Iphone and my itunes account
Hi, I got my iphone 4 today and I had a guy in the shop transfer my contacts from my blackberry phone to the iphone but he did this under his itunes account. When in itunes on my computer it says "Pete's iphone" does anyone know how to solve this problem and change it/link it to my itunes account instead???
Jenny
Don't know how to link it to your account, but to change the name, when connected to iTunes, double click the iPhone in the left hand side, and it will let you rename it.

I have previously viewed movies and TV Shows on my IPHONE that I want to delete and free up space so that I can buy new movies/TV show to watch. How do I get them off my IPHONE and my ITUNES account?
Hey RR6705,
If you would like to delete previously purchased content off of your iPhone, you may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support

Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc. -
Two iPhones and two iTunes accounts on one computer
My wife and I both have identical iPhones and my wife wants to give her laptop to my son. I thought that I could manage her iPhone from the same computer that I manage my iPhone from but I am having issues. If I logout of iTunes and login with her ID, iTunes does a backup of her phone but iTunes displays my apps, not hers.
I've searched this forum and cannot find the answer although I am confident that we aren't the first to want to do this.Are you both using the same Windows login account or separate accounts? It sounds like you are trying to both use the same Windows login account as well as iTunes Library, which is probably where your problem lies.
I believe (but I haven't verified) that if you create a new iTunes Library for one of the two of you, you can each manage your own music & apps i your respective libraries. If you use separate Windows signon accounts, you can easily manage using different libraries, but it might be a bit more difficult using just one Windows account. All f this assumes you are using Windows since you don't clearly state, but similar could be applied to MacOS. -
My spouse and i both have iphones. I also have a mac and we both have seperate itunes accounts. My spouse wants to purchase an app on my laptop and then sync it to his phone. How do we do this? Also can the app that he purchase also be put onto my phone? How do we do that?
While it is a good idea to do iOS updates on the devices, if it is working alright, you can wait. It sounds as if there is an issue with the Internet connection on the computer you are trying to do the update from. It can time out, 3rd party security software on the computer can interfere with the update. There are any number of reasons. Depending on what type of computer you are using, you can check to make sure iTunes is up to date and then try again. If using security/anti-virus software, you can temporarily disable that and attempt the update again.

Two iPhones and one iTunes account`
Ok, my scenario. I have a single iTunes account on my Windows pc for both my wife and me. All of our music is on there. I had an iPhone and when I got the new iPhone4, I gave my wife my 3G iPhone. Here's what I want to do:
* Have iTunes treat both phones separately. Meaning different contacts, different apps and different music/photo playlists.
* Is this possible with a single iTunes account?
* Can my wife have different apps installed on her phone than I have on mine and still be able to sync?
* What about a different music playlist?
* For contacts, since we both have a master contact list on the PC, can you chose WHICH contacts from that master list to put on each phone? For instance, she doesn't need my employee's home phone numbers in her contacts on her phone.
I think the iTunes sync feature stinks...wish they gave you more manual control over what is happening on your phone.hi mate when you open itunes press shift button that will give you make new itunes all you have to do is click wich one you want

I have been toying with the idea of purchasing an iPad 2. Me and my wife both have separate iTunes accounts as we both have iPhones. I just wondered if it's possible to log into more than one iTunes account on one iPad, or if not would we have to set up a joint iTunes account?
What you could do is have one of you with the main iTunes account and use home sharing to get access to your wife's iTunes music, etc. my wife and I do this, but we each have our own iPads.

IPhone and multiple iTunes accounts
I have two iTunes accounts.... I've downloaded almost all music with one account and of course I used the OTHER when I activated my iPhone. So now I can't transfer all... or frankly any of my music to my phone. I can't seem to figure out how to change the account on my phone. I'm willing to re-purchase the songs that I've bought on my phone as there are only about 5... but I'd like access to all of my other music...
basically... how do i change the iTunes account that is used on my iPhone?
Thank you in advance!You don't have to repurchase your music -- if you log in to your one account and then simply drag and drop the music you've purchased in your other account into the library and play one (or more) of the songs it will "authorize" you for that music.

Iphone and current Itunes account
I have a itunes account that my 5 year old Ipod has used for the past few years. Just purchased my Iphone. When I try to sinc it or register it I get the message apple mobile devise service is not started. I am confused as the phone and the apps I am purchasing off of my phone are fine.
I went on line and did all the exercises they told me to try and I continue to get the same error message. Any advice?If you're on Windows XP, then go to Start > Run > type: services.msc > hit enter > find "Apple Mobile Device" > right click "Apple Mobile Device" > START (or RESTART)
If you're on Windows Vista/7, then go to Start > where it says "Start Search" type: services.msc > hit enter > find "Apple Mobile Device" > right click "Apple Mobile Device" > START (or RESTART)
If START is grayed out, then you'll need to uninstall/reinstall iTunes

Is everything Apple does ****? I can't sync anything all I want to do is get by iphone and ipad on the same page...but the syncing wants me to agree to delete everything...this is nuts...there is no help...is Apple's idea of help have the users be there help desk? there is no where to go and it is a joke!
And with that kind of attitude, it's unlikely that anyone here (and there are some extremely knowledgeable people here) will want to help.
If you really want help and aren't just here to rant, I suggest you start another thread in which you lay out the problem, including any error messages you may have received and any steps you may already have taken to solve the problem. Include details about any computer operating systems you may be using. And, do not include the attitude.
Best of luck. -
I already have an itunes account on my laptop but have been setup on a mac and have songs that have not been purchased from the itunes store, I cannot get the songs from my iPhone onto my itunes account on the mac. how can I do this?
You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. -

How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.
How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account. Each device has a different name. But every time I plug them into iTunes on my Pc all the apps get screwed up. apps disappear etc. I have "sync apps" selected without automatic updates. I'm thinking I should have this unselected, but that does make sense to me. Shouldn't I be able to have one iTunes account and manage each device independently. What settings to do I need to apply to itunes so that every time i plug the devices in they don't get all messed up? thanks in advance
Also, Iphone 4s is possible to rotate pictures without extra hassle of downloading software??You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be separated. What is going on here?
I noticed the same problem after upgrading a few iPhones to IOS 8, all use the same Apple ID. However, I now notice when I go into Message and instead of selecting a person from my contact list, I start typing their name which brings up a list of people, some of which are not in my contact list and are on one of the other iPhones. There's a circle/exclamation point next to the name which I click on, and one of the options is to "Remove from Recent". How did these names get from one phone to another and how do I remove all "recents"? They do not appear in my contact list. Anyone see this?

I have activated 2 iPhones using ONE iTunes account, but I would now like to remove one iPhone from the account and add it to a new iTunes account. This is so that I can back it up without cross syncing between purchases/apps on both iPhones.
Whats the best method for this?
I'm running Windows 7
Many thanksWhenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.
