  • How does syncing apps with more than one iPhones work?

    Me and my girlfriend both has a iPhone. I was wondering do I have to purchase the app twice for both iPhones?are apps tied with my computer, the phone or my iTunes account? Assuming I purchase it from my mac there's no way to say which iPhone it is for so I assume I can use of on both phone? But what of I bought it from the phone?

    Yes you can do this. It works just like music, you do not have to purchase an app twice if, for example, you purchase an app and then would like to also put it onto your husband or wife's iPhone. You can authorize up to five computers to "hold onto" the app and allow it to be synchronized down to the iPhone. I did this with two computers, mine and my wife's, synching to two iPhones, mine and hers. There's probably a limit of 5 iPhones too, but I don't know for sure.
    You can simply email an app, or put it onto a CD or external storage device to move it to another computer, and then authorize it on the additional computer.
    Here's what you need to know:
    Go to iTunes on a computer that has the app. Top left, Library menu, click on Applications to display the applications which are on this computer. You'll get a big screen that says IPhone and IPod Touch Apps, and icons for each. Right click (Control-click if you have to) to get the contextual menu, and select "Show in Finder." All of your apps should be residing in the resulting folder. Grab one or more of them and email or copy to a CD or external drive (or transfer by network) to get the app onto the additional computer. On my computer this is the "Mobile Applications" folder in my iTunes Library; this appears to be the default location. Of course you need to put the app into the correct default folder on the new computer.
    Once the app(s) is on the new computer, it may not show up in iTunes (look in the same place; in other words, open iTunes, go to "Library --> Applications" top left). If it's not showing up in iTunes, then simply go back to the folder (the actual app in the finder) and right-click and select Open With --> iTunes. That'll force it to show up. Your goal is for the app to show up in iTunes on the "new" (additional) computer. Once it shows up, you are almost there, although it is not yet authorized, so if you go ahead and sync with your iPhone on this additional computer the transfer will fail.
    To authorize it, simply double click on the app IN iTUNES, right there in the Library -->Applications view. A window will pop up and say you are not authorized to play this (just like it does when you try to play a song you originally purchased on a different computer). The user name that is displayed will be the user name of the original purchaser. Enter the password of the original purchaser. You are good to go. If you added multiple apps, they will all become authorized on this additional computer with this single authorization action, you do not have to repeat the authorization for each of them, as long as they all were purchased by the same user.
    Proceed with syncing the additional iPhone using iTunes on the additonal computer. You are done. Enjoy!
    This will work with no regard to AT+T accounts, it's not related to them at all. You can have five authorized computers, including the one which originally purchased the song or app. You can send an app to a friend who lives in a faraway place and allow him to authorize his computer to play your apps and songs. Note that he will be able to play all of your apps and songs forever until you deauthorize his computer. This does not mean he will have access to your account in any way; simply that he will have general authorization for any songs or apps you send him; he won't need to re-authorize any new things you send him. In order to allow you to maintain control (change your mind) there is an option in the iTunes Store (Account button) which allows you to deauthorize ALL computers on your account, if you wish to reauthorize individual computers again.
    The apps and songs are simply password protected. If you send one to someone they won't be able to use it unless they know your password, and you can allow this up to five times (for five computers).

  • Can you sync Ipad with more than one computer?

    I am just curious, can I associate my Ipad with more than 1 computer.  I have a desktop and a laptop both with itunes and same library.  Can I sync the Ipad on both computers without it totally erasing the Ipad or should I only sync it on one computer?
    Than kyou in advance for the help.

    In theory - If the libraries are identical, yes it should work. Keeping the libraries identical might become a little challenging. You may want to make sure that you always manually transfer purchases whenever you sync to each computer to make sure that all content is always being transferred into each iTunes library and I would think that you would want to backup each time you sync as well. And you might want to sync with the one computer right after you sync with the other computer so that all of your data remains intact in the backups of both computers.
    You can always check by giving it a try and see of you get the "this iPad have been synced to a different computer" message and see what happens. If the message pops up, just cancel and don't sync.
    However, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you absolutely have to for some reason.

