I have 2 iPhones using the same itunes on one computer, how do I sync each

I have 2 iPhones using the same itunes on one computer, how do I sync each one separately and how do I sync my outlook contact separately.... please help

I tried that and it says "The information on the iPhone "Michael's iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
"Merge Info merges the information on this Iphone with the information fro this user account.
"Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account."
I am not sure which user they are talking about. Is it my phone (the one that is hooked up) or the other phone?

    Any iPhone that lists the same email will receive the same texts. This has to be changed in order to stop receiving on all devices.

  • My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones.  How can I set up a separate account for her?

    My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine.  How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

    If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases.  If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

  • HT2731 My brother & I have been using the same iTunes account. We now want to have separate accounts. Can we still keep the apps we have on our own devices?

    My brother and I have been using the same iTunes account. We now want to have our own separate accounts.Can we still keep the apps we have on our own devices?

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. it will work. I am using it through this

  • HT201209 Can two iphones use the same itune gift card?

    My husband and I are new to iphones, and would like to purchase one itunes gift card and both use it on our iphones.  I have an apple id set up, he does not yet have one.  Can we share an itunes account if we have different apple id's? 

    Related question... I have read mixed reviews on whether or not families with multiple apple products should have a single or many apple ids.  This site is interesting... http://gigaom.com/apple/how-many-apple-ids-should-your-family-have/comment-page- 2/
    Is there a general consensus on this issue?  Since my husband has not yet set up an apple id, this is the time we need to decide.
    Thanks so much!

  • Can two iphone 4s be linked to the same itunes on one computer?

    Me and My boyfriend both bought new iPhone 4s (this is my first iphone ever) ... We share a lap top and he travels frequently for business. We are both synced to the itunes from our lap top, so whenever i try to sync music from my sisters or mothers laptop it erases almost everything i purchased. How do I get that back and prevent that from happening? I would like to be able to use the itunes on my laptop and my moms! Please help.

    iTunes is designed to only sync to a single computer and iTunes library. If you try and sync to another, as you have, you find it will delete all content from the phone and try and sync to the new library. You will need to decide which computer you want to sync to and use that one.

    You might have a little "problem" if your payment were by Credit Card, everytime you try to buy something (I mean, try to download something on your iphone, not from your computer) , your going to need to verify your payment... but if u use iTunes Gift Card, you wont have any problem with that

  • Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

    Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

    you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.
