Q: My iTunes show my wife's iPhone

I purchased a new iPhone 6s Plus and gave my wife my old iPhone 5, we reset the unit and she logged it in her iTunes to get her apps and songs. All works okay but her iPhone still shows up in my iTunes also on top, I tried a bunch of thing but it keeps coming back.

Is there a way to make my iTune forget that my old iPhone 5 ever existed? I sometimes fear that I will select that iPhone by mistake to install or remove stuff.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Andre,

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

It seems like your wife is using your iPhone 5 but you still see the device in iTunes for syncing purposes. If so, can you follow these steps from Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi to de-select the sync over Wi-Fi option?

Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.

Use the USB cable that came with your iOS device to connect it to your computer.

In iTunes, find and then click your iOS device.

On the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."

Click Apply, then disconnect the USB cable.

All the best.
