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 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.

    You will need to be constantly logging and and out of each iTunes account with iTunes depending on which iPhone is connected and being synced.
    Create a new computer login account for this person and their iPhone keeping the iTunes library and account for each user separate.

  • Can i have two iphones on one itunes account

    I have an iphone for personal and a new one for work. I want to have all the same information on both phones!! is th possibel?, and how do i do it?

    Yes, 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, including separate backups.

  • 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.

  • Syncing two iPhones with one iTunes account, archive and install

    I had a blue screen and had to archive and install.
    I re-synched my iPhone and at that time put my iPhone contacts in my address book with
    my group name, that I just created. I created a group for her and now want to re-synch her iPhone
    with my computer and with my iTunes account, like before. I get a message that the info on that her iPhone is synched with another user account. A choice to merge info from this user account or replace info from this user account. I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under
    her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.

    I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.
    You should select the Merge option. If you don't, the existing contact information in the Address Book on your Mac will replace all contact info in her iPhone's address book.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • Sync Two Iphone On One Laptop

    My girl-friend owns a 16GB 3GS running on software version 3.1.2 and I own a 32GB 3GS running software version 3.1.3. After I sync both iphone on my laptop, nothing works on the 16GB iphone. The moment I tap on any Apps, it returns to the home screen immediately. Everything works fine for my 32GB iphone. I am using only one I-tunes store account.
    Can I sync 2 iphone on one computer?
    Must I update from version 3.1.2 to 3.1.3?
    Can I downgrade from version 3.1.3 to 3.1.2?

    Can I sync 2 iphone on one computer? - Yes and No
    Must I update from version 3.1.2 to 3.1.3? You should
    Can I downgrade from version 3.1.3 to 3.1.2? No reverting to a previous version is not allowed...legally in the TOU rules by Apple
    When I say yes and no... I mean it can be done but the steps you're using is not the best way...
    Best bet is to use a different user log in for that PC and then create two iTunes accounts... you can still share apps and music via Home sharing and copy items back and forth

  • Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts

    Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
    Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
    Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

  • Computer crashed how to sync TWO iphones on one computer?

    Any help is appreciated. My PC that I sync my iphone on has crashed and I tried to sync my iphone on my wifes laptop, but she has an iphone as well. I can log into iTunes, but cannot see any of my podcasts, applications or information.
    Is there any way to sync two iphones on one computer?

    The easiest least complicated way to keep your info and her info seperate and not worry about things is to take advantage of user profiles on your computer (in XP)...so each of you log into XP with your own accounts, thus iTunes (and any other software like mail, etc) all have your own settings.
    Otherwise, you will have to watch which account is logged into iTunes Store (click store and see what name is up top right in case you both have different accounts)...and make sure you are logged in with the right account before syncing. iTunes does know the difference between your phones so each can setup different settings of what to sync to, but your library on your computer will be mixed unless you do what I said first, use different profiles (user logins) for XP.
