A question about multiple computer syncing

Hey i'm getting an iphone soon, and here's my situation.
I have an apple ibook, and an imac G5, which both have data and information (songs, videos, contacts, etc.) that i'd like on my iphone. The itunes running on both computers use the same itunes account, with the same password and user name and everything. So my question is, could i register the iphone on the iMac G5, get the songs on it from that computer, then go and plug it in to the apple iBook and sync the songs from that computer?
thanks for the help,
jim

These observations are from my own personal experience syncing my iPhone between an iMac G5 and a Dell Windows XP system...
- iMac G5 was the original activation computer and it's iTunes library became the "master" library
- when connected to Dell, acts like any other iPod that is not synced with the computer - you can see songs but cannot copy them
- there is no "file system" mode to the iPhone, unlike iPod, so there is no way to move files around
- syncing contacts and calendar events between the iMac (iCal and Address Book) and the Dell (Outlook 2007) was painless.
- iPhone does not appear to support multiple categories of calendar entries (e.g. "work" and "home")
- iPhone DOES work with Exchange Server as long as exchange has IMAP turned on
- iPhone DOES support multiple email accounts (I have three on mine and they work great)

  • Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

    Hi,
    I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones.  Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
    Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc.  Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
    Thanks again.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
    Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward  messages to the BB.
    Those are basically the options.
    Hope that helps! Let us know!

  • I bought a Canon 8400F scanner- question about multiple photos being scanne

    Hi,
    I have a question about about scanning photos. It was posted that if you scan something with multiple photos, it will separate the pictures.
    If I put 6 pictures on the scanner, will it automatically scan them and separate them, or is there something in the software where I select it to separate each picture.
    Thank you

    I'm not at my Mac right now but it should be real obvious in the CanoScan software. Open it up and play around. It will jump out at you.
    You don't tell it to select "each" picture. You merely tell it that there are multiple pictures and it then does everything automatically.

  • Multiple computer syncing

    Is this even posible. I have multiple computer 1 main at the office and two at home (all mac of cause) can i sync on them without deleting what was sync on the other? Just need to know if anyone had success with this issue.

    You can sync different content with different computers. For example, you could synch your contacts and calendar with your office computer, and your media (music, videos, etc.) from your home computer.
    The details are in this article:

  • Question about multiple application modules.

    Hello,
    Suppose I have 2 database schema’s. For both schemas I have 1 application module. All view objects are in the same project.
    For each application module I have an application definition.
    Is it possible to link between these two applications? Because sometimes these database schema’s link to each other and you would like to jump from one application directly to the other.
    For example you have orders locates in 1 DB schema and customers in another DB schema.
    You would want to jump from the order directly to the customer details in the second schema.
    Is this possible? Or do I need to make nested application modules etc?
    I can find very little info about this; the JHS def guide does not offer much information about multiple application modules etc.
    -Anton

    Anton,
    Yes, you can jump aroundd as you like.
    You just can't use view links between VO's based on different db schema tables.
    Nesting AM's doesn't help there, the DB connection of the top-level AM will be used.
    Why don't you create synomyms for the tables in the other schema?

  • Question about multiple ipods on one computer

    I set up my own ipod nano on my computer and I have been using it without problems for some time. Now someone else in my family got the same ipod nano. I do not know how to set up this new ipod. Do i use the same software already on my computer? Do i just register this new ipod? Please help. Thank you

    Hello!
    Let me explain this in detail for you:
    The Do Not Disconnect screen
    It is normal for your iPod to say this message to you when you connect it to your computer.
    When you need to disconnect it from your computer, you'll first need to eject it.
    There are a few ways to eject your iPod; through iTunes, the Safely Remove Hardware program, and "My Computer".
    Through iTunes
    Ejecting your iPod via iTunes depends on what setting your iPod is on for.
    Connect your iPod. Go into Edit> preferences> iPod. See what setting your iPod is on; "automatic" or "manual".
    Automatic
    If you aren't restoring, or updating your iPod, iTunes should automatically eject your iPod from iTunes. If it doesn't, then right-click the name of your iPod in iTunes, and make sure that the "enable for disk use" is un-checked.
    Manual
    If you need to eject your iPod from iTunes if the setting is "manual", click the little arrow that's next to the name of your iPod in the left source list in iTunes.
    Through the "Safely Remove Hardware" program
    Look at the bottom-right corner of your screen, and there's the system tray icons there. If the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon is there, click on it, select your iPod, and click "stop".
    Through "My Computer"
    Go to "My Computer".
    Find your iPod's listing there (it's typically "E:" or "F:").
    Right-click it, click on "eject".
    For additional information about ejecting your iPod, check this Apple Support articles about it.
    Safely disconnecting your iPod
    About the "Do Not Disconnect" and "OK to Disconnect" screens on iPod
    Any more questions? I'll be glad to try to help you again.

