Husband synced his iphone with my itunes.

Husband synced his iphone with my itunes. Now his phone has my name on it. Can that be reset? Also, when I synced my iphone on itunes then it didn't recognize my phone so I restored from back up but it erased my photos on the phone. Can the photos be restored somehow???

Syncing an iphone should have no effect at all on the content of the computer.
Are you saying the the itunes library on the computer was effected?

No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

I used iPhone 4, but my brother gave his iPhone 4S away to me. I can't sync his iphone to my itune. It said 'preparing to sync' then stop working.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book). (25)
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
Contact syncing is nothing to do with iCloud back up, the only settings you should be concerned with on the device are at settings > iCloud page.

HT4623 how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
Connect the device.
Select the device.
Select Sync.
In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default. With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

I really don't know what this means.
What do you mean "when I try to change the email on my itunes"?
Where on itunes are you changing an e-mail? and for what reason?
Not sure at all what you are trying to do an it seems that you are confusing e-mail, itunes accoutns and libraries.
Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

All iTunes content on your iPhone will be removed first.
Unless you transfer photos from another computer when doing so, the photos transferred from the other computer will not be touched.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not part of and not touched with the iTunes sync process.

If sync my Iphone with an itunes library without all of my burned songs but with all of my purchases what will happen?

My old computer along with my only decent Itunes was lost with a bad hard drive. If i Sync my Iphone with a library only containing purchased songs will the songs burned from CD's or from other means transfer as well and can anyone recomend any Free Apple device transfer to computer? ( NOT PODSHARE and no Free Trials i have over 500 songs at least that need transferring)

The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
"can anyone recomend any Free Apple device transfer to computer?"
As far as I know, there are none.

How can I sync multiple iPhones with 1 iTune

Hi,
I would like to know how and limitation of syncing more than 1 iPhone with 1 iTune software in same computer.
Thanks.

The only difference I can think of adding is that if you want to use the 1 computer with multiple iPhones but want EACH iPhone to sync different information would be best if each iPhone user syncing had their own User Profile for the computer.
Other than that, basically yeah. No real limitation to the # of iOS Devices connected to 1 computer

Syncing an Iphone with multiple Itunes accounts

I recently traveled with my Iphone and when at my brother's place, I logged in to Itunes with my ID, purchased some tv shows for my daughter and was able to sync them to my phone. When I got home and synced with my own laptop, it told me it had to sync with my existing IPhone information and I would lose anything that wasn't in there. So I synced and the shows are now gone from my phone and my Itunes purchases. Isn't there a way to purchase where it downloads into Itunes store but it follows you b/c of the fact that you logged in to purchase it? I paid for those items so I feel like I should still be seeing them in my Itunes account here.
Did I just do something wrong? I have a Iphone G3.
Thanks!

For media content - music, videos and movies - and apps, you can only sync an iPhone to one iTunes library. There's no way around that. So that's why you had the issue when you connected the iPhone to your home computer again. Anything that is not in your home iTunes library will indeed be erased from the iPhone.
Further, if you purchase an item from the iTunes Store on another computer, then with the exception of apps, you get only one download per purchase. So if you buy anything other than an iPhone app on any other computer, it will be your responsibility to either make sure it transfers to your computer from the iPhone - you do not let the iPhone automatically sync when you connect it, then you use the "Transfer Purchases from iPod" command under the File menu in iTunes to copy the purchased content from your iPhone - or you copy it from the computer to your own via a flash drive, CD, etc.
Regards.

HT1495 If I have an IPHONE with my own Apple ID and my husband has his IPHONE with his Apple ID, can we sync them to the same ITUNES Library on the same PC??

Confused....

As long as you have iTunes logged in with your Apple ID, you can just plug your phone in and sync it, and all your music will appear as your Library (e.g. "Nolan's Music"). When your husband plugs his phone in, he'll probably have to log you out and login with his Apple ID, before he syncs his phone.
The problem is that Apple IDs are accounts. Your phone is linked to your account, and his phone is linked to his account. I don't think you can sync them both while logged in to one of those accounts. Have you sync'd your phones before? What happens when you plug them in?

Trouble with syncing my iphone with my itunes

I have the iphone 5 and when I started using it I used my brothers apple id because I wasn't sure what I was doing. Since then, I have figured out how to make my own accounts and I made my own apple id. I have tried to erase all of his accounts and apple id on my iphone and it says that it is deleted, but when I plug my iphone into my computer to sync it with itunes it is still listed as my brothers iphone as "Nick's iphone" how do I change that to my own? Also it is saying that the account is already synced with another itunes account and that you can only sync it with one account, but I tried to delete his apple id and I signed in to mine and it didn't change anything. I'm afraid if I choose to erase the other sync that it will erase my brother's music from his own iphone. Would that happen or can I select that option so that I can sync it to my own? Or, if not, how can I fix it?

Hello, katieokane1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a possible permission issue with the iTunes Media Folder. Follow the steps in the article below to make sure the permissions are set to read and write. You can also navigate to ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media and get info on to make sure permissions are set to read and write.

How do I sync my iphone with my itunes without deleting the music that I have on my iphone?

I just recently had my computer (windows) wiped because my hard drive crashed and I had to re- download itunes. When I try to sync my iphone to the new itunes I had to download, it keeps telling me my iphone doesnt recognize the new one I downloaded and it has to delete all the songs on my iphone to replace it with the itunes I just downloaded, which has no songs. Is there anyway I can just continue adding new songs onto my iphone without having to delete all the songs on it?!? help

If I sync my iPhone with another iTunes of the same Apple ID but none of the songs etc, will it wipe my phone?

Hi, my computer died before I could back up any of the songs, tv shows etc from iTunes. However, I do have iTunes from the same Apple ID on other computers, but the don't have anything on them. If I put a new album onto the iTunes on the other computer and then synced my phone with it, will it wipe everything and the only thing that would be left is the album? Or would the album just be added to everything already on there and my phone would not anything?

If you sync to another computer the iPhone will be erased and the content replaced with the selected content of the new computer.
You don't maintain a regular backup copy of your computer?
You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPhone to a computer from iTunes. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
