Re: using itunes with iphone
Hi Ronni The sync with my laptop went well and she now has all the music and apps to use on her phone. No dramas at all with registering two phones on my mac! Thanks so much for your help once again, I really appreciate it. As a result of doing the above and also using my ipad I have another couple of questions to ask you regarding using 3G with Telstra: On my iphone when I tap the Mail app to check my emails (while using only 3G connection and not wifi), the app opens and I can see it connecting and then downloading my emails. However, when I then tap to open an email, it does open to show who sent it but does not show the contents of the email!?? Is there a reason for this. I have checked the settings and cant find anything that I need to select? I have iPad 1 (64gb wifi 3G) but cannot connect with telstra to do the same as the iphone, and I suspect I need to have a Sim installed, is that correct? I just am not sure how to do this, and what sort of Sim I need as I already have my iphone plan with Telstra and assume I would need to get myself another plan perhaps just with data? If anyone has some advice I very much value your help on these Many thanks and best regards to all Chris Cheers Chris On 06/08/2012, at 11:51 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Chris, Yes you would have to upgrade Cath's iBook to OS X 10.5.8 iTunes 10. How was Cath's iPhone setup, was it connected to your iTunes on your computer? Anyway, You can sync two iPhones to the same machine, each with their own apps, music, media, etc. You configure the sync for each separate device (iPhone) so that you can have the exact content that you want on each device. You make the selections in each of the tabs in iTunes and sync, and iTunes will remember the configuration for each device when you sync them again. iTunes will manage each phone independently, so you can have different data backed up from each iPhone.

Re: using itunes with iphone
Hi Chris, Good to hear all went well with setting up and syncing Cath's iPhone in your iTunes. I have iPad 1 (64gb wifi 3G) but cannot connect with telstra to do the same as the iphone, and I suspect I need to have a Sim installed, is that correct? You have two options: 1. Purchase a Telstra SIM Card (which I did when I first bought an iPad, but don't anymore. OR Do what I do now: 2. Is use Personal Hotspot ( use some of my iPhone's Data ) Personal Hotspot-iPad to iPhone Bluetooth Tethering: Steps to setup iPad to iPhone Bluetooth Tethering are: 1. On iPhone 4 or 3G S: Turn on Personal Hotspot (Settings Personal Hotspot On) 2. On iPad: Go to Bluetooth Settings (Settings General Bluetooth) 3. On iPad: Select iPhone to pair with, and confirm pairing on both iPad and iPhone You will notice the new tethering icon next to the iPad label at the top left of the iPad screen. If you use Personal Hotspot you need to keep an eye on the amount of Data you use so you don't exceed your Monthly Data Limit on your iPhone Data Plan with Telstra.

Re: using itunes with iphone
Hi Chris, You must be running Mac OS X 10.5 or newer for iTunes to recognise the iPhone. Since you're using iTunes 9.2.1, you have at least a G4, which means you can run OS X10.5.

That was the good news. I connected Cath's phone to her laptop using the docking cable with iTunes 9.2 open. Nothing happened! The phone did not show up. I tried several times. I then connected it to my laptop (iTunes 10.6.3) and the phone did show up and a 'Lets get started' screen asking to register the phone and set up an itunes account.
