We have 2 iPhones.  How can I get my contacts from showing up on my wifes?

My wife just bought an iPhone after admiring mine for a year. After I synced hers to our computer my contacts show up on her phone (hers don't show up on mine).
In iTunes I clicked on my wife's phone profile and then the info tab. While there is a section for "contacts" I see no place to select a specific set of contacts (the window that seems to display different contacts is blank) .
Thoughts? Thanks folks!

You can create a separate library for your wife's iPhone.
To create a new library:
First create a new folder in the iTunes/music folder called Wife iPhone, so that it is easy to determine that this is where your wife's iPhone library etc are stored.
1: Double click on the iTunes icon and straight away after doing this hold down the SHIFT key.
2: You should now see a little window appear, click on create library and choose the location where you are wanting it saved to, its advisable to save it in the folder called wife iPhone. You will now have created a totally separate library for that iPhone.
3: When you are wanting to connect/sync with the desired iPhone to iTunes and access the library that, that one uses. You need to load up iTunes again and hold the SHIFT key, but this time you need to click on choose library and locate the library file from the folder you created earlier (wife iPhone). The library file will have .itl on the end of its name.

    I have been everywhere and can not find helpful information. I had to replace the harddrive on my computer and I can not get the contact from my phone to outlook. The only one that will transfer is a new on that I just added.

    Is your new phone another iPhone?
    If so, just sync them via iTunes from the contact manager you were syncing your old iPhone to.

    Can i get my contacts from textfree app on my pc if ipod wont turn on?

    If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
    - See if you can extrac themn from an existing backup
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    - Restore an iPod 2G or later, iPhone 3G or later or an iPod from existing biPod backup. The apps have to be in the iTunes library in order to have a place for the app data to go.

  • HT1296 How can I get my contacts from my iPhone even though I don't have it ?

    I'm trying to get my contacts from my iPhone but I don't have my iPhone with me

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
    Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.

  • My husband and I each have iphones, how can we share the contact and calender info we have have in our iclouds with each other?

    My husband and I each have an iphone 4S, how can we share the contact and calender info we have in our iclouds with each other?

    You can make one or more calendars of one iphone sharable and the other user will be able to have those sharable calanders synced.  Unfortunately, you can't do that with contacts.  But you could go to the computer account used by you or your husband, perform a backup of the contacts (see the file menu), copy the file to the other account used to sync the other iphone, and restore.  It's a manual process that has to be performed periodically, but doable.
    The other method is for each of you to use the same iCloud ID and have both iphones synced to be identical.  But I don't recommend that otherwise you'll each get the same text messages and who knows what else.

  • How can i get my contacts from itunes to my phone if my usb slot on my laptop is broke?

    basically im looking to get my contacts from my itunes on my old laptop onto my new phone but the usb slot on the laptop is broke so i cant connect to itunes is there any way to get the contacts without connecting the phone to the laptop or is there another way to connect the phone to the laptop??

    Hello Joe,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5!  If you do not have a working USB connection on your laptop, you can use iCloud to transfer contacts from your computer to your iPhone:
    You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.
    Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
    Go to icloud.com/#contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
    You can find more information about iCloud and Contacts at the following help article:
    iCloud Help - Contacts overview

  • HT1296 How can i get my contacts to show on itunes on my laptop?  Or at least delete more then one at a time on my iphone 4s???

    How can i delete more then one contact at a time on my iphone 4s or bring my contacts up on itunes on my laptop?? please help

    No.
    Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • I backed up my iphone to iCloud and sold my iphone how can I get my pictures from the backup without another iphone ?

    if I go on my ipad and go into iCloud-manage storage the back up is there
    But how do I get all the pictures from my iphone backup without another iphone ore using the ipad

    1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
    2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
    4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

  • How can I get my contacts from iPhone ios5 to my mac osx10.6

    I recently upgraded my late model 2006 iMac to OS Lion. I also updated my iPhone to IOS5.
    Lion is not really configured to work seamlessly with an older mac, so I reverted back to OSX 10.6.
    This means I've lost all contacts in my address book.
    Is there a way of retrieving contacts from my iPhone IOS5 so I can add them back onto my mac?
    This is so frustrating and until I can afford a new mac, I need to find a way of getting my contacts back.
    At the moment I don't want to synch my phone with my mac for fear of losing content on my phone.

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!

  • How can I get my contacts from PC (outlook) to ipad air?

    I found how to get contacts from ipad to PC, but I need to go the other way.  PC is Windows 8.1   Ipad air operating system 7.0.6

    Hi Skydiver119.
    Yes, I sync my music to my PC on iTunes.  Your instructions are exactly what I've read you are suppose to do but when I go to the info tab, there isn't a choice to sync from outlook.
    Under Sync Contacts it says;
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.  Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
    Thanks again Skydiver119 for your help.
    If I don't hear anything else, I will try to export my contacts and email them to myself but I would think I would have to enter them manually that way, but I don't know.

  • How can I get my contacts from Address book on my computer to iCloud?

    I recently updated my IOS on my iPhone and my iPad and, of course, lost all my contacts. I've followed the directions for enabling iCloud; however, my contacts are not being sent to iCloud. I checked my Settings on my phone, Info in iTunes, and Accounts in Contacts. Anyone know how I might resolve this?
