Sharing contact list with another iphone

How do I keep contact lists separate on 2 iphones. Hubby and I use the same apple account for itunes, and now that we have iphones, if one of us enters a contact, its automatically on the other's phone. Is there a way to turn that off so we have our own contact lists?

Same thing was happening with me and my daughter. Go to Settings, then iCloud, and then turn off Contacts. This solved our issue.

How can I share contact list with another MAC

How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

Hi,
There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
(It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

How is work "Get Shared Variable List with another computer " ?

Hi all
I can't receive the list of Shared Variables from another computer .
From localhost computer I received it.
Why?

First the stupid questions...
Are you sure the variables have been deployed on the other computer?
Are you sure you have the right IP Address?
Could your IT department be blocking you?
Could Windows firewall be blocking you?

HT2486 can i share my contact list with another apple id?

I have figured out how to share my calendar and reminders with my secretarys apple id account, but how do we share our contacts through icloud???

you cant do it from the ipad itself
the best way would be to add the contacts to whatever you will set her ipad to sync with like coogle contacts or outlook or .......
or you can set her ipad to sync them up to icloud connected to her appleID

No synchronisation contacts + calender with iMac/iPhone

Hardware:     iMac 10.9
                      iPhone 5 7.0.3
Software:     iTunes 11.1.2. (32)
Hi ,
Problem:
I tried to synchronized my iMac contact list with my iPhone
- and my calendar from my iPhone with my calendar on my iMac
However both apps mentioned above don't change their content.
Setting by iTunes: - Option: automatic synchronied, if iPhone is connected
What I did:
1.     connecting iPhone via USB with my iMac
         iTunes started
          synchronized
          I checked my contact list on my iPhone - no changes at all
          (no changes regarding new groups and deleted one as well as no changes with the added and deleted addresses)
          I checkt my calendar on my iMac also no changes - the additional appointments didn't show
2.     tried to synchronied three or four times
         used a different USB
         started the iMac new
3.      also synchronied over WLAN
=>     always the same result.
The last time I synchronized my iMac with my iPhone without problems was before I installed Maverick on my iMac.
I am now at the end of my wits
and the last two times I god so much friendly and helpful advice
so I hope someone might have an idea, what might be wrong
BTW
I did some checks on my hard-drive with mac own software regarding the access rights
It showed always problems with the iTunes access rights and even if I did repair it
and check then, the same problems were/are still there
BUT this problem was always there and despite of it, the synchronization worked always fine
so my guess the problem might be caused due my upgrade to Maverick
Thank you, I am so hoping you can help me

I solved my question
If someone has the same problem.
The syncronisation is only possible over iCloud.
You need an active iCloud account for your mac and your iPhone.
In Settings on your iPhone you can choose which app you want to syncronise.
then you can syncronise your choosen apps over iTunes.

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.

Keep a backup from contacts (Address Book>File>Export>Address Book Archive) and Calendar (iCal>File>Export>iCal Archive) of your Mac and then press "replace".

How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone?

How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone? Thanks in advance.

What do you mean share?
It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this. Bump is one such app.
There is no functionality in iOS to do this. iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few.

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?

HT4356 Is there a way to print a contact list from an iPhone?

Is there a way to print a contact list from an iPhone?

Another way to do this is to use Contact Sheet (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id894488957?mt=8) which can print your contacts and pictures or it can export them into an Excel file. You can print all of your contacts or just a select group that you choose. You can even share contacts and only include the fields you want, so, for example, if you want to share email addresses with a new mom's group but you don't want to share home addresses, you can create a contact share file (VCF) that only includes the names and email addresses of the members of your new mom's group!

Sending to a shared contact group with subgroups fail

Hello all,
I am hoping someone can help me with this one, as I have researched non stop and cannot find an answer.
SCENARIO:
Outlook 2010 (with all the latest updates)
Exchange 2010
Windows 7 x64
We are a group of 15 users. All 15 of us add a shared mailbox used for communications into our Outlook client so we can access and monitor the entire mailbox, including contacts.
When trying to send a communication to a Contact group that is in the shared mailbox contacts, it will work fine unless there is another contact group within that group (subgroup). The email will bounce back with the following error:
[email protected] #550 5.4.4 ROUTING.NoConnectorForAddressType; unable to route for address type ##
If you send to a contact group with a subgroup from your own local contacts, it works fine.
If you send to a contact group without a subgroup, it works fine.
If you log directly into the shared mailbox and send from there, it works fine.
This issue appears ONLY to occur when sending to a contact group that has a subgroup within it from a shared contact list.
Based on my investigation, it appears that Outlook is trying to look for the subgroups within the local contact list, not the location of the actual contact group itself. Perform the following steps:
Add an additional (or shared) mailbox to your Outlook profile.
In the shared mailbox contact list, create 2 contact groups. (Test 1 and Test 2).
Add Test 2 into the Test 1 group. In Test 2 group, create/add a contact. (This may easiest be done by the shared mailbox itself)
Ensure you are logged into your original profile, and Right click the Test 1 group and Create->Email.
You will notice right away if you expand the Test 1 group, it will show up Test 2 (Unknown) and if you try and double click Test 2 to see it's properties, it says it cannot find it. If you perform this same step while logged into the shared mailbox directly,
it is able to locate the contact.
Any information I have found on this bounceback references a bug where a link in an email who try to send to a contact using MAILTO instead of SMTP. However, this is not the scenario I am in.
It is currently not feasible to have everyone add all these contact groups into their own contact list, as these groups change all the time.
If anyone has any ideas how this could be fixed, or have maybe other suggestions of how to use and access groups with subgroups for communications without logging into the shared mailbox, that would be great. We are unable to login to the shared mailbox
directly anymore as we are doing away with shared passwords.
Thanks all

Hello,
How did you select the recipients when composing email? Did you click the To button and select it from the Address Book or use the auto-complete list? If you select from the auto-complete list, please try deleting the contact group from the auto-complete
list and then test again.
In addition, since the bounceback error is similar to the MAILTo bug, we may try to install the hotfix to take a chance.

I get recent contact lists from another device

Please elaborate.

Can I share my contacts list with family members?

can I share my contacts list with family members in the same way as sharing tunes and photos? If so how do I go about setting this up?

Perhaps you should read these Apple documents about what is stored by iCloud. The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview:
Your iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage for iCloud Mail, Documents in the Cloud, and your iOS device backups. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your photo stream, don’t count against the 5 GB of free storage ........
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksPurchased music isn’t backed up in all countries. Purchased movies and TV shows are backed up only in the U.S. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore. Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. A movie’s product details page in the iTunes Store shows if the movie is unavailable.
