Can I sync 2 iPhones on one Macbook?

Hi
Can someone help? Is it possible to sync 2 iPhones on one MacBook... contacts on both phones are the most critical things that I need back up on the Macbook...

You can sync as many devices as you want 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 everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs. Regarding your contacts, you can have the same contacts on each device or a different set of contacts. If you want a different set of contacts, create groups in Address Book on your Mac, then select what groups/group you want on each device. Before you select syncing contacts in iTunes, make sure you have at least on entry in each group you create in Address Book, this will generate a merge or replace prompt when you do sync, with merge being the correct choice.

Can I Sync Multiple iPhones to One Macbook's Calendar and iPhoto

Hi all, my wife just bought a 5S and I'm trying to sync it to the iPhoto and the Calendar on our Macbook Pro. I already have a 4S sync'ed to the same Macbook with no problems, but we want both phones to sync with Calendar and iPhoto.
I've successfully imported her library so that we can swap between my our iTunes accounts when we plug in different phones but the calendar and the photo issue (photostream specifically) is stumping me. So far I've had no joy through iTunes and I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance
Pete

Yes each phone will have its own syncronisation so you can set what goes onto those phones independently of each other

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

The application ITunes presumes that the information, data, music, etc in its database is the correct master. In doing so, it will overwrite and replace any information previously on the phone. You probably will want to transfer the iTunes data directory from it's original location (presumably the system yoiu used to sync with your iPhone previously), the the new system.
If your iPhone has data from a different Apple ID, than the ID you will use on the new notebook, then be prepared to lose the data on the phone if you sync. It's meant to work that way.

Can I sync 2 iPhones to one itunes account but have seperate yahoo contacts

We have 2 iPhones and want to be able to share the same itunes account which doesn't seem to be a problem. However we can't seem to have separate yahoo contacts synced with the two separate phones. It wants to keep putting my wife's contacts on my phone or vice a versa. Now our Yahoo contacts are all mucked up. Any help would be appreciated. I can't believe we can't do this.

You can sync many devices to one itunes account. I, for instance, have two ipods and an iphone on one account. They all have different setting and contents, but still only sync to one itunes account.
Yes you and your wife can use one itunes account.

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

I can't sync my iPhone with my macbook pro?

its a long story but what happened was a few months ago in June of 2014 I found out my macbook pro had a virus. I have had my mac for almost a year before June so I had synced my iPhone which was running 7.0.6 and still is since I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 8. So the only way to get rid of the virus I had to erase my entire mac. I basically returned it to factory settings. I lost all my data. Lucky I saved some of my data on an external hard drive. Now fast forward to today Nov 27 and I had downloaded music from iTunes on the same iPhone and i wanted to sync my music on iTunes and my mac is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and it says that my iPhone 5s is synced with another computer but in reality its the same computer its just I restarted my mac to factory settings. I've tried going online to see if there's a way to bypass it and trick my iPhone into thinking its syncing the with the same iTunes cause thats the reason it won't sync with two computers but my problem is I'm using the same mac and i can't find a way to fix my problem. PLEASE HELP ME.

Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean you have set the sync options on the Device pages, Clicked Sync and it does not work, or you can't find the sync pages.

Can i sync two iPhones to one iTunes?

As of above my wife has had an iPhone for just over a month now and is looking to update to IOS 5 as I have. My question is whether when I plug her iPhone in and run the update will all her data be lost and get wiped by my data? We both have different apps, contacts etc and it would be a nightmere for her if this happened. Many thanks, Jack

When you connected his iphone did you click File>Transfer Purchases?
This would transfer any ituens purchases from iphone to computer.
You can sync as many iphones as you like to one computer/account/library.

Can you sync 2 iPhones on one computer?

I'm going to be getting my wife an iPhone for our anniversary, but all of our music is on this laptop, so is there a way to sync both phones to this computer and have separate music end up on our phones? How does this work with apps I've purchased and will it keep my calendar with my appointments so she can have her own calendar? Crap, that leads to another question: will my wife need her own iTunes account to enter into the phone or can she use mine because it's already hooked up to our protected credit card?
I suppose I can copy all of the music onto the desktop for access and have her sync to that iTunes, but that computer is dreadfully wonky since it's unfortunately a PC used for Internet Explorer for site checking with my designs and it has my PC Adobe CS software. That would keep calendars separate, but create a music headache for music purchased on one phone to be added to iTunes.
Thanks for checking out the noob questions.

You can sync as many ipods/iphones as you like to one computer/itunes library.
There are many way to set it up.

Can I sync two Iphones to one laptop?

I have a 4s and my wife has a 4. Can we both snyc to the same laptop, to use itunes to load music onto both phones?

Yes - you can just share the same Apple ID or sync any number of devices you want with separate IDs.
To prevent getting each others messages though after doing this (if you share IDs) - go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only your phone number is checked.
