ICloud Contacts on 2 iPhones

So, my mom and i had thought at the beginning when she got her iphone that we could share an apple id and icloud. But now our cintacts have suddenly merged. My mom has business contacts and I have my friends (which both of us dont want to loose).
Question: If i turn off contacts on icloud will she loose her contacts that she was entered into her iphone or will I loose mine? Or will it just delete mine off of hers and hers off of mine?
Also, if I want to take her off of my apple ID and make her a new one will she loose any of her things on her phone like music or pictures?

You set up the same iCloud account on both phones and turn on Contact Sync...
Maybe you'd like to explain what the problem is.

If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or a PC with Outlook 2007 or 2010 synced with iCloud, you can. Connect your iPhone to the computer and sync it

ICloud deleted all my contacts off my iPhone

I just created an iCloud account to see what it is and to help me store all my information and stuff. I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4s. On my phone, I clicked sync everything on my computer to the icloud, and iCloud put all my contacts from my computer onto my phone. I realized that these were really old and never used contacts, so I decided I didn't want contacts to be synched using the iCloud. I turned off the button in my iPhone settings that synched contacts with my phone, and an option appeared: "Keep on My iPhone" or "Delete from My iPhone." I thought this just meant if I want to keep on my phone the contacts taht were put there from my computer, or to remove the contacts from my phone that were just put there. I clicked delete from my iphone, and now suddenly every contact on my phone, regardless of if they were already on there or if they were just put there from my computer via iCloud, was gone.
Basically, I thought I was deleting only the contacts that were just put on my phone from my computer via iCloud, but I actually deleted every single one of my contacts on my iPhone.
My last iTunes back up of my phone is from September, so thats 4-5 months of contacts I'd still not have.
Is there any way I can get these contacts I just accidentally deleted back?
Any response would be helpful,
Thanks.

Thanks, yeah I called Apple Customer Services and the guy said that the only thing I can do is restore my phone from my latest iTunes backup.
The screen I got when this debacle happened literally said: "What would you like to do with the previously synched iCloud contacts on your iPhone?" It's so poorly worded, I thought it was just referring to the contacts that were just put on my phone from my computer, hense the "previously synched iCloud contacts" but when I was on the phone with the guy he was saying that I misunderstood the screen.
I don't think I'm crazy, they could have worded it better and made it more clear they meant ALL contacts deleted, not just the ones synched from iCloud.

HT5058 How do I get the icloud contacts information moved over to the exchange contacts?

How do I get my icloud contacts on my iphone moved into my exchange contacts at work? I have originally uploaded the contacts from my personal blackberry to the iphone then later we got exchange setup. How do I get the contacts from icloud loaded into exchange? I have access to them on the phone but not on my outlook exchange at my work computer.

Some icloud contacts changes when using mail in lion

I'm using icloud contacts on my iphone ios6 ipad ios6 and macbook 10.7.
All contacts are sorted by forename and last name in one line like -Steve Jobs- in one line
Some of my contacs changes when sending mail from mail 5.3 on my macbook.
It adds an extra last name and my icloud looks like -Steve Jobs-Jobs-.
and the contact gets sortet by letter j insted of s.
My mail is setup to sync gmail (mail only).
I have no other sync for contacts than icloud.
I located the problem to my mac so I deleted all accounts and restarted mail.
But promblem remains.
Is it possible to completly delete mail and all settings from libary and start fresh?

I wouldn't think that would matter. Does Keynote still work on that Mac? Try this: Drag such an attachment out of a mail message, select the file, then do a Finder File > Get Info. What is the setting for "Open with"? If it's not Keynote and you'd like Keynote to open all .pps files, select Keynote in the list, then click the "Change All" button.

I was setting up an iCloud account. I set it up and the wanted to delete it. When I did that, I inadvertently deleted all my contacts off my iPhone. I don't think there was any backup. How do I get my contacts back?

Hi. I was setting up an iCloud account on my son's iPhone. We set up the account, but then decided to delete it. When we did, we accidentally deleted all the contacts from his iPhone. There was no backup done yet. I tried backing up his contacts in verizon backup, but that didn't work. Can anyone help p,was. He lost hundreds of contacts

If you deleted the account by going to Settings>icloud, scrolled to bottom of page and tapped Delete Account, then all you have to do is go to the same page an sign in using the same ID; be sure Contacts is turned on.

All you have to do is enable iCloud on your phone and turn notes on. They should automatically appear on your phone.

Iphone 4 Voice Control not working Properly after iCloud Contacts sync

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem. Recently I enabled iCloud settings to sync contacts from my iPhone to iCloud.
It asked me that do I want to merge the contacts from iCloud onto this iPhone. Obviously I clicked yes.
What it did was actually not sync all but around 1/3 of my contact list and erasing the remaining. The other 2/3 of my contact list wasn't on both iCloud or iPhone.
So I decided to restore my iPhone from the backup i took just before enabling iCloud. But I forgot to switch off the iCloud settings for not syncing Contacts.
Although I recovered all my contacts from the backup, my voice control has stopped recognizing my remaining 2/3 of the contact list that did not actually sync.
It can recognize all the contacts that were synced with iCloud, but not the ones that got erased.
After backup restore, iCloud settings was switched to off state and I did not dare enabling it back on.
Has anyone observed this behaviour? I just cannot seem to get the voice control recognize the remaining 2/3 contacts at all. I tried renaming the contact that it recognized to some other name and it still does not recognize the new ones.
Please help me find out the reason for this and how can i fix it?

I'm getting this too. It's very slow and apparently thinks "Call Sue Newport" sounds like "Call Halfords" or "Call Halyards" and, most surprisingly "Call First Great Western".
I was wearing my Jawbone Bluetooth headset so it's nothing to do with background noise.
I tried the new "What time is it?" command which works but takes about 10-15 seconds to activate.

How do I sync my address book contacts on my iphone and clear all other contacts on my phone (issue with icloud?)

When I purchased my iphone 4S, I had all my old phone's information transfer over to my new phone.
I organized my address book on my mac powerbook and then hoped to sync my computer's address book to my phone - in hopes of erasing all the junky contacts on my iphone and only having the my address book contacts on my phone.
I did all I could trying to make this happen (through iTunes) but it hasn't erased/replaced all of the contacts on my phone - I believe since my phone is synced to icloud. So I'm stuck with a very unorgaized contacts list on my phone...
How can I make it so I only have the contacts from my address book on my phone?
Thanks in advance,
Suzanne

Also, I just noticed that syncing my phone effected my calendar in that all my events now repeat. So instead of having one event schedule on a day, I have two of the same events scheduled for the same time.
It seems as if I can't sync my phone to my computer through iTunes and iCloud.
Help???

Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
So problem solved.

HT204053 If I add a new iCloud account to my iPhone 5, will I be "locked out" because I'm using a new Apple ID to do it? Do I have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? Want to separate calendars/contacts for 2 iPhones now using 1 iCloud a

If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud

How do I stop icloud contacts from overwriting or superseding iphone contact entrees

If i enter a new contact on my Iphone it eventualy gets wiped out (Deleted). i assume this is because it does not exist on the cloud. If i enter a new contact in the cloud, it emediatly apears on my Iphone. Nice! i like that, but i want to be able to enter new contact info on my Iphon too and have it appear in the cloud contacts. Is this posible?

If you are trying to restore your contacts from an iCloud backup, you have to follow the steps in this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. This involves disabling your internet connection just after your device restarts as it is backing up, then turning off iCloud syncing on your device and keeping a copy of your contacts on it when prompted. Then you can restore the internet connection, allow you device to re-connect to iCloud and finish restoring. Then delete any contacts from iCloud.com*, turning contacts syncing on again in Settings>iCloud and choose Merge at the prompt.
* If the contacts on iCloud.com are not contained in the backup, you can download them as a vCard as explained here before deleting them: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard. Then you can import this vCard back to your iCloud account as explained here: iCloud: Import a vCard after you're done merging the restored contacts from your phone as discussed above.

IPhone 4S (iOS 7.1) - iCloud Contacts/Calendars dissappearing

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you guys had this same problem. I searched around Google and in this community, and it seems like you guys also do. I'm going to create a new thread with more details below..
Basic Info:
iPhone 4S (Chinse (CN) phone)
iOS 7.1
I'm an American working in Shanghai, China.
Issue:
At random times and at least 3 times a month, my contacts and calendar events would dissappear.
When it disappears, ...
I see only phone numbers in the Phone application and when someone calls me.
My Contacts app only list like 5 out of my 230+ contacts, I dont' know why only these 5 were not affected. This is my iCloud contacts.
My Calendar is empty and no longer shows which Calendar I can hide or show. I had 3 different calendars (iCloud, Personal, and Work calendars)
After about 2 hours (or even longer), the Contacts and Calendars will slowly return as it tries to download from the iCloud server (I can see the loading animation in Calendar and the contacts slowly showing up). Sometimes it doesn't return after 2 hours and I have to manually force it by turning OFF and ON the calendars sync.
Already tried:
Restarting the phone (soft shutdown and hard shutdown by Home + Power)
Already checked to make sure iCloud, Contacts, and Calendars is ON in Settings
Already tried turning them OFF, wait about 10 minutes, then turn it back on. Sometimes it loads back the data, sometimes it doesn't. Right now, I have my work calendar missing.
This bug happens seem to happen only when I'm on Wi-fi. Didn't see it happen on 3G yet. Not sure, but it seems to happen when I switch from 3G to Wifi automatically when I got home. Need to confirm this.
Tried syncing to iCloud to see if it comes back, 1/3 of the time it would.
History w/ this bug:
I had this phone since iOS 6.
This bug first appeared in iOS 7, which also happened at least 3 times a month. I reported this directly to Apple Support, but not sure if they read it.
In iOS 7.0.x, this bug stopped reappearing. Seems like they heard us and fixed it. I never had this issue again.
In iOS 7.1, this bug resurfaced and now is haunting me again.
Other cases?
My iPad 3 iOS 7.1 is from Hong Kong, doesn't have this bug and I use the same Wi-fi connection as my iPhone.
My girlfriend has an iPhone 5 iOS 7.1 (US) and iPad mini 2 (CN), she didn't experience this issue.
My colleagues has Chinese phones just like mine (iPhone 4S w/ iOS 7.0 and iOS 7.1), didn't have the issue.
Searching in Google and this community, it seems people are expering the same issue.
I am doubting that this bug has anything to do with my hardware or my settings. I feel this is a iOS software issue. Please let me know what I can do to help as I've already tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,
Bruce

Within Contacts, tap Groups at top left. Make sure all contact groups are checked to show, then tap "Done" at top right.
Within the Calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom center of the screen. Tap on Show All Calendars.
