Two discounted iPhones purchased, one discount-eligible line?

I have an iPhone 4S that is 'not elegibile' for full upgrade price at the moment. I bought my fiancée an iPhone 5, adding a new line to my account in the process.
I initially ordered her 5 from Apple's online store, paying the fully discounted price ($299 for iPhone 5 32GB). But it said the phone wouldn't arrive until Oct. 5. So, I decided to try my luck in-store on launch day.
I was able to buy a phone in-store at AT&T on launch day, which was great. They charged me the discounted price ($299) and my fiancée is very happy with her new iPhone. I planned to cancel the one ordered online, but it shipped that very day before I could cancel it.
I called AT&T to ask what to do, and they indicated that if I don't return the online-ordered phone, Apple would likely go back and charge me additional money. I called Apple today and the rep sounded shocked that I had even been able to place two discounted orders, and said AT&T would likely see that I had gotten two discounts and charge me the full price after the fact.
I wasn't trying to rip anyone off or beat the system, but at the moment I have 2 iPhone 5's, each bought at the discounted price. Has this happened to anyone else in the past? Will Apple charge me extra somehow, or will AT&T? Or are these orders complete and I just somehow got 'lucky'?
I'd prefer to keep the 2nd iPhone if I can do so without being charged some ungodly fee in the next couple of weeks. Does anyone have any experience in this situation, or advice on what I should do?

One of them will likely catch this and charge you. So, the right thing to do would be take the phone you got from Apple and return it. But then, I'm an honest guy and that's what I'd do.

How can I use two differant iphones on one itunes

I can i use two differant iphones on one itunes, and keep the content seperate?

You can sync as many iphones/ipod/ipads as you like to one computer.
Each is different and is recognized as such

Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

No you don't. You log into iTunes with your Apple ID but you can use one Apple ID for iTunes and a different Apple ID for iCloud. On your device go:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and sign in with a new Apple ID
This will only change the Apple ID for iCloud and both devices will continue to download apps and backup to the shared iTunes account.

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.

Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

How to use multiple iPods with one computer

Two new iPhones. One for the wife one for me. How do we share apps

I have two computers. One is my wife's and one is mine. My new phone is synced with my itunes and my computer and the other phone is synced her to itunes on her computer. Question is that we only by music on one of the two compters and then through our home network we share. How does it work with apps? Will the apps I buy for one iPhone transfer to the other iphone, or do I have to buy it twice?

Each user can select the music and/or apps that he/she wants. Once selected, iTunes will remember which songs an apps each user has selected next time the phone gets sync'd.
Apps that are on either phone, but not on the computer, will be added to the apps on that computer. This allows the second phone to get the app.

Syncing two sets of contacts on two different iphones using one computer

My wife and I both have an iPhone. We have one computer, and we would like to be able to sync our own contacts to our specific phones. i.e. she doesn't want all of my business contacts on her phone. We run windows, so all of our contacts sync with outlook. Help!

Log in your computer using a new user account. Then you should be able to set up your own contacts and events or itunes setup.

Two new iPhones. One runs slow

My wife and I both have new iPhones 4s.
Both I phones are set up the same. But her phone runs really slow on Internet. Siri doesn't work very often. Lots of dropped calls.
Is this a bad phone or is this something that apple is aware of?

I'm having the same problem with my phone. Very slow and Siri hardly ever works for me. I've tried re-booting it several times. Very dissapointed. I'm going to the Verizon store tomorrow to have it checked out. Has anyone had this problem corrected?

Two separate iPhones syncing and backing up to one centralized iTunes library?

Hi all,
My wife and I have two iPhone 5s' and am wondering if we can sync and back these two separte iPhones to one iTunes library? The library is located on a NAS drive on a share just labeled Music.
Ideally I would like to keep the two backups and syncs separately but have the ability to load playlists and albums from the centralized iTunes and iPhoto library.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

This article covers what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
As long as the phones have different names you can set different sync settings for them in iTunes. However, if they have the same Apple ID for iCloud any iCloud content (mail, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders) will be duplicated. The way to deal with this is to have different iCloud accounts on each device, but use the same Apple ID for the iTunes & App Stores. This way you can share music and apps.

