Two iphones, one iTunes account, two icloud accounts

Hi,
I have two iPhones, one  privat, one from my company.
I would like ...
... to have all music, apps, books bought via iTunes to be on both iPhones - use same Apple ID for iTunes account?
... seperate calender, contacts, todos - use different Apple IDs for iCloud?
Is there still a way to have all pictures taken in one common photo stream?

I have the same question.  My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate?  I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options.  How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account?  Please help

  • Photostream not working - two iphones, one itunes account, two icloud accounts

    Hello,
    My wife and I both have iphones (both 4s). I have had mine for some time and she got hers last week.
    We have one itunes account. We have two icloud accounts.
    We cannot get shared photostreams to - my phone will not receive invites from hers. It works the other way round though.
    All the settings are correct and switched on.
    Please don't send me to the FAQ page as I have tried everything on there to no avail
    Thanks
    Matt

    The quickest and easiest thing to do is take the desired iPhone and connect it to the desired iTunes account. This most likely will erase and data on the iPhone and replace it with the data from the itunes account it is connected to.

  • How to manage 2 iPhones one iTunes account and a shared iPad on iCloud?

    My wife and I both have iPhones with separate contact lists but share the same iTunes account. To complicate matters further we also have a shared 'Family iPad'. I have updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 5 and iCloud. I am unsure what will happen when I update her phone to iOS 5 and iCloud? Will it replace one of our contact list with the others or will it merge the lists resulting in lots of duplicates on both our contact lists? To be honest I'm happy to share calendars, photos, music etc.. But don't want to wipe one of our contact lists. Any advice on how I can manage this going forward so we can both use our iPhones but share the iPad?

    I updated iOS 5 to my own phone and my iPad. When I updated it on my wife's phone I made sure I selected for it not to sync contacts, calendars etc... With iCloud when asked during install. once it was installed on my wife's phone I then went into settings and turned on the each thing individually that we wanted to share ie it's useful when she adds a calendar date that it appears on all our devices. However, I left off syncing her contacts with iCloud so we retain separate contacts. Problem is that with you iMessage with people from the iPad it goes to both her phone and mine? Think it may be time for a genius appointment.

  • HELP!  Two iPhones, One iTunes Account...

    My brother-in-law and sister-in-law both have iPhones and they share an account.  He just called me to sign in and find his iPhone because he can't find it and it pulls up his wife's.  I knew this would happen if they share an account, but is there any way to retrieve the location of HIS phone?

    It doesn't matter that they have the same iTunes username and password. Like I said earlier, we do that here and it will show all phones. You said in the earlier post "Mr Smartypants doesn't have the app on there" and I told you he doesn't have to have the app on the phone. The app is to track "other" devices, not his own. It just needs to be activated as I said in my earlier post.If it isn't found, he either didn't activate it, the battery is dead, the phone is off, or it wasn't lost, it was stolen and the thief has powered it off, remove the SIM, turned off Find my iPhone or location services or has restored the phone.

  • Two iphones one itunes account

    My wife has an iphone and i'm getting mine this week, i want to share the same photos and music on the phones but want differnet contacts and calender.

  • 2 iPhones, one iTunes account

    Sad to say this topic confuses the AT&T people as well as the Apple. Is anyone running two iPhones from one account.
    EX. husband and wife both have iPhones with one home computer!!! Any help would be great!

    That statement ("it can't be done") is not true at all, and I hate that you received bad info like that. I don't know if you already have an iPhone or not, but each iPhone is recognized separately by iTunes. You can set different settings for each iPhone and tell iTunes what to or not to sync when each iPhone is connected. (The syncing options work just like they do for iPods through iTunes). For instance, I had AT&T transfer all of the contacts from my old phone and my wife's old phone to a USB drive and then imported both sets of contacts (per AT&T's instructions) into Outlook. I set up a folder for her contacts and then a separate folder for my contacts. My iPhone is set to sync my contact folder only, so when I connect my iPhone, only my contacts are synced. Likewise, my wife's iPhone only syncs from her contact list. The same thing can be done with Music, Calendar, Photos, etc. Both of our iPhones have completely different media on them, but they are both synced from the same home computer. Hope this helps!

  • 2 iPhones, one iTunes account. Can I restore my 3gs without erasing my iPhone 4s?

    I previously used my iPhone 3gs.  I then upgraded to a 4s and did it through iTunes. 
    I wanted to keep my 3gs as basically an iPod for my kids, but they recently got their own iPods, so I now want to sell it.
    Unfortunately, my seven-year-old added a password to the 3gs and can't remember what it was.  We've tried about 50 different ones to no avail.  So, I can't manually restore it to factory settings through the iPhone menu.  I have to do it through iTunes.
    I'm just worried that iTunes will delete my current 4s information in the process.  It recognizes that they are two different iPhones when I connect them individually.  I gave each one separate names so that my old one pops up as "iPhone 3gs" and the new one "iPhone 4s."  So my hunch is that it will treat them as separate devices, despite the fact that I transferred my entire iPhone to the 4s last year.
    Any thoughts?  Am I just being paranoid?  Worst case, can't I just save my 4s info back onto my iTunes if it gets wiped away by accident?
    Thanks!

    What you do to one iphone has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

  • 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).

  • Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How to separate them. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

    Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How can I separate them in iTunes???????. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

    The reason you are receiving each other's text messages is because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To prevent this you need to use different IDs.  (Note: you can still share the same ID for iTunes.)  On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
    To migrate your 3GS to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone to your camera roll.  To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Next, if you have any notes that you are syncing with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to email these to yourself so they can be recreated after moving to the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone.  Next, sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account, turn iCloud data syncing preferences and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, if you have merged data in the two accounts that you want to separate you will have to go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

  • HT4972 Can you have two iPhones to the one iTunes account? I am overseas and using the old iPhone 4 here, but also have a current iPhone 5.

    I have two iPhones, a 5 which I currently use and an old 4 which I use as a second phone as I am overseas. I have connected both to iTunes. Does this cause any problems have two phones on the one iTune account, as far as updates, etc goes?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It won't cause any problem. Moreover, you will be able to share the purchases between both phones and have the same information by using iCloud, so you don't lose anything

  • Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts

    Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
    Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
    Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

  • How do i sync one itunes account with two iphones, one ipod touch, and a nano?

    I need help in how to sync the one itunes account we use as a family with the two iphones my wife and i have and an ipod touch that my son has and a nano that my daughter has. Please help.

    That article applies, as far as I can tell, to all things called iPod X where X can be nano, touch, classic etc.
    We don't have two iPhones in the family as yet but as I understand it each device can have separate settings for syncing calendars and contacts. For example my iPhone syncs these over the air with the Exchange server at work so if/when my wife gets an iPhone it would be easy to have hers sync to our computer
    To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.
