Two iphones synced with one account

My brother and I have our iPhones linked to the same account and are having issues. He has an iPhone 5 and I have an iPhone 4. My problem is that I sometimes recieve messages from his friends who don't even have my number, after a discussion we realized it was because we are on the same account. I have turned my iMessage off, but must keep my data plan on to recieve mms messages, yet I still receive messages from his friends(they show up as regular texts) which just makes for a confusing mess.Is there someway I can have data on and not recieve these messages while still being on his account for my itunes?

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

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

Two iPhone's with one iTunes account?

Hi,
Can someone tell me what will happen with my iTunes account assign to iPhone if I will give that iPhone away and buy new one. To be precise I am planning to buy new iPhone in June/July through O2 here in UK and give old one to my wife who is got Pay as You go SIM card from O2 as well, which work fine with my iPhone now (even data transfer but that cost £3/Mb at this moment!). I just wonder what will happen to all my Apps in my iTunes account when I will try sync these two iPhones then? I guess it’s not possible to share the same account between two iPhones. What are my options here?
Thanks in advance.

There is nothing that prevents you from sharing or using the same iTunes account with more than one iPhone. If your wife has her own iTunes account, when syncing this iPhone with iTunes when she is logged in to her account will transfer her iTunes account to the iPhone for access with the iTunes store and app store on the iPhone.

My wife and I have 2 new iphone 4's but one current iTunes account. How do we sync with one account?..or do we need to have 2 itunes accounts?

My wife and I recently purchased 2 new iphone 4's. I have an itunes account with tones of songs. How do I sync the phones with my itunes account? Since there are 2 phones, do we need to open a second itunes account? If so, is there anyway to transfer music from one account to another?

You can both share the same iTunes account for iTunes content, but you need separate Apple ID's to use iCloud, iMessage, FindMyPhone & FaceTime. The Apple ID's for iCloud, etc. MUST be verifiable email addresses. If you don't setup separate Apple ID's for this suff, you'll have a mess on your hands. Here's Apple's support document on using multiple devices on one computer:

Is there any way my wife and I can have our two iPhones sync with our one iPad via the iCloud?

Currently we are using her apple ID but I'm wondering if we can both sync.

What do you mean by "sync with our iPad" exactly? A litle more detail ???? What do you want to sync?
If you use the same ID on all devices you should be able to sync across all devices with iCloud - as long as you are using only one iCloud account on all three devices.

I have two iphone 4s with one apple account how can i separate them.

I have two iPhones working off one account

I have two iPhones my partners and my own working off iCloud and it does not seem to work my numbers are on her phone and viva versa. Also when we send each other a I message hers does not register as a message on my phone instead when I go into messages I see her message with my name beside it and she does not even get my messages what should I do

Welcome to the Apple Community.
One of you needs to use another Apple ID and hence iCloud account, doing so will resolve all your problems relating to your data getting merged with your partners.

Multiple Iphones sync with one computer

Can I set up two Iphones to syn with a PC Laptop? How?

Yes, multiple iPhones can sync with a single computer. I do not know the limit, probably harddrive space of the computer. Just open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, select iPhone in left column of iTunes, click Sync button of iTunes. When done, connect other iPhone and repeat steps. You can keep the iPhones information different and always separate or you can restore them from the same back-up and keep them similar.

Is it possible to sync two iPhone calendars with one iPad?

Both myself and my husband have recently got iPhones and I can get one to sync to my iPad but not both would be really useful to see both on the iPad so I don't need to keep asking him what he's up to and visa versa???

From an older post in the forum:
There's an app for that!
LookeeLoo (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lookee-loo/id385456868?mt=8) will allow you to view other people's Exchange calendars.
People are correct when they say that EAS (ActiveSync) does not support querying another person's calendar, so LookeeLoo uses EWS (Exchange Web Services) to query Exchange 2007/2010 calendar information.

How to sync two iphone agendas with one mac ?

Dear all,
This is my first question here, and I looked it up, but so far I didn't find a satisfactory answer
I own a MacBook Pro and iPhone, that I keep for private stuff.
Recently my employer provided me with a new iPhone for work. Both therefore have different Apple ID's
I would like to sync both calendars to my MacBooks calendar, and possibly private iPhone, so I don't have to keep my work iPhone with me all the time.
How to proceed ?
Thanks

Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

Can two iphones sync to one itunes library?

I know the answer to the basic question is yes, as I'm doing that now. But if we've both been sharing one itunes store account....
So when iCloud came out, it requires your own appleID. So if both of us have a different ID, will we have trouble syncing on the same itunes mac?
ie,. will there have to be a "log in / log out" in the itunes store each and every time a sync occurs?

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.

How to set up two iPads, different locations, one account.

How do I set up two iPads in two different States with one account. My 89 year old father can not do the details of setting up an account but I want him to have apps and have even gifted him a bird guide. Now it sits in his in box because we don't know how to download it without an account.

Obviously your father will not be able to sync with iTunes, but somehow I don't think that is going to be an issue.
You can set up the account on your iPad, or computer, whatever, and then have your father sign into your Apple ID on his iPad. Settings>Store>Sign in. He will need your ID and password in order to download apps or other paid content.
However, he does not - nor do you need to set up the account on his iPad. He just needs to sign in to the account.
This is not really ideal - separate ID's would be the way to go, but if you are essentially maintaining the device and springing for the apps - it will work - if you want to share an ID.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.