  • Anyone with more than one iPhone 6/6+ in same order getting there phones shipped if all your phones didn't have 9-19 when you ordered?

    Our Verizon account has 10 lines and I figure we're paying over $7,000 a year, when I think of how much money total we have payed to Verizon only to be jerked around and around and lied too over and over again really does make me sick.  6 of these contracts have ended and 3 will be up in next couple months and 1 has a year left so the cancelation fees would not be that bad. And with the other big carrier I've heard it might be cheaper on monthly service. All I wanted from Verizon was for them to do whats right.
    I Ordered
    iPhone 6 16gb  gray
    iPhone 6+ 16gb gray
    iPhone 6+ 64gb gray
    iPhone 6+ 64gb silver
    all on the same order. I finished at 3:19 am est and got a date of 10/14 even though all the phones except the 6+ 16 gb gray had 9/19. Got confirmation email at 4:56 will ship by 10/14 I got worried that all the phones would not ship till 10/14 and contacted verizon thru facebook messenger. They told me my phones would ship in the order received and not be held up by a phone that wasn't available in my order. And based on the time of my order she said 9/19 for the 6 and 6+ silver, 10/7 for the 6+ 64 gray , 10/14 for 6+ 16 gray. On Monday morning my status changed to 9/19:):) in the afternoon in changed to unknown. I called 611 and rep went thru all my phones with a time sheet she had and said i should get all but the 6+ 16 gray on 9/19, she said that one you had to order by 3:00 to get on 9/19. On Wednesday my status changed to 10/14 , called 611 again and this lady told me all my phones had 10/14 listed after them. She told me she didn't know  what to tell me that Apple ships the phones and its out of Verizon's hands because they don't have the phones. then she told me to call Apple (and gave me the phone # ) and see if they ship preorders with more than 1 in a order when their available or wait till all are. I called them ( they laughed that Verizon had me call them) and they don't hold up orders . Called customer service back and guy said at least 10 times ....I ASSURE YOU VERIZON WILL NOT HOLD YOUR PHONES!!!  i said of course they're not actually putting them in a box and waiting for all, they're sending them to other people who ordered after me. I asked him if my order could be separated/ rebuilt and do a (jump the line request)  so i could get my phones when i should. He said there is no such thing at verizon....he has worked there many years and if there was he would know. Someone posted # to Internet orders so i called them Thursday morning, spoke to a very nice guy he said my phones that i should get i would and i should get an e-mail later that day and if i didnt get anything by 8:00 pm to call back. Before we hung up i asked if I didn't  get anything did he know if they could cancel/separate/rebuild and do jump the line, he said they can do that and put me on hold while he spoke with a supervisor, he came back and said if nothing happened that day they would do that with my order. I got nothing, called Internet orders back at 8:30pm... went thru my history and asked them to do the rebuild. She transferred me to supervisor who REFUSED to rebuild my order, that is only for orders that have a technical error. She was also the first person from Verizon to tell me that they DO NOT  ship orders in multiple shipments, they will only send when everything is available. She then said your order was given a delivery date of before 10/14  and that's when you'll get all your phones. I let her know that there is nothing about that confirmation that tells me that the phones that I ordered that had 9/19 deliver by dates would not be delivered then, 9/19 is before 10/14.

    Same thing happened to me!!! They made a shady business move and they should be ashamed. Placed a pre-order for an Phone 6 and an iPhone 6 Plus at 2 AM on the 12th and got my pre-order in line just like everyone else did that morning. The 6 said delivery by 9/19 and the Plus was already back ordered to 10/7 but that's fine, I expected the Plus to be harder to get anyway. Being that both phones were eligible it made sense to just place one order given this hasn't been an issue in the past. However, Verizon moved my iPhone 6 pre-order delivery to coincide with the back ordered Plus so they don't have to ship each phone separately!!! I have to wait for something on backorder while the other is ready so they can save on shipping cost. I expected the one that I pre-ordered IN TIME FOR A 9/19 delivery and waited my turn "in (on)line" like everyone else I should get that when it told me that in the checkout, THEN send the Plus when it becomes available. I even have the confirmation email that says "Deliver by 9/19"!!!  Every company you order from sends you the backorder item when it becomes in stock, they don't wait and hold the entire order for it. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!