  • I have a question about multiple administrative accounts on the same computer.

    Let's say there are two users of the same computer. Each has his/her own separate admin account so they can log in under their own account. When you perform certain housekeeping functions on this computer like software updates, safari reset, cleaning up cache and cookies, virus scans and Time Machine backups, do you have to perform all of these functions for each admin account?

    JazzmanJohn wrote:
    do you have to perform all of these functions for each admin account?
    software updates, virus scans and Time Machine backups  - No
    Although deleting a virus infeced file in another admin account will present a small problem.
    safari reset, cleaning up cache and cookies, - Yes
    These things are stored in each user account, thus must be cleaned in each user account.
    For instance if you want to reset Safari or clean it's caches that will have to be done in each user account.
    Doing it for one doesn't do it for other accounts.
    However system cache cleaning and using some softwares to clean browser caches may use Sudo or "root" priviledges to access all accounts and OS X.
    For instance, you can try to see if OnyX will clean all the Safari accounts caches at once, but I doubt it will actually reset Safari in all accounts, might not get the cookies neither.
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
    Thing to keep in mind is, altought your Admin, your not Root. Only root has complete access to all files.
    Admin can use SUDO, which is a timed window of root access. Safari doesn't use SUDO, it's designed to function only in the account it's running in.
    So to reset Safari, it will have to be done from within that account, unless you know where the files are to be deleted, then you can use SUDO in Terminal.

  • Simple questions about multiple ipods on one computer.

    i would like to share my music with my girlfriends ipod. how do i do that? she also has a g3.
    if i copy the music to her computer, is there a way to make it appear on her itunes without having to manually open every song AND without erasing what is already on her computer's itunes?
    thanks for the help.
    I book G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    1. If there is no music on the iPod already, plug her iPod into your computer, I believe that'll load all your tracks onto it.
    2. Copying the music to her computer is fine, just put everything onto a blank CD or DVD (Burned as a Data CD/DVD in Preferences>Advanced>Burning) then you can add all your songs on her iTunes (without erasing anything existing on her iTunes) - if you need help doing that, let me know.

  • Another question about multiple copies

    I've seen several others posting questions lately about making multiple copies, but my question is just slightly different. I'll be making an iDVD project for our 5th Grade Recognition at school. Obviously, I'll be making it on my Mac at home. However, once it's finished and I have my final DVD, I'm going to need to make over 50 copies.
    Last year, when I did the presentation as a Powerpoint show, it was easy enough to use multiple (Windows) computers at school to duplicate. There are 4 computers that I used to just rotate CD's in and out of to make copies.
    Will I be able to use a Windows machine to make copies of an iDVD disk? I know that the computers can burn DVD's, so that's not an issue. I can't remember exactly which programs the computer have. I believe that one is Sonic something. The one that I used for CD's was IRecordNow (or something like that).
    Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?

    Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?
    No. Only DVDs made in a production house have copy protection applied.

  • Questions about e-mail sync etc...

    Hi,
    I will be setting up a new Palm Pre Plus Verizon phone soon but had a couple of questions to make sure I now what's possible.
    1) Is it possible to sync only the Calendar / Contacts from Microsoft Exchange but not the e-mail (work account)?  Can the same be done for other accounts (google, yahoo, etc...)?
    2) If not, can the Calendar/Contacts be set to automatically download but the e-mail be set for manual control (downloaded by user action only) thus choosing never to download?
    3) If so, can those preferences be set differently per individual account (Exchange vs Google vs Yahoo etc...)?
    Also...I've seen several Palm reps on the posts suggesting users check out homebrew / 3rd party opportunities to customize their phones even though Palm doesn't "support them.  Can I get an overall take on whether this is a good idea or not?  Do you run the risk of ruining / breaking your phone using those types of 3rd party solutions (I would assume not if your reps are suggesting to look there...)?
    Thanks very much for any input.

    Hi,
    Thank you so much, you've been a big help.
    Would it be possible to bother you (or anyone in the know) with more complicated questions I've been facing trying to set up the palm?
    I understand about how to Exchange (and control e-mail).
    I still have questions though, on e-mail / contact setup.
    My questions revolve around multiple accounts from the same place, and also AIM buddy control (and multiple AIM accounts).
    Basically...is it a problem to pull in multiple Gmail accounts for example (more than 1)?  I use 2 different Gmail accounts (one for my friends / family, and one for work)?  That along with the Exchange acount?
    As for AIM...I also have two AIM accounts I use (one for friends / family, one when working).  when I created both accounts, they sort of merged, and both stayed on (I wasn't able to control signing one off, keeping one on at a time)?  Am I just not finding the right settings?
    Also...the contacts list was a disaster after bringing in the AIM accounts.  Even after deleting the accounts (because I couldn't get them to work right), the screennames stayed in my contacts list, and when I try to delete them (swipe away, choose delete) they say AIM profiles can't be deleted...even though the account is deleted.  Am I missing something??
    I read in the manual, you are supposed to be able to stop contacts from feeding from certain accounts by choosing the menue / prerences / selecting the account / stopping the sync....but that wasn't even an option as the only "account" listed in preferences is the Palm account.
    I'm just terribly confused on how to set things up and what can be controlled.  Thanks for any help you can provide (or a place I can go for this assistance).
    Thanks!

