One of my iPhone4s allows linking a contact to other contacts. How do I get my other iPhone 4 to do the same?

I am in the process of setting up new contacts in the icloud. I have two iPhone4s, both with 5.0.1 iOS. One allows me to edit a contact by linking that contact to another contact, the other iphone Contacts doesn't give me that option.

Make sure Contacts is switched on in Settings > iCloud on both iPhones.
Sometimes toggling (Contacts) off then back on then restarting the devices can help.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

We have an Ipad and two Iphones. We have an internet radio program we like. One of the phones plays it fine the Ipad and other Iphone which sync on the same computer will only play a short time and we can't reconnect again until the following week? They a

Hi there. We have two iphone 3gs' and an Ipad 2 all operate on IOS 5 but one of the iphones syncs on another computer. The other two sync on our other computer. Those two will only play internet radio for a short time and then they stop playing the program while our third will play all the way through and we can always get back to the program. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this happens? Thank you

Here's how to do it.
1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts and etc.

Messages to contact also appearing on my wife's Iphone? We share the same Apple ID

Hi - My wife and I share the same Apple ID to sync our iPhone. Ever since I downloaded Messages Beta my wife gets my conversations. What's also happening is when I text her from my iPhone's iMessage, It comes across to her phone as 2 texts. when I text her phone and she texts mine it shows our conversations as if she was replying to herself. All the texts are blue and to the right side of the screen.
I went ahead and uninstalled Messages Bata to see if that fixed my issue. It did not. I got the same exact result, and now when I send it shows a red ! implying it did not send but it really did send. I have also tried to reinstall Messages Beta and use a different Apple ID to send from my Mac but did not fix the issue.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

"We share the same ID."
There's your problem. If you/she use a different email address in Settings > Messages > Receive At (on the iPhone), then you should stop receiving each other's texts.
If you want to change the email on the Mac (if you reinstall Messages Beta), open Messages, then click on Messages on go to Preferences.
Then click on the Accounts tab, and look under the text "You can be reached for messages at:"

How do I get a new iPod Touch to have the same music setup as my old one?

I have all the songs on my ipod touch in my itunes library, but there are also a lot of other songs I don't want, so I can't just sync the new ipod. I could drag them all individually but that would take hours.
I was thinking I could get an ipod-to-itunes music program, and then just do my whole ipod, then transfer all of those songs to my new ipod, then delete the songs I had imported to itunes. But that's expensive.

The post by Zevoneer will offer some suggestions on how to do this:

I am using an iphone4. Suddenly one day my factime app does not work anymore!! How do I get it to work again, Could someone please me?

Try a reset or restart of the device. If it still does not appear on any of the home screens and cannot be found in a spotlight search, restore the device.

HT204150 How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?

How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?
Perfernece for contact to change. Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account? Is only the autofill changable?

If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

How to rename your device in iTunes

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

I recently deleted a contact from my phone book and when I send a text the same contact appears.. How do I remove it?

I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail

Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail ?

Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
1. Create a Gmail Account.
2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!

My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

Obvious question, but have you got 'Find My iPhone' set on both devices? Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone.

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

One of my iPhone4s allows linking a contact to other contacts. How do I get my other iPhone 4 to do the same?
