I just recently got 2 new iPhone 4. one for me and my husband. How do i sync up both on one computer with out reuning my sisters already synced iPhone 3s info getting all her apps and contacts onto my phones?

I just bought 2 new iPhone 4 one for and my husband. I want to sync them on the same computer without it runing my sisters already syned 3s. When tried syning my old and i mean very old iPhone's contacts it said i could only merge them with my sister contacts and now i have her contacts on my phone and it sent my all her un needed apps as well. I want to be able to sync but not have her things placed in my phone or have anything erased from hers either. Can anyone help me?

By far the simplest way to do this is create separate accounts on the computer for each person. That way, you each log into your own separate account, sync your own device(s) to your own contacts/calendars/apps/music and so forth.

Syncing two phones to one computer

Without creating two logins for my laptop, how can I sync and backup two different iPhones (iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4) to my iTunes?
Don't want my contacts (private) to be synced to my wife's.....
Of course, eventually I am planning to get the MacBook Pro and this will probably resolve the matter.

Well since a comptuers profile really only has one address book, you can just not sync contacts with one of the phones to avoid mixing them...of course then you risk losing them.
The right way is to have two logins to your computer as the computer was designed so you each have a profile and your own settings.
Outside of that, one or both of you can sync Contacts/Calendar with Google instead and that will happen over the air and then you only need iTunes to sync other stuff.

How do I sync multiple ipods to one computer?

How do I sync multipleipods through one computer? I know it must be pretty basic but I cannot get it. I have my Itunes store account up, but my wifes ipod info is up on the left side of the screen. I do not want to sync to her info and the messages acknowledge that it is my ipod connected.

Connect each one separately. Sync it with your desired info using iTunes. Then do the same with each device. You may configure the desired info separately for each device as long as each device has a different name. You can change the name from the sidebar listing in iTunes.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

HT1386 If I've already synced my phone to one computer, if I sync it to another will it erase all the data on my phone (apps, music, etc)

My original computer died, and I don't have a phyical back up of my data. If I try to sync the device to a new computer will I lose everything currently on my phone? If so, is there a way around this?

TS1347 Syncing contacts with multiple phones on one computer

how can I sync multiple phones on one computer without deleting or sharing contacts from each phone?

You'd need a contact application that supported creating contact groups, then you could select what groups/group to sync to each phone.

Syncing two phones to one macbook pro

my fiance and I both have iphones. I have been syncing my phone to my macbook pro for some time. Her phone is having problems and when we took it into the apple store they got it working but said we could do a firmware restore by using the macbook pro. The tech said we would need to add a user for her phone and then sync it prior to doing the full restore. How do we sync her phone to my computer without deleting her contacts and other info on the phone?

Welcome to the discussions,
Create a new user on your MacBookPro, log in and set up iTunes with her account and make sure to disable autosync in Settings/devices.
After that connect her phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes.
See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way, this time choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your Mac.
Set up at least one contact and event on your MBP (logged in with her user account), to be able the merge her calendars and contacts after her phone got wiped during the first sync.
Then connect the phone and sync it. You can set up the phone "as new iphone" during this process, which will renew the firmware, and choose the manual backup you made to restore your data from after the setup process is finished.

Syncing two iphones with one computer

A co-worker and I share a secretary. We'd like to be able to sync our individual calendars (in Outlook '03) on our secretary's PC.
Is this possible?

UPDATE:
Well I thought I figured it out when I realized iTunes gives you the option of syncing only selected calendars. My plan was to check only my calendar to sync with my phone and Gary's calendar to syn with his phone.
Unfortunately, the option to sync only selected calendars is grayed out in iTunes. I can only check the "sync all calendars" box.
Surely others have figured out how to sync two phones with one computer and only have the data you specify synced to the specific phone.
Do I have to create another Windows user account where only Gary's calendar is maintained and then switch back and forth between user accounts whenever syncing?
Any help would be much appreciated.

How to back up/sync two phones on one PC?

Aloha, This is my first post on this forum, so if I'm on the wrong board or if this has been discussed, I apologize.
About two months ago, I purchased two iPhone 3GS's (for my wife's and my use). I have been able to sync the phones individually on two different pc's, but am unable to figure out how to sync both on my desk machine (for back up/speed purposes). I can find lots of articles and instructions on how to sync one phone on multiple machines, but am unable to find info on how to do two phones on one computer.
Basically, I am unable to get the iTunes software to back up/sync the music collection on her phone--it says that all will be deleted in favor of the library (that is associated with my phone). I have tried logging in the iTunes software with her iTunes acct info, but I still get the same response.
Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. For the record, our phones are both current (iPhone OS v. 3.1 [not 3.0.1]) and iTunes is v. 9.0.0.70--which according to the upgrade blurb said it has better multiple phone capabilities. (It looks and acts the same to me--so obviously, I'm not doing something right!) TIA.

You cannot take itunes content from the iphone and put it on the computer. The iphone sync is one way. It is designed to sync with a computer, not as a stand alone device.]
The exception to this rule is itunes purchased content as described in an earlier post.
" If I want to mirror her iPhone on MY pc however, you're saying it can't be done?"
Yes, that is what I'm saying. The iphone is designed to reflect the content of the computer/library that it syncs with, not the other way around.
You need to copy everything to the new computer, then sync. When you sync to a different computer, it will erase itunes content from the iphone first, then sync to the new itunes library/computer.
"What's the purpose of authorizing multiple computers to connect the phone to if you can't do that?"
You don't "authorize" computers for iphone. You authorize computers to play protected itunes content on the computer.
Again, iphone will sync itunes content and pics with ONE computer at a time. This is the way it has been and continues to be.
Ipods are different, but the iphone will sync with ONE computer at a time.
As far as itunes content and pics go - the iphone mirrors the computer, not the other way around.

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
