How can I use itunes to back up two different iphones?

First off, please pardon the newbie question.
I am on a new Windows 8 machine (using the Classic Shell interface). I downloaded and installed itunes 11.0.2.26.
I need to be able to backup both my and my fiancee's iphone (both are 4s), before doing the upgrade to iOS 6.1.2.
Whenever I try to open Itunes, all I get are music, movies, and TV shows. Nowhere do I see the option of backing up one iphone to this computer, let alone the option of choosing another one to back up. We do not have any music, movies, or anything else (except for maybe a couple of apps) that we need to back up.
I have Googled this to wits end to no avail. Can anyone steer me on the right direction?

However, unless you have transferred your original library over to the new computer there is the danger that you will lose media and app settings/data. You can transfer store purchases into a newly authorized library, but other media would be wiped. To workaround this see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How can I use one gmail address on two different macbooks in 'mail'?

I'm using one business gmail address. Me and my girlfriend both have a macbook. Now the gmail address is linked to my macbook. But she wants to use it as well. Unfortunately the 'mail' system won't allow her to sync with the gmail address. And I get messages from gmail saying that someone tried to log in to my account. Which is something I certainly want, but can't change. Does anyone now how I can use 1 gmail address on two different mac's? Thanks

You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
her email server went down for a month.
The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.

How can i use the same id on two different laptops?

When trying to use the same login on two different laptops so that i can connect my nook to either depending on which one is free, i get the error that the id is already in use on another computer?

The issue is embedded in the way the software works. To comply with the
Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000, all software companies in this
business keep track of where their software is installed, making
information about the computer and ereaders part of an ID file. So, your
user ID is embedded in the ID file of each computer, but each computer has
a different ID of its own that is also embedded in that file. Adobe's
master server (yes, there is one that you connect to even if you didn't
know it) also has that information, and when you try to use an ID on one
that's embedded in the file of another, Adobe's server blows the whistle,
and as you can see, you can't do that....

How can we use same material code for two different sales area

Hello friendsu2026
Hope you all doing well
I am facing a problem and I will be thankful to all of you, for your suggestions
Issue:
I have a *material created in 3000/10/19 for domestic purpose *,now our company has decided to export it for that we have created a new sales are 3000/13/20 for export,we cannot create the salesa are as 3000/13/19 due to some company issues,
Is there any way how I can use the material already in 3000/10/19 into new sales area 3000/13/20.
Will common distribution channel and division concept will be applicable here
As the material is same,and we donu2019t want to go for any more new material code. *
Thanks
Siddharth Sharma

Hi Sharma,
when a material is used in domestic and exports.....i hope it should be seggreagated based on dist chnl.......but not division.
because material is Division specific. it can be there in only one division. like mother child relation.
that is the reason why...... it is maintained inside BASIC DATA...... but not in input screen while creating material master.[unlike dist chnl]
because a material can be in multiple dist chnl....but not multiple division.
I feel only alternative is creating new material if you are already decided to devide the sales by division for domestic and foriegn.
Purpose of common dist chnl/div is to maintain pricing/condition in one common whenever you change master data.......
hope this gives you the clarity

My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that I "...can expect no privacey" of any personal information that may be put on the iPad. This is not acceptable to me. How can I use iTunes to keep my personal information off the iPad?

My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that "...I can expect no privacy" with regard to any information on it. What has me concerned is that my employer has also requested that I use my Persoanl iTunes account to syc and update the iPad. I am concerend with my personal privacey, as I have two other iPads that use this account regualary.
My question is: How can I use iTunes to update etc. the company iPad using iTunes without compromising my personal information?
What I have done is to set up a different sign in (is that called an Apple ID?) within iTunes (I now have two different names I can use to sign in to iTunes). They both still use the same iTunes and my personal apps and information appear to be available to my second sign in name (the second sign in name is what I intend to use for the company iPad). When I sync the company iPad how do/can I keep my persoanl information from being syc'd automatically to the comapany iPad?

Hi herbie13!
It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"?

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"? An example would be in Photoshop, go to file>new, and create the size paper I want, and move images of different sizes onto it.
I was thinking the print module would do this automatically for me.

You can't, at present. It's been a requested feature, so we'll see if it shows up in a future version, but it's not there at present.

Hi
How can i use defferent sim card providres on my iphone?

You can only do so if your phone is officially unlocked. If your phone is carrier locked now, you need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to to see if they offer unlocking, and what the cost/procedure is.
