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 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

HT1386 syncing multiple iPhones on same computer

How can I sync two iPhones on the same laptop? right now they are both treated as one.

See this support document for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495, however, there is no way that iTunes can treat two devices as the same, unless you have the settings in iTunes for the two devices set the same. Each iOS device is identified differently in iTunes. It is how you set iTunes to handle the two devices that can differ.
Why are you saying they are treated as one?

How to manage multiple iPhones on one iPhoto account?

Hi folks. I'm stumped and need some assistance. I have a 2012 MBP and an iPhone 5. I'm running the most current software on both. I typically have no problems with iPhoto. My wife has an iPhone 5, bit no computer. Wanting to save her photos onto my computer, I plugged her phone into my MBP, it opened iPhoto automatically, and I followed the prompts to import the pictures from her phone. After completion, I cannot find her photos anywhere on iphoto or the package contents in finder.
I tried starting the import process over, but when I plugged in her phone a second time, I photo told me that all the pictures from that phone had already been imported. If I tried anyway, it would give me the "duplicate photo already exists. Do you want to import anyway?" Prompt.
I'm frustrated because I have no idea where to even look to find these photos that are supposedly already imported. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If it helps any, I was only running one account (mine) in iPhoto, and any import I do with my own phone still works fine. Thanks in advance for your help

When you get the "Duplicate Photos already imported " alert, then the photos are in your iPhoto Library.
Check, if her iPhone has the date set correctly. If the dates are correct, sort the events by date from the "View" menu: View > Sort events > By Date > Descending

If you have purchased songs or apps from the iTunes store, you can authorize up to 5 additional users to play or use them. You can drag the songs or apps to a USB stick or a DVD (data DVD) and import them into his iTunes. Once you have imported them, you will have to authorize them by entering your iTunes ID and Password.
Also, you can authorize him now, and if you get five better friends or family in the future, you can revoke all authorizations from your iTUnes and start over.

How to sync 2 iPhones with 1 iTunes library and have separate settings?

Hi,
in the family we have one Mac that hods all the music within iTunes. We have two iPhones which are currently linked with this iTunes library. As we have different apps and different settings the iphones get confused with the apps and especially with the iPhone settings (I have mobileme, my wife not). So now we both have each others notes for example synced to both iPhones.
We would like to separate the whole thing now - is there any save way to have these iPhones synced separately to the one iTunes library without loosing data?
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately this does not work because iTunes still keeps one account with the store active regardless which library I open. So when I switch the account in the store it will be switched for both libraries. That means that I can not separate the iPhone applications and all the other specific sync parameters.
I thought about using my wife's account on the Mac and pointing iTunes to the new library - the problem here is that then the iPhoto library is not accessible any more......
I can't really believe that there is no solution from Apple - I mean there must be more couples and families out there with 2 and more iPhones syncing with one iTunes / iPhoto etc libraries.
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

Household of iPhones -- How to Sync multiple iPhones with Multiple Computer

We just purchased two iPhones, one for me and one for my wife. Awesome so far, activation was a breeze, no problem getting on our wifi network. Now we're choosing what to sync. We have two computers -- one macpro for me, a powerbook g4 for my wife. We keep all of our iLife stuff on my computer (all itunes songs, all iphoto pictures, etc.). We keep our respective e-mail, contacts, and calendars on our respective computers.
How should synching work? For me, it's just my computer so no issue. But for my wife, I seem to need to sync once with my computer for music/pictures, then once with her computer for her mail/contacts/calendar. Is this possible?

Hey W.Scheinler,
It is possible to sync the phones from multiple computers, for example you can sync your music from your Mac Pro and Contacts from the Powerbook G4.
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305741 will give more detailed information.

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.

How to sync multiple iPhone calendars with Google calendars?

Hi
I have an iPhone 4S with 5 different IOS calendars setup on it. I have linked my iPhone 4S to Outlook calendars via iClouds so when I update any of the calendars it successfully updates all the calendars in Outlook. I now want to be able to sync all my 5 IOS calendars with Google Calendar - I don't mind not being able to 2-way sync and don't mind Google calendar being read only but I DO want Google Calendar to keep updated with any changes I make on my IOS calendars.
I've currently got my gmail account on my iPhone as a CalDav account but it only updates the primary IOS calendar. I want to be able to sync all 5 IOS calendars to Google calendar and keep it updated. How do I do this?
Thanks

Syncing Nano & iphone using same itunes library

How do I sync my itunes to my 4th gen nano and my iphone? So I can have my same music on the nano and the iphone? So they are mirrored?

Not with just itunes, but 3rd-party programs such as TuneRanger claim to be able to do it.
I assume you are talking about using one ITL file for both systems?
Also, if your NAS drive is formatted NTFS, you need special software on the Mac to read it.
And your iPods have to be formatted for Windows.

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you?

How do I sync multiple iPhones to different Macs and still share calendars?

In my household, we have 4 macs, 2 iPhones and 2 iPods (Touch). We also have a Family MobileMe account. What I would like to do is sync some services to ALL the macs and devices and some services to the mac and device of ONLY THAT USER. The set up would be this:
ALL (all the macs and devices would share these services)
Contacts
Calendars
USER based (1 mac syncs to one device ONLY these services)
Bookmarks
Dashboard Widgets
Dock Items
Keychains
Mail Accounts
Mail Rules
Signatures
Smart Mailboxes
Notes & Preferences
My goal is to be able to add an event to my calendar and have it appear in ALL of my family's calendars (same with contacts) via the "cloud." However, I do not want my bookmarks appearing on my son's computer or my wife's mail appearing on my iPhone, etc.
If anyone, knows how to set this up, I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thank you.

Sync them to the same iTunes library and select to sync to the same Calendar on the Info tab in your iTunes sync settings. Or, sync them to the same iCloud account and turn on Calendar syncing in Settings>iCloud.
