HT4191 SYNCING TWO DIFFERENT IPHONES TO ITUNES WITH TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF CONTACTS !! DO I NEED TO HAVE TWO SEAPARATE CONTACT FOLDERS ON MY PC BEFORE I SYNC EACH IPHONE?
Can anyone help me with this? Two separate iphones need backing up to itunes which is fine for music photos etc apart from the contacts as we dont want the contacts to get mixed up off both phones on the same contacts folder.
Hello, gref1975
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The best option would be to create separate user account on the computer that you separately use to sync with. This keeps contact and calendar data from being merged together. You can however still sync or share media with each user by following the steps in the second article below.
Create multiple user accounts
Do you share your computer with someone who has different tastes in music and media? You can create separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. You can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and customize each devices' sync settings accordingly.
Mac OS X users
Learn how to set up other user accounts.
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
OS X Lion v10.7
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard
Windows users
Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up other user accounts. To find this information:
Click the Start Menu and click Help or Help and Support.
Enter "new user" in the Search field.
Press Return.
If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same media to be available in iTunes for all users, you can share music between different accounts on a single computer.

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I have CS2 with the discs and serial number. After needing to have my computer wiped, reloading the discs, and imputing the serial number, neither phone activation or on-line activation works. What do I do? Lanny
Adobe took down the CS and CS2 activation servers, but they put up a version of CS2 for those who previously had a license to it.
You will need to download the software from here, and use the serial number given on these pages. Follow the directions on this link, and you will soon be up and running again.

Can I add my digital copy movie to my iTunes with out using the disk, my gateway laptop/netbook does not have a disk drive I have the unused code and everything, I just can't stuck the movie into the computer itself and my desktop computer has no internet on it. Is there a way to add my movie to my iPod touch 2nd generation tuning 4.2.1
Hiya!
It depends on what kind of digital copy you have. This article goes ino details regarding the two types, and depending on the type you have, you may or may not need the DVD to redeem the code.

ITunes with files on a server, but after reboot, all files have "!" by them
I have a MacBook Pro with iTunes that has "stuff" on it from my networked home server, and when I reboot it, all of the music, movies and TV shows ave the "!" next to them. Then, I have to delete all of the music, movies and TV shows, and reload them (add to library).
I have a PC laptop with iTunes on it, and to my knowledge, all of the preferences are setup the same way and this issue never happens. Any ideas why the Mac version has this problem, or what setting(s) I need to change?
Thanks!
ToddThe external drive has to be on and mounted before starting iTunes or iTunes will create an empty library on the MBP. See the "additional information" at the end of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Go to -> System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items and add your server to the list.
Alternatively, always open iTunes with the option key held down and you will get a dialog box asking you to choose a library. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589 -
My wife and I recently purchased 2 new iphone 4's. I have an itunes account with tones of songs. How do I sync the phones with my itunes account? Since there are 2 phones, do we need to open a second itunes account? If so, is there anyway to transfer music from one account to another?
You can both share the same iTunes account for iTunes content, but you need separate Apple ID's to use iCloud, iMessage, FindMyPhone & FaceTime. The Apple ID's for iCloud, etc. MUST be verifiable email addresses. If you don't setup separate Apple ID's for this suff, you'll have a mess on your hands. Here's Apple's support document on using multiple devices on one computer:

Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's.
Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's. My Phone will show up in iTunes, my wife's wont. After plugging my wife's phone into my Win 8.1 pc and check Sync over wifi, I hit the eject button, could this be the reason? Or might it be the different Apple-ID's? If the answer is the first, is there any way tohave iTunes forgetmy wife's phone so I can addit from scratch?
Ello,
I know this, but thats in the past now sadly. The question is: Why wont my wife's iPhone show up in iTunes via wifi?
Is it because I pushed the eject button? And if so, is there any way I can make iTunes forget my wife's iPhone and *** it from scratch again?
Or is it because the phones uses different Apple-ID's? -

I have one itunes account and am using 2 iphones, is it possible to keep all the "contacts" seperate from the two devices, so that I dont have to have all of my husbands contacts in the phone book? Or do I have to use 2 different itune accounts?
Your contacts are not part of your iTunes library. iTunes only syncs contacts with your phone from a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book. If you are trying to sync you contacts to the same program they will be merged. You could, however, set up two contact groups within Outlook, one for your contacts and one for his. Both groups would still besynced to both devices but you wouldn't have to look at the contact group you weren't interested in. Another option would be for one of you to continue to sync with iTunes with, for example, Outlook and the other sync contacts with another service such as Google or iCloud (be sure to uncheck Sync Contacts on the Info tab of the the iTunes sync settings for this phone).

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?
You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.
