ITunes with multiple iPhones

Does anyone know if it's possible to have multiple iPhones set up on a single iTunes account? If so, how do you do this? I already have an iTunes account but will have a second iPhone in the household... want to be able to share/sync music library, apps, purchased music, movies, etc. Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My question is a  bit different. I have not yet been able to wean my wife off her dying Dell. While she has iTunes on it sync fails so she has not backed up her 3GS phone in ages. She has different music, pictures, and apps than I do, and we do not want to share these. So I want to sync her phone (and iPad as well) to my Macbook Pro, but keeping things separate.The responses and Apple material regarding syncing multiple phones to a single Mac talk about shared music and media libraries and do not seem to talk about apps.
I'm afraid if I try to sync her devices to my iTunes it will wipe out her apps and media. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
Thanks

  • Single iTunes with Multiple iPhones

    I have three iPhones.
    iPhone 3G 16GB, iPhone 4 16GB and iPhone 4 32GB
    I am having a problem syncing apps. I have different apps on each device, i sync the apps by using manual selection rather than automatic. The problem occurs when i buy new apps. Say i buy a app on one phone then sync itunes, it will sync back to itunes as you would expect. When i plug the next phone the app is automatically selected and synced, which I then have to be manually removed which can be tiresome if i have bought a few apps.

    Is there anyway to prevent this happening

    That's the way it works. Any new content will be automatically selected to be synced the next time you sync any device. As you've discovered, you have to manually deselect it in order to prevent it being synced the next time you do sync.
    You can suggest that Apple add the ability to set up iTunes preferences to do what you want here:

  • ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

    iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
    I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

    I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

  • With multiple iPhones and iPad, how do you keep from downloading data from one device to another? ie, my calander ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
    If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • Is there a way that I can control iTunes with the iPhone without any internet connections?

    First let me say that I am ready to throw this POS in the lake.  Is there a way that I can control iTunes with my iPhone without any internet connections?  On my houseboat I have a wifi router and want to connect my phone to my computer to control my music which plays from my computer through my stereo.  I can easily do it with my laptop without having to jump through any internet APPLE BS , but I dont want to have my laptop out on the deck. I just want to use the phone as a remote control.
    Remote wont do it because it keeps saying Im not connected to the internet, even though is is connected to my computer.  Same problem with JumiAmp.

    It should have an option to manage iTunes library without network connection, like Bluetooth or connect directly to the computer without a router or wi-fi, i live outsite of the city and i dont have the ability to control my iTunes librry from the iphone

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • Using a single itunes library with multiple iphones?

    My wife got an iPhone 3GS recently and I already have a 4S. I plan to use an existing iTunes install on a single PC to manage them both. I see that Apple support articles say it's worth keeping iTunes libaries separate (with separate Windows user accounts) when there are multiple iPhones using iTunes on one PC.
    I like to manually manage music, videos and podcasts in my iTunes library rather than use synching. I like the idea of having a shared pool of music, videos and apps for us both to use. I know apps that are purchased on my iPhone or my wife's are linked to a specific apple ID so that means if she transfers any apps that were bought on my phone originally, her phone will ask her for my apple ID password when they get updates. But sharing passwords with eachother isn't a problem.
    I can create a second user account for my wife easily, but I kind of have the feeling I'd prefer to share a single library as I say.
    Are there any other reasons I need to keep 2 user accounts and 2 iTunes libraries going when I manually manage the transfer of content?
    Cheers.

    Adn this can easily be done.
    Move your /Music/iTunes/ folder to a Shared directory (such as /Users/Public/ folder) and everyone can use this single library.
    Each user must quit iTunes before the other can open it.
    Just hold Shift, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder in the shared directory.
    The big advantage with separate Windows user accounts, data such as photos, calendars, emails, and everything else will be separate.

  • 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.

  • Data update via iTunes with 2 iphone.

    Hi there,
    I would like to ask if there is 2 iphone available with only one PC in the house available for doing updates using itunes, does that means it's impossible to have difference data in both phone? as it's 2 difference person owning an iphone they can't be having all the same data in their phone, like music, photos etc..
    I would like to know how can I solve this problem, can it be done if using 2 difference user acct in the same PC?
    I hope someone can help, I'm sorry if my question sounds dumb as I'm not very knowledgeable in IT stuffs.
    Thanks u so much.

    Yes, you can sync multiple iPhones to the same computer. You can:
    1) Sync to the same user account, selecting different playlists, etc., to sync - if using Outlook, this can become a problem to select different contacts/calendars for each device
    2) Sync to two different user accounts on the same computer. In that case, it's best to share the iTunes music library across those user accounts, as described here:
