2 Iphones..1 desktop

I recently purchased a Iphone, and so far throughly satisfied. Now my son would like one.
Can 2 units share the same desktop without conflicts?
Can I have 2 Itunes accounts on the same desktop? If so how does that work? Does he boot up my Itunes account, and just change the log in? Or do I need TWO Itune icons on the desktop? One for each of us?

You can have 2 iphones on one itunes no problem. The best idea is of course create another user account for your son so he can keep track of his own music, calendar, contacts... if you have a mac, go into system preference, click "accounts" and click the little plus sign to add an account for your son. This is essentially like dividing your computer into 2 computers, one for you, one for your son.
I don't know what you mean by the same itunes account, but if he wants to purchase music, he can simply log out of your account and log into his. Having 2 icons on the desktop does nothing, it's simply a shortcut to the same program.

  • Connection between iPhone and desktop Mac

    OK so just how connected are iPhones and desktop Macs now? I ask because I just deleted mail from my iPhone and it [seemed] as if the same mail was deleted from my iMac. And this was not mail using my iCloud addy.

    Yes that is what I observed.
    There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.

  • Iphone like desktop app

    Hi,
    I am new to AIR development . I need to build an iphone like desktop app in Flex. is there any open source code for the look and feel  and the buttons of iphone  ?  is there any sample abode air application / web application ?
    Thanks,

    No - the iPhone does not include a rules feature to sort recieved messages by category, and you can't create mailboxes with the iPhone's Mail client. The iPhone's Mail client is a compliment to the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, not a replacement for.
    With an IMAP account along with storing all user created mailboxes on the server for sorting recieved messages by category, all server stored mailboxes will be available with the iPhone's Mail client and kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. If you keep the Mail.app on your Mac launched and running, any sorting of received messages to user created server stored mailboxes based on rules with the Mail.app on your Mac will be reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client. This is not possible with a POP account.

  • Getting **** emails on my ipad but not on my iphone or desktop

    I'm getting tons of **** emails when I open my Yahoo account on my iPad, but not on my iphone or desktop. I'm afraid to open them to 'unsubscribe' to try to stop them. How can I make them stop?

    It's any iOS device that supports automatic uploading to a iCloud. Hopefully Apple can introduce this feature to iWork on OS X, either by future updates to its operating system or its iWork applications.

  • Why can't I log-in to my Apple account from my IPhone or desktop

    This post has nothing to do with operating/understanding my IPhone. Rather,it's about my Apple ID.
    I've been trying since "time immemorial" to log-in to my Apple account from my desktop and IPhone. Impossible. Everytime I try from my desktop, it says the ID or password is incorrect. When the Sign-in page opens, my default email is already there. When I type in a password, it always says the ID or password is incorrect. If I click on Forgot Password, the next page show Email and Answer security question options to reset the password. I've selected the Email option about 6-7 times in the last 24-36 hours. So far, I've not received an email with instructions on resetting my pasword. Nothing in my spam folder either. If I select the security question option, the next page comes-up and says Your session has timed-out. Try again. A couple of times, it took me to the two security questions, I answered them and it says the info doesn't match what Apple has.
    If I click on Create an account, as soon as I enter my ID (email address), it says that ID is already in use. If that is so, WHY am I not receiving the emails, on how to reset my password, that Apple supposedly has sent?
    I've also tried to log-in to the ITunes store, from my IPhone, to download a free app and I get the same thing - ID or password incorret. I managed to be able to log-in to the ITunes store from my desktop without any problems.
    What I'd like to know is, what in h___ do I have to do to be able to log-in to my Apple account from my desktop and IPhone?
    I'm at the point that I'm going to just get rid of my IPhone and go to Samsung. I'm sure I would get better service, support wise, from them.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    BTW FYI I had to create an entirely new id/password in order to be able to get into this forum.

