplish.
    Here is the breakdown...
    I have a family of four.
    We all have iPad, iPhone and a MacBook or iMac.
    Like to read the same books (from time to time). We also like to take our own notes.
    The issue...
    Syncing bookmarks and collections and notes between each member of the family personal devices.
    This is why I made this post to request for apple/developers to have iBooks sync with iCloud accounts instead of iTunes accounts.
    I have tried every avenue that I can think of to make this request for change since iBooks syncing has been released.

  • Can I access to different iCloud accounts on my iPhone?

    I want to know if i can log in from different iCloud accounts on my iPhone without any trouble or if i will only be able to change my icloud account once? Im going to log in my icloud account on my brothers iphone to see if i can access to my  whatsapp chats from there. and also  wanna check if i can access to my whatsapp chats without having my chip inserted since my iphone was stolen.. i also tried to download programs that can download and extract your icloud backups but so far no one has worked... thanks

    You can set up a secondary account in icloud where you can sync some of the services like contacts and events.  Google "icloud secondary account" for details.

  • I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

    I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How do I delete and create a new iCloud account on my iPhone, when I cannot delete the old account off my phone!

    I have given my 4s to my wife, she has an iCloud account which uses her work address, she has now left the company and we want to start a new iCloud account, trouble is we cannot delete the old account, we have created a new iCloud account but the iPhone won't let us log into it as it only recognises the old version, we can't access her email anymore to reset the account. Have tried all online help. We restored the phone through iTunes

    Ah thanks Razmee however there is NO option to delete the iCloud account in settings!

  • Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?
