Sharing music purchsed on one iphone with others in a family group
Can music purchased on one iphone thru itunes be shared with other iphones in the family, that sync on the same laptop computer? we each have sep accts in itunes, under individul names in windows vista. Can music my son has purchased on itunes thru his iphone be shared?
you can have multiple devices setup to use the same iTunes account, which will give you access to all of the media on the computer (music, movies, photos, apps, etc).
you can have separate sync settings setup so music you want on your phone will not be the music your son wants on his phone, unless you listen to the same music.

Using one iPhone with iTunes on two PCs
Hi. Is it possible to use one iPhone with iTunes [one user account] on two PCs?
I have a desktop at home, but I'm unable to use it to update my iPhone software. I've tried several times to get to the bottom of the problem, but when I update my phone, it goes into recovery mode. As a result, I loose everything on my phone. I eventually stopped updating my phone, but now I can't get some apps to work because my iphone software are not up-to-date.
I have now authorized my PC at work in order to update my phone. It has done it successfully, but I have lost my music. Everything else is fine. Will I be able to add my music files using the PC at home?
If it works, from now on I will use my PC at work to update and back-up my phone. I know I will probably loose my music every time I do this, but it is the only way around this problem. It just means adding my music files again at home from time to time.You can sync an iPhone with iTunes on another computer but not for any iTunes content, and you can transfer photos from a single computer only.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and videos with an iTunes library on a single computer ONLY. When transferring any iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. If you don't have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and you don't have manually manage music and videos selected either with iTunes on another computer, you can sync away. If you transfer photos from another computer, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
The reason you can manually manage music and videos with iTunes on multiple computers with most iPods is because most iPods support disk mode, which the iPhone does not support. Disk mode is not supported with the iPhone, the iPod Touch, and the iPad. -
Hello guys! I have a problem. I bought my iphone 5 from Bulgaria with contract from Globul operator, but i change my operator and i want to use my iphone with other chip, but i can't. I go to the office of Globul operator but they told me it's locked with us, they told me your contract with us must be finish and after that. And can i have a chance to unlocked my iphone before.
No. Since Globul is one holding the lock and they told you only after your contract expires then there is no way to get it unlocked.

I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?
If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish 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, 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; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else. -
just want to move data between two iphones using one itunes.
Make sure your computer iTunes is up to date. (iTunes 11.1.1)
Now, do it one iPhone at a time; When you connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes sidebar (iTunes > View > Show Sidebar), what iPhone name do you see?
iTunes is smart enough to tell the differences if each has a unique name.
Point One checked.
Right click on iPhone name in Sidebar and choose Backup.
Do the same for the second iPhone.
Make a copy of the backups in computer to another location (Just incase something gone wrong)

Point 2 checked.

I have an iphone 3gs and i have a new pc at home along with my laptop, the itunes that I have always did the sync with my iphone is on the laptop so if I use itunes on the new pc, with the same iphone it says that if I sync all the music, or apps, contacts whatever that are on the iphone with be deleted and replaced with the data that is on the itunes on the new pc, but there are none on it. no music or apps or photos nothing. so I thought it would copy what is on my iphone now and put it on the new pc, or at least with home sharing turned on, i would have all the same music and apps and stuff that i have on the old pc now, but that does not seem right? or is it? or how can I make this work?
thanks for any help.This is exactly right.
The iphone will sync itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
You need to put everything on one computer and sync from there. -
Sharing music on the same pc with different accounts
I am sharing music and movies on the same pc but managing it with different accounts. Recently, when I add new content in the public folde, it only shows up in the one account that I adde it to and not the other accounts.
If you want all users to be able to access the same music, but with different libraries, NikkiG's advice is spot on. However, I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ since I just set this up for a friend.
If you want all your users to have exactly the same library, and not just access to a shared library, do the following:
-move the entire "iTunes" folder (~/Music/iTunes) into the Shared folder or to separate drive.
-in each user's account, remove the iTunes folders (or just move them to a new location until you're positive this method works for you)
-pop open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and here's where it gets a little dicey; type the following into the command line:
ln -s /Users/Shared/iTunes/ ~/Music/iTunes/
What this does is create a symbolic link (think alias, but more technical and powerful) between the iTunes folder in the Shared folder, and each user's iTunes folder. This way, each user is directly accessing the iTunes library, and not just through the shared area in iTunes itself. This allows them to add/remove music and playlists to the same library.
HOWEVER, this method will mess up if you have multiple users logged in and using iTunes at the same time. -

Sharing music between two devices, iPhone & iPod Touch
I have a company iPhone with all of my music bought through iTunes. I just bought an iPod touch and need to know if I can share my music and apps between both devices. I want my iPod to use my yahoo account as the default mail app and the iPhone needs to keep my company Outlook mail. How do I set this up? If I go into an apple store, will they help me/
- For this:
Thank you very much! I just need to be sure my texts from my work iPhone don't show up on the iPod. I can turn off the iMessage app
Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and make sure you emaill address and phone number do not appear. Delete them if necessary. You can then add her own email address so you can message her.
- The iPod will only use a phone number for Messages if the Account used to set up the iPod includes an iPhone and the iPod has iOS 6. You can't add non-iPhone number to Messages on an iPod. -

Sharing a "Note" with others (aside from "Family" sharing)
While I can share a specific "Calendar" with others (via specified email addresses and iCloud), is it possible to share a "Note" as well (via the same)?
you can have multiple devices setup to use the same iTunes account, which will give you access to all of the media on the computer (music, movies, photos, apps, etc).
you can have separate sync settings setup so music you want on your phone will not be the music your son wants on his phone, unless you listen to the same music. -
Iphone with existing unlimited texting family plan
Hi, I just got an iPhone today butt ATT has given me two different answers about my question:
I am on a family plan with 3 other family members. We have the 30 dollar unlimited text messaging that covers everyone. I was told by two people at ATT that if I picked the 20 dollar data pack for my iphone, even though it says I'll only get 200 sms texts a month, since we have unlimited texting on the family plan, the unlimited texting will override the 200 texts a month that the iphone offers.
I was also told by one person that this is not correct.. that the 20 dollars of 200 texts message will replace the unlimited texting (for only my line) that my family has.
ATT is closed right now so if anyone could give me some feedback asap I would be very happy! Thanks!Yea, but isn't the data plan for the iPhone, iPhone specific. You know, so we can get our visual voicemail and things like that. I mean if it wasn't that way, then why would they make you have to buy it. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.
Ok, so you have unlimited testing for all the lines on your plan. Ok I got a little confused then, sorry about the date refrences.. I think though that what your saying about the number of texts will be correct. The rest of the lines on your plan will still have unlimited texts, but you'll be reduced to the 200 limit. You'll not have the Unlimited data as well, which is good if you surf the net a lot of the iPhone.
