How do I stop syncing contacts between my iphone any my husband's iPhone?

I just got an iPhone and my husband has had one for 5 months. I have somehow synced our contacts and I need that to stop. We are using the same apple ID. Should I have him create his own? If so is he going to have to start over or can he keep all the apps and music on his phone now?

You should use separate Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. These services are separate from iTunes.
Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ -- Note: You need a verified email address
On one of the devices go:
Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: This only affects the device
Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
This will separate your iCloud content (i.e. Contacts, Notes, Reminders etc.), Messages and FaceTime.
You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share purchased Apps, Music and Movies

How to stop syncing Contacts with mobileme

I don't know why but I keep getting a 'Sync Alert' saying that Mobileme wants to change more than 25% of my contacts. When I look at the details it has all these people I barely know and it there is no other contact info attached to their name. For the people I do know it wants to change there contact to include less info than I already have on them.
My guess is that it's a Facebook 'Import Contacts' thing I hit by mistake or something and it's asking me to import all of my "friends".
However it got here I don't want to do but there is no "don't ask me again" option in the sync alert. It only gives me a 'Sync Later' option but I never want to sync!
Any ideas?

On second thought- my Facebook theory is whack. I'm not sure what the **** is going on or who all these people are that Mobileme wants to sync. The only thing that was out of the ordinary is I got an iPhone 4 and entered my Mobileme account info on the phone to sync everything but my apps until i got to my computer. That worked but it added all these names and I don't know who these people are!?

Two devices same Apple ID, how to stop syncing contacts

We have my son's phone using the same apple ID as my wife to track his purchases. Under iOS 6 their contacts were separate.
My son updated both their phones to iOS 7 and now thier contacts seem to be mirrored. When he deletes a contact, it deletes from my wifes phone as well.
Will a separate apple id for the icloud stop this from happening?

Yes a separate Apple ID will stop this. But that new Apple ID will also be linked to the iTunes and App Stores. You can manually turn off all the iCloud back up options as another option.

HT4599 My PC (outlook) has stopped syncing contacts from my phone.

Can anyone help.

It sounds like PC Companion is unable to read the calendar from Outlook properly. Is your calendar stored in a local pst-file or on some type of server other than MS Exchange?
Could you try creating another pst-file in MS Outlook, create a calendar folder in it and then select that folder for synchrojization and see if the issue remains?
See this link for information on how to create a new pst: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-an-Outlook-Data-File-pst-to-save-your-information-17...

Problem with syncing contacts

My Ipod has stopped syncing contacts. It was working previously, but is no longer working. I see Itunes very briefly accessing contacts, but nothing is transfered. Contacts once on the Ipod are gone now. Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem? I did reset the Ipod, rebooted the computer several times, etc. It is a windows xp system.

hi Dave!
we're a user-to-user troubleshooting forum:

... it might be worth sending in some feedback to Apple on the problem via this form:

Deselect this option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply. Bookmarks will no longer be synced between the two.

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

Contacts and calendar have stopped syncing with latest updates

Hello!
iPhone 4S / iOS 7.0.4 and Outlook 2010 - contacts and calendar have stopped syncing - phone syncs, but data doesn't update - Genuis bar in store couldn't help me.
Anyone else with this problem? Do you have a solution?
iCloud is not a option due to limited WIFI access.
Thank you
Valerie

Do you use a Mac? If so, see the note in the third paragraph:

My iphone 5 stopped syncing to outlook email, calender and contacts after the IT department switched from a HP exchange server to MS2010 exchange server. Help?

My iphone 5 stopped syncing to outlook email, calender and contacts after the IT department switched from a HP exchange server to MS2010 exchange server. Help?

Try deleting your exchange account on your iPhone, then adding it again fresh. I had the same problem when we upgraded servers and this fix worked for me.

HT204053 My contacts and calenders stopped syncing on my I pad and iPhone any ideas?

My contacts and calenders stopped syncing between my iPad and my iPhone. It worked for a couple of moths when I first set it up.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contacts not syncing.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
Calendars not syncing.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Note Syncing stopped but contact list is working

Hello to all,
First of all, I'm using my iphone for more than one year and before im not using icloud until next year, i sync all of my notes and contact number in icloud. So far its working fine even though my IOS is still 5.x.x. As of now, my contact list is still working and syncing in icloud and i just tried it a minute ago before i make this thread but my notes stopped syncing December 19, 2013 and i don't know what happen! I just notice today because i did save data on my note and i tried to make a backup on icloud but still the new note i created still not appearing on icloud website. I didn't do anything to my iphone and im just curious because my contact list is still working and automatic syncing to my icloud but my note which is also important to me is not syncing anymore. Can someone help me. Thanks in advanced

You need to sync with software on your computer. MS Outlook is good, if you have it. Otherwise, google "contact manager iPhone" and pick one that looks good and fits your budget.

How do I stop Google from attempting to sync contacts with my iMac?

Hey folks, i'm new to Mac and keep getting this annoying sync notice that if I allow Google Contants to sync it will change pretty much all my contacts. First off, I'm not really sure what contacts it's trying to sync with. Is it trying to sync with my iCloud contacts? i don't think i have any contact info saved on my hard disk. Second, i have searched the discussion threads about this topic and see posts saying i need to go to Address Book > Preferences > and uncheck Google Sync....but the only Address Book i am aware of is the app labeled "Contacts" which holds everything from my iCloud account. Is Address Book a separate app/database?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."

IPad stopped syncing calendar, contacts

I am not sure when it started, but my contacts and calendar are no longer synced to my iPad. My contacts on the iPad are completely blank and my calendar has a few dates that have been on the iMac calendar for a while but not all or even some that were in the calendar when the dates that do show up on the iPad were entered.
I have clicked the info tab, check sync contacts/all contacts, sync calendars/ all calendars. I then sync. It goes through a three step sync but nothing appears on the iPad. I have tried it with both the "advanced" items checked and unchecked.
This is a direct USB connection and a first generation iPad. I know it worked before, but have not paid attention to when it quit, so I do not know if this problem came when I switched ot the new iMac

This is horrifying. I just discovered this too. It seems that my iPad will not sync the Calendar with my Macbook unless I use iCloud, according to Apple's Help menu. Well, I don't use iCloud. I prefer to make it harder for the NSA to pry into my personal life.
But this is ridiculous. Why wouldn't Apple allow a sync through the USB cable. It's so simple. I just plug it in, and bingo, the sync and charging are done at the same time. Not to mention that by not using iCloud, I can leave the WiFi off, which is better for battery life, and better for one's health (if you believe the European studies which we North Americans conveniently ignore).
Sigh... you can see with these successive Apple updates that we are being literally corralled into the "control" house.

STOP syncing contacts!!
