Why are my iPhone contacts showing up on my iPad?

I recently got an iPhone and used the same Apple ID as my iPad, so I realised that all my contacts on my iPhone were showing up on my iPad. So I created a new Apple ID and just wondered how I stopped my contacts showing up on my iPad?

You can use same ID on both devices.   It's common.
If you don't want to see contacts on both, just disable it under settings - mail,contacts, calendars - select your account, disable contacts

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

    Why arent my recent contacts showing up on my icloud on my computer?

    Are they showing on icloud.com?  If not, check to be sure you are adding the contacts to the iCloud account and not a non-iCloud account, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account.

  • Re: Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

    I am having the same problem with texts not appearing on my online text log and have also noticed a huge increase in data since my two sons have had their iPhone 5s.  I have the iPhone 4.  Two problems here
    iPhone users DO appear.  In the posted questions and response below, you indicate that if we are all using iPhones then we are not using the Verizon network but using data.  HOW DO I STOP THIS DATA USAGE AND RETURN TO USING THE NETWORK?  I can't afford the data charges that I am getting.. HELP!!  and Thank you.

    If you are all using iPhones, then it's likely the texts are going through iMessages and therefore use data.  Since the texts are not using the Verizon network, but the app, they do not show up in the logs.  The app is not specifically blocking the texted numbers from showing up, but the information comes through Verizon as data usage, not numbers texted.   

        Sparkyjames81,
    Lets figure out just where those texts are going! There are many apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones that will allow messages to be sent over the internet, and therefore they are not actually text messages and will not show up in our records. Even Facebook has their own messaging app available that does this.
    If you have an iPhone, they come with a service called iMessage that allows for messages to other Apple devices be sent via the internet, and this will also not show up on our records. These are all ways to bypass our actual texting services, and since these messages are not being sent as texts they do not show up on our records.

  • Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

    << Discussion  moved from All Things Community to Apple for better exposure >>
    Why are there numbers not showing up on my call and texts log when i look this up online at verizon? There is one number that my daughter texts and calls a lot i found from her phone log but not one time does it show when i look this up on the Verizon wireless call log???  We all have iphones is there an application or something that can block certain calls from showing up? It clearly has texts on her phone from this number why would it not be on the call log?

    Thank you for your reply.
    However, wouldn't an iMessage show up different than a text? It looks just like every other text on her phone.  We all have iphones in this house and they always show up as texts on  the call log but this one number seems to be blocked somehow from showing up on the text log. And there are texts from weeks ago and it's from an actual number not computer or any weird/odd code and yet it never comes across on the text log when i look it up. 
    If you are correct and it's coming across as iMessage is there a way for me to block texts coming across this way so they all show up on the text log?

  • Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

    why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

    No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can.  The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
    Thanks

On the ones that show up with Phoenix as the time zone the times change. Also I have had some of the times showing on the calendar at an hour different that when I open the Appointment. It will show the correct time, but on the Calendar it is sometimes different. "
    From that information, it makes sense that your calendar is off.
    Phoenix is in another time zone part of the year.   When daylight saving changed, Salt Lake City and Denver changed, but Phoenix did not.   You may have set time and date to auto, but the Mac knows the time difference and is compensating for it.

    Why are my iPhone photos smokey looking?

    my iphone 4 pictures have ALWAYS been sharp and crystal clear, recently they are extremely grainy and blury.  I do not have anything blocking the camera lens and have even cleaned any smudges but I am experiencing the same thing.  When i look at photos i took last month compared to recent weeks, they are horrible!
