Separating work and personal phone?

I have a personal phone and a work phone, and even though they are separate numbers, everything is synced the same to both. They both receive my messages, emails, etc. How do I set them up as different phones, and still use one computer to sync them? I don't want my work contacts on my personal phone and vice versa!

Get separate Apple ID's for each phone...must be verified email addresses...then use these ID's for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. You can continue to use the same Apple ID, on both phones, for iTunes content. As to your contacts, create groups on your computer & then only sync whatever group you want on each phone. iTunes will then keep track of everything, by device, including separate backups.

Settings---> Mail, Contacts, Calendar---> Accounts
Check which one you want on the phone.

Since ios8 my work and personal phones are receiving the same calls simultaneously. They are both linked to my Apple ID. How do I turn this off?

Duplicate calls on two devices?

That is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off:
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

Syncing between a work and personal iPhone help

I have both a work and personal Iphone. I want to know if there is a way share my calendar between phones and some apps of my choosing without sharing all photo's and contacts. Is this possible? If so, how would i accomplish this?

You can try sharing your iCloud calendar with yourself as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694. If you work phone has an iCloud account, you can privately share your calendar with it, giving your read and write access. If it doesn't, you can publically share it, giving you read-only access. This should give you the ability to view the shared calendar alongside your work calendar without merging the two.

Seperating work and personal iphones

I need to seperate work and personal iphones
At the moment I have a work phone set up with my personal itunes account and a mix of work and personal contacts. I now have a personal iphone and need to get personal stuff off the work phone onto the new personal phone. I have set up a work itunes account and signed out of my personal one and into the work one on my work phone but the apps I downloaded with my personal account are still there - how do I transfer the apps I downloaded with my personal account onto my work phone onto my personal iphone?
Also I want to edit the contacts on both phones to remove the personal contacts from my work phone and the work contacts from my personal phone. There are hundreds of work e-mails so is there a fast, effective way of doing this either on the iphone or using itunes contacts on my laptop?
Thanks,
Rachel

Oh, this is a messy question - like asking how to organize your closets - and then asking how to move your existing organization to fall into the new, correct one.
I can tell you the desired end state - your organization should look like two different people - you at work, and you at home. The "you at home" should have all your apps, personal contacts, music, etc. The "you at work" should have only your work related stuff.
You should do this by having two distinct copies of iTunes, probably under two different logins on at least one (if not two) computers.
How to move your existing comingled stuff into this end configuration is a more difficult issue.

I want to set up my business phone separately from my personal phone, but want to keep my personal iTunes music. Can I do this if I have separate Apple ID's?

There is no need for seperate Apple IDs.
Connect the device to the computer.
Select what is desired to sync.
Sync.

Separate Work and personal CONTACTS (not BB Balance)

Is there an alternative way to have separate CONTACTS (work and personal) in a BB Z10 for us whom do not have BB Balance. I just want this for the contacts, and perhaps the text messages, I do not need the security and all other features that Balance or a BES provides... If not, do you guys know if BLACKBERRY is planning on doing this for a future update? Seems like a very useful feature...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Open Contacts, at the bottom - All, Search, select 'New Group' create Group Name then add contacts.
Suggest you name them 1business and 1private etc., then the groups will be at the top of the list. Existing contacts will just be duplicated in Groups.

My power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like it usually does but it's not turning on

my power button is not working and my phone doesn't wanna turn on i've tried to charge it so it can turn on like i usually does but it's not turning on

Hold down on the home button simultaenously holding on the sleep wake button (power button) hold it for more than 15 seconds this will then shut down the device.
If the device is already shut off do this same sequence to see if you get an apple logo. If you get the logo allow the device to login. Write back if this does not resolve your issue.
Good luck Friend.

I have virgin mobile iphone that i found,the power button doesn't work and the phone is now saying disalbed what can i do to fix it

I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

Z10 Work and Personal partions not separate

Was recently set up on the new BB10 BES. Balance was turned on however my work email and person email accounts show up on both partitions.

Hey lzedvin,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Work emails and Personal emails will appear in both work and personal places. To view the work place emails on the personal side you still need to place in the password.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Syncing contacts between work and personal email accounts

Device:
Model: Apple iPhone 5s
Storage: 16GB
OS: iOS 8.1.2
User has multiple email accounts (both work and personal) on the iPhone 5s. How does a user manage adding personal contacts to iPhone without personal contacts syncing to a work email account contacts list?
Issue: User adds personal contacts to their iPhone and those contacts are now showing in their MS Exchange work email contacts list.
Troubleshooting: User went into individual personal contacts that were synced to MS Exchange work email contacts list- selected name- scrolled down to
"Linked Contacts"- selected Exchange (with name of contact)- selected edit- scrolled down to delete contact. This seemed to remove the contacts instantaneously.
Also
Went into Settings-Mail Contacts and Calendar- Scrolled down to Contacts- set Default Account to personal email account. Tested adding a personal contact and this did not seem to sync up to the Exchange email contact list.
Is there any other way that would prevent personal and work contacts from merging when a user uses the same device to manage both accounts?

When you go into Contacts - you should see two groups - work and personal
If you uncheck the work group - you will be left with the personal contacts to which you should be able to add

Separating business and personal contacts

I recently moved to a BlackBerry Curve from a Palm Treo. Our company used to use Goodlink to sync data from Outlook to my device. In order to keep my personal contact information private I created a separate contacts folder in Outlook which did not sync with my company's servers. I then used PocketMirror to sync the extra file to the phone. It wasn't the cleanest solution as I had business contacts in Goodlink and personal contacts in the phone's contact file, but it worked.
I want to keep my personal contact information off of my company's server. Is there any way to do this with the Curve?

Hi,
So why Agenda is working fine and doesn't synchronise private meeting ?
I am sure that field "Private" is missing in BB Software !
BB, please fix-it !

Separate work and personal Apple IDs...how to share music

I have my own Apple Id for my home computer and personal iPhone. At work, they've assigned me a new one for my work MacBook Air and iPhone--they reside on my employer's equipment, but I use the work phone all the time.
I'd like to put my music, from my personal MacBook and Apple/iTunes ID, on my work phone, which has the second Apple ID, which I can't change.
Any easy way to do this?
Thanks...

Your devices are automatically registered for Find My iPhone using the iCloud ID that they are using. If you want to track your spouse's device(s), you will have to go to icloud.com and sign in with her iCloud ID in order to do so (or sign in with her ID using the Find My iPhone app on your device).
