Two phones, 2 apple accounts, one computer. totally different apps

Hi there,
I wondered if anyone had any help about this. In the sync apps section my apps are all there. If I plug my wife's iphone in then it tries to wipe all her apps and replace them with mine. This would get me in mega trouble so any help much appreciated. We have 3GS iphones with ios 4.

Last night i synced my mum's iphone on my laptop to update to the new OS 4.2 - It took about 40 minutes to back up then restored and reset.
After this is said restore from back up .... with a list.
The list didn't contain my mums backup only my previous backups on my account and my mums apple account no longer exists not only in itunes but all together.
I have been through the hard drive on my back and there is no data anywhere which shows the time and backup of my mums iphone.
The iphone is completely wiped and the apple account no longer exists, can someone help me and tell me if there is a way i can get the data back? i have used the iphone back up extractor and it isn't there - it must be somewhere as it took forever to backup.
Thanks

  • Two phones on same account, one roaming the other isn't?

    My husband and I both have the Samsung Galaxy S3. His phone has been roaming for days now, and my phone hasn't been. How can this be? We have a share everything plan that is nationwide. Will we be charged for roaming?

        adrysdale,
    Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your husbands line. We can definitely make sure to resolve this. Are you currently out of the country or near the border of another country? If not make sure that his LTE/CDMA is turned on in the Mobile Networks option of settings. If that is set up properly you can also turn off the mobile network on the device, then power the device on and off and turn it back on. Test this out and let us know if you see any change. If nothing we will proceed with different options. Overall, as long as you are not near an international area you will not be charged any kind of roaming fees.
    Thank you,

  • I bought my daughter an ipod. Can I have two seperate itunes libraries on one computer? If so, how do I set this up?

    I bought my duaghter an ipod. Can I have two seperate itunes libraries on one computer? If so, how do I set this up?

    I followed these instructions & have created a new library file. However, all my music now appears in the new library as well as my own. (I bought my daughter an ipod nano for christmas & want to separate itunes libraries on one computer). How can this be so difficult?

  • I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

    I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

    What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync.  Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes.  When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it.  Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone.  After selecting your apps then you can sync.  Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

  • HT5616 How can I use my apple ID to buy from different app stores (different countries)?

    How can I use my apple ID to buy from different app stores (different countries)?

    You can only use a country's store if you are in that country and have a billing address in that country on your account - are you in the country that you want to buy content from ? If you are then you can update the billing address on your account to be your address there (if using a credit card then that will need to have been issued by a bank in that country) via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes.

  • Apple account signed into two phones, need to remove one.

    Tried searching for this scenario but didnt find anything exactly like my situation.
    My wife got a new iphone and gave me her old one so i could play games (I have my Apple ID/ iTunes account). The old phone I'm using doesnt function as a phone anymore (no cell service) and I just use it on Wifi to download and play app.
    The issue is her apple iD is still signed into the iCloud and anytime she adds a new contact on her phone it also prompts the old phone to update.
    My fear in turning off the cloud is that this will impact not only the old phone but her new phone as I'd be making a change to her overall Apple account.
    My goal is I want to completely remove my wifes content from the old phone (either by disconnecting her account or by resetting the phone) and I want to be confident that by me doing so, I will not accidently impact her account or anything on her new phone.
    Can anyone confirm the best course of action and /or any risks in doing so?

    sure go to settings- icloud- scroll to bottom- delete account-
    it will not effect the other device or her account  at all
    Peace, Clyde

  • 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.

  • Two iPhones, two iTunes accounts, one computer, different music tastes!

    I haven't seen an answer to this question yet, though I have seen a theory. I haven't tried it just yet, but I decided I'd ask if there's an easier way.
    Myself and my girlfriend have an iPhone 4, and we both have our own iTunes accounts, with our own purchases. In addition to being able to sync purchased songs from one device to another, my problem is we're both using my laptop. Between the both of us, there's nearly 3500 songs. Not all of the songs she has on her phone I listen to, and vice versa. Is there a way to have seperate libraries, with our own songs checked in iTunes to sync to the desired device? The theory I heard is if there are seperate Windows User Accounts, iTunes will recognize their seperate iTunes libraries. But seeing as this is my personal laptop, and she doesn't use it for anything other than syncing her phone, this isn't completely plausible. Additionally, there's some overlap; we do listen to a bunch of the same stuff. Help?

