Can I use one computer for 2 different iPhones?

I have 2 iPhones, one for work and the other for personal use. Can I sync them both using the same computer without screwing up the contacts, calendar, etc.?

I'm used to having two different users on my Macbook Air (as listed as Method One in the link above), each with their own iTunes to sync an iphone too. We use iCloud too, but old habits die hard. This is another way to do it...

  • Any idea how you can safely use ONE computer for BOTH work and internet?

    I'm planning to set up a small music project studio, built around a powerbook, that I will be sharing with a friend of mine. My friend is going to use the computer for music AND heavy internet use, but I will only use it for music work (off-line).
    The thing is then that I am slightly worried about viruses, worms, spyware and similar unwanted stuff 'sneaking in' when the laptop is online. Even with firewall and anti-virus I guess there is always a risk.
    Any idea if there is a way of keeping things completely separate?
    How about if I had a bootable external hard drive for my work, with the Mac OS system on. Then when I'm working I could boot up from that drive (and use the computer off-line).
    Maybe we could even remove the internal hard drive from the powerbook (?), and use the powerbook with two external hard drives instead: One bootable drive for me and another bootable drive for my studio partner (and then only connect one hard drive at the time).
    Any idea if this would work well..? (I'm not sure if i.e. a virus could sneak in anyway, through the PRAM, L2 cache or the RAM or something similar) Or does anyone have any other suggestions...? Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks!

    Not too much worry with Macs, but get an Ethernet Router, skip Wireless, use strong Passwords.

    Excellent idea, especially if the heavy Net user doesn't have Admin rights.

    Just about foolproof! Just need 2 more drives for backup. Not sure why you'd want to remove the internal HD though.
    No Viruses yet in OSX land, in fact the only Malware I know about requires you to install it for itself!
    You'll be OK, that separate drives idea is pure genius.:-)

  • HT1386 We have 3 ipods in family. Can I use same computer for 3 different itune accounts? When I plug in my Daughters ipod or ipad, my own library with all my music comes up, not hers, even when I've logged out and logged her in? Can anyone help? Thanks

    We have 3 ipods and 2 ipads in our house, with one computer. I have set up my own itunes account and one each for my two Daughters. When I try to add music or sync their ipads/ipods, my own library with my own music comes up, even when I have signed out of my own account and put their account in. Am I able to have 3 accounts on the same computer with seperate music libaries and able to sync without each persons music syncing onto the wrong device? Thank you.

  • HT5538 can i use one apple ids on different iPhones?

    I have two iphones, one for US use and one for international use. Can I use the same apple IDs on both? can I use the two fhone numbers on iMessage and FaceTime?

    There's no tip that I am aware of. There are two ways to use the same Apple ID on different phones. First, on each phone you can just select or deslect the way that phone receives messages in Settings/Messages. But the better way is to create a new Apple ID and use it just for iMessage. Leave the phones sharing an Apple ID for the stores and content, but in Settings/Messages log out of that ID on one of the phones, and log in with a new Apple ID just for iMessages on that phone.

  • Using one PC for two different iphone

    My wife and I got the Iphone3GS recently. But, we just shared a PC at home. Are there any method to syn our materials on the same PC with different account?

    Yes. Just set-up separate user accounts on your PC, then setup iTunes in each account and sync as if it was on two separate PCs.

    If the content was not originally purchased/synced to the device from your computer it will erase and replace the content from the device with that of the computer. If you have content that you want to backup you can transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 check this link out

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

  • Why can i use one computer to sync music

    It ***** to find out that with using iTunes, you can only use one computer to sync things such as music. The computer that I was previously using with syncing died on me and now that I am on a new one it says that I have to erase everything on my iPhone just to put one mixtape on it which is complete BS. So I ask you Apple, iTunes support, or whoever, why?

    If you had your itunes backed up then you would not have that problem. You could restore it using time machine, if on a mac, or other backup software, if on a pc. Also if you had itunes match then you don't need itunes at all to sync your music up anymore.
