2 iphone to the same PC

My boyfriend and I both have iphones. Mine is backed up our computer already. His was set up with a different computer. Can we use the same computer? If he plugs his phone up to sync what information will be lost? Any recommendations?

We don't do anything other than sync them to the computer. Does that mean that they are not stored on our computer? If I lose my phone is there anyway to get my contacts? Where would you recommend saving them to and how do we do that? I guess I assumed that's what the computer was doing when it was syncing

Syncing 2 iPhones on the same iTunes Library

Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library? So games etc get synced to both phones? BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?

Yes.

Yes.
"BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?"
Yes.
Itunes recognizes each device, so you can set each to sync whatever you like.

HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.

Can I use multiple iPhones on the same iTunes account? e.g. my wife and I each have iPhones

Yes, you can have as many devices - iPhones, iPods, iPads - as you like using the same iTunes account.

My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
The use family sharing to share apps
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
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 you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-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.

How do I sync different iPhones on the same iTunes account?

I want to be able to sync two different iPhones on the same iTunes account. I want to be able to sync different music and movies. Can that be done?

"is there anyplace I watch a tutorial for this?"
Not really. And it's not that difficult at all.
Plug it in, select it and select what you want to sync.
" An APPLE rep told me to check Sync only checked songs and videos
Manually manage music and videos"
You can do it this way but it's a lot more work.
(Apple reps are just people like you and me and don't always know everything)
"And he told me to uncheck Sync Music in the music tab"
I would not recommend this especially if syncing more than one device.
Create a playlist (or multiple) for each device.
Select the music tab and sync only the playlists you want. Then add/delete from these playlists to add/remove from the iPhone.

Using 2 iPhones on the same iTunes account

My fiancee and I are wanting to use both of our iPhones on the same iTunes account because she doesn't download music and I do. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it so she has access to my account and I am scared I will mess something up and have to reset the phones. I am not sure as to the state of her appleID or itunes, either way everything on it was stuff I have given her so not a big deal really. Any suggestions? I imagine it is fairly simple but its frustrating me lol.

Not sure what the issue is.
Please explain

3 iphones on the same iTunes account receiving each other's calls

I have 3 iPhones on the same iTunes account and they were receiving each other's texts. I adjusted the numbers to send and receive under messages in settings, but now they are receiving each other's calls. Which settings do I need to go to?
Thank you

The phone calls going to other phones/iPads is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off.

Two iphones on the same itunes account can have access to each other's messages?

can 2 iphones on the same itunes account to read each other's messages somehow?

Yes, if both users are using the same apple id for imessage, you will see each other's message.
So use different apple id.

I mistakenly registered my wife's and my iPhone under the same account on the same computer, albeit with different passwords. How do I separate these phones?

This mistake has confused the account somehow and actions done on one phone often have an effect on the other. I took these phones back to the dealer where they were purchased a few months ago, and they were able to correct some of the issues, but we still have problems. The latest is that my wife password would not work on her Apple ID account so she changed it successfully, but a few days later when I tried to update an app on my phone, and in trying to sign in to iTunes, it showed her name instead of mine, and of course, would not accept my password.
When we first bought these phones about a year ago, I registered them both inder the name "R & P's iPhone" and tried to assign different passwords for the 2 phones, but as I recall, this was not successful. We let it go at that, inasmuch as we had not explored the phone's features much beyond making simple phone calls. But as time went on, and we began installing apps and using other features, this conflict has showed up more and more often. Now I am told by the dealer that one cannot register 2 phones on the same computer, which sounds odd to me, but whatever, we are prepared to start over & register the phones on different computers, under different names.
I have an iTunes account, but is this where you make these changes? All I see on iTunes is related to music & movies.
Thanks kindly for any advice.

I access a personal iPhone and iPad, and a business iPhone with the same Apple ID.
The iPhone's passcode lock feature is completely separate from another iPhone or iOS device.
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. If some apps were downloaded with one Apple ID and then a new Apple ID is created, in order to download an app update that was installed with the original Apple ID requires using that Apple ID and password.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem. It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

HT3529 will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

Create a new Apple ID for the one you want to change.

HT5622 We have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.
