Issue syncing multiple iPhones on one computer.

Hello all,
I don't get any errors or anything like that.
My issue is that iTunes keeps putting the wrong contact and email information on the wrong phone. Well, it keeps trying to put ALL contacts and email accounts on both phones.
I have one phone set up to only sync with Outlook Express and the Windows Address Book. That phone also is only set to sync the one and only email account in Outlook Express.
The other phone is set to sync with Outlook and the Outlook Calendar and contacts. It is also set to only sync with the two email accounts for Outlook.
I have verified that the settings show correctly for both phones in iTunes, yet when I sync a phone it puts all contacts and all email accounts onto that phone. This is rather annoying as I don't want or need the info from my wife's phone and she doesn't want or need the info from mine...lol.
The phones are 3 days old now, and I installed the latest version of iTunes the day I bought the phones. All available updates were applied to both phones before any information was set up in iTunes as far as syncing goes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it talks about iPods but the same applies to iPhones. most users employ *method two*.

  • Syncing multiple iphones to one computer

    my wife and i both have i phones but only one computer and itunes account. whenever i try to sync her phone it always thinks it is my phone. anyway to set for multiple users or other solutions?

    ...meaning that it shows your name on the left? Try changing the name of one of them, take off the dock, and the insert the other. It may have just named it the same in the setup.

  • Syncing Multiple iPhones to one computer question

    Hello,
    I am an iPhone owner, and I have always used my PC to sync the phone with iTunes. A friend of mine also owns an iPhone, however he doesn't have access to a computer with iTunes and was hoping to use mine. He's made several purchases between apps and music with the phone, and we want to sync some of his music from the iTunes library on my PC without causing him to lose the stuff already stored on his device. Is it possible to do this? When we tried before it looked like it was going to delete his purchases from the phone since they were not purchased with my account, which is the one I sign in to in my iTunes.
    Thanks in advance.

    Itunes content ( apps/music/pics/etc) can be synced with only one computer.
    If you sync to a different one, it will erase the itunes content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • Multiple iphones on one computer.........is it possible?

    this may be a silly question but its one im having trouble finding any kind of answer for anywhere on the apple websites!
    i have an iphone 3gs and my other half is also going to be getting one pretty soon, but the dilema is that we will be using it on the same computer, will we be able to do this? i know you cant use your iphone between other computers but dont know what the precedence is for multiples!
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    Yes, you can sync multiple phones to one computer. If the phones are to have different content (e.g., calendar and contacts) the easiest way to do this is to have separate logins for each user on the computer.

  • HT1386 Synching multiple iPhones on one computer

    How do I synch multiple iphones on one computer. Last time I tried, I wiped out the contacts on one of the phones, so I want to be sure not to do this again. I don't want to wipe out any data on either of the phones (contacts, music, etc). I also am not sure what iphone I have, I've looked in settings and can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

    I understand that. What is the purpose of synching then?  Maybe I should have said I want to share music between the devices, but that is all. And I don't want to wipe out any of the music on one of the phones, which is what happened last time I tried to synch.

  • Syncing multiple iPones with one computer

    What is the easiest way to sync 11 iphones with one computer? At work im in charge of 11 iPhones and need to manage them from one computer. Each user has there own apple ID and different apps so on and so forth. I would like to be able to update all the phones without getting all there stuff mixed up or losing there data.

    Well, you're gonna have to log into each user's account in itunes, then sync their phone, log out, log the next user in, sync, etc.
    Make sure you DO NOT SYNC CONTACTS, CALENDARS or stuff like that or you will screw things up!

  • Computer crashed how to sync TWO iphones on one computer?

    Any help is appreciated. My PC that I sync my iphone on has crashed and I tried to sync my iphone on my wifes laptop, but she has an iphone as well. I can log into iTunes, but cannot see any of my podcasts, applications or information.
    Is there any way to sync two iphones on one computer?

    The easiest least complicated way to keep your info and her info seperate and not worry about things is to take advantage of user profiles on your computer (in XP)...so each of you log into XP with your own accounts, thus iTunes (and any other software like mail, etc) all have your own settings.
    Otherwise, you will have to watch which account is logged into iTunes Store (click store and see what name is up top right in case you both have different accounts)...and make sure you are logged in with the right account before syncing. iTunes does know the difference between your phones so each can setup different settings of what to sync to, but your library on your computer will be mixed unless you do what I said first, use different profiles (user logins) for XP.

  • Why can I only sync my iPhone on one computer???

    I was just wondering why I can only sync music onto my iPhone from one computer?? and not multiple like you can with the iPods?? I'm getting really frustrated because i have music on my home computer and 2 other laptops!

    I am unsure on how I interpret the rule wrong, but here is a copy of the actual rule which I made a link to in my previous post.
    Found under, http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/au/terms.html#SERVICE, 10. Purchase or Rental of iTunes Content, Usage Rule (iii).
    "(iii) Your license of Products as authorised hereunder permits you to use the Products on five iTunes-authorised devices at any time, except in the case of Movie Rentals, as described below."
    Also under, http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/au/terms.html#APPS, 9. USE OF PRODUCTS AND THE SERVICE, Usage rule (iii).
    "(iii) You shall be able to store Products on five iTunes-authorized devices at any time."
    When I read this, I understand it that the word Products refers to content on iTunes. But it could possibly interpreted differently.

  • How do I backup/restore multiple IPhone on one computer

    Hi everyone
    Need some help here. I work as a helpdesk and recently most of the IPhones are now due for upgrade. What is the best way to backup the data from old Iphone and restore to new Iphone for multiple users on one computer?  Basically everyone expects to hand me their old phone and new phone, and when they get the new phone back, the new phone will have the same data as it was on the old one. 
    I have done backup/restore just for myself before. Is there a easier way to do for multiple users on the same computer?
    Any input will be appreciated
    Thanks
    Charlie

    First of all, thanks for quick reply.
    How about backup to icloud and then restore from icloud?  I did not bring it up because I do not want the backup/restore to cripple to network.
    I would normally ask the users to take their old phone and new phone to AT&T store or Apple store to get it done. But as I work in corp office, and all I dealt with are the CEO, CFO, etc. They want the upgrade process done and without them getting involved (I try to keep it that way to make them happy).
    any thoughts?

  • Can you sync multiple iphones to one itunes account

    Yes each phone will have its own syncronisation so you can set what goes onto those phones independently of each other

  • Syncing two iphones with one computer

    A co-worker and I share a secretary. We'd like to be able to sync our individual calendars (in Outlook '03) on our secretary's PC.
    Is this possible?

    UPDATE:
    Well I thought I figured it out when I realized iTunes gives you the option of syncing only selected calendars. My plan was to check only my calendar to sync with my phone and Gary's calendar to syn with his phone.
    Unfortunately, the option to sync only selected calendars is grayed out in iTunes. I can only check the "sync all calendars" box.
    Surely others have figured out how to sync two phones with one computer and only have the data you specify synced to the specific phone.
    Do I have to create another Windows user account where only Gary's calendar is maintained and then switch back and forth between user accounts whenever syncing?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Using multiple Iphones on one computer

    My family has multiple Iphones and I was wondering if there is a way to have three seperate accounts on one computer? I don't want my apps or music to be synced on my son's or wife's phone. How do I do this? Help!

    Create separate computer logins for each person. That way, everyone has their own itunes library/account, contacts, calendars, etc. Doing it that way also means there is no chance data will be intermingled. If you want, you can also share apps/music between accounts(permitted by the EUSLA with family members).
