My wife and I want to swap her iphone 4s for my iphone 4 while I take a short trip out of the country. We use the same itunes account but have different email accounts. Can we just change our phone numbers with our carrier and change email addresses on our phones so we get correct messages, with out disturbing our other apps?

The email is simple. Just delete her email acoount on her iPhone and configure your account into the phone and then do the same for her on your phone.
The harder issue is that to switch the cellular phone service you will need to switch the SIM cards and the two phones do not use the same size SIM card.

There can be only one emailladdress accociate with an Apple/iTunes ID. However, after you initiall set up the Messages and FaceTime apps with the Apple/iTunes ID you can add another email amessaging/calling addresses and delete the Apple/iTunes email address.

Can I just isynch my phone numbers from my mobile without uploading?

Hi,
i just want to download the phone numbers on my mobile as a backup, I don't want to upload all my contacts, is that possible?
thanks

It depends on the phone. Without knowing which specific phone you've got it's impossible to say whether your phone has this feature.
Have a look in the phone's manual for a *Backup Contacts* feature, or the ability to *Send Contacts* as vCards via Bluetooth.
You'd also want to check whether the phone has the ability to restore any backup you made, otherwise the backup would be quite useless!

My friend just gave me his old ipod touch and I need help figuring out how the put it on my itunes account so that I can add songs and apps to it. Does anybody know how?

Just in case that wasn't specific enough....It's an older ipod touch. He gave it to me as a Christmas gift and I want to keep the songs and Apps he already has on it but I want to be able to add more to it which means I would need it on my own itunes account because I can't add anything to it without a password.

I'd suggest restoring it to make sure you start completely clean:

Then you can sync whatever content you wish:

Why is it that, in HTML documents, other browsers treat both forward and backward slashes the same whether used in local or Internet file names, whereas Firefox only treats them the same in local (PC) names but differently in Internet file names?

I've tested this using several versions of Firefox (from 3.6 to 10.?) under both Windows XP and Windows 7.
Using either a backward slash (\) or a forward slash (/) in an <A HREF="..\home.htm"> link works fine when testing the document locally; but after installing it online the backward slash is no longer recognized as a file separator.
While the mistake was mine, the inconsistent treatment of the two slashes made it impossible to catch the problem until it was installed, resulting in a badly mangled website. Competing browsers (such as Internet Explorer and Google Chrome) don't have this problem.

see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=9107 to use a different cipher and improve speed. might help.
btw are you sure the stuttering is due to pure CPU and not (disk) IO, or a combination of both? look at wait times in top. maybe tweaking your schedulers might help.
also you can take a look at AFP (netatalk package) as an alternative. who knows, might help you.
by the way, did you try webdav?

My husband just got an iphone. I've had mine for a while. We use the same email address so I though we could use the same apple id and password. But now it appears everything on my phone also shows up on his phone and vis versa, even "Notes." Not good.

Do you perhaps have more than one Apple ID? If your response is "No," are you absolutely positive?

If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

I currently have an ipod touch 4th generation for my daughter. I just bought the same ipod for myself. Before I set it all up, i want to know if i can use the same email/apple id for both of them???

My daughter has an ipod touch 4th gen. I just bought one for myself but dont' know if I can use the same email/apple id ??? i'd like to but dont want issues w/ facetime, etc. Please help!!

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure the birthdate yo specify results n an age of at least 13 years old.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Which option do I have to select If I buy the latest iPad with cellular feature for international use? If I choose verizon can I just change the sim card and insert one from another country?

My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPod 4th gen linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to set up a new email address for the iPod so a family member can use it but it doesn't want to recognize the new email account. Where am I going wrong?

I have an iPhone 4 and a 4th gen iPod linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to change the email address on the iPod so a family member can use it but when I do it says it doesn't recognize the email address. Where am I going wrong ? I just want them to be able to iMessage and email without having to use my email address.

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID.

I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same emails. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion?

I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same email. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion? I am totally stuck now.

By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there
