Syncing two iphones each with different email accounts

My wife and I each have an iphone. When I sync mine with itunes, my password for my yahoo mail account (as reflected on the iphone) gets changed to my wife's password. The result is that I cannot send email from my iphone. When I delete the account and add it back, the password automatically changes again. My wife's phone does not have this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Once you have your iPhone syncing email properly for each phone (one at a time), next time you're in iTunes, click on iPhone, then the Info tab then scroll down to where you can choose to sync your email accounts. Since you already have it synced, you can uncheck it. This way it won't get overwritten. If you ever need to replace ALL your email settings you can have it sync again.
Do the same with your wife's.
My wife and I use the same iTunes and get conflicts all the time for this and for Contacts. I'm sure there's a way to have them coexist nicely, but I wouldn't sweat it. Once your mail is working, there is no need to continuously have them sync.

  • CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

    Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
    Thanks,
    trippj

    Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
    It worked for me

  • How to back up multiple iphones/ipads with different icloud accounts but same apple id

    I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
    All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
    The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
    Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
    Thanks.

    With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
    But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.

  • Using multiple devices in iTunes, each with different iTunes accounts

    My husband and I are trying to go from 2 computers to 1 in the house, but cannot figure out how we can run iTunes on one computer, with multiple iTunes accounts and NOT download each others apps, music etc automatically. My son also has an ipod which I want to have as a separate account.
    We still want to be able to share some of the downloads amongst each other - but selectively, and not have them automatically downloaded as they would if there were all on the one library / account.
    From what I can see on the online forums I can create a new library for each device to stop the automatic transfer of purchases, but then cannot find how we can select what we do and dont want to share amongst each other, or if this is even possible with multiple libraries.
    Is there a way that I can do all of the following:
    Have multiple devices on 1 computer in iTunes
    Each device has its own iTunes account
    Each device retains its own library
    Each device can select what purchases we want to share amongst the devices, without it automatically transferring onto each device?
    Many thanks!

  • Two iPhone's with one iTunes account?

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me what will happen with my iTunes account assign to iPhone if I will give that iPhone away and buy new one. To be precise I am planning to buy new iPhone in June/July through O2 here in UK and give old one to my wife who is got Pay as You go SIM card from O2 as well, which work fine with my iPhone now (even data transfer but that cost £3/Mb at this moment!). I just wonder what will happen to all my Apps in my iTunes account when I will try sync these two iPhones then? I guess it’s not possible to share the same account between two iPhones. What are my options here?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is nothing that prevents you from sharing or using the same iTunes account with more than one iPhone. If your wife has her own iTunes account, when syncing this iPhone with iTunes when she is logged in to her account will transfer her iTunes account to the iPhone for access with the iTunes store and app store on the iPhone.

  • How do I sync my iphone to a different itunes account?

    My whole family has been using the same itunes account for years now, but because of the recent updates we are receving eachother's imessages. We literally have all went in the message settings and changed the options for just our own phone numbers but we are still receiving each others so I decided to get my own account to get rid of this problem. I have went on my iphone and changed my messages, facetime and itunes to log on to my new id, but when I am logged on to my new account on my computer, my computer is not letting my iphone sync to this new account. So long story short, how do I sync my iphone (and ipad) to my new account? (I know that I will lose the music from the other account, I just need this fixed)

    sure

  • Can I have one itunes account, but have two devices that used different email accounts?

    I have an iPad2 and want to buy an iPod Touch for my daughter.  I want it to use her email address, but use my itunes account.  Can that be done?

    The Apple/iTunes ID (which is a email address) is seperate from any mail accounts yu have on the iPod/iPad.  Both devices can use the same Apple/iTunes ID but have different email address for the mail accounts on the devices.

  • HT1386 if we have 2 iphones, each with different contacts and calanders, how do we sync them separately on the same itunes account?  how do you switch icloud accounts?

    how do you change apple id on icloud on iphone 4 if you already have chosen an account?

    itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts.  It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users.  That way you share purchased items.  But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.

  • How to sync two iphone agendas with one mac ?

    Dear all,
    This is my first question here, and I looked it up, but so far I didn't find a satisfactory answer
    I own a MacBook Pro and iPhone, that I keep for private stuff.
    Recently my employer provided me with a new iPhone for work. Both therefore have different Apple ID's
    I would like to sync both calendars to my MacBooks calendar, and possibly private iPhone, so I don't have to keep my work iPhone with me all the time.
    How to proceed ?
    Thanks

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • How can I sync two iphones to the same itunes account without deleting

    My husband & I both have iphones & we share the same itunes account. He just got a iphone 4 and we are trying to transfer his music from the old phone to the new one but we are unable to do that. There is a msg that says if we choose to sync all the songs will be replaced with music from the itunes library. So does that mean he will lose all the music on his phone, replacing it with my library? Help Please!

    I asked a simular question. It is confusing indeed.

  • Setting up imessage with different email account

    I am trying to set up my daughter's ipod touch to receive imessages via her email address.  This is different address than our apple ID.  I keep getting an error message when it tries to verify the email address.  Anyone having this issue?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
