Why are my contacts available on my daughters iPod touch in her mail app?

her contacts folder is empty, but when she goes to type an email in the "to" field, all of my contacts are available.  We are using the Family Share, but she has her own Apple ID.  Thanks.

Son of a gun! I can reproduce this on my system, but only partially. I created a new Mac user, logged on, attached to one of my less-used mail accounts (mail only, not contacts), and typed various search strings into the search bar. I could get addresses into the pop-down list that this Mac user had never communicated with and had no stored mail for, but seemingly only addresses that my normal Mac user had communicated with using the same email account.
You are sure you don't share (and have never shared) an email account or Apple ID with these other users on your Mac?

  • TS1538 I have the new version of itunes and my ipad, my daughters ipod touch and her ipod mini are not being recognized when we plug in to itunes

    I want to sync my iPad and when I plug the USB cable to it, itunes doesn't recognize it.  I have the latest itunes version, I've turned off and turn back on my iPad, I've shutdown and restarted my computer a few times. I just bought a few tv shows and it just won't sync.  I was able to sync my old iPod touch, but my daughters new iPod touch is not reconized and neither is her new iPad mini.

  • HT204411 iTunes store - I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ?

    Hello, I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ? Unless I am mistaken, iTunes Switzerland is far from Swiss and does not encourage its people to watch films in the local languages of its country (at least French and Italian would be good too...). Can anyone help ? Do I have to move to Geneva to watch a non French film in French or Lugano to watch a non Italian film in Italian or simply buy a DVD to get round it?

    I have the same problem. I want to watch any movies in French (in the original, or subtitled and/or dubbed). But I cannot seem to find any on iTunes. Does iTunes offer any content in other countries (I live overseas) in the languages of those countries?

  • Why are my contacts not showing up in my iMessage on my macbook pro?

    Why are my contacts not showing up in my imessage on my macbook pro?

    open messages. go to messages>preferences>accounts. select your icloud account from the left sidebar, and uncheck 'enable this account' then recheck 'enable this account'
    you should also be using icloud to sync your contacts. sytem preferences>icloud. check the 'contacts' box

  • Why are my contacts in icloud different to those on my iphone?

    Why are my contacts only partially downloaded to icloud and also in a different format? I want them to be exactly the same as on my iphone 4.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Rob.
    Please try the following…
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • HT4059 Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

    Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

    You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

  • Why are my contacts that i am now saving, saving as unified contacts?

    I saved a contact in my phone and only the name and number, but when i went back in to view the contact its showing as unified info, and i didnt put all the info listed under that contact in i.e. Twitter account, facebook, address, etc. why are my contacts now being saved that way and how come peoples full names, or facebook names showing up in the text if they are not even saved into my contact list?

    This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

  • I synced my daughters ipod touch with my apple account and now all of her contacts are on my iphone and my contacts are gone. What happened???

    I synced my daughters ipod touch with my apple account and now all of her contacts are on my iphone and my contacts are gone. What happened???

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Help!

    Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Is there anyway to remove them or stop
    them from going directly to her phone?  Help!!!!  Thanks guys 

    So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member.  We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
    We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

  • Why are my Contact listed on my IOS 7.1.2 iPhone 4S in My Contacts as many as 6 times?

    Why are my Contact listed on my IOS 7.1.2 iPhone 4S in My Contacts as many as 6 times?

    If your settings are correct then the issue maybe with the recipient phone especially if both of your phone sends those pics as green/mms instead as imessage. 

  • Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

    Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

    When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly.  For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

  • Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

    My iPhone shows I have 1676 contacts but my iCloud shows i only have 382.  Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

    On your phone, how many of your contacts are in the On My Phone group, or any other group that is not iCloud, and how many are in the iCloud group (382?)
    Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?
    Not the same thing, don't confuse a backup of your phone with an iCloud data account. Backup is a separate function.

  • Why are my contacts doubling up on my macbook and my calender doubling up on my iphone?

    Why are my contacts doubling up on my macbook pro and my calender doubling up on my iphone?

    Solarbiz,
    I have the same issue.  No certain sense as to why it happened although it seemed to start after I was on the road and turned my iphone into airplane mode and went one step further and turned off a bunch of other services to ensure I was not hit with a big roaming bill.  I don't know but I suspect that turning those services back on may have been part of the reason.
    I have found that in the case of my calendar,  going to icloud.com allowed me to delete the duplcated calendars rather than having to try and clean up specific enteries.
    I am still looking for a solution for my contacts however.  On icloud.com I can delete duplicated groups, however the master list still shows duplicates for every entry.   When I am on my Mac I can filter "out" the icloud data and be left with a single set of my contacts.  It seems however that no matter what I do the syncing services thinks that I should have two of everything.  
    BTW - using the find duplicates does not work.
    I hope someone else can chime in with a more complete solution.  It is very strange as all worked well for a few months.

  • HT204411 Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa?

    Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa? For example the film 'Back to the Secret Garden' is available for download in the US and not the UK.

    Availability is determined/controlled by the Copyright owner... not Apple.
