Calendar synch with work computer, Music synch with home?

I love my new iPod touch. I want to use it as both a music library and as a PDA, but that seems to be the rub.
My music library doesn't belong on my work computer, it belongs on my home computer. My work calendar belongs only on my work computer. I don't really want to put work email on my work computer, only my calendar.
Work calendar is in Microsoft Outlook 2003 on a PC.
Can this be done? Please tell me yes. If yes, please tell me how.

Yes, it can. In iTunes on your home computer, with the IPT connected, click the Info tab and make sure the calendar sync option is not checked. Install iTunes for Windows on your work PC. Connect your IPT. Do not let it auto-sync (click No at the prompt). The IPT will mount in iTunes, go through the tabs and make sure options to sync music/movies/TV shows are UNchecked. In the Info tab check the box to sync your Outlook calendar.
Now, when you connect to your work PC your calendar will sync, and when you connect to your home PC your music/videos will sync.
Note that you can't sync emails regardless - checking the box to sync mail accounts syncs +just the settings+, not the emails themselves.
Hope this helps...

How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

Sorry iphones are meant to be sync to one iTunes media library.
You could copy your music and put it on your work computer and then sync it.
If you try to sync to one and then sync to other its going to wipe the phone and remove the old sync with the new sync.

Can I share calendars on a work and personal device, with different iCloud user names?

I'm relatively new to my work iPhone, and very new to my iPad. I've been entering events in the iCloud calendar, which is linked to the iPad under a personal Apple id and password.
My work iPhone, which (currently) has a different Apple id and password, set up when work provided it, syncs with Outlook on my work laptop using an App called Mobile Iron. I have very little control or knowledge of this, although it works just fine.
It woiuld be useful to have any events I set up dumped into the same calendar, viewable both on my personal iPad and my work iPhone, but I dare not do anything to interfere with what my company IT has set up. Any recommednded strategies?

You can try sharing your iCloud calendar with yourself as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694. If you work phone has an iCloud account, you can privately share your calendar with it, giving your read and write access. If it doesn't, you can publically share it, giving you read-only access. This should give you the ability to view the shared calendar alongside your work calendar without merging the two.

Unregistered iPad with old computer, and register with new computer

My sound is not working with the computer speakers and with headphones, help?!

my sound is not working with my headphones or the the computer speakers

You indicate you have a "brand new Air", you have a 14 day exchange, and the warranty of which you paid for regarding genius bar in-shop diagnostics (and repair if necessary)
What year model Air do you have?
On the first question,....are the headphones attached when you have your Air in sleep?
If yes, then refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
resolution as to same yet, no.

Home Sharing with Work computer PLEASE HELP

This is so frustrating.
I have three computers, two personal and one from work. The two personal ones syncs perfect but the one from work just doesn't sync. I am assuming the firewall is closing traffic on the Home Sharing ports. Now, as you all know I cannot open ports myself and my tech admin refuses to do it as well. I m on the road every single week, and every time I charge my phone with my work laptop it syncs and delete all the stuff I have only on my home computer. this is so annoying.
Any solutions for my problem?
Do you know if iTunes 9.1 solved this issue?
Any good apps for windows that do a better job in syncing itunes?
Any other suggestions???
Thanks
IK

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Those are outdated instructions, you want iTunes > File > Home Sharing.

Syncing contacts with work computer

I'm not entirely sure where to post this. But I'm a bit stuck. Here is my situation:
I have an iMac at home, a MBP at the office, an iPad, and an iPhone that all sync over the cloud and everything works wonderful. I also have a windows PC at work. How can I get my contacts to sync with that windows PC? I have itunes signed in on my Apple ID, and I have tried connecting my phone/ipad and checking the sync contacts button. The contacts never appear in my outlook contacts. iTunes Match works great on iTunes on the PC, so I can't figure out whats stopping the contacts from syncing. I am by no means a PC expert, but I thought I'd be able to figure this out.
Any ideas?

Oh so there is a iCloud control panel for windows. Problem solved.
DOH!

Search not working in music library with newest update

since the iTunes update, I cannot type anything in the search box when looking in my music library. Anyone have this issue? any cures??

Hi, TEB008,
This typically happens when one of the DLLs that the help
compiler uses is missing or incorrectly registered. Here are some
instructions on how to re-register this DLL from the command line:
http://frogleg.mvps.org/helptechnologies/htmlhelp/hhtips.html#hhc6003
I'd also recommend that you download and run MJ's Help
Diagnostics, and choose the option to "Refresh Registration of all
HH 1.x DLLs".

