I have the following - Windows 8; Itunes is loaded with my personal Apple ID; received an Iphone 5 with company Apple ID and permission to load personal apps, etc. on the company phone. How do I load multiple apple id's onto the one phone? I tried syncing them both but the company phone doesn't pick up my personal contacts...any advice?
Asus Laptop-OTHER, Windows 8
The apple ID logged into settings-store is the apple ID that is going to "authorize" apps to be installed. I am not sure but I dont believe you can add apps to a single device from two apple IDs.
See: Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
You can add your apple ID to settings-mail calendar and contacts, and from there elect to sync your contacts from your apple ID.

You can use only one Apple ID with the phone - either yours or the company's. If the latter then you cannot sync anything from your iTunes Library to the phone. You can use the phone to sync with your office computer provided it is set up to use the company Apple ID.
Thanks everyone - not what I wanted to hear but what i suspected. I guess I will just have to transfer all personal contacts to the company contacts in order to sync with company ID.... Appreciate the help!
You're welcome!
In fact you can load apps from more than one Apple ID onto an iOS device. From Settings > iTunes & App Store sign out of the current account, then sign in with another. I suspect the limit of protected content from up to five different accounts still applies. Managing updates from multiple accounts is a drag as you have to sign in and out of each account in turn. Another complication is that iTunes normally wants to use a single library to manage the device, so if it has been set up at work you may have fun & games getting other content onto it while keeping what is already there. I suspect you'll have to purchase or download apps directly to the device rather than syncing it with your library, but then I'm not practiced in the way apps are distributed in a corporate environment.
You should also be able to set up multiple mail, contacts & calendar accounts.

What is the family sharing for if you can't have apps from two apple IDs?
Family sharing didn't exist when this thread was first posted. As given above, you can have apps from more than one Apple ID on a device. I suspect the limit is five though I haven't had cause to test it.