    I would go with selected playlists. However, there are other options as explained in How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

  • Two accounts one computer

    I have two iTunes accounts.  Apple stated they will not merge the two accounts into one.  My wife has a third account, which also can not be merged.  So, now I have this really annoying thing where whenever I switch my accounts, I can not access my content for 90 days.  I can not fathom families that have one computer and tried to set up accounts for each of the family members.  What is the answer to this?  I have already sent a nastygram to Apple, but this appears to be the worst customer service idea on the face of the earth.  You can't merge accounts, nor can you have multiple accounts on the same computer.  Does apple think that families can afford a computer for each one of their children?  I don't know the answer to this, but if someone else knows, please inform me.  I can not access the material I rightfully bought and Apple is now withholding due to some 90 day restriction that was not in place when I bought the material.

    All accounts remain as they are now when installing on top of a previous OS, only the OS components and basic Apple apps update.  None of this has anything to do with iCloud, which is a separate issue.

  • Can there be two itunes librarys on the one computer?

    I am giving my PC to my parents and we will share it for a few months until I get myself a laptop. Both my mother and I have ipods and we both have separate itunes libraries. Is it possible to have both the separate libraries on the one computer - I guess under our separate user names and it not interfere with each others library? Will opening itunes under our separate usernames bring up the correct libaray?
    Thanks

    Yes you can have more than one library. The simplest thing is to have two separate user accounts then things are kept entirely separate:

  • Two copies of iTunes on one computer?

    A pretty stupid problem, but I can't figure it out. It appears that there are two copies of iTunes on one of our computers--or at least, iTunes somehow displaying two different profiles. If I have "start iTunes automatically" checked, when I connect the iPod, iTunes opens, and it shows the location of the Library file as on the workstation's local HD. Conversely, if I use the shortcut icon on the desktop to open iTunes, it points to a Library location on a network shared drive (which is where I want it to be).
    I cannot for the life of me figure out where the two copies, if they exist, of the iTunes.exe file are located. The Properties for the shortcut iTunes icon is grayed out in the "find Target" box. I can find one copy of iTunes in the local c:\Programs\iTunes folder. Control Panel Add/Remove Programs list shows only one iTunes program. Is there any way to figure this out?

  • Is it possible to have two sets of itunes on one computer.

    hey,
    I had a ipod mini and i sent it to the ipod shop to be repaired when it broke. When i got it back i gave it to my sister and bought a new video 30GB ipod for myself. i was wondering how to set up two sets of itunes from my computer and whether it can be done. i used my old itunes and was able to put songs on my new 30GB ipod but when i logged into my computer in another account and tried to put songs from a different itunes on the mini ipod it wouldnt let me. im very confused and im not sure what to do. The mini ipod doesnt have any songs and is brand new. i want to know a way that i can have a seperate itunes for the mini ipod and a seperate itunes for the 30GB ipod.
    thanks

    Hi Tigerlily89,
    welcome to Apple Discussions,
    I would suggest that you don't have your iPod set to automatically download all your contents of iTunes to your iPod, this way you are free to control what goes onto each of your iPods from the same Library.
    When your iPod is connected to your computer and appears in iTunes goto Preferences iTunes and select iPod. You should see a little box at the bottom with words Enable Disk Use.
    Tick this box.
    You should see that your iPod's contents in iTunes has now turned black rather than grey. This means that you can now manually drag songs out of your iTunes Library onto your mounted iPod icon on the side of your iTunes.
    Eject your iPod via the little eject symbol to the right of your iPod pic in iTunes.
    Now connect your Mini to your computer and wait.
    Now drag from your main iTune library whatever you wish into the iPod Mini little pic.
    You can delete whatever you want to off your iPods by just clicking on the icon then viewing the contents of the iPodusing the top right Browse button.
    Hop this helps you.
    Phil
