Two Different Sync Accounts (Address Book) for iPhone

My wife and I both have iPhone and sync our phones with iTunes.
She has all her contacts synced to the "Address Book".
Is there a way -- I can add mine to the Address Book as well without her getting all my contact as well when she sync's?
I do NOT want to set up another user account.
Any hints?

You could make a group of contacts call "Rohit" in address book and then go into iTunes with your iPhone connected and click "Sync Address Book Contacts" then click "Selected Groups" and only click Rohit contacts. Then do the same with your wife's iPhone and select her contacts.

  • How to format numbers in Address Book for iPhone

    I am planning to get an iPhone within the next few weeks and have begun entering all the numbers from my current cell phone into Address Book so that I'll be able to sync it with the iPhone. Since I never had to sync these numbers with anything other than my .Mac account, they are all entered like this: (555) 555-5555. Do I have to format them differently so that I will be able to use them on the iPhone. And do I have to add a "1" for each number or can I have the iPhone add that automatically?
    Thanks.

    entering like your example works fine. Just remember that if your entering phone # outside the US use the "+" symbol. example +46 35 46678 67

  • How do I combine two different itunes accounts, one from an iphone 5 and the other from a macbook running 10.6.8?

    Hello community,
    Recently purchased an apple tv and as we were setting it up we came to the realization that wifey's itunes on her iphone has a different apple id - hence different account BUT she was able to download her original itunes account content to the iphone. Anyways we just want to merge the two libraries - actually since most of the music is on the macbook, we really just want to load the iphone content back to her orginal itunes account. Lots of posts out there but frankly Im a bit lost and nervous about losing anything(especially the playlists) so thanks in advance for any super simple and safe steps to take.

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • Merge two different email labels (Address Book)

    I have a big list of emails that I recently added to my address book.  Here's the problem: I already have about half of them in my address book but they won't merge because I have most of my contacts' emails under the "work" email label. The new ones that I'm trying to import are under the "email" email label.
    Is there an easy way to fix this? I want all of my emails to be under the same email label in my address book so I won't have any duplicates.

    You could make a group of contacts call "Rohit" in address book and then go into iTunes with your iPhone connected and click "Sync Address Book Contacts" then click "Selected Groups" and only click Rohit contacts. Then do the same with your wife's iPhone and select her contacts.

  • Can't Sync Contacts & Address Book on iPhone

    Very frustrated, software update today didn't help. I have MobileMe with iPhone. My iMac, MacBook Pro, and MobileMe "cloud" sync perfectly, but will not sync contacts or calendar with my iPhone, no matter what I do. Tried MobileMeSupport, but no help. I have already tried turning off/on sync in Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and have deleted and recreated account (5 times). Turned iPhone off/on. I just don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

    Pity it didn't help. Your problem sounded very similar to mine.
    The only other solution I can think of is to make sure any trace of the palm software it removed.
    Taken from another tech article -
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301201
    Before you remove a Palm OS device from your iSync device list, make sure that the Palm HotSync application isn't running. If it is, quit it, then remove the Palm device in iSync. Otherwise, the Palm device may reappear in iSync.
    Last thing would be to select 'Reset Sync History' from the iSync preferences.

  • Possible to add apps from two different itunes accounts?

    So my family just purchased an iPad and I was wondering if it was possible to add apps from two different user accounts without paying for them twice? My dad synced it up with his computer so all the apps from his iphone were transfered. I noticed that in the app store for the ipad you can switch between different accounts. If I switched to my username would it allow me to add apps that I've already purchased through my iphone or will I have to pay twice?

    Yes. My grandson did that to me and I had a heck of a time upgrading the apps he loaded because I didn't have his password. I ended up deleting them.

  • Sync address book with two different google accounts

    Im trying to sync my address book with two separate google accounts. I understand how this works normally through mail preferences and have it working with my personal email account but my university's emails are through gmail as well and i wanted to sync the same address book with me other gmail account. Please help, any info is much appreciated!

