    Backups don't always work as they should, before iCloud I lost contacts a few times after a restore and each time I made a backup before the restore
    Well, i am now an official fan of ICloud as it made a 1.5GB back up of all my wifes family photos off her stolen old IPhone.

    It took me 5weeks to realise that there was such a backup and only found out by accident through seeing it in a list via settings on my IPad, but yesterday I painlessly restored the new IPhone 4s with the backup of the old 3gs and everything is exactly as it was before.
    Contacts, settings, apps and almost a year of my 1 1/2 year old sons life in photos and video!

    My wife accidentally setup the iCloud backup to do its thing and thankfully it did as we had literally no other backup of the device on the laptop.

    Yes the old hotmail address is linked to hers. I thought once I set up a new gmail address she could use the hotmail one. is that wrong?

    You need to delete that email address off your phone.

    Gmail assosiated with the gmail? Sorry I'm not sure what that means

    Sorry meant to say that it's not associated or linked with the apple id. You won't know unless you sign in from that link above

    Sorry meant to say it was local backups I had touble with. Not so long ago I was updating a friends 4 from iOS 4 to iOS 6 and made a backup in iTunes. Restored and pics and contacts were gone. Still the same after 2 or 3 restores

    I think that's the problem then. Can you go into settings and then mail and see if contacts is set to on under that email.

    And you also use it for work?

    I think because this email account is still on your phone is the reason you got back all your wife's contacts.

    Can you try this.

    Can you go into settings, mail. That hotmail account and anything that is set to on set it to off including mail.

    And see if that gets rid of your wife's contacts.

    In iCloud turn off contacts. And don't keep iCloud contacts and then turn it back on.

    See if that gets rid of your wife's contacts now that you turned off the hotmail account.

    I'm at a lose.

    You created a brand new Apple ID and iCloud with a new email, yet you got all your wife's contacts back.

    I'd say its because of that hotmail email account.

    I'm not too bothered about having her numbers to be honest. I'm upgrading to iPhone 5 soon and want all my stuff on iCloud so my new phone will have all my pics and contacts. I can manually delete her numbers. Should that be a problem ?

    In your contacts app.

    Do you have groups? Something like pc contacts and iCloud contacts?

    Did you keep contacts on in iCloud? You can try deleting one contact and if it didn't get deleted off of your wife's contacts it should be safe to delete your wife's contacts.

    Well what you can do is keep contacts on in your iCloud. Then delete all your wife's contacts off your phone.

    That's what I did do. It should be ok cause she's going to Samsung with her update. Will I still have everything when I switch?

    Yes. Now that you kept contacts on in iCloud and then deleted your wife's contacts only the contacts on your phone will sync.

    Just make sure you have anything else you want to transfer over to the new phone set to on in iCloud. I presume you have iCloud backup on too?
