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.

  • 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.

    You can use the same apple id for two separate phoones to share apps/music, however you would need a separate apple id for both phone for imessage/facetime/icloud.

  • 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,
    trippj

    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

  • HT1386 if we have 2 iphones, each with different contacts and calanders, how do we sync them separately on the same itunes account?  how do you switch icloud accounts?

    how do you change apple id on icloud on iphone 4 if you already have chosen an account?

    itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts.  It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users.  That way you share purchased items.  But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.

  • How do I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?

    How can I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?

    The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method                
      Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    Also, I would go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods... for syncing automatically so that you can more easily check what you want syned

  • Syncing 2 iPhones on the same iTunes Library

    Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library? So games etc get synced to both phones? BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?

    "Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library?"
    Yes.
    " So games etc get synced to both phones"
    Yes.
    "BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?"

    Itunes recognizes each device, so you can set each to sync whatever you like.

  • Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?

    its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
    has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?

    You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
    Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
    Unplug that device.
    Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync.

  • 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.

    How do I set up a second iphone on the same iTunes account but give my wife ability to have her own calendar and contacts?

    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. it will work. I am using it through this

  • Using 2 iPhones on the same iTunes account

    My fiancee and I are wanting to use both of our iPhones on the same iTunes account because she doesn't download music and I do. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it so she has access to my account and I am scared I will mess something up and have to reset the phones. I am not sure as to the state of her appleID or itunes, either way everything on it was stuff I have given her so not a big deal really. Any suggestions? I imagine it is fairly simple but its frustrating me lol. 

    Not sure what the  issue is.
    Please explain
