How should I go about registering my dad's iPhone to get music from my account?
Posted on 2010 under iPhone FAQ | 2 Comments5 Mar
My dad downloaded music on my itunes account (where my iPod is registered) and now he wants me to put the music onto his iPhone. He has his own itunes account but his phone isn’t registered. What do I do so that he can get the music from my account?

Its simple.
Open the itunes which has all the music in it.Go to apple store in there.
Log in with the account name which has all the music downloaded from.Done here.
Now attach the iphone to the computer and wait for the iphone window to appear.
See the options which are given in the front home screen just below the iphone info screen.
If you get the option to MANUALLY manage music and videos changeable click it and do this.
Go to the songs tab and check the songs you want to sync.
Itl just sync the songs while the rest of the things in the iphone will remain the same.
If it gives the message this iphone is previously synced with another itunes account then youl loose all the apps and music and videos from the iphone and they will be changed by the things in this account which you are trying to sync now.
Now If you dont get the option of manually sync, then unfortunately youl have to reset the iphone and start from the scrath with this new itunes account.
To make things simple for you cause after reading all this i know ul be confused.
You need to understand the iphone works in sync with the itunes store account associated to it. So to put things from multiple accounts is not advisable.Itl mess things up for you.
Just resync it with the account which has all the songs and itl be fine and in the future use that account.
