I have an Iphone and Itunes account already, can I set up my boyfriends new iphone on the same computer?

Please can you help - I have an i Tunes account and an iPhone, my boyfriend has just got an iPhone, but needs to set it up and create an account. Can we do this with one comuter between the two of us?

Does your boyfriend not have his own computer? Reason being, the iPhone syncs with ONE computer at a time. Thus, he he tries to sync with any other computer(after setting up on yours), ALL iTunes content will first be erased from his phone.
If he doesn't have his own computer, setup a separate computer login on your computer. Let him use that login & his own iTunes account. No chance your data will be intermingled, and if things don't work out, all you have to do is delete the account .

How to sync iPhone with iTunes for first time without setting up as a new iPhone

I have an iPhone 5 that I have never sync:ed with iTunes on my Mac, I have just set it up and purchased apps etc from the iPhone itself.
Now I would like to sync with iTunes for the first time with the iPhone but when I connect it, iTunes asks me if I want to setup the iPhone as a new iPhone (I assume form scratch) or from a backup from other iPhones that have been sync:ed with my Mac.
Now I dont want to setup this iPhone from scratch and erase everything thats on it, I just want to sync with my Mac, download apps, music etc. How do I do that and get beyoind the first screen that asks about setting up as a new iPhone ?

Hi I think I've found a workarround. I'm currently copying all files on my iPhone to the new PC using this program: http://www.getsharepod.com/download/
After all files are copied I think I can enable sync in the new iTunes and delete the iPhone, then add the copied files in new playlists.
I'll let you know.

By "me" do you mean a MobileMe account? If so, then you can't as MobileMe is going to be terminated at the end of June. What you should look at is an iCloud account.

Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
iCloud: Activation Lock

Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

Obviously that's your problem. As the message states, five is the maximum supported.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

how do I set up 2 different IPOD's on the same computer without all the songs and games from 1 copying to the other?

- Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
- Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

Iphones and itunes accounts International questions

I have a US itunes account. I also have a UK itunes account. My old iphone is connected to my US itunes account. My mobile me subscription is a US-based subscription.
I am going to be based in Egypt and have a new mobinil iphone. Do I need to set up another itunes account? It would be better if I could continue using my US itunes account and all the stuff that I've bought through it on my new Egyptian iphone.
Furthermore, with mobile me, I use the ical (as does the rest of my family). However I now also have a googlemail account for work and use google calendars. Is it going to be possible to sync all to the new iphone. Can anyone suggest resources that will tell me how to do this?
At home I'm on a MacBook Pro. At work on a PC.
Thanks for your suggestions.

The terms of use of the iTunes Store prohibit using it from outside of the country of the Store, and there is no iTunes Store in Egypt, only an App Store. So if you're going to be living in Egypt, then speaking from the standpoint of what's allowed (as opposed to what's technically possible, though indications are that Apple is taking technological steps to prevent access to a given country's iTunes Store from outside the country), you will not be able to use the iTunes Store - that is, you will not be able to purchase music, videos, etc. - in Egypt unless and until such time as Apple is able to open an iTunes Store there. But you will be able to continue to use content purchased from the US and UK iTunes Stores and will be able to sync that content to your new iPhone.
To get applications for your iPhone that you haven't already obtained, you will need to open a new account in the Egyptian App Store.
Regards.
