Syncing 2 iPhones with different Apple ID's on 1 Mac

Hi,
I want to sync two iPhones 4 with different Apple ID's on one Mac. I want to do this by creating a second iTunes library.
The second iPhone which I want to sync, has already been synced to another pc. I know that when I do this, all music on the iPhone will be erased. That's ok with me. I would like to know what other data on the iPhone will then be erased:
- Will I be able to transfer the photo's to my new Mac?
- Will I be able to keep all my contacts?
- Same for all the installed apps? When I authorise my Mac for the Apple ID which is used with the second iPhone, will I then be able to re-download all my apps to my Mac?
- What about my settings on the second iPhone?
- Will the e-mail accounts be deleted?
Thanks in advance for any answers
Erwin

Syncing to a new iTunes library will wipe the phone and replace it with media from the new iTunes library. However, if you carefully follow wjosten's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770 you can migrate to the new computer without losing everything. (You'll still lose any music and other media not in the new library but you will retain your messages, settings and apps. Your contacts and calendar will be merged Address Book and iCal on the new computer, however.) I would suggest that as a safety precaution you use the free app My Contacts Backup to backup your contacts. This backup is attached to an email that you send to your self, and can be used to re-import your contacts if anything goes wrong.

ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.

If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts?
Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
A. What happens to the songs on the other two libraries? Can we never use them?
It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
C. If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.

D. If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.

I am inquiring as to if you can 2 different icloud accounts (that come from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer. I would like both iphones to be able to back up to the same computer since we have different accounts/pictures/mail etc.

How to use iTunes with 2 iPhones with different apple id's

iTunes only backs up what is on the iPhone. You mean it installs all apps on both devices.
Select the tabs across the top and select what you want to sync to each device.

Can I have 2 iPhones with different Apple IDs link to the same Photo Stream?

My husband and I use the same computer and Aperture program. I set my iPhone up with the Photo Stream from Aperture with no problem but when he set his up, it didn't get the feed of pictures. We have different apple ID's on our phones? Can this be done?

just to add another question to this, can i subscribe to a photo stream, like my mate's?

I've not found any referneces to this anywhere

TS1474 sync iphone with different itunes without overwriting

My pc with itunes died- it is being repaired. In the meantime, can I use itunes on my laptop to get new podcasts and sync with my iphone or will that overwrite the info/music/etc already on my phone?

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single iTunes library. When transferring iTunes content from another iTunes library, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
You can download new podcasts direct with your iPhone with the Podcasts app.

Ipad and Iphone with different apple ID. Changed to same, but can't change the Ipad Icloud to match with the same @me account. Help!

When I got my Iphone, I couldn't remember the apple ID, so Best Buy created one. Now my Ipad Icloud account has a different ID than my Iphone. Can I change this so all the passwords match? I was able to log in to the Ipad and change the Apple ID to match the Iphone but can't find a way to do same for Icloud on Ipad.
thanks

So are you trying to change your passwords? Or change which account is logged into icloud?
Here are the instructions for changing which account is logged into icloud. Go to settings-icloud-delete account. Then settings-icloud-sign in with the account you wish to use.

Sync units with different Apple ID?

Our family's iPad is linked to my AppleID, and our MacBook Air is linked to my my wife's Apple ID. Is it at all possible that GarageBand on both units could sync through the same iCloud (mine)?

No, if you want to sync using iCloud, you need to use the same AppleID on both devices. Ask your wife to create a sec on user account on the MacBook Air for you, so you can download to the MacBook Air from your iCloud account. Then you can copy the projects from iCloud to shared folder on the MacBook Air.

Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's.

Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's. My Phone will show up in iTunes, my wife's wont. After plugging my wife's phone into my Win 8.1 pc and check Sync over wifi, I hit the eject button, could this be the reason? Or might it be the different Apple-ID's? If the answer is the first, is there any way tohave iTunes forgetmy wife's phone so I can addit from scratch?

Ello,
I know this, but thats in the past now sadly. The question is: Why wont my wife's iPhone show up in iTunes via wifi?
Is it because I pushed the eject button? And if so, is there any way I can make iTunes forget my wife's iPhone and *** it from scratch again?
Or is it because the phones uses different Apple-ID's?

HT204053 I have two iphones with different numbers that I use my apple ID for purchases, etc. How do I get my second iphone setup on icloud? I would like to use the features of icloud for both of my iphones. Thank you

I have two iphones with different phone numbers that I use. I have one of them set up on icloud now, but do not know how to set up my second device on icloud. Both of my iphones use my same Apple ID for purchases, etc. Is there a simple way to add a device to my icloud account? Thank you in advance for any help someone may be able to give me.

To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.

HT1206 I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple IDs. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when synchronizing iPhone with iTunes?

I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple ID. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when sync iPhone with iTunes?

Hi again,
After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:

Sorry for any confusion - hope this helps!
Cheers,
