Can I sync iPhone with movies on another Mac?

My main computer is a PB but I do not have enough space to store movies on this machine. iTunes on this machine has all my music but my movies are on another Mac (G5) on my network. Is it possible to get iTunes on my PB to see movies on my G5 so that I can sync my iPhone with movies on that machine?
Thanks
Tony

Your iPhone and itunes on one machine have a unique connection. Device information is kept on your computer and will recognise that phone. To connect the phone to another machine will create a new unique connection between the two, and everything you sync will mirror that machine. You can try syncing with one machine, all your music and stuff but not movies and on the other machine uncheck all selections for syncing other than movies. So to summarise. Machine 1, sync all things except movies. and on machine 2 sync nothing but movies, leaving everything else unsynced. It may not work, but it's worth a try, it won't mess anything up.

If you do, you will lose all of your information on the phone. You can only sync to 1 itunes library at a time on 1 computer.

Right click on your device under Portable devices and click on Uninstall and when the uninstaller box pop ups select delete the driver and click OK. Now click on Scan for hardware changes on top of the page and see if you get apple mobile device support driver under USB Devices and if not then disconnect your device from the computer and try to connect it to a different USB port and check also open control panel and select Apple Mobile Device Support from the List and Click on Repair and check. If still the device is not showing under USB then uninstall the following services from your computer.
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if unable to uninstall ignore and move to next)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Restart your computer once after the uninstallation is completed and then download latest version of iTunes from http://WWW.apple.com/iTunes/download
Locate the iTunes setup file and right click the file and run the installation file as Administrator and let the installation complete.
Then check if your device gets deteced in iTunes and if still the device is not detecting in itunes then go to device manager and see under Usb if you can see Apple Mobile Device Support Driver and continue with the step. 5 of above given link in my previous post. And if still thedevice is not showing under USB then right click on your device under potable device and click update driver and first check for updates automatically and see under USB if you see the driver now and if not then go back to device under portable device select update driver, let me choose driver from the list, Have disk, browse file in the following location " C://Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers and select usbaapl file and install the same (if you can't find the driver on above location then look for the driver in Program Files(x86) instead of Program files and if you can't find usbaapl then look for usbaapl64 and complete the installation and then restart the computer and check if your device get recognized in iTunes.
Note: when installing the drivers keep the iTunes closed till the drivers installation is completed.

Can't sync iPhone with iTunes 9.1 after update (Windows 7)

Hi,
after the succesfull update to iTunes 9.1 synching contacts, dates (Outlook 2007) and bookmarks (Safari 4.0.5) does not work anymore. I haven't had any sync problems before the update. All other app, music and videos gets synched well.
iTunes gives two error messages (translated from german, maybe it's an localzation problem?):
1) iTunes couldn't sync information with iphone since Synchronisation is not activated. Do you want to activate Synchronisation?
If you don't activate Synchronisation, itunes can't sync contacts, dates, bookmarks and email accounts to your iphone.
When i try to activate the following error message pops up:
iTunes couldn't access the provider data from sync services. Try again.
Comletely deinstalling and reinstalling of iTunes and ipod services didn't solve the problem.
Has anybody a similar problem or a tip for me? Should I go back to iTunes 9.0.3?
Thanks for any help.

Hi all,
I've found the solution in another thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11296350#11296350
It's oviously a problem of iTunes 9.1, which does not seem to fin the syncserver. exe or some of its dependent files.
User icefoxxxx showed me how to solve the problem. Anyway, Apple has to fix this, many people will have the problem:

you won't believe how I fixed it... my syncserver.exe can't run because some dll is missing, but I notice the dll is in another folder "Apple Application Support". So I copied all files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
over to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
and it solves everything!
Obviously there is something wrong in registering the former folder by the new itunes installation program. Hope next version fixes it.

Can't sync iPhone with New PC - Music is Stuck

Hi, I've been syncing my iPhone with my PC for years but just had to get a new computer. I transfered all my music and everything to the new PC but when I connect my iPhone and click on the playlists, it shows everything greyed out and I can't do anything. How do I sync with the new PC? All I really want to do is add more music. Thank you!

Anybody?

Can't sync iPhone with iTunes on Mac book pro.

I have a iPhone 4 that I just now updated to version 5.1. I have a Macbook Pro running Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
When I connect my phone to the computer w the USB cable, nothing happens. iTunes does not "see" the phone.
I also have wifi and when I try to sync using this, I get a message on the phone "Sync will resume when"Macintosh.local" is available."
I have done a sync before with no problem using the cable. I have restarted both the phone and the computer. What am I doing wrong now?

