Can I switch back & forth from Mac to Windows PC on my iPhone?

Am wondering if its possible to use my iPhone with both my at home iBook and my Windows PC at work?

masonsbeau,
As long as they both meet the system requirements the general answer is yes.
However, you will only be able to sync music and videos from one of them. However, contacts and calendars can be synced with both, or only one your choice.
Purchased music can be transfered to the other computer using the iPhone even if you don't sync music with that computer. As long as both computers are authorized on your iTunes Store account, go to File -> Transfer purchases to copy purchased songs to the computer you aren't syncing with. The same steps can be used to sync songs purchased on your iPhone to the computer as well.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

How to switch back and forth from mac to windows????

for some reason, i'm unable to switch back and forth from windows to mac right now. i rarely shut down my mac, but did today and when it restarted, it naturally restarted in windows. i then held down the keys i thought i was supposed to and restarted it, but don't have the option of getting back into my mac side. what keys am i supposed to hold down while restarting the computer?? i feel like the mac side is being held hostage! i thought it was ctrl & the apple key that i was to hold down at the same time. anyone? anyone??

Hi and welcome to Discussion,
to 'release the hostage' you have to hold down the 'Option/Alt'-key during restart and are then greeted by a Boot-Menu from which you can choose which one to boot.
Once in OSX you might want to go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and choose OSX as the default.
After the needed restart OSX boots up automatically unless you again use the Option-key to choose Windows.

What happened to the little icon that let you switch back & forth from mini player?

In earlier versions of iTunes you could easily switch with from full window to mini player by clicking a small icon on top right of large window. iTunes 12 makes you use a key board shortcut...any thoughts?

You open the MiniPlayer by clicking the artwork in the top central status area.
You close the MiniPlayer by clicking the small X at the top left.
The tool below that shows or hides artwork.

Switching my programs from mac to windows?

Hopefully there is a way that i can switch all of my adobe programs from my mac to my pc.

Depends on which version you already own.
If Cloud (CC) then yes. Mac and PC versions are part of your membership.
If CS6 then yes with a platform swap
Order product | Platform, language swap
If CS5 then only by paying to upgrade to CS6 or joining the Cloud.
If earlier then only by joining the Cloud or buying CS6.

Switching 3Gen Nano from Mac to Windows

OK, I know what you're thinking, so let's not go there.
In the meantime, I've purchased a nano in Japan for use with a Mac which I purchased at the same time. For a variety of reasons, I've returned to using a Windows machine. Don't ask.
Now, I'd like to sync my nano to Windows. I've done all the Right Stuff, including a downloading the latest version of iTunes and restoring the Nano.
Regrettably, the little bugger simply runs and runs, with a message that says "do not disconnect". The restore doesn't seem to have taken, I can't load anything to it, it doesn't appear to charge fully. I've left it to run overnight, and when I return the next am, the nano is still (apparently) charging.
So in a nutshell, I had a Mac-based Nano which I tried to convert to Windows using the steps on the site -- 1. download the latest version of Windows iTunes 2. use the restore feature to ah, "restore" your Nano to the software on you PC.
Except it's not working that way.
Any help you can give is appreciated.

All righty. I've checked and the iPod is using the FAT32 format. But still, every time I plug it into the PC, it runs with the message "do not connect". It'll run like this for hours -- even overnight. When I do shut the PC down and disconnect the iPod, I get the "Please restore" message in several languages. But iTunes doesn't restore it.
I've uninstalled iTunes and will reinstall it and try again, but to date, this is a very expensive device that I can't even use as a doorstop. Hmmm. I'll keep working on it. If you think of anything else to try, please do let me know.

How do I switch iTunes Library from Mac to Windows?

Well, my Macbook died today. Fortunately I have all my media on an external drive. Also, I have a Windows machine. How do I point my Windows iTunes to access my external drive/media? Also, I have an iPhone - will that be messed up; will all my data be erased. Oh lord, what a nightmare! (At least my Mac is backed up, so someday I'll be able to restore that to a new Mac.) Is it as simple as Preferences > Advanced > "iTunes Media folder location" and changing that location? Also, will Windows even be able to read the disk? I'm freakin'.

if the external HD is formatted for Mac, you may need to install MacDrive on the windoze machine.
good luck !

Can I switch back to my old iPhone from Droid?

So, I had an iphone for two years and loved it. When my contract was up, something possessed me to try a Droid. Well, now I am experiencing major remorse. I want my iphone back. I still have the old phone. Can I switch back to it? I know that Droid and iphone use different kinds of cards or something, so I know it's not as easy as replacing a sim card, but is it possible? How much would it cost? Thank you!!!

Before you decide to change back, bear in mind that the iPhone 3G is not supported for the latest iOS version so you will be out of the loop for some of the more recent features available to 3GS and iPhone 4 unless you upgrade your hardware to 3GS or 4.

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 transfer license from mac to windows

Hello,
In 2011, I bought a license 'adobe Creative Suite 5.5' (students) for a mac.
My Macbook crashed again and I want to switch to a PC.
Is it possible to switch my license from mac to windows?
Thanks

No. that only applies to "current" versions, meaning CS6. You will have to buy the commercial CS6 upgrade and make the switch or just buy a new license if you are still eligible for S&T pricing.

How can I switch back and forth from Classic to Tiger

How can I switch back and forth from OS9.2.2 to Tiger without restarting? I want Classic as my startup system.

I think that the number of clicks to open a file is a rather shortsighted way to compare two operating systems.<<</div>
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME!
I happen to think it's a pain to click twice on files when I'm used to clicking just once.
But Tiger is a nice operating system. I enjoy that it has much more capabilities than the OS9. I mean, Tiger keeps up with the advancing internet. My beef is really against OS9. I can open OS9 in Tiger but not Tiger in OS9.

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account?

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account? Should I activate it via WiFi or iTunes? I am filtering on the MAC no and I cannot read that number from the new iPhone without having it activated??!!
All I want do is to have the new phone activated and then tested!

Yes, you can do that.
