Use 2 iphones on one itune account?

I have one computer with one itune account and 2 iphones at home. How can I use the same itune account for 2 iphones? Is it possible?

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. Itunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs.

  • I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be seperated. What is going on here?

    I have 2 iphones on one itunes account. I just upgraded both to ios 8 and now the messages i receive come through to both phones when they used to be separated. What is going on here?

    I noticed the same problem after upgrading a few iPhones to IOS 8, all use the same Apple ID.  However, I now notice when I go into Message and instead of selecting a person from my contact list, I start typing their name which brings up a list of people, some of which are not in my contact list and are on one of the other iPhones. There's a circle/exclamation point next to the name which I click on, and one of the options is to "Remove from Recent". How did these names get from one phone to another and how do I remove all "recents"? They do not appear in my contact list. Anyone see this?

  • Synching 2 3Gs iPhones to one iTunes account on one computer

    I have a few questions regarding synching two 3Gs iPhones with one iTunes account on one computer.
    I had synched both phones (mine and my wifes) to our desktop computer but saw that apps were being placed on both of our phones and contacts were being added to both and duplicated.
    1. If I try to synch my wifes iPhone to a her laptop with a new itunes account and it asks about erasing the data, will it get rid of the photos and contacts? I have looked this issue up and no one really seems to know.
    2. If I try to synch both iPhones to the desktop with the original itunes how do I avoid the issues of transposing apps, contacts being added to both? Several answers out on the Net say to make two seperate accounts. Does that mean two seperate "iTunes" accounts? Or two seperate profiles on the desktop computer.
    The main reason I need to do this is because my wifes iPhone is about two or three firmware updates behind. I would like to update her firmware and back up all of her apps and contacts. I am backing up her photos to Shutterfly just in case, because if something happened to those I might not be around to see iPhone 5. hahaha j/k
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    1. If you manually backup your wife's phone before you sync for the first time to the laptop, you can save all data and settings of the phone and restore from that backup again after the initial sync.
    Here's how to backup manually:
    Set up the same iTunes account on the laptop, disable autosync in iTunes/Settings/Devices.
    Connect the phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup" iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to the new library.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    2. If you're syncing both phones on one computer, either create a second user account on your computer, log in and do the same manual backup process as described above, or, take the time to set up each phone individually, including the settings for calendars and contacts, which apps to sync, etc.
    iTunes will remember the settings for each phone and you'll only have to do this once.
    You can only use apps on different devices if you're using the same account you did at the time you bought them.

  • What is best practice for installing husband/wife iPhones on one iTunes account?

    Is there a way to install two iPhones (or iPads for that matter) on one iTunes account in order to share apps, music, books, HOWEVER, keep contacts, calendar events, reminders separate?
    Goal: I want to have my iPad and iPhone and my wife's iPhone on one iTunes account in order to share apps, music, books, etc.  I also want to backup my contacts, calendar events, reminders in the iCloud so synching across my iDevices and PC is easy and seemless.  How do I keep my contacts/calendar events from synching on her iPhone since they're both located in the same iTunes account?

    Yes, you can use two individual Apple IDs for iCloud, iMessage, Facetime, etc. and use the existing iTunes account for setting up iTunes and App Stores to share app and music purchases.
    You can set them up on both devices here:
    Individual Apple IDs
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > Facetime
    Shared Apple ID for iTunes and App Store
    Settings > iTunes & App Store

  • How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.

    How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.  Each device has a different name. But every time I plug them into iTunes on my Pc all the apps get screwed up. apps disappear etc.  I have "sync apps" selected without automatic updates. I'm thinking I should have this unselected, but that does make sense to me. Shouldn't I be able to have one iTunes account and manage each device independently.  What settings to do I need to apply to itunes so that every time i plug the devices in they don't get all messed up? thanks in advance
    Also, Iphone 4s is possible to rotate pictures without extra hassle of downloading software??

    You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts

    Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
    Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
    Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

  • How do I sink two iPhones to one itunes account

    Is it possible to sink a 3G iPhone my wife now has and my older 2G iPhone to the same computer laptop using one itunes account. I would like to be able to put different applications on each iPhone. I did lose some notes thinking I could delete from my wife's 3G and keep on my older 2G.

    Under the Applications tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for each iPhone, choose selected Applications. Select the applications in the window below that you want installed on the connected iPhone followed by a sync.
    You can do the same with Music by using an iTunes playlist or playlists. You can create a primary iTunes playlist for the music that you want on your iPhone, and your wife can create a primary iTunes playlist that she wants on her iPhone. You can create and transfer multiple playlists if you like.
    Under the Music tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for each iPhone, choose selected playlists. Select the playlist or playlists in the window below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync. Your wife will select the iTunes playlist of playlists that she wants transferred to her iPhone followed by a sync.
    To remove add additional music to your iPhone, add the music to a designated playlist in iTunes that you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync. Your wife does the same with her iPhone. To remove a song from your iPhone, remove the song from the playlist in iTunes you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync, and your wife can do the same with the playlist in iTunes she has selected to be transferred to her iPhone followed by a sync.

  • TS1474 Syncing multiple iphones from one itunes account

    My wife and I each have our own iphones. We use just one itunes account on our main computer at home. We each have our own apple ID's.
    My question is this: Whenever we try to sync our phones to itunes, this screen appears
    I have NO IDEA whaich of these to choose, because I have no idea, what's on each of these backups!!! Invariably, I end up syncing to something I don't want, and having to totally redo all my apps, contacts etc... My Wife's facebook contacts seem to always wind up on my phone! Help!!
    How do you keep backups up to date and organized?

    If you want to continue using one computer, you should at least give each iPhone a name.
    Settings > General > About > Name: give each iPhone a unique name.

  • Can I sync 2 iPhones to one itunes account but have seperate yahoo contacts

    We have 2 iPhones and want to be able to share the same itunes account which doesn't seem to be a problem. However we can't seem to have separate yahoo contacts synced with the two separate phones. It wants to keep putting my wife's contacts on my phone or vice a versa. Now our Yahoo contacts are all mucked up. Any help would be appreciated. I can't believe we can't do this.

    You can sync many devices to one itunes account. I, for instance, have two ipods and an iphone on one account. They all have different setting and contents, but still only sync to one itunes account.
    Yes you and your wife can use one itunes account.