    Hi
    Thanks for the replies.
    Sorry I did mean to say Hub I know about the Hub working without being logged in its just that:
    A) when I contacted BT (last Friday) they said that the order had not completed yet.
    B) Because of logistics I needed to set up the wifi as soon as I could (its a long story) and something told me to get registered before I tried the Hub in case I had a problem getting connected.
    I have tried to contact BT again today and have been on "HOLD" for at least 2 hours finally when I got speak to someone I was told he would have to connect me to a colleague then put me on "HOLD" for 15 minutes then when I was connected to his colleague after telling him all the problems I was cut of I thought that the guy would have had the decency to phone me back but NO so I had to go through all the rigmarole of waiting to try and speak to someone again after being on "HOLD" for 45 minutes I spoke to a lady who said that the problem had been passed to the technical team and that the gentleman I spoke to on Friday should have told me 2 working days and not 48 hours.
    The nice Lady said that I should hear something tomorrow (Tuesday) personally I am not taking any bets on it.
    Why do these company's like BT promise the Earth and deliver nothing if some one from BT had the decency to return a call and say sorry the problem is being looked into I could have accepted that.
    Had a problem with BT in the past when a unknown trailer became dislodged from the towing vehicle the trailer then felled the Telegraph pole carrying our line when we contacted BT to report the "fault" they said they would run a check on the line, they then said the line was working fine and that there was no problem???
    Had to wait 28 days for the pole to be replaced.
    DS I will go with your idea and send the details to the modarators.

  • Matching Notes formatting between iPhone and desktop

    Ever since I switched from Marker Felt to Helvetica as the Notes font on my phone, I've had trouble getting the text to display in a consistent manner between the phone and my desktop after notes are synced (via iCloud). For example if I make a note on the phone, the type lines up cleanly on the lines. But if I make any changes, type sizes change and are inconsistent within the note itself, and type no longer diplays anchored to aline, but rather sort of floats above or below. I've tried every Helvetica font size in Mail's preferences for Notes, but nothing works right. Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thank you...
    FH

    Yes that is what I observed.

  • Design Studio working for ipad,iphone, and desktop

    Hello All,
    I'm new to the SAP design studio world. My first task that has been assigned to me is to see what is the capability of Design Studio to have a singular file and have the CSS be reflective of Iphone,Ipad and Desktop.
    1) Is this even possible? There is very limited document out there discussing in depth about design studio
    2) If possible what has to be done to be able to get something like this to work?
    3) I guess if all is good how maintainable is something like this.
    I understand design studio is still pretty new and a lot of people are still using Dashboard Design, but any insight on this would be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    Scottie

    Hi Scottie,
    in addition to the valid information from Tammy, you cna refer to the PAM for supported devices. in Mobile area thesupported way is to use SAP BI Mobile as entry point.
    to your question, you can create the application once and then open on desktop or iPad. I would be carefully with iPhone, as this is small device and not all components are supported (see documentation).
    Also, it is today a bit tricky to change the CSS based on the device - there will be a better way in 1.4 release as there it will be possible to get the client header sring in BIAL scripts. and by that you can assign different CSS classes to the components.
    welcome to Design Studio!
    Regards, Karol

  • Tags/Keywords : iPhoto iPhone / iPhoto Desktop

    Can tags/keywords be transferred from iPhoto iOS to iPhoto Desktop? I just bought the iPhoto app for the iPhone and haven't been able to import the tags to import to the desktop version. Is there anyway that I can tag my pictures ON MY PHONE that allows me to import them to my desktop using smart albums???

    No.  The two apps are different and independent from each other. 
    However, you may be able to export your photos out of your Mac's iPhoto library to a folder on the Desktop with the options to include keywords, titles, and other metadata, and the transfer that folder via iTunes to your iPhone.  The metadata might get read.  You can ask in the iPhoto for iOS forum if that workflow would work.

  • View iPhone on desktop and play apps?

    Is it possible to view your iPhone on the Mac desktop and play your apps etc. I realise this requires multi-touch and wouldn't work properly but it would be a handy way to check some of your apps out without without having to go through the phone looking for them.

    Is it possible to view your iPhone on the Mac desktop
    No.
    play your apps
    iPhone applications can't be used on a Mac outside of the emulator bundled with the iPhone SDK, and can't be used on a PC at all.

