Help with Syncing my boyfriends different Apple account to my computer

I am updating my boyfriends phone on my computer, he has the old update and also uses a different apple ID. Will this delete everything on his phone or just sync it to my iTunes and allow him to keep everything on his phone?

Well, yeah, non-iTunes music will be deleted, but could be imported from the other computer later.  But this is a way to avoid 'everything' from being deleted from the iPhone.

    How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    Morning Saintine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

    Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • My iPad won't backup. It's been synced to two different iTunes accounts. I'm trying to update to newest iOS.

    I'm trying to update my iPad to newest iOS  when I try to back it up it just sits there.   Even overnight it does progress.  The iPad has been synced to two different iTunes accounts and I have a new PC. THAT I'm using to sync it on.

  • Continuity between different apple accounts

    Dear All,
    I have an account A (iPhone), different account B(iPad/Mac). Account A has enabled the "Family Sharing" with Account B.
    Both the devices are in the same WiFi.
    Is there a way to enable continuity between two different Apple accounts (A & B)? Your ideas/thoughts will be appreciated.
    Continuity in this discussion means - Picking up the calls from other devices, Receiving the messages from other devices
    Thanks

    Continuity only works with devices signed into the same iCloud account.  It won't work across different accounts.  There's more information on this here: Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity.

    You can't share with other devices if you are using different Apple ID's and iTunes account on them. You can only share if you use the same ID.

    Can u/how do u  share playlists between different apple accounts on the same computer?

    I had that problem once and iTunes store support was able to help me resolve it.  I can't recall at this point what the solution is, but suggest you contact them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac

    May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
    I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.

    Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
    The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX.

    No, you can't combine accounts nor transfer content between accounts - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • Is there any way to have 2 different itunes accounts on one computer?

    I am trying to find out if you can have two different itunes accounts on one computer.  My boyfriend and I both have the iphone 4 but we share a computer.  Is it  possible to have two accounts on one laptop? And if so, how do i do it?

    Hi, Angela,  Take a look here:
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer.
    That should help. If you are referring to iTunes Store accounts, yes, you can have up to five iTunes Store accounts on a single system.

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.
