How can I manage multiple iphones on one itunes account? I am trying to sync my daughters phone whom has different applications than mine - but my itunes account won't cooperate. Cant find any info on this. Wanted to download the new iOS 5 but need to update itunes first.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to sync, sync, dicsonnect iphone.
Connect other iphone, select what you want to sync, sync.
and so on.

Photostream not working - two iphones, one itunes account, two icloud accounts

Hello,
My wife and I both have iphones (both 4s). I have had mine for some time and she got hers last week.
We have one itunes account. We have two icloud accounts.
We cannot get shared photostreams to - my phone will not receive invites from hers. It works the other way round though.
All the settings are correct and switched on.
Please don't send me to the FAQ page as I have tried everything on there to no avail
Thanks
Matt

The quickest and easiest thing to do is take the desired iPhone and connect it to the desired iTunes account. This most likely will erase and data on the iPhone and replace it with the data from the itunes account it is connected to.

How to manage 2 iPhones one iTunes account and a shared iPad on iCloud?

My wife and I both have iPhones with separate contact lists but share the same iTunes account. To complicate matters further we also have a shared 'Family iPad'. I have updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 5 and iCloud. I am unsure what will happen when I update her phone to iOS 5 and iCloud? Will it replace one of our contact list with the others or will it merge the lists resulting in lots of duplicates on both our contact lists? To be honest I'm happy to share calendars, photos, music etc.. But don't want to wipe one of our contact lists. Any advice on how I can manage this going forward so we can both use our iPhones but share the iPad?

I updated iOS 5 to my own phone and my iPad. When I updated it on my wife's phone I made sure I selected for it not to sync contacts, calendars etc... With iCloud when asked during install. once it was installed on my wife's phone I then went into settings and turned on the each thing individually that we wanted to share ie it's useful when she adds a calendar date that it appears on all our devices. However, I left off syncing her contacts with iCloud so we retain separate contacts. Problem is that with you iMessage with people from the iPad it goes to both her phone and mine? Think it may be time for a genius appointment.

Multiple devices one itunes account - need help!

We have one computer, 2 iphones & one ipad, all on the same itunes account and now I can't update my iphone because all of my husbands crap is on my phone and there's not enough storage even after purchasing more storage.
how can I set up my iphone on just MY account? I don't want all of his apps & stuff on my phone, and now I can't update my phone, buy apps I want, ect...storage is FULL, but only on my phone. His is fine....of course.
Thanks for any help.

I have ipod touch, When you register the ipod Touch give it a unique name. I have also connected all three at same time unless there is an issue I have missed I have had no problem. YOu can also set an option so that when you connect the device itunes will not start and then you can manually start it and choose the device you want to upgrade..etc.

Two iphones, one iTunes account, two icloud accounts

Hi,
I have two iPhones, one privat, one from my company.
I would like ...
... to have all music, apps, books bought via iTunes to be on both iPhones - use same Apple ID for iTunes account?
... seperate calender, contacts, todos - use different Apple IDs for iCloud?
Is there still a way to have all pictures taken in one common photo stream?

I have the same question. My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate? I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options. How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account? Please help

Business with multiple iPhones different iTunes account users

Hello, My office has a difficult situation and I'm hoping you can help.ANY advice or pointers are appreciated. Here's the situation:
We are a small sales office with about 5 employees. My franchise owners have supplied iPhones to each rep. We recently had 2 reps quit. They gave back their iPhones but we can't get the contacts off of them since they are registered to those reps' personal iTunes accounts. I need a new iPhone but they're waiting to get me one until they get the following situation figured out to prevent this problem in the future...
How do we get the contacts off of the iPhones and into one central iTunes account?
If we need the usernames and passwords (like I suspect) then will we be able to grab the contacts and copy them to one central computer? Then they can change their passwords and have that computer deauthorized?
Is there a special way we should set up a new iPhone to prevent this frombeing an issue again?
Anything else we should be aware of?
This is a big issue and I'm hoping to get your feedback! Thank you!

Add an exchange account (I'm not sure what other accounts would work, I've done it with Exchange/Outlook) to the phone you want to get the contacts from. After the account is added go into Settings>Mails,Contacts, Calendars and scroll down to the bottom and select Import Sim Contacts. You can then import these into the email account

Multiple devices one itunes account

Hi,
I have an itunes account for my iphone and ipad, now my kids have just got ipod touches for Christmas which i have added as new devices to my itunes account. When my daughter sends an imessage it appears on all the devices linked to my account, including granny's new iphone! How can I stop this, do I have to have separate email accounts for them, as they also want to facetime, help please!

