Don't think it does

It does cos Ibby and GridGirl do it.

You'd probably have to ask Ibby. I suppose it works because the phones have two different names. My iphone is backed up under and synced under its name and Ibby's does the same under whatever his is called. The best thing about using one account itunes account is obviously the sharing of apps and in theory the spreading of the cost of apps. I suppose TomTom was quite an expensive app but when we've both got use of it and could be using it in different places it does seem less of an expensive purchase. It is still far more cheaper than buying two seperate TomTom's. I also have the added bonus of itunes being linked to Ibby's bank account so he buys all the apps and I just get them for free. It will be a sad day when he change itunes to the joint bank account and I hope it never comes.

Mark, I would think that if Karen were to get an iphone she would just need to give it a name when linking it to itunes, select all the music, video's, apps and whatever from what is already stored and then she would be good to go from the start.

that's how it (finally and somewhat surprisingly ) worked in the donkey household, albeit with 2 ipods instead of iphones.
I think I needed to logout from the account it (itunes) was in first though for it to synchronise from the PC to the second device

Some on the news this morning whinging about the iPhone clock bug again. Like, why is this still happening, shouldn't it have been fixed?! Yes, it was, but you haven't updated your software!

I, like GridGirl, used my phone to wake me up for the GP and it went off fine at ten to seven BST.

Your money is his money and his money is your money, if it isn't the case already, it will be soon

Cheers! I might give that a try.
It's a bit of a choice however as Karen already has an iTunes account for her iPod so it would mean leaving behind the purchases for that - although it's not like her iPod is going to stop working.

Never should have happened in the first place!

I take it back then!

Very true, but the fact remains that the problem has been fixed by a software update. Was it Apple's fault it happened in the first place, yes! Is it their fault it's still happening because people have failed to update their phones, no!