    I've only found workarounds for this. It amazes me this isn't available, but I've seen a lot of chatter about this throughout the web. The best temporary solution is synching your iPhone with Google as an exchange server and then synchronizing that with your computer through iTunes. Assuming you have an iPhone.

  • IPhone Won't Sync With Address Book

    I am asking this question for a friend who lives abroad. They have an iPhone which has been set up at work to sync with Outlook over the air. He wants to share some of those contacts with his wife who syncs using iTunes. I suggested to him that he syncs via iTunes to Address Book, makes two Groups in Address Book, one each, and drag the desired contacts to each Group then sync the phone again. She can then select the group she wants to use in the Contacts app. However, no matter what he does he cannot get the contacts on his phone to sync with Address Book. I think he may need to make a new account and populate it with contacts from Outlook, could anyone give me advice as to whether this is the right method?
    They are using iPhone4's running iOS5 and Lion 10.7.2
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It's a limitation of ActiveSync & the way virtually every employer wants it. Fact is, you cannot sync contacts from a work exchange account with a supported contact application on your computer.

  • HT204053 My wife currently has two different apple accounts as we changed our email address plus got a new computer. I believe that all of her info is under her old email address plus on the old computer. how can we merge the two accounts

    My wife currently has two different Itunes account as one is on the old computer with our old email address, Instead of changing the email address on the old account we created a new itunes account with her new gmail address. I just updated the new update for her iphone however I cannot get her contacts etc moved to the new phone as I believe they are all on her old account. It says I need as well to authorize this computer for the itunes store as well but in her account it says one computer authorized (old one) but cannot figure our how to get the new computer authorized as well.

    You should be able to authorise the account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)

  • Syncing Mac Address Book to multiple iPhone users?

    After updating my iMac to Mavericks I'm unable to sync my Address Book contacts to iPhones via USB sync.
    Our usage model is that we have one set of Address Book contacts on a Mac for everyone at home (easier to maintain) and then we create unique Address Groups for each family member. In the past we used the Info tab in iTunes to specify which address group should sync with which iPhone. It worked well.
    With the update to Mavericks the Info tab is gone. Apple wants users to sync their contacts via iCloud.
    Security concerns notwithstanding, I don't know how to do it. How can a family of iPhone users, each with a different Apple and iCloud ID, sync to the same Address Book?
    Thanks

    Thank you to Gemariah for the suggestion that I should seek to import Contact details via Yahoo but to be honest whilst that may be indeed a valid work-around it is nothing if not clunky.
    I have discovered that the PocketMac software is nothing to do with RIM although it is directly linked off their web-page: PocketMac do not appear to offer any real support and conversation with my network provider [ Vodaphone ] suggests that they regard the PocketMac software as little short of useless and a major source of problems.
    Certainly in my experience, it is useless: it has duplicated some entries and will not allow the additional entries to be deleted. Clearly one can only hope that the RIM software which they are advertising for release in September will solve the problem but given that there is no way in which one can talk directly to RIM other than via a chargeable conversation I wonder whatb the chances are of their version being any better. I just wish that I could treat my clients in such an arrogant manner and still make money!
    I would suggest that unless you want to spend time beating your head against a brick wall, do not use PocketMac software. It is a rubbish product, with support to match.

  • HT1918 How do i change my username to another when they both have accts with itunes one is on my computer and one is on my ipad? Two different e-mail address that are both mine....so how do i make one acct for both?

    If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
    You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

  • Same Apple ID for two different country accounts?

    Is it possible to use just one Apple ID for two different iTunes accounts? I've recently located to Australia from the uk and want to run an iTunes Store account in each but with just one apple id and email address. Can it be done?

    You have to be in a country to use its store (and an account can only have one billing address on it), so whilst you are in Australia you can only use the Australian store, you cannot use the UK store (including redownloading past purchases). You can either update your billing address on your existing account to have your Australian address on it, or create a new account with your Australian billing address on it
