Syncing 2 devices to same computer

My wife and I both have blackberries. Can we both download photos to the same computer? Hers worked fine. When I plugged in my phone, it shut off the power and would not let me use the media manager. Please help.

You can sync as many iphones/ipods/ipads as you like to one computer.

We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

Hello SuzyQ5253,
It sounds like you have two iPhones you want to sync them with one computer. I found an article with three ways you can go about doing this. I recommend picking the method that works best for you and following those steps:

Sync new ipad2 on same computer used for iPad

Hi, I have one computer which I've been using for my iPad. Then I ordered new iPad2. Now the question is, "Can I sync iPad2 on the same computer? Is there any way I can keep data for both iPads separately?"
Any advice will be appreciated.

Yes. Just plug it in. iTunes will see it as a separate device and you can choose what to sync to it in exactly the same way as you do with the first iPad.

My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

Syncing 2 iphones on same computer

Husband and I both have new iphone 4s. Syncing on a PC results in each of us having the other's contacts. How can we stop this??

You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhones with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer - there is no device limit, and each iPod and/or iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes. IMO, it is best to disable automatic syncing when an iPod or iPhone is connected so you can confirm the sync settings for each iPhone when connected before syncing.

Help! syncing multiple ipods on same computer!

i will soon have two different ipods syncing to the same computer. how can i keep libraries separate so that my brother's music doesn't show up on my ipod and my music doesn't get synced to his?
iPod Video 30GB Windows XP

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods on one computer. See here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

Syncing two ipods on same computer

When my son synced his ipod (20GB, no video) to our computer my daughter lost her ability to synce her ipod (30GB w/video). Is it possible to have two different itunes libraries and sync both ipods on the same computer? If so, what changes do I need to make?

There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

IPod Touch and iPhone - Syncing both on the same computer

Is there any reason I would have a problem syncing both my ipod touch and a new iphone on the same computer? I want to have all of my music on both. My iphone arrives today and wanted to avoid any major issues.
Thanks -

Normally I would recommend this...
Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
However, I don't think you get the show artwork option for the iPhone, correct?
Cheers,
Patrick

Syncing 2 iphone on same computer...

Hi
I need you expertize
Someone nea to me say that he synced his iphone on the same computer than another friend who already had synced his own phone on this same computer.
The guy tell me that now when i send him text message the otther receive it too...
Question, do you think is lying or is in theory possible please ?

Both phones are tied to the same AppleID, both get same iMessage. But if the text message is not an iMessage and got sent thru the carrier, then each phone is different cause of the phone #. iMessages get sent thru the Internet and the carrier doesn't handle them. So clarify to see if leg pulling is occurring.

HT1386 syncing multiple iPhones on same computer

How can I sync two iPhones on the same laptop? right now they are both treated as one.

See this support document for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495, however, there is no way that iTunes can treat two devices as the same, unless you have the settings in iTunes for the two devices set the same. Each iOS device is identified differently in iTunes. It is how you set iTunes to handle the two devices that can differ.
Why are you saying they are treated as one?

HT3622 can you sync your device on another computer aside from the origional one you registered your device on/

is it possible to sync your apple device to a different computer than the one you origionally register it on?

You can sync it to any of your computers you like.
It may erase the current content from the device and replace with the content from the new computer.

Syncing two devices to same iTunes account

Is it possible to sync two iPods to the same iTunes account? I have had a iPod Classic and just got a Shuffle and would like to use the same account for both devices.

yes, but be careful because it has only one music library (i had) and all music from one ipod was automatically synchronized to another ipod

Updating 2 devices on same computer and I-tunes...

My Husband and I both have I phones, I downloaded I-tunes to our PC and set everything up, also updated my phone. When trying to plug my Husbands phone in and update his it will not work, says it is going to erase everything to make sure its saved on computer.... I dont know what to do we only have one computer and I dont know how to update his on the same one....
Help if you have any suggestions.

Not sure what the issue is. Nothing unusual is happening.
The iphone is designed to be synced with the computer. Everything on the iphone should always be on the computer, particularly before any update.
Some updates do indeed erase the iphone. This is why you should always have everything on your computer.
