We have one computer and two apple id's- how do I sync two phones to the same computer?

My family has one laptop computer but we have two different iPhones and itunes accounts. I want to be able to plug my iPhone into the computer and sync pictures and music with my account. My husband has his own iTunes account and he needs to be able to sync his phone to this laptop as well. Is there a way that we can both sync to the same computer? I need to move some pictures off the phone so that I can update it.

The best way to handle it is to create separate user accounts on the computer for each user. Then make sure that you and your husband log into the computer with the appropriate account. Each of you will have a unique iTunes library, contacts, etc.

I have one Iphone, and two computers. They both have different purchases on them. One is older than the other. and one was my moms. How do i get the ringtones off of my computer and onto my moms computer to use all of them on my Iphone?

Copy them to a cd/dvd/flash drive/external drive/etc, then to the other computer.
E-mail them.

I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on two separate apple IDs. how do I do this?

If you sign out of an Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, you should be prompted for an option to 'Keep on my iPhone' in regards to Contacts and other related data. Then, when signing in with another Apple ID on that same iPhone, you should be prompted to 'Merge'. If you do both, then you won't lose any Contacts, and the iCloud Contacts will then be merged into the new Apple ID iCloud, but also will stay on the old Apple ID iCloud.
In the future, it might be best to post your own question thread instead of bumping a thread that is over two years old.

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, I visited some website and then I want to return to my search results and pick another search result. And there is a problem: I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE) that would help me to distinguish visited and not visited sites.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Two phones with the same icloud how to use storage only one the one

My daughter has a Iphone 4, I have a Iphone 5. Because she is to young to have a credit card that allows her to shop online, she uses mine to buy apps. The phone stands in my name and we share the same Iclud. She needs more storage on her phone, so I said yes for her to buy more storage on her phone. But it seems that the storage has been benefitted my phone instead. How can I switch the storage over on her phone?

Hi kristgjo,
If the phones share one iCloud account, then the storage upgrade applies to both devices. For example, I have an iPad and an iPhone that I back up to iCloud. Both use the same account, and both use the same iCloud storage.
If you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, you will see both of your devices, and the amount of iCloud storage that they are using displayed. If you click on either of the devices, you will be able to see the size of the backup and the specific items that are being backed up and how large they are.
Cheers,
GB

I have an iPhone 4s that is my primary phone that I sync with iTunes on my computer. I would like to use my old iPhone 3s like an iPod. Can I also sync this phone to the same computer and iTunes? My ultimate goal would be to have identical iTunes on both phones. Is this possible?

My wife and i have 2 iphone 4s. Since i installed ios6 face time calls on both phones at the same time when friends try to face time me.
Also when my wife messages me her phone receives the message first in notifications bar

This sounds like an Apple ID problem. Do each of you have your own Apple IDs? Are they each properly set on each phone? You might try logging out of Facetime and iMessage, then logging back in. This often fixes connectivity issues.

HT204053 My wife and I have iphones now. My apple ID went good. My wife tryed to use the same email address as her apple ID. The screen on her iphone said that she could but the option that she was supose to click on was not one of ther options. COTINUE w

My wife and I got iphones. Igot my apple ID set up fine. Having trouble setting up my wifesw. We only have 1 email account. The instructions say to use youe email account as your apple ID. I have done that. My wife tryede to enter the same apple ID. The instuctions say you can. It says press use the same. Then press continue. The only problem is that continue is not an option that is on that screen? Please help me with some good and easy fixes. THANKS

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

How to transfer from one mini to another without messing up either one. I have one monitor and two minis. I do have a firewire cable but don't want a complete transfer, just specific files.

I have done a complete fire wire transfer before but I don't want to do that. I only want to transfer certain files and leave the existing and new minis in tact otherwise. I am sure I can transfer just files. My question mostly is: I only have one monitor but will have two minis that are hooked up. Can this be done without seeing the other computer contents? I hope that makes sense. The existing mini is 10.5.8 and the new one is 10.6.

You can start one mac up in target disk mode, get file sharing set up and then disconnect the monitor. Monitor ports are very tolerant of connecting and disconnecting with the computer on.
Switch the monitor to the other computer. Start up, connect the firewire cable (after the computer has booted) and set up file sharing on that computer. You can see the other computer's contents without controlling the other computer's mouse and/or keyboard.
If the other computer's hard drive does not automatically show up, go to network settings and verify those settings as well. That should not be necessary but ethernet would give you a second option for file transfers.
