My iphone and my daughter's iphone contacts merged with ios7

Mine and my daughters contacts merged when we upgraded to IOS7, we use the same apple ID but have seperate phone numbers. How do we fix this without deleting everything?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

How do I merge my iphone calendar appointments/alerts with my laptop pc calendar appointments/alerts? And how does it handle duplicates?
I do not need anything to change on my email that is working fine on both.

gspielman,
Help has arrived to assist you with getting those contacts on both your devices. The Verizon cloud service is definitely a great tool to use and you can also use Apple iCloud as well. When you sign into the Verizon cloud on your iPad does it give an option or message to restore?

How do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

how do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

If Outlook already has a munch of contacts, do I need to delete them all (all but 1 unique) to sync correctly?
I have and iPhone ith up to date contacts, and I have outlook with some of the same contacts with older info. When I sync, outlook is OK, but I get a lot of copies of the same contact on my iPhone. Now I'm not entirely sure which are the up-to-date contacts and which aren't (and there's hundred of contacts to go through).
...For future reference, is there a way to to send the iPhone contacts to Outlook without adding crap to my phone? Amidst the sync process I noticed and option for conflicting files and choose the "always use phone" but still wound up with a contact mess of mixed old and new on the phone.

How to move iPhone contact list with custom ringtones to OS X server Contacts?

I have recently setup a new Mac Pro, Mid 2012, running Mavericks OS X Server. I was previously syncing through iTunes on Snow Leopard, 10.6...
Due to the changes in Mavericks WRT iTunes address book syncing, I want to setup Contacts in Server, as I do not want to use iCloud. I tried using the Address Book sync on my MacBook Pro, but that doesn't appear to save any custom ringtone data. I setup Contacts in Server & I moved the current address book to Mavericks, but dragging the contacts into the Server list in Contacts generates warnings, "Some contacts could not be copied to the server" and then sometimes starts duplicating the groups and contacts. The system log has some errors that seem related (system & user munged):

So the question is:
How to does one move or import iPhone contact list with custom ringtones to OS X server Contacts? ... and will Contacts save/preserve the ringtone settings?
Thanks

lsof is the standard tool for listing open files, although I'm not quite sure it'll do what you want.
It will list every open file used by every process on the machine, including many you don't expect. I don't know how it will present files opened by network users - whether they'll appear as owned by the file sharing process or not at all. Definitely one to try.

Contacts merged with device that shares the same iTunes account as me

My husband and I share the same itunes account on our phones so whenever he downloads something new it downloads on my phone as well and vice-versa.
Just recently, after iOS 6 update, we noticed that his contacts merged with my iPhone & my contacts have merged with his. Also, he is getting notifications from an app that we share... But the notifications are from MY friends on facebook. The app is called voxer and whenever someone (from my Facebook friends) sign up, my husband gets the notification. Which is really weird because im not even signed on to Facebook on his phone. Somehow my information has merged with his phone and his mine. Why is this? Is there a way I can make things back to normal? Thanks in advanced.

Sounds like you may be syncing your contacts to the same iCloud account on both phones if your contacts are merged. You can share the same iTunes account for purchasing apps and music, but to avoid merging data you sync with iCloud you need to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone.
To do this, first decide which phone will be changing accounts. On this phone that will be changing, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the other person's data from your account (such as deleting your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone; when you're finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
Don't know anything about your problem with voxer notifications.

My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

My old email that using register for apple ID cannot access/check any mail because that domain already deactivate.
So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

HT1692 Can I clear my contacts off y iphone, and then sync with iTunes and return them back to y iphone, my IPHONE keeps retaining nos that it shouldn't, I delete them off, during edit, and they just return and added to the new contact along with the new

I Really would like some help, this problem has been with me for a couple of months,
i seem to be having problems with my contacts.
WHen I edit a contact, and pop in a new contact number, and delete the old number. It looks like it has been done. when I go to write a message or go back into the contact, it has the old number there again, I have deleted off the computer contacts as everything is under I cloud anyway. It seems fine on my iMac, but still retains the old nos, and other info, mainly on my IPHONE. Would it be useful to take all contacts off my phone, and reinstall them from my iTunes, or back up of whatever.. I am a nana, so please. Be gentle with me..
Regards
Jan .

