Syncing multiple Iphone to one Itunes account

I would like to know up to how many Iphones can we sync with just one Itunes account ?
I need to update 13 to 14 Iphones periodically

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs.

  • TS1474 Syncing multiple iphones from one itunes account

    My wife and I each have our own iphones. We use just one itunes account on our main computer at home. We each have our own apple ID's.
    My question is this: Whenever we try to sync our phones to itunes, this screen appears
    I have NO IDEA whaich of these to choose, because I have no idea, what's on each of these backups!!! Invariably, I end up syncing to something I don't want, and having to totally redo all my apps, contacts etc... My Wife's facebook contacts seem to always wind up on my phone! Help!!
    How do you keep backups up to date and organized?

    If you want to continue using one computer, you should at least give each iPhone a name.
    Settings > General > About > Name: give each iPhone a unique name.

  • Can you sync multiple iphones to one itunes account

    Yes each phone will have its own syncronisation so you can set what goes onto those phones independently of each other

  • Syncing multiple iPhones to one iTunes account on my iMac?

    When we bought our four iPhones last November using the Family Plan with AT&T, we all had our own computers, two Macs and two PC's, and our own iTunes accts. So of course we all synced our phones to our own accounts on our own computers. Now I'm wondering if that was wise? I have bought several applications since 2.0 and the App Store opened, and I'd like my husband and two teenage sons to be able to sync to my computer and download the apps I've bought so we don't have to pay a fortune to get them on each phone. Is it possible to do this? I know iTunes allows syncing of up to five devices on one computer. So does this apply to the iPhone and the App Store too? If so, how do we go about doing this? I do know my teens won't want to lose their own iTunes accounts on their own computers. My husband won't care. He will want to go the route that saves him money.
    Thanks in advance, Debbie

    My wife and I share almost everything...so when we purchase apps, we use the same Apple account. We have one account with AT&T with two phones. We also have one account at the apple store and charge everything to a specific credit card that has a very low monthly ceiling. This allows us to download the apps to our iphones from different computers. When I buy an app or download a free one, she logs in with our account and is eligible to download the app too. I think it is OK with Apple but have not read the fine print of the agreement.

  • Can I sync 2 iPhones to one itunes account but have seperate yahoo contacts

    We have 2 iPhones and want to be able to share the same itunes account which doesn't seem to be a problem. However we can't seem to have separate yahoo contacts synced with the two separate phones. It wants to keep putting my wife's contacts on my phone or vice a versa. Now our Yahoo contacts are all mucked up. Any help would be appreciated. I can't believe we can't do this.

    You can sync many devices to one itunes account. I, for instance, have two ipods and an iphone on one account. They all have different setting and contents, but still only sync to one itunes account.
    Yes you and your wife can use one itunes account.

  • Can I sync 2 iphones to one itunes account?

    My wife's iphone arrived before mine. We only have one itunes account so far, mine. Will I have to open an Itunes account for her or can I use mine for both phones?

  • Multiple iphones using one itunes account

    I'm fairly new to the itunes world and was wondering about the ability to sync multiple iphones to a single itunes account. I have the iphone 4s and have it synced with my itunes account...my boyfriend recently left the dark ages and is now using my old iphone 3gs, unfortunately he doesn't have a computer or access to the internet way out in tim-buck-two. We were curious as to whether or not he could use my computer with itunes already downloaded on here...of course he would have his own apple ID. Will he be able to have access to all my playlists and music so he can use my music as well? I sure would appreciate any help anyone can give me!

    This is great news as I've been struggling with this issue for some time. Mainly because my wife is a little old school and likes to put music on CD's and this solves that problem. Thanks again!!

  • Setting Up Multiple iPhones On One iTunes Account

    Our business supplies iPhones to our technicians out in the field and I've set each phone up under the same iTunes account.
    Can someone please help me out on the below things that I need to be able to manage?
    I need to be able to back up each iPhone to the work iTunes account on a regular basis, so that I can restore the data if needed. (Windows pc)Is this just a matter of plugging the phones in and setting up as a new iPhone and giving each one a individual name (tech 1, tech 2 etc)? I know it will mean that they'll loose all data and I'll have to set each one up again.
    I would like it if each of the phones can share any apps purchased (music is not used but some productivity apps have and will be purchased)
    I need to ensure that none of the phones share any user sensitive data (messages etc)
    I had a massive issue with all the phones recently - They were duplicating iMessages accross all the technicians phones.
    I've rectified this by disabling iMessages, but is there some way i can allow them to have iMessage without all the phones (which are on the same work iTunes account) duplicating messages or any other user sensitive data?
    Thanks in advance!

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers. I have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

  • Sync multiple iPhones with one iTunes

    Can iTunes 8 on one system, sync and backup multiple iPhones?
    Tnx

    Can you provide some details on how you set this up? I have been tinkering and currently have an account for me on our iMac and an account for my wife. My original thought was I needed to sync my iphone when I was logged on and she would need to sync hers when she was logged on. But I want to be able to buy songs, movies, etc on itunes once and be able to sync to one or both iphones. Also want to be able to have our own contacts but also share common ones. Also would like to be able to each have our own calendar, but share appointments/events that are common, so we only have to type them in once. Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? Is any of this documented in an iTunes/iPhone advanced user manual? Thanks for any help. best wishes.

