IPhone :: 2 Phones Can Sync With Same MobileMe Account?
Mar 16, 2010
I'm upgrading to an IPhone 3GS, but would like to keep my iPhone 3G for another phone number that I have. I was wondering whether I could have 2 working IPhones that have essentially the same info on them? Would this create any issues if both sync to the same Mobile Me account? Would I have to repurchase apps on the new IPhone 3GS?
Well I am a developer and downloaded the official 4.1 gm from apple and installed. Every thing seemed fine until someone sent me a text and only the phone number showed up and not their name, went to contacts and saw that they did not sync with MobileMe. I tried toggling contacts in settings, did not help, I also tried deleting MobileMe account and resetting it up, nothing seems to work. I checked my MobileMe account and all the contacts are still there, I also checked my iPad and the contacts are still syncing there fine. One other thing is the calendar and book marks don't sync either.
The two iPhone 4s I ordered will be here tomorrow to be activated on a family plan for me and my brother. Email from AT&T with activation instructions mention connecting to iTunes. If they are activated on one iTunes account, can one be transferred to a different iTunes account later? Reason I'm asking is because I'm a telecommuter so will be home and can take care of it all tomorrow. My brother doesn't get home from work until 7:30 pm so wondering if I should wait to let him activate his own phone or not. He has his own computer....I need to ask him if he has an iTunes account.
Does it matter one way or the other? If we keep both on one iTunes account, how do apps work? Do they install on just one phone or will they install on both? Right now I have a bunch of free apps selected but I image one or the other of us will want to buy something eventually.
We have two Iphone 4's in our house. My phone is Steve's iPhone and the other is Dianne's iPhone... When I plug my phone in to my PC it calls my (Steve's iPhone) Dianne's IPhone. I have looked at the name on the iPhone and it is Steve's IPhone. I have tried to change the name of the file and the PC will not let me. How do I get my PC to identify my iPhone as Steve's instead of Dianne's?
How do you sync the calender of two s5 phones and two pc's running outlook 2010? I would like to have it set up so if an appointment is added to the calender to any of the devices, it automatically updates all the others.
I've always love MM especially in the IPhone. However, if Gmail/calendar/services are available via EXCHANGE (true push)(OS 4 have multiple exchange accounts) then MobileMe is losing ground unless APPLE comes up with some new features.
Mail: Gmail > MM given that Gmail is free and EXCHANGE gives it instant push. Calendar: PUSH unless you have Mac then it's easier to setup MM on iCal Contacts: PUSH with EXCHANGE Photo: MM slight edge given it has more space but Pisaso isn't bad Google voice >> mobile me Storage: MM (20GB)+ iDisk >Google but you can get other free DROPBOX etc. Hosting: MM>Google because it can and google doesn't offer this service. Locate your phone/wipe data: MM>Google Cost: Google>>> MobileMe, free wins by a LARGE margin
Anyway, the advantages are dwindling fast and MM cost $69-99 per yrs. Come on APPLE give MobileMe some new firepower or offer it free for Apple users!
I have been over the fence on MobileMe. The main attraction for me is the find lost phone feature but 100 bucks seem a bit much for it. The mail/calendar/storage features are attractive but not sure how much I'd use them. Wanted to get a feel from fellow folks here on how they use MM. Attaching a poll.
I recently (an hour ago) had my iPhone stolen, so I went to MobileMe and tracked it. It said it is about 26 KM away. My question is, how accurate is MobileMe?
I spent the last two hours trying to get rid of these. Is there any way to delete these without deleting everything off my iPhone and starting over? I followed some steps online about disable the MobileMe calendar option, making a calendar in iCal and syncing that. That only gets rid of one of the MobileMe calendars.
I have just upgraded to iPhone 4s, my wife now has my iPhone 3GS and I've passed on her old iPhone 3G to my son. My wife and I use iCloud but as the iPhone 3G won't work with iCloud, how can I locate it if I want to see if my son has got home from school for example?
Info: iPhone 3G, iOS 4.3.3, It's running the highest iOS it can
I'm currently running the 4.1 GM and noticed when I restored my phone as a new phone and had to redo all my MobileMe stuff that Notes was no longer an option for syncing.
It was available in 4.02 if I remember correctly but now it's suddenly gone. Can anyone else confirm this? Or has it been missing for awhile and I just never noticed?
I have all my contacts on my iPhone.How do I get these contacts into MobileMe and Outlook 2007? When I right click the MobileMe application and select Sync Now, it doesn't sync any of my phone contacts to MobileMe or Outlook. How do I do it?
Both my gf and I upgraded to the new iPhone4.I figured I would try the free trial of MobileMe since Ive heard horror stories of friends losing phones and/or contacts.I set up my phone to have a MobileMe account and uploaded my contacts no problem and its even syncing over WiFi.It did double up on a few of my contacts for some reason but other than that it was great.Until I discovered that it was syncing my contacts to my gf new iPhone4 as well. This phone didnt even have the MobileMe account set up or activated on it.I checked the sync screen under INFO and under MobileMe it still says SET UP NOW?I cant seem to figure out why it's doing this or how to stop it.
My husband lost his iPhone yesterday. It's still on and rings, however it's no longer in his office, and assumed stolen. Unfortunately, he did not activate "Find my phone" or any other apps of the sort.
I was wondering, since his phone is still logged in to Facebook and Skype, can it be located somehow through them?
I got MobileMe from ATT the day I ordered my iPhone4, and I just send in the rebate today. Does anyone who has did this before know how long it takes to receive the $30 rebate? Also is it an Apple gift card or is it actualy a check? Thanks!
I never had this, albeit minor, problem on my old 3G. On my IP4.01 the MobileMe calendars are a little slow to load when I switch from month to month. For example, if I open up the calendar app, July loads up with all 4 of my calendars quickly. When I click to switch to August, it pauses for a few seconds, moves to the August calendar, then pauses for 5 seconds or so before the appointments display. It sounds petty, but its really annoying when I'm trying to quickly check my schedule.
Ok, my wife just switched from VZ and was on an Android based phone, but she no longer needs her GMail Contacts but we want to move them and her Calendar to the iPhone and start Syncing her MobileMe, how can we do this.Everytime I think it is done and remove her GMail account from her phone her contacts go puff. I am very familiar with the iPhone and MacBook, however not so much with the Android and GMail settings.
This is my first iphone, been a Nokia guy for a long time I'm trying to back up my iphone contacts and calendar using mobileme. I see all my contacts but none of my calendar items in the mobileme calendar.
-iphone4 newest iOS -subscribed to mobileme -have windows xp, outlook 2003
iPhone 4, iOS 5, iCloud. I have several email accounts on my iPhone and for some reason, it gives me an alert sound every time I get an email on my me.com account. The others don't alert me - I don't want alerts on any of them.
I turned Mail off in Notifications center and can't seem to find a notification setting for individual accounts. To be clear, I only get a tri-tone alert sound when .me mail comes in. Nothing in notification center. It gets really annoying because I'll get Apple marketing emails at 2-5am, waking me from my peaceful slumber!
We have recently purchased the new I-pad, we have tried to sync our 2, 3gs phones w/ I-pad. Some Music shows up transparent in I-tunes and won't access. What must be done to access music?
I just upgraded to iPhone 4. I have MobileMe and haven't had any syncing problems between my MacBook iCal, MobileMe web calendar, and Calendar on my iPhone 3G. Now, whenever I modify a previously-created event on my iPhone, it creates a new event on MobileMe and my MacBook iCal with the newest event info, leaving the old one intact. No duplicate on my iPhone.
