Why do I get other iphones contacts from my itunes account on my phone?

Why do I get other iphone contacts from my itunes account on my phone?  I get my wife and son's contacts in my iphone.  I do not want.  I have tried cloud and no cloud that only provides all the contacts or empty file of contacts.

What laptop are you refering to? Did the drive crash or is the laptop dead? Is the computer you want to transfer to a mac with Itune?  If the other computer has Itunes,there are third part software that can transfer music and some file off an ipad to Itunes. Not sure about the Iphone. If you sync to another Itunes in another computer it will erase the ipad and install whatever is on the other Itunes. One of the third part apps. that comes to mind is Irip. Phone to Mac is another.

  • How can I get my iPhone contacts from my itunes to icloud so I can restore to an iPhone3GS using a newer PC.

    Hi,
    My big issue is I would like to retrieve my contacts
    I have an iPhone 3GS that has been regularly synced to my iTunes 9.02? on an older powerbook running 10.4.11. I would like to have a new iMac but the delivery time currently for the configuration I wanted is 8 - 10 weeks.
    The iPhone has been regularly crashing so the local Apple store advised me to upgrade the OS which I was only able to do using a PC as I couldn't do it using my Mac.
    Now I'm stuck. The iPhone is asking me if I want to restore from itunes (on the PC which as far as I know has nothing on it) OR from icloud which seems to have only one contact (me) OR to set up a new phone. I cannot use my old Mac now as when I plug in the phone it tells me its not compatible.
    Am I screwed? Should I give up, get a new blackberry and just forget about Apple after being a loyal user for 25 years?
    Can I somehow find a way to get the iPhone backup from the old Mac itunes up to icloud?

    I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
    All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
    I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
    It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

    My iPod touch was stolen. Can I get the serial number from my iTunes account?

    See the end of:
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    I had first registered my iPhone with an old laptop, the computer is no longer functional.  I cant now transfer music from my iTunes account to my phone, I am not sure what to do any suggestions?

    Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What have you tried?
    What happened?

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything how do i get all that back from my itunes account??

    I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.

    If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!

  • HT1212 How can I zero the password on my iphone from me itunes account? The phone has a smashed screen and I want to back it up before I replace it but none of the sliders are working due to the smashed screen?

    My iphone has a smashed screen and my laptop which it was connected to has died under warrantee and been replaced. I am going to replace my iphone but want to back it up first. Unfortunately the screen wont work and there is a password on it meaning I cant access it from my itunes account on the new laptop. How can I disable the password from itunes and back up the phone. It wont turn off or activate any sliders.

    You can't disable the password.  If you could, what would be the point of having one?

    I don't understand "when there is a multiple listing" above.
    But here's how to remove an iPhone from your iTunes account:
    Open iTunes on your computer, and go to Store > View My Apple ID in iTunes' menu.  Sign in, go to "Manage Devices", and remove it there.

  • TS1424 Why am I unable to rent movies from my iTunes account on my iPad?

    Until recently renting or buying movies from my iTunes account was seamless. However, I've recently tried on several occasions to rent a movie but the app either crashes or my iTunes sign-in box never appears.

    Your mom is signed in to her apple account probably. You cannot buy a movie on one account and move it to an ipad(different account) and play it. Cant be done, Copyright laws. Can only be accessed with the same account it was purchased with.
    Havent tried it myself, But im 99% sure you cannot SHARE movies like that.

  • Apps from several iTunes accounts on a phone

    O.K. my wife and I both have iPhones and have different iTunes accounts.  We download apps for both us and for our daughter.  We both also have iPads so we also download apps for both us and our daughter.  Our daughter is 4 years old. 
    My question.........
    Can we have two iTunes accounts on one iPhone or iPad.  Woudl like to be able to download all of the apps that we both buy on both of our iPhones and iPads.
    Can you combine the two iTunes accounts so there is a family one that you cna use to downlaod everything.
    Thanks

    Thank you again.  I am actually just using a single computer at thsi time but will be setting up a Mac Mini in a day or so.
    I actually believe I authorized my Mac Book for both my wife and my iTunes account.  Yesterday when I hooked her iPhone up it told me that my computer was not authorized to download an app, i had to authorize this macbook. 
    So if the Apps from both iTunes account  is on my Mac Book and I hook up my iPhone it will allow my to transfer the apps from my computer to my iphone?  So lets say I am logged into iTunes account #1 and I try to use an app from iTunes account #2 will I have to do anything special?
    Again thanks

  • IPhone Apps from another iTunes account. Syncing problems.

    HELP
    I had another mac (Ibook G4) and it crashed. I could not use it so I used my husbands account to download some applications and set up my new iphone.
    Now I have a new mac. I purchased an application from MY itunes store. When I tried to sync it to my iphone, it started erasing my applications that I purchased through my husbands account.
    I tried to back up my applications and add them into my itunes store. It says I can do this at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848.
    I did this, but it still says that if I sync it, I will lose all my apps off my iphone. Even though those apps are now in my itunes, I am afraid that if I sync I will lose the apps on my phone and in my application folder on itunes. Does anyone know if that is the case?

    You have two different iTunes accounts.
    One for you and one for him.
    When you try to authorize HIS account on your computer, it says there are already 5 authorized.
    You need to Deauthorze all on his account.
    Do this...
    "*To deauthorize all computers associated with your account*
    If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
    Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All."
    You will probably need to do it on his computer since you cannot log on with his account.
    See this page -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    Then you can authorize is computer again and you can authorize yours.

  • Our hard drive on our 27in Mac crashed and was replaced. Is there any way to get our music/movies from our iTunes account back?

    Our hard drive crashed (it was the one that was recalled) and Apple replaced it. Is there a way to access our iTunes account and get our music/movies back? Or do we have to re-download everything? What about music we purchased?

    Perhaps without a lecture level 10, it has long been a basic requirement to backup one's computer. Of course who would have thought one would have to backup something that is downloaded from a premium service like Apple's iTunes with the iCloud.
    Much of the media purchased from Apple appears to be redownloadable, except for things that are arbitrarily not (because of licensing or whatever, but these reasons are not apparent to us, the lowly customer).
    This is hard to understand until one has a problem, and finds the article listed above, or tries to enter a support ticket and ends up in the forum with someone who has obviously answered too many questions.
    So how about we ask that a product manager at Apple consider a novel new feature - provide an online locker for movies purchased with real money through iTunes.
    Let's call it iCloud and tell the world about it!
