Two iPhones one 3G- one Original

I have the 3G. My wife reluctantly took my original iPhone and now LOVES it.
Here's my question. It's activated- number working great- It will sync with her iTunes, but all my old stuff is still on there. Web pages, contacts and iCal.
Is there a way to rename the phone AND make it hers-- plus keep some of the old web apps that I already have onboard? Thank you very much. Dan

If she has a separate log in on the computer, and those items were checked to sync, your contacts/events may have already been merged into hers. In any case, in the Info tab, at the very bottom, there are check boxes to overwrite the data on the iPhone for those items at the next sync. Check those, and the data from her current Address Book and iCal will be written over whatever is on the iPhone.

    Hi,
    I have two iPhones, one  privat, one from my company.
    I would like ...
    ... to have all music, apps, books bought via iTunes to be on both iPhones - use same Apple ID for iTunes account?
    ... seperate calender, contacts, todos - use different Apple IDs for iCloud?
    Is there still a way to have all pictures taken in one common photo stream?

    I have the same question.  My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate?  I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options.  How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account?  Please help

    You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

  • I have two iPhones, one is a 4s and the other is a 3g. I have not used my 3g in some time now. I recently restored it but I cannot use it without a sim card, it says i have to "activate it."

    I have two iPhones, one is a 4s and the other is a 3g. I have not used my 3g in some time now. I recently restored it but I cannot use it without a sim card, it says i have to "activate it." I cannot place my iPhone 4s sim card in it (too small), and i do not want to get a new contract or sim card for an iPhone that i do not ues very much.

    Thanks for your help, but i cannot borrow a noral sim card now, my family has all up graded to iPhone 4s's, i have done this before, but one of my family had the same type of iphone so i could use theirs. Now i am the only one who still holds on to their old phone... I am not sure about buying an adapter...

    If the iPhones are identical models, the iOS update will only be downloaded once.

    I have two Iphones one is 4 s and the other is Iphone 5 can I use another e-mail account in the same Itunes account that I have?

    If you're asking whether you can connect one device to two itunes store accounts, the answer is no.

  • Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (Impossible?)

    Please can someone give me a straight forward answer to this question? I have read through the other similar forum questions and I still don't feel that I have found a definitive answer / solution.
    Is it possible to do the following please:
    Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (i.e. three devices that all have access to and update the Photo Stream as photographs are taken)
    If so, how?
    If not, am I really the only person that wants to do this?
    Thanks (in anticipation).

    Create a free email account at gmail, yahoo, outlook.com, or one of the other email services and use that to create the second Apple ID.
    Also, create separate user accounts on your computer for each of you to avoid unintentionally mixing up your data.

  • Two iPhones - one syncs reminders, the other doesn't

    I have two iPhones - one is a work-issued phone (an iPhone 5), and the other (a 5S) is my personal phone. I've also got an iPad Air. All of them have the most current iOS (8.1.3). For some reason, the Reminders app on my 5S won't sync with the other devices.
    If I create a reminder on my 5, or on my iPad, or on iCloud, it will instantly update on all of those devices. But not on the 5S. If I create a reminder on my 5S, it seems to upload to the others (and, actually, I did it just now and all of a sudden it synced everything else from the other devices).
    Any ideas why my 5S won't pull down updates on Reminders?

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested (I think I've tried that in the past, to varying degrees of success) and once I turned sync back on, it did download the current list of reminders. However, when I created one on the 5, it still hasn't shown up on the 5S, some 15 minutes later (although it immediately showed up on the iPad). I'm puzzled as to why that one phone just won't seem to sync like the others do...

  • Two Iphones one Apple ID problem

    I have two iphones one on the same Apple ID one that I just restored and updated with itunes. But now when I hook up my other phone to sync it to get some ring tones it keeps taking me to set up device as new or from back up how to get past this screen. My backups from the device I synced is backed up on my computer but my other Iphone is backed up to the cloud. Please help me

    If I setit up as new it will wipe it clean if I am correct so Imnot sure what to do.

  • How do i sync one itunes account with two iphones, one ipod touch, and a nano?

