I have 2 iphones, how do you sync them on computer

How do you sync 2 different Iphones on the same computer? I have a 5c and my husband has a 4, after i synced my phone and was going to do my hussbands since I deleted and set up new Icloud account for his phone it would keep everything seperate. Not as soon as I plugged his in computer it change where my phone was to his. Will this make my phone lose all it contents, pics, and apps if i go ahead and sync his phone?

no, syncing with itunes works one way, from the itunes to the devices. so whatever is on the itunes and selected to sync over is what will sync onto ur device.

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I have a new iphone5 - it is uploading to icloud. My iPhotos do not upload to the cloud. How do I sync them to my iPhone?

Hi edristiew,
It sounds like you are referring to Photo Stream, a service within iCloud. Photo Stream will only upload new photos to iCloud.

Of course, you can disable Photo Stream in Settings > iCloud. If you are looking to import your photos to your computer, see the following article:

The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
Good Luck

HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?

How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?
Hi, Does anyone know how to do this without the need for me to upgrade to Lion on my MAcBook Pro and use the iCloud?
I put all my contacts into my iPhone and I'd like them now on my MAcBook Pro.
Thanks,

Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.

I have an iphone 4 and i just purchased an ipad how do i sync them together

You can't sync them together. You can use iTunes as the conduit. Transfer the content for the phone into iTunes and then sync the iPad. You can restore the iPad from the phone backup as well as long as you are running the same or newer iOS on the iPad that you are running on the phone. If the iPad is running a lesser iOS, you will have to update it first.
Transfer purchases.

You can turn on Automatic Downloads for books, apps and songs on both devices to keep downloads in sync. Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Automatic Downloads.
This might come in handy for you too.

HT201269 Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

- The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
- What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro?
Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there. I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc... Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs. I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud. So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!). How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs?

I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?

How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
Thanks.

You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device

How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?

If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click: File>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.
