My husbands iPhone settings, apps, contacts are now on my iPhone

I plugged in my iphone to my computer to download my music to my iphone.....and somehow (I have no idea how) my husband's iphone synced to my iphone (all his contacts, pictures, etc.). Is there a way to get my iphone settings, apps, pictures, etc. restored? I tried to sign into iTunes and it only shows one device-- his. Am I in trouble? I am new to this and frustrated because I don't understand how this all works. Thanks, in advance, for your advice.

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

How do I restore deleted contacts? I had backed up my iPhone on iCloud. Later used the application 'Contacts Duster' to delete or merge around 1900 contacts. Today I updated to iOS 7.1, after which I found many of my contacts are now missing. Please help!

I had backed up my phone on iCloud. Later (on 11March '14) I used the application 'contacts duster' to delete/merge nearly 1900 contacts. Today(ie 13 March '14) I updated to iOS 7.1 after which I noticed many contacts are now missing. Is there any way I can now restore my lost contacts? Also, can this be done without a backup computer?

Hi Thebuddies,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like some contacts have been lost. I know losing data can be stressful, and it's good that you had a backup in iTunes.
If you receive a message that there is not enough free space to restore the backup, I recommend going through the steps in this article:
If you can't back up or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes - Apple Support
Start with "Copy your backup" and go through the steps including "Free up space."
Note that with this method, any content or data added to your iPhone since making the backup will be removed from the device.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

I have the iphone 4 and for some reason my contacts are now gone. how can i get my contacts back.

iphone4 and my contacts are now lost. how can i get them back

Contacts (if you've been using your phone as recommended) are on your computer (outlook, address book) or in a cloud service (Google, mobileMe). Just synch them back.

Hi Skydiver119
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible?

Just started getting about 300-400 emails per day from several fraudulent Addresses to my icloud email and am not sure how to stop receiving them, or create a rule to have them all go to Junk.When unsub, I get more. Emails from my contacts are now Junk?!

First, don't unsubscribe. This only tells the spammer that your email address is valid and they will send even more.
If this is only being sent from a few specific email addresses, you can set up a rules on icloud.com similar to the image below to send them to the trash. This describes how to set up a rule: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a3f8a.

I upgrade to Iphone software version 7.0.4.All of my photos and contacts are now missing.

I upgraded my iphone to the software version 7.0.4
since the upgrade all of my photos and contacts are missing.
Any suggestions on how to retrieve?

So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
I've tried restarting the phone.
I've tried resetting the phone.
I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

Deleted contacts on my imac and contacts are now missing on my iphone

I noticed that my iphone contacts have automatically appeared on my works imac, so quickly deleted them all today.
I did not know that my imac in work was synced to my icloud account and my iphone. Which has deleted my contacts on my iphone.
I tried to backup my iphone from an earlier backup from my home imac (not icloud) and the contacts are still not appearing.
I can find all the contact data on my imac via my library folder but do not know how to add them back onto my iphone.

I have tried that approach.
I have tried to backup from a previous imac backup (not icloud) and still nothing.
I found my contact data files within the source folder on my mac but cannot figure out how to add them to my contact app

How do I get rid of the three SEO apps that are now on my computer?

I'm not into internet marketing-building websites etc., at this time. I would like to remove the SEO apps that are on my desktop etc. I believe there are three of them, and I don't need them.

To: the-edmeister,
Thanks for your efforts. Close, but no cigar (lol). I'm very familiar with deleting programs from the Programs directory. However, this app wasn't to be found there. Seems it's a tool bar that you get free from SEOBOOK.COM. There's three parts to it: RankChecker, SEOQuake, and SEOBook. I'm going to contact SEOBook to see if I can solve the problem. I got the initial offer from Mozilla, if I'm not mistaken. Otherwise I wouldn't have looked at it. It's a great resource if you're into building sites and marketing on the net. Thanks, again, for your reply.

I have the iphone3g and for some reason my contacts are now gone. how can i get my contacts back

please help

You probably have "iCloud...." on. Uncheck it.
If the contacts are "gone" and they still are in your Addressbook on the Mac:
connect the 3G with the USB cable,
click on the iPhone icon in iTunes,
on the "Info" page "Advanced" part (scroll down) check "contacts" under "replace this information on my iPhone" and the click the "Apply" button at the bottom of the page: it will just this one time overwrite the contacts database on the iPhone with the Address book on your mac....

Set up email through exchange server - Contacts are now deleted.

I connected my phone, 3.1.3 to my work exchange server for email and outlook. Of course after doing so, I have now lost all my contacts. How can I retrieve them?

That's what happens when you share the same iCloud account. First, migrate his phone to a different iCloud account using a different ID (you can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want). To do this, on his phone save any photo stream photos that he wants to keep to his camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If he are syncing notes with iCloud that he wants to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to him so he can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in his new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; this won't effect your phone), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create his new account and choose Merge to upload the data. After doing this, he can go to icloud.com and safely delete your data from his new account.
Then, if your contacts were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, you can restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841. This involves turning off your wifi after your phone restarts during the restore process, then saving the contacts on your phone and deleting them from iCloud prior to turning your wifi back on and allowing the restore process to finish. You can turn off your wifi either by pulling the cord out of the WAN port in your wifi router, or by simply unplugging it.

HT4859 I shared itunes account with my daughter, had never synced my phone with computer, synced with computer and chose daughter's phone instead of create new phone, all phone contacts are now gone replaced with daughter's - is there no way to get contac

I shared itunes account with daughter's phone, never synced my phone with home computer through itunes, synced tonight with itunes but choose her iphone and it restored all her info on my phone, all my phone contacts, text messages and photos are gone - I had auto backup to icloud daily - is there any way to get phone numbers and texts back off icloud?

If you have been backing up to iCloud your camera roll photos, text messages and other data and setting should be contained in the backup. Restoring the backup to the phone should recover them.
To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

Since allowing my upgrade to happen, I am unable to double press and shut off apps that are now eating up my battery time. It doesn't "wiggle" anymore to allow me to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a new user and when the phone asked for the upgrade.. I have had a lot of problems. First it eliminated all of my contacts. Also, I use to be able to close open apps to reduce battery usage by holding my finger on the apps until they "wiggled" allowing me to shut the active app off. I cannot do this any more and now my battery time is lasting about 5 hours tops. This is without me using any apps other than answering calls. Can someone please help.

Contacts Issue - Several Contacts are now sorted under the '#' sign

I had an iPhone (original) and recently upgraded to the 3G version. When I completed my first sync, the first thing I wanted to do was call my buddy to tell him I had completed activation. I couldn't find his name in my contact list. I looked and looked, and couldn't find him. Using the new contact search, though, returned his name. Weird right? Well then I realized that at the very bottom, under the '#' in the Alpha Sort-Scroller on the right, was about 150 of my 250 contacts.
Why are these contacts sorted this way? They were not sorted this way on my old iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated!

I was able to fix this by doing the following:
* Export my whole address book as vCards
* Quit Address Book
* Move/delete the folder "~/Library/Application Support/Address Book"
* Restart Address Book
* Import the vCards
* Resync iPhone
Hope this helps!
