Two iPhone Problems

1. I loaded 4,500 photos on the iPhone, all the 2007 folder currently in iPhoto, and now when it syncs, it loads any additional photos from iPhoto. In case I want to bulk delete photos, how can that be done without deleting them in iPhoto and then re-syncing? It'll take a while to delete them one-by-one!
2. Syncing iCal only got the most recent two months. How can I make it sync then entire ICal i have on the iBook?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Jim:
Thanks - I should have known Apple would have provided for both of those!
Also, should have titled the post as "Questions" i/o "Problems". iPhone has not been a problem, in fact, a solution.
In Fla week before last in woods, 3-4 miles from a base station. Got an email of acceptance in SF conference the next week. Used iPhone to accept, email to coordinate with management, then Safari to get Southwest "A" boarding passes, cell to get JetBlue to SF, all from the cab of a truck out in the woods, plus weather maps of impending rain and wind!
In SF, wired as it is, superb uses just like Jobs demoed. Patched in wife and daughter in cell calls, wife in DC, daughter and me in SF. Found hotel I'd forgotten the name of when most were all booked, BART station stops on map, muni stop arrivals. Great.
Thanks again for your help!

We have two iPhones, one iMac, and one iTunes account. Can someone tell me an yeast way to manage each iPhone separately- that is -- when we connect each iPhone how do we keep our contacts separated? this is a real problem. Thanks

We have two iphones , one imac , and one itunes account. Hope someone can tell me an easy way to synch each iphone so that our contacts stay separate. I would like to share itunes music etc but not synch the same contacts to each phone...major problem... Thanks!

You have a few options which are detailed here:

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

I have two iPhones. I upgraded to IOS8. Now both iPhones ring when one is called. What is the problem?

Ever since I upgraded to IOS8 my two iPhones, with separate phone numbers, ring when one iPhone is called. I think the same thing is happening with FaceTime. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

I turned off the cellular calls on facetime, but now when I call my wife's iPhone 5 from my iPhone 6, it goes straight to her voicemail. But when she calls me, I can receive the call. Any ideas as to what the problem might be and a remedy for the problem??
Do you see a crescent moon next to her battery on her home screen?
If you do that means do not disturb is on, either access the control center - and click on the moon icon or
settings - do not disturb - off

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Problems unlocking two iPhones with t-mobile. And advice pl

Hi
I have many lines for my business with t mobile, in November I got two iPhone 5s, now I don't pass these upgrades on to my workers as they trash phones.
So I thought I would keep them as presents for my nephews for Christmas, as they are on griff gaff, I phoned tmobile to unlock as I've done in the past.
Anyway I got the text last week to say they are ready to unlock connect to iTunes. This where the problem starts, iTunes does not unlock the iPhones, I've called tmobile now over 8 times, they say that their systems say the phones are unlocked when they are not . The money has being paid to them to unlock them but iTunes does not do the unlock. Now after many calls tmobile has washed their hands of this problem and told me to call apple.
But I can't call apple as the phone support has ran out with them. So I'm left with money out of pocket and two iPhones that my nephews can't use.
Can anyone from apple please advise me on what action I can take here?

Does anyone that works for apple read these forums?
No. There is no one from Apple here, we're all users, just like you.
Don't know what else to tell you...T-Mobile sends the IMEI numbers to Apple, Apple adds to the database. Either T-Mobile hasn't done their job, or not done it correctly. Only one way to find out.

TS2755 Problem: Both iPhones share incoming and outgoing Text Messages. History: We used the same Apple ID for TWO iPhones. Later we changed the Apple ID on ONE iPhone.

Two iPhones were set up using the same Apple ID. iPhone#2 was updated 4 months ago with a new Apple ID. Both phones continue to recieve text messages for either user. Texts from user 1 or 2 to a 3rd party are signed as the same user. iPhone#1 is an Apple 5, iPhone#2 is a 4s. All phones on the same Verizon account. IOS have been updated regularly.

Go to your imessaging settings and check to see that the phone number for device #2 is changed good luck.

Problems with two iPhones with iPhoto

I have one computer which I sync two iPhones with.
Both phones sync fine in iTunes and I have had no issues.
However, only one of the two iPhones will show up in iPhoto. Looking at the Image Capture program, it does not even see the second iPhone either. I have tried rebooting both the phone and the mac, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

Do you have any pictures taken with the iphone on the second iphone?
If so, you might need to delete a few and then try to see if iphoto will recognize the iphone.
Also, try a reset on the iphone.

If a reset does not work, you might want to try a restore.

Wifi connection problem with two iphone 4s

Just installed a new Linksys E-1200 wireless-N300 router. We can not connect two iphone 4s at the same time.
If one gets an IP address, the other can not. If we switch off the wifi on the one connected then we can get the
second iphone 4 connected but not both at the same time. We have DSL with ATT. Any suggestions?

