Multiple iPhone Issues
Hello,
I have been having multiple iPhone issues after updating my phone to iOS 6.1 and restoring it my phone number is grayed out on Facetime and iMessage in Settings and sometimes when I go to the app store the old app store design loads that was in iOS 5 and the search and updates and buttons below get reaaranged
It looks like that in messages and Facetime
NOTICE THAT THE EMAILS AND NUMBER ARED EDITED!
Please help me fix this issue
have you tried turning off imessage in settings and then turning it back on again to re-activate? have you tried resetting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone restarts?

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!!
Mr Mars,
You are welcome! I hope you have achieved the expected degree of "harmony."

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.

Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?
Hello forum users,
Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?
I would like to back up and restore 4 different iPhones, 1 iPad, a MacBook and 1 MacBook Pro using the same single iCloud account.
If so, how is this done?
Many thanksSharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account. -
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). -
Use multiple iPhones with 1 instance of iTunes?
Hi Guys,
Be gentle with me as this is my first post and I'm not sure if this is correct discussion board, anyhow...
I have been tasked by my bosses to do some research on the possibility of using iPhones as a business communication, email and document device to be used by the senior management of my firm.
Basically, what we need is to be able to "sync" calenders, receive email, share documentation and contacts all using one instance of iTunes. This is to enable us to keep their data uptodate and identical etc.
The users also have the option of using iTunes at home to do non business work i.e. upload music and videos.
I am aware of the apple configuration tool to create multiple but identical "profiles" that can be applied to each and every phone.
My questions are:
1. Can we use one iTunes account (billed to the company using one credit card?) that can used by several staff at home? Or do we need to create accounts for every user?
2. Is there any applications that can help us "sync" all phones either connected to our business version of iTunes or even "over the air"? Bearing in mind that if the user connects to iTunes at home it doesn't wipe important data!
3. Can anyone recommend applications that we can preload onto the phones that will assist the user becoming familiar with the functionality of the iPhone? This would help us as we wouldn't have to show each and every user how the iPhone works!
4. Lastly any advice on applications that would give us the ability to control and maintain all these instances of iPhones easily and without giving us a major headache?
Thank you for any advice.
MCYou should check into MobileMe. It's an Apple service that allows you to sync mail, contacts, and calendars over the air to your iPhone.
My wife and I both have iPhones and use MobileMe to keep them identical in terms of contacts and calendars.
You could use one iTunes account with multiple iPhones, however, you're not going to get over the air syncing.

Can multiple iPhones share the same iTunes account?
My daughter received her first iPhone. She activated it today using my iTunes account and all of my contacts were overwritten with her contacts. How can we fix this? My other daughter received hers today as well but she hasn't activated it yet. What can we do to prevent this from happening? Also, can multiple iPhones share one iTunes account?

Yes... But anything Purchased or Downloaded is Permanently Tied to that Apple ID (yours)

My family has multiple iPhones. Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?
If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

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).

Multiple Iphones sync with one computer
Can I set up two Iphones to syn with a PC Laptop? How?
Yes, multiple iPhones can sync with a single computer. I do not know the limit, probably harddrive space of the computer. Just open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, select iPhone in left column of iTunes, click Sync button of iTunes. When done, connect other iPhone and repeat steps. You can keep the iPhones information different and always separate or you can restore them from the same back-up and keep them similar.

Multiple Iphones with separate apps and one computer
I've researched this and can not find any help on either the apple site, internet and not really in here clearly.
We have multiple iphones each with their own apps and information and one computer. My husband doesn't want my apps installed on his iphone and I don't want his either.
How can we sync and update our phones using one computer and back them up without overwritting each phone with the others apps. Especially if a restore needs to be done, itunes holds one phones set of apps.Because the iPhone does not support disk mode as with most iPods, which is probably for security reasons which isn't a concern with an iPod.
I'm concerned what will happen when I get a new PC.
No reason to be concerned. You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC - the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder and with iTunes quit on the new PC, place the iTunes folder in the Music folder. You also need to authorize your new PC with your iTunes account with iTunes.
When getting a new computer, you transfer your iTunes library and content along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as photos, documents, etc. -
can I use multiple iPhones on the same iTunes account? e.g. my wife and I each have iPhones
Yes, you can have as many devices - iPhones, iPods, iPads - as you like using the same iTunes account.

Sync multiple iPhones with one iTunes
Can iTunes 8 on one system, sync and backup multiple iPhones?
TnxCan 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.
