2 iphones, 1 itunes

My husband and I both have the iPhone 3G and use my computer to link to iTunes. Can he buy apps that I have already downloaded if we use the same account or do I need to set up a new account for him? Also, his phone is currently set up under my account so do I need to restore it and treat it as a new phone if I'm going to link it under his account?
Thanks!

You can both use the same iTunes Store account. In that case, the apps can be shared across both devices (if you have different accounts, you need to buy the apps twice).
I currently have my wife's and my iPhone 3G, and an iPod Touch, all syncing to the same computer using the same iTunes Store account, and sharing apps (different but overlapping sets). You can choose different playlists, different photos, etc., and iTunes will keep the devices straight.

HT204266 How can I change my iphone itunes ID to match my ipad itunes ID?

I need to have my iphone itunes ID match my ipad itunes ID. When I set up my iphone, my email was different than when I set up my ipad. Therefore, Do I need to use an email as the id or can I use something different so that they will match?

Settings/itunes & app store tap on ID you see there and log out then log in with other ID

How do I undo an iPhone iTunes sync? Most of my apps were deleted!

I am migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. I restored my iTunes Music and Video library, now I'm trying to setup iPhone and iPad sync'ing.
When I tried to sync music to my iPhone, iTunes gave me an error saying this phone is associated with another iTunes Library. This is
referreing to my old XP library.
When I did a "sync" of my music, most of my apps were deleted. How do I restore these? How do I tell iTunes that I want that the
"other" iTunes library (under XP) is gone. Do I need to restore some other files/directories to get devices to sync without deleting
stuff?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am VERY frustrated right now!
Thanks,
Gary

You should have put all of your apps on the new computer.
Whatever is not on the new computer will not be on your iphone.
If you failed to put your apps on your new computer, then you will have to redownlaod them.

Best practice on managing two iPhones / iTunes accounts

I have always used two computers / iTunes accounts for my wife and I's two iPhones. Last week my iPhone and home computer hard drive both crashed (what are the chances. I am now pulling all data off my AppleTV and I am trying to decide how to set everything back up:
1. Put all content on wife's Toshiba laptop (Win7) and manage two instances
2. Buy a new Harddrive and reset up my desktop (which will only be used to manage digital media and occassional surf.
Any thoughts? How simple is it to manage two iphone/itunes accounts from one machine. Last posts I saw look like a bit of a pain, because I have to manage my music (the bigger amount of music) in playlists.
Opinions appreciated!

You're welcome.
Can I import the same music into both iTunes instances.
Yes, as long as your authorize the computer for each account that the music was purchased under, e.g- if the music was purchased under your account & you want the music in your wife's library, you would use her computer login, launch itunes, sign her out of itunes, sign in using your itunes account details, Store>Authorize this Computer, sign out, then sign her back in.
Do I need to just add one new user
Yes, and I assume you want full administrative powers, so you should set up your account as an administrator.
Once you've set things up this way, transferring purchased content(Apps & music) is real easy. Simply launch itunes, sign out of whatever account you want to transfer the content to, sign in using the account that has the content on the phone, File>Transfer Purchases, sign out after doing so & then sign the other party back in.
You also want to make sure that you disable auto sync when an iphone is connected under preferences in the edit menu. Do this for each login. You DO NOT WANT TO SYNC to each others account, just File>Transfer Purchases. That way you can share apps & music, which is permitted under the EUSLA for family members in the same household.

[iPhone] iTunes always asking app authorization

Hello everybody !
I have a trouble with my iPhone 3G and my Windows Vista SP1 (latest iTunes). Due to a software problem, I had to FULLY restore my iPhone (so I reinstalled iPhone OS, and I used the factory restore), and now everytime I sync my iPhone iTunes tells me that "this computer is not allowed anymore to use the apps...", so I need to be ALWAYS connected to Internet to sync, and when I allow the computer, as usual it tells me that computer is already allowed.
I tried to reset all the authorizations (3 out of 5), but I can't since there is not 5 out 5 authorizations.
Any help ?? Thanks !

Hello,
thanks for the link, I just found it few minutes before you replied
I've put this method to the test since a week, and it works
Thank you again !

IPhone iTunes skipping songs

Music that used to play like normal on my iPhone iTunes are now being skipped. I have synched my phone back up with my computer and that helped for a time, but now it is doing it again. I see the song and title come up on the screen, but then it is shuffled to another song it can play.
What is going on?

IPhone & iTunes - cutting music short

Looking to fix my iPhone iTunes - it will randomly stop playing music or switch to the next song before the current one is over. I have seen hundreds of posts about this from users but absolutely nothing from Apple on this issue. Honestly, I don't care who gives me the answer, I would just like to know how this gets fixed.

I appreciate your inputs but this isn't a simple issue fixed through the Apple "R's" and given the number of similar issues by other users, I do not think its hardware related. I love my iPhone (and all my other Apple products) and know that this issue has to be defined by someone and a patented fix available somewhere. Do Apple techs respond on this forum?

IPhone + iTunes + Vista 64bit

Is the iPhone/iTunes not compatable with Windows Vista 64bit edition? Everytime I connect my Phone to my PC I get this message:
The software required for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again.
I have tried to uninstall and re-install iTunes atleast 4 times.. Doesn't fix it.

My Desktop PC, My Laptop and my Wife's Laptop all run Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. So I don't have a 32bit computer.
Also on the box it doesn't say that 64 bit isn't supported. Also on the apple.com website I only found one place it says 64 bit wasn't supported and you have to dig for it..
Also when I bought my iPhones I bought them from a AT&T Store and at the store I bought at they got them from the back and immediately scanned it then put it in a bag and sealed the bag shut and told you you couldn't open it until your off their property.. So even if it was on the box which its not I couldn't have known until I got home from the store....
So I have 2 iPhones which I was able to get activated when I went to Washington State to visit my family I just hooked up to my Dad's computer and activated but at home in Virginia I can't sync contacts, emails, or upload my music, etc...

Can I restore iTunes on my computer using my iPhone iTunes?

Can I restore iTunes on my computer using my iPhone iTunes? I messed up the cover art on many albums; they are still correct on my iPhone.

Thanks so much for your quick response. I may not have stated my problem quite clearly enough. I am not getting more than one album cover image per song or album. Instead, each song is separated out in my iTunes as a separate album.
This only happens when there is more than one artist on the album, or on the "duets" albums. See screen capture of my iTunes attached. I am hopeful that there is a way to get these separate song images all back under one album.
Thanks much for any suggestions.

I know I answered you before on this but can't find the thread. Guess you didn't like my answer. Your phone was illegally hacked to unlock it and when you updated the phone it relocked it back to the original carrier. This made the sim you had in the phone useless and therefore it cannot activate the phone. Nothing can be done in these forums to help you fix your problem as it is against the TOS to discuss illegal unlocking or jailbreaking the phone.
