How to sync 2 iPhones to same machine?

I'm getting a new iPhone4 and my wife will likely inherit my older phone (3G). How do we both sync to the same machine/instance of iTunes? Do we simply have to be sure we're logged in as the right user in tunes before we sync or is there more.. or less(?) to this?
Thanks!
Jay

Hello, we are in the same position. We both have a user account on our Macbook and that way, things never get confused. We have separate itunes accounts but when we want to share songs, videos etc, we put it into 'Shared folder' and you can access it from the other username. It seems to be very good at keeping the two separate.
Good luck.
Amy

  • How to sync multiple iPhones on same iPhoto library

    My wife has reached her limit of storahe on her iphone 4s and needs to put her photos somewhere else to free up space. I currently have my iPhone 4s set up to where it will sync photos via photo stream to my iPhoto library. Is there a way to allow her phone to do the same thing so she can delete them on her phone without losing them? I am using a MBP running OSX Lion v 10.8.4. Thanks

    Connect her iPhone to the Mac via it's cable and open iPhoto.  iPhoto will indicate how many photos need to be imported and ask to do so.  It will also also ask if you want the photos deleted off the iPhone.  DO NOT agree at this time.
    Make sure the photos are safely in the library.  Quit iPhoto and relaunch. iPhoto will recognize the phone and tell you there are no new photos to import. Then tell it to delete

  • How to sync ipod touch & iphone on same machine ?

    Greetings to all from the Greekislands !
    I'm a new member here,Bought an ipod touch 2nd gen. last year,very happy with it.Just bought an iphone 3gs 32 gb.Even happier...Hands down...iphone rocks !
    One question, my ipod touch is 16 gb,my iphone is 32 gb,I already have 20 + gb on iphone....How do i sync both from the same machine ?
    Any info much appreciated !

    Each of the panes in iTunes allows you to sync only selected playlists, ringtones, podcasts, movies, photo albums, contact groups, applications, etc. iTunes will treat your iPhone and your iPod as completely separate and distinct devices and you can sync each as you like. The choices you make for your iPod can be the same or completely different from your iPhone choices.
    I have over 5800 songs in my iTunes library, but only 1030 of them on my iPhone. I use several playlists and sync my music by choosing to sync selected play lists in the music tab.
    Several playlists never change, these are my favorites. I have another playlist that I use to cycle songs on and off the phone. I add and delete songs from this playlist frequently.
    If you haven't used playlists before, watch this video tutorial: http://www.apple.com/itunes/tutorials/#video-createplaylists
    You can also elect to manually manage your music and videos on your iPhone. Select “Manually manage music and videos” in the iPhone's summary pane in iTunes to turn off automatic syncing in the Music and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 73 of the manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    I personally think the playlist method is easier, but others prefer the manual method. I prefer not to use the check and uncheck procedure as unchecked songs are ignored by iTunes for most anything.
    Here are two articles about syncing that may help you.

    How to sync between iPhone and iPad at Podcasts app?

    Please elaborate - share what?
    Just guessing here...
    Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
    For apps/music: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads OFF.
    For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
    For iMessage: Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • HOW TO SYNC MY IPHONE CONTACTS TO BOTH MY IPHONE AND ANDROID PHONE SIMENTENEOUSLY

    hello
    anybody tells me how to sync my iphone contacts to both of my iphone and android phone at the same time

    Using iCloud you are then able to transfer your contacts from one iphone to an alternate device. Typically the best way to move contacts from an apple device to android would be for you to go to your wireless carrier for assitance.
    Apple mobile devices don't make this type of transferring of data between apple and android devices.

  • How to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing?

    How to sync my iphone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing? When I initially set up everything it worked fine; however, now my contacts are not syncing between devices?
    I have Icloud and even paid for ectra storage to see if this was the issue but it doesnt seems to be.  When I try and view devices on my itunes to sync it will not allow - blank option?
    If anyone could please help it would be really appreciated- thanks in advance:)

    I don't know how you got to your current position, but you might want to start by replacing your calendar with your MacBook Pro calendar if it is correct (if it isn't, skip this):  first disable calendar syncing on your phone (Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to OFF), then prior to syncing open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (under Preferences>Devices>Disable...from syncing automatically syncing).  Next connect your phone and set your sync settings on the Info tab to Syc Calendars with iCal, and below under Advanced choose "Replace Information on this iPhone" and check Calendars.  Now sync and this will hopefully replicate your MacBook calendar on your iPhone.
    Next, carefully review this to see that you have correctly set up iCloud on both your phone and your MacBook: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, and that your meet the minimum system requirements (latest version of iOS on your phone, latest version of iTunes, OSX Lion 10.7.2 or later).

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

    How to sync an iPhone with iTunes 12?
    i downloaded today iTunes 12 and i wanted now to sync my iPhone with it... but i'm lost. i cannot find my iPhone on iTunes 12. How to sync it?

    OK.  So when you plug it in, what happens?
    When I plug in my iPhone, along the top row of icons, a new one appears in the shape of a phone. If I click on that, I get a sidebar with info on my phone and to the right is information similar to what I'd see in previous versions of iTunes. I have it set up to sync when connected, so the sync starts immediately.
    (Edit...)
    Here's the icon that I get when I plug the phone in:
