Can I sync my XP PC with an iBook running only OSX?

I want to sync up both computers using my wireless network, is this possible? Or would I need to dual boot my iBook? The iBook would be the G4. Or would I have to change my network settings to something specific? If I can't do it with XP, I was looking to upgrade to Vista. I wanted to do this because I was getting the iBook as a laptop and I do a lot of work on my desktop as well and I want to take the work with me, nothing huge, mostly word documents.

ArtNoisenik, Welcome to the discussion area!
What exactly do you mean by 'sync'? OS X has built-in capability to file share with Windows.

    You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

  • How can I sync my Palm memos with my iBook/Apple application(s)?

    Hi, I used to sync my Palm Tungsten E2 with my office PC (to Lotus Notes via Intellisync, a 3rd party system - not a good experience). I gave up and recently set my Palm up to sync with my iBook G4 at home. However, I've discovered that iSync only syncs Contact and Calendar information, at least that's how it appears. I want to also sync my Palm memos, a Palm application that I use extensively. Does anyone know how I can do this? I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this in iSync, at least not a way that is obvious. Thanks in advance for your advice...
    And yes, someday I will get an iPhone so this is all moot! But until then...

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    To enable memo synchronization with your Palm device, simply drag the following pair of conduits…
    • Memo Conduit
    • Memos Conduit
    …out of the Disabled Conduits folder where the iSync Palm Conduit installer placed them, and back into the active Conduits folder. This will re-enable memo synchronization to the Palm Desktop application.
    And, don't count on the iPhone resolving your issues: there is no synchronized equivalent to the Palm memo capability in the iPhone and iTunes.

  • Can I sync an iPhone 3G with an iBook G3?

    I know it's an old computer, but would it work? Want to give my old iPhone to my folks.

    Yes probably, if both have very old OS on them.
    To have a new OS on the phone you need iTunes 10 which cannot be installed on an old PPC computer.

    can't sync Notes in iCloud with Notes in my Macbook Pro

    You can't sync contacts on your Mac with iCloud running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  That requires Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  If your system can't run this, you'll have to go to turn of contact syncing with iCloud and either start syncing them with iTunes, or use an alternative service such as a Google contacts.  You could, for example, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then set up a Gmail account and sync them as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • Can't sync new iPhone 4 with iTunes without it locking up iTunes

    Got my new iPhone 4 last Friday. They tell me I need to register it and sync it. Didn't get around to trying that until yesterday. Tried most of the day and night last night, using iTunes 9.whatever it was. Kept on locking up iTunes. Tried deleting iTunes, reinstalling it and trying again. Didn't work. Even trying to register the phone made iTunes lock up.
    Downloaded iTunes 10 last night. Have the same situation, BUT, it finally did allow me to finally register my phone this afternoon. Thought the problem was solved. Still won't allow me to sync.
    Sync starts up (took it off the auto-sync setting) and it says it is going to backup the device - Step 1. Sometimes the progress bar moves 1/4 inch, sometimes 1/2 inch. Sometimes it just has the moving pattern on it. Once or twice, it actually got to Step 2, whatever that is. It always locks up. I've left it running for hours... still won't work.
    Was told to delete iTunes, restart, delete trash and reinstall it. Tried that SEVERAL times, still didn't work. Was told to delete some other files (the IT guy was standing beside me because I have NO clue as to what to do with these files) - at least 1 file from the Library and not certain where the others were. That didn't work either. It just keeps on locking up iTunes and quite often, when I check with Force Quit, it shows that iTunes isn't responding. I repaired disk permissions. Didn't work. I unchecked what to sync - just trying to sync Apps now, and it still doesn't work.
    All software is up-to-date on both the phone as well as my MBP. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
    Just tried it again and just plugging in the iPhone caused the beach ball to start spinning. I've GOT to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    After purchasing a new iPhone 5S I had a problem syncing iTunes with the iPhone...At the Apple Store, the Service Rep backed up my iPhone to iCloud in order to transfer all data from the old phone to the new phone. At home when I tried to sync iTunes with my new iPhone 5S, iTunes would not recognize my new phone. I discovered iTunes was configured to back up data to my Mac hard drive and the iPhone was configured to back up data to iCloud. There was a conflict, subsequently causing iTunes to not recognize my new iPhone 5S. My solution was to delete iCloud from the iPhone. After doing this, iTunes synced with the iPhone with no problems. No data was lost and syncing occurred normally.
    I recommend these as possible solutions:
    1) The Apple store will back up your phone using iCloud. Make sure that iTunes is configured to back up to iCloud before you plug your new phone into iTunes for syncing/back-up. If your iTunes is configured to back up data to your hard drive, ensure that the Apple Store does not back up your phone data to iCloud. You will have to back up all iPhone data yourself at home on iTunes.
    2) If they insist on backing up your phone data to iCloud from your old phone to your new phone then, be sure to delete the iCloud account off your new phone before you try to sync your new phone to iTunes.
    I used the 2nd solution to solve my syncing issues. Everything works great now. iTunes recognized my new phone and can now sync/back-up data with out problems, error messages or loss of data.
    Hope this helps everyone out! I intend to get drunk to relieve all the stress and hopefully restore my sanity as a result of having to solve this problem while having to act as my own Apple support staff!
