Two iphones one apple id and master reset

Here is my issue. I just got an iphone 4s for my hubby and did a master reset on his phone. I lost all the data after that. I also use my own apple id on his cell. Will that affect syncing data, music etc. on either phone?I am trying to fugure out the best way to have the phone working properly. So, on that note, should I have one apple id or two?
Thanks a bunch!

that's right, sync it with your library but also make sure that your sister does not do it again as it will keep changing.
You may wanna disable contacts sync with the iCloud on her device by taking her device and go on settings, iCloud & switch off contacts.

  • Two iphones,one apple account and icloud backup?

    my wife and I both have iphones with only one apple account, I did the icloud back up on my phone and everything is fine, but when I did hers it shared all of our contacts, now I have two diiferent accounts set up for itunes, do I need to create another apple account for her phone and can we delete the contacts that were put on our phones without losing anything else? Thanks

    If you are sharing an iCloud account do not start deleting contacts on either device.  Doing so will delete them from iCloud and the other device and they will be lost.  To prevent merged data like this you need to have different iCloud accounts on each device.  You can continue to use the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores; it does not need to be the same as your iCloud ID.  To fix this, first decide which phone will be getting the new iCloud account.  Then on that phone, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the other person's data from your account (such as deleting your wife's contacts from your iCloud account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.  When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

  • 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 iphone one apple id

    Is it possible to manage two iphone with same apple id and avoid sharing sms?
    Currently when my daughter receives an sms my son also receives it.
    Thanks,

    Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Uncheck any number/email that does not belong to the device
    Note: The little blue (>) will give you an option to remove the number/email from the device
    Note: Check this setting on any device(s) using the same Apple ID

  • Two iPhones, one Apple ID, contacts combined

    We recently added my father-in-law to our group cell phone plan and got him a new iPhone 4s. A few weeks later his iPhone got locked up. He went to an AT&T store for help, they said he needed an Apple ID and password to unlock his phone. I gave father-in-law my Apple ID and password since that's what his phone was linked to... when we bought his phone we used my Apple ID for him. Father-in-law unlocked his phone successfully with my Apple ID.
    Here's my problem:
    Our contacts and emails became combined after the "unlocking". I have all of his contacts and email accounts combined with mine and he has all of mine combined with his on his phone. I know I need to unlink his phone to my Apple ID and create a new ID of his own.
    Here's my question:
    How do I separate these combined contacts? I don't want to unlink his phone and loose all of his contacts.
    This is an important factor:
    My father-in-law is deaf, non-native English speaker and very old so I have no idea what exactly he did to unlock his phone. Not a clue.
    BTW all iPhones mentioned are 4s with iOS7

    that's right, sync it with your library but also make sure that your sister does not do it again as it will keep changing.

  • Two iPhones- one apple ID

    My daughters phone was contacted to my iPad . I now have a iPhone and both phones are contacted to the one account . She doesn't want my texts and vice versa ,but neither do we want to loose pictures and data . How do we get round it ?

    Having separate AppleIDs won't affect your photos. What some families do if they want to share purchases from the iTunes/App Stores is to share an ID for the that and then each have their own Apple ID for iMessages/Facetime/iCloud.

  • We have two iPhones, one iMac, and one iTunes account. Can someone tell me an yeast way to manage each iPhone separately- that is -- when we connect each iPhone how do we keep our contacts separated? this is a real problem. Thanks

    We have two iphones , one imac , and one itunes account. Hope someone can tell me an easy way to synch each iphone so that our contacts stay separate. I would like to share itunes music etc but not synch the same contacts to each phone...major problem... Thanks!

    You have a few options which are detailed here:

    i have two iphone one is iphone 5 and othere is iphone 4 . can i use same id for both ? And do i have to purchase the application again for iphone 4 which i have buyed for iphone 5.??

    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 an Iphone with one Apple ID and have just bought a new macbook where I have created a different apple id (its complicated!!) how do I syc the calendar on Macbook with iPhone, bearing in mind the different IDs

    I have an Iphone with one Apple ID and have just bought a new mac book pro. How can I syn calendar from mac book with Iphone if the two devices have different apple IDs?

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

  • 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...