Sync iPhone with work Outlook (Exchange Server) and home Outlook

Hi all,
I love my new iPhone 3G!
There is just one main thing remaining that I need it to do in order to fully replace my previous Windows Mobile phone functionality:
I need it to keep my work Outlook's contacts and calendars synchronized with my home Outlook (Outlook 2003 on Windows XP PC). Note: I do not want separate sets of work and personal contacts and/or calendar items, since I want all contacts and calendar items in both systems (differentiate by the Outlook category field).
With my previous Windows Mobile phone, it would sync with my work Exchange account (via wireless ActiveSync), and then resolve this with my local/home PC's Outlook when connected to my PC (using the local version of ActiveSync). When done, any contact or calendar change made at work, on my phone, or on my home PC would eventually be synchronized with all 3 systems (i.e., phone, work Outlook, and home Outlook).
The new iPhone 3G first beautifully sync'd to my local/home Outlook with iTunes 7.7. Then, when I configured my work Exchange ActiveSync with contacts and calendar sync on, it unfortunately cleared those sync'd items. Now the iPhone is beautifully sync'd with my work Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, but iTunes will no longer allow my local sync. Thus, any changes at work or on the iPhone are not reflected at home
I researched this a little, and I see that the Apple MobileMe service may be able to help me. Can anyone tell me if it will allow me to sync the exact same items with my local Outlook, the iPhone, and directly/indirectly with my work Outlook (via Exchange ActiveSync)?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I'm excited to finally sync my work email with my iPhone. Our IT didn't support it and we work off of an Exchange server. I, too, was nervous about which contacts to sync. While I want my work email, I don't need my contacts and would rather have mine from my mac at home. Unfortunately, you can only do one at a time. The following paragraph is from a c net review. Find the entire article here (the part about the Exchange Server is about 1/2 way down):
http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-iphone-3g/
//Once you're ready to go, the iPhone will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that while the iPhone can support multiple POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo accounts, for instance), it syncs with only one Exchange server and, worse, with only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it once you start the sync. (You'll be notified before it happens.)//
Hope this helps!

I can see my wi-fi with windows computer, but NOT with any of my apple devices

I cannot see my wi-fi with any Apple device, but AM able to use my non-Apple comupter

That is a reversal of note.. normally people are struggling to get their windoze boxes to work.
Reset the Airport to factory and start over.
Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Leave off the wireless security until you confirm it works... then add wpa2 personal security with a 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
You can also try fixing wireless channels.. test 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz in that order.

Problem with work group bridge authentication with ACS 5.x

I have seen this issue before, the AP is present an old PAC and doesnt update until after you reboot. You can open a wireless TAC case and they will get you the right image as to when this was fixed. As a workaround you can extend the lifetime of the PAC in your authentication settings for EAP-FAST.

Work computer to Ipod to Home computer?

Hate to be an idjut, but I downloaded all my stuff on my computer at work to my Ipod, bought a new computer today, and want to transfer from my Ipod to my new computer, I just wiped out everything on the Ipod trying it but I can get it all back at work, what's the easy way?
thanks

i think the easiest way would be to create a playlist on the computer that you want to take your library from....and transfer your entire library to that playlist. next go to edit and choose preferences. than click on the advanced tab, and then the burning settings. change the burn format to data cd and burn the playlist with your whole library. each disc will hold anywhere from 130 to 150 songs at a time. do this until the library is burnt. it might be helpful to number the discs when burning. then take to the new computer with itunes and import the entire disc one by one. when you are done just hook up the ipod and tell it you want to make that the library for that ipod and youre done....ps you may have to authorize the new computer for purchased itunes music and you may want to change the burn setting back to audio cd when done

Websites work on my work computer, but not at home?

I have an iMac G5 20" 2.0GHz OSX 10.4.7 at work running Safari 2 that will open any website I want, but when I get home and try to open the same websites on my iMac G5 20" 2.1GHz OSX 10.4.7 running Safari 2, they don't open.
I don't believe the sites are just down at the same time everyday. Any ideas? Thanks.

Jason,
If you would like to turn on the built-in firewall on your Mac, you could do the followings:
1. Select System Preferences
2. Under the Internet & network section, select Sharing
3. Select the Firewall tab, click on the Start button to turn it on. You also may want to enable the Stealth mode by click on the Advanced... button
There is a couple of services that you may want to enable while you are configuring the network sharing, I normally turn on SSH and FTP for remote access.

HT3819 HI, I WAS WONDERING, CAN I DOWNLOAD ITUNES ON MY WORK COMPUTER AND LOG IN WITH MY APPLE ID, WILL I HAVE MY MUSIC LIBRARY AVAILABLE AT WORK?

can I download itunes on my work computer, log into with my apple ID and still have my music library at work?

If your employer allows you to do that, then yes.
dramos714 wrote:

Music you have purchased from the iTunes Store, yes.
Music you have put in your iTunes Library from other sources, no, unless you have subscribed to iTunes Match and all your songs are stored in Apple's iCloud as well.