  • Question about multiple computers on one iTunes Store account

    I have an iPad which I need to sync with several (actually 8) different Macs around the country. This is the nature of the work I'm doing at the moment. I plan to set all 8 Macs to the same iTunes Store account. I don't need to authorise them to play music or video, but I do want to be able to transfer content and apps I purchase so that I can backup the iPad whichever office I happen to visit. If I purchase an app in one office, presumably I can download it again for free on any of the other Macs should I need to. Understand that this is purely so that I can sync and backup in multiple locations without losing my apps or content.
    Does anyone know if what I'm proposing will work? Is the "Authorized Computer" limit purely a limit on playing back content in iTunes? Or will I be prevented from syncing my apps and content on more than 5 computers?

    What is not yet clear is quite how the new rules square up with the old rules that one account can be authorized on up to five computers and up to five accounts authorized on any one device.
    Unless I'm much mistaken I think you can backup an iPad/iPhone on any computer running iTunes without authorizing it to any of the individual accounts that may have been used for purchased content on it first, although transferring purchased content from the device to the computer does require prior account authorization.
    Since you can re-download apps at any time and, at least if you are in the US, now re-download previously purchased music, I think you should be fine. Thought I'd still suggest that it might be easier to take a portable version of your library with you than set up eight independent instances of iTunes.

  • Question about multiple audio tracks

    Hello,
    I see that imovie has only 2 audio tracks available when creating a movie. I need more than two since I will be working with a voiceover track, a soundtrack and at least one background/environment track all at one time. I won't be able to use the sound recorded with the video so that "track" is not an option.
    My question is; Am I out of luck here and need to spend the 1K for studio pro to add more multiple audio tracks?
    Also, I tried working with garageband but since all of my audio tracks import in at a minimum of 40 beats per minute, the voiceovers are all sped up and sound chipmunky.
    Thanks for any help!

    Well I didn't mean to irritate you...LOL And yes, I realize that this is the iM 6 forum but the gist of my question was related to multiple audio tracks in iM and thought I would ask about it in the forum pertaining to the latest release.
    I had already posted a question in the GB forum regarding the bpm problem and found no answers so I was pretty much about to shelve that idea and forgo the whole garageband thing; this without knowing about the new "swap" features. I just updated to iM 6 yesterday.
    As far as the "on-tape" raw audios: I was working on my movie in iM4. I wanted to add more audio bits but I don't have a proper mic for my G5 so I recorded the audio bits on dv8 tape through my camcorder. I imported the video (the image was the inside of my lens cap!), extracted the audio, took those audio files and imported them into GarageBand. That's when I noticed the bpm problem.
    I'm sorry about the lack of info I originally gave but like I said, I had pretty much gave up on the idea of using GarageBand. I'm pretty new at this and I'm trying to decide what I need in terms of software to get what I want out of my movie. I'd be willing to pay for FCxp but still looking into whether I need to do just that or whether I can get by by using imovie and now it looks like GarageBand too.
    ah, thanks for that
    what irritates me, Prince wrote:
    The audio tracks were voiceovers that came from my
    dv8tape, imported into imovie4.
    ... ehm, but this is the iM 6(six) section, as said,
    iM 6 allows now "swapping" files with GB3... (I'm way
    back in the 90ies.... see my specs... )
    so, video is in some iM, and he wants to use the
    actual "on-tape" raw audios...

  • Question about multiple recovery partitions

    Hello,
    My question is: what is the default partition for toshiba z930 ultrabooks.
    According to Windows 8 disk management, there are 6 partitions on my drive. From what I understand, the 6Gb is for hibernation (my computer's RAM is 6Gb), and the 101.38Gb is the main partition, and the 10.60Gb is for Toshiba recovery. I heard that the 450Mb partition is meant for Windows repair tools. But why are there two of such partitions?
    Recently I did a reset using the built-in windows 8 function. Not sure if this caused the "duplicate" 450Mb partition.
    What is the default partitioning scheme for toshiba z930 ultrabooks? My purpose of asking is partly out of curiosity but mainly because I am afraid of creating more of these 450Mb partitions if I should do a reset in future. Logically, a reset should not cause the duplicate partition but why are there two seemingly identical partitions? (I did not check the partition scheme when I first bought the computer, so I am not sure if I caused the duplicate. )
    Thanks very much in advance for taking the time to help me. I've attached a screenshot of the partitions.
    http://oi57.tinypic.com/2rw6zia.jpg