    I need help in how to sync the one itunes account we use as a family with the two iphones my wife and i have and an ipod touch that my son has and a nano that my daughter has. Please help.

    That article applies, as far as I can tell, to all things called iPod X where X can be nano, touch, classic etc.
    We don't have two iPhones in the family as yet but as I understand it each device can have separate settings for syncing calendars and contacts. For example my iPhone syncs these over the air with the Exchange server at work so if/when my wife gets an iPhone it would be easy to have hers sync to our computer
    To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • Two iphones one itunes

    There are two iphones in my household. Only one will show up on the itunes list. When either one is pluged in itunes syncs both the same. How do I make it see two different iphones so each can have different folders?

    This didn't happen all by itself. This happened by you choosing to transfer the backup for your roommate's iPhone to your iPhone followed by a sync with your roommate's selections under the various tabs for your roommate's iPhone sync preferences with iTunes selected for and transferred to your iPhone as well. Or you selected to sync contacts with the same supported address book application on the computer as your roommate for your iPhone sync preferences and the same for apps.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each device synced with the same iTunes library can have the same or different sync settings which is selected under the various tabs for the device's sync preferences with iTunes.
    If you choose to sync contacts with your iPhone with the same supported address book application as your roommate, then the contacts on each iPhone will be the same. If you choose to transfer the same apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes as your roommate, the same apps will be installed on your iPhone. The same for photos, movies, tv shows, books, and podcasts.
    If you want your own iTunes library, create a separate computer login account on the computer for yourself.

  • Two iphones one computer/itunes account?

    I have two iphones (first generation and 3g) and I am looking for details on how to connect and setup the phones to one account while still keeping our stuff separate. I really don't want to have two accounts.

    The easiest way to sync specific contacts is select specific groups or folders form the contact manager, in iTunes. Each iPhone will have its own specific sync settings. More detailed information available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    If you want, you can separate things a little more by creating an alternate iTunes library or user account. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 was written for using multiple iPods with a single computer but it's the same general idea for iPhones, they are very similar.
    You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhone with the same iTunes account and library and each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes.
    You can disable automatic syncing for each iPhone, or disable automatic syncing globally with iTunes when any iPod or iPhone is connected.
    If both iPhones are syncing contact information with the same compatible address book, you won't be able to keep contact information separate. The sync process for contact information is a bidirectional or true sync process with the supported application on your computer.
    If you want to keep contact info separate between the iPhones, create a user account on your computer for the 2nd iPhone for syncing contact information and/or calendar events only. The 2nd iPhone can sync iTunes content only with the current computer user account and iTunes library, and sync contact information and calendar events only with iTunes via the new computer user account.

  • Two iPhones, one MacBook - sync/backup question

    Hi all, I've read through many posts, tech articles etc and still have this question...
    My wife and I both got 3G(S)s about eight months ago. She backed up/synced her phone to her PC only once since then. We would like to be able to back up her phone to my MacBook now instead of her dying PC, and also load my HUGE legit iTunes library from our CD collection onto her phone. Also, she is not interested in having my contacts, bookmarks and whatnot synced to her phone.
    My question is, will it be possible to use one computer/iTunes to share the same iTunes music library, while saving her contacts, calendars etc separately? Stated otherwise, will iTunes back up two separate iPhones and allow the syncing of a common music library?
    Thanks and have a great day! MMM

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes and iTunes creates and maintains a backup for each device.
    When syncing two iPhones with the Address Book and iCal under the same computer login account, the contacts and calendar events will be the same in the Address Book and iCal and on both devices. There is an option to sync select Address Book Groups and select calendars only with each iPhone, but the contacts and calendar events with both devices will be available in the Address Book and iCal.
    If you want to keep contacts and calendar events completely separate, you need to create a computer login account for your wife. You can enable Fast User Switching to make the process of switching between multiple computer login accounts a fast and easy process. An iTunes library can be shared between multiple computer login accounts. Your iPhone's backup will be updated and stored under your computer login account, and your wife's iPhone backup will be update and stored under her computer login account.