  • While syncing iPAD with more than one pc my old data on iPAD lost

    Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
    Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
    Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
    Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?

    You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time. That is why iTunes erases the old data from the previous sync. You can Manually Manage music and videos - but that is different than syncing.
    Manually content manually on iPod, iPhone or iPad
    Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
    Yes. you can select exactly what you want to sync - music, apps, photos etc. Just do not unselect any content in iTunes that you want to keep on the device or it will be erased when you sync.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
    Yes. But you have to sign into the ID that you want to use on the iPad in order to sync that from that ID.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. You have to remember to keep switching back and forth if you use two ID's.
    Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
    This will tell you what iTunes backs up.
    iTunes: About iOS Backups
    Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?
    Restore your device to factory settings.

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • How to sync up more than one iphone/ipod to a PC

    I'm frustrated because i've run into a problem and its really cumbersome to fix.
    i have several ipods and me and my girl both have iphones (5 ipods and 2 iphones).
    we have one PC.
    when i sync up my ipod, i can xfer music and videos to it w/o problems but if i connect her ipod it wont allow me to xfer music to it. i can dock it and see it but simply gives me the black cirle with a slash thru it, denies me adding playlists to it.
    same with iphone. i literally need 1 PC per ipod/iphone in order to sync up the music and movies we want on them.
    how does one copy over their music onto various ipods if you only have one PC. all our music is stored ont he PC. to fix i would need to create a virtual OS, then copy over all my music onto it to sync up but i find it hard to believe that apple did not think of this?
    the expected result while using itunes...is to be able to sync up any ipod or iphone to itunes, and be able to copy over any playlist or movie.
    i have bought all my dvds and cds and ripped them, whay am i not allowed to place them on more than one ipod or iphone?
    Message was edited by: Host

    thanks for those tips. i looked at those links. they are helpful but i dont need to create user profiles nor link to other music libraries.
    why it fails...when i dock a 2nd iphone it sees data on it....the expected or desired result is, it just leaves data there but allows me to add more. this is the part i cant get past.
    i did try making a new user account and multiple libraries, but still same problem.
    my ultimate desire is to be able to connect more than one iphone to same PC and xfer data to it and also take the iphone to another PC. so the idea is to move my iphone from work and home and have it sync up with data thats on each one.
    the auto sync and auto start when i dock iphone is disabled.
    but when i sync up it somehow senses this iphone docks at another PC and does not recognize the media on it as being on this PC.
    i deally i dont want to clutter each PC with the same data. i'd like to just keep the music and movies on the iphone and merely add from different PCs. meaning if i dock it at work, it wont have the same music or movies on it. basically i dont want to add redudant files to it that are already on my home PC, i just wish to add music from my work pc to it.
    sometimes my wife comes to my workplace and notices i ripped a new album, she wants to dock her iphone and xfer it over, but itunes wont allow it, popping up a message saying she has to wipe it in order to sync up with.
    i'm not sure why the ipods wont allow me to sync up music, it sees the device and shows playlists but if i try to add a playlist i get a little black icon stating its denied. i'm not worried about ipd right now. its the iphone i'm trying to figure out, how to get past this problem.
    originally it started with one PC to do everything but since we could not we decided to start using our work computers. and now that we sync up to them we cant freely sync up to home PCs now, hence the frustration.
    i'm trying to figure out how to use iphones between multiple PCs, single PC. it all seems so complicated yet all we want to do is simply dock, and xfer over data (all PCs are disable auto sync), we jsut want to specifically sync up only particular playlists, movies, wallpapers.
    for contacts we gave up on outlook as we get some itunes outlook error about a service failing so we do it via yahoo.
    we export out outlook contacts to yahoo and simply use yahoo to merge contacts.