Synching 2 3Gs iPhones to one iTunes account on one computer

I have a few questions regarding synching two 3Gs iPhones with one iTunes account on one computer.
I had synched both phones (mine and my wifes) to our desktop computer but saw that apps were being placed on both of our phones and contacts were being added to both and duplicated.
1. If I try to synch my wifes iPhone to a her laptop with a new itunes account and it asks about erasing the data, will it get rid of the photos and contacts? I have looked this issue up and no one really seems to know.
2. If I try to synch both iPhones to the desktop with the original itunes how do I avoid the issues of transposing apps, contacts being added to both? Several answers out on the Net say to make two seperate accounts. Does that mean two seperate "iTunes" accounts? Or two seperate profiles on the desktop computer.
The main reason I need to do this is because my wifes iPhone is about two or three firmware updates behind. I would like to update her firmware and back up all of her apps and contacts. I am backing up her photos to Shutterfly just in case, because if something happened to those I might not be around to see iPhone 5. hahaha j/k
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions,
1. If you manually backup your wife's phone before you sync for the first time to the laptop, you can save all data and settings of the phone and restore from that backup again after the initial sync.
Here's how to backup manually:
Set up the same iTunes account on the laptop, disable autosync in iTunes/Settings/Devices.
Connect the phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup" iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to the new library.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

How to back up and restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
How to download apps for free again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
2. If you're syncing both phones on one computer, either create a second user account on your computer, log in and do the same manual backup process as described above, or, take the time to set up each phone individually, including the settings for calendars and contacts, which apps to sync, etc.
iTunes will remember the settings for each phone and you'll only have to do this once.
You can only use apps on different devices if you're using the same account you did at the time you bought them.

Cash discount on Purchases at Two Levels

Hi Guru's
I have an issue on Cash discount on purchases. My client has a discount facility with the vendor at two levels:
1. On the base price (After this discount Excise Duty is calculated)
2. After Excise Duty but before VAT (Local Tax) calculation. ie. after this 2nd discount VAT is calculated.
I have created two discount condition types and assigned them in purchase pricing procedure. However, the system is taking bot the condition at Base Proce level and calculating.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to meet my client requirement.
Thanks

Hello,
Have you chosen the correct 'from' line?
It sounds like you referred to the base amount line instead of the subtotal line after excise duty... or is this line missing? Then you have to add it and change the 'from' field in the 2nd discount line.
Regards,

Need simple instructions on how to setup/transfer iphone purchased on eligible line

Scenario:
I did not have an eligible upgrade for my line but I had one for another line under my plan; therefore, I went in and purchased an iphone for that eligible line. The issue is that I actually "desire" the iphone for my line.
Here is where my question comes in:
I have seen multiple conflicting responses on how this should be done....some say to activate iphone on eligible line then re-activate old phone on that line, then move iphone to my "desired" line....others say just to activate the iphone on my "desired" line from the getgo...
Can someone give me the definitive answer on what method/steps I need to take to get this done?
I just received the iphone and it is just sitting in a box because I don't want to screw this process up until I know for sure what to do.

Can someone give me the definitive answer on what method/steps I need to take to get this done?As you stated, activate the iPhone on the eligible line, complete the activation, perhaps make a test call just to be sure it IS activated on that line. Then turn it off. Pick up your now inactive old phone, dial *228, option 1 and re-activate it. If it tells you to call customer service or for some reason will not re-activate, then call customer service from a land line or phone other than the ones involved in the swap.
Once the old phone is re-activated and the iPhone is deactivated, turn the iPhone back on and dial *228 option 1 to activate it to the # you actually want it on. make sure the phone that is currently active on that number is turned off. Again, if it doesn't happen, call customer service from a number/phone not involved in the swap and they can help you out.
I just received the iphone and it is just sitting in a box because I don't want to screw this process up until I know for sure what to do.
Hope it all works out and the iPhone is all you anticipate!

HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one? It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs. I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one? It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable. I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years! I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community. Thank you all.

No,
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
