How does syncing apps with more than one iPhones work?

Me and my girlfriend both has a iPhone. I was wondering do I have to purchase the app twice for both iPhones?are apps tied with my computer, the phone or my iTunes account? Assuming I purchase it from my mac there's no way to say which iPhone it is for so I assume I can use of on both phone? But what of I bought it from the phone?

Yes you can do this. It works just like music, you do not have to purchase an app twice if, for example, you purchase an app and then would like to also put it onto your husband or wife's iPhone. You can authorize up to five computers to "hold onto" the app and allow it to be synchronized down to the iPhone. I did this with two computers, mine and my wife's, synching to two iPhones, mine and hers. There's probably a limit of 5 iPhones too, but I don't know for sure.
You can simply email an app, or put it onto a CD or external storage device to move it to another computer, and then authorize it on the additional computer.
Here's what you need to know:
Go to iTunes on a computer that has the app. Top left, Library menu, click on Applications to display the applications which are on this computer. You'll get a big screen that says IPhone and IPod Touch Apps, and icons for each. Right click (Control-click if you have to) to get the contextual menu, and select "Show in Finder." All of your apps should be residing in the resulting folder. Grab one or more of them and email or copy to a CD or external drive (or transfer by network) to get the app onto the additional computer. On my computer this is the "Mobile Applications" folder in my iTunes Library; this appears to be the default location. Of course you need to put the app into the correct default folder on the new computer.
Once the app(s) is on the new computer, it may not show up in iTunes (look in the same place; in other words, open iTunes, go to "Library --> Applications" top left). If it's not showing up in iTunes, then simply go back to the folder (the actual app in the finder) and right-click and select Open With --> iTunes. That'll force it to show up. Your goal is for the app to show up in iTunes on the "new" (additional) computer. Once it shows up, you are almost there, although it is not yet authorized, so if you go ahead and sync with your iPhone on this additional computer the transfer will fail.
To authorize it, simply double click on the app IN iTUNES, right there in the Library -->Applications view. A window will pop up and say you are not authorized to play this (just like it does when you try to play a song you originally purchased on a different computer). The user name that is displayed will be the user name of the original purchaser. Enter the password of the original purchaser. You are good to go. If you added multiple apps, they will all become authorized on this additional computer with this single authorization action, you do not have to repeat the authorization for each of them, as long as they all were purchased by the same user.
Proceed with syncing the additional iPhone using iTunes on the additonal computer. You are done. Enjoy!
This will work with no regard to AT+T accounts, it's not related to them at all. You can have five authorized computers, including the one which originally purchased the song or app. You can send an app to a friend who lives in a faraway place and allow him to authorize his computer to play your apps and songs. Note that he will be able to play all of your apps and songs forever until you deauthorize his computer. This does not mean he will have access to your account in any way; simply that he will have general authorization for any songs or apps you send him; he won't need to re-authorize any new things you send him. In order to allow you to maintain control (change your mind) there is an option in the iTunes Store (Account button) which allows you to deauthorize ALL computers on your account, if you wish to reauthorize individual computers again.
The apps and songs are simply password protected. If you send one to someone they won't be able to use it unless they know your password, and you can allow this up to five times (for five computers).

Can I sync more than one Iphone on one computer

I need to know if it's possible to sync or update more than one iphone to one computer without having to share each others media, contacts, and such.

Hi,
Yes several iPhones, iPads & iPod Touches can be synced & managed independently.

TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. Autorun only shows the Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.
Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%. It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart. Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem. Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant. I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

How to sync up more than one iphone/ipod to a PC

I'm frustrated because i've run into a problem and its really cumbersome to fix.
i have several ipods and me and my girl both have iphones (5 ipods and 2 iphones).
we have one PC.
when i sync up my ipod, i can xfer music and videos to it w/o problems but if i connect her ipod it wont allow me to xfer music to it. i can dock it and see it but simply gives me the black cirle with a slash thru it, denies me adding playlists to it.
same with iphone. i literally need 1 PC per ipod/iphone in order to sync up the music and movies we want on them.
how does one copy over their music onto various ipods if you only have one PC. all our music is stored ont he PC. to fix i would need to create a virtual OS, then copy over all my music onto it to sync up but i find it hard to believe that apple did not think of this?
the expected result while using itunes...is to be able to sync up any ipod or iphone to itunes, and be able to copy over any playlist or movie.
i have bought all my dvds and cds and ripped them, whay am i not allowed to place them on more than one ipod or iphone?

thanks for those tips. i looked at those links. they are helpful but i dont need to create user profiles nor link to other music libraries.
why it fails...when i dock a 2nd iphone it sees data on it....the expected or desired result is, it just leaves data there but allows me to add more. this is the part i cant get past.
i did try making a new user account and multiple libraries, but still same problem.
my ultimate desire is to be able to connect more than one iphone to same PC and xfer data to it and also take the iphone to another PC. so the idea is to move my iphone from work and home and have it sync up with data thats on each one.
the auto sync and auto start when i dock iphone is disabled.
but when i sync up it somehow senses this iphone docks at another PC and does not recognize the media on it as being on this PC.
i deally i dont want to clutter each PC with the same data. i'd like to just keep the music and movies on the iphone and merely add from different PCs. meaning if i dock it at work, it wont have the same music or movies on it. basically i dont want to add redudant files to it that are already on my home PC, i just wish to add music from my work pc to it.
sometimes my wife comes to my workplace and notices i ripped a new album, she wants to dock her iphone and xfer it over, but itunes wont allow it, popping up a message saying she has to wipe it in order to sync up with.
i'm not sure why the ipods wont allow me to sync up music, it sees the device and shows playlists but if i try to add a playlist i get a little black icon stating its denied. i'm not worried about ipd right now. its the iphone i'm trying to figure out, how to get past this problem.
originally it started with one PC to do everything but since we could not we decided to start using our work computers. and now that we sync up to them we cant freely sync up to home PCs now, hence the frustration.
i'm trying to figure out how to use iphones between multiple PCs, single PC. it all seems so complicated yet all we want to do is simply dock, and xfer over data (all PCs are disable auto sync), we jsut want to specifically sync up only particular playlists, movies, wallpapers.
for contacts we gave up on outlook as we get some itunes outlook error about a service failing so we do it via yahoo.
we export out outlook contacts to yahoo and simply use yahoo to merge contacts.

TS1474 Can more than one iPhone be synced to the same computer?

Can you use the same computer to sync more than one iPhone?

Most definitely more than 1 device can be used on the same computer.
Now the only thing you'll have to worry about is if you use different AppleIDs and if the other users decide to sync contacts.
What would be reccomended to keep all of your data seperate would be to create Seperate Windows User accounts or Different Logins on a Mac.
These are logins for the computer specifically not AppleIDs
If have questions on how to do that post what OS you are running, Mas OSX 10.6 10.7, Win XP Win Vista Win7

How do I share my contacts with more than one group without having to re-type them into each group?

Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

I have one MacBook pro, already have my iPhone synced to it. I want to sync my wife's to it as well so she can share my iTunes library.
Is this possible?

Create a new user login (with a password) for your stuff.
This way, your data won't get mixed up.
