Here are some issues Im having:
Back-story: My wife and I share an iTunes account. It makes sense since I own the phones, and pay for the contracts, and I see many people do it this way as well. We also have two iTunes libraries on one Mac for the separate phones. When opening the default iTunes, it goes to my wifes library. I have to ctl click iTunes, browse through the iTunes file until I find my iTunes music library.xml file. This has my music, my playlists, and my ringtones in it.
When setting up ios5 under my iTunes, I had to upgrade iTunes to the latest version. Also, when the phone (presumably for iCloud) asked for my Apple ID, I gave it my iTunes account.
Two days later, unfortunately, when my wife was setting up here phone, she also used our iTunes account for the iCloud, thus merging our two phones calendars and contacts. That sucked because as soon as I synced my phone from my iTunes, it now had her entire work schedule and contacts.
I wanted to restore my phone to two days prior, as thats when I had installed ios5. Well, guess what happened? I cant open up my iTunes.xml file. I can see the .xml file I always open, but its grayed out and I cant pick it. I tried opening a .xml file in the previous iTunes libraries folder, it opened, but it didnt have all my songs, as it was a week old. So, I tried importing the .xml I usually use. This added all my songs and playlists, but doubled all the playlists. I deleted them, restored my phone from two days prior, and though I was all set. Well, all her calendar and contact stuff went back to the phone, and when I tried to open my .xml file, it was grayed out again.
Its really frustrating, as I set up our two different iTunes libraries in 2007 and have never had a problem until now. Also, this whole iCloud thing confused us, and its mostly our fault for not reading all the pitfalls before we decided to jump on the iCloud/ios5 bandwagon.
Any suggestions that dont involve merging everything we have setup differently or starting from scratch?
Thanks in advvance for any help.
