Problems syncing two iPhones to iTunes

Hello everyone,
We had until about a month ago just one iPhone 4, and the syncing was working as it should. Now, however, we have an additional iPhone 4 that is being connected to the same computer.
My husband has the first iPhone, and I the second one. Every time I connect my iPhone to this computer I get my husband's apps - and I don't want that.
I tried unchecking 'sync automatically' at the bottom of the 'Apps' tab, but for some reason that checkmark returned (perhaps because my husband synced his phone since then?).
I just want iTunes to copy and back up my apps - and not add any apps from my husband's iPhone.
Can it be done?
I'd love for help in this matter.
Thanks

  • Syncing two iphones on itunes

    I used my wife's computer to sync my iPhone4 (since my laptop was in the shop and I hadn't connected to iTunes to upgrade software). I went to the Apple Store and spoke to someone at the Genius Bar (or service counter?) and asked about using ONE itunes to sync TWO separate devices. Again, I needed to sync to get the latest update to the iPhone4, at that time.
    Well, I was assured that there wouldn't be any 'crossover'. What's mine would remain mine; what's hers would remain hers.
    That isn't completely true. ALL of my apps are in iTunes and her apps are on my phone.
    I just wanted to sync my iPhone, back up MY apps, NOT get my wife's apps, and keep the iOS current.
    The advice that I got helped to create a mess. It's not a serious FUNCTIONAL problem. But, it's quite a bit annoying. (I have TONS more apps than the wife and our social media interests are VASTLY different.)
    Any advice on how we can clean up this mess AND avoid it, in the future, even if we share the same laptop to sync?

  • Syncing two iPhones one iTunes

    Ok, I have read many topics on this but I want to get it right before I do anything dumb. My wife and I both have iPhones. I have been syncing mine to my mac from the beginning. She has hers set up on her PC, now the question is she has no cd drive and wants to get music on her iphone. So I just thought we could sync hers up on my iTunes and that way she could just go forward with my computer from here on out. Well the problem is how do you keep her contacts and such separate from mine? And every time I plug hers in, my iTunes wants to erase all her content. How can I get around this issue? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Iphone will sync itunes content and pics from one computer and only one computer.
    When you sync to another, it will indeed erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
    She can sync contacts, calendars with one computer and itunes/pics with another.
    Make sure that both computers are not set to auto sync. Then deselect sync contacts, calendars, etc on the mac, and select sync music on the mac.
    Do the opposite on the pc.

  • Problem syncing my iphone with itunes

    Right i have been given a Power Mac G4
    I have managed to get the itunes that was already installed on the computer to work with my itunes account, but when i plug my iPhone in to the computer, it comes up with the following message...
    ''The iPhone ''Riki Urquhart'' cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes''
    I followed these instructions and when i went to load the new version of iTunes on to the computer i get a message saying there is a problem with my system and i need Mac os x 10.5 or later...
    Can someone please help me as i need to get my iPhone backed up and cleared as i have no memory left and need to organise the phone better, plus i havent managed to update in for over one year?
    Riki

    Not gonna work.
    iPhone 4G requires 10.5.8 or later & iTunes 10.1 or later.
    You should update your OS to 10.4.11 (run Software update from Apple menu). This is the most recent OS your system can run.
    Also, iTunes 2009 is not a version. iTunes menu iTunes > About iTunes.

  • How to sync two iphones to itunes acct

    i sync both my iphone 4 to one acct and now both are backedup the same-i want to be able to sync each phone seperatly-how do i do it??????????

    You can sync as many iphones as you lie to one account.
    Plug one in, select whatever you like to sync.
    Plug the other one in, select whatever you like to sync.

  • CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

    Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
    Thanks,
    trippj

    Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
    It worked for me

  • HT1386 I'm having a problem syncing my Iphone 4 to iTunes.

    I am having a problem syncing my Iphone 4 to Itunes, how can I fix this problem?

    Is it just your home WiFi, or all WiFi? If it is just your home network start by rebooting your router. Turn it off or unplug its power for 15 seconds or so.

  • Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

    iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
    If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

    I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

  • How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.
