Two iPhones, Two computers, one for home, one for business.. Best iCloud setup?

Hey, I am about to upgrade to iPhone 5; meaning I can dump my office Blackberry and use my iPhone 4 for work instead; so my setups will be:
Home: iMac, iPhone 5, iPad
Business: Windows laptop, iPhone 4
So my iPhone 5 for home docks with the iMac; the iPhone 4 docks with the Windows laptop; and both are run as independently as possible, with very different apps.
Initially I planned to get a new Apple ID for my Business iPhone, so that I could have bookmarks synced between my Windows laptop and iPhone 4.
However, I realised that - as I use my existing iCloud account for my calendar - I would not have any Home calendar events in my iPhone 4, so for example, wouldn't be able to book appointments for business whilst being sure I didn't have holidays from my Home calendar stored there.
So now I'm thinking of using the same, existing iCloud account on both phones. I will have to lose bookmark syncing on the work phone, but at least I'll have both calendars on it as well.
What do you guys think is best? Any other ideas?

Can I setup my second iCloud account using the same bank card as my first? (I only have one bank account)
Don't see why not, I've got two iTunes accounts with the same credit card.

    Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades?  How can I resolve this?

    For example you can activate on your home computer and  another that you use for travel or work. You cannot let someone use that second computer at the same time you are using the first.

  • Two iPhones on same MobileMe account but one keeps turning a calendar on.

    Hello. I have two iPhones that I have connected to one MobileMe account. We do that so certain calendars, notes, etc will sync. I have a certain set of calendars turned on on one of them and a different set on the other. I made a new calendar for bills and one for other reminders that we both don't need. Turned them on on one and off on the other. On the one which they are turned off, one of them keeps turning back on after it is switched off. I have not been able to determine how long it takes but it eventually does turn on because the next time the reminders are supposed to come up it is definitely on there. Any idea why this might be?

    But could I at least use the Find My Iphone app on the second Iphone if I just leave all the other Icloud options off?  If I activate Find My Iphone on the second phone, will it just show two Iphones in the menu when I search for the Iphone on my Mac, or do I need to set up a second Icloud account for the second phone?
    That will work just fine.

    Ejects the harddrive?
    Of what did your old Mac die?
    It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere.  Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

  • Two iPhones two separate calendars?

    I use my iPhone for work and play, wifey uses her for play only.
    I have a lot of calendar entries via Exchange (work) and she (as a result of us sharing a single account via iTunes) gets all the updates etc that I get as a result.
    Does anyone know how I can prevent this - ie two iPhones, two iCal calendars?

    When she syncs her phone to (presumably?) your itunes, she needs to UNCHECK the calendar sync in the info pane or else she will continue to get your events.

    You have to follow the process outlined here to recover contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup..  Otherwise, as you have noticed, the recovered contacts are overwritten when your device reconnects to iCloud.

  • Two iPhones, but iTunes makes me use one Yahoo 'contact' account

    I have two iPhones. I use iTunes through a single Windows user account. iTunes lets me have separate sync configurations, e.g. different playlists, different picture options, for most sync options, but it is not allowing me to define separate accounts when syncing contacts. I'm trying to sync Yahoo! contacts. The sync part works fine, but I need to have different accounts configured for each iPhone. When I 'configure' the contacts account information for one iPhone, the contacts account information is changed for the other iPhone.
    Is this a bug? Does someone know how to fix this issue? Please don't tell me to use another Windows user account for the second phone. There's no rhyme or reason why all the sync options but this one are per iPhone, and this one isn't.

    Suppose I authorize another computer to use my current iPhone 5 and sync apps to that computer. Then I get my iPhone 6 and sync my apps to this new phone. Then I change the apple ID on one of the two computers. Would leave the installed apps on both devices? I don't have the new iPhone yet as I'm waiting to get an unlocked GSM version directly from Apple so I can't try this right away.

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

  • Two iPhones, two iTunes accounts, one PC

    Hi. Is it possible to update/back-up two iphones using one PC? We have two iPhones, each with a seperate iTunes accounts, but would like to update the iPhones software using iTunes on one PC.
    This has come about because we can't seem to update the software for one of the iPhones using the laptop we normally use for the one iPhone. We've tried everything, but we keep getting an error (no. 9006). I have spoken to Apple, and they say it is my anti-virus software blocking the update. However, I have completely uninstalled the anti-virus software (AVG) and tried the update again. This didn't work either.

    Creating a second account in windows would be the easiest way to separate your accounts on one PC.

  • Two iPhones, two contracts, both ring when one is called after upgrade to iOS8

    I have two iPhones 5s, one private, one for business. They have different numbers and use different carriers/service providers.
    They use both the same Apple ID for any iTunes store, Apple store or iCloud purposes.
    I've upgraded them both to iOS 8.
    When now someone is calling me, using either the private or the business number BOTH iPhones ring. This hasn't happened before and it's rather annoying and bad.
    Is there a way to stop this behaviour?

    This is a new feature to allow sharing of a cellular connection.  To disable it, either use separate iCloud IDs for the phones, or turn it off in Settings/ FaceTime/ iPhone Cellular Calls/ OFF.
