Multiple iPhones Same Account

My husband and I are both planning to get iPhone 4. I have a Mac which stores music, video and photos.
Can we both share the iTunes account and information on both iPhones?
Can I sync my iPhone with a different Work PC also to get my Calendar and Contacts from Outlook on my work PC?

If your work is an Exchange account, you can access this via the Excahnge settings on the iPhone and sync OTA.

Two iPhones - Same Account - Syncing Applications

New to the forums and have searched high and low for the answer to this question - can't find it so here I am.
Given:
1. Wife has an iPhone 4
2. I have an iPhone 4
3. We use the same iTunes Store account for app, music, etc purchases.
4. We both use the same iTunes account to sync our phones.
5. I have iTunes setup to manually sync items
Problem:
1. When I plug my phone in I choose what apps I want to sync, check them off, hit the sync button - all is good.
2. When I plug my wife's iPhone in she get's my apps synced plus whatever she wants.
I'd like to know if there's a way to keep the same setup we have (same account, same syncing, etc) but be able to choose what apps sync to what phone when it's plugged in.
Any help would be great.

Ok thanks.
It says on the link above that Office Outlook 2007 calls them distribution lists - I have some of these already set up but itunes doesnt give me the option to select them individually, the 'selected groups' on info option is not available to select.
So should I go ahead and set up dist lists for mine and my husbands contacts this way or not?
Thanks

Multiple iphones / itunes accounts on same computer

We now have 2 iphones and want to administer on same PC. How do I set up 2 iTune accounts on same PC?

If you're are using the same AppleID, then it's easiest to sync them from the same user account. iTunes will recognize them as two devices and allow you to set each up the way you want to.
If you are using to different AppleIDs, then it's best to sync each to a different user account, with the iTunes logged into the correct AppleID on that account.
Note, you will only be able to run Match or redownload purchases for one AppleID per computer.

Multiple iphones same apple id, how to seperate them

i have multiple accounts on one apple id, how do I create another and seperate them

if it's a family situtation where you want to all share app and music purchases, you can stay signed into the same apple id in the app store (lots of people do), but you need to sign out of the apple id in imessage and facetime so messages don't get crossed over
you can either create a new apple id at appleid.apple.com, or you can do it on the phone after you've signed out of an apple id. when you tap 'sign in' anywhere that requires an apple id, it should give you the option to create a new apple id

Multiple users same account different roles

Hi,
How could I do this in thunderbird?
There is only one email account. Under the only one email account, there is a manager who have all the privileges. There are some users accounts who can only read and reply emails. Users accounts can't delete any messages.
Thanks,
James

2 iphones, same account. Swap sims?

I have an account with two iphones on it.
My son has a 1st generation iphone that he dropped and is now barely working. My son is elegible for an upgrade. I have an iphone 3GS that I bought at launch. If I buy a new iphone 3GS to replace my son's original iphone, would it be possible to swap sim cards so that I would keep the "new" iphone 3GS and my son would get my few month old iphone 3GS? This is something my son wants me to do. Also, how would I go about transferring all of my data (pictures, mp3s, contacts etc...)from my iphone to the new one? Thanks.

Dude, you probably have this solved by now, but hey..if in the future, simply take both phones, and two separate computers (Mac or PC) do a FULL backup on both phones to to each computer via iTunes...(don't back up both phones to one computer, backup one iphone to one computer, and back up the other on another computer)... power off both phones, swap SIM cards and power them both back on....switch the phones to the computer that has the backup you want, after identifying the iphone in the list, ( it will still show the original name) then right click on the phone in the list and select "restore from backup".... do that on both computers (phones) and they will now be switched !!
I have done this, so I know it works.... Good Luck !!

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?

HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

I have a serious contacts redundancy problem. First I have multiple email account formats, e.g., 2011 MacOutlook, 2008 Entourage, 2007 Window Outlook, iPhone Exchange and these are all connected to the same account. The problem is I had up to 15 contact

I have a serious contacts redundancy problem.
First I have multiple email account formats,e.g., 2011 MacOutlook, 2008 Entourage, 2007 Window Outlook, iPhone Exchange and these are all connected to the same account. The problem is I had up to 15 contacts for the same person.
I deleted the Entourage contacts as that seemed to be the program that was causing the problems. When I synced this morning, now all my contacts are gone from every where.
How can I restore to my last back? If I restore, it will ask to restore to the back that was just made… which has no contacts?
Help would be greatly appreciated !!

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?
Thanks

Can you install apps on multiple iphones/ipods from same itunes account?

Hello, My first post so please be gentle. I will be picking up my 3g in an hour or 2 and have a few apps lined up including super monkeyball. My wife has an 8g touch. We have seperate pc's each with their own library and installation of itunes although both signed in to my account. Itunes has let me download super monkeyball on both pc's ( same account ). Will it let me install the game to my iphone and my wifes touch? I'm pretty new to itunes and have never even purchased music through it yet but I understand purchased music can be downloaded to 5 seperate pc's and unlimmited ipods? is that correct? I would be surprised if this was the same for applications.

Your answer is yes although you were going to attempt it in a few hours anyway so why bother asking? Oh that's right you're excited

Mavericks can't sync contacts need to sync multiple family iPhones to same account but keep contacts in separate groups

Both my wife and son have iPhones and prior to mavericks I was able to sync contacts through iTunes and select which group of contacts synced with the phone so for instance my son would only see his contacts and my wife her own,but the imac would hold the master back up
I cannot see anyway to do this now as the only way to sync contacts appears to be through icloud.i can't find any support documents to explain what happens if I turn icloud sync on as all it says on iphone is merge contacts which presumably would then put all contacts on each phone
Does anyone know how I could achieve the desired goal?

1 person = 1 account
iCloud is for individual use, so if 5 people share the same account they will get all of the contacts (and calendar events) in the account. Kinda messy.
Give each person their own account in iCloud and their own user account on the Mac.
iTunes can still be shared with a seperate ID for all to use.
Syncing via iTunes has nothing to do with iCloud, and is no longer possible with Mavericks.

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.
