HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes

How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?

Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing.

  • HT4859 How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

    How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

    First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
    You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime.  Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud).  For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • How do I keep my downloaded content on my iPhone 4 when connectng to iTunes? It says erase and sync. I want to keep what I have downloaded, and manually manage contend on iTunes. Can I do this without it saying erase and sync?

    How do I keep my downloaded content on my iPhone 4 when connectng to iTunes? It says erase and sync. I want to keep what I have downloaded, and manually manage contend on iTunes. Can I do this without it saying erase and sync?

    No backup? Never a good idea to not maintain a backup of your important data. If you do not have a backup, follow these instructions:
    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you formatted your computer, your phone, will see your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in whatever supported applications you use for contact & calendar syncing. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library and other important data..

  • How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

    Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
    As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
    I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level.  I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
    (In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
    Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:

    (See this earlier thread if you wish!)
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
    At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
    As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
    This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
    In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
    What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
    I have one OS drive
    and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Harm,
    Regarding your comment:
    Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
    Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
    If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
    Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
    Step 2: Turn off the computer
    Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
    Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
    Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
    Cheers,
    Jim

  • IOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

    iOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

    if a Mac OSX Computer is in near - try iBackup Viewer.
    This is free of charge and can read your backup.
    and thats the main difference. Those tools are reading the saved Data in the backup
    but itunes attempts to restore the data from the backup on your iphone. if there are any corrupted data in the backup - the backup restore goes wrong. this can happen during security software or wrong corrupt data already stored on the iphone.
    if itunes messed up to restore from backup try this one :
    - restore your iphone to factory settings using HT1808 or reset all settings and content direct from iphone
    - rename your iPhone (e.g. iPhone Test)
    - setup your iPhone as new device -> attempt to make a new backup - if successful -
    - click in itunes on restore from backup... and choose your desired backup
    or go to:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(Username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista - Windows 7: \Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Pull your complete BackupFolder and try a different PC - copy the BackupFolder on this different PC in the same Path above - start iTunes and see if your Backup is there - attempt to restore from Backup again

  • How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?

    How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?  I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually  from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...

    Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

  • Missing Ringtone When Syncing with iTunes - How do I remove Corrupt Ringtones from my iPhone?

    PLEASE HELP!  I've been having trouble with a ringtone I purchased a few months back. Everything was fine, until a month ago when i synced my phone with iTunes, and my ringtone suddenly disappeared.  I have tried several times to sync / resync my phone again and again, and the ringtone is not there.  It is in my iTunes library under Tones, and it plays when I double-click on it.  But for some reason it won't sync over to my phone.  I've been in contact with Apple Support over email and they have put the ringtone back on my account twice, and both times I have been able to download it back directly to my iPhone.  But it's the same story all over again when I sync with iTunes... the ringtone just disappears, even when I checked "Sync Tones".
    Interestingly enough, when I take a look at my iPhone in iTunes, under Tones, there are 4 instances of the ringtone, all of them have an error icon next to them, as shown in the screenshot below:
    I've tried to NOT sync ringtones, but this list still appears.  For some reason I cannot delete these corrupt ringtones from my phone.
    In my library, the ringtones appear fine, and play fine when I double-click on them.  I don't know why there are 2 of them though.
    Please help!  I've been at this for a month and cannot find a solution!  I've re-bought the ringtone twice, but everytime I sync, it disppears all over again.  I think removing the corrupt ringtones from the iPhone may solve the issue.  Once I remove the corrupt files, I can start from scratch since the ones in my library play fine.  But the problem is I don't know how to remove the corrupt files from my phone.  Please help!

  • Why do I keep having an app that fails to install, after syncing with iTunes on my computer?

    One or two months ago, I purchased EA's game 'Need for Speed Most Wanted', when it was on special for $1.29 NZ. I downloaded the app onto my iPod touch (4th generation 8GB), and later synced the app with my computer. A few weeks later I deleted this app from my iPod to free up some space (this is around a 1.8GB app by the way). In the past few days I have tried syncing this app from the computer to my iPod. Every time I sync, the app loads fine, and starts installing for a few minutes, but then comes up with a message saying: 'Most Wanted' failed to install. If I try syncing the app several more times, I then get a message saying: 'Unable to Download Item. The operation couldn't be completed (SSMobileInstallationErrorDomain error -402620393.)'. I am using a Windows 7 laptop with the latest version of iTunes. My iPod is running iOS 6.1.3. I have two apple id's, the first being signed in on my laptop, and the second being signed in on my iPod. The id's are both authorised with the laptop, and my iPod is associated with both id's as a device. I don't think this would have contributed to the problem though. This has become very frustrating! Can anyone please help?

