Updated to my iphone now I'm getting another family member's contacts, reminders, and such. How do I set it up to not get their stuff on my phone?

I just updated my iphone and I'm now getting all my daughter's iphone stuff. She uses the icloud and I tried to use the icloud and its mixing everything all up. I asked if she wanted to start a new account but she will lose everything and will not have access to things we have paid for already as a family household. I don't want to pay for stuff twice! There has to be a way to seperate it all by phones. My other daughter is planning on getting a iphone too! I don't want to know all their little friends numbers, calendars, and all their reminders. I don't want it on my phone! i realize that I can choose on my device what accout appears on my screen, but its annoying that its even on my phone to begin with taking up memory. Can anyone help on this?
If there isn't a solution, this is extremely annoying to me that apple does not have a method of separating out phone info! This makes people have to get seperate accounts for each phone and pay more where they should be able to share their apps with their whole household...without having to blend all the phones data together!

Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email.

Hi, I have an old Mac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS 10.5.8. My iPhone now requires it to have 10.6.8 to be compatible. How do I go about getting it? Thanks

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), by calling Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775.

When trying to update Aps, my iPhone repeatedly rejects my apple ID password. I reset it, and it still rejects it. I've reset it on my computer, phone still rejects it . . . tired of this.

Are you positive you're using the exact Apple ID to update these apps that was used to originally ontain them? You can verify such by right-clicking one the apps, in your iTunes library, & selecting "Get Info". This will show you the Apple ID used to originally obtain the app...does it match on your phone?

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display. But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close. Any advice... thanks?!

Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

Hi Tnolen15,
If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

Hi RadarCat16,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
Have a great day,
Joe

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

My library of 800 songs has been replaced by 48 older items which I believe are off an older device (old nano belonging to another family member). How do I get my songs back?

How do you reactivate this phone in another family member name after the original owner now deceased

How do you reactivate this phone Verizon Droid Maxx in another family member name after the original owner now deceased

To switch it to another number, you need to activate another phone on the number you no longer need (or have Verizon cancel it for the deceased member). Once that line is no longer active, you can activate the phone on another number - have Verizon CS at a store help you, or follow the steps on verizonwireless.com from the account of the person you do want it to be activated for.

When I try to set up family sharing I get "This account is already shared by another family member. Family sharing works best if every family member uses their own account." how do I reset? I can't find where it is being used.

Hi jmeckoll1,
It sounds as if you are trying to set up family sharing starting with an Apple ID which someone has already used to start a family group. Presumably this person is within the family group you want to share with. One solution to this issue would be to ask to join this family group. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Join a family
If this is not the desired result, you will need to set up your own family group using an unused Apple ID that is in use for iCloud. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My computer that my iphone 4 is backed up on crashed... I bought a new computer as well as the iphone 5. How can transfer the my data/pics/notes/songs etc to my new phone?

Use the backup you have of the old computer and restore that data to the new computer. Also and backups that you have made of your iTunes library (it has a method to back it up as well) can be copied back over to the new computer. If you attempt to sync the phone to the new computer without the data, it will delete that data from the phone. The iPhone is not designed as a storage/backup device and as such will not sync music from itself to a new computer.
If by chance you had not been backing up the computer and/or iTunes, you can google for some third party software, such as Touchcopy that will do some of what you are asking.

Do you have a backup? If so you could try restoring from that. Anything you created since the backup was made will be lost.
These are the basic troubleshooting steps
Troubleshooting
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears then let go.
Backup, reset, restore on icloud or itunes or restore as new.
Place the phone into recovery mode by doing this
If this fails to fix the problem make an appointment and visit and Apple store or an authorised service provider
