HT201210 Having two iPhones on one account

How can you whipe an old iTunes account for a different iPhone??

One option is to create separate user accounts. This may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495.

Can you run two iphones on one account

Can you ? Two phones sync on one account .

I have two iPhones and daughters basic cell on a family plan here in US (AT&T). Each iPhone requires it's own data plan (charge) to be applied to the one account (bill).
But I would say call the cell provider as they are the ones that provide service for the phone, while Apple is about the hardware. We all here are users and can tell you what we think or heard or experienced but only fact can come from the provider.

Two iphone on one account.

I have two iphone do I have to open two account? Can I have it on one computer.Or I have two computer,do I have to seperate

Yes, you can have both on one computer. I also have 2 iPhones connected to one PC. That was a pretty easy set up at the first time I connected the phone to PC. Just give the iphone different name, such as my iPhone or Tom's iPhone.

Can i use two iphone on one account

You can sync as many iphone /ipods/ipads as you like to one computer/library.
Plug one in. Select what you want to sync. Sync. Unplug.
Plug the other in. Select what you want to sync. Sync. Unplug.

IMessage on two iPhone with one account

I have two iPhones under my Apple ID (mine and my wife's). I am unable to set up my wife's iPhone using iMessage using her email address. It alway says "unable to verify" or "already in use" Since her email address is unique to her, there is no way it is already in use. Need help, thanks!

OK here is the official way this works...
1. You can setup alternate emails and register them Apple and your icloud/me account is what is used to verify everything. Basically Apple becomes the DNS service of that email address to route imessages to the correct device.
2. The reason you see a message about the email address already being registerd is my guess you have used that email address to register facetime on a device that is not a phone (ad phones are usually linked by phone number). Since my primary personal email is on my imac facetime and my work email is on my macbook pro I could not use these two email addresses for imessage as Apple is using them to route facetime requests to those unique PCs. So I had to use my mobileme/icloud email address with my phone and ipad.
3. Now for my wives iphone and ipad we attached to my mobileme/icloud account but then used her personal email to be the additional address and then you can delete your mobileme/icloud if you put it in there already.
So no imessage requests to my phone/email go to both my ipad and iphone and my wive's ipad and iphone is unique to her phone and pesonal email for her imessage needs.
works well but not easy for the average not tech with many devices to figure out...
...I'm a tech who has been drinking Apple kool-aid for about 5 years...

Two iPhones. One account. Can I have separate calendar alerts?

I have a new 4s. My wife has my old 3GS. We are using the same iTunes/iCloud apple I'd account. It's nice because she can make her own calendar and I can make my own calendar. If I don't want to see her calendar I just deselect it in the calendars to view menu. I can see her stuff if I want to and she mine by going the other way. The problem is Calendar ALERTs. Even if I've deselected her calendar, my iPhone still beeps a reminder at me from one of her Calendar alerts and vice versa. Is there some way to make it so that the alerts only occurr if I've selected her calendar to view?
I also have kinda the same problem with reminders. She gets mine and I get hers even though I've got two separate "lists" of reminders. Can I stop that?
Also a similar deal with contacts. Can we have separate contacts lists and only see the others when we want to?

No, sorry.

Two iPhone users, one account for apps & media

My wife and I just bought iPhones. We are trying to share some stuff and keep other stuff separate, here's what we're looking for.
1. We use two different Macs with different emails.
2. We are using a single Mobile Me account to sync our address book and calendar so that no matter where we are, we know if its okay to schedule something that won't conflict.
3. My Mac has all the iTunes media and apps that we both want to use.
Under those conditions, how do I sync both iPhones?
-Do I need to register both under my AppleID so we can both use the iTunes apps and media? (Will Home Sharing in iTunes allow her to load my apps on her computer like it can with Music)?
-When it comes to email will that be a pain to setup if I sync them both on my iMac?
Thanks

E-mail does not sync with your computer. Iphone has it's own e-mail client, just like your computer. E-mail does not come from a computer - the e-mail client retrieves it from the server just as your computer does.
Mobileme can sync over the air so you do not need to plug in to sync contacts and calendars.
You can sync itunes content (music/vids/apps) from your computer or if the computers are both authorized for the same itunes account, then you can sync to you own machines ( you will need to put the media on both machines).
My wife and I sync our iphones to the same machine ( even though we have two). All contacts and calendars are synced over the air via mobileme, and we share all music and apps.

Two iphones on one account?

I purchased an iphone for each of my children. Set them up each with a separate apple account and itunes acct. (Same credit card). But, can I set them both up under the same account - so that if I buy a song for one they both can use it?

I don't think you need to (unless the kids have different logins on the Mac and can't see each other libraries).
With iTunes purchases, you get up to 5 devices so music and apps should all play happily on each other's devices.
My iTunes library has music, video & app purchases from 3 different accounts (mine current account, an older account I had back in the day, and my wife's account) living happily together and we can sync everything between our iPhones just fine.
I can't remember if I ever had to authorize anything, if I did it was so painless that I don't even remember doing it...

I ended up having two id's, one being my original when first getting into itunes and the other came when I opened a me account. I have purchases under the original id. How do I merge the old account into the new account

Sorry, but it is not possible to merge two Apple IDs/iTunes Store accounts.

Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts

Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

Log in to icloud.com on a web browser and remove the device from "Find My iPhone"

Hi. I currently have two iPad's and two iPhones and one Apple ID, I want to keep the current Apple ID on one iPad and one phone and set up another Apple ID for the second iPad and iPhone, is this possible?

Hi. I currently have both my iPhone's and iPad's on one Apple ID and I was hoping to use one iPhone and one iPad with another Apple ID, does anyone know if this is possible and how I would do it.
Thanks TMM39

You should be able to. The only hiccup will be that any apps that you have purchased with the older ID you will have to repurchase with the newer ID to be able to keep using them.
Though of course this actually depends on how you plan to use the IDs. For example, I had an Apple ID through iTunes a few years before I opened a .Mac/MobileMe account (what iCloud is now in case you are new to Apple). Thus, my iPhone and iPad actually have two IDs on them, one for iTunes/App Store, and one for anything associated with iCloud. I've never really had any problems assoctiated with having two IDs on one device. Usually just an extra step when I get a new device or have to restore either of them for some reason. Though I understand that this is probably not what you plan on doing, I thought I would use it as an example of what the IDs are really associted with on the devices.

Hello, I have two iphones but one Apple ID. How can I use localization apps for a dedicated device? Tx

On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

2 iphones with one account

Forgive me, I know this question has been asked before but I can't find the info I need. I am going to get a 3g iphone when it comes out. But I may keep my current iphone. can two iphones be used on one account? thanks for your help.

You can have two iphones on one computer and you can choose entirely different items (playlists, songs, podcasts,etc) to sync with each iphone.
You can also have two iphones on one AT&T account, but you do have to pay for the unlimited data plan on each - if you want all the features (i.e. visual voicemail) to work on each iphone.
As far as itunes(mobile - iphone app), If you want to buy music from both iphones itunes application, I'm not sure how that would work, sorry. But if your not planning to use each phone to purchase music - no issue. Maybe someone knows about this issue.
Hope this helps.
