Two iPhones, two computers, one family MobileMe account

My wife has an iPhone and a MacBook. I have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro. We have separate IDs on one MobileMe family plan. Up til now when I update my iCal on my Mac it shows up in her iCal on her Mac and visa-versa. But the only way to get that information to our phones is to hard sync each phone to each computer. Is it now possible when I update one of my devices it will go to all of her devices and all of mine, and when she updates one of her devices the information will wirelessly to to all of both our devices? If so how is this setup?

After digging through forum after forum this seems to be an issue with iOS 5, or iOS in general, more than about Office 365/Exchange Online. There are numerous Google threads about using ActiveSync and Gmail that result in the same issue. This really seems to be an Apple issue. Has anyone received feedback from anyone at Apple about this? From those that have on other forums there is just finger pointing between Apple and Microsoft and Apple and Google, none of them are taking responsibility for this.

Two iPhones tied to one Exchange Online Account, duplicating contacts

I have a user that has two iPhones and an iPad syncing to his Exchange Online account. He has all the devices syncing using activesync. He has an issue where it duplicates all of his contacts on his phones, and duplicates again, and duplicates again until he has more than five copies of each contact on each of his iPhones. This is only happening on the phones, not the iPad or the Contacts online or in Outlook. This morning I removed all the Sync accounts from his two iPhones and his iPad and set them up one by one and tested to make sure they didn't replicate. The tests went fine and there weren't any issues. This afternoon when he went to add a new contact, it started syncing multiple copies of each contact and does so on each phone. The iPad and one iPhone are on iOS 5.0 and on iPhone is on iOS 4.0.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

Two iPhones, two iTunes accounts, one PC

Hi. Is it possible to update/back-up two iphones using one PC? We have two iPhones, each with a seperate iTunes accounts, but would like to update the iPhones software using iTunes on one PC.
This has come about because we can't seem to update the software for one of the iPhones using the laptop we normally use for the one iPhone. We've tried everything, but we keep getting an error (no. 9006). I have spoken to Apple, and they say it is my anti-virus software blocking the update. However, I have completely uninstalled the anti-virus software (AVG) and tried the update again. This didn't work either.

Creating a second account in windows would be the easiest way to separate your accounts on one PC.

I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people.

Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

We have two iphones and only one ipad. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids. How do we get our ipad to accept this?

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.

Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

One LapTop One iTunes & Two iPhone & Two Apple ID

One LapTop One iTunes & Two iPhone & Two Apple ID
1.
I like to start from the begining. Empty iPhones & empty iTunes. Reset all.
How do I restet all My iPhones and iTunes. And make empty even My iTunes account?
2.
I like to have two tottaly different iPhone set-up. Different applications and
different music, and different contacts. (I have two account!)
Info:
1 ID: ChristianPaprika (iPhone purcased in Amsterdam, The Netherlands use with
Apple Gift Card) iPhone name: ChristianPaprika
2 ID: PaprikaChristian (iPhone purcased in Budapest, Hungary use with credit card) iPhone name: PaprikaChristian

Ejects the harddrive?
Of what did your old Mac die?
It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere. Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
Good Luck.

Two iPhones - Three Computers

Sorry for the long post here... but I am stumped.
I have two iPhones... one I just purchased this week and one that I have had for a couple of months. I also have two PC's at home and my company laptop.
I am having problems syncing my wife's iPhone to her PC... I can go back to my PC (BTW this is the iPhone that is a couple of months old) where the iPhone was setup and intialized for service and it syncs and backs up fine. On my wife's PC I can see her phone in iTunes... but go to sync and backup... it just flashes on the phone for a second and nothing happens. I have thought about doing a restore... but there are quiet a few contacts on the phone that I really don't want to chance loosing.
Issue two... I just noticed on my new iPhone that I purchased this week that I am experiencing the same thing on my (home) PC... the only difference is I can reboot the PC and it seems to take the sync... at least it shows in the sync records as being a good backup.
Are there limits to iTunes or the iPhone to the number of devices you can sync or backup.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW... I have also removed and reinstalled iTunes on her PC and still have the same issue.
Thanks,
Ronnie

I understand your problem; my wife and I each have an iPhone and I do the syncing for both. I previously used a Windows machine for this, and had many problems, most due I suspect to using that particular flavor of Windows. I could sync under different user names but it was a hassle keeping two copies of iTunes up to date, since I buy and use most of the music and video and had to make choices for her iPhone based on what I thought she might like to listen to or watch. Now that I use a Mac the syncing process is much smoother.
As for the contacts, if you're using Windows, all your contacts...yours and your wifes'...are backed up in the Windows Address Book, whether you use the WAB or not. This can lead to some interesting scenarios if either of you have some contacts you want to keep private. Find the .wab file in your Windows folder and by backing that up, you will be backing up your contacts. By renaming the backup you should be able to do a restore if by chance you overwrite the file with a sloppy sync.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

Can i bay two iPhones every day or every customer account ? because i need more that two

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

Two iPhones two separate calendars?

I use my iPhone for work and play, wifey uses her for play only.
I have a lot of calendar entries via Exchange (work) and she (as a result of us sharing a single account via iTunes) gets all the updates etc that I get as a result.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this - ie two iPhones, two iCal calendars?

When she syncs her phone to (presumably?) your itunes, she needs to UNCHECK the calendar sync in the info pane or else she will continue to get your events.

I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc but can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account"

I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc (64bit) but I can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account". I can login on website icloud.com but can not login into iCloud application installed on pc. What's wrong?
I have tried another free apple ID and logged on. That's funny when I can login with free account and can not login with paid mobileme account!!!!!!

By the way - the only reason I downloaded iCloud is because Apple deleted the backup option from iTunes. Since iCloud doesn't work, I guess we have no way to protect our iTunes music collection. Absolutely stupid.
