2x iPhones 2x People Need to keep info separate Help Required
I have just got two Apple iPhones for my business (One for me & one for my girlfriend)
Now here is the big questions;
Both phones are for me and my partner and we have different requirements for usage. The phones will be used by me for my business and my partner for her education course, studies and work placements.
This is to work and synchronize on the following system of 3x computors:
G5 Tower (Used by both me and my partner on my log in)
Macbook Pro (Used by me out of the office while on the road)
G4 Laptop (Will be used by my partner)
All running the latist OS X System Software.
There is currently 1x .mac account that I have and my partner uses a secondary id for her email. (which is received on the main G5 tower)
Now what I need to know is what I will be needed to do to have the following functionality with my systems compatibility?
a) I want to be able to receive my emails, run my own calender, notes and web-browser favourites on the shared G5 Tower + my Macbook Pro & iPhone without getting any of my partners info on my Macbook Pro or iPhone
b) I then want my partners info only to be on her iPhone + her G4 Laptop and the on the shared G5 Tower, without getting any of my info on my partners G4 or iPhone
c) This means that our own laptop & iphones will only have our own info on them (emails, calender, notes and web-browser favourites ) But the main home G5 computer will be able to access both.
So the big question is how do I set this up?
1) Will I need to upgrade my .mac account to a family pack?
2) Will I need to have any extra software?
3) Will I need to have any extra hardware?
4) What else will I have to have?
5) Any advice I should need to know?
6) What would any of these upgrades cost?
7) Or can I do this with the system I already have
Thanks for any help and advice you might be able to offer.

Okay, setup 2 seperate calendars in iCal. You have three options (2 really, though) for calendars
2 seperate iCal calendars (one for you and one for your gf)
2 separate google calendars (subscribed to by iCal)
or 2 seperate iCal mobileme calendars
if you choose the first option, you'll have to download the subscribed calendars to the towers. And just select only her calendar to sync to her iphone and your calendar to your iphone.
b) I then want my partners info only to be on her iPhone + her G4 Laptop and the on the shared G5 Tower, without getting any of my info on my partners G4 or iPhone
Again not sure what you mean by info (calendars, music, apps, photos?) you can individually select which photo albums, music collections (playlists), calendars, and apps you wish to sync
c) This means that our own laptop & iphones will only have our own info on them (emails, calender, notes and web-browser favourites ) But the main home G5 computer will be able to access both.
I really don't understand this. It sounds like you want all the items synced with the main G5, non? If so, why not just use mobileme and calendar subscriptions?

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.
I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

The verification lists my card data and address etc. correctly but I need to keep entering the card security number.
Support keep telling me to delete and re-enter my car info which does not help. Anyone else seen this issue?
Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxxI've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far. -
If I back up my iphone and then need to gather the info from the docs, how do I get the data without another iphone? Can I download the iphone info to an ipad to read it or will it affect my ipad?
You can back up your device, either to iCloud or to your computer using iTunes, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766. If you need to know what version of iOS you are using, go to Settings>General>About and read the number across from Version.

I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes. I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?
Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

For the new iPhone 5s - is there not an option anymore to edit imessages without deleting the whole stream? There are some things I need to keep within a stream and some not necessary, and it looks as like no editing within a conversation?
Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp. Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke.

I lost my iphone in the water I bought a new one 4S now I have 2 back ups in Icloud, the one for the new Iphne and the old Iphone where I have the most info I need. How I can download my old backup?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot download a backup from iCloud, the only way to access it is to restore to the backup with your new phone, which you should have done when you first connected it. If you restore now, you will lose all the new information you have added to your new phone. -

If my photos from my iphone are on icloud, do i need to keep them on my phone?
I can't download OS7 because I don't have enough storage on my phone. If my photos from my iphone on on icloud - do I need to keep them on my phone?
You can delete any tracks you do not wish to have on the iPad and redownload them at any time. There is a setting you should be aware of, as well as a quirk (lets say design flaw):
Settings app > Music > Show all Music. This either exposes (if tuen on) or hides (if turned off) the un-downloaded tracks in Match. I have around 17,000 tracks in Match and find it useful to turn this off to facility easily locating albums already on teh device.
If you choose to stream a track rather than downloading first, it will actually download teh track. Once this occurs, you cannot delete it by swiping. teh only way to remove it is to delete all tracks from the device via Settings app > General > Usage > Music. A bit of a pain and my only real complaint with iTunes Match.
