So confused about having two iPhones...

I'm waiting for the arrival of two iPhones. My issue is there are two users on one computer, and we have different contact lists, calendars,but we use the same music from itunes (which is under one account). the two phones will be under the same plan. but to keep things organized i want to create two accounts on my iBook, that way our information can stay separate (I know that we would have to create a second iTunes account for the other user, which we're cool with). Is that too complicated, or should we do manual syncing under a single account? totally lost...

I believe that the 2 User identities will be adequate to your needs, just make sure you have changed User accounts before docking, and maybe disable Automatic Syncing as a safeguard.
We have two separate iMacs and two iPhones, but BOTH iTunes accounts are set up under my Apple ID, since the other user is a minor. There was no problem setting the phones up individually. In fact, the first one is on the AT&T GoPhone plan since June 29th, and I activated the second one on a new AT&T Family plan yesterday... so even that didn't confuse them: 2 iPhones with 1 iTunes account, but 2 AT&T accounts. (FYI - I will bring the GoPhone to the Family plan soon... I did that first because I wanted to be absolutely sure that we were fully satisfied with the iPhone and AT&T service before moving the entire family plan over from Verizon).
Enjoy!

  • What can you do about having two iCloud accounts?

    Anybody else have what look like two iCloud accounts one for apple id and the other for migrated @me?
    And the apple id needs a new @me account to work with mail.
    I think I don't need any iCloud with my apple id but just leave me with the migrated @me account.

    How can you whipe an old iTunes account for a different iPhone??

  • Best way to go about having two people use the same form?

    Hi guys,
    Relativly new to livecycle and I need some help.
    I've been asked to make a form that 2 different people will have access too, what I need to do is as followed:
    Person 1
    Only has access to the first 5 pages and is able to fill out the form
    Person 2
    Has access to the WHOLE document and can see what PERSON 1 has entered.
    Can this be done with two different versions of the document, or will it have to be all as one?
    Regards

    Well I have done it before by using a button which the second person clicks and this brings up a messagebox which asks for a password. If the password is entered correctly the rest of the form (which is originally set to hidden) will become visible. The code in the click event of the button is something like (in formcalc):
    var correctpassword = xfa.host.response("Password:","For office use only","",1)
    if (correctpassword == "whateverYouWantYourPasswordToBe") then
        restOfForm.presence = "visible"
        $.presence = "hidden"
    else xfa.host.messageBox("You have entered the wrong password","For office use only",1)
    endif

  • How AT&T charges for two iPhones

    My girlfriend is thinking about getting an iPhone and I already have one. We want to be on a family plan together but I am not sure that how AT&T charges for having two iPhones on the same family plan. With regular phones it has always been just an extra $10 a month. If anyone knows the answer to this I would appreciate any help that I can get.
    Thanks!

    I have a family plan with 4 phones. 2 of them iPhones
    Since I am the main line. My phone costs $100 a month plus $20 unlimited data plus $20 unlimited SMS so all together just my phone is $140 a month.
    My dad has an iPhone his is $9.99 a month plus the $20 unlimited data. So grand total for his line is $29.99 a month
    So the only increase you will see on the Bill is $40 plus taxes as you both will have Unlimited data.

  • I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

    I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud.  Any thoughts?

    There are two aspects to iCloud.  One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud.  The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
    First to get an iCloud account:
    If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration).  If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
    Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
    To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7).  Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
    The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html  You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
    So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address.  You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

  • I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband.  How do I change the Apple ID over to him.  We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads

    I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband.  How do I change the Apple ID over to him.  We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads

    Hi Marg42,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
    My Apple ID
    https://appleid.apple.com
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
    Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
    This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

  • HT5622 How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
    If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
    Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.

  • How do i complain about having no use of iphone whilst transferring data therefore to find out if eligable for compensation?

    How do i complain about having no use of iphone whilst transferring data & waiting for updates and used a big chunk of my mobile intenet allowance as had it plugged into laptop all day!-therefore to find out if eligable for compensation?.

    Nothing is ever as easy as it should be, though I've no idea what you were doing that took so long. Takes at most 5 mins to insert a SIM card, choose a language and activate the phone. At that point it is working. Another 5-10 mins should get you connected to your email account. You can add media & apps when you're not busy doing something else, and the phone can still make & receive calls while you're doing that!
    The web is geared towards always on all you can eat broadband. If you run mobile broadband with a data cap or escalating charges then you need to manage the usage carefully, it is nobody else's problem.
    Sorry if I've come over a trifle harsh on your first visit here, but these forums are for users to help each other resolve technical issues. However badly your first day setting things up went there is nothing to be done about it now, A little research, or a chat with a knowledgeable friend or colleague, or getting the phone set up at the store would have made it easy. Chalk it up to experience and move on.

  • I am so confused about iCloud.  My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone.  How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

    I am so confused about iCloud.  My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone.  How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

    "All his information" may or may not include things customarily stored in iCloud.  Perhaps all the information is on both devices because they were both recently synced using the same iTunes sync.
    Do you have to have iTunes Match?  No.  Many folks do not have iTunes Match.  The music purchased from iTunes is always available to the purchaser.  Other music is stored in iTunes on the person's computer.

  • If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

    If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.

    The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20)  into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
    If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
    What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
    Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
    Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

  • I am so confused. I am thinking about buying an iPhone 4S but I want to use those card things that you can put the code in for the phone is this possible? I'm not talking about the 50$ unlimited card just the regular 20$ cards that hold mins and texts...

    As far as I know there is no US cell carrier that allows pay as you go with an iPhone. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4S at an Apple Store and try it with a non-supported carrier.

  • Confused about deleting pics on iphone

    I know this probably has been answered in a previous thread and have saw some thing that help, but I am still a bit confused about photo stream and photos.
    What is the difference from how photos get saved (on an iphone)  in photo stream vs. just being stored as memory?
    Do they, photos, get stored in the cloud or physically on my phone?
    How come when I go to delete photos on my iphone I get a message that warns it will delete on all my devises to include my mac?
    When I deleted a few pics from my iphone they got deleted from my mac. In a nutshell how can I ensure that my mac will permantly store all of my pics regardless if I delete them from my iphone?
    Thanks very much

    ok ill try to help
    photostream stores the pics you take for 30 days.  if you delete them from here removes from all devices.
    camera roll is the pics you take.  can be deleted from device and only device.  to save these import to your computer see.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    your photo library is imported from computer to phone.  you can delete these from device they have to be synced off