  • Syncing multiple iPhones with 1 iTunes account questions.

    Hello community.  Just had a few questions about my iphone and my wifes.  I have had an iphone for almost a year now and have had my login email address and password set up since the beginning.  I have the iphone 4.  My wife today received her iphone 4s in the mail.  I also currently have my iphone set up on the cloud to sync my contacts and calendar.  We also have an ipad 2 which is set up through the cloud and I am the only person who uses this for work purposes.  One of the main questions I have is how can I sync her iphone and mine using the same iTunes account on our Mac book we have and at the same time not have every purchase or app downloaded onto both phones?  I use a few apps for work which she doesn't want but if she was to sync with the cloud or itunes she doesn't want to constantly delete the app or un-select it from syncing to her phone.  Also we do enjoy playing some of the same games especially against each other but is ther a way for her to have her own seperate login for either downloading apps or a different login for getting into the game center?  Also since we share the same wi-fi network at home is there a way to make it so that when I get home or she gets home and had downloaded apps while away that they don't automatically get sent to each other's phones or the iPad which I use for work?  Sorry if I'm a little bit of everywhere with the questions but just trying to get this resolved the best we can.  Thank you for all your help!

    " how can I sync her iphone and mine using the same iTunes account on our Mac book we have and at the same time not have every purchase or app downloaded onto both phones"
    Each device will only sync what you select to sync.  If your wife does not want an app, then she should not select it to sync.
    " Also since we share the same wi-fi network at home is there a way to make it so that when I get home or she gets home and had downloaded apps while away that they don't automatically get sent to each other's phones or the iPad which I use for work?
    Again, if she does not select them to sync, then they will not sync.

  • How do I back up multiple iphones to one itunes account

    I'm sure this is possible, I've seen it where there are numerous back ups listed on itunes for different devices, and how you can hover over each to see the IMEI and serial number etc.
    All my devices have the same apple ID and I have a PC with windows 8.
    I backed up an iphone 5s back in February. Now I want to back up this iphone 6 that I have borrowed from work so I can restore this one on to my own new iphone 6 if that makes sense. But when I connect the borrowed iphone it just asks me do I want to restore it from the 5s back up or as a new device like this:
    If I press new phone will it reset everything that is already on the phone I borrowed? Or will it then allow me past this screen so i can set up a separate back up?

    Make sure each iPod has a unque name and just connect the iPods to the computer one at a time. Check the apps and other items that you want synced to each iPod.  Also see:

  • Multiple iPhones on one iTunes account

    Is it possible to use two iPhones on the same computer with the same iTunes account? Ie my wife and I sharing the same computer.

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

  • Syncing two iPhones with one iTunes account, archive and install

    I had a blue screen and had to archive and install.
    I re-synched my iPhone and at that time put my iPhone contacts in my address book with
    my group name, that I just created. I created a group for her and now want to re-synch her iPhone
    with my computer and with my iTunes account, like before. I get a message that the info on that her iPhone is synched with another user account. A choice to merge info from this user account or replace info from this user account. I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under
    her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.

    I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.
    You should select the Merge option. If you don't, the existing contact information in the Address Book on your Mac will replace all contact info in her iPhone's address book.

  • How to sync multiple devices to one iTunes account

    Just have a question here,
    I have an iPod nano, my sister bought her iPod touch a few years back and we've had them on the same iTunes. She has her apps on there and they don't sync to my iPod obviously because i have the nano. This has been working fine. However, my father wants to sync to my iTunes because he wants some of my music and some of my sister's apps, but not all of them. Is there a way that I can create a "playlist" for him to have only his music and apps sync to his iPod? I haven't created an iCloud myself because it would be of no use to me. But, can I set one up for my father using my iTunes and have only some of the certain music and apps on there?
    Sorry if this is a bit confusing but I would really appreciate some help!
    Thank you.

    Connect the iOS device, select it from the left column under "devices" and just don't check those items in iTunes:
    Un-check the appropriate boxes for Contacts, etc. You can set these individual preferences for each iPhone and iPod Touch.

  • Syncing multiple ipods to one itunes account

    I have two ipods nano's and two shuffles. I'm having difficulty getting the twonano's to sync to aone account. One is recognized, when the second is plugged in, the sync ipod options is greyed out and not available. I haven't got past this to try the shuffles yet. Any help? All of the directions that I find state that it should plug and play by merely plugging the second in in and selecting sync......

    Check your update preferences. Click on the picture of the iPod in the left pane of iTunes. This will bring up the tabs in the main pane to the right. In the first tab "Summary" check to see if your iPod is set to "manually manage songs and playlists" if it is remove the checkmark and the one against "enable disk use" and click "Apply", your iPod should sync automatically after that.
    If it's not set to manual and still won't sync then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
