You can backup more than one device on the same computer. iTunes will be able to tell the difference between the devices, but you need to watch the settings in iTunes to ensure that automatic sync is not turned on, an that all you do is backup or you could mess up more than just their contacts if you are syncing to the same computer.

Activating iPhone 5 to a different number on family plan

Here's my situation: I am in a family share plan with my dad, and both of our lines were eligible to upgrade. However, my dad's line had a $30 new-every-two credit so I used that to buy an iPhone 5. Both of us currently have feature phones without data plans.
How do I activate the iPhone to my number once it arrives?
I'm aware that you can do a device switch online after activating the phone to the line originally ordered on, but I'm concerned about the plans.
Is it possible for my dad to not have a data plan after switching the iPhone over to my number?
I would really appreciate it if someone could explain the activation process so that my dad keeps his old plan without data.
Thanks!

I am doing the same thing. My son is eligible for an upgrade but he's only 8 yrs old so I am giving him my phone (HTC Rezound) and buying the iphone 5 on his account.
DO NOT ACTIVATE the iphone on your dads telephone number. I did the same thing this morning with my son's account and all the Verizon reps said it would be simple to switch to my number once I activate it on his line but I am having a very hard time. Verizon rep told me that I need to switch the sim cards put a pin in the little hole on the right side of the iphone and the sim would pop out.... WRONG another VR told me that was for the4S not the 5, then another rep told me the sim cards come in 3 different sizes and the new iphone sim is a Micro Sim and doesnt fit the Rezound. So I called a Verizon Wireless store and they will not carry the sim card for a week or 2. Next VR told me to go to the Apple store and have the apple reps replace the sim card, next appointment is on Sunday at the Genius bar... URGH!!! the last rep told me there was a way where the set it up in the system where you do not have to first activiate the phone on the eligible account. They have a name for it but I cant remember now, something like borrow an upgrade, switch upgrades, etc

Why is one iphone receiving another iphones(different number, same account) messages?

iPhone A recieves a text message, and iphone B (which has a different number but on the same account) recieves the same message that was intended for iPhone A. However, when iPhone B recieves a text (intended for iPhone B) iPhone A will not recieve it. This only happend after the new update (IOS 6).

It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Everything should be on your computer. The iphone simply allows your computers info to be portable.

My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine. I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine. I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps. How do I get my iphone on the same page?

How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

Can I move my old iPhone 4 to another account in the same family plan

I currently have an iPhone 4 and a 3GS on the same family plan. I would like to upgrade to the 4s (with a new 2-yr contract) and replace my old 3GS with my old 4 (without re-upping for 2 more years for the privilege of swapping old phones). Is this possible?

Yes.
Stop by an ATT corporate store to request a new micro-SIM card for the iPhone 4 where the iPhone 4 can also be activated with the line/number that is currently using the 3GS. The 3GS will be deactivated automatically at that time.

How can you restore ALL your photos back into your iphone after changing your icloud plan to 20GB?!? It ruined my photos and videos, and I don't even know if I have them anymore!!!

Okay. I recently changed my icloud storage plan to 20GB, for $0.99 a month, to have more room in my phone. After that, I realized a lot of my videos were acting up and wouldn't play. I honestly don't know what I did, nor that I can remember, but I tried to play around a little with my phone to see if anything would work again. Then I ended up storing more than HALF of my photos and videos in my icloud storage, and now I can't seem to get them back into my regular iphone stream! I can't see ANY of the pictures/videos stored in icloud, but it tells me that I have 377 photos and 16 videos stored in icloud, and 2.2GB are used, and I could only see 33 photos, and 8 videos in my phone! I want to know how I could UNDO all this, and put EVERYTHING back in my iphone storage, and OFF of icloud! icloud confuses me a lot. I'll just stick with 5GB. HELPP PLEASE!!!
And also, I want to know WHYYYYY I have to keep downloading my videos before playing them!

That's fine.
It takes forever to shut down and to star up (compared to when it was new with snow leopard) .. Some programs are now running slow (iMovie, Photoshop) and very often it just doesn’t respond so i have to turn it off the hard way loosing what I was working on.
Have you tested in a fresh user account, or in Safe Mode ?
A clean install is rarely necessary, and may not even solve the problem. If you plan to do a clean install and migrate, you defeat the purpose of a clean install.
If you do a clean install you'll also need to replace your iLife apps from the disks that shipped with your Mac, they're on Disk 2.

HT4946 Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer. I deleted pictures from my iPhone and added then to the ipad, but now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?

Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer running Mountain Lion. Our desktop still runs Tiger, so I purchased the 3rd generation iPad with 64 gb thinking it had had plenty of room to backup my iPhone photos. I used a camera connection kit and transferred about 1100 old photos from my camera roll on my iPhone to my ipad. I then deleted pictures from my iPhone and now my camera roll has only 357 photos. However, in the Settings, under "About" it says I have 2147 photos. Why? I only have a total of 216 photos in all my albums. However, now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not? Any help, any advice, appreciated please! I spent a long time on the phone with Apple today and they couldn't solve the problem.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

HT4946 how do i unlock my iPhone when its locked in the itune plug in mode?

how do I unlock my iPhone when it is in the itune locked mode for updates, i powered out when i was updating

Unfortunately once the iPhone is in that mode the best practice is to just restore the whole iPhone via iTunes.
The iPhone is in recovery mode. So to get it out of recovery mode and restore through iTunes is all you got to do.
Hope this helps
