ICloud caused contacts from one iPhone to sync onto other - possible to undo icloud sync?

My mom and I set up iCloud on each of our iPhone 4. My whole family has only one apple ID, and now because of that, my 250 contacts have been synced on to my mom's iphone along with all of her previous contacts. On my mom's iPhone, if she turns off Contacts in the iCloud menu in Settings and click "Delete from My iPhone," will this delete ALL of the contacts (mine + her previous ones) on my mom's iPhone, or just the 250 that just synced from my iPhone?

Your contacts should be on your computer.
You should have been syncing them with your computer from day one.
have you failed to do this?

    You should have been syncing your contact with your computer all along.  Just sync them from the computer to the new iphone.

  • How do I sync contacts from one iPhone's backup to brand new iPhone?

    Hi all,
    I recently just lost my iPhone 3G, it was stolen and I could not get it back. The only "copy" of my iPhone 3G and it's contacts are in the backup file found in my iTunes.
    fyi, My iPhone was formatted to sync with my iTunes on Mac.
    The question is: if I were to purchase a brand new iPhone, can the contacts from the backup file in iTunes be sync to the new iPhone? If it is possible, how do I do that?
    Please help!

    When you get your new phone & connect it to itunes, you will be given the option of restoring from backup or setting up as new. Select restore from backup. This must be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content. Make sure you have at least ONE entry for contacts & calendars in whatever supported application you use for that purpose on your computer. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs NOT BE EMPTY. When you do sync after restoring from backup, you'll get a merge or replace prompt regarding your contacts & calendar, select merge.

  • How do I move contacts from one iphone to another iphone?

    I was trying to set up my settings on my iphone after doing so all my contacts disappeared. I have my old iphone. Is it possible to transfer my contacts from my old iphone to my new one? If so, how?

    The iPhone is designed to sync contact info with a supported address book application on your computer. With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP, or the with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book application, or with the Entourage address book - MS's equivalent for Outlook with a Mac.
    Before syncing contact info with a supported address book on a computer that is not currently being used - the supported address book is empty, you need to enter one contact in the supported address book - make the contact up if needed, which will be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info with the supported address book, which you want to select.

  • How do I get contacts from one iphone to another?

    I broke the screen on my iphone and I had to get a new phone. I need to get the contacts from my old phone to my new one. Is there a way of doing this without typing all of the numbers in?

    Several ways:
    You can plug your old phone into your computer, back up it's data, and restore your new phone from that backup, and it will basically behave and have everything your phone has. The only bug is that you have to manually put your videos apps and music on the phone. Don't worry, when you redownload your apps, they will still have all their data from the backup.
    You simply email them over wifi by opening each individual contact and pressing "share". You just eamail them to yourself and open the email and download them on your new phone.
    If you are running iOS 5 on both iPhones, you can try iMessaging them to your new phone using the same share button and pressing "message".
    One of the simplest ways for iOS 5 users. Use the iCloud. Just turn iCloud on for contacts on both iPhones and make sure it is off on all other iOS devices. You just open your Contacts app and they should all appear there. If you would like to then turn off iCloud on your iPhones you may, just be sure to press the keep contacts button when turning it off so you don't lose them.

  • Why are my contacts from my iPhone not syncing?

    I'm entering new contacts in my iPhone, and after syncing, those new contacts are not in my address book on my Mac.

    I recommend storing your contacts in iCloud and using iCloud contacts both on your Mac and your iPhone.

  • How can I transfer my contacts from one iphone to another without iCloud?

    I have an iPhone 4S that has quit working properly. The wifi option is grayed out and it will not let me get online. It also has some other weird things going on. I've tried everythign to fix it, to no avail. Therefore rather than paying $200 for a (refurbished) replacement, I'm going back to my old 4.
    I was told by the AT&T guy not to restore to my new phone because there is a chance that this is software related and it will cause similar problems on my 4. How, then, do I transfer my contacts to my old 4? I can't do it via iCloud because I never set it up on my old phone and it is now inactivated (and can't use wifi).

    Your contacts should be on your computer.
    You should have been syncing them with your computer from day one.

  • HT1386 how do i transfer contacts from one iphone to another iphone?

    I have an old iphone that I need to transfer all my contact to my new iphone.  How do I do this?

    If you have iCloud on your old phone, sync your contacts to iCloud (Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On).  Then set up your new phone with the same iCloud account and turn on Contacts syncing with iCloud.  If prompted, choose merge.

  • How do i remove my wife's iphone contacts from my iphone?

    As a family we have three iphones and two ipads. So I recently bought an imac to make things easier instead of our old pc. but in the process of setting it up, i imported all my contacts from my iphone and ipad onto the icloud and as a result, they appeared in my husband's iphone - he had around 100 contacts, and now has around 3,000 with mine too. I am now in serious trouble with my husband as he cannot find his own small contacts quickly. How can i remove my contacts from his phone? and will he lose all his contacts if he deletes them all from his phone?

    Are you using the the same icloud id.  you can also look to the right on this forum you'll see More Like This - there might be a solution.

I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.
