When adding or deleting contacts on my iphone, contacts get added or deleted on another iphone as well?!
So I have an iPhone 4S and my mom has an Iphone 4. Recently we discovered that whenever we add or delete contacts from her or my phone, they get added or deleted in both our iPhones. So for example: When I add a friend to my contacts, it gets added to her contact list as well. When I delete one of my contacts, it gets deleted from her contact list as well! I think it has something to do with having synced her iphone once on my laptop using my itunes but her phone doesn't have my apps, photos, or music so I don't get how this is happening. Does anyone know how to stop this?
You are logged into icloud on the same account.
Go to settings>icloud and either "delete account" (which signs you out of that account on that device) or just turn contacts off
I would recommend one of you create your own account specifically for use with icloud.
Again you can access your icloud settings by going to settings>icloud

I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan. What do I need to do?
I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
Sorry but you lost your money.

How do I view a video that was sent to me through imessage to my iphone 5S?It was sent by another iphone user.I clicked the link and entered my phone number and the password provided but it still won't open.What should I do?
Is this your issue > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
If so...
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device. -
when i sync my iphone i get this message. The iphone "patricks iphone" can not be synced. The required disk space can not be found.
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Iphone 5C will not sent iMessage to another Iphone user who has not installed ios7
I have found that if I am trying to send an imessage to another Iphone user who has not upgraded to ios7, the messages will appear in my history as "sending". I deleted that contact history and tried to send another text and it worked as it was sending as a "green message" rather than a "blue message". Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks for the answer. Disabling iMessage does work, but it's a bit clunky to have to do that every time I want to message him. Many of my other contacts have iPhones and I like the iMessage feature.
He's had the same number for years and I only recently have had this issue, he doesn't have iMessage on any device, he only has an iPod nano. I wonder what happened that all of a sudden it has defaulted to iMessage for him.
Any other ideas? -
My contract at Verizon was up so I decided to renew and replace my Droid with an IPhone 4S. I had them transfer the contact information at the Verizon store from my currently active IPhone 4 (an AT&T account) to the new IPHone 4S - this they did and its fine.
Now I want to duplicate whats on my iPhone 4 to the new IPhone S - so I went to ITunes and backed up my Iphone 4. When that was done I hooked up my new IPHone 4S to ITunes in order to restore the apps, photoos and all to the new IPhone 4S.
However ITUnes said the phone will not pair with iTunes??
Whta must I do ?
Thank you allWhat EXACTLY did it say?

Delete library from old ipod and start again with whats on another iphone
I'm using my daughter's old computer with itunes.
It has her library on it.
I want to delete the library and sync it with whats on my iphone.
I tried remove program and reinstalling from itunessetup.exe but the old library remained.
How do I get itunes with the songs from my iphone on this computer without having all the songs from my daughter's old library on it as well.If it's an older ipod, you can physically pull the files from it as though it was another hard drive and then add them to iTunes.
If it's an iPhone/iTouch, you need special software (unable to be discussed here due to TOS - look up "TuneAid" on the web) to get the music off the device and into the library. Without that, you can only overwrite (erase) what is on the iPhone and replace with new music from your library. -
How to stop an iphone from "thinking" a phone no. is another iphone?
I had an iphone 4 but then switched to a different device (ported my number out) and now I can no longer receive texts from my friend with an iphone 5 who used to send me messages using iMessage because the iphone 5 continues to "think" my phone number is associated with an iphone 4. Both Verizon and Apple are working on figuring out (spent a couple of hours) how to correct this with no luck so far. btw my friend can receive my texts but when my friend replies to my texts or initiates a conversation, it shows as sent on my friend's iphone but I never receive the messages.
It has been so frustrating so as a last resort we are considering turning off iMessage altogether on my friend's iphone 5 because deleting my contact from the iphone 5 and reactivating iMessage has not helped correct the problem. Question: what can we do on the iphone 5 that can make it "think" that the phone number is no longer associated to an iphone? Or how do we simply turn off iMessage from the iphone 5?
Any ideas will help. Thank you.Hi Htam,
Messaging is an important feature on the device! I apologize that your messages are not working properly. Let's dig a little deeper. Try the following instructions below to unregister your old iphone 4.
Go to http://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do.
Step 2
Log in with your Apple ID and password.
Step 3
Select the product you need to de-register (your iPhone, for example).
Step 4
Click ‘Unregister’.
Step 5
You’ll see the message ‘Are you sure you want to unregister and delete this product?’ – Click ‘Unregister’ again.
Keep me posted.
Thanks,

Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
Please help. Almost everyone has an iphoneYou should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

Why does my iphone 5 get messages sent to my wifes iphone 5c also
when i send a message to my wifes new iphone 5c i get the same message sent back to me also, and i recieve a copy of messages sent to my wifes phone as well!
Hey Parfss,
For your description of your issue, it sounds like you are using the same Apple ID or somehow you have both yours and your wife’s phone number associated with your separate Apple ID’s. Take a look at the article below and check in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive to see if you are using the same Apple ID or if somehow both of your phones numbers are associated in each Apple ID. If you are using the same Apple ID, then you will want to have a different one for each of you. If you are using different Apple ID’s, then simply sign out on your iPhone’s and then sign back in to register your phone number again.

I sync my iphone4 on to a laptop where another iphone4 was previously sync. Now i lost all of my settings in my phone and i need to know if there was a way i could regain them

If you had back ups on your own computer (default iTunes behaviour) then it is only a mater of connecting your iPhone to your computer and restoring from a back up.
If you didn't have back-ups then I don't think that you will be able to restore any of your settings or lost content. -
Sync iPhone contacts to Address Book
Can anyone tell me how to take the contacts from my iPhone and store them in my address book. I never typed my contacts in my address book, and instead of syncing Address Book to iPhone.....I want to do the reverse!
Also, is my contacts already stored on my computer under the backup of my iPhone? If I was to purchase another iPhone, would I just load my contacts that way.....from the backup??
Thanks!The Revert to Address Book Backup feature opens a backup file created by the Address Book backup feature only.
I'm not sure if any of these files can be used to restore the data but I've got something for you to try.
Why do the the contacts get erased from the iPhone if the computer's address book is empty? Is this a feature or a bug? Seems like a bug.
I don't believe this is a bug - kind of like which was last changed prior to the sync process - in this case if was your Address Book database on your Mac. If there had been at least one contact available on the Address Book on your Mac, I don't believe this would have occurred but since it was empty and the last changed all contacts were lost on the iPhone.
With the Address Book application quit on your Mac, move the recovered AddressBook.data.previous file from the backup drive to the Desktop. Change the name of this file to AddressBook.data or remove .previous from the file name.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook. Move the AddressBook.data file from the Desktop within the AddressBook folder. This will replace the existing AddressBook.data file which is empty.
Cross your finger and then launch the Address Book application to see if most or all of your Address Book contacts were restored. -
There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!
But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync. -
How do I transfer content from a iPhone on one email account to to another iPhone on a different email account when both account are registered with apple?
Are you asking how to transfer items from one AppleID to another AppleID?
If yes, that cannot be done - apps, content, media are forever tied
to the AppleID used to download them.
If that is not what you are asking, please add more details as to what you
are trying to accomplish so someone may offer a solution.