A Tale of Two iPhones and One iTunes

So this little problem has plagued us for years... nearly three to be more precise. We have two iPhones and one PC. Wife syncs contacts with GMail and I sync contacts with Outlook. Funny thing was that the tab for contact sync would not 'stick' with the phone... if I synced mine first, when I plugged hers in it would still be setup for Outlook. Or if I changed it to Google for her and then plugged mine in it wouldn't remember my phone wanted Outlook and would sync with Google. I gave up trying to get it working and setup a seperate profile on the PC for my wife that really was only used for her to sync her phone. The only drawback we could see was we couldn't have a single repository for apps and I had to add music to libraries twice (one for each profile on the computer).
Well, now that we're on the 4S I thought I'd see if iTunes has evolved since 3 years ago when I gave up. I uninstalled all Apple applications and loaded the latest iTunes. The cool part of iOS 5 and the new iTunes is we don't have to connect phones any more So now both phones show up at the same time. I can toggle through all the tabs and see how they differ... different sets of applications are selected, different photo options, music options, etc. EXCEPT the tab with contacts. If I set her phone to google, my phone changes too. I set mine back to Outlook and hers changes to Outlook. We've mixed and matched contacts several times trying to get them to stay in tune and that is a huge PITA to clean up.
I tried the Genius bar. The Genius answer was that we should probably do a restore on the phone. I asked him to help me understand how restoring one phone would solve a problem that existed across 4 phones (two 3G's and two 4S's) and untold versions of iTunes over three years. He just insisted that we probably need to do a restore on the 4S. You know, because that would clearly explain the problem we also had on the 3G. His backup plan was to call Apple support.
So before I submit a ticket to Apple, anyone else able to confirm this limitation? I've checked with my friends and the ones that have iPhones don't sync their contacts anywhere. iCloud will help but we use XP and the PC software requires Vista or better so for now we're still unable to sync our contacts to our PC.
Thanks!

On your wife's phone, when you said you've done a restore, was that a restore from backup or as a "new" device? I would suggest deleting the .ipsw file/files on your computer, connecting your wife's phone and restore as "new". When finished, DO NOT SYNC, rather eject the phone and test, verify that all is working correctly. If so, connect her phone & sync her content back.
The .ipsw file is located here, delete all you find, there should only be one:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
If this works, under preferences, devices, in itunes, delete her backups, as they are most likely corrupted.

Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

Easiest way to untangle two iPhones on one iTunes account

I blame myself for this problem.
My wife and I have two iPhones. I'm into the music so I set up an iTunes account a long time ago for my multiple iPods. It's now come time to disengage my wife's iPhone from my iTunes account. I know how to set up a new iTunes account. I'll get her a separate e-mail address and create the new iTunes account. The problem is I do not want to lose all her photos, contacts, etc., from her iPhone when I go to link her phone to her iTunes account.
I'm guessing if I set up the new iTunes account and then back up her phone to the new account's iCloud file I may be able to get around most of these issues. Is that correct? Please advise if not. Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Wife and I use same iTunes account (log in for iTunes) for our stuff.
We both sync with same computer.
However, we have separate logins for the computer thus we each have our own Profiles.
While you can do it with one profile (iTunes knows difference between phones) it will become a pain if you sync contacts/calendars as you only have one set on the computer thus you may end up mixing your data there. This is why you should have different logins for your computer thus.
Using one iTunes account does make things easier though as you only need to buy an app once and sync it to both devices (can do that with two accounts as well if both are authorized together in iTunes but becomes a pain).

Upgraded to iOS8 and now two iPhones that use the same apple id are receiving the same calls

I have two iPhone 5s, one for work and one for personal use. Since upgrading to iOS8 I am now receiving work calls on my personal phone as well as my work phone , so both phones are ringing at the same time. I'm looking to stop receiving work calls on my personal phone, any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ashliegh

I'm sorry, but it isn't a problem, it is a feature. While you may find it something you do not like, then you need to change the settings as I described earlier. This is part of how continuity works.
Apple has never supported downgrading of iOS, so don't expect that to happen. If you have done what I said, the need to create and connect to another Wi-Fi network is not necessary. All you have to do is turn it off. Apple did not program anything wrong.

Two iPhones, one icloud ID for imessgae and facetime???

I have two iphones, 3Gs and iPhone 5 and I am having problems activating the iPhone 5. The 3Gs has been activated and I can use it to send and recieve imessages but the iPhone 5 keeps telling me activation unsuccessful and when I check the send and recieve at section, the number (grayed out) is that of the 3Gs instead!
What could be the problem??? Do I have to create a different account for the iPhone 5 and how do I let it display the telephone number of the iPhone 5 instead of that of the 3Gs???

that's right, sync it with your library but also make sure that your sister does not do it again as it will keep changing.
You may wanna disable contacts sync with the iCloud on her device by taking her device and go on settings, iCloud & switch off contacts.
