Sharing Contacts With Family

With the new update, and the new family sharing program, my parents have all of my contacts in their phone. How can I get rid of them on their phones?

head to Contacts > Groups > iCloud > your contact list and uncheck all the ones you do not want on the phone.

Problems sharing contacts with family members

My family (me, wife and 2 daughters) all have iPhones and share a single apple ID. We want to share music, etc. but would like to manage our contacts separately. Right now we all see a collective list of contacts. How do we manage some items like this independently?
Thanks,

Hey there!
You'll want to create a seperate iCloud account for each device in order to keep the contacts seperated.
You'll esentially have to delete the iCloud accounts from each device and choose to keep the info on the iPhone. Then sign in with the newly created apple id for each device that wants their own account and choose to merge the data on the iPhones.

Sharing contacts with icloud

My iPad2 and iphone4s are no longer sharing contacts with icloud. I have checked everything I can think of. Please help

Thanks, both were checked, but I decided to turn off contacts on on the iPad, kept contacts, then turned on again. That worked at least so far. Thanks for helping me get my brain working!!

How do I not share my contacts with family memebers?

I need HELP! I recently update all three of our phones with ios5 and icloud. I was using mobile me before and had and apple id already. All three devices were under the same apple id and I could view them on the same mobile me account, but each phone was seperate in the fact that we each had our own contacts. Now with the new ios5 and icloud we all have the same contacts which is everyone's combined on each phone. So I logged in to icloud and created seperate folders and put each person contacts from the main list into each person's folder I created thinking I could then delete the all contacts folder but if you do that it deletes the contact all together from all lists. I need help! What can I do to get each person's contacts back to their own phones and not have all contacts on each phone that are not needed? Please break it down step by step if you know how I can fix this whether it is turning off icloud on two devices and erasing what they have already duimped on there and creating a new apple id for each of their phones but then how can I get their contacts back on thier phone? so LOST!

simplest answer i can think of off the top of my head would be to turn off the contacts portion of your icloud(on the device) and use your computer to create the three contacts folders and likewise synchronize them with their respective devices
.to do so you will need to create "groups" in the program you use to store your contacts. i.e. google mail account. windows addressbook. outlook 2007 or 2010. or mac addressbook.
if you dont store them on an external program i suggest you put this on hold and do so immediately.......
ok so now that your contacts are secure on another program and your contacts are separated into groups(i like to have a shared group including the family contacts that i choose to put on each phone).
you will then need to connect your device to your computer via usb.
once your device is recognized by itunes and appears in the source list(the column on the left hand side)under devices. simply click on it. this will bring you to your synchronization interface.
at the top of this page you will see a list of tabs i.e. summary, info, apps etc.
1)go to the info tab.
2)place a checkmark in the "sync contacts with or sync addressbook contacts " checkbox.
3) choose your program from the dropdown menu
4)change the bullet point (the dot in the circle) from" all contacts" to "selected groups"
5) select the groups you want on the device which is currently connected.
6)click the apply button in the bottom righthand corner of the itunes window
sorry i dont have a better answer for you but the service is quite new so i havent had much time to troubleshoot its failures. hope this helps

Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2007 Shared Contacts with Attachments

We have an Exchange 2010 server. There is only one Exchange server so all roles are on this server.
Found out that sharing contacts between users misses something.
If a user has Attachments or Notes in their contacts we can see via the Attachment column in Contacts that there are attachments.
But another user viewing the shared Contacts of the user above, cannot see if the Contacts have Attachments unless they open each one. The Attachment column states there are no Attachments. Is this how it is? Is it a syncing issue?
The image I have attached is what the user sees accessing a shared contact address book. It shows Notes and the Attachments columns. The contacts with partial words visible in the Notes column should have a Paper Clip Icon as they also have attached items.

Hi,
There is no related feature in Exchange server to manage Outlook view.
Additionally, I shared my Contact with another user in my Exchange 2010 SP3 with Outlook 2013 environment. And it showed the same results as yours. The attachments icon was not shown in the list view in another user’s Outlook but it appeared in my own Contact.
Thanks,

How can i stop my iphone 4s from sharing contacts with my husbands phone

My husband and I share an Icloud. How can I prevent my contacts and information from going into his phone. thank goodness I do not get his contacts in mine!

As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot. You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services. The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

How do I setup useful shared contacts with Exchange OWA Outlook 2013

Hi There,
I have a non profit I'm helping out. They have Exchange 2013 Sp1 & outlook 2013 .
How can I setup shared contacts for Outlook and OWA users?
I have been struggling to setup a useful shared contacts folder. No Matter what way I do it there seems to be major shortcomings.
They have 1 "Shared" mailbox account [email protected] and many user accounts [email protected]
I first imported the contacts from csv into a contacts folder in the info@ account, which works great for the Info@ user. When I share the folder with other users they can see it listed in "People" in full Outlook, but if they're addressing a message
they can't see the contacts when they hit the TO button. If I look at the properties of the Info@ Contacts folder in the folder list of the User, the Outlook Address Book tab is missing. Also can't find any way in OWA for User@ to open the shared contact folder.
I also tried using Public folders to share the contacts but found problems there too. Using Full desktop Outlook, users can share contacts, add to their Outlook address book etc. Great, but... there's no way to access Public Folder Contact folders in OWA.
They're a fully volunteer organization so many people are using OWA from home, they're not IT people so it needs to be easy.
Is there something I'm missing, when I started out on the task I thought it would be simple. Its hard to believe after all this time MS hasn't addressed these major shared contact shortcomings.
Thanks for any help!

