Why do i have my wife's contacts in my phone?, why do i have my wife's contacts in my phone?
i activated my iphone 5 and all of my wife's contacts and apps are in my phone. we share an account and im listed as a 2nd line but this wasnt happening with my previous iphone
No - sorry, my bad, I wasn't clear. I'm talking about tracks that I've never had in my library which he has in his. We have separate iTunes accounts (though they share the same credit card).
I have only just (in the last 48 hours) signed up for an iTunes Match account.
When I checked my music on the Mac in iTunes, I could see many tracks I've never had in my library but I know he does - such as the kids' music he uses for work. The tracks all have the symbol beside them which indicates they're in the Cloud. I'm just puzzled that my iTunes account would know what he has in his library and make it available to me, when his computer is not even switched on!
It's true that when we both have our Macs on, we share our respective iTunes libraries via the home wifi connection. Is iTunes somehow remembering that, even though we're not sharing at the time?
Like I said, it's not really a problem (except of course now I have even more stuff to scroll through in my library LOL!) - but I'm confused.
Thanks anyway!

I was trying to contact my wife in another country on a trip as I have several times since she has been away. Today we connected and then lost the signal and when I tried her again I got connected to someone in CA. How does that happen??
Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions. -
I just bought an Imac. I have an ipad2 and an iphone 4s. My wife has an iphone 4s. Both of us have different apple ids. Would you recommend a new one or use an existing id? Why?
It is best to stop making all new apple IDs, as software is permanently tied to them, and you can't converge them. Make differnt ones if you plan to get divorced though....

I have ipad2, using wifi home network and ios7. Why I cannot play youtube...help!
You don't download anything at all. The feature is built into the iPhone 4 already. Your carrier has to support the feature and there might be an extra charge to use it.
You can read about how it works here.

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone (4S) with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.
if you have no back up in icloud or itunes the best you can do is sync with your computer and get back what you can from there

Why do I keep getting the message that iTunes is quitting working? I have reinstalled iTunes and I have checked the wifi twice. I have even put the internet access cable directly into the laptop. The message says that windows will look for a solution but never offers any solution.
Try disconnect your internet, then launch iTunes.
Connect your device, then reconnect your internet.
See if this resolves the issue. -
Why cannot I connect my Ipad again to Wifi and why has all my emails and contacts been deleted?
Why can I not download ios5 and my computer says it has run out of time?Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.
The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

Hello.
I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop. I had my computer off a whole day. I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
You have two computers?
iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
Yes, that tends to delete everything.
Or you restored everything from a backup?
Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
Make sure you are signed in.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data . -
HT1695 why do I have to disable the cellurlar data to connect to Optimum or xfinity public wifi?
why do I have to disable the cellurlar data to connect to Optimum or xfinity public wifi?
you are pretty quick at responding and that is excellent.
MY issue is: when I log on to Optimum or Xfinity public wifi and I dont change the Cellular Data (settings), it says that there is an error loading the page and it wont let me put in the login information. My wifi works fine at home without having to configure or touch the cellular data. -

This is complete rubbish. Please don't post misinformation - new users find the forums confusing enough without you adding to it.
When you see that notice it means that the thread or User Tip has been removed. A User Tip may have gone out of date and been removed at the author's request. With a thread it means that someone, usually the original poster, has violated the Terms of Use by ranting, spamming, personal abuse or other content which is not allowed. Consequently anyone else who tries to view that thread will see the message quoted above, which is a standard message in the forum software; the 'contact an administator' bit is irrelevant. -
Every time I tried to do in app purchase, it showed please contact itune to complete the transaction, I have already saved my credit card info and it worked before, I do not know why it no longer work, I do not have any restriction
Gee... maybe you should try contacting iTunes support like the message told you to do.

Icloud is not backing up daily automatically on my phone or ipad I have to select back up now each day manually why is it not doing when locked on wifi
Make sure your devices are also connected to external power or the wifi will disconnect after a few seconds. If they are and they still won't back up, it may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup. Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup. -
The selected text tone plays when I check it out on the contact page, but when I receive a text message from this contact the default text tone plays.
Not me. iPhone or not, it always plays the default sound instead of the custom one
