How do i back up 2 peoples iphone to the one computer?

I have connected the 2nd phone to the one computer, after sync'ing and backingup mine, and it has started to download my apps onto the 2nd phone. Not sure what to do with that? any help..

Suggest if there are two phones and two people:
1. Create two seopersate user accounts on the comuter
2. Have two seperate Apple IDs for both people.
There are numerous instances of issues with people
that share both, from mixed up calendars to unwanted
info sharing if a breakup occurs.

How do i sync contacts on two iphones from the same computer without merging the contacts

I called tech support and they suggested I set up a separate user account on my computer and that should create a new windows contact file (which it did). When I sync the iphone from the new user account, it seems to still be syncing to the windows contacts folder in the main administrator account and not the newly created account. iIconfirmed this because i deleted one contact from the iphone and one contact from the new windows contact folder. I then did a sync and no changes occurred on phone or the windows contact folder in teh new user account. I then went to the original user account and teh name I deleted from teh iphone was deleted from that windows folder. I am not able to select any different folder to sync contacts with in the itunes "info" tab. Do I need to set up under a completely different computer?

I called support and they helped me realize the " sync contacts with windows contacts" was unchecked (maybe I didn't click sync or apply when I first checked it?). He helped me clean up some unnecessary contacts by clicking the contacts box in the advance tab and removing names directly from the windows contacts folder before syncing.

How can I back up my new iPhone using the old back up from iPhone 4

How can I restore my iPhone 4 backup to my iphone5 as I have start my iPhone 5 as a new device . I wish to restore from my iPhone 4 backup as there is a lot of photo inside .

Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

TS1474 What is the best way to run two iphones on the one computer?

I have recenty upgraded to an iphone 5 and my husband has taken over my 4S. However when trying to sync on itunes found even with different log ins for itunes some of my mail and photos ended up on his phone.
Have duplicated ITunes as a copy for one phone and still some data crosses over. What is the best method?
Laptop does not ahve library of our music installed to use as option.
Would apprecaite advice.

More than likely, your issue is sharing of iCloud information. You can run as many phones, iPads, iPods, etc as you want on one PC without issue.
Make sure you under Settings > iCloud that you have different IDs. You should also use separate Apple IDs, which can still sync to the same PC.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

How do I back up my restored iPhone to iTunes, without it reloading old content?

How do I back up my restored iPhone to iTunes, while setting it up as new, without having it reload all my old apps? I tried once, setting it up as a new iphone, and it reloaded all my old apps anyway. I then restored the phone AGAIN, and haven't plugged it into my computer for fear of it doing it again. I want to start over new and back up the "new" phone with my new apps, and sync my old photos, but I do not want to sync old apps.

How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

How can I email my iPhone backup from one computer to another? And then how do I restore my iPhone to this backup once it's on the new computer?

I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook, but then I lost that iPhone. When I plugged in a different iPhone to his computer, it did ask me if I wanted to restore it as my old phone, so I must have backed up at least some of the data to his iTunes. I saw that you can locate the folder where my iPhone was backed up, so can he just email me the folder (he lives in a different country)? And then if I get this folder, how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook
Why would you do that, and not on your own computer? See the hassle it caused you?
can he just email me the folder
Backup files are too big to email. Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

Hello Tamthom,
It sounds like you would like to sync your phone to your new computer. I would start by using the following article to transer your iTunes and App Store purchases to your computer from your phone.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Note: If you had content that was not purchased from the iTunes Store you will need to re import the content from its original media, to your iTunes library separately.
Then backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
After your puchases are transferred, and your device is backed up you can Erase and Sync the device, and restore your backup to it, that way moving forward you can sync it like you used to.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Question: How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

Sync them both to the same iTunes music library. You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads. If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

How to Sync Multiple Iphones on the Same Computer

Does anyone know how to Sync two different Iphones on the same computer?

You have given almost no detail/information at all, so ti is hard to say.
What apps? Are both iphones new? Were they synced with other computers? Same account?
What is it that you are trying to do?
The iphone will sync itunes content (music/apps/video) and pics with one and only one computer. If you sync to another it will first eras the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Authorize the account, do not sync: File>Transfer Purchases