    I don't have a Toshiba machine here, but I know something about Windows 8 and about UEFI/GPT partitioning. I can tell you what four of the six partitions are for.
    Starting from the left side, the first partition contains the recovery environment (starts with the Choose-an-option menu); the second (System) partition contains the boot files; the C partition has Windows of course; and the 10.6 GB one is the recovery partition, which contains the image of the whole drive (including itself).
    I don't know what Toshiba uses the other two partitions (450 MB and 6 GB) for. Perhaps somebody here will explain those to us.
    Peculiar that Toshiba does not have the 128 MB Microsoft Reserved Partition. I thought everybody must have that one.
       Configure UEFI/GPT-Based Hard Drive Partitions
    PS A Reset preserves the partitioning and the hibernation image is the file C:\hiberfil.sys.

  • OT: question about multiple root directories

    ok, so on this website i just transferred to a new host, i
    password
    protected a directory, and for many people (possibly
    everyone) it is
    asking for the login info twice or three times before it lets
    you in. i
    contacted the host tech support, who gave me an explanation
    that i don't
    think makes sense. or maybe it does, but i don't think
    applies to my
    problem. and even if it does, they didn't offer any advice on
    how to
    solve the problem, just what might be causing it. bad tech
    support.
    anyway, i had a different idea about what the might be. there
    are two
    root directories on the server: public_html and www. they
    both have the
    same files, and therefore my protected directory is protected
    in both
    places. to me, that seems like it could be why it's asking
    for login
    info more than once.
    so, i want to find out if this is the case by deleting the
    one i'm not
    uploading to. so basically, my question is, if i have chosen
    public_html
    as the directory that i upload to, is it safe to delete the
    www
    directory? or is there a reason that i need two root
    directories and,
    essentially, two copies of my site on the server?
    i realize these are probably questions best suited for my
    host, but i'm
    unimpressed with their tech support so far (though i like
    everything
    else about them), and i'm confident that someone here will be
    able to
    answer this question for me.
    thanks!

    ok, well that's good to know! thanks.
    also, i changed my mind about the tech support response.
    here's what he
    said:
    Typically when you are seeing multiple login prompts like
    what you
    describe it has to do with content/site linking.
    Here is a rather wordy explanation:
    When entering a password-protected web site for the first
    time, you
    will occasionally notice that you are asked for your
    password twice.
    This may happen immediately after you entered the password
    the first
    time, or it may happen when you click on the first link
    after
    authenticating the first time.
    This happens for a very simple, but nonetheless confusing,
    reason,
    again having to do with the way that the browser caches the
    login
    information.
    Login information is stored on the browser based on the
    authentication realm, specified by the AuthName directive,
    and by
    the server name. In this way, the browser can distinguish
    between
    the Private authentication realm on one site and on another.
    So, if
    you go to a site using one name for the server, and internal
    links
    on the server refer to that server by a different name, the
    browser
    has no way to know that they are in fact the same server.
    For example, if you were to visit the URL
    http://example.com/private/,
    which required authentication, your
    browser would remember the supplied username and password,
    associated with the hostname example.com. If, by virtue of
    an
    internal redirect, or fully-qualified HTML links in pages,
    you are
    then sent to the URL
    http://www.example.com/private/,
    even though
    this is really exactly the same URL, the browser does not
    know this
    for sure, and is forced to request the authentication
    information
    again, since example.com and www.example.com
    <
    http://www.example.com> are
    not exactly the same hostname. Your
    browser has no particular way to know that these are the
    same web site.
    at first i thought that didn't make any sense because i've
    been using
    the same url every time. but after paying closer attention
    during the
    login process, i see that he's right. i've been typing in the
    url with
    the www, but once you get logged in, there is no www. so i
    tried typing
    it in without the www, and i got right in with the first
    attempt.
    so, i suppose my question now is, can i make it so that
    typing in the
    url with the www, lets you in on the first login attempt? or
    should i
    just tell everyone to leave out the www?
    thanks for the help!

  • Question about multiple Script declarations

    I'm reading Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 Bible.
    On page 121 it states:
    "Any particular <fx:Script> element can contain nested ActionScript or use the source property to link to an external Actionscript file, but it cannot do both at the same time. You can, however, have as many <Script> declarations in a single MXML file as you need>"
    My questions are about the last sentence.
    1)  They specifically used <fx:Script> and <Script>. Are these two different entities?
    2)  I've never seen examples of using multiple <fx:Script> declarations in a project. How would this work?
    3)  Are they promoting bad practices by making this claim?
    Thank you
    Kristin

    Although multiple script tags are allowed, I'd guess that they're not commonly used.
