Find iphone with multiple iphones

i have 2 iphones with different numbers but only 1 mobileme account how do i set it up for *find iphone* to pick up both iphones.
do i need to have a mobileme account for each phone?
help

You only need the one mobileme account.
My wife and I both have iphones, one mobileme account, one e-mail address, and both our iphones show up just fine on find my iphone.
You set up each phone the same way. Turn on the feature on each iphone, then go to your computer and find your iphones.

How do I use your iPhone with multiple iTunes libraries

Hi, I have my music spread out between 3 seperate Itunes libraries on 3 different profiles on my computer. I have the newest generation Ipod Nano, Ipod Shuffle, and Iphone 4s. My Ipod's are both full, so I've decided to start putting music onto my phone. With my Ipod's, I can plug them into one profile on the computer, download the music on the Itunes library that exists on that profile, then do the same with the other profiles with no issue. However when I try to do this with my phone, It asks me to erase the music I have gotten from one Itunes library and sync with the current library, as soon as I plug it in to a different Itunes on one of the other profiles. I have my Iphone configured with the Manually manage music option, and I still haven't found a way to use my Iphone with multiple music libraries. PLEASE HELP

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 - If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
They seem inconsistent as far as the iPad is concerned but in both articles the iPhone appears to only be able to sync to one library at a time.

With multiple iPhones and iPad, how do you keep from downloading data from one device to another? ie, my calander ended up on my daughter's iPad.

With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

Find my IPhone, with an IPhone 3?

Is it possible to use the ICloud funktion : Find my IPhone, with an IPhone 3?

No, you need iOS 5 to access iCloud where Find My iPhone is serviced, and the iPhone 3 cannot be upgraded to iCloud and iOS 5.

How to use iPhone with multiple computers on iTunes 11?

Both of my computers are Windows 7. I try to manage my music and videos on both iTunes. I used to be easy, like you just check the "Manually manage music and videos" square, and everything is fine... But after I update to iTunes 11, it just doesn't work. There is no resulting dialog box coming up where I can click "OK" after I checked square, and no matter I click "apply" below or "done" above, the iTunes asks to erase and sync with the iPhone. After it syncs, the "Manually manage music and videos" is checked. But if I move to another computer another iTunes, then it says I'm already syncing with one iTunes, and it needs to erase and sync with my iPhone again... and of course, the "Manually manage music and videos" is unchecked on this iTunes... If I try to check that on this one.. it's the same story happened before... Basically, there is just no way I can use one iPhone on two iTunes 11, is it?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

How do I use itunes with multiple iphones when syncing each one

When using one computer how do I make sure each iphone doesnt get all the contacts when I have multiple i phones?

How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

Hi
I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

#1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
#4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
#5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
I can't help with tethering questions.

What is the best way to set up one family imac with multiple iphones?

We basically have one imac that we all use (one user account).
We also have our own iphones with our own apple id.
What i would like to get my head around is setting up each iphone individually to use itunes.(i.e music, videos, contacts).
It seems that every time i sync/ update iphone os, via itunes, apps and contacts change. Also today i only just got around to update one of the iphones to ios5. Now all the photos have been deleted???
I would be grateful of any advice, cheers.
Kev.

Here are three different methods >

suggests using contacts groups.
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
You can set up groups in the Address Book application.
If you are all going to use the same iTunes apps library, turn off "Automatically sync new apps" in the apps tab just below the list of apps. Then you won't get new apps on your device unless you select them.

Using a single itunes library with multiple iphones?

My wife got an iPhone 3GS recently and I already have a 4S. I plan to use an existing iTunes install on a single PC to manage them both. I see that Apple support articles say it's worth keeping iTunes libaries separate (with separate Windows user accounts) when there are multiple iPhones using iTunes on one PC.
I like to manually manage music, videos and podcasts in my iTunes library rather than use synching. I like the idea of having a shared pool of music, videos and apps for us both to use. I know apps that are purchased on my iPhone or my wife's are linked to a specific apple ID so that means if she transfers any apps that were bought on my phone originally, her phone will ask her for my apple ID password when they get updates. But sharing passwords with eachother isn't a problem.
I can create a second user account for my wife easily, but I kind of have the feeling I'd prefer to share a single library as I say.
Are there any other reasons I need to keep 2 user accounts and 2 iTunes libraries going when I manually manage the transfer of content?
Cheers.

