Multiple iPhone connecting to iTunes

Can't remember how to have multiple users use iTunes on one computer and not have their music sync!

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

    How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

    Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
    I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library.  The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
    we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you?

  • 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.

    Hello,
    this morning I received the following error message when the iPhone connected to iTunes: i
    tunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635) 
    any ideas? thx

    I get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).
    It also says something like (I'm translating): "Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active or try again later." Is there a way to find out these "correct networksettings"?
    I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes...

  • After iPhone connects to iTunes, can not find the photos tab for sync

    After iPhone connects to iTunes, can not find the photos tab for sync. Thus, I can not copy some phototes from my Macbook to iPhone, But my iTouch can do this. I don't know why.

    If you are using a mac, you use iphoto.
    If you are on windows, you use whatever camera software windows uses.
    Itunes does not import photos.

  • How can I sync multiple iPhones with 1 iTune

    Hi,
    I would like to know how and limitation of syncing more than 1 iPhone with 1 iTune software in same computer.
    Thanks.

    The only difference I can think of adding is that if you want to use the 1 computer with multiple iPhones but want EACH iPhone to sync different information would be best if each iPhone user syncing had their own User Profile for the computer.
    Other than that, basically yeah. No real limitation to the # of iOS Devices connected to 1 computer

  • Multiple iphones using one itunes account

    I'm fairly new to the itunes world and was wondering about the ability to sync multiple iphones to a single itunes account. I have the iphone 4s and have it synced with my itunes account...my boyfriend recently left the dark ages and is now using my old iphone 3gs, unfortunately he doesn't have a computer or access to the internet way out in tim-buck-two. We were curious as to whether or not he could use my computer with itunes already downloaded on here...of course he would have his own apple ID. Will he be able to have access to all my playlists and music so he can use my music as well? I sure would appreciate any help anyone can give me!

    This is great news as I've been struggling with this issue for some time. Mainly because my wife is a little old school and likes to put music on CD's and this solves that problem. Thanks again!!

  • Setting Up Multiple iPhones On One iTunes Account

    Our business supplies iPhones to our technicians out in the field and I've set each phone up under the same iTunes account.
    Can someone please help me out on the below things that I need to be able to manage?
    I need to be able to back up each iPhone to the work iTunes account on a regular basis, so that I can restore the data if needed. (Windows pc)Is this just a matter of plugging the phones in and setting up as a new iPhone and giving each one a individual name (tech 1, tech 2 etc)? I know it will mean that they'll loose all data and I'll have to set each one up again.
    I would like it if each of the phones can share any apps purchased (music is not used but some productivity apps have and will be purchased)
    I need to ensure that none of the phones share any user sensitive data (messages etc)
    I had a massive issue with all the phones recently - They were duplicating iMessages accross all the technicians phones.
    I've rectified this by disabling iMessages, but is there some way i can allow them to have iMessage without all the phones (which are on the same work iTunes account) duplicating messages or any other user sensitive data?
    Thanks in advance!

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers. I have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

  • Sync multiple iPhones with one iTunes

    Can iTunes 8 on one system, sync and backup multiple iPhones?
    Tnx

    Can you provide some details on how you set this up? I have been tinkering and currently have an account for me on our iMac and an account for my wife. My original thought was I needed to sync my iphone when I was logged on and she would need to sync hers when she was logged on. But I want to be able to buy songs, movies, etc on itunes once and be able to sync to one or both iphones. Also want to be able to have our own contacts but also share common ones. Also would like to be able to each have our own calendar, but share appointments/events that are common, so we only have to type them in once. Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? Is any of this documented in an iTunes/iPhone advanced user manual? Thanks for any help. best wishes.

    Hi
    The problem with using multiple javascript frameworks on on page is that each framework modifies how javascript works and this leads to incompatibility problems between the scripts. The simplest way to fix this is only to use one framework, alternatively check the documentation for the frameworks as there is often a snippet of code that one can use to stop the framework from modifying the browsers native javascript interpreter.
    You must include the snippet for each js framework.
