ICloud is putting my mom's contacts on my phone since we have the same apple id. Should I make a new apple id just for Icloud?
I want to be able to update all my stuff to icloud, but I don't want my mom's stuff constantly syncing with my phone too. If i make a new account, will that change what account i use in itunes and the apple store?? would I be able to have two accounts? or can you have two different users per icloud?
because what are they supposed to do if a family shares an apple id?
We upgraded my Mom's iPhone 3Gs (New Bootroom) to iOS 5 and connected My dad's Apple iD to my Mom's iPhone. My Mom and Dad's contact lists merged. Then today, when my mom was at work. She started deleting my Dad's business contacts from her phone, thinking that it would just be deleted off her phone. But, they were deleted off of my Mom's iPhone 3gs. My dad's iPad 2, iPhone 4, Intel iMac and his Windows Work computer. My dad is very frustrated. I am wondering if there is any way to do the stuff below, Please help we lost 100 contacts that are very important business contacts.
I am wanting to get the missing contacts back and then seperate the contacts list and then creating my mom another Apple id and add her contacts to her new apple ID and then have so my Dad's Apple iD has his iPad 2, iPhone 4, iMac and his Windows Work Computer and my mom's Apple iD have her iPhone 3Gs (New Bootroom) with both contacts lists seperated.

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

All my contact are being copied to my friend's iphone and i also am getting his contacts on my phone,when i delete a contact it also deletes it from his phone,we are sharing the same apple ID. How can i stop our contacts from being shared between us
Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

We have two iPads. mine is the first one purchased. I opened iTunes to put some photos from the Mac to my wife's iPad. I plugged in my wife's iPad. Both ipads have the same apple id and password. iTunes synced everything from my iPad to my wife's iPad. Now we have two identical iPads looking like mine. Everything on her ipad seems gone and replaced with mine, all her recent holiday photos, emails, settings, etc etc seem gone.
I'm toast!

CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too. When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?
You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

hi i have the same apple id for my iPad and my mac. my iPhone has a different one. My i cloud on my mac seems to be the iCloud on my iPad, if that makes sense so its not sending my photos from my mac to the cloud. how do i change it to upload mac pictures instead? thanks
Did you go into Settings > Store and then tap your old ID, sign out and then enter your new ID?

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?
No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:
Understanding Home Sharing
iOS- Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)
iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer -

I just updated my phone to iOS7 and me and my mom have the same apple ID, so now for some reason I get all the text messages that are sent to her iPhone on mine..? Help please!!
Stop sharing an Apple ID. That is the cause.

Basically wondering if multiple devices should share the same ID or each to get their own. Such as, how it affects Facetime, backups to iCloud, etc. Thanks. Sorry for the long title.
Hi matrixxzero,
In my opinion, you want to use the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID on both devices. That is exactly what iCloud is designed for - to keep devices with the same Apple ID in sync. Your Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Notes, Photo Stream photos, and Documents will all be kept in sync if you have those options set up on both devices under Settings>iCloud.
Unless you have some reason to not want to have the same information on both devices, then going with a single ID on both is the way to go.
Cheers,

HT204150 Contact merge results in contact lost with two iOS iPhones with the same apple ID
Two days ago it has synced both my contact address book into one and deleted some important contact information from both lists. Is there a way to UNDO / recreate the lists?
Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro. However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks. What setting is wrong?
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back. -
My wife and I have the same apple ID. Can I change my iCloud without deleting everything?
So I don't know what to do here, I want to change my iCloud to be my own but when I press on the delete button I am warned that everything will be deleted. However I would like my wife to retain the iCloud account on her device. Will it delete everything, on what will be her own iCloud account, if I delete it on my iPad?
Create a new Apple ID for him: Create an Apple ID
Sign out of the old Apple ID and in with the new Apple ID on his devices in these places:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iCloud > Delete account > Sign back in with new ID
Settings > Game Center
You can keep using the same Apple ID for purchases.
If you want to have separate purchases:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores -
Why can't I have the same apple ID for iCloud and iTunes?
After down loading the latest upgrade on my 5s, the iCloud Apple ID (which is an email address I don't use) keeps asking me for a password that I don't have. When I change it to a new password (I've done it 4 times) it keeps going back to the password is incorrect. I've tried to restore the phone to factory settings and that still doesn't work. I have no problem with my Itunes ID or password so I don't know how to change the iCloud ID or password so it can be the same ID and password for iTunes. Can someone help me bc I'm about to go crazy!
I'm not entirely clear about which Apple ID you are describing. Is this the ID for Settings/iCloud? You say it isn't an email you use. But was it an email you ever used? Or is it one you don't recognize? If you used it in the past you can reset your Apple ID to it temporarily (https://appleid.apple.com), log out, then log back in with the new one. If you forgot the password you can attempt to find it at https://iforgot.apple.com. As a fallback you can contact Apple Account Security at Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.
If you are not the first owner of the phone and the Apple ID is NOT one that you have ever used the phone is Activation Locked to the previous owner, and only the previous owner can unlock it. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support -
Need help my contact are merging together if they have the same name
If I enter in a new contact with the same first name my phone automatically links to another person with the same name in my contact. This happens even if I put a different company name so I know the difference between Jeff at car dealer and Jeff landscaper. Can anyone guide me how to fix this please.
1. Objects don't have names. The only name a <tt>JButton</tt> might have is the '<tt>name</tt>' property which is set using <tt>setName(...)</tt>
2. Add an anonymous <tt>ActionListener</tt> to the <tt>JButton</tt> in the same method that you create it. In general, and unless hugely justified by the program design, avoid 'switchboard' listeners that require to identify the source of the event.
