Problems when I sync yahoo contacts w/ 2 iphones sharing the same computer

My son and I both have iPhones and we have 1 PC. We both have separate yahoo accounts. When I try to sync his phone, it picks up all of my yahoo contacts which is a problem since this is my work phone. Before syncing his phone, I configure his contacts to his yahoo account but it still happens every time. So then I have to delete all of my contacts off of his phone and from his yahoo account. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am sure there is an easy answer to this dilema.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The solution is simple: both of you should establish separate user accounts on your computers, and synchronize your iPhones to your individual accounts.

    not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
    (stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

  • How do i sync contacts on two iphones from the same computer without merging the contacts

    I called tech support and they suggested I set up a separate user account on my computer and that should create a new windows contact file (which it did).  When I sync the iphone from the new user account, it seems to still be syncing to the windows contacts folder in the main administrator account and not the newly created account.  iIconfirmed this because i deleted one contact from the iphone and one contact from the new windows contact folder.  I then did a sync and no changes occurred on phone or the windows contact folder in teh new user account.  I then went to the original user account and teh name I deleted from teh iphone was deleted from that windows folder.  I am not able to select any different folder to sync contacts with in the itunes "info" tab. Do I need to set up under a completely different computer?

    I called support and they helped me realize the " sync contacts with windows contacts" was unchecked (maybe I didn't click sync or apply when I first checked it?).  He helped me clean up some unnecessary contacts by clicking the contacts box in the advance tab and removing names directly from the windows contacts folder before syncing.

  • When I sync my ipod touch or iphone 4s the final step in the process never finishes. Anyone know why?  I already unistalled and re-installed itunes.

    When I sync my Itouch 5 or Iphone 4s the changes do not apply and the itunes gets stuck in a loop.  Any ideas?  Already re-installed Itunes.

    What itunes is asking is would you like to import the files and settings of your ipod to your iphone? It'll import things like contacts, calendar, mail, apps with app data.  If you want your phone set up just like your ipod then use that option.  Otherwise pick "set up as a new device" and it'll allow you to keep the two seperate and you will be able to sync them both to your itunes independently of each other.

    AirPort Express wireless connection, when I surf the news sites so I linked to **** pages. And must close the window. If I use my iPhone with Internet sharing the same computer, then I have no problem.
    I believe that it is in AirPort Express, and would have to clean it. How do you do that?

    You need to use the Express in router mode.. I think you are trying to use it in bridge mode.. but you need to give us a lot more details.. screenshots might help more than anything.

  • Sync a folder between two users on the same computer.

    I would like to sync a folder between two users on the same computer so that they are always the same when I access them from either user.

    then place this folder somewhere where both users have access to like in /Users/Shared. then there is only one folder to deal with and you don't need to sync anything.

  • HT1296 Can you sync more than one iphone to the same computer without having the two combine all information?

    Am I able to sync to iphones to the same computer, but have both phones and information on both stay separate? I do not have a computer at this time and want to sync my phone on my brother's computer for backup purposes. Is this possible?

    Create a new user login (with a password) for your stuff.
    This way, your data won't get mixed up.

  • How to Sync Multiple Iphones on the Same Computer

    Does anyone know how to Sync two different Iphones on the same computer?

    You have given almost no detail/information at all, so ti is hard to say.
    What apps? Are both iphones new? Were they synced with other computers? Same account?
    What is it that you are trying to do?
    The iphone will sync itunes content (music/apps/video) and pics with one and only one computer. If you sync to another it will first eras the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases. Authorize the account, do not sync: File>Transfer Purchases

  • Can i sync an ipad and iphone on the same computer

    I've got an iPhone 3GS and am thinking of getting an iPad 2 as well.  How does syncing the 2 devices on the same computer work?  Also, can I share Apps that I have purchased across the 2 devices, or do you have to pay for them twice?

    I am syncing my iPad and my iPod Touch using iTunes on the same computer.
    It's even possible to connect both devices at the same time to iTunes.
    Yes, apps are shared between devices, but only if those apps are actually able to run on both devices.
    You therefore only need to buy a certain app once and use it on your two devices.
    Your devices are in fact administratively attached to your Apple ID.
