ITunes - syncing multiple iPhones and avoiding apps going on the wrong handsets!

Hi all,
I work for a small telco and i sync multiple iPhone handsets daily to my iTunes on my work PC, the problem i'm having is when the customer wants there applications transferred to their new handset, I have to sync the applications to my itunes and then put in the customer Apple ID password and transfer the purchases. Then what happens is the customers go to update their applications on there handsets and it comes up with another random apple id to update the app. How can i stop this from happening???
Please I need your Help!!!

My wife and I share almost everything...so when we purchase apps, we use the same Apple account. We have one account with AT&T with two phones. We also have one account at the apple store and charge everything to a specific credit card that has a very low monthly ceiling. This allows us to download the apps to our iphones from different computers. When I buy an app or download a free one, she logs in with our account and is eligible to download the app too. I think it is OK with Apple but have not read the fine print of the agreement.

I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes. iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums. Why? I have tried everything.

If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.
This is all covered in the User's Guide.

I am trying to sync my iphone and it has frozen with the itunes symbol on my phone?

I am trying to sync my iphone and it looks like it has crashed and the itunes symbol is frozen on my screen, I have tried to switch off my phone but it will not work, anyone help?

Your getting that error because one or more of the files you are trying to sync cannot be found. You need to make sure your iTunes library is in fact accessible. This error is common with folks that store their library or parts of their library on an external drive,

Print job gets to printer and vanishes or goes to the wrong tray

I have one 10.4.11 computer in an office full of 10.4.11 computers and the print jobs either go to the printer and default to tray #1 which is always empty forcing the user to go to the printer and manually redirect the print job to the right tray otherwise the printer waits for input and creates a backup of print jobs for all the other users in the office or the print job goes to the printer and the data light blinks a few times and just vanishes and nothing happens. This happens when printing from the local admin account and the network user account. There are many users in the office and no one else is having this issue, it came up when the HDD was replaced and the system was rebuilt, I used the same image for another rebuild a month earlier and didn't get this issue. printers were added using printer setup utility and bonjuer as always tried adding with the ip address as well. The printers are two HP laserjet 9050's and a color laserjet 5550. I have tried changing every print tray setting I can find, this happens in every app that I have tried as well(cs2 indesign, illustrator, textedit, word) I have tried the reset printing system option in the printer setup utility and have re added the printers any number of times. The wall is still in one pice and my head is getting really sore please help.

TS2326 iMessages across multiple iPhones / iPods appear to come from the wrong person

We have three different devices using iMessage - 2 iPhones and an iPod Touch. This issue is difficult to explain but from time to time when sending iMessage from one of these devices the sent message appears to come from the wrong sender. For example, my wife will send an iMessage to a friend but it appears the iMessage came from me.
We also use iTunes. All of the phones are signed into iTunes as the same user which is my username.
Could this be the problem and how do I fix it? Do I need each phone to have it's own iTunes account? If so, can I make it so purchases in the iTunes store are only made through my account?

You can continue to share the same iTunes account, but for iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Find My Phone, etc., each needs their own separate Apple ID's. So, whoever's iTunes account it is uses that ID(if a verifiable email addres) for iCloud, etc. The other person creates an Apple ID & uses that for iCloud, etc. You can create an Apple ID here:

Sync multiple iPhones and iPod Touch's to one PC

I am going to have one iPhone 4 32GB and two iPod Touch 8GB's with one PC. I read up on how to sync different playlists to each device. However, I am unclear on how to sync different Apps to each device. The iPods I will have are much smaller capacities, so I know I won't be able to have all of my apps + music on them. How to you limit which Apps go to a Sync'd device?

Basically the same way you sync different playlists, by checkmarking what you want to go onto the device, but you do it through the Apps tab.
Regards.

Failed iTunes sync requires restore, and lost apps

On Sunday, 24 January 2010, I sync'ed my iPhone, however the next time I used the phone itself. At the end of the sync, I received an error message that stated that some apps may not have sync'ed properly, but the phone appeared otherwise functional.
I found that I had some difficulty in running any music apps, including the iPod app itself. I attempted to re-sync the phone on 25 January 2010, and received an error message stating that I needed to restore the iPhone to its original settings.
I had downloaded at least three apps directly into my phone (outside of iTunes), which disappeared from my phone following the restore (and apparently had not been re-added to the phone following the restore. One of these apps -- Low Grav Racer -- is a paid app and I would like to be able to download it without having to pay for it again.
Does anyone know how I can re-download the app without having to re-purchase it?

HI,
Tap the Settings icon on your iPhone.
Then tap General, then scroll down and tap Reset. Tap: Reset All Settings
Now connect your iPhone to your computer and try restoring your Applications.

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
it said this
Faulting application name: iTunes.exe, version: 11.0.2.26, time stamp: 0x51253247

basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

Multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library

I have a question about multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library.
Currently I have 3 PC's, 2 iPods and 2 iPhones.
My PC had the iTunes library on it and everyone was just listening to mine via the iTunes sharing.
Well I bought a Buffalo LinkStation and told itunes to move my library to M:\My Music\..... and then did a Consolidate Library which in turn moved all the music from my C: drive to the M: drive.
My wife's computer has it's own Library with no music (only app store apps, and ringtones).
Now my question is what happens if I tell my wifes computer that M:\My Music\....... is her new location of the library and restart itunes. I am pretty sure this will work fine. But what happens if she syncs her iPhone now? Will all my apps now be on her phone and she will lose hers? She does have her own itunes store account with her own apps. Is there a way to have it so only her apps are on her phone and my apps are on my phone? Can she choose different playlists to be synced than what I have?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brad

Since the three of you are using separate iTunes accounts, then you each need to run your own itunes, which should be logged into the itunes store using each individual account. For that, on a laptop, you each need to have your own computer accounts.

Syncing multiple iPhones with 1 iTunes account questions.

Hello community. Just had a few questions about my iphone and my wifes. I have had an iphone for almost a year now and have had my login email address and password set up since the beginning. I have the iphone 4. My wife today received her iphone 4s in the mail. I also currently have my iphone set up on the cloud to sync my contacts and calendar. We also have an ipad 2 which is set up through the cloud and I am the only person who uses this for work purposes. One of the main questions I have is how can I sync her iphone and mine using the same iTunes account on our Mac book we have and at the same time not have every purchase or app downloaded onto both phones? I use a few apps for work which she doesn't want but if she was to sync with the cloud or itunes she doesn't want to constantly delete the app or un-select it from syncing to her phone. Also we do enjoy playing some of the same games especially against each other but is ther a way for her to have her own seperate login for either downloading apps or a different login for getting into the game center? Also since we share the same wi-fi network at home is there a way to make it so that when I get home or she gets home and had downloaded apps while away that they don't automatically get sent to each other's phones or the iPad which I use for work? Sorry if I'm a little bit of everywhere with the questions but just trying to get this resolved the best we can. Thank you for all your help!

" how can I sync her iphone and mine using the same iTunes account on our Mac book we have and at the same time not have every purchase or app downloaded onto both phones"
Each device will only sync what you select to sync. If your wife does not want an app, then she should not select it to sync.
" Also since we share the same wi-fi network at home is there a way to make it so that when I get home or she gets home and had downloaded apps while away that they don't automatically get sent to each other's phones or the iPad which I use for work?
Again, if she does not select them to sync, then they will not sync.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).
