Iam using 2 different i phones on the same itunes account, Can I keep the contacts seperate with syncing?

I have one itunes account and am using 2 iphones, is it possible to keep all the "contacts" seperate from the two devices, so that I dont have to have all of my husbands contacts in the phone book?  Or do I have to use 2 different itune accounts?

Your contacts are not part of your iTunes library.  iTunes only syncs contacts with your phone from a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book.  If you are trying to sync you contacts to the same program they will be merged.  You could, however, set up two contact groups within Outlook, one for your contacts and one for his.  Both groups would still besynced to both devices but you wouldn't have to look at the contact group you weren't interested in.  Another option would be for one of you to continue to sync with iTunes with, for example, Outlook and the other sync contacts with another service such as Google or iCloud (be sure to uncheck Sync Contacts on the Info tab of the the iTunes sync settings for this 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.

    Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

  • Using the same iTunes account, can two iPads use different phone nubers for Factime?

    Using the same iTunes account and two different iPads, is it possible to associate each iPad to a different phone number?

    They must be iPhone numbers and only if you have two iPhones that are associated with the same Apple ID. If you don't have two iPhone numbers, you can use another email address one one of the iPads in order to use FaceTime and Messages on both devices that are both using the same Apple ID.

  • Is there a way to allow two users on the same itunes account to see their individual contacts and calendars

    I'm just looking for away to allow my wife and I to see our contacts, emails, and calendars on the macbook pro. We have a single itunes account, with two different iphones. How do we do this? Right now the computer only shows my wifes information.
    Thanks
    Josh

    Thanks GB,
    Ok, so I've gone ahead and setup another Apple ID for my Iphone so now we have two Apple IDs and two Icloud accounts. My Iphone is on my Apple ID, her Iphone, Ipad and Macbook Pro are on her ID.
    Could you give me some direction as to how to add my information to the Macbook Pro.
    - I'd like to be able to see my her and my calendars by clicking on the calendar icon dock.
    - Same with Email, can we see both emails by clicing on the email icon in the dock - I was able to do this on the Ipad but can't figure it out on the Macbook Pro
    - Contact would also be nice but I'm not sure its possible
    I know I could probably setup a second user on the computer, but that would mean logging in and out of user groups all the time which we don't really want to do.

  • 2 iPhone 4s on the same iTunes account, now we have mixed contacts

    I've been using my iPhone 4S for quite some time and my wife and I also have iPads (1 and 2). We have always synced the music, books and apps between each device. We finally just got her an iPhone 4S several months ago. So, we just downloaded the latest 6.1.1 IOS upgrade and I must have answered a prompt/question wrong in the set up...because now all of her contacts migrated into my phone and all mine went into hers. We both have a zillion contacts now and don't want them on each other's phone. Also, if someone texts me or texts her, we BOTH get the text message on both phones.
    I'm sure there's just a setting somewhere but I can't find it :-) Can someone help me out?
    Also, if we manually delete her contacts from my phone that I don't want, will they delete from her iPhone, too? Thanks!!!
    RMF

    Thanks for the help. Took a bit of time and I'll need her phone (when she's back) to get it all straight...I think! :-)

  • How do I sync different iPhones on the same iTunes account?

    I want to be able to sync two different iPhones on the same iTunes account. I want to be able to sync different music and movies. Can that be done?

    "is there anyplace I watch a tutorial for this?"
    Not really. And it's not that difficult at all.
    Plug it in, select it and select what you want to sync.
    " An APPLE rep told me to check Sync only checked songs and videos
    Manually manage music and videos"
    You can do it this way but it's a lot more work.
    (Apple reps are just people like you and me and don't always know everything)
    "And he told me to uncheck Sync Music in the music tab"
    I would not recommend this especially if syncing more than one device.
    Create a playlist (or multiple) for each device.
    Select the music tab and sync only the playlists you want. Then add/delete from these playlists to add/remove from the iPhone.

  • CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

    Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
    Thanks,
    trippj

    Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
    It worked for me

  • My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

    My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • I have a Verizon and At&t Iphone 4 can I use the same Itunes account for both phones?

    I have a Verizon Iphone 4 though my job.  I also have a At&t Iphone 4 for my personal phone.  Can I use the same Itunes account for both phone or will I need a separate account for Verizon Iphone?

    I dont live in US, live in Japan.. but I do have 2 iPhones, one 3GS and one 4. I use same iTunes Account on both.
    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

  • How am i able to use the same itunes account on a different ipod?

    How am I able to use the same iTunes account on a different iPod?

    By just using the same iTunes account.  If you set up the iPod on your computer just make sure that iTunes is signed your account.  Of settingup via wifi, just enter your existing account.  Do not create a new one.
