Synching two iphones to one MacBook
I am having trouble. I had registered and synched my iphone to a laptop I no longer use. I recently purchased a Macbook and went to set up two users for two iphones. I was able to create the second user on the computer however, the second user is not able to access the internet. I have a wireless internet card and when I switch to the second user, I am not able to access the internet. What do I need to do to give access to the second user so they can register and set up their iphone?
Thanks everyone, I think it was an issue with the phone which i turned off and on and now it seems ok.
sorry , perhaps i should have tried this first!
thanks for taking the time to answer my questions

Synching two iphones on one itunes
I have 2 iphones, one a 4g and the other 3gs. My question is we have one laptop and one itunes download. Can we synch our phones to one itunes and keep our information seperate? Contacts & Calendars? We are using MS Exchange.
When syncing an iPhone with iTunes when logged into a particular iTunes account with iTunes if more than one iTunes account is involved, that iTunes account, the login for that account will be available on the iPhone. And if you sync contacts with more than one iPhone with the same address book under the same computer login account, the contacts will be the same on each iPhone and with the address book both iPhones were synced with.
This didn't happen by accident - by simply connecting the iPhone to iTunes. You were trying to do what with your wife's iPhone when connected to iTunes on your computer? -
ICloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three
iCloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three. I have managed to get the Macbook and one iPad to sync, but wjat about the other iPad?
First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing. -

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?
Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

A Tale of Two iPhones and One iTunes
So this little problem has plagued us for years... nearly three to be more precise. We have two iPhones and one PC. Wife syncs contacts with GMail and I sync contacts with Outlook. Funny thing was that the tab for contact sync would not 'stick' with the phone... if I synced mine first, when I plugged hers in it would still be setup for Outlook. Or if I changed it to Google for her and then plugged mine in it wouldn't remember my phone wanted Outlook and would sync with Google. I gave up trying to get it working and setup a seperate profile on the PC for my wife that really was only used for her to sync her phone. The only drawback we could see was we couldn't have a single repository for apps and I had to add music to libraries twice (one for each profile on the computer).
Well, now that we're on the 4S I thought I'd see if iTunes has evolved since 3 years ago when I gave up. I uninstalled all Apple applications and loaded the latest iTunes. The cool part of iOS 5 and the new iTunes is we don't have to connect phones any more So now both phones show up at the same time. I can toggle through all the tabs and see how they differ... different sets of applications are selected, different photo options, music options, etc. EXCEPT the tab with contacts. If I set her phone to google, my phone changes too. I set mine back to Outlook and hers changes to Outlook. We've mixed and matched contacts several times trying to get them to stay in tune and that is a huge PITA to clean up.
I tried the Genius bar. The Genius answer was that we should probably do a restore on the phone. I asked him to help me understand how restoring one phone would solve a problem that existed across 4 phones (two 3G's and two 4S's) and untold versions of iTunes over three years. He just insisted that we probably need to do a restore on the 4S. You know, because that would clearly explain the problem we also had on the 3G. His backup plan was to call Apple support.
So before I submit a ticket to Apple, anyone else able to confirm this limitation? I've checked with my friends and the ones that have iPhones don't sync their contacts anywhere. iCloud will help but we use XP and the PC software requires Vista or better so for now we're still unable to sync our contacts to our PC.
Thanks!
davidOn your wife's phone, when you said you've done a restore, was that a restore from backup or as a "new" device? I would suggest deleting the .ipsw file/files on your computer, connecting your wife's phone and restore as "new". When finished, DO NOT SYNC, rather eject the phone and test, verify that all is working correctly. If so, connect her phone & sync her content back.
The .ipsw file is located here, delete all you find, there should only be one:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
If this works, under preferences, devices, in itunes, delete her backups, as they are most likely corrupted. -

Can I have two iPhones on one iCloud account?
I would like to put my wifes iphone on my icloud account so in the end we will have 2 iphones and one macbook on the account is that possible?
You can but it's usually not recommended. If you do any synced data will be merged to the same iCloud account. For example if you both sync your contacts and calendars with the same iCloud account you will see each others contacts and calendar events on your phones. Also, you can share an Apple ID (account) for iTunes store purchasing and still have separate iCloud accounts.

I have two IPhones and one IPad all with the same Apple ID. I can call facetime between the two IPhones, but I cannot call the IPAD from either of the IPhones and when I call my IPhone from the IPad it rings my wife's IPhone after briefly calling mine.
Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

Hello, I have two iphones but one Apple ID. How can I use localization apps for a dedicated device? Tx
On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

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.

HT1386 Synching multiple iPhones on one computer
How do I synch multiple iphones on one computer. Last time I tried, I wiped out the contacts on one of the phones, so I want to be sure not to do this again. I don't want to wipe out any data on either of the phones (contacts, music, etc). I also am not sure what iphone I have, I've looked in settings and can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
I understand that. What is the purpose of synching then? Maybe I should have said I want to share music between the devices, but that is all. And I don't want to wipe out any of the music on one of the phones, which is what happened last time I tried to synch.

Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc. -
