Hi Guys

I have an iMac, and my iPhone 4 is Synced with the iTunes on the iMac.

The issues is my cousin (crashing with me at the moment) also has an iPhone 4.

Can me and him both use the same iTunes to Sync stuff and update software ? Or does he need to go onto another computer (some where else) and Sync with an un-synced iTunes ?

I would greatly appreciate some help.

Thank You.

If he were to sync his phone with music, videos, apps, etc. on your computer, that would be stealing unless he were part of your "household". There's been debate over who that applies to (roommates, Dad who lives in the guest house on the back of the property, cousin crashing on the couch for a week). So, just think about that.

It would be very easy to create a guest account for him on your iMac and let him sign into iTunes with his Apple ID to do things like purchasing songs and updating apps, etc. etc. He would have to have an Apple ID already anyways in order to have set up his iPhone for the first time, so why not just keep it all separate? :)
