Sync 2 users to one iphone

Hi -
I have 2 different users created by me on my computer. I did this so that I would have 2 entirely unrelated address books. Is it possible to synch both users/address books to one iphone?
Thanks!

Yes. You can sync contacts to the iPhone from multiple users/computers.
This article provides more information on what can and cannot be synced and merged with multiple computers. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

    I have one MacBook pro, already have my iPhone synced to it. I want to sync my wife's to it as well so she can share my iTunes library.
    Is this possible?

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

  • TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.  Autorun only shows the Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

    This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. 
    Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%.  It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

    For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart.  Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem.  Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
    Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant.  I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

  • How do I sync contacts from one iPhone's backup to brand new iPhone?

    Hi all,
    I recently just lost my iPhone 3G, it was stolen and I could not get it back. The only "copy" of my iPhone 3G and it's contacts are in the backup file found in my iTunes.
    fyi, My iPhone was formatted to sync with my iTunes on Mac.
    The question is: if I were to purchase a brand new iPhone, can the contacts from the backup file in iTunes be sync to the new iPhone? If it is possible, how do I do that?
    Please help!

    When you get your new phone & connect it to itunes, you will be given the option of restoring from backup or setting up as new. Select restore from backup. This must be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content. Make sure you have at least ONE entry for contacts & calendars in whatever supported application you use for that purpose on your computer. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs NOT BE EMPTY. When you do sync after restoring from backup, you'll get a merge or replace prompt regarding your contacts & calendar, select merge.

  • How to sync more than one iPhone on same computer?

    I have multiple iphones under my family plan as well as iPad2.   I use one iMac mainly for my business & to update my iphone 4s, and the older intel imac  to update the other devices. 
    When we try to update/sync we get info from the last person who synced their iphone which is info that the other person may not want. 
    How does one set up two different 24" Imacs running Lion so that each person's iphone etc. is recognized and contains just their info when opening/syncing to iTunes. 
    I think I read somewhere that each person needs their own apple ID no./account? 
    If so, how does having each of us with their own account ID work if we all use the same computer?   
    Do we need to set up separate individual user accounts and when that person wants to sync to itunes they would log out of which account the computer is and log onto their own account before trying to sync to itunes?
    Thanks
    Bob

    It's easier if each person has their own AppleID, that way when the connect they can login to iTunes as their Apple ID and their apps, music, etc.. will sync. The only other way I know how of doing it is create user accounts for each of the people logging into the computer and then they will be forced to used their own AppleID's. To create accounts for each person go to System Preferences - Users & Groups and add users by clicking the + at the bottom of the column.
    BTW PLEASE complete your profile. We have a tough time helping if we don't even know what version of OS X you're running and what iMac you have. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right then click Profile and add the pertinent information.

  • 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?

  • Syncing more than one iPhone

    My wife and I both have an iPhone and sync music etc as usual through iTunes. When I try to backup my contacts/calendar to Outlook I get a message that says:
    "The information on the iPhone "xxx's Account" is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
    "Merge Info" merges the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.
    "Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account."
    All I want to do is to backup contacts/calendar. So what do I do?

    Do you mean a change to the mail box settings or a change to an e-mail? If the former, it won't change in Outlook if you change it on the iPhone. Whether a change to an e-mail (e.g. a deletion or a move to a folder) also changes in Outlook depends on whether you are using IMAP or POP to connect to your mailbox server. IMAP will keep the mailboxes synchronised all all times. POP will not. If you use POP for multiple mail clients (e.g. Outlook and your iPhone) make sure you choose to leave a copy of e-mails on the server or each message will only transfer to the first client to connect to your mail provider's server. IMAP is much better for the sort of set up you plan to have.

  • Syncing more than one iphone to my computer

    Despite my best efforts, when syncing my girlfriend's new iPhone to my computer (which was previously synced with all my own iPhone data), it has done what I dreaded - it has duplicated MY contacts with her contacts, and vice versa.  Can I ask;
    a) Is it possible to separate our addresses, after they've "joined"?
    b) How do I prevent future mixing of our seperate data (contacts, dates, etc)?
    Thanks, Tony

    The problem is this: By design, an iPhone will sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync or manually manage iTunes content with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer. There is no way to override this design feature.
