How do I sync a new Iphone 4S when I already have an Iphone on the same account?

I told it that it was a new phone, but it grabbed my existing name and downloaded the data.

HT4436 aid it was 2/4. How do I restore my new iphone to the backup of 2/14?

I purchased a new iphone 5s and backed up my old iphone to the icloud 2/14. When I started the new phone it restored to a backup from 2/4--how do I restore my new iphone to the backup from the icloud today 2/14?

Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to confirm that the backup of your old phone is listed. If so, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

how can i find my lose iphone with the same apple id i use now

If you set it up on your iPhone before you lost it then you can sign into your iCloud account on a computer and attempt to locate it.

My husband and I both have iPhones on the same account. When he did his update yesterday, he chose both his number and my number during set up. Now he is getting my messages, too. Can someone please help me fix this?

What do you mean he chose his and your number during setup. Chose them for what? Is you number showing up in the Settings>Messages>"You can be reached by imessage at" section? If it is he needs to remove it.
Cheers,

you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

My pinned tab for Firfox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

My pinned tab for Firefox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows when I click it. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

Hmmm, mine stack up over the pinned icon as you would expect (Win7Pro x64). Is there anything special about the way you're starting up Firefox? Security sandbox? Using any command-line switches?

HT1386 How do I sync my new iPhone to an old iTunes?

I've just bought an iPhone 4. I had an iPod touch before so I already have an iTunes account with all my content on it. I have tried to sync my new iPhone to my iTunes and it says that the the syncing has finished but my songs and apps aren't appearing on my iPhone. Am I doing something wrong?

Ok first of all sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.
Today i got my new iphone and i want to sync it to itunes
Plug it in and sync it.
If you have the old phone backed up and want all the info from the old iPhone on this iPhone select Restore from backup.

Got a new iPhone, using the same laptop, doesn't sync

I bought my first iPhone.
I installed iTunes to my laptop and setup my first iPhone on it.
Everything I selected to sync, would sync to the phone.
I've recently had to exchange my iPhone for a new one.
I connected my second iPhone to the same laptop.
I setup the second iPhone and it only syncs the previous phone's apps to it.
iTunes doesn't sync anything else, now, i.e. Music, Photos, Podcasts, etc.
I've tried to uninstall iTunes and delete the "Apple Computer" folder in my profile.
How do I fix this?

Well I am more than happy to help out others with sync problems on their iPhone. I'll throw out another post to raise the sync question and if anyone needs help, i'm here for them.
But... I'm not so eager to give out that information to Apple. And why should I? Apple has not only been less than eager to chime in on posts, but they have a nasty habit of altering posts, reshaping them to make them look pretty and disguise core facts, or completely deleting posts regarding critical issues. I realize they want to look good to the public, but you know what Apple, part of a discussion is working out all of the details of the issue, squashing the rumors, talking about all of it. Not ignorning those things.
Call me crazy, good communication, why would that be good right?

TS1474 Two iPhones sharing the same iTunes account - how do we create a new account for one of them now that both phones have been registered with the same account?

We have recently upgraded 2 iPhones to the 4S and are having difficulties registering with the same log in and passwords in iTunes.
How can we re-register one of them with it's own identity and avoid the same apps being copied o both devices?
We would like each iPhone to have it's own identity but use the same computer for backing up.

Hi, you will need to set up a new user account on the computer. The iTunes on this new user will be empty but you can download past iTunes purchases from the iTunes store

Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?

its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?

You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
Unplug that device.
Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
