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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Two iphones, one iTunes account, two icloud accounts

    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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