  • Trying to create a hostname network between iphone and desktop

    I am trying to make a remote connection to my desktop from my iphone in order to use iControlBits App and Transmission on my desktop.
    I have a hostname which I created with dyn.com and the Mac OS X client installed on my Mac and it has a green light.
    I enabled NAT port forwarding on my Airport Extreme.
    I have a Motorola SurfBoard Cable Modem that has a dyn.com setting, I turned that on.
    I have read that this function on the SurfBoard does not work, also I am not sure if I still have to do any port forwarding on the modem/router.
    I love any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?
    Thanks,
    Henry

    This is a possibility. But please be aware using your Mac to emit a WiFi connection is a temporary solution. And it will get a short range unlike an actual WiFi Router. Also you may find it to be unstable at times. The Airport Card in your Mac was not designed to be a full time Router WiFi emitter. But more of a receiver to get the signal and use it for personal use.
    1. Unlock the network on your Mac make it an open network
    2. Go to your iPhone, Settings-Wireless-Tap on blue circle next to network name, Choose Forget network
    3. Now go back, It will rescan and find an open network, Connect, and see if Safari works
    If Safari works, Then you had a Security issue. Try using WEP 128 bit 13 character passkey or WEP 8 Character Passkey.
    Cheers and best of luck

  • Photo from Iphone as desktop picture doesn't work

    Hello,
    I use my Iphone for a lot of pictures. When I transfer them to Iphoto, they look fine. However, i would like to use some as my desktop picture and they come out very big and cut half of the picture off. I have gone to edit, crop and tried changing the picture size but nothing seems to work. Pictures from my regular camera have no problems. Thanks for your help.

    get rid of "get selected finder items" action when saving a workflow as a finder plugin. That action is automatically included. the plugin should work ok without it.

  • Exchange Mail will not Send mail from Iphone when Desktop computer Shutdown

    A client of mine has an Iphone that I have setup to connect to his Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server using Activesync. Everything works fine and dandy until he shutdown his desktop in his office. Than he is no longer able to send any mail from his Iphone but is able to receive it no problem. Anyone have any insight on this problem?

    Your problem is with Cox and Cox not having an authenticated SMTP server.
    Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server and I'm not sure why - especially with laptops and devices such as the iPhone so popular.
    I'm a Time Warner/RoadRunner customer for cable and internet access and I quit using my RR email account several years ago for this very reason. I switched to using my .Mac account as my primary personal email account which has an authenticated SMTP server. I'm able to send messages with the account regardless the internet service provider used for internet access. My business POP account also has an authenticated SMTP server and no problems sending with this account either - via a number of different Wi-Fi connections and EDGE.
    I suggest seriously considering switching to another email account. A Gmail account is free, can be accessed as a POP or IMAP account with the email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's email client, has a good spam filter at the incoming mail server, and has an authenticated SMTP server.
    If you ever move or decide to change your ISP from Cox to a different ISP, your email account and address will not need to change. You can access and send messages with a Gmail account with any ISP - the same with a .Mac account. And you'll have much more server storage space than Cox provides.

  • Can i play music from iphone to desktop speakers?

    I need to create sound effects for a play, skipping the theater's tech board, and would like to run a cable from my iphone 4s to some old desktop speakers I have. Will this work? What kind of cable do I need?

    connect one end in the iphone and the other in the lineIn or micIn of your computer
    analog signals are the same so if your speakers have RCA or a female input minijack then you can get cables with those connectors it's all generic cables not special ninja trick apple connectors

  • Problem Sync appointments from Iphone to Desktop

    I have a 3GS with the latest firmware and for some reason calendar events I add to my iPhone never get synced to my desktop even though I have MobileMe and the account set-up correctly on my phone. Appointments from Desktop get to Phone fine.

    If you are syncing calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, try the following.
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your MobileMe account.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. This will delete all calendars and calendar events from your iPhone - select Delete From My iPhone at the prompt provided to save the previously synced calendars locally on your iPhone or delete. Wait a minute or two for the calendars and calendar events to be deleted.
    Follow this by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing. Add a new calendar event on your iPhone and check if the new event is available with your MobileMe online calendar and with iCal on your Mac.
