Why do I get my daughter's contacts after setting up icloud. I had her set up different account.

Please let me know how I can fix this. Thank you.

On a device, more than one iCloud account can be logged in. (See system preferences).
This may be the issue. Your account may have the contacts saved to your phone.
If you log out of your device, it should say 'keep contacts & calendars'.
If not, log into iCloud.com on your mac and there will be 4 or 5 icons.
If you click on the Address Book, then you can edit your contacts.
Log back in to the same account on your device.
Let me know if you have any success.
This should help the problem

Why would I get server cannot be contacted after a few hours of browsing?

I've had this problem since for several years, probably going back to v15 or so. Firefox loads and works fine for a while. Then, suddenly, for reasons I do not understand, it refuses to load any more webpages. I get a "server cannot be found" error. It's like Firefox forgets how to do an IP lookup, or gets a bogus answer that redirects to an IP that is bogus. It doesn't wait or timeout either. Once I get it once I cannot browse to any website until I close Firefox and reopen the program. Even opening new browser tabs or windows doesn't help. I have to completely exist Firefox (all instances).
I would like to note that if it is "about to break", when I click a link, bookmark, or type in the web address, when I hit enter it fails within a second or two. It doesn't sit around and timeout after 30 seconds.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything that is out of the ordinary. I have a few plugins, but this happens on multiple computers, including some that have no plugins disabled.
Here's things that may be affecting this behavior for me:
1. I use a hosts file to block a lot of spammy websites. I use a program called hostsman to handle the hosts file. I have the DNS service disabled because it cannot handle the number of entries that are in the hosts file. (been using this for more than 10 years)
2. I have disabled disk caching (I use an SSD and I have found that disk caching creates more problems for browsing than its worth). I still do the in-RAM caching, and it's not uncommon for Firefox to be using 1GB of RAM or so. I don't think I've ever seen it use more than about 1.2GB of RAM. All of the systems have massive amounts of free RAM. My main desktop has 64GB of RAM, with 75-80% of it free typically.
I've also seen this at different physical locations (home, work, other side of the country at friend's house's, etc.). This problem only affects Firefox. I haven't seen it on Chrome or Internet explorer (albeit I don't use them for hours on end). I typically have this issue a few times a day. I do work from home, and most of my work is in the browser, so it can be a bit annoying.
Right now my hardware on this machine is:
Lenovo Y55 with 16GB of RAM, i7-4700HQ and 512GB SSD. Other systems are far more powerful than this one, so I tend to think that hardware is not the problem.
Thanks.

I don't have an answer for you, but we did receive some reports of this after the release of Firefox 36. One Firefox 36 user also believed that Firefox had stopped sending DNS requests, which is a prerequisite to being able to connect to the web server. Perhaps it became more frequent for you as well, since otherwise, you probably would have posted this a few years ago...
I don't recall that we identified the source of the problem, but in many cases, it was "something" in the settings folder.
Along those lines, could you conduct this test:
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
''This is in addition to and does not replace your existing settings.''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should come with completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run) -- type or paste the following and press Enter:
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.''
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like April7, and ignore the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
It might take a while to determine whether the new profile is works better than your old one. If you want to import your bookmarks from your regular profile during that time, here's how:
You can use the Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks") to access the Restore feature. The trick is knowing where to find your bookmark backups in your regular profile. After clicking Choose File... you can paste this into the file name space and press Enter to drill down to your profile folders:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
The semi-randomly-named folder that has your last backup is usually the one ending with "default". Click into that one, then into the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. Here you can pick the most recently updated file to restore.
Important: restoring a bookmark backup wipes any bookmarks currently in your active Firefox profile and replaces it with the contents of the backup file.
I think it's also reasonable to install AdBlock Plus, LastPass and SQLite Manager, as those, by themselves, are unlikely to be the source of this seemingly rare problem. But I wouldn't add all your extensions at once to the new profile.

Why did I get my brother's contacts when I downloaded ios6?

why did I get my brother's contacts when I downloaded ios6?

Did you ever use his Apple ID on your phone? Perhaps you signed in using his Apple ID and iCloud downloaded his contacts to your phone. Are your contacts still on your phone? Chech and see, under settings what Apple ID your are signed in with.

Why do keep getting a prompt to contact apple support to complete transaction when my info is valid?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you follow the instructions in the message and contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. If Apple have asked you to contact them, then the issue can only be resolved by them.

Why am I getting emails saying I need to renew my iCloud account?

Why am I getting emails saying I need to renew my iCloud account?
Is this legit?

Unless you signed up for iTunes Match or additional iCloud storage, there's nothing to renew; the basic iCloud account never expires. Forward any such emails to [email protected] and then delete them.

How to recover Contacts after MobileMe to iCloud upgrade?

How to recover Contacts after MobileMe to iCloud upgrade?

I assume that the regular backups of the contacts and calendar only work on a Mac
No, you can backup contacts and calendars on a Windows PC. There are many backup options for PCs, but you would've had to set one up. Don't you backup any of the data on your PC?
Your recommendation is that I restroe my entire iPhone from the last iTunes backup to recover these files?
That's really your only option with no other backups available. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
There's no guarantee that the iTunes Backup will include all your contacts, as noted in the support article above, you're supposed to maintain backups of the contacts in the contact manager you sync with.

Why am I seeing my daughter's contacts only on my MB (synced I assume from her iPhone) and why does my text messaging on the MB all viewed like she is receiving them? Even on my phone, a message I sent to myself as a test shows up as "mom"

Why are my daughter's contacts the only one showing up on my MB and why do all text messages now, including on the MB and my iPhone show up now as if she's receiving them, even when they are sent to me based on her contact list?

It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

Why can't I add or edits contacts after upgrading to ios 5?

I just updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 this past weekend. Today when I went to add a phone number from my Recent Calls to an existing contact, it let me get as far as the actual contact, but wouldn't let me save the change. I then went into Contacts directly and found that I could not add or edit contacts. Does anybody have any advice?

I turned off all the iCloud functions and got this problem. Only way to get rid of it was to go into iCloud settings and DELETE the iCloud account. Somehow turning of contacts in iCloud disables the add/edit contact function which must be a bug!

I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.

I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
please guide

You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device). There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

How to get remaining time for baton after setting timeOut property

Hello,
Is it possible to get the remaining time for baton after setting timeOut, or do I have to maintain a separate Timer for that?
Been following this excellent tutorial here http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/create-shared-forms-in-livecycle-collaboration-serv ice/

Thanks Nigel, before reading your reply, I came up with something like this, but it seems extending the Baton class is not enough, as I would need my own BatonProperty as well that uses this extended Baton class...
Also attempted to get some help here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7116814/actionscript3-lccs-how-to-access-property-paren t-class-protected-var/7116882#7116882
Could this be made into a feature request for Baton and BatonProperty, se we could easily get the remaining time please? I guess I can wait for a future release.
/custom as file /
package com.mysite.BatonExtender
     import com.adobe.rtc.sharedModel.Baton;
     import flash.events.TimerEvent;
     public class BatonExtender extends Baton
          public function BatonExtender()
          super();
          _autoPutDownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,countDown);
          trace("CURRENT TIMER:"+_autoPutDownTimer.currentCount);
          trace("BATONEXTENDER added");
          public function countDown(p_evt:TimerEvent):void {
               trace("TRACING START countDown....");
               if (_autoPutDownTimer.running) {
                    trace(_autoPutDownTimer.currentCount);
                    //sharedTimer.value = String(90 - _autoPutDownTimer.currentCount);
               trace("TRACING END....");

Why do I get my daughter's contacts after setting up icloud. I had her set up different account.
