HT201209 Can two iphones use the same itune gift card?

My husband and I are new to iphones, and would like to purchase one itunes gift card and both use it on our iphones. I have an apple id set up, he does not yet have one. Can we share an itunes account if we have different apple id's?

Related question... I have read mixed reviews on whether or not families with multiple apple products should have a single or many apple ids. This site is interesting... http://gigaom.com/apple/how-many-apple-ids-should-your-family-have/comment-page- 2/
Is there a general consensus on this issue? Since my husband has not yet set up an apple id, this is the time we need to decide.
Thanks so much!

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it. Really need some help. Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store? Even her apps wont appear

If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

Settings > Messages > Receive At...
Any iPhone that lists the same email will receive the same texts. This has to be changed in order to stop receiving on all devices.

CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
Thanks,
trippj

Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
It worked for me

Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

HT3529 will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

Can two players use the same game app without erasing each other's scores?

Can two players use the same game app on the same device without erasing each other's scores? My two sons build up their characters and progress in their games, then the other one wants to play, erasing the first son's progress.
Is it possible to create two player identities in the Game Center?
Is it possible to have two different Apple User ID accounts on the same device? Is that even desirable?
Many thanks!

You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.

I have 2 iPhones using the same itunes on one computer, how do I sync each

I have 2 iPhones using the same itunes on one computer, how do I sync each one separately and how do I sync my outlook contact separately.... please help

I tried that and it says "The information on the iPhone "Michael's iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
"Merge Info merges the information on this Iphone with the information fro this user account.
"Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account."
I am not sure which user they are talking about. Is it my phone (the one that is hooked up) or the other phone?

Can two bands use the same name on iTunes?

Hi, I'm in a band that uses the same name as another band listed on iTunes.
Can two bands with the same name be listed on iTunes? We hope to eventually have an album for sale on the site and I'd like to know now if it's going to be a problem.

Of course it will be a problem. You simply can not have two bands with the same name. I can think of MANY bands that had to change their names (either completely or just for certain countries) because the name was already taken. Blink (Blink-182), Bush (Bush X), The Beat (The English Beat), Yazoo (Yaz), and the list goes on and on.
Your band better start brain storming for a new or modified name.

Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. it will work. I am using it through this

Can I have two iPhones on the same iTunes account under the new apple terms?

I have two iPhones (4 & 3GS). Is it possible to have them using the one iTunes account or do they have to have separate accounts? I had heard that there may be a change in the apple terms so that you cannot do this, but not sure if it's true?

You can have as many iPhone and other iDevices as you want associated with your iTunes account.
