Two iPhones, two laptops

I've two iPhones, work and personal, and two laptops, work and personal.  I'd like to have "one version of the truth", i.e. one calendar, one list of contacts.  If I add a contact/event on one phone or laptop, all four devices have the same infomation.  Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

This can be done if you have Outlook 2007 or later on your computers by syncing all 4 devices with the same iCloud account.  On you two phones, go to Settings>iCloud.com and sign into the same account with the same ID and turn syncing for Contacts, Calendars, etc. to On (if prompted, choose Merge).  This setup is described herehttp://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.
Then on your computers download and install the iCloud control panel for Windows and sign into the same iCloud account and check iCloud syncing for Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks with Outlook ( and any other data you want to sync with iCloud) as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.

    I like to start from the begining. Empty iPhones & empty iTunes. Reset all.
    How do I restet all My iPhones and iTunes. And make empty even My iTunes account?

    I like to have two tottaly different iPhone set-up. Different applications and
    different music, and different contacts. (I have two account!)

    Apple Gift Card) iPhone name: ChristianPaprika
    2 ID: PaprikaChristian (iPhone purcased in Budapest, Hungary use with credit card) iPhone name: PaprikaChristian

    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.

  • 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 accounts?

    How does the setup work with two iPhone families with only one computer? Is iTunes smart enough to only sync an iPhone with the correct account even it is connected and the accounts are switched? Or will it try to sync any iPhone to any account that happens to be open? It does this with iPods and it is really annoying, but it could be disastrous with iPhones. I don't want my wife's email accounts/contacts/music suddenly replacing mine on my iPhone just because she doesn't remove the phone before switching accounts.

    During the installation, it will ask you if you are activating more than one iPhone---if you are choosing a family plan from AT&T. [You are not choosing individual plans for each phone right?]
    So after the first phone is activated, you plug in the second iPhone and then go thru the same process. [Adding a second line to the AT&T family plan]
    Once the second phone is activated, you can choose not to sync your mail, music, photos etc. on the second iPhone
    That is, your iPhone will act just like an iPod--have your family member log in to their Mac OS X account on the Mac and then sync their own music and stuff onto the iPhone.

  • 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.

  • Two iPhones, two google accounts won't sync to both

    I have two iPhones, my wifes and mine
    I have two google mail accounts, my wifes and mine.
    When I set it all up all appears okay.
    However, iTunes only seems to hold the last Google Contacts login details, therefore when I sync the phones they hold the same Google Contacts.
    Anyone help me out here?

    iphone will sync itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, then it will erase the current content from the iphone and repalce with content from the new computer.
    This has always been the design of the iphone.

  • Two iPhones, one laptop

    I have an iPhone,  iPad,  iTunes account and one laptop. My daughter will be getting an iPhone for her birthday - so, my question is, is she able to open a new iTunes account from my laptop (her laptop is broken) and download her music from the same laptop? So, two iTunes account from one laptop - Thanks.

  • 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?

  • Our household has two IPhones, two IPod Touches, 1 IPad and 1 computer. we want to have it all under the same Apple ID for the purpose of Home Sharing, but my two kids iPODs cannot use their facetime or messaging becuase it shows they are on my iphone.

    HELP! We have several Apple devices in our household (2 iPHOnes, 2 IPOD touch, 1 iPAD), and cannot get them to work correctly becuase my two children have to be under my creditcard and apple account. When I do this they cannot send me messages or facetime me, and when then try to do so with their friends it says my name and IPhone. Also, my husband and I want two seperate credit cards for iTUNEs but want to take advantage of the home share, but the one computer we have will not let us share. and had to have 2 apple ids created. WHy is this so confusing? Cant I reset everything under my Apple ID, and allow everyone to have their own email accounts and identity? ON top of all this, I have two AppleIDs, because my original one was a yahoo account and they changed over to me.com, now icloud.com/ HELP

  • Two iphones, two different phone numbers, same apple id, will imessages work?

    I have two different iphones on a family plan with verizon, phones A and B.  Each is associated with a uniqie Apple id, lets call those apple IDs C and D.  So Phone A has apple id C, Phone B has apple id D.  I'd like to register both phones to Apple ID C for in imessages, although the phone numbers themselves will continue to separately be registered to Apple ID C and D.  Once i do that, presumably all imessages sent to same apple id C's email address will appear on phones A and B.  But will imessages sent to phone B's phone number also appear on phone A, or will those only appear on Phone B?
    Many thanks.

    Yuu can also
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Two Iphones, two Computers, two itunes

    I am sure this was posted I just can find it.
    I have two computers and two i phones. My wife has all the music on her computer. Can set it up that I can get her music on my i tunes to sync to my iphone or do I just need to get the music from her computer and the rest from mine, like my contacts and such.

    I have a similar issue - 2 computers, 2 iPhones, 2 iPods, one each for myself and my wife. We have a 115 gig library on a NAS but we don't seem to be able to use it the way I'd like. It seems pointless to duplicate the library on both machines, or even more bizarre - duplicate it on the NAS itself. Is there no way to have one location for the actual music files with separate library files for each of us? I'm happy to "import" the listing into my .itl file, but I don't want to have to create a physical copy of each imported track - that's a waste of space.

  • Two iPhones, two iTunes accounts, only one Mac

    I am sure hoping there is a simple way to use my iphone, my wife's iphone, our own separate iTunes accounts [and music libraries] on one MAC. How do you set that up and keep it all in synch??? Please help?
    Thanks!

    My wife and I have done that, and yes, it gives you two separate music libraries, two separate address books, two separate calendars, etc.
    In fact, many (but not all) of our contacts are the same; many (but not all) of our calendar entries are the same; many (but not all) of our iPhone apps are the same, etc. Is there a convenient way to sync some of this stuff, or keep some of it in a shared database?
    And it's sort of a pain having to know my wife's App Store password as well as mine, just because sometimes my phone develops the misapprehension that it should be synced with her account rather than mine (or vice versa).

  • Sync overlap with two Iphones, two ITunes accounts, one computer

    How do my wife and I stop getting each other's contacts, calendars and downloaded apps when we sync our Iphones? We have two different ITunes accounts. She logged herself out of her account and then I logged myself into my account, I deleted one of the apps (her downloaded App that synched onto my Iphone) under the App Tab. I logged out of my account then logged into her account - I opened up the App Tab in her account and found the app I had deleted from my account was deleted from her account also...What is going on here? I thought these were two separate accounts? How can I make them separate?
    Would be very grateful for assistance in sorting this out.

    Sorry for being unclear, when I said "new user account" I meant a new user account on your computer, not a new iTunes account, for example a new Windows user. As a new user you'll get a new, empty iTunes library. And your device will be erased during the first sync.
    Apps can only be used with the account you bought them, so you can't share them or use them with a different iTunes account.
    To copy your apps and data to the new iTunes before syncing, back up manually, here's how to:
    Set up your iTunes account, disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
