Best way to synch two iPhones with two different Outlooks on one computer?

Both my wife and I have iPhones. Currently, only I synch the contacts and calendar with Outlook because I'm scared that my wife's iPhone will overwrite all my data. I haven't even set up her Outlook because I don't know the best way to do this in such a way that would allow us both to synch. Since all our music is under my iTunes, would I have to set her outlook in my login, or could I do it in such a way that she logs in to her user profile (in Vista) and then into her own Outlook profile? If she has a separate user account (in Vista) do I need to set up a separate iTunes and duplicate my music library?

Hey HatoriHanzo,
iTunes will only sync contacts and calendars from the default Outlook profile. So if you make her profile the default profile before syncing it will only sync contact and calendars from her profile. By switching the default profile you can both use the same user account.
You can also setup iTunes to share the music between multiple user accounts.

How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system. How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
Thanks,
Dave

Other options not covered in the article:
1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

Can i sync 2 different iphone with 2 different numbers using one apple computer?

can i sync 2 different iphone with 2 different numbers using one apple computer?

You can sync as many devices as you like to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep it all straight by device, including separate backups.

2 different Calendars, 2 different adressbooks, etc., 1 iTunes Library, 1 Photo Library
But it would be great to see each others Calendars
Until now one mobileme Account.
Thanks in advance

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.

Best way to sync my iphone with a new computer is...?

I'm sure this is a pretty common issue but I want to get this completely right before I screw up and make things worse. First off, I do have access at this point to both computers, so maybe thatll help. Is the best way to get my new computer to sync correctly is to do restore purchases? Let me emphasize that basically the state that my iphone is in (apps songs etc.) is the way I want the new computer to be, regardless of what the library is on the new comp already. Is there any way to sync so that what is on the phone (at least the first time) can completely overrides and ignores, taking priority over the computer's info? If so, that's what I want. Otherwise, Ill try another way. Either doing the transfer purchases method or, someone I talked to said you could manually move your itunes library over to the new computer by putting it on a storage media and pasting it over whats on the itunes data on the new computer and replacing it. Is this possible? I only ask because the last time I tried transferring purchases it proceeded to completely fill my phone and run it out of space so not everything (some apps) did not come over. I do not want to sync my phone to the new computer and have to redownload things if I can help it. If anyone could help or need more info Ill give it, thanks if you can help!

" is the way I want the new computer to be, regardless of what the library is on the new comp already. Is there any way to sync so that what is on the phone (at least the first time) can completely overrides and ignores, taking priority over the computer's info?"
No. The iphone is not a storage device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
You need to move EVERYTHING from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.
You can type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar.

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

How do you merge two different users on one computer?

I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account. How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

The iphone is designed to be synced with a computer. It is not a stand alone device. If the only place the contacts are is the iphone, then this (in my opinion) is a major mistake and not the way the iphone was designed.

HT3819 Can I set up two different IPODs on one computer with one iTunes library but keep them separate by user of the iPOD?

I need to add my husband's iTunes library to my Apple comnputer that has iTunes and my library on it already - can I add his device and keep it separate from mine?

You should create a new compuer login account for him (System prefs > Users & Accounts) and he will have all his own data including his own iTunes library.
Also, you can have more than one device in iTunes and sync different content.

I have two separate itunes libraries on two different computers. One computer has crashed, but they are both on the same account. Is there any way to transfer music onto a new library from a computer that cannot be turned on and have itunes accessed?

Help?

if the computer cannot be turned on, one option would be to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure that can be connected to the working computer.
