Can you have more than one iphone on the same itunes account

My friends wife has just brought an iphone 5 and given his old one to her husband. They both use the same itunes account because they only have one computer. The husband has gone onto the new phone with his sim card started deleting stuff and it is deleting it from the iphone 5. They are on the same icloud account im guessing. Can they have the same itunes login in so they can have the music on both phones but a different icloud login to stop deleting stuff from each others phones?

iCloud, iTunes & Apps Stores can be assigned different AppleID's from the Settings app. I have my phone and my wife's set up this way for the very reasons you are describing. Works well.

  • Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?

    My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same.  Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account?  Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?

    You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.

  • Can you have more than one ipod on the same computer?

    me and my sister live together and we would like to be able to have two seperate libraries on the same computer. one library is already there and when the second ipod is plugged in, it comes up as a sub-library that is unacessable.

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
    b) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
    Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

  • HT1296 Can you sync more than one iphone to the same computer without having the two combine all information?

    Am I able to sync to iphones to the same computer, but have both phones and information on both stay separate? I do not have a computer at this time and want to sync my phone on my brother's computer for backup purposes. Is this possible?

    Create a new user login (with a password) for your stuff.
    This way, your data won't get mixed up.

  • Can you have more than one user on the new ipad?

    Can you have more than one user on the new ipad?

    You cannot set up more than one user account on the iPad if that is what you mean.
    Obviously families will share an iPad, but they are really meant to be single user devices with one Apple ID only on the iPad. Multiple ID's on one iPad can become a bit of a hassle to deal with.
    There is no way to lock apps or email accounts so that can become an issue as well. If you use the built in mail app for email, whoever is using the iPad can read your email.

  • HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

    Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

    I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
    There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
    So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

  • More than one iphone on the same itunes

    New to this so bare with me for the more than likely stupid questions.
    Can two iphones be synced to the same itunes with no problem?
    To do so two different apple id's are needed right?
    What are the pros and cons of doing so other than just having one iphone connected?
    -Only reason I ask is because the sales person told me to be careful when doing so because otherwise the 2nd phone connected to my itunes will be able to see the pictures I take and my messages? How does that work?
    Again bare with me, I'm new to the iphone. (Finally had it with android crashing all the time.)

    You do not want to sync two different iPhones to the same iTunes.  The one exception is when you have an old iPhone and you want to sell it and place your existing content on a new iPhone.
    Each person should use their own iTunes with their own Apple ID.  That will prevent ownership issues with purchased items like songs and apps, as well as photos that you mentioned.
    Here's a reference manual:

  • Can i have more than one phone number on my itunes account?

    My son and I use the same apple ID. He has a separate phone number to me and wants to use imessage on his ipad.
    How can I set up my account to use more than one mobile number?

    He would have to use a separate ID for iMessage in order to do this.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the ID used for iMessage.  To do this, have him go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.

  • Can you display more than one library from the same account?

    If I open iTunes on two computers in my house, I can only show one library on my apple tv. When I turn on the second computer, the first library goes away.
    Can you show one at the same time?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can share more than one library at a time, just make sure that the homesharing ID and password you use for each one is the same on all of the libraries.

    Certainly you can, you don't need or want another account.

  • Can you have more than three ipods registered to a itunes account?

    Everyone in our family has a ipod video. so we have a total of 5 in the house. The question I am wondering about is.. can more than 3 ipods be registered to an itunes account? and if not..can we make a new account for the other two? when my son is at college would he be able to log on to the itunes or would he only be able to do it when he came home to visit? Since we would be loading the songs and videos on this end?
    Thanks.. we are all new to this..

    can more than 3 ipods be registered to an itunes account?
    You don't register iPods to an iTunes account.
    You simply have an iTunes account at the iTunes store.
    You can use this on any computer in the world with internet access. You can use this one iTunes account to purchase and play music on up to 5 computers at a time.
    when my son is at college would he be able to log on to the itunes
    He can use iTunes whenever he wants.
    You don't need to log on to run iTunes.

  • Can I have more than one device active on my iTunes account?

    ON my iTunes account I currently have two iPhones and one iPod touch. Everything worked fine until a month ago when suddenly iMessage started sending incorrectly between the iPhones. We don't access iMessage on the iPod. It created a message thread on my phone with my own name, one for the email associated with the iTunes account as well as the normal thread for my husband's phone. All of the iMessages appear in both of our phones as 'sent' or blue messages. Help!

    This happens when you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones.  To correct this, use different Apple IDs on each device.  (You can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>Store if you wish; the ID for iMessage doesn't need to be the same as the one used for purchasing.)  On the phone that will change, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using the different ID.

  • Can you select more than one partition at the same time?