I have ipod touch, When you register the ipod Touch give it a unique name. I have also connected all three at same time unless there is an issue I have missed I have had no problem.

2 iPhones, one iTunes account

Sad to say this topic confuses the AT&T people as well as the Apple. Is anyone running two iPhones from one account.
EX. husband and wife both have iPhones with one home computer!!! Any help would be great!

That statement ("it can't be done") is not true at all, and I hate that you received bad info like that. I don't know if you already have an iPhone or not, but each iPhone is recognized separately by iTunes. You can set different settings for each iPhone and tell iTunes what to or not to sync when each iPhone is connected. (The syncing options work just like they do for iPods through iTunes). For instance, I had AT&T transfer all of the contacts from my old phone and my wife's old phone to a USB drive and then imported both sets of contacts (per AT&T's instructions) into Outlook. I set up a folder for her contacts and then a separate folder for my contacts. My iPhone is set to sync my contact folder only, so when I connect my iPhone, only my contacts are synced. Likewise, my wife's iPhone only syncs from her contact list. The same thing can be done with Music, Calendar, Photos, etc. Both of our iPhones have completely different media on them, but they are both synced from the same home computer. Hope this helps!

HELP! Two iPhones, One iTunes Account...

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law both have iPhones and they share an account. He just called me to sign in and find his iPhone because he can't find it and it pulls up his wife's. I knew this would happen if they share an account, but is there any way to retrieve the location of HIS phone?

It doesn't matter that they have the same iTunes username and password. Like I said earlier, we do that here and it will show all phones. You said in the earlier post "Mr Smartypants doesn't have the app on there" and I told you he doesn't have to have the app on the phone. The app is to track "other" devices, not his own. It just needs to be activated as I said in my earlier post.If it isn't found, he either didn't activate it, the battery is dead, the phone is off, or it wasn't lost, it was stolen and the thief has powered it off, remove the SIM, turned off Find my iPhone or location services or has restored the phone.

2 iPhones, one iTunes account. Can I restore my 3gs without erasing my iPhone 4s?

I previously used my iPhone 3gs. I then upgraded to a 4s and did it through iTunes.
I wanted to keep my 3gs as basically an iPod for my kids, but they recently got their own iPods, so I now want to sell it.
Unfortunately, my seven-year-old added a password to the 3gs and can't remember what it was. We've tried about 50 different ones to no avail. So, I can't manually restore it to factory settings through the iPhone menu. I have to do it through iTunes.
I'm just worried that iTunes will delete my current 4s information in the process. It recognizes that they are two different iPhones when I connect them individually. I gave each one separate names so that my old one pops up as "iPhone 3gs" and the new one "iPhone 4s." So my hunch is that it will treat them as separate devices, despite the fact that I transferred my entire iPhone to the 4s last year.
Any thoughts? Am I just being paranoid? Worst case, can't I just save my 4s info back onto my iTunes if it gets wiped away by accident?
Thanks!

What you do to one iphone has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

Multiple computers, one iTunes account... how to consolidate?

I have three computers: Power Mac G5, iBook G4, Mac Mini.
I access and buy songs from iTunes from all three computers.
I update my iPod only from the G5.
So, is there a way to copy the songs I purchased from the iBook and Mac Mini onto my main computer (G5), so that I can sync to my iPod?

My husband and I share the same e-mail address, and computer. We both have iPhones now and want to have our own individual Apple ids, but have one iTunes account is it possible?

My husband and I share a computer, have the same e-mail address, and have one iTunes account. Can we have different Apple ids on our individual iPhones or do we have to use the same one?

For purchasing from the iTunes and App stores, you will probably want to share the same Apple ID. But for other services such as iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud, you should use separate IDs. For example, if you use the same ID for iMessage you'll start getting each other's text messages. If you use the same ID for FaceTime you may get each other's FaceTime calls. If you set up the same iCloud account with the same ID, and data you sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all devices (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts and calendar events). You would also be sharing the same 5GB of free iCloud storage rather than each having your own 5GB of space.
