One computer - Windows 7 and Two - iPhone 3gs phones?
Help please!!! Anyone with an answer!!!
I am trying to sync two iPhone 3gs's to my one laptop, with Windows 7 using iTunes 10.5.1... My issue is am I in for it when it comes to setting up my daughters phone on this computer also, and both of us use the same Home Sharing status, so that we can listen to the music on the computers, which are all sharing the same network!!?
What do you think is the best thing to do in this matter?
have you checked "sync only checked items" on the summary page for the iphone?
When you say it won't sync, do you get any error messages or does it complete normally but nothing is sync'd across

How do I manage one Apple ID and two iPhones with iCloud
I recently updated my Apple ID and have two phone using iCloud (mine and my daughter's). How do we manage our contacts so we both do not have (or delete) each other's contacts? Thank you!
You have two choices. The first is to not sync contacts with iCloud on one of the phones. To do this, on the phone you want to stop syncing with go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.
The second (preferred) option is to migrate one of the phones to a separate iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. You can then go to iCloud.com and delete each other's data from your accounts. Note: you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and other services; the ID you use for these does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud. -

Hi there. We have two iphone 3gs' and an Ipad 2 all operate on IOS 5 but one of the iphones syncs on another computer. The other two sync on our other computer. Those two will only play internet radio for a short time and then they stop playing the program while our third will play all the way through and we can always get back to the program. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this happens? Thank you
Here's how to do it.
1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts and etc. -

after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
Any ideas?? TKS Sandro“Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
Thanks

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS.
I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile. -

i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?
You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop. If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

Is it possible to have a number of cards (say one credit card and two debit cards) to be listed as the payment cards for my itunes account, so that different cards can be used for different purchases? Or can you only have one card registered on itunes at any one time?
So is there any way that three members of a family can share one itunes account but pay for their own purchases, other than inputting their own cards each time they make a purchase.
No, there is no way to do that.
Or if we all have our own individual itune accounts, can we share each other's music, or can you only sync your iphone/ipad/mac, with one itune account at a time?
You can sync content from up to five iTunes Store accounts to any given computer or device. You just will each have to copy the content into your own libraries so you can sync to your devices and have your devices authorized to all applicable accounts.

I have and iBook G4 10.4.11 and an iPhone 3GS. Currently they sync. What will happen when I move my .mac account to iCloud?
They will stop syncing with no workaround unless you sync by plugging the phone into your computer using a USB cable.
