iPhone Identity Crisis
I had my iPhone 3GS for a year or so, and had it set up on my home computer. Then my wife got a new iPhone 4. When I plugged it in to set it up it immediately tried to sync itself to mine. When my wife tries to sign in to iTunes, her phone thinks its mine. When I recently upgraded to iOS5 I had the same problem.
Any idea how to set up two iPhones on one computer and keep them separate? Thx in advance for any advice.
