Q: If i remove certain apps, my photos, email account etc from my iphone 4s, will it delete them from my iphone 5s?
Hi. I have an iPhone 4s which I am going to give to a relative, because I have bought myself an iphone 5s. So I need to take off some of the apps, photos, email etc that include my information etc. If I take them off my 4s, will they still be kept on the 5s? (I have backed my 5s up on my laptop). I mean once I take the sim out, all my txts, etc will disappear anyway won't they? We live in different countries. I want to keep it as part of my itunes account tho, as she doesn't have the internet where she is. So when I see her again, I can just update it etc by using my itunes. Plus by keeping it on my account, all the apps I have will stay on the 4s, and she can just delete what she doesnt want when she gets the phone. Any help would be appreciated, as she is wanting the phone asap. Thanks
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

An iTunes account can also be created on an iDevice, check this article:
iTunes: How to set up an iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
You can only sync to one computer at a time. Every time you switch the computer and try to syc, iTunes will erase the phone and replace the content with the one from the iTunes library on the computer.
And you can only play bought media from iTunes on devices that are authorized with the same iTunes account.
You can sync music you imported from CD's.
In your case it would be best to create a new user account in Windows and set up iTunes with her account info. That way no media and other data can be mixed up and you can sync the phone without problems. If you just want to add music without syncing other media as apps for example, check this article:
