How do i sync contacts on two iphones from the same computer without merging the contacts

I called tech support and they suggested I set up a separate user account on my computer and that should create a new windows contact file (which it did).  When I sync the iphone from the new user account, it seems to still be syncing to the windows contacts folder in the main administrator account and not the newly created account.  iIconfirmed this because i deleted one contact from the iphone and one contact from the new windows contact folder.  I then did a sync and no changes occurred on phone or the windows contact folder in teh new user account.  I then went to the original user account and teh name I deleted from teh iphone was deleted from that windows folder.  I am not able to select any different folder to sync contacts with in the itunes "info" tab. Do I need to set up under a completely different computer?

I called support and they helped me realize the " sync contacts with windows contacts" was unchecked (maybe I didn't click sync or apply when I first checked it?).  He helped me clean up some unnecessary contacts by clicking the contacts box in the advance tab and removing names directly from the windows contacts folder before syncing.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

    Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    The US Apple Store accepts US-issued credit cards only. And they will ship only to a US address. Whether or not a physical Apple Store would accept a Lebanese credit card I don't know.

  • Duplicate Contacts After Syncing Two iPhones from the Same iTunes

    My husband and I each have an iPhone that we sync from the same iTunes account. We sync our Yahoo contacts as well. Following the upgrade yesterday, we each now have each other's Yahoo contacts (as well as our own) showing up on our iPhones. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached for iMessages at. Uncheck the phone number that you don't want to use and check/select the number that you do want to use on each phone.

  • How Do I Sync 2 Apple ID's from the same iPod to my Mac???

    I am currently using two different Apple ID's to purchase and download content on the iPod appstore. The reason I need two accounts is because my first account is Singaporean, and can not redeem gift cards. I have no credit card or paypal and thus I resort to gift cards to purchase paid apps, thus I had to create an American ID to be able to use the gift cards I had.
    Now my iPod is broken.
    It needs to be fixed soon and I've been trying to sync everything on it to my Mac, however I faced a problem.
    Everything was able to sync: music, videos, photos.. except the apps from my second Apple ID. All the Apps from my first account are already synced into my Mac, but the once from my new ID, the ones that I paid for, are unable to sync over. How do I resolve this?

    Hmmm...
    I have two IDs (for a different reason) and I've never had a sync problem.  Check your iTunes settings here:

  • How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

    I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone.  So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

    The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
    Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
    If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

  • How do I sync iCal with two iPhones?

    Simply put, I want to share my schedule with another person via iCal through iCloud. Can I just add an account to iCal and then it just works, or what more do I have to do? I want to be able to sync two different iphones on two different macs to the same calendar. PLEASE HELP. a Yes or No would suffice, and if YES please tell me how to do it! Thanks!

    You don't.  I asked Steve Balmer (CEO of Microsoft) and got this reply from his staff:
    Thank you for your feedback and your interest in Outlook for Mac 2011.
    Steve's office forwarded me your mail and asked me to reply. Outlook 2011
    syncs with Exchange and Office 365 calendars, but as you point out there
    is no consumer calendar service that syncs with Outlook 2011. Here's what
    I do to work around the lack of direct sync: I keep my family calendar on
    Hotmail Calendar, which works great through Safari on my Mac (and also
    other popular browsers like Chrome), and syncs directly to my iOS devices
    and my PC. I understand your frustration with not being able to see your
    personal calendar directly in Outlook for Mac. Contrary to your
    impression, we've never promised to add this feature, but we strongly
    consider customer feedback like yours as we plan future versions. Thanks
    again for your feedback and for taking time to write.
    Thank you,

  • Two iTunes accounts on Macbook, but syncing music to two iPhones from one?

    My wife set up her iPhone up on her account on our Macbook, but all of our music is in my account. i want to put music on her iPhone, but iTunes warns that all content on her phone will be lost if add music manually. She has no music on there, but has apps. Will they be erased? if so, is there a way around this. I don't want to copy all of the music over to her account as that would, it seems, double the HD space used...

    Because you have separate accounts, if you try & sync her phone to your itunes account, yes ALL itunes content(including apps) will first be erased from her phone & then replaced with the content from your library.
    What you can do is this: Put all of the content you want on her phone on your phone, from your account. Sign in to her itunes account, disable auto sync, under preferences. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, sign your wife out of her account, sign in to your account , Store>Authorize this Computer, then>File Transfer Purchases(all itunes purchased content on your phone will be transferred to her account, music ripped on your own, won't). For music ripped on your own, use a thumb drive to copy to her account. Once finished, sign out of your account, sign your wife back in & sync what you want to her phone.
    I should add, you can share apps, music, etc. between each other using this method both ways: you sharing with your wife, her sharing with you. Sharing of content this way is permitted under the EUSLA.
