Contacts nightmare!

[Psychobaby]

So when my mom first got her Cliq and was setting it up for some strange reason she ended up with it syncing not only her contacts but those of my daughters as well. We are all on Tmobile btw...Is there a way to prevent this from happening in the future if she has to hard reset her phone and re-sync it?
Also along the same lines she has been trying to figure out how to keep her phone from automatically syncing ALL of her pictures from her puter onto her phone. And no she won't let me play with it just wants ME to have answers for her yeah I know don't ask lol lemme just say she is ocd and has to do it herself... except for the asking questions anyway! Thanks!
