IPhone can't recognize my account

Hi.. Okay so both my father and I have iPhones.. But whenever I try to download free apps it asks for his password and it doesn't work when I fill it In. My phone doesn't recognize my account and I am on iCloud. I don't know what to do I have the same software as him and I just received another software update.. Please help?! It did work before I updated software .. It recognized my account.?!

I am having the same issue... I have an APPLE ID that is the SAME as my AOL ID.. I have been using my AOL ID all the time (the other one was made in error while back).
On the phone, when I put the ID in, it ONLY recognizes the APPLE ID (there is no check box to say WHAT you are trying to log into). even adding @aol.com at the end on the phone logon doesnt work...
So what happens is.. when I buy an app on the phone it will NOT sync with my itunes computer becuase that is logged in with the AOL name...
This wasnt thought out..
The phone needs to be updated to indicate somehow weather you are logging in with an APPLE or AOL name.. same as the itunes... I have my history on the AOl ID and want to keep it...
(I also have a [email protected] ID which is another mistake that I do not use.. but that has nothiung to do with this)

IPhone can't recognize .docx files create with Mac Word 2008

iPhone will not recognize .docx attachments created using Mac Word 2008. It will recognize .docx attachments created in Word 2007 (Windows).
Please advise?

This is easily reproducible. I have spoken to Technical Support at Apple. It has been escalated to the Development team. They are working on it. I expect to hear back from them in a couple of weeks.
I think that it is interesting to see few complaints about this problem posted anywhere. It speaks to the fact that the docx format is not adopted as widely as one would presume. We're going to have to stick to compatibility mode (i.e, doc not docx) until Apple fixes the issue.
Have a nice day.

ICloud on my iPhone can't edit my account

hi all,
did update my iphone 4 with iOs 5 today. bevore I had to update my iTunes on a pc as well.
while configure the new os after i updated the iPhone I entered the apple ID wrong. Wouldn't be a problem, but I created a new account with a wrong eMail adress.
In iTunes i could correct it, also the account on the iPohne. But my problem now is, that I can't edit the generated profile of the iCloud.
There is probably no way to edit the Apple-ID in the customizing screen of the iCloud.
Would use it very gadly.
I hope that some of you did understand my problem and could help me solving it.
Tanks out there

How can I use one account on 2 Iphones?

Hello,
I want to use same icloud account on 2 iphones. The problem is with contacts, each iphone use different contacts and if I sync both phones with same account contacts mixes and is added from phone 1 in phone 2 and vice versa.
It is an option to separate the contacts and get them to each phone separately?

If the person have 2 or many iPhones? Why does the person want to waste money?
One iPhone can do it all.
This is a very usual case if someone has a personal phone number and a business phone number. This is done for a number of reasons, including having a separate bill for the business number and so you can avoid taking calls on the business phone when you are technically "unavailable".
Besides the group idea, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having two separate iCloud accounts for one's personal and business use. Just as with the phone number, the email contacts, email account, calendar, etc. can all be kept separate.

Can I use iTunes Match for 2 iPhones with different music, same account?

My wife and I each have an iPhone and share an iTunes account. We share a master music library but each manually manage our music on our iPhones. So she has certain songs on her phone and I have different ones on mine, both coming from the same master library. I'm trying to figure out if I can use iTunes Match in this scenario. I don't want to see her songs on my iPhone. Is there a way to only see music on my iPhone if I use Match or am I stuck seeing my entire library on my iPhone?

I think I'm getting it finally, thanks for the clarification. So at least I know there is a way to not see all music in my library from my iPhone.
So in my case i have about 800 songs on my iPhone out of about 1600 on my iTunes library. If I'm understanding correctly I would have to enable Match on my iPhone, then turn off the "show all music" option. This in turn should leave me with my original 800 songs listed which I woud then have to download from the cloud. Once I have all of my 800 songs back down from the cloud I won't be required to download them again from that phone.
A worse scenario would be that I enable Match, and then have to find my 800 songs out of the total 1600 manually from the list and then download them from the cloud.
Which scenario is correct?

How can i add an already existing iphone to a different itunes account without changing anything on the actual phone...just updating it?

I have an iphone synced to my iTunes account. But I need to add another used/existing iphone to my account to update it. I do not want to sync my emails/contacts/apps, etc. from my computer/iTunes to this new iPhone. This 2nd iPhone already has existing apps and is in use.
Is there any way that I can do this without changing anything on the existing iPhone? All I need to do is update it to the iOS 5.0.1.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the response! You have been helpful and quick!
It wasn't my phone, hence the reason we didn't want to share/take each other's content (apps, contacts, music, photos, etc.). But the owner's phone hadn't been able to update because of a computer crash/no access to a stable computer. So, I just wasn't sure if we could do an update without sharing content.
But you most definitely answered my question! So, thank you!

thnk you

Sorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis.

You can use the same apple id for two separate phoones to share apps/music, however you would need a separate apple id for both phone for imessage/facetime/icloud.

Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?

its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?

You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
Unplug that device.
Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync.

I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!

You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?

My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same. Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account? Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?

You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.
