My husband plugged in his i phone to update it and all his numbers disappeared and were replaced by mine?, my husband plugged in his i phone to update it and all his numbers disappeared and were replaced by mine?
is there anyway we can get them back??
all help appreciated.
thank you
Does your husband have signed up to iCloud and does he have a backup of his iPhone, either in iCloud or iTunes? Then he can restore the data from the backup as described in the user guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf, see Appendix B: Restoring iPhone.

I recently bought an IPhone 4S. My husband activated it for me through his ITunes account. Subsequently, I created my own Apple account. Here is the problem. When I attempt to access ITunes or Apple apps my phone still shows my husbands email address and requests his password. I want to get that changed so it reflects my email address and password but can't seem to do so through the settings mode.

I don't know what really happened but it said Restoring to Jeff's phone and now my stuff is all gone! Help!
No.
The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone. The former does exatly as provided - the backup for the other iPhone is transferred to the new iPhone replacing all data on the new iPhone with the data included with the backup for the other iPhone. -
I plugged in my husbands iphone to my laptop and synced it to mine. I used my own apple ID. Big mistake. Now he has my name, email address,contacts etc on his phone and lost his... how do I correct this?
You'll have to set up his mail account again. To change the name, follow this article: iTunes: How to rename your device
After that right click on it in the device list and choose backup. A manual backup will be made, no sync process is included. When the backup is finished you should find it listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

There are 2 phones in my name. One my husbands the other mine. We have the i5 phone which worked very well before we updated iCloud a few days ago. Firstly both our messages and emails appeared on each other's phones and now I've noticed that we both have each other's contacts making a very long list on each phone and us both getting each other calls. I turned off the messages and emails in settings but can't remove the contacts. I tried deleting my husbands contacts from my phone but then they got deleted from his phone too. Any ideas anyone?
All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

Hy please help...
My husband purchased an iphone at xmas and evrything was fine until i purchased 1 yesterday . We both use the same email address which is linked to our itunes account (ithink) I registered mine yesterday and all my husbands contacts came on to my phone, so i deleted them and he lost them all on his phone :-( now if he adds or deletes anything i get it or the other way round please please helpIf you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which meant that when he synced his iPhone, all his apps and music appeared on mine as well, and vice versa. This was annoying, so I created my own account and have changed the Apple id on my phone. However, when I try to sync it on iTunes, no devices at all show up in the sidebar. What am I doing wrong?
Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID. -
My husband just got an iphone. I've had mine for a while. We use the same email address so I thought we could use the same apple id and password. But now it appears everything on my phone also shows up on his phone and vis versa, even "Notes." Not good. How do I unlink them?

I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings. One number is checked(mine) and other is not(my sons). However when someone sends me a test it goes to both numbers. Mine and my sons. How do I delete his number so that he no longer received texts intended for me.
The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

I added my husbands new iphone to my itunes acount......all my contacts were on his phone so he delated them and added his own. Now my contacts are on my phone and mine are gone!!! Please tell me I can get them back and how?!?!?!
Unless you have a pre-DH backup of your iphone and/or Contacts to restore to, you can add this to your list of grievances when consulting a divorce attorney.
Or get him to buy you a nice dinner at least! -
My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine. How do I get my account back? Tried plugging it into his computer again. No prompt to change account back to mine.
Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

Long story short. plugged my i phone into my computer and my sons itune acct. came up ithought it was mine and hit restore now i have all his stuff and mine is gone. turns out i never backed up. Help. I have a new ipad which had 238 photos and it only would share 190 with my phone. I pretty much just deleted his stuff, reset to dfault to get my clock and calendar back. The biggest problem now is my old icons show up but wont launch so I figured I coul delete them then re install them but HIS apple account keeps showing up with his account info. How do I change that to get my name and password back on there?
Stupid I know but I cant take it back.Hi there cz1959!
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your data. It sounds like you need to sign into your own Apple ID again on the iPad, then download your previously purchased iPad apps again. We have an article on how to do exactly this, and it can be found right here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Also, you may want to consider signing up for a free iCloud account and turning on automatic backups. This will allow you to back up your iPad in the background and without connecting to a computer, so that this issue of data loss will be minimized if this sort of issue ever happens again:

I hope this information helps resolve your situation. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I have an Iphone 3gs. My husband just bought an Iphone 4. As far as contacts, when he first connects, will he lose his phone numbers on his phone and will mine be loaded on instead? How do I prevent this?
