How can I sync two iphones to the same itunes account without deleting

My husband & I both have iphones & we share the same itunes account. He just got a iphone 4 and we are trying to transfer his music from the old phone to the new one but we are unable to do that. There is a msg that says if we choose to sync all the songs will be replaced with music from the itunes library. So does that mean he will lose all the music on his phone, replacing it with my library? Help Please!

I asked a simular question. It is confusing indeed.

  • CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

    Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
    Thanks,

    Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
    It worked for me

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • How do I sync different iPhones on the same iTunes account?

    I want to be able to sync two different iPhones on the same iTunes account. I want to be able to sync different music and movies. Can that be done?

    "is there anyplace I watch a tutorial for this?"
    Not really. And it's not that difficult at all.
    Plug it in, select it and select what you want to sync.
    " An APPLE rep told me to check Sync only checked songs and videos
    Manually manage music and videos"
    You can do it this way but it's a lot more work.
    (Apple reps are just people like you and me and don't always know everything)
    "And he told me to uncheck Sync Music in the music tab"
    I would not recommend this especially if syncing more than one device.
    Create a playlist (or multiple) for each device.
    Select the music tab and sync only the playlists you want. Then add/delete from these playlists to add/remove from the iPhone.

  • HT201269 can i sync two ipads to the same itunes account

    Getting an ipad 4 to replace original ipad, but want to keep both "in-sync" together, can this be done with the same itunes account?

    I have an iPod Touch and two iPads and I was syncing them all to the same iTunes library. I use the same Apple ID on both devices.
    Transfer all purchases from the original iPad into iTunes, backup the iPad and sync with iTunes. Then when you set up the new iPad, restore from the backup of the original iPad and sync with iTunes - and both iPads will be identical. The only thing that you will have to do on the new iPad is to enter all of your passwords since they will not restore to a new device from the backup of another device.
    Transfer purchases.

    You can use iCloud to keep all documents, reminders, calendar events, bookmarks, etc. in sync as well. If you go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and turn on automatic downloads, you can download apps, music and books to both devices and keep those "in sync" as well.

  • Can I have two iPhones on the same iTunes account under the new apple terms?

    I have two iPhones (4 & 3GS). Is it possible to have them using the one iTunes account or do they have to have separate accounts? I had heard that there may be a change in the apple terms so that you cannot do this, but not sure if it's true?

    You can have as many iPhone and other iDevices as you want associated with your iTunes account.

  • HT1386 can i sync 20 iphones with the same itunes?

    can i sync 20 iphones with the same itunes?

    From tt2:
    In brief...
    You can sync as many devices as you like to a single library.
    Up to five computers can be authorized for your account's protected content.
    Each device can hold protected content from up to five different accounts.
    Managing apps purchased with more than one account is a chore.
    A combination of up to 10 iOS devices and computers can be authorized for automatic downloads of your purchases.

  • Can I use 2 iPhones with the same iTunes account? help...

    At the moment I have an iPhone 3G but my wife doesn't. I have a Windows Vista machine at home that has all our music in iTunes and all the apps I have downloaded from the app store. We only have 1 login to our windows vista PC that we share, we don't have individual signons.
    On Friday I will be upgrading to the 3Gs and my wife will also be getting one.
    My question is can we sync both iPhones with the same PC using the same Windows login and the same iTunes account, i.e. share all music and apps with both iPhones?
    Thanks

    However, You can't use more than one computer for that iPhone.

  • How can I sync 2 iPhones to the same mac?

    Hello,
    My wife and I share the same macbook but each have an iPhone 4s we would like to back up and sync. Are we able to back up both phones onto the same macbook and then download all the content (especially contacts) onto our new iPhone 5s? If so, please advise on how to do so.
    Thanks!

    Hey,
    1) Music Brought on the iPhone will be synced across to your Computers iTunes,
    2) You can sync two iPhones to a single iTunes, when you plug your mums old one in just click this is a new iphone on the new iphone wizard which will happen when you plug the device in for the first time, then click sync all your libary will be synced across to the phone.
    Do 1 first if you want all the content you brought on the new iPhone to go accross on the old one (if it has enough space)

  • How can I sync my Iphone to a new iTunes account on a new Mac Book as no longer have the old Mac Book and im unable to use the same Apple ID, I want to sync music to my Iphone from my new Mac Book, new Mac Book and iphone in same Apple ID???

    Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?  ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
