HT1386 can you have 2 iphones on same computer

My partner already has an iphone and itunes set up on our laptop. I now have a new iphone but when I plug it into laptop it brings up my partners itunes. Is it OK to select set up new iphone, or will this erase my partners itunes details and music?

  • Can you have 2 Ipods on same computer and each have a different library

    I am running two Ipods on one computer. I have it set for manually chaning the songs not automatic. My question is do we have to share a library? Is it possible for us to each have our own library and if so how do you do that.

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • TS4006 can you have multiple phones on same user email

    can you have multiple phones on same user email

    If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes.  Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account.  Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.

  • Can you have 2 iphones on one itune account

    My wife and i both have a iphone now and we currently have them both under one itunes account.  We have noticed that both of our contacts show up in each of our phones.  is there a way to keep this from happening?  Or do we need to set up two different itune accounts?

    My spouse and I have one iTunes account but separate apple IDs. Are you sharing apple IDs? That might be the problem. We have two iPads not two iPhones (yet), but seems like it would most likely work the same. I don't see his contacts and he doesn't see mine, so that would be my suggestion. Make sure you each have your own apple IDs but one iTunes account and see if you still have the same issue.

  • HT4972 Can you have two iPhones to the one iTunes account? I am overseas and using the old iPhone 4 here, but also have a current iPhone 5.

    I have two iPhones, a 5 which I currently use and an old 4 which I use as a second phone as I am overseas. I have connected both to iTunes. Does this cause any problems have two phones on the one iTune account, as far as updates, etc goes?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It won't cause any problem. Moreover, you will be able to share the purchases between both phones and have the same information by using iCloud, so you don't lose anything

    Simplest way is to create a New User Account.
    Each user will then have their own iTunes library..

  • HT203097 if your ip[hone was backed up to itunes in the cloud do you have to use the same computer to transfer the information to a new iphone

    my iphone 5 stopped working and could not be charged  Apple has rep[lasced it with a new iphone 5 and i have to use a different computer to access my backup in itunes .  Is that a problem?
    thanks

    The title of your post says "iTunes in the cloud" -- there are actually 2 different types of backup. One is to iCloud and one iTunes. If you did the backup via iTunes then the backup data is stored on that computer and you will need that computer to do the restore. If the backup was done to iCloud you don't need a computer. Following is more information: Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

    Give each iPhone a unique name.
    If you want to separate contacts, backups, etc.,
    create a new user account for the second iPhone on the computer.

  • Can you have 2 iPods on 1 computer?

    I've had an iPod mini for almost 2 years and I'm out of room so I want to buy the 5th generation iPod but I don't know anything about hooking it up. I already have my mini's library and everything set up on my computer and someone told me I have to set my new one up on a separate computer. Is this true? Anything you can tell me about how to set up my new one would be greatly appreciated! Thank you =]

    you can have two libraries on one computer.. bottom line, you dont need another computer if you want to own two different ipods.

  • Can you have two ipods on one computer?

    Ok I have a mac computer and an ipod nano and everything works great, but my mom is now getting an ipod nano. Is there a way to have two ipods on my computer, where each ipod has it's own library and account so we don't have to share all of our music?

    There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
    Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Mac
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
