2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 2 users, 1 iTunes

I have been searching for a while, but have not found the answer I am looking for, although it seems to have been asked and answered in one way or another many times.
I have 1 iTunes ID that I use to synch my iPhone and my iPad and my wife's iPhone and iPad.  My computer is the only place that the music, pictures and videos are stored.  In trying to set up her iPad FaceTime and iMessages, it lists my phone number and iTunes email address.  I can add a different email address and turn off mine, but how do I deal with the phone number?  Her iPad is cellular and Wi-Fi and mine is Wi-Fi only.
I do not want my texts, etc sent to her iPad and she can't use that app with my number on there either.  How can I get her iPhone number on her iPad and still have her be able to access the music/videos/pictures, etc from my computer?

Well, it's time to plan an attack:

    Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of  posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
    There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
    My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
    And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
    There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
    I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
    To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol

    @Chris:
    I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
    I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
    of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

  • Syncing m4b files to iPad / iPhone via iTunes

    Wondering if anyone else ran into a problem syncing m4b files to their iPod/iPhone via iTunes.  I was able to import these into iTunes with no issues, but when I try to transfer them to my iPod or iPhone, they do not show up in the list.  Anyone knows why?  I thought, m4b is Apple format.  I was able to convert the files to mp3 and get them over that way, but that's a pain in the neck.

    That particular Kbase article is the inverse of the question....
    It describes device to computer transfers but says nothing about transferring from computer to device.
    In fact, the implication from that article is that it CANNOT be done!

  • Please help! ipad/iphone to itunes syncing problems

    For the past few days I've been having problems getting my ipad to take the new update.   Everytime I would tell it to update it would either freeze shortly into the backup or it would tell me that "itunes could not back up the ipad " " because the ipad backup could not be saved to the computer".  Anyways, I finally thought I fixed this by following the steps of deleting the backup, etc.  After I did that, it started giving me an error message of "itunes could not back up the ipad " " because a session could not be started with the ipad".  I've looked at other error messages associated with this, and they seemed to point at a direct ipad-itunes problem, but whenever I tryed to sync up my iphone, it gave me the same message.  It also is not connecting to the itunes store (will only say itunes store on a white background), but will download updates and things. I've taken down all potential firewalls, and I'm just plain stuck and confused right now.
    Please someone help me... I feel like I'm losing my mind being unable to figure this out!

  • IPad/iPhone Calendar Invites have wrong dates

    When I create a calendar event on Outlook 2010 and it that spans into more 1 day, Ipad/Iphone shows the invite as 1 day late.  For example, created a meeting that spans from Monday @2:00 pm through Tuesday 4:00 pm.  iPad/iPhone users sees the invite as Tuesday through Wednesday which is essentially a day late.  I have the iPhone Set Automatically on Settings - General - Date & Time.  I also have the iPhone set to Time Zone Support (loca) in Settings - Mail, Calendar and Contact = Scroll down to Calendar and selected local time zone.  Anything else I am missing?

    On your iPhone, go to settings and then mail,contacts,calendar,etc. Change your default calendar to Entourage.

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter.  How do I fix that?

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect.  Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it.  Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes. 
    Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

  • How do I set up my wife's iphone in itunes ,on her user account on same laptop as mine?

    Hi, sorry if this is a common question but I couldn't see it pop up when I started typing it...
    Basically I already have my iphone working nicely with itunes on my laptop. Up until now my wife has been happy with doing the absolute minimum with her iphone but now wants to get some music put on there,
    I've created a user account in her name on my laptop and installed itunes there as well.
    I've added some music to her media file.
    But when I plug her phone in, nothing happens.
    If I then open itunes manually, it shows the music in the library, but there's no option to sync with the phone and nowhere I can see to set it up as a new device etc.
    The computer is authorised.
    Any advice gratefully accepted.
    Many thanks

    Hey there RedRock1966,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your wifes iPhone in iTunes when you connect it on her account. I would start with this article to help troubleshoot that named:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
    If the issue persists, I would use the troubleshooting in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Small Business Deployment on End-User-Owned iPads/iPhones

    Background:
    6 employees (6 iPads, 5 iPhones) at an architectural firm
    Need cloud-syncing of large PDF libraries of drawings and CAD files for use in the field
    Office server is Windows Server 2003 (currently locked-down to local LAN & wi-fi only, no external access (boss' fear of security))
    Office workstations are Windows-only (I've got Macs at home)
    We have just been gifted iPads (personally-owned) to use for work/play and I received the tasks of setup & deployment.  I would prefer to implement a controlled system to limit my headaches, this isn't entirely possible because these iPads were given as personal gifts and the employees would raise ****.  After downloading/researching the Apple Configurator, it seems like it creates too much of a locked system - so end-users couldn't have their personal Apple IDs on their devices and buy/configure their personal stuff while being managed (work-purchased apps and PDF/CAD deployment) by me.  Correct me if I'm wrong. 
    MDM implementations seem a little overboard.  $$$
    I have come across the iAnnotate app, which syncs with Dropbox (I can convince my boss to pay for Dropbox for Teams).  While I would rather rely on an Apple-developed app (iBooks) to manage our library of PDFs, iAnnotate seems stable through user reviews.  AutoCAD WS would be used for CAD files, with Autodesk's built-in syncing service.
    1. My headaches aside, should I have each user buy/download/update apps with their personal AppleID and reimburse them (or gift them through iTunes from our corporate account)?
    2. How could I control the wiping of a lost iPad/iPhone?
    3. Any other recommendations for deployment in my situation?

    boss would rather not have iTunes
    The name is rather unfortunate in your situation. iTunes came out as a way buying music for the iPad.  Apple had iTunes around, so they added features over time.  It's now a device manager for all Apple i devices. It's more than a way to purchase music.
    Do you take the iPad on customer visits.  iTunes can load presentation on iPad.
    If you sync the iPad on multiple computers, check this out.

  • How to add iPhone folios to iPad app in iTunes?

    My ipad app is in the itunes store.
    I have now built separate folios for the iphone 3/4 and iphone 5. The folio names are identical to the iPad app. I need to update the app to make these iphone folios available for download in iTunes app store. I have not "published" the iPhone folios in the DPS Folio Producer yet.
    Once I publish the iPhone folios in the Folio Producer, are they going to available in the App Store or do I also have to update/create a new multi-folio app with App Builder (selecting iPad and iPhone but using the same original app name/id) for them to be available to iPhone users?
    Not quite sure how this all works. I've read this:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/create-folio-renditions.html
    But still don't quite understand the iTunes part of it, and don't want to do this, wait a week for the app to be approved in iTunes, only to find out the iphone apps aren't there.
    Thanks!

    Did you set up the original app as both iPad and iPhone?
    If so you just need to publish your iphone folio's and they will appear in your app when viewed on an iPhone.
    If you didn't set it up as both in the first place, you will have to start again and do an Apple update
    Hope that helps a bit

  • My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

    Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

    It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.
