Two Iphones share same contactlist

I have two Iphones 3GS (one is my dads and the other is my mums). They use the same AppStore and ITunes account and they have synked both Iphones on the same computer. This caused a big problem for them because now they share the same contactlist. So for example if my dad add a contact to his contactlist on his Iphone, my mum get the same contact to her contactlist on her Iphone also. And if my mum delete one contact from her contactlist it deletes from my dads contactlist on his Iphone too. Vice Versa. So the question is: What do I have to do so they dont share the same contactlists anymore?
Best regards, Carina Berndtsson

Easy fix ma'am, go into settings<iCloud and turn of contacts.

Log in to icloud.com on a web browser and remove the device from "Find My iPhone"

Two iPhones with same Apple id

What a mess. My wife and I have a single Apple ID that we use for a Mac, two iPhones and two iPads. With the latest IOS update our iMessaging has gone haywire. We both receive all messages and so does the Mac and iPads. I attempted to solve the problem by establishing a separate Apple ID for my wife's iPhone. No luck. How do I fix this?

You both need, & should use different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime. You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content.
Your wife needs an Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud.
The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Then on her phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

Can I have two Iphones on same iCloud account?

I use two separate Iphones on my Itunes account for easy access. However, I would like to activate Icloud on both phones but I'm guessing each phone would need a separate acount otherwise they would just sync the same info (calanders,contacts,etc.) correct?
But could I at least use the Find My Iphone app on the second Iphone if I just leave all the other Icloud options off? If I activate Find My Iphone on the second phone, will it just show two Iphones in the menu when I search for the Iphone on my Mac, or do I need to set up a second Icloud account for the second phone?
Thanks,
Ehren

That will work just fine.

Two iPhones using same iCloud account with separate contact lists?

Our family has two iPhones and we each use different contact lists. If we use the same Apple Id is there a way to separate the contact lists in iCloud or do we need separate account (i.e Apple Id's)?

I have my iphone and ipad on Apple icloud services and it finds both units. I think you have to have different account names set up in order to use it. Do you have itunes? if so you can add the device from there. For instructions go to http://www.apple.com check under support, then forums to see if that has been posted.
Good Luck

Two iPhones with same Apple ID and want two separate icloud accounts.

I have two iPhones both of which are set up with the same Apple ID. How can I set up separate icloud accounts for each phone? My phone has same email for Apple ID and icloud account. I wants wife's phone to have icloud set up with her own email account. Right now her phone keeps automatically reverting to my email address for icloud.

To migrate to a separate account she will have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the current account to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted (if she's running iOS 7), choose Keep on My iPhone (to keep a copy of the iCloud data on her phone), then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data to the account. (Deleting the account only deletes it from her phone, not from iCloud. This won't effect your phone.)
Once she's on a separate account, you can each sign into your account on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

Can two iPhones with same name sync with iTunes?

I've just got a new iPhone 4 and immediately synced it with iTunes, transferring all the data from my old 3Gs including the phone name. This means that I now have two iPhones with the same name(3Gs and 4). What are my chances of keeping my 3Gs as a back-up phone that's still able to sync with my iPhone account or will I have to change to phone's name and install apps from scratch? I'd really appreciate any advice from the experts on this.

You need to rename one of them. I would suggest that you backup and sync each device after the renaming.

Two iPhones on same MobileMe account but one keeps turning a calendar on.

Hello. I have two iPhones that I have connected to one MobileMe account. We do that so certain calendars, notes, etc will sync. I have a certain set of calendars turned on on one of them and a different set on the other. I made a new calendar for bills and one for other reminders that we both don't need. Turned them on on one and off on the other. On the one which they are turned off, one of them keeps turning back on after it is switched off. I have not been able to determine how long it takes but it eventually does turn on because the next time the reminders are supposed to come up it is definitely on there. Any idea why this might be?

Can two iPhones share the same apple id?

I have a white iPhone 4 and i just bought a new black iPhone 4. Can I activiate the new black iPhone 4 and use the same apple id on both of them? Will all the music be shared? Can I have access to the account on both phones?

No. The only information that may be transferred between the two is music, apps, or books if automatic downloads are turned on within Settings>iTunes and App Stores. However if you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on both devices they will share whatever information you share with iCloud. For instance if you have different contacts on both phones and use the same iCloud account with both of them they will then show a combination of the two contact libraries on both phones. So if you add a contact to one iPhone it will add the same contact to the other. The same goes with deleting contacts as well. Hope this helps.

HT1338 can two iphones share the same mac password?

I updated my iphone and then last night my wife's - but when I try to login it won't except the apple ID that we share?

Post in the iPhone forum for iPhone questions.

Can two iPhones share the same phone number?

I have an iPhone 4s and a 6, and would like to switch between them, based on the activity I'm doing.

No, however, you could use call forwarding to redirect the calls if your carrier offers that feature. Not that this will NOT forward SMS/MMS messages.

Can two computers share same ITunes library over Airdisk?

Hi all,
I have a Macbook and a PowerPC G5 and a Drobo (external hard drive) hooked up to my AEBS with only ITunes music stored on it.
I want to be able to edit and browse my ITunes library from both my G5 (which I can already do) and my MacBook (which I can't). When I try to change my ITunes library location from within my MacBook, nothing shows up. It's a blank library, even though I can edit and browse the Drobo (as an Airdisk) through the finder. How can I edit and browse my ITunes library from my Macbook if my G5 is also using the same library? Two more quick points...
1) I have tried the "sharing" feature and don't want to use it. It doesn't allow editing of my library and won't show cover art.
2) The above situation happens whether my G5 ITunes is open or closed.
Thanks everybody for your help.

I periodically copy my iTunes library from my Mac Pro to the Mac Mini.
They aren't using a single library. Each computer is using its own copy and you have two sets of library files. It can certainly be done that way but if between copy sessions you edit a bit of each library then it is a bit of a muddle trying to make sure your versions are synchronized with each other. For example, ratings are stored only in the .itl file, so if you rate a song on your second computer it will get lost the next time you copy over from your first.

Two iPhones on same account showing combined call log

My husabnd and I just upgraded to iOS 8. Same iTunes account, we use google accounts to try and keep contacts, etc separate. Messed around briefly with family share but decided to stick with just sharing account. Howecer, our phones now share the recent call log. For example, I called him and he didn't pick up as he was busy at work. The missed call appears on my phone's recent log as a missed call....from myself. It shows people/numbers he has called during the work day - I obviusly did not call any of these people.
IS this a new "feature" of iOS 8 or did family share mess something up? family share is not turned on on either phone.
TIA

iPods are not tied to specific accounts. Only iTunes libraries are. You can hook up any iPod to your account and sync your library onto it. You can then move the iPod to a different library and sync it to that library instead.
Sounds like your issue is with iTunes libraries and authorization. First off, are you trying to use the same iTunes library? Or do you both have different user accounts on the same computer? Or do you have two computers?
