2 iphones but dont want to sync them the same
Hi
We have 2 iphones my wife has the new 1 and I have the old 1
The problem we have is all her stuff is getting onto my phone so I end up deleting a load of crap, can anyone tell me how we stop this as I have a new apple Id she has the old one but all the old is coming onto my phone with the new id.
Totally baffled tried almost everything we know, which isnt much
Thanks
D
When the phone is connected go into iTunes and select iPhone under devices (left-hand side). Navigate to each tab (Music, apps etc) and you can check exactly what you want to sync. Also make sure 'automatically sync apps' is unchecked

My iphone 4 dont want to start beyond the apple logo
my iphone 4 dont want to start beyond the apple logo
Hello diyaakaraman69,
That symptom is listed in this article (it is having problems booting),
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
1.Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2. If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
3. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Note it suggests a restore as described here:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Please go through that article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I NOW HAVE 2 PALMONE TUNGSTEN /E2'S I WANT TO SYNC THEM WITH SAME INFO. PLEASE HOW???
My daughter gave me her palm because she has gone to other stuff. I love my Palm and I would like to sync them both so I could use one especially for Travel purposes while my 'baby' sits safely at home. All suggestions would be woulcome. TNX HP12thman
Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Syncing two Palm PDA's to one HotSync account is not something the devices were designed to do.
I/we here who offer our help here in this Forum have heard numerous reports of scrambled devices, and data saved in Palm Desktop caused by performing this task.
There is a tedious way to do this safely though. Whether you feel it is worth the trouble is up to you!
You need to designate one of the devices as the "Master", the other the "Slave". Erase the Slave device via a Hard Reset, then sync it to Palm Desktop. Palm Desktop will recognize the device as blank and will ask you "Create a new account, or use and existing one?" Choose existing, and pick your normal account name.
FROM NOW ON you have to change all the Conduit settings in Palm Desktop to "Desktop overwrites Handheld" whenever you wish to sync to this Slave device!!! If you don't, you will risk scrambling all the data for both devices and Palm Desktop...
In essence, you are creating a simple "Backup Device" that does not get updated while on the road. Any updates have to be done in either Palm Desktop or the Master Device. When doing a HotSync to the Master device, the conduits have to be reset to "Synchronize".
I'm sure you can see the probability of making a mistake can be high.
Many of us perferred using an on-device backup system named "NVBackup". This saved an entire mirror image of the data to an SD card in the device. However, if you are worried about the slave device being lost or stolen, this won't be of much help.
Good luck! I still have two Palm TX PDA's that work like brand new!

When I try to search for the same book on iTunes store it gives me an option to buy book and there is no warning or indication of this book being purchased by me already. I can go on and ask Apple to reimburse me for the second transaction, but it's a headache.
Any ideas?
Thanks!You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.

Bought apps via AppStore on phone, but iTunes wants to delete them; huh?
I bought some apps via AppStore on my iPhone, but iTunes wants to delete them when I plug it into my Mac --> HUH?
What's going on? How do I keep iTunes updated with items I buy via the phone itself?Do you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If you didn't have Sync Apps selected prior to downloading these apps with your iPhone, selecting this after the fact will delete all apps on your iPhone that are not in your iTunes library on your computer.
With Sync Apps selected which should be selected from the start, after downloading an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. This allows for downloading apps with iTunes on your computer and installing the apps on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. This also allows for removing an app from your iPhone without deleting the app by deselecting the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync.
With your iPhone connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Follow this by selecting Sync Apps under the Apps tab and make sure all 3rd party apps currently on your iPhone are selected below followed by selecting Apply. -
When the first ipad came out i set it up and created an itunes account, since then she got an iphone and an ipad and everything was good. I had an android but wanted to try out the iphone. When i set it up ut jumpled all of our contacts, apps, and everythin. it was a mess.
Since, i purchased and ipad 2 and an iphone and to keep our stuff from combing i used a different computer and created an new apple ID for myself so our info wouldnt combine, I was wondering if i did the right thing or if i should have went about it a different way. I was going to see if there was a way when she purchased a song i could get it. I dont want to pay for the same song twice and only want to share songs. If i cant do this can i copy her library and paste it into my itunes??
Any help wouldl be greatly apprecieated we both have icloud set up but i cant figure out the best solution.Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. -
hi i need help
hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everythingThe right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu. -
i am in the recovery mode but dont want to restore iPod, because of having a lot of films inside still want them.
Unless this program will get the iPod out of recovery mode. you are out of luck:
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
You iPod encountered an error and a restore, which includes erasing the iPod, is required.. Restore from the most recent backup you have.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

i have one computer and 2 iphones i want to sync music on. but we want different music on the phones. is there a way i can make 2 libraries on 1 itunes?
You can create an alternate library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
But it is easier to create one or more playlists and sync by selected playlists. You can have some playlists for both phones and others for just one phone.
Here are some other tips: How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 -
Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

i have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer. i was told there was a way but not sure how
for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer. -

Me and my partner have both just got the iphone 5s previously having the iphone 4s our contacts have synced to each others phone which is very fustrating and i dont no how to fix this issue please help
Do your contacts exist individually elsewhere? If not, you're stuck. If you have the contacts elsewhere (email, Outlook, FaceBook), one of you can turn off your iCloud contacts and elect to remove them from the iPhone. Your partner needs to do the same so that the list of combined contacts ceases to exist. Have your partner dlete the current account (from the iPhone) and then generate a separate iCloud account. After that, you can each restore contacts from individual sources.
