    Just wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible to have 2 different iPhone's set up on the one iTunes account? My husband and i have 2 separate log-ins on the laptop, but the same iTunes on both. If I set up my husband's phone (he's even more of a technophobe than I) will his phone sync with iTunes, and all my data be lost? Hope this makes sense..thanks for any input

    Yes, you can.

    The iTunes account only looks after purchases on your iPhone, nothing to do with the back up.

    If you use different accounts on you computer there will be no issue with backing up

    No issue with backing up, but be careful about restoring or syncing stuff into the phone. In the past I've plugged my iPhone into the mac, where the iTunes library is mostly my wife's apps and music. On more than one occasion I've accidentally synced all her stuff into my phone, so to prevent that make sure that you have selected the option to manually control the sync. That way iTunes won't automatically write all your partners music into your phone.
