iphone problems

hook

i have an iPhone 4s and my daughter has an iPhone 4 up until yesterday everything was fine but then i noticed that i lost some of my contacts and gained a lot i didn't reconise. my daughter found that she lost a few of hers and gained a lot of mine. also when i set a reminder on my phone it set of on my daughters as well. my other daughter also has an iPhone and lives with us but it has not affected her phone at all. we both have icloud and i didnt know if this was the problem so i deleted it but the problem is still there any ideas please

What iCloud does, is every time you such your phone it "pushes"data -albeit photos, music, whatever-to,any othe apple devices within range. I suspect that is what could be happening here and I emphasise on "could".

So, when did this actually happen.? Is it when either one of you synch your phones? Or is it just your phone that is effected or is it both?

Such-=synch!

are you both using the same apple ID for buying apps and both of you have turned on iCloud with that appleID? does your other daughter use a different appleID or didn't turn on iCloud.

if you you/her/all want to use iCloud to backup your contacts and calendar ect. to the cloud then you need to have your own appleID that you use to sign into iCloud, you can then use a shared appleID to buy apps (so you only have to buy them once). that way you won't end up with each others calendars/contacts ect.

No we have separate accounts I have just tried restoring my phone from back up but that didn't work and now a lot of my contacts have e mail addresses like they have just been imported from yahoo
