2 iphones on one mac? Is this possible?

If I were to buy 2 iphones (one for me and one for my wife), could we have both phones linked to the same iMac? Are there any limitations to this? Would we share itunes library, etc?
Thanks!

Dan,
It is absolutely possible to have 2 iPhones for one mac. iPhones are separately recognized by iTunes, just as different iPods are. As long as both phones are synched to the same user's account, the iTunes library would be shared. If you each sync your phone to separate accounts, the iPhone has access to the iTunes library associated with that user's account.

Not easily, unless you backed up your data.
Did you? If not, let that be a lesson to never install anything without a backup:

I'd like to copy my workout DVD's on my mac, then play them on my Apple TV so I won't wear them out and have to buy new ones. Is this possible?

I've recently purchased some workout DVD's and was wondering if I can copy them to my mac, then watch them on my Apple TV so I don't wear the DVD's out and have to buy new ones. Is this possible?

so I don't wear the DVD's out and have to buy new ones.
DVD's do not wear out from being played. Nothing makes any physical contact with them to cause any wear.
And yes you can "RIP" a DVD and add it to iTunes which would let ATV play them.   You will need to Google RIPPING DVD though for details. It violates the terms of service for the forum to talk about it here.
And in response to Rudder'scomment ALL DVD's are encrypted.   That is why you need HandBreak (and VideoLan) to decrypt them.

The best way to use 2 iPhones on one mac

What is the best way to use, sync, etc, 2 iphones with one mac book pro?
Looking to optimize!

I'm hoonesstly not sure about the second mobile me account. My guess would be that you will need another one though. The only way to see her calendar is to log into her user account. Not a problem if you have her password.

You are allowed to have two working installations so if you want to have it on two machines you can. If you want it on more than that then you need to manage which ones are working at any given time such that only two are usable.

I want to copy my iTunes library onto my iPhone without iCloud. Is this possible? In past you could drop & drag upon syncing....now only download via iCloud?

Do you have manually manage video and music set up?

I would like to access both my iTunes and my husbands iTunes on the same computer. However, we still want our separate logins for our devices (iPad, 2 iPhones) for purchases. Is this possible?

Is there a way to have one computer hold both my iTunes account and my husbands iTunes account at the same time. We do not want to log in and out, but want to be able to access both purchases on the same computer (songs, movies, etc). However, we want to keep our accounts seperate for purchases on our devices. Is this possible?

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

How do my wife and I both share photos from our iphones to one mac via clouds photostream?

My wife and I have seperate apple store id's, and we have one main mac desktop updated with lion and icloud.
when I take photos on my iphone 4 it synchs and shows up via photostream to my mac desktop.
When she takes a photo using her phone, it doesn't show up. How do I sync her phone to be able to send via photostream to the same desktop?

Decide which ID will be the primary iCloud ID. For example, I chose my iCloud ID to be the primary iCloud ID for both devices and the Mac to receive the Photostream. (Since iCloud IDs dont cost anything - you could set up a new one just for this purpose - which would have the added advantage that the other iDevices will not be able to access the email for the primary iCloud ID)
On your device (let's call it the primary) turn on iCloud and ahve all the toggles you require set to on.
Delete the existing iCloud ID from your wife's device.
Sign in to iCloud on your wife's device with your (or the newly created iCloud ID)
On your wife's device turn OFF all the mail, calendar, contact toggles (so that your wife doesnt get all your personal content - emails, contacts, calendars etc) in the iCloud panel
Create a new Mail account in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your wife's device with her iCloud ID so that she can receive email, calendars etc.
On the Mac - use your iCloud ID as the primary iCloud ID. This will ensure Photostream content arrives.
If your wife primarily uses this Mac - do the same set up performed on iDevice - ie turn off mail, contact, calendars in iCloud and create a new Mail Account in system preferences with the email address.
Hope that helps

Syncing iPhone with one Mac but not another

I have a home Mac and a work Mac.
I want the iPhone 3GS to sync with my home Mac, and it does so perfectly.
Sometimes I'm at work and I need to charge the phone, so I plug it into the work Mac, and it launches iTunes and attempts to sync with it (which, if I let it continue, would erase all my loaded stuff). I always stop it manually.
I see the option in iTunes checked for "Always sync the iPhone to this Mac" (or something like that). If I uncheck it, it fixes this, but next time I go home, the iPhone doesn't sync with the home phone because this option unchecks itself at home too!
So how do I make sure it syncs to the home Mac, but does not erase itself when plugged into the work Mac?

From the user guide, page 16, http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
You may want to prevent iPhone from syncing automatically when you connect iPhone to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.
1. Turn off automatic syncing for iPhone: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected.” You can always sync by clicking the Sync button.
2. Prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods: In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Devices, and select “Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods. If this checkbox is selected, iPhone won’t sync automatically, even if “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” is selected in the Summary pane.
3. Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar."
I use option 3 without any problems.