Deleting iPhone contacts & syncing with MobileMe

I had been syncing iphone contacts to a mobileme account and then wanted to instead sync them to another mobileme account (the main account in a family). This is a problem since you cannot delete all the contacts on the iPhone (I had 2000 of them.) and iPhone syncing with mobileme does not allow you to replace contacts on the iPhone with what is on mobileme. (iPhone allows only a merge which would duplicate contacts and add many I no longer wanted.) After considering the "solution" offered by a "Genuis" which was to reset the iPhone and start over which is a painful process to reorganize the apps and login all apps that require it, etc. Instead I developed the following procedure that worked great (This was with Mac OS 10.6.8 and IOS 4.3.5):
1) Sync address book on Mac to make sure mobileme is up to date.
2) Backup all the address book to an address book archive and/or select all contacts and save in a vcard file (File -> Export)
3) Uncheck sync of contacts in MobileMe (Apple -> System Preferences -> MobileMe -> Sync tab)
4) Select all contacts in Address Book and hit delete (Edit -> Select All, then hit delete)
5) Select all groups in Address Book and delete (select first group, hold shift and click last group, then hit delete)
6) Connect iPhone and sync. Go to info tab in iTunes and select Sync Address Book Contacts, then Under Advanced, check Replace Information on this iPhone - Contacts. This will transfer contacts (none) from Mac to iPhone which will delete all existing iPhone contacts. Click apply and then sync.
7) After sync, disconnect iPhone and verify there are no contacts on iPhone.
8) On iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Accounts -> MobileMe (login if you haven't done so), turn on Contacts (to sync with mobileme)
9) In a few minutes, the contacts on the iPhone (none) will be merged with the desired contacts in MobileMe and the contacts in MobileMe should show up in the iPhone Address book - This completes the iPhone.
10) On the Mac, go to Apple->System Preferences->Mobile Me->Sync tab and recheck Contacts. Click Advanced, Reset Sync Data, select only Contacts and transfer contacts from MobileMe cloud to the Mac, and click Replace.
11) In a few minutes, all contacts and groups from MobileMe should show up in the Mac Address book and you are done.

Yes I did select merge.
Did it 2 times without anything happening on iPhone or MobileMe.
Third time it deleted my contacts on the iPhone.
Is there no option to tell it which direction to do the merge/sync?

Uploading video from iPhone to youtube with iOs7

Just upgradeded iPhone 4 to to iOs7; now I can't upload my video that I shot with my iPhone to YouTube, what gives???

I've been searching for hours on this...found something that worked for me.
1) I never had a YouTube account prior to yesterday, so the only 'user id/account name' I had was the @gmail.com account So this is a brand new YouTube/gmail account, and I've never uploaded a video to YouTube.
2) I COULD log into the new iPhone YouTube app, but couldn't log in via the Photos app to upload to YouTube.
3) I did first try the 2-step authentication that other people posted, and it didn't work.
I THEN found this info on Google Groups that helped.
After doing the 2-step authentication, log into YouTube on your computer (not your iPhone) and click on Upload.
The answer from Google Groups said it would then prompt you for a Username.
It didn't for me...it did prompt me with a new window for some Google+1 settings, etc. But once I got past this window to the upload area I stopped.
I then went to my IPhone to Photos to my video to upload to YouTube. This time when I was prompted with my username/pwd... I used the same @gmail.com account plus the 2-step authentication pwd I had been trying all along.... AND THIS TIME it authenticated and logged me in!
I'm not sure if I could do the same without the 2-step authentication.
I'm guessing I just had to take the step to 'complete' my account on the website by actually getting to the Upload area????
Hope this works for you or for anyone else trying!

How exchange contacts merge with iOS contacts?

i use iOS 8 Contacts on all of my Apple devices. I also have an Exchange account for work on them as well. If I turn on sync contacts, will it display the work contacts along with my existing contacts Without integrating them? I want to be able to turn my Outlook contacts off without losing my personal contacts. Also will my personal contacts then sync to my work Outlook?

All of your contacts from all of the accounts you have loggedinto on your iPhone will be displayed in Contacts. Your personal contacts will not sync to your work Outlook. Just be sure you have the right account selected in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars the default account for newly added contacts. If you have duplicate contacts, you can link them together by going into the contact, tapping the Edit button in the upper right and swiping down to the linking section. Linking ony affects how the contacts are displayed on your phone.

IPhone contact problems with 2.0

There is a new contacts icon on the main page of the phone, if you click on it and try to scroll or click on a letter to get to those names the phone is really hesitant but it finally caches up...zzzz. But then when you click on a contact it becomes hesitant again....zzzz. Then if you click on a regular 123-456-7890 number it dial it, but if the number start with *67123-456-7890 it refuses to dial it or in the case you need to dial a number 123-456-7890,,,1234567890 like to get to your voice mail or access another service the phone won't dial it. This only works the "old way" click on phone icon (bottom left) then click contacts then everything works fine. I have restore the phone twice and no change.

I shut down itunes, disconnected the iphone and shut down and restarted my laptop. That seemed to fix the problem. Not sure what the technical definition is, but it worked. If this does not work, make an appointment to see a genius at the apple store asap.

Update iPhone contacts Photos with Facebook

Hello all. Maybe I'm just missing something, but here's what I want to do. I do not want to sync my facebook contacts onto my iPhone, that's far too many contacts I don't need. Instead what I want to do is update the photos on my phone's contacts to their current facebook ones. Most of the ones right now are out dated, no longer current profile pictures. Any way for me to get the current ones? I've tried using the update contacts button, but it doesn't pull their new profile pictures.
Thanks for any help.

Try uninstalling the facebook application and re installing the application. Make sure once you are setting the facebook application back up to choose the option sync with contacts.
