Wife getting her first iPhone - adding to Mac with my phone

My wife and I have been sharing the same user profile on our Mac. It's easy because I'm the only one with a mobile device. I should note that my daughter has an iTouch, she has her own user profile. Our iTunes Media folder is on the shared folder because we share music, but the iTunes on her profile is connected to her iTunes account.
Wife is getting an iPhone. Does she need her own profile? Can she sync her phone to my iTunes? Will that give her the same apps and music as me? Is there any way for the iTunes on our shared profile keep track of two different phones? Can one iTunes use two different Apple IDs?
Presuming we need a new profile, is there an easy way to clone profiles, so her new one looks like her old one?
If we need two profiles, how do we deal with shared documents? I don't want to put them on the Shared folder, because the daughter shouldn't see them.

You can share iTunes content using your ID, but I suggest you get her her own ID for iCloud, FaceTime, & iMessage. Must be a verified email address. You can create an ID here. Do this first:

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

I am using Vodafone at Delhi India with my Iphone 5S, 3g is activated with my number but i am not getting 3G signals iphone is also activated with vodafone but still waiting for 3G signals contacted vodafone but wasted my time pls help using APN www

Keep on talking to Vodafone and keep pestering them until you get a satisfactory answer. Whether you get a 3G signal or not, is entirely the responsibility of Vodafone India because they are your carrier/phone company and nobody here can help you with that on a public user to user technical support forum.
Contact Vodafone as they are the only ones who can help you.

I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4. Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date. I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems. What's wrong with the iPhone 4?

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps. Any thoughts?

Hi clintfromid,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

My wife just bought her first Iphone a 4s a fwe months ago, its secondhand a few months ago but it came with ios7. Now the phone has stopped working and is asking to be registered with a Developer Program portal any ideas how I can fix this for her?

my wife just boughtnher first apple an iphone4s she got it secondhand about last july , it came with ios7 which had not been released but today its stopped working and asking to be registered with a developers program, how can I restore her phone and hopefullykeep her current data. Please keep your answer simple we are not it people thanks.

Well, you have your answer perhaps as to why the phone was being sold in the first place - rather than being a registered developer, the previous owner probably downloaded and installed an illegal copy of iOS 7 beta on the phone and it has now bricked the phone. Some people did this and of course they could not wait to get their hands on iOS 7, but now it has been released officially, everybody moans.
The only thing you can do is try resetting the phone again. Connect it to iTunes and install iOS 7.0.2 and restore it as new and see if that works. This might help the phone but will not preserve data.
If it still won't work, then I suggest that you confront the previous owner of the phone and return it for a full refund and start again, but this time buy the phone from a legitimate source.

Can't get photos in iPhone 5C to connect with my MacbookAir through photo stream

I have the new iPhone 5C and I have always needed to download my photos onto my Macbook Air mid-2013 by plugging it in witht the USB cord. I want to use the Photo stream feature, but my mac and my phone don't seem to recognize each other as iOS devices and Photostream is turned on on both. I can't even get them to connect by AirDrop. Is this a problem with iCloud's photostream or is it a device problem? If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your Mac will recognize your phone as a digital camera when you connect it with your usb cable.
Make sure you signed into the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud on your phone, and System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, turned on My Photo Stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos on your phone, checked Photos in System Preferences>iCloud and checked My Photo Steam in iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud.
Do you have these set correctly?
Also, AirDrop currently does not support iOS to OS X transfers.

Stop iPhone adding a space to a phone number

Hi - for the third time or so, I am getting peed off that I cannot send a text to a number without iPhone adding a space.
For example if someone says: "Text STOP to 123456 to stop these messages", the iPhone reformats "123456" to "123 456" or some such, and the text does not go.
Surely there is a way to stop this? Blowed if I can find it! And Googling it has not helped.
On another point, it puts me off uising this type of texting for marketing of my own, because if I - fairly web-savvy - cannot suss it out, then many other iOS users won't be able to either.
Thanks for ideas or thoughts .
Malc

Why do you want spaces??? It's an evil thing, I hate it and it ***** up my addressbook! It won't turn off even if I have turned formatting off in Address Book.
Apple PLEASE learn from other manufacturers who have the experience of making phones, like Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Just a simple thing as sending a contact to another phone via Bluetooth or SMS, how come you haven't added that yet???

Why won't my iphone 4 and mac with mountain lion sync my messages?

I am trying to continue a conversation from my iphone to my mac. It doesn't work like icloud pushing my e-mails and songs from one to the other. That works just about perfectly. But for imessages I can't get it to work. I even turned my caller ID to my email address. It really doesn't work well at all. Am I doing something wrong? And more importantly, IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING TROUBLE?
Thank you!

IF all of you guys were running the Messgaes Beta under Lion, before you moved up to Mountain Lion, that may be the culprit.
At any rate, do the following:
Under Messages application, DELETE the account that is not syncing.
Should just be your Apple ID'd account.
Do this by going into Messages/Preferences/Accounts,
Selecting the account in the sidebar and pressing the minus sign at the bottom of the sidebar.
Quit Messages
Then under the Finder menu at the top of your desktop, navigate to:
Library/Preferences folder. To do so, while selecting the Go menu item, press the Alt key, and the Library will list.
Select it
Inside the Preferences folder, locate all the files that have
com.apple.imagent
com.apple.imessage
com.apple.imservice
And drag them to the trash.
Now Open the Messages application and add your Apple ID account using the plus sign, under Messages/Preferences/Accounts.
If you also deleted the files above that had FaceTime in them, you will need to open that app an re enter your Apple ID account info there too.
All Messages "syncing" should now work.

How do I face time from my iphone to my mac with the same apple id?

how do i facetime from my iphone 4s with my mac at home with the same apple id

On your Mac computer you would need Osx 10.6.6. You would identify your Mac with an email address which would be used as the Mac's calling Id. For the iphone you would simply use its telephone number as the calling Id. Actually you can use a separate, individual e-mail also, but it certainly makes sense to use the already assigned tel #.
