HT1386 How do I manage 2 iPhones on one computer?

How do I manage 2 iPhones on one computer? We tried this and ended up with each others numbers and apps. We have our own iTunes ID, it is mainly the music on the computer that we want for the phones. Who has the answer without us getting each others apps & contacts. HELP!!!!

  • HT1386 How do I sync my iphone when my computer keeps giving me a "you don't have enough access priviliges" message

    How do I sync my iphone when keep getting a "you don't have enough access priviliges" message?

    I don't know all the details but will ask some basic questions:
    Did you download iTunes on your computer? You sync your phone to your computer by starting iTunes on your computer and connecting your phone.
    Another tip is to use the View menu in iTunes on your computer to View Sidebar. Your phone should show up in the left sidebar of iTunes on your computer when connected to your computer. You select it there and then use the tabs to the right to select items to sync to your iPhone.
    Sorry if these suggestions are too obvious.

  • How do you move the iphone from one computer to another.

    I am having a lot of trouble with a computer so I started using a different one. I have never had an iphone on this computer. When I hook up the phone and try to put anything on it, like a ringtone, it says that the phone is using another iTunes and it wants to erase all the content of the phone. I searched the internet and it says to just move it and all will be good. This I have found is not true!!

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to the new or different computer per the instructions included with this link. Transferring your iTunes library from your old computer to the new or different computer you will be be using now to sync your iPhone with per the instructions included with this link (along with authorizing the new or different computer with your iTunes account with iTunes) will prevent any iTunes content on your iPhone that was transferred from your old computer from being erased from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on the new or different computer.

  • How do I manage two iPods on one computer please?

    I have an iPod (early 40G model, and it's fine). I installed iTunes, and all fine. A year goes by. Another member of the household gets an iPod (mini), and we load the software into a different subdirectory in Program Files. This erases my iTunes, but all still works fine for some reason. i.e. when I attach my iPod, it is recognised, and my iTunes music is shown on the screen. When the other iPod is attached, same thing (i.e. it is recognised and her iTunes are shown on the screen). Our different music folders are stored in different subdirectories.
    This is all fine, until her iPod erases itself, and is now no longer recognised by iTunes. In the processes advised for solving this situation (restore and reset etc) we erase my iPod (but have managed to restore music to if after re-installing the original software that came with it.)
    So now we are back to the stage of having her iPod not being recognised by iTunes. Please suggest solutions! Please also advise if there is a more sensible way of managing two iPods on one PC. Is it really as basic as having different playlists?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yep. Playlists will do it.

  • HT1296 how do I unsynch my iPhone with one computer in order to resynch it with another? could part of my problem be that I initially synched with the first computer under one apple ID then created a new ID so that the two different computers are recogniz

    I,m having trouble unsynching my phone from one computer in order to synch it with a new one. I beleive that part of the problem is that I originally set the phone up with one Apple ID then changed to a new ID. Any thoughts on how to work around this? If not how do I erase the new Apple ID in order to make the switch from one computer to the other? this problem is also affecting my ability to make full use of some apps.

    Switching Apple IDs and trying to synch with two computers is the problem.
    The apps you purchase or download are always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them.
    Content synced from one computer will be lost when syncing to a different computer.
    I suggest you make sure you have a backup of all the music, photos, and documents on the computer you plan to sync with from now on. Once you have done that you can use the Settings app to erase your device and start over.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings
    Then setup your device again as if it was new. Plan to use one and only one Apple ID. You can then sync with your computer which should be using that same Apple ID.
    Pan to download all apps again. Apps that were purchased with the Apple ID you are now using can be downloaded for free. Apps that were purchased using the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    Obviously all free apps can be downloaded again without charge.

    How to manage, sync, use iCloud without data getting mixed up on one computer

    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.

  • How can I transfer an iPhone from one computer to another?

    Hi all!
    So, I got my boyfriend an iPhone 4 last year and his computer was so outdated that he could not sync it with his computer.  We recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (no Lion for us yet) for both his and my computer and now he can sync his phone with his own computer.  Before, he could not back up his contacts in his address book, or his calendar, etc.  So anyway, when I plug in his phone to the computer, it recognizes it, but will not allow me to create a backup in his iTunes.  It will also not let me "assign" the phone to the computer.  Any suggestions?  Also, even if I do a complete restore, how can I add the stuff backed up to his iCloud once it's restored?  Any help would be great.  Thanks!

    Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

  • How do I use 2 iPhones with one computer (iTunes)

    My wife & I each have an iPhone. Everytime I sync we both end up with the same songs, apps, etc. Is there a way that we can use the same computer for syncing but have our own separate libraries on our phones?

    Create her own user acount on the PC.

  • How do I unregister my iphone on one computer to register it on a different one?

    I registered my iphone on my friends computer with her itunes because mines wasnt working, now I got mines working and everytime I try to go look at my music and add more when I plug it in, it only charges. Why does this keep happening?

    You authorize your new computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. Deauthorizing your previous computer first or at all is not required.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store from an iPod, iPhone, or iOS device. This is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    After authorizing your new computer with your Apple ID with iTunes, with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From – the name of your iPhone.

  • I look after multiple ipads each with their own itunes account. How can I manage them all from one computer.

    I am looking after 20 ipads each with their own itunes account.  Am I able to have more than one itunes account on my computer so that I can sync these ipads when necessary.  We don't always buy our songs on itunes. Sometimes we buy the cds and download them onto itunes so i need to attach them to the computer to sync the songs.  I will need to do this all on my one computer.  Can this be done.  If not, what do you do in this instance.

    Best way to do it is to create a user for each iTunes account.

  • HT1386 Synching multiple iPhones on one computer

    How do I synch multiple iphones on one computer. Last time I tried, I wiped out the contacts on one of the phones, so I want to be sure not to do this again. I don't want to wipe out any data on either of the phones (contacts, music, etc). I also am not sure what iphone I have, I've looked in settings and can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

    I understand that. What is the purpose of synching then?  Maybe I should have said I want to share music between the devices, but that is all. And I don't want to wipe out any of the music on one of the phones, which is what happened last time I tried to synch.
