  • How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

    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.

  • Computer crashed how to sync TWO iphones on one computer?

    Any help is appreciated. My PC that I sync my iphone on has crashed and I tried to sync my iphone on my wifes laptop, but she has an iphone as well. I can log into iTunes, but cannot see any of my podcasts, applications or information.
    Is there any way to sync two iphones on one computer?

    The easiest least complicated way to keep your info and her info seperate and not worry about things is to take advantage of user profiles on your computer (in XP)...so each of you log into XP with your own accounts, thus iTunes (and any other software like mail, etc) all have your own settings.
    Otherwise, you will have to watch which account is logged into iTunes Store (click store and see what name is up top right in case you both have different accounts)...and make sure you are logged in with the right account before syncing. iTunes does know the difference between your phones so each can setup different settings of what to sync to, but your library on your computer will be mixed unless you do what I said first, use different profiles (user logins) for XP.

  • How do I sync two iPhones with my iTunes and still have different apps on each phone? Do I use home sharing?

    Does home sharing let me have the same iTunes library on mine and my girlfriends phones?

    If you are synching all music that you have in iTunes on your computer then, when you next sync, any music not in iTunes but on the iPod should be removed.

  • How to sync two iPhones on to the same MacBook Pro?

    I have an iPhone 4 and previously I would sync my phone to my MacBook, but my husband bought me a PC.  So now instead of figuring out how to sync to my PC I would really just like to sync to his Macbook Pro, as I am using that more due to a new job.  How do I do this w/o messing my phone up the first time I sync and then how do I continue to do this without adding all his contact and calendar info into my phone too?  Also I am signing up for MobileMe and have questions about how that works with two iPhones in the house and using the same iTunes account for apps and such (we rarely if ever purchase music).
    Thanks so very much!!!

  • How to sync two devices with single Apple ID?

    I would like to use the same Apple ID for both devices. During syncing in computer ITunes, is it possible to avoid the applications in both devices share to each others?

    What syncs to any given device from a single iTunes library depend on how you have that device's profile set up in iTunes. When you connect the device to iTunes and select it under Devices, you will see a screen to the right. That screen has several tabs, including a tab for Apps. You select which apps you want on a particular device there.
    Be sure you do not have "Automatice Downloads" set up under Settings>iTunes & App Stores for the devices in question.

  • I need to know how i sync my iphone 4s with itunes when i already have my ipod touch synced to it??

    my ipod touch is already synced to my itunes. i want to sync my iphone 4s. when i plug it in it says there is already an ios device synced to this computer, do you want to 1. set up as new phone or 2. restore from the back up of my ipod....what do i do? and will this effecy my ipod??

    What itunes is asking is would you like to import the files and settings of your ipod to your iphone? It'll import things like contacts, calendar, mail, apps with app data.  If you want your phone set up just like your ipod then use that option.  Otherwise pick "set up as a new device" and it'll allow you to keep the two seperate and you will be able to sync them both to your itunes independently of each other.

  • 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!

  • HT1420 How do I sync two iPhones to my Itunes, one a Canadian iPhone and the other a USA iPhone?

    I have an Canadian iPhone 3GS and an USA iPhone 4S, How do I sync them with iTunes, without overwriting the other data and software versions?
    Thank you for any advisce!

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • How to sync two iphone agendas with one mac ?

    Dear all,
    This is my first question here, and I looked it up, but so far I didn't find a satisfactory answer
    I own a MacBook Pro and iPhone, that I keep for private stuff.
    Recently my employer provided me with a new iPhone for work. Both therefore have different Apple ID's
    I would like to sync both calendars to my MacBooks calendar, and possibly private iPhone, so I don't have to keep my work iPhone with me all the time.
    How to proceed ?
    Thanks

    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 manage two iphones on one itunes

    when i plug in my fathers i phone in to my computer it wants to replace my iphone with his. i just need instructions on how to have to devices on one itunes

    Easy.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes, which is selected under the various tabs for the device's sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Syncing two iPhones with one iTunes account, archive and install

    I had a blue screen and had to archive and install.
    I re-synched my iPhone and at that time put my iPhone contacts in my address book with
    my group name, that I just created. I created a group for her and now want to re-synch her iPhone
    with my computer and with my iTunes account, like before. I get a message that the info on that her iPhone is synched with another user account. A choice to merge info from this user account or replace info from this user account. I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under
    her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.

    I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.
    You should select the Merge option. If you don't, the existing contact information in the Address Book on your Mac will replace all contact info in her iPhone's address book.