Adn this can easily be done.
Move your /Music/iTunes/ folder to a Shared directory (such as /Users/Public/ folder) and everyone can use this single library.
Each user must quit iTunes before the other can open it.
Just hold Shift, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder in the shared directory.
The big advantage with separate Windows user accounts, data such as photos, calendars, emails, and everything else will be separate.

Some pictures are invisible in iPhotos, visible in Finder, synchronized with my iPhone but can't delete them

Hello everyone,
If my tittle is not clear enough, I will try to make it!
In fact I got 2 or 3 pictures took with my iPhone.
I have delete them but it reappears...
Now I can not delete it and they are unvisible in iPhotos.
I can find them in Finder but that's all.
If I delete it from Finder, I got a message from iTunes because it is a synchronize error as iTunes can not find pictures in iPhoto
In iTunes my iPhone is set to be synchronized only with iPhoto's library...
PLEASE HELP ME!!! :'( :'(

It is still not perfectly clear, sorry. Please elaborate a bit.
You took photos with your phone, and you deleted them. But where? On your Mac, on your phone?
Where do they keep reappearing, and where do you want them gone and cannot delete them, on your phone or your Mac?
I can find them in Finder but that's all.
Where in the Finder do you see them? Waat is the path to the files?

Syncing an Iphone with multiple Itunes accounts

I recently traveled with my Iphone and when at my brother's place, I logged in to Itunes with my ID, purchased some tv shows for my daughter and was able to sync them to my phone. When I got home and synced with my own laptop, it told me it had to sync with my existing IPhone information and I would lose anything that wasn't in there. So I synced and the shows are now gone from my phone and my Itunes purchases. Isn't there a way to purchase where it downloads into Itunes store but it follows you b/c of the fact that you logged in to purchase it? I paid for those items so I feel like I should still be seeing them in my Itunes account here.
Did I just do something wrong? I have a Iphone G3.
Thanks!

For media content - music, videos and movies - and apps, you can only sync an iPhone to one iTunes library. There's no way around that. So that's why you had the issue when you connected the iPhone to your home computer again. Anything that is not in your home iTunes library will indeed be erased from the iPhone.
Further, if you purchase an item from the iTunes Store on another computer, then with the exception of apps, you get only one download per purchase. So if you buy anything other than an iPhone app on any other computer, it will be your responsibility to either make sure it transfers to your computer from the iPhone - you do not let the iPhone automatically sync when you connect it, then you use the "Transfer Purchases from iPod" command under the File menu in iTunes to copy the purchased content from your iPhone - or you copy it from the computer to your own via a flash drive, CD, etc.
Regards.

ITunes with multiple iPhones

Does anyone know if it's possible to have multiple iPhones set up on a single iTunes account? If so, how do you do this? I already have an iTunes account but will have a second iPhone in the household... want to be able to share/sync music library, apps, purchased music, movies, etc. Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Claudia

My question is a bit different. I have not yet been able to wean my wife off her dying Dell. While she has iTunes on it sync fails so she has not backed up her 3GS phone in ages. She has different music, pictures, and apps than I do, and we do not want to share these. So I want to sync her phone (and iPad as well) to my Macbook Pro, but keeping things separate.The responses and Apple material regarding syncing multiple phones to a single Mac talk about shared music and media libraries and do not seem to talk about apps.
I'm afraid if I try to sync her devices to my iTunes it will wipe out her apps and media. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
Thanks

ICloud with multiple iPhones

My sister set up her iPhone with the new operating system. She didn't read the directions when setting up iCloud. Now she can use my number from her phone. How can we fix this so that she can no longer use my number?

This is being caused by using the same ID for iMessage. To fix this go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on all of the other ones tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so all devices will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.
You should also use a separate ID for FaceTime and iCloud. If you share the same iCloud account/ID any data such as contacts and calendars will be merged and you will end up with each other's information on your phones.
