Multiple Phone Sync

I started a thread in the general Ovi Suite section that got no views. I have a couple different Nokia phones that I sync to my computer (N95 and N76). I am afraid that I do not get a full sync - after one phone is synced, the second cannot add to the message database prior to the date the first phone was last synced. Is my fear correct? Can anyone tell me if the sync will check to update SMS according to the phone, or simply according to date (without regard to phone)..

As far as I know, It will sync all the messages irrespective of the date.. but will be seen according to the date / conversation (as per the view you select..).. so will get mixed up.. Hence, once synced it will be difficult which message came from which of you phone...
If you want syncs from both phones separately.. then as per one post that I read on this forum..log-in as different user (creating another profile..) on your PC.. and run the OVI from the other log-in..

TS3999 We use the icloud to syn multiple calendars on multiple phones. They are no longer syncing. Any ideas.

I can no longer link calanders on multiple phones. Any ideas?

Make sure you are signed into the same iCloud account on all of them in Settings>iCloud with Calendars turned on. Also make sure you are adding events to your iCloud calendar. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar ( in the Calendars section) on each of your devices and make sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPhone, Google, Yahoo or Exchange. After adjusting your settings, add a test event on each of your devices and confirm that your calendars are syncing properly now.

TS1347 Syncing contacts with multiple phones on one computer

how can I sync multiple phones on one computer without deleting or sharing contacts from each phone?

You'd need a contact application that supported creating contact groups, then you could select what groups/group to sync to each phone.

Just upgraded to iOS 7 and messages are showing up on multiple phones within our family. We all use the same iCloud account. I believe this happened the last time there was a major iOS upgrade but I can't remember what the fix was! Help!

The four members of my family just upgraded to iOS 7 last night. We now find that we are receiving each other's text messages. It's possible that during the installs, a few members may not have "unckecked" the multiple phone numbers they can be reached on. I know that I had to uncheck my husbands work mobile number and work email address as they came up as choices for contacting me. So now I am receiving some of my daughter's text messages on my phone - she's not impressed! My husband is receiving my texts etc... It's a mess! I appreciate any help anyone can offer!

I had this problem last night as well. Only my daughter upgraded to iOS7 and she had an old phone of mine. When she upgraded, the phone asked for my apple ID and then continued as normal. However, after the upgrade, any text message that I recieved, she also recieved. I am pretty sure my wife thought I was hammered when she started texting me and my daughter began answering her not having any clue what she was texting about. Anyway, this only occurred with texts from other family members, not from texts I received from friends who are obviously not on our account (we have Verizon BTW). To resolve this issue, and it isn't a short resolution.... there are two options... One, simply erase everyting on the phone.... I don't like iTunes 11, so we were unable to back up her phone. I made her go through her 600 photos, delete the ones she didn't want and email the ones she wanted to herself, and then we wiped the phone clean and rebooted it... go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. The second option, if you have iTunes 11 is to back up the phones one at a time, and then go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. Either of these options wipes the phone clean of all information, text contacts pictures etc and then you have to re-enter all of your individual information. When you do that, make sure that no one is on the same iTunes account. Theoretically, after you do this, you plug back into your computer and SYNC your phone from the last back-up. This resolved the problem for us. I don't know if there is an easier solution, be we tried logging in and out of our iTunes Accounts, turning the power on and off, and nothing changed. So, we had to go the more difficult route to avoid mass confusion with family texting.

TS4006 can you have multiple phones on same user email

can you have multiple phones on same user email

If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes. Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices. Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account. Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.

Multiple Phone Backups

I've spent some time on google and browsing through these forums.
I have over 30 Iphone 5's currently attached to our exchange through active sync.
We don't allow our users to use iCloud due to FOI act & living in Canada.
My question is; Is there no program, or application that will allow me to backup multiple phones to a PC?
If a user's iphone dies, I'd love to take that phone, plug it into my PC, back it up, and send it out for repair.
When I get the phone back, upgrade it, and then restore it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there,
It sounds like your best option may be to use iTunes to back up your devices. This offers several advantages, the main one for you (from the sound of it), being encrypted backups that are stored locally. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information about iTunes Backups.

Multiple phones on account - messages default to main phone, how to change

I have multiple phones on our account, messaging is defaulting to main phone which is an older style flip phone. How can I change to the phone I want to see and sync messages from?

Each device has it's own backup on iCloud, even if under the same account. Your contacts merged not from the backups but due to syncing his phone with your iCloud account. To keep them separate, you need to have separate accounts.

We use our Iphones with the icloud to set up scheduling of jobs. Multiple phones share the same icloud for this purpose. We recently had a change in leadership. How do I completely delete the icloud account? Or do I just create a new one/forget old 1

Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?

Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. How do I do this?

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

Hi ndmulderx,
If I understand correctly, your family has been sharing a single Apple ID and now you want to give everyone an individual Apple ID without losing any content. You can do this with Family Sharing. The article below provides details about the feature which will allow you to share purchases between family members, create shared photo albums and much more.

I have multiple phones on the same itunes account but now we can see everyones imessages. Can I create a new account for imessaging?

I have multiple phones that share an apple ID for music. The problem is that when we use imessaging we see eachothers messages. Can I create a separate account solely for imessaging so private messages can be sent but keep the same itunes account and continue sharing music?

Yes.

Because me and my parents have the same apple id, my new phone synced all of their songs on to my iPhone. I tried to delete them or transfer them off my phone to iTunes but it wouldn't work. What do I do?
