Two phones are sharing contacts, how do i stop that from occuring

I just activated two new iphone 4s phones. when a new contact is added or an old one is deleted from one phone, the same thing happens on the other phone. Any idea why this is happening and how to prevent it?

For many people their Apple ID is used for both their iCloud account and their iTunes account.
But that doesn't have to be the case.
You can have two iPhones with two separate iCloud accounts but share the same iTunes account.

You need to setup iMessage on one of the two phones using a different AppleID.

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem. How do I stop that from happening?

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

This is not something on your end. If they send an iMessage it will arrive as an iMessage, if the send an email it will arrive as an email.
THey are sepearate services that cannot be mixed up.
Tell them to send you an email, rather than an iMessage.
If they are using the messages App it will always arrive as a Message.

If he has iMessage on his iPad set to receive at his iPhone's phone number, that is exactly what is supposed to happen. There's nothiing you can do - he needs to remove his iPhone number from his "you can be reached at" iMessage settings on his iPad.

You can do it from the iPad or from a computer, whichever is easiest:
Set up an Apple ID in iTunes - Apple Support
And then set up the iCloud account for that Apple ID:

How to you stop outdiscards from occurring on ethernet ports?

I have a number of switches being monitored that are reports many outdiscards on various ports. What is the easiest way to prevent outdiscards from occurring on ethernet ports?

This maybe a negotiation problem with your specific hosts...... Currently I have an issue with incrementing discards on a bunch of switch ports running 1gb auto, I have a Gigamon aggregator switch tapping these problem switch ports sending each hosts data to a traffic analyzer tool. I can see over 1s period the max bandwidth is 600mb for most hosts (all 1gb links) but if I dig deeper over 1ms and 10ms microbursts I can see the link almost constantly hitting 1GB, ie.- hitting the max. QOS is really not going to make much difference here with my type of traffic, the solution is to go to a 10Gb solution. Not an easy solution, this costs money! How many packets per/sec per 5 min input and output are you seeing? Mine are approx 10,000-15,000 on average on a WS-X6748-GE-TX card. sh int gi1/10