I decided to go with a mixed solution.
Not every member has a society email account, only the executive and key volunteers have society exchange email accounts.
I imported the society member list into the the GAL, this allows any society mail users to email other members easily
I then imported the larger marketing list into the shared mail account which is restricted to a few users. They can be shared from there to other users, but they can only access those shared contact from Outlook (not OWA)
It's not ideal as OWA users cannot access the contacts from the Shared Mailbox but they can at least find other members addresses easily.
It looks like I could also setup a new GAL and share it with only some users, haven't dug too deeply into this yet.
Thanks for your help Ed

How do I share contacts with "Family Sharing"?

My wife and I had been sharing my iCloud account on 2 phones because we want our calendars and contacts synced. I'd rather use the Family Sharing, but it seems like it will not allow you to share contacts. Anyone know who we can do this without having to share the same iCloud account on 2 phones?
Thanks!

I have the same issue more or less.
iMac contacts are set up to support us both, some contacts are common, some for each individual, separated by groups. Prior to iOS 8 shared my iCloud account to get contacts and iCal across iMac and two iPhones. Just tried family share, worked fine for iCal but did share contacts for wife's phone, who was an invited group member. I understand that Family Share does not work for this operation. That is a FAIL in my opinion if true. Deleted family share. Now back to one iCloud account. Issue with one account is that I get all of her "recents" showing up in mail and messages and now on the home screen. I would really like to have things more separated. All ideas are welcome!
Just read this:
My thinking is the the new Family Sharing is a FAIL and that following the advice of this article is still valid.

Sharing contacts with entire family

Hi, since the latest update my entire family is able to see my contact details. Everybody has their own apple ID, however we all use the same email address for it. Can anyone tell me what happened and whether I can change this?

Sharing apps with family members who have ipads

We are now officially a mac household. My husband has an ipad 2, my 2 kids have minis and I have the new ipad retina. But how do we setup these devices so all of us can share the apps and music but keep the contacts, emails and messaging unique to the user?
My kids are 7 and 10 so I want to be able to give them access but not the ability to purchase anything on their own. Any ideas?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

Sharing aliases with family members

I have 5 aliases and would like to share them with my family. I would like to my family members to only receive and send using their respective emails (using their alias) on their iPads/iphones. Is that possible?

How do Lightroom users manage sharing photos with family?

I'm just looking for some best practices about how to handle the workflow of sharing photos. Obviously the Lightroom user doesn't want family members to start messing around with the photos outside of Lightroom, and if the photos are not JPGs family members might not be able to view them anyway. One solution I can think of is to shoot all photos in JPG and in Camera Raw at the same time and save the JPGs to a folder available to everyone and only import the Camera Raw ones into Lightroom.

This is a possible solution, but by doing this, family members will not be able to see changes you applied to the photos from within LR.
Another option would be to export your LR inventory (or parts of it) regularely to a specific folder, where others can access the JPEGs/TIFFs.
In LR 3, this can be somewhat automated by using the Publish Services to harddisk, where only changed photos are exported again a second or successive time.
A different approach could also be LRViewer, which lets you view images in a LR catalog from the previews without accessing the originals and without being able to change anything on them.

Problems Sharing Contacts with iCloud

My wife and I each have an iPhone and and an iCloud account. However, all our contacts are on my Mac (my Apple ID). I have created a new account in my address book for my wife's iCloud which has successfully shared the Calander but it hasn't worked for contacts, does anyone know why or how I can fix it?

I fixed it by temporarily unchecking iCloud syncing in my Address Book, I have the feeling this is a not-solved bug of iCloud. After unchecking all my Address Book synced fine with my iPhone.
I do know this is not the expected answer, perhaps, but it an interim solution. In general, do not trust in such automatic syncing, make local, controllable backup of your essential data.

ICloud Drive, what about sharing contacts with my older iOS devices?

Hi folks, I have finally upgraded my Macbook Pro to Yosemite and my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 and Monday will be the promising iOS 8.1.
During the process I have been offered to also update my iCloud account to iCloud Drive.
Sounds cool and necessary to benefit from a few extra features however I still own and use a iPhone 3GS and another iPhone 4.
It's clear that with iCloud Drive I won't be able to share documents among those devices; I can live with that but what about my contacts, calendars and Safari bookmarks not to mention Photos and iTunes Match, would that be the end of it or would those later services still be shared among older and newer devices?
I can't see it clearly stated among iCloud Drive specs and now I am hesitating with the update..
P

Hi randers4, your explanation convinced me and I have made the plunge and upgraded to iCloud Drive.
It works as you explained, all other services such as Safari Bookmarks, Reminders, Contacts and keep syncing data among them. Nice.
It will be interesting however, how custom folders and files, will share among different users.
Haven't found much documentation on that either but suspect the mechanism won't be as refined as in DropBox.
For instance: as far as I can see, I can't create/copy a link to one specific folder I have created but have to use either Mail, Messages, or one of the SocialMedia I have registered on the Mac.
But perhaps I should start a new topic on this
Thanks and regards

Sharing contacts with in-car head units

Hello everyone. I'm new to the iPhone having upgraded from the Windows mobile devices I've always had in the past.
I have a small problem. I'm having trouble sending my contacts list to my in-car head unit, a Kenwood DNX7200. I've paired the device easily enough, but I just can't figured out how to Bluetooth my contact across. It was never difficut with my Windows phones, but the iPhone is giving me a headache!
Once it's done, I can access my contacts from the touch-screen without having to pick up the handset whilst driving.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
