2 iphones with one account

Forgive me, I know this question has been asked before but I can't find the info I need. I am going to get a 3g iphone when it comes out. But I may keep my current iphone. can two iphones be used on one account? thanks for your help.

You can have two iphones on one computer and you can choose entirely different items (playlists, songs, podcasts,etc) to sync with each iphone.
You can also have two iphones on one AT&T account, but you do have to pay for the unlimited data plan on each - if you want all the features (i.e. visual voicemail) to work on each iphone.
As far as itunes(mobile - iphone app), If you want to buy music from both iphones itunes application, I'm not sure how that would work, sorry. But if your not planning to use each phone to purchase music - no issue. Maybe someone knows about this issue.
Hope this helps.

  • How do i set up multiple apple iPhones with one account?

    Iphones are merging contact info and text messages.  sharing icloud.

    If you do not want to share contacts, calendars and email, then you need to create unique iCloud accounts for each device.  If you use the same iCloud account for all, then they inevitably end up sharing the same information.
    As far as iMessages go, again, if you use one AppleID for all devices, then they all share a single iMessage account.  You can get separate AppleIDs for each and create separate iMessage and iCloud accounts for each, and then each device has complete privacy and separate information.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (none need have any payment information associated with them, and none need be used for iTunes or App store purchases).

  • IMessage on two iPhone with one account

    I have two iPhones  under my Apple ID (mine and my wife's).  I am unable to set up my wife's iPhone using iMessage using her email address.  It alway says "unable to verify" or "already in use"  Since her email address is unique to her, there is no way it is already in use.  Need help, thanks!

    OK here is the official way this works...
    1. You can setup alternate emails and register them Apple and your icloud/me account is what is used to verify everything. Basically Apple becomes the DNS service of that email address to route imessages to the correct device.
    2. The reason you see a message about the email address already being registerd is my guess you have used that email address to register facetime on a device that is not a phone (ad phones are usually linked by phone number). Since my primary personal email is on my imac facetime and my work email is on my macbook pro I could not use these two email addresses for imessage as Apple is using them to route facetime requests to those unique PCs. So I had to use my mobileme/icloud email address with my phone and ipad.
    3. Now for my wives iphone and ipad we attached to my mobileme/icloud account but then used her personal email to be the additional address and then you can delete your mobileme/icloud if you put it in there already.
    So no imessage requests to my phone/email go to both my ipad and iphone and my wive's ipad and iphone is unique to her phone and pesonal email for her imessage needs.
    works well but not easy for the average not tech with many devices to figure out...
    ...I'm a tech who has been drinking Apple kool-aid for about 5 years...

  • Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.

    Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.  iTunes is thinking my old iphone 4 is the same phone as my iphone 5C.  When I plugged in my iphone 5C it auto synced my 5C to iTunes and it wiped my 5C and restored it to the same content as is on my iPhone 4.  This is a big problem since my 5 year old has been using the iPhone 4.  It's all Mickey Mouse and Backyardigans.  (Total photo/app/contacts loss)
    I was able to update the 5C and restore from a 3 month old backup that is actually the content from the 5C but now when I plug in my 5C it wants to "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup"  What's going on?  I'm afraid to choose either option.
    How can I get iTunes to see these devices as 2 and not one?
    Can I use my Apple ID on both phones still or is this the problem?

    They were both displaying the same name in iTunes.  I changed the name of the iPhone 4 before the 5C was plugged in but it still went ahead with syncing it to the 4's data.

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

  • How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?

    How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?
    I have rejoined the iPhone community, not with one iPhone but with two. My wife agreed to move from the unenlightened!
    I have set up both under my apple account and want to keep it that way. But I do not want iMessages going to both phones. I would like separate message queues but share all apps and other purches from the store.
    I have created a separate AppleID for her but under Settings>Message>Receive At (it currently says 2 addresses) > ... will not allow me to change the current eMail address and when I add hers (her appleid) it errors out. The only thing I can do in the Apple ID field is to manage my account and not change it to hers.
    How can I have 2 iPhones (and my iPad) on the same account but have separate identies?
    Thanks,
    LpGrumpy

    1. Yes. Restart with the Option key held down as needed.
    2. No, it won't be a problem.

  • How many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.
