How do I set up a second phone on one computer and iTunes

I am in the process of getting a second iPhone 5, to help separate my work and personal life. But can't seem to find any information in how to set up a secondary phone.
It will be with the same mobile phone carrier, but will have a different phone number. Am I able to have a secondary phone on the one iTunes account, and if so how do I do it?
Or will,I need to set up separate users on my MacBook Pro, and have another identity to achieve this?

  • How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

    I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system.  How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

  • I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

    I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.

    The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
    I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
    Any other suggestions? Please help!

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • How do I set up a new phone number for messaging and facetime on my iPad?

    My iPad has it's own phone number through Verizon.  Before I knew this, I had already set up messages to use my iPhone number.  Now I can't figure out how to set up the iPad phone number for messages and facetime on the iPad.

  • How do I set up multiple IPOD's on one computer?

    Hi I have 2 IPOD (kids) and one IPAD (mine).  How do I set them up where I can control the content that get's loaded on them independantly?  Eg. Some songs I only want on IPAD or vice versa.  I currently have all devices linked to one account.

    There are a couple of ways you can do this. The following article will help you with whichever way you choose to use:

  • We synched two phones to one computer and updated both.

    She went through and deleted my contacts on her phone personally. They then were deleted off my phone. How can I get them back? I had tons of information that is now "gone"

    You may be able to restore a previous backup: iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
    Bear in mind that when using two phones on one computer that you cannot have separate information such as contacts or calendars. You can sync a different set of applications and music, but they come from the same main library.
    The only way you can each have completely different data for two phones is to have two Apple IDs and separate user accounts on the computer.
    iDevices are not multi-user devices like the ocmputer.

  • How can I set up iCloud for my wife's computer and iPhone 4S when I previously set up an iCloud address for her and now can't use it in the iCloud set up?

    I set up an iCloud address for my wife, evidently before running the iCloud set up and now I can't connect her to
    an iCloud email address through the set up because it is already in use?

    I did not articulate the problem properly.  I have the sign in for Birgit on Apple BUT I am unable to set up the
    icloud.com email address for her because I had already established it before running the iCloud set up on her computer and now when I try to set up an iCloud email address for her through the iCloud application I can not do so because the email address is "already in use."  I have no idea how to meld the two.

  • I just found out I have a second Apple ID, how do I set up my new phone to this account and delete from the other?

    Ok so all this time I have thought that I only had one Apple ID. The one my mom and I shared. Now I'm noticing that sometime ago I must have created my own Apple ID. I need to know how to first transfer all of my information from my back up of my old phone on my mom's Apple ID, to the other ID. Then how to bring all of that to my new phone. After that is done, I would like to delete all of my things from my mom's Apple ID to keep us all separate.
    Can anyone walk me through this step-by-step?

    Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
    can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
    you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
    AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
    Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.

  • How can you set up multiple apple ids on one computer

    Not sure what you mean about 90 days.
    Everyone with an Apple ID should have they own user account.

    After connecting the phone to the computer and iTunes, select the phone, then you should see the tabs along the top part of iTunes.

  • How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.