I have tried all the suggestions on the support site Mr. Finch suggested. I have removed iTunes and after the third try, have downloaded and reinstalled iTurns. Still no sync. I have rebooted the router, computer, iPhone and still no sync.
It worked fine a month ago. Yesterday the sync worked fine on my other macbook pro to sync File Maker Pro.
Any suggestions?

I can't sync iPhone with computer because iTunes won't display the device menu option anymore

The device menu won't appear across the top of iTunes - its as if my iPhone 5 is invisible. This is a sudden surprise after syncing my iPad yesterday. Help?!

You can only sync to one computer at a time.
Before attempting to sync-are you logged in as the same user as the old iTunes, can you select transfer purchases when right click on iPhone icon?

Syncing iPhone with more than one Mac

Up to now I've synced my iPhone with just one of my Macs, the main desktop machine that sits at home. However, when I'm away from home for more than a few days I miss the ability to sync podcasts, applications and do backups.
Is there a way of syncing the phone with a second (or third) Mac without having to have the full iTunes library on those computers? I would like to be able to backup the phone, sync apps and podcasts. Music and videos do not matter as long as the sync doesn't wipe existing copies from the phone. Incidentally, I use MobileMe for syncing calendars and contacts, so that isn't an issue. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Michael

I think that without the steps in that 'minefield' the iPhone will detect a change of Mac and even if all the content is on the other Mac, it will all have to be re-loaded onto the phone. Probably not a good idea to keep the library remotely, I expect. But, copying the whole library may work - if you have the time, it's worth a try. Just sync the iPhone to your desktop machine first so the backup is updated, then copy over the library to the portable, then try syncing there. If it works, great. If not, you can Restore the iPhone from the desktop if you need to.

Can't sync iphone with Outlook

My previous setup was ical on my iphone and mac via icloud. Everything synced great. I have changed from ical to Outlook and and wondering how I can sync my calendar from my iphone to outlook via icloud. Furthermore, I would like to be able to create an outlook event within outlook and it auto sync on my iphone. Any suggestions?

I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support on this exact issue. For me, sync to Outlook 2010 (32bit) worked fine in iTunes 9.2.1, and failed after I upgraded to 10. Apple support finally suggested getting Outlook x64. I'm running Windows 7 x64, but MS Office x86 (How Dell shipped it).
So, before going down that path (which is a bit of major surgery on my PC) I decided to completely remove iTunes 10, and my 10 library from my machine (all my media and apps are shared on another home computer).
I then installed iTunes 9.2.1 on the 'clean' machine, and I did a factory reset on my iPhone.
Low and behold the sync of my contacts, calendar and notes works seamlessly now from 9.2.1. I have tested several appointments and contacts and it works without complaint.
So... hate to tell you this but it looks like the issue is with iTunes 10.
So, for now, I will use my 'work' PC to sync just the contacts, notes and calendar with Outlook 2010 (using iTunes 9.2.1). On my 'home' PC I will sync my media and apps with iTunes 10. I've tested this, and it works fine.
Not an ideal solution, I'm lucky to have access to two machines. I'm convinced the problem is with iTunes 10. If you can, go back to iTunes 9.2.1 (there is a backup of you Library itl file you can use (the version 10 ITL won't work with 9.2.1)
Apple needs to fix 10 ASAP.

Can I Sync IPhone with Vista MCE?

I am running Vista Premium and using the Media Center.
I want to sync my iPhone so I can send videos, photos, etc to it through the Media Center. However when I connect my iPhone to the computer (which does see it) it doesn't show up as a device in the Media Center. Media Center says it works with iPod so I find it odd its not seeing the iPhone.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Or does iPhone just not sync with anything but iTunes for video, and music?
Thanks.

The iPhone only syncs with iTunes at present.

Can't sync iphone with software 4.2

I updated my iphone to 4.2.1 - now when I try to snyc I get a message that I need to upgrade to itunes 10.1 or later. I can't do this since this requires Leopard - I'm still running Tiger. Is there a way to go back to 4.0? Restore settings?? At this point I can no longer sync....thanks!

Is there a way to go back to 4.0?
Not supported by Apple, thus no way to officially do so. Next time, read the requirements before you hit the "agree" button & update. Your only choice now is to update your system or Google how to downgrade & hope you don't completely screw up your phone.
How were you able to put iOS 4.2.1 on your phone to begin with?