    How much free storag do y have on the iPod? I would try freeing up more and try syncing again.
    If your country allows redownloading app, then delete the app from the computer and redownload and sync
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Try redownloading directly to the iPod. Note you wil need about 5.4 GB free on the iPod.

  • Events from iCal changes when synced with phone :-((

    Hi! I've just bought a bluetooth adapter so I can sync my phone with ical. I'm convinced this will bring me one step closer to a digital synchronized heaven, but (of course) I encountered a problem:
    When I have added an event to my phone (Sony Ericsson T610) and syncs the calendar with my laptop (iBook G4 933 MHz), the event is "postponed" by two hours. For example: I have an appointment with - say - Pamela Anderson from 12:00 to 15:00 which I add to my phone. When syncing with iCal, the event has changed to 14:00-17:00.
    When I add the event to my laptop first, and then syncs it with the phone - the time of the event is set two hours earlier . To take my great example again, the event would then appear to be from 10:00-13:00.
    I've gone through all preferences etc. I can find in both iCal, iSync and on the phone. I've found no help online either... Does anyone have a clue? If so, please give me a hint on what to do, I would be immensely grateful!

    I was convinced that my time zone was GMT, but when I checked it was GMT +2 hrs, which solved my problem! Thank you so much Julian for helping me solve this, I cant wait to start a synced life

  • Leave stuff on one device but remove from the other

    Hello,
    how do I remove music from my ipad 2 but leave it on my iphone 4s?  Same question for apps and photos, what if I want to remove certain apps on one device but leave on the other?  Does iTunes recognice each device as its own entity?

    so will itunes remember which items I choose to sync or not sync depending on which device is plugged into the computer everytime I plug a device in?
    Yes.
    What if I only want certain songs on one and all songs on the other device, does itunes remember the checked songs or unchecked songs depending on which device is plugged into the computer?
    Yes.
    If you have a Mac, you can have multiple devices plugged in and syncing simultaneously. They'll be treated as independent devices (because that's what they are).
    This is the way all Apple devices have worked right from the very first iPod over 10 years ago.

  • I purchased songs via my iPhone but lost it when syncing with itunes. How do I get them back?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm sure this happened to some of you before but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    I purchased music direct via my iPhone but when I synced with iTunes some of my albums were missing. What is also weird is that the digital booklets have synced but I can't find the songs. How do I get them back?
    I know that Apple has a policy to not downloading twice but I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm not all that confident either so would really appreciate the help.
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    What timezone is your iCal set to (this may be different from your computer timezone look at the top right of the iCal window)?
    What is the timezone on your iPad under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Calendars > Time Zone Support ?

  • HT1386 I have a new Iphone 5.  Have downloaded 6.0.1  am in the process of syncing with itunes and it is taking hours to sync.  I do backup to the cloud.  I synced my iphone4s to computer prior to plugging iphone 5 so the latest data would be on system.

    I have a new iphone 5.  Trying to sync with itunes on my computer.  Prior to plugging in new phone i made sure my other phone had synced with computer so all data was current.  My old iphone does sync with cloud.  When i plug in my iphone 5 for syncing it gets to step 5 and continues on for eternity...it has never completed syncing.  This has been over a hour.  Any ideas...ps old phone 4s backed up to cloud also and syncs would only take a minute or 2.

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • A contact and calander program that can sync with iTunes

    Hi There Everydoby-
      I was wondering if anybody know of a free calander and contact program that can sync with iTunes and my iPod touch. I do not have Microsoft Office, I currently use Open Office for my word and Excel documents. But I do not have a clalander or contact program that will sync with iTunes.
      So if anybody can let me know if anybody is using or know's of what I can use that will work with iTunes, i'd really appriciate it.
    Thanks- Doug

    Hey Galilio,
    You can try restoring the iPhone from a backup that is dated before the contacts were erased. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 will walk you through restoring the iPhone from backup.
    You can also Reset the Sync History from the iTunes preferences window, under Devices. This would force iTunes to prompt you again, asking if you want to merge or replace contacts. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides more information.
