Syncing multiple iphones to the same imac and sharing the same ical
I have 3 iphones in my household. is there a way to sync all of these to share the same ical?
Yes.
There is no device limit for the number of iPods and/or iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each iPhone can be synced with iCal and the Address Book under the same computer login account. Each iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes and iTunes will maintain a separate backup for each iPhone, which will be updated for each iPhone as the first step during the iTunes sync process.

I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac. Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others. How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx

Syncing my iPhone 4s on both iMac and MacBook
Help!
When I got my iphone I only had our iMac, which was what I org. synced my phone to. Since then I have purchased a MacBook and connected it to my MacBook (without any data loss, that I know of) I do remember receiving messages of such the first time I plugged it in but have been syncing it to my MacBook for over a year now. My iphone is still on OS 6.0.1, I want/need to update to the new OS but it tells me I need 4.0 GB of storage for the update. Well when I connect my iphone to my Macbook it shows I have 6.74GB of (OTHER DATA) I had a WHOLE bunch of pics and vids in my messages.... I have went through and deleted a TON/MOST of my messages, I still have 6.74GB off (OTHER DATA). However well over half of my apps are not showing up in my itunes acct. on my macbook and when I try to do the update it, it says you have purchased material on your iphone that has not been backed up and that I will lose if I do the update.
So to simplify
1. How do I get rid of the almost 7 GB of Other Data so I can do the update
2. Is there a way to get everything on my macbook so I can simplify down to just it without losing everything in the process, again so I can do the update.
I have macs but do not fully understand the way they work together, however, love how they work together! Is that possible? LOL
If I haven't provided enough info please ask!
Thanks In AdvanceWhen I sync from my phone to macbook it does not sync over half of my apps that I have on the phone? Will I lose them if I do the restore from my macbook? Or should I connect to my iMac and do restore? How and where do I copy my iTunes info from? where is it hidden on my hard drive?

YOu can get all your pictures back by restoring from your backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 assuming you have one, if not then your pictures are gone.

ITunes - syncing multiple iPhones and avoiding apps going on the wrong handsets!
Hi all,
I work for a small telco and i sync multiple iPhone handsets daily to my iTunes on my work PC, the problem i'm having is when the customer wants there applications transferred to their new handset, I have to sync the applications to my itunes and then put in the customer Apple ID password and transfer the purchases. Then what happens is the customers go to update their applications on there handsets and it comes up with another random apple id to update the app. How can i stop this from happening???
Please I need your Help!!!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.

An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library.

why do I keep having the problem of authorization. I only have 3 devices authorized when I am allowed 5. I can't sync my I Phone 6 plus on I Tunes. When I try to sync I get the message that this computer is not authorized and I have to go to the store tab and authorize the computer. I do that and then get the message that this computer is already authorized. I try to sync again and get the message that this computer is not authorized and go yo the store tab. It's a never ending story. How do I fix this?
Hello lenmin,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.

I justtryed to sync my iPhone with a new laptop and lost my itunes library from the phone. I'd already moved iTunes to the laptop. What did I do wrong, and is there a way to reclaim the library?
Was the music purchased from iTunes?
Can you sync other music to the iPod?
What happens when you try to sync?
When you switch syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the new computer. Did you do that?
You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers -
Does anyone know how to sync my iphone 5S with my imac 10.6.8 - which doesn't support icloud and can't be updated to do so.
Apple tell me that it is a vintage computer now and I must throw it away and buy a new one. Where is their social/eco conscience ...
we are living in hard times trying to survive and trying to keep our businesses healthy. Now is not the time to buy a new computer.
What is Apple playing at??????You plug the phone into your computer and go to the Info Tab for the device in iTunes. Select what you want to sync. You should not attempt to sync with both iCloud and the local contacts on the Mac.
Are you having some kind of problem doing this? -
When I went to sync my iPhone, I accidently hit restore and it made my iPhone have all of the settings of my iPod Touch, erasing my iPhone pictures and contacts. Is there any way to get everything back?
Not to doubt you, but something sounds fishy. I can see accidentally clicking Restore, but to load your Touch's information you would have had to select your Touch's backup file after restoring, which would be hard to do by accident -- unless your iPhone and Touch have the same name?
In any case, your iPhone should have its own backup file on your computer. You can click Restore again and this time select the iPhone's backup file (there should be a device name and date associated with the pop-up window at the end of the restore process). This process will erase your iPhone, reload the OS, and then when you select your backup file then all your iPhone settings, data, sync options, etc. will be re-loaded, including your media (if you auto-sync ... if you manually manage music and video on the iPhone then you'll need to re-select the items you want loaded onto it). -
Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.
Windows XP user.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

i have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it. what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing my contact lists and purchased apps?
okay from reading posts it seems if I transfer my backed up info from my old comp to the new one and erase my dad's phone's back up i could reset my phone and it would transfer all my old data back onto the phone, be linked to the new computer and i could proceed. Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?

my iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!
If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?
