Question for iPhone Users

Postby A2JGirl » June 15th, 2009, 8:26 pm

The magical window of upgrade is opening up for us in July, and of course we want to get iPhones. We have an iMac and my husband has had an iPod. But I'm concerned if it will cause problems to have more than one device to sync to iTunes. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any problems? Any tips and tricks for me?

Thanks y'all!

Macintosh computers support multiple logins -- in other words, I can have a username/password, and my wife could have a different username/password, and each login can have a separate set of preferences, access to apps, etc.

I have not tried it, but I am pretty sure each person would have their own iTunes account, playlists and apps enabled that would support multiple users syncing multiple iPhones/iPods.

I use iTunes for my iPod and my iPhone and had no problems sync either device with that one program.

That's good news kurt. Do you have different playlists for each? If it will recognize them as different devices and know what playlist to sync with each device then that takes care of what I was wondering about. I don't want to have to have different log ins, and different iTunes... we pretty much listen to the same music, but what I want on my playlist at any given time could differ from what he wants on his playlist.

MacUser, I definitely would love to get a new Mac! Our iMac is almost 4 years old, and the only problem it has ever given us is when the hard drive went kaput. There's no way I could go back now... but I would like a newer one.

That article was helpful PG, thanks. I'll definitely refer back to it to help learn all the tricks and quirks. :-)

yes I have separate playlist. My daughter has a iPod and she likes various kinds of christian music then I do. So we both have seperate playlists and when I download music to my iPhone and just click on my playlist only and bingo, my songs.

Yay!!!! That way I don't have to bump past his Alan Parsons Project and he doesn't have to bump past my Blessid Union of Souls. :lol:

Thanks guys! I'm sure I'll have more questions once I actually possess an iPhone. :-)
