Stop iPhone sharing Apps and Contacts

My mother's iphone 4s is sharing her contacts with mine. (This didn't happen before when she didn't have iOS 7) When I go to type a new message and put in a letter, all these contacts pop-up that are not in mine. Also, any time I download an app, her phone also downloads it..
I deleted iCloud on my phone and her phone to get it to stop but the contacts are still showing up!
Please, how do i get it to stop showing up and sharing?

Without separate accounts and IDs, how would you imagine or manage different people?
I assume that they all have their own separate login accounts for Mac OS. They should. But that isn't enough if all the household iTunes are under one ID, they would get mixed into one ID in the database.
Was it though through far enough? probably not. Getting the cloud concept working seems as far as it went with more work to be done to handle devices, IDs, and accounts, and to avoid just this mess and mishmash.

  • Is there anyway to stop iCloud from sharing apps and contacts between devices?  I have 3 iPhones, ipad2 and a Macbook and now all of the contacts from all 3 phones come up on everyones phones and the iPad.  We have one iTunes acct.

    I was told I would have to set up 3 separate iTunes accounts, but is that the only way?  It has been very frustrating b/c I don't need my husbands or daughters contacts on my phone.  And anytime one downloads an app, it pops up on the other devices.  I like the intent the cloud, but it is getting frustrating to manage all of my devices individually.
    thanks!!

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

    Use your backup copy of your old computer to put everything on your new computer, then sync the iphone to that comptuer.

  • What to do with between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone?  don't want to screw thing up. thanks

    I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do  between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone?  don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks

    Is this a new iPhone?
    If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
    If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all.

  • Iphone remote app and itunes

    All seemed to be going well until - the updates.
    Now my iphone will not recognize my itunes libraries. I deleted the library link from the iPhone remote app and even told itunes to forget all remotes. Back to my iphone to set up as a remote - again. The iphone generates the 4 digit code, itunes even recognizes the iphone, allows me to enter the code, and returns the screen that I can now start using the iphone as a remote. --- Back to the iphone - and the remote app can "find the library" - What gives? Help
    <edited by host>

    Revelation, do you mean complete restore of the iPhone and all contents thereof? Or the Mac?
    I have deleted the application "Remote" from the iPhone, and I have re-installed it. Each time the application will work for a limited time, and then it loses the ability to locate the library.
    I continue to suspect IP addresses as the source of the problem, and wonder if the addresses must be static on both devices in order for them to maintain a connection. However, I find it odd that iTunes can register the presence of the iPhone enough to list it in the "devices" pane (therefore, I assume that the two devices are communicating over my network) but then the iPhone fails to locate the iTunes library.
    Other applications (Briefcase Lite, for example) seem to be able to conduct over-the-network business without difficulty.

  • I just updated my 3G to 5.0 and most of my apps and contacts disappeared.  THis has never happened before.  How can I get it back to where it was?

    I just updated my 3GS to 5.0 and most of my apps and contacts disappeared.  THis has never happened before through many updates.  How can I get it back to where it was?
    I did a restore from backup but that did not change anything.
    I can see my apps in iTunes - it is like the update got some apps but not all, no contacts.
    Total waste of my Friday. 
    What steps can I take to bring the phone back.
    I know Steve is not smiling

    I got my contacts back by doing another restore!  Relief..
    But only a very few odd apps are showing up on the 3GS
    Any suggestions?

    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • Iphoto app and Contacts List vanished

    Dear Apple,
    My iPhoto app and Contacts list have disappeared from both my desktop and my Time Machine ( recently restored my internal harddrive from external HD ).
    1)  Can I select just iPhoto for installation from the system disk ?
    2)  I can highlight my complete Contacts list from several weeks ago in Time Machine, but when restored to today, the desired target  ( Contacts ) is grayed out. Do I need to create a temporary "Contacts*" app to be later renamed without a distinctive character ? I have created "Contacts" folder, which is unrecognized by Mail.
    Any guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks !
    Rob Glass

    The iPhoto app needs to be reinstalled form its original source - either the restore disks that came with yoru computer, the pruchased iLife upgrade disks or the App store
    TM questions are best ask in the forum for your OS

  • If i update itunes will i lose my apps and contacts and the other contents?

    if i update itunes will i lose my apps and contacts and the other contents?

    No.  In fact, it is possible to uninstall iTunes and then re-install iTunes without losing any content.
    Removing, updating, and repairing the application has no affect on the media stored on the system.
