Two phones with different contacts and one computer?

how do i go about syncing two phones, with different contacts, to one computer?

If you are using Microsoft Outlook and syncing different contacts is your concern, you can set up a new Contacts folder for your iPhone (like "Jeff's Contacts") and set iTunes to sync that folder only to your iPhone. Create a second new Contacts folder for the other iPhone's contacts and do the same thing. Works great for my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, both synced to our home computer.

5800XM can 2 phones with differing contacts and ca...

Hi all
I have a 5800XM and I love it. My wife also wants to get one and I need to know if it is possible to sync. 2 5800XM's with one PC where each phone has differing contact lists and calendars? I've looked right through the book and it appears to suggest it is possible but until my wife gets hers I won't know. Also, if it don't work then we could foul up our back-ups and lose info.
On another point, is it possible to change the awful red on grey font that displays for names and numbers etc in texts? That is the only fault I've found with my 5800XM. I find it extremely difficult to read under any lighting conditions.
Thanks in advance and regards to all.

Just create a separate user account on your PC for your wife and you will be able to sync and backup both phones on one PC.
The font colours are determined by your current theme. If you don't like the default theme install an alternative.
I recommend this theme for easy outdoor visibility:

Can I sync two iPads with different users and email addresses on the same computer

Can I sync two IPads with different users and email addresses on the same computer.

yes, just make sure you turn off auto-sync to keep everything organized before you try syncing
on a pc
edit > preferences > devices - 'prevent ipads, iphones, and ipods from syncing automatically' needs to be checked

Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

Hello Apple Community,
Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?
For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud). Is this possible?
This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
iphone backup.
Thank you in advance!

Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"? There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
Read references for Home Sharing.
iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
The above can get pretty complicated. You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

HT4528 Can I put the same information on two different i-phones with different numbers and different ID's?

Can I put the same information on two different i-phones with different numbers and different ID's?

Yes and no it really depends on what information you are putting on the devices.

Ok so.. My brother put music on mom's phone, but it just erased all of her contacts and left her phone with his contacts and music. How do I get her contacts back if possible?

Sync it with her computer.

Multiple Iphones with separate apps and one computer

I've researched this and can not find any help on either the apple site, internet and not really in here clearly.
We have multiple iphones each with their own apps and information and one computer. My husband doesn't want my apps installed on his iphone and I don't want his either.
How can we sync and update our phones using one computer and back them up without overwritting each phone with the others apps. Especially if a restore needs to be done, itunes holds one phones set of apps.

Because the iPhone does not support disk mode as with most iPods, which is probably for security reasons which isn't a concern with an iPod.
I'm concerned what will happen when I get a new PC.
No reason to be concerned. You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC - the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder and with iTunes quit on the new PC, place the iTunes folder in the Music folder. You also need to authorize your new PC with your iTunes account with iTunes.
When getting a new computer, you transfer your iTunes library and content along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as photos, documents, etc.

How do I sync music onto 3 phones with different iclouds but one apple id and one laptop without any problems, each phone user wants different music???

I have recently uploaded some music onto my laptop from cds onto my itunes library. User 1 (B) is a regular user of itunes and has playlists on his iphone from cds. User 2 (c) wanted like a particular cd on his phone and it synced onto iphone ok from the itunes library, also has never used the laptop before to sync normally uses icloud.
User 1(b) later downloaded 5 cds onto itunes and wanted to sync onto iphone but now cannot get the sync to work, however when you ask what is actually on the phone those cds do feature via itunes but are shown in grey on the screen whereas all the other music on the phone is in black.
FACTs
I only have one laptop and one login on the laptop
All three phones have their own icloud
User 3(K) just uses icloud and doesn't use itunes on the laptop but occasionally buys tracks straight from itunes on her iphone
QUESTION
Does this mean only one user can login/sync to itunes?
What is the solution to this problem so that all 3 users will be able to log on to itunes with the same login on the laptop to sync cds onto iphones?
Would Home Sharing help?
Thanks

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
My Apple ID

Hey, does anybody know how can i have two different apple ids on my mac imessages, because i have two mobile phones with different ids and i would like to be able to send imessages from both accounts on my mac. Tnx

Hey does anybody know how to set up 2 apple ID on mac imessages? Because i have 2 different iphones and i would like to send imessages fron both accounts on my mac...

Associate your mobile numbers with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

Two ROIs with different purposes in one display

Hi there,
I'm using LV10 and I'd like to know if there's a simple way to create two different ROIs in one image display with different use.
For example:
An avi file is displayed. I create a ROI by drawing on the image display to shrink the regarded area (to save computing resources and time) of the avi. I create a second ROI (also by drawing on the image display) to set a location for a colour analysis.
At the moment, I'm using only one ROI by drawing it on a display and getting its data by using a property node. I reckon this can't work with two ROIs in one display.
My idea is to use a switch and local variables to get what I need, but this seems quite circuitous.
Is there any smarter way?

Hello seasoo,
alternatively you could use "unbundle by name" and then index the contours (for loop or index array). After indexing, use "unbundle by name" again to extract the points of each ROI - top left point, bottom right point.
Best regards,
K

In a group text with two phones that use Imessage and one that does not. The person that does not, does not get my message when its sent in group text. How do i fix this?

I have a group text with two of my friends. here's each person break down
person 1 ATT network, using imessage
person 2 verzion network, using imessage
person 3 verzion network, using SMS
All three of us are in a group chat. When person 1 sends a message, person 2 recieves it, but person 3 does not. Then when person 3 sends a message, both person 1 and 2 get it. When person 2 sends an Imessage, person 1 and 3 get it
so the problem is when person 1 sends an imessage, it doesnt change to sms and person 3 doesnt get it, but person 2's automatilly switches it to green.
How can person one get their phone to automaticlly switch it to green in group message while keeping on imessage?

The quote below from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760 indicates that it in the situation you describe it should be going as MMS to everyone -- which is not what you are seeing actually happen (and also not what you want to happen if I understand correctly). There may be something else helpful in the link.
Group messages will be sent using iMessage if all recipients have iMessage enabled. If not, the conversation will be sent as MMS. Group messages use MMS even if the content is text only.

What is the easiest way to sync and back up 2 iPhones with different accounts on one computer?

My parents have gotten a new Windows 8 computer and want to use it to back up and sync their phones for updates. They don't share an iTunes account but they do share the credit card used to make purchases. They also so not want to set up "his and her" accounts on the computer. Also they are getting new phones next week. Should I just make an account for them to share and delete their old accounts, or will signing in and out of iTunes based on who is using it keep their information seperate...or is there a much simpler way to do it that I am totally missing?

I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

Two Lumias with different contacts?

I'm about to get a second Lumia for my personal use. The way I want to set up my contacts is as follows:
Work Lumia
Work contacts
Facebook contacts (actually, I just need the account on this phone for sharing stuff etc.)
Personal Lumia
Personal contacts (some are the same as work contacts)
Facebook contacts
How do I go about achieving this? Will I need to set up a second Windows Live account? Will it work with two Fb accounts connected to it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use the same Microsoft account on both (I assume you have the business contact on that one)
Add your personal account on the new phone and hide the Microsoft account contacts on that one. That way apps/music whatever you get on the Microsoft account will be available on both accounts.
Or if it's no issue, just register the new phone on your personal account and keep them separate like that..
