How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

If you set it up on your iPhone before you lost it then you can sign into your iCloud account on a computer and attempt to locate it.

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

HT2693 How to download pictures from multiple iPhones with the same Apple ID?

I have multiple iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4S, iPhone 5) registered under the same Apple ID however i only manage to download the pictures in my iPhone 5 via iCloud.
How do I retrieve the remaining photos that was uploaded to iCloud previously from my older iPhones with the same Apple ID?
Pls help!!!

Hi edristiew,
Are the photos that you are referring to still in Photo Stream? Remember, Photo Stream has limits which are outlined in this article:
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
If the photos are still stored in Photo Stream, this resource may answer your questions about how to extract them (Mac or PC):

If the photos are no longer in Photo Stream, but are in your camera roll, you can import them to your computer:

Two iphones with the same name

Dear Apple community
My iphone was stolen at new years eve. I've tried tracking it with find my iphone, but it's been offline since i lost it. However, i have an old phone that i immediatly charged the next day to stay in touch with my relatives, but i found out, that icloud is tracking my old phone instead of my new one (which is lost). I suppose it's due to the fact, that the iphones have the same name (or ID).
So my question is, is there a way for me to add my old iphone to icloud while still being able to track the location of the stolen one? As of now, i cannot use the 'my iphone is lost' feature on icloud, because everytime i enable it, it just finds my old one and gives the security message. Is the only solution to keep old one offline?
Kind regards

You need to rename one of them. I would suggest that you backup and sync each device after the renaming.

How can I delete multiple copies (600 ) of the same contact that ended up on my iPhone after backing it up on iTunes?

In syncing my iPhone 3GS on iTunes, I now have many copies of the same contact -over 1,000 in one case-on my iPhone. How can I delete these multiple copies without doing it one by one on my iPhone and how can I prevent it from happening again? I have Outlook Contacts and MSN contacts -- iTunes is supposed to be syncing to my Outlook contacts, but I don't have multiple copies of any of my contacts there. HELP! Thanks!

The cause was probably a USB glitch during a sync or when copying. The music resides on the phone in separate files. A master file contains a database with an index to the music, an entry for each track and a "pointer" to the file containing the track. Somehow the index got corrupted with duplicate entries. It's likely that the music itself wasn't duplicated, but some tracks had more than one entry in the database. I've seen this happen when syncing (rather than manually managing) also. In my case deleting the track from the Music tab in iTunes, syncing, then adding it back fixed it.
A related problem I've seen is an album may be split, with some tracks in each of 2 or more album entries in the listing. Fixed the same way.

How can I open a new window with the same website like the one I have open?

In safari I can open a new window with the same website like the one I have open, that makes it easy continuing to navigate on a website and to go back to the original website

Hello Andieas
Why open a new window for fast browsing??
Open new tabs.
Just right click on what you want to open and click "Open in new Tab"
It is easy and doesn't consume memory from your computer as well as easy to navigate.
Hope you'll like it

Separate "iMessage accounts" on two iPhones with the same Apple ID

I have two iPhone 4 handsets. One is for work and one is my private number. Currently I am using the same Apple ID on both phones, as I want to use the apps I've purchased on both devices and get my contacts from iCloud.
As I usually bring both handsets with me, it is annoying to receive the same iMessage to both phones. Is there anyway to create two separate "iMessage accounts" such that I can use iMessage on both phones, but messages sent to my work phone will only be received on my work phone, and similarly, the iMessages sent to my private phone will only be received on my private phone?

Sure, just create another Apple ID & use that for iMessage:

Can I back up two computers with the same name to Time Machine?

I recently bought a new MacBook Pro to replace my old one. Both have the same Computer Name (as shown in the Sharing tab of System Preferences). The older one backed up to my Time Capsule as Stuart Field's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle.What will happen if I turn on Time Machine for the new computer? Will it just append to the old sparsebundle? Or will it create a new one with a different name? I would prefer to have the new machine have the same name as the old one.

It will create a new one, unless you get the "Would you like to reuse the backups" prompt and select the "Reuse" option. See #B5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.
The 2 sparse bundles will have the same name, but internally each carries the hardware address of the associated Mac, so Time Machine will always know which one is which. If you ever have to do anything directly with the sparse bundles, however, you may have some trouble figuring that out. Thus I'd strongly suggest using names that are at least slightly different.

How can i update my new iphone with the data from my old iphone?

I recently bought an iphone 3GS after my iphone 4 was stolen but when i try to sync the new phone it says the software is out of date. (when i was telling the guy at the apple store about my phone being stolen he said when you get a new phone just sync it to retrieve all the information stored on there. Is there any way i can retrieve the stuff from my old phone? I would like my messages, notes and apps from my old phone on my new one.

Just to make sure - You're saying you had backed up your iPhone 4. When you plug in the 3GS, and try to "restore" the data from the iPhone 4 backup onto the 3GS, you get that error? Check to see if the iOS version is up-to-date, and hopefully it isn't. It might also be because your iPhone 4 wasn't, and is causing some sort of problem.
Good luck!