How to sync Mail addresses of 2 iphones on one Mac

Me and my wife have two iphones and only one Mac. We want everything the same on both iphones, except addresses which we want different.
How to sync them ? I have read various complicated answers. Please, one in plain English. Thanks

1º, set you iTunes no to sync automatically, you can do it on the iTunes preferences.
2º click to open iTunes holding the option Key on your keyboard.
3º create a new iTunes Library, naming with your wife's name.
4º set up movies, music and etc, chose not to copy the music and films to iTunes (avoid duplicate) itunes will play all from original folders.
Now you can sync each phone with different library and etc.
remember to always have iTunes set not to sync automatically and to hold the option key while opening iTunes to be able to chose the library you want, your's or your wife's.
you also will be able to use the same iTunes store id with both libraries, just set it up.
I have 5 iPod classics, 2 iPhones 4 and 1 iPod touch all of them I sync with the same iMac.
There is another way, like renaming each phone with a different name, but the above option is the best for you due to different addresses and etc.
REMEMBER TO SET UP THE AGENDA IN YOUR MAC CORRECTLLY TO AVOID SAME ADDRESSES IN BOTH PHONES.
ANOTHER WAY ALSO IS TO CREATE A DIFFERENT USER ACCOUNT IN YOUR MAC, ONE FOR YOU AND ONE FOR YOUR WIFE DUE TO THE ADDRESS BOOK SET UP (AGENDA ON THE MAC).

HT2731 I would like to have a Canadian itunes account, and a UK one. Is this possible?

I have a Canadian iTunes account, but now live in the UK so would like to have a UK one. I don't, however, want to give up using my Canadian one. Is it possible to have both at the same time?

Not without an address and credit card in both locations.

Is it possible to sync an iPhone to one mac for music only and another mac for everything else? What about shared iPhoto?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage my iphone and that of my wife.
Our set up is that we share music that is on my imac under my apple store id. We also like to have all of our photos in iphoto on that imac.
She has her own macbook and I'd like to use icloud to sink her personal bookmarks, calendar and other stuff.
I've thought about seeing if I could set her phone up to sync with icloud as appropriate, turn on wireless sync on her imac for syncing everything but music, then sync that same iphone on the imact but just sync music.
I've tried to point her macbook to my imac itunes library and that doesn't seem to be working very well.
The other wrinkle is that she is taking photos on her iphone that I'd like to show up in our shared iphoto library and photo stream. Currently we have our individual icloud apple ids so we may sync our own bookmarks and such and we use a separate "store" id for music and apps and such. I'm not sure I see a way for me to merge iphotos into a shared library/stream?
1. Any thoughts on the best way to manage two iphones, each with their own computer, but a shared music library?
2. Any thoughts on the best way to merge iphoto?
I've been experimenting with setups and I have a feeling folks with more experience have probably worked this out better than the way I'm thinking of doing.
Thanks.

Multiple transform/assigns for one variable - is this possible?

Hi,
What I am trying to do is read in a complex XML file. Transform some data, add some other data from another source and update a table in the database with all data.
So currently I read in the XML file.
Do one big transform to map the majority of data to the input variable of my database adapter.
I then call a stored procedure to get some ID values.
I have then been trying to add these ID's to the input variable of my database adapter. Tried both transform and assign, but these seem to overwrite the big transform which I previously did.
Is it possible to update the same variable in more than one transform without overwriting the values set previously?
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your help.
I've tried playing around with the <bpelx:insertAfter> command referring to your Blog.
I have a couple of questions, perhaps you could help me with them.
1. I noticed that once I have added this command into the .bpel file I get an error within the designer view. Is this to be expected or am I doing something wrong?
2. Is it possible to specify the XML tag which is used and also use an XPath query?
The code I have added is as follows:
<assign name="Assign_GlobalsToInsert">
<bpelx:insertAfter>
<from variable="InvokeGlobalsGetGlobalsOutputValue"
part="outputParameters"
query="/ns1:outputParameters/GET_VALUE"/>
<to variable="ReceiveFileReadInputVariable"
part="DATA_FILE"
query="/ns3:DATA_FILE/ns3:DataLine/ns3:FinalLine"/>
</bpelx:insertAfter>
</assign>
When I tested this it did add and element with the correct value as expected, however the XML tags were <GET_VALUE> as specified in my query section of the from command. Is there anyway to use a different value for the tags?
I currently get <GET_VALUE>99</GET_VALUE>
I would like to use <TRANS_ID>99</TRANS_ID>
Thanks very much for your help
