Two iPhones, One Mac, how to Sync Both to same Mac

We (wife and I) have two iPhones. I want to put the same data from the Apple Address Book into both iPhones.
Any advice appreciated.

Plug it in and set it to sync whatever you like.

  • 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.

  • Husband and i both have iphones...how to sync both to one itunes acct but keep separate info.?

    We both have 3GS iphones.  We want to sync using the same computer, same iTunes, same music, but different content (don't want same calendars, contacts, etc.). I keep seeing where you can choose how to sync separately, but am doing something wrong because we keep getting synced the same, as though one phone acct.  Step-by-step info. please.

    Here are your choices explained in detail:

  • Two apple ids, two computers, one phone#-how to sync messages on on both computers

    Okay apple world, I'm a bit stumped with this one: I have two macbooks, one for work (a 2009 15" macbook pro) and a personal one (2014 13" macbook air) and two apple ids, one for work and one personal one. I also have a 5S iPhone, which I use for both work and personal use. The iPhone has been set up with my personal apple id and my iMessages sync perfectly with my personal macbook air. Now what I would like to do is sync my iMessages through my phone number with my work macbook pro. But when I try to add an additional account, I am only given the option to add a google account or I am told that my (personal) apple id is already in use. Has anyone encountered this issue and do you have any tips on how to trouble shoot through this?

    Sync is about synchronisation to Lightroom Mobile, the iPad/iPhone app, not about synchronising from one computer to another. There isn't really a way to sync two computers automatically, but you can use methods such as File>Export/import as Catalog, Dropbox, or copying through the operating system.

  • Two iPhones, One Mac, Need advice

    My wife and I are going to upgrade our one dumb phone to two iPhones.
    I understand that it's best to have two separate Apple ID's so as to differentiate between her and my phone, correct? -- We want text messages for her to go to her and messages for me to go to me.
    It's not possible to have two Apple ID's on one e-mail, so what's the best solution for a second ID?
    Any other advice/suggestions appreciated.

    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 users, two iPhones, one Mac

    I'm trying to help out some friends who I've just helped get started with a new Mac and iPhones and have a question for which I can't find the answer. Their Mac is setup with two user accounts, each having iTunes configured separately, and each person has their own Apple ID. If only one person is logged into his/her account and plugs in their iPhone for sync or charge...there isn't a problem. But what will happen if one of them inadvertently plugs in their iPhone while the other user is logged in? Will iTunes for that user recognize it's the wrong phone for that user and not doing anything...or will something get messed up?

    Thanks, I think it's too late.
    You can try the "help" button if you like.  I think it's still active.
    I'm somewhat surprised at the likelihood of confusion you anticipate - the folks synching using the wrong accounts.  I guess it's just me - being signed in to someone else's account is something that would simply never occur in my world.  Some folks are just not as attentive to details, I understand.

  • Two iPhones one Mac

    I recently bought my own iphone and have set up my own icloud account. My boyfriend has had an iphone for awhile and has also set up icloud for his iphone and his Mac. I am also sharing the Mac and was wondering if I would be able to set up a seperate icloud on the same Mac. I do not want to share an icloud account on the mac because I don't want my information syncing with his and vice versa. Is this possible? Please excuse me if this question sounds ignorrant. i am actually completely new to the apple community all together. Thank you for any advice.

    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 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...

  • 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

  • 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 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
