Can I synch to PC then synch back to a Mac ?

Hi all,
Just bought Ipad and tomorrow I'm on a 20 hour flight. But I don't have my laptop with me ( hence bought an Ipad).
Turns out it needs itunes - I'm in a hotel with a PC computer - if I synch my new ipad with this PC, can I then resynch it to a Mac when I get home ?
just want to watch some movies on the plane...
ta

Yes. However, when you sync to the second computer everything will be erased from your iPad and replaced with the information (songs, videos, apps etc.) that are on the second computer. If both computers were at home you could used home sharing to the itunes content is the basically the same for the two computers.

When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it

I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.
Any Ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes it's network issues or settings that cause these types of problems most of the time.
The following article(s) may help you.

How do I find and then use back to my mac with ios5

I wish to be able to do unattended screen sharing over the internet (remote, not local network). I can't seem to see my remote computer on the finder as a shared device. Both computers (Macs) have correct settings in sys pref with screen sharing on and all users set. Is this also what is known as back to my mac, and if not, what is it. I am on Lion on both computers, using IOS 5.

Can you setup both VPN server and Back to My Mac on Lion Server?

I have been trying to figure out if this is possible for some time. Can you use both Back to My Mac and VPN server services at once on a OS X Server?
So far here is what I have found:
- According to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629 Back to My Mac and VPN use the same UDP ports(500,4500)
- I have been able to get my VPN service working by removing all access for Back to My Mac(in System Preferences->iCloud) as well as removing all "Mobile Me" access on our AirPort Extreme.
The moment I try to add an account to access the network via Mobile Me(ie Back to My Mac) on the Airport Extreme, I am no longer able to make a VPN connection.
Checking the Service VPN Logs, no log entry is shown for the failed connection.
So, my questions are:
1. Has anyone been able to get these two working on the same server/network?
2. Is there any way to change the default ports used by the VPN server service on Lion Server?
Thank you to anyone that can provide any suggestions.

Just as FYI....I just started using iCloud and tried the "back to my mac" on a mac server that is my VPN server.
Enabling "back to my Mac" prevents the VPN from being useable.
Disable "back to my mac" and the VPN works again, as verified from both another MAC and an iPhone.

Can I synch my Outlook for Mac 2011 calendars and contacts with my iPhone calendars and contacts?

I have Outlook for Mac 2011 and also use OSx Mountain Lion on my iMac. I want to synch my Calendar and Contacts from Outlook with my iOS devices (iPhone 5 and iPad). How can I do this so I don't have two calendars and two contacts that don't sync with each other?

if you don't have a online account that outlook is syncing the calendar with you can't sync it with anything else.
Just because you enter a appointment, or something, in the outlook calendar that does not auto sync it with other devices unless you have it setup to sync the local, on computer, calendar with a online account of some type. That could be outlook.com or office365 or google or even apple icloud. Once you setup a online account of some type to sync the local calendar with then you can sync that account calendar with orher devices.
This is what the other poster was trying to say but did not fully explain with the mention of icloud.

I have Mountain Lion (10x) not Lion. When I go to Sync Services in the Outlook preferences - there is no Calender there to link to. Is this because MS no longer supports Mountain Lion? Is there any other way to sync to iCal?

Can I activate iphone 6 then switch back to original phone?

I want to purchase an iPhone 6 at Walmart as an upgrade for one of my family lines. At issue is I am told I have to activate immediately, this will make the big reveal Christmas morning moot. My question is, can I upgrade my daughters phone to iphone, then immediately switch her line back to her flip phone?
Thanks, Jim.

marty1966, we don't want to ruin any gift ideas at all. I'm glad you are brining this up to our attention. Wal-Mart have a different guidelines as to how they need to process the order. But, you can always activate the iPhone and then once that is done, you would need to re-program the flip phone back to the network. You can always do that by turning off the iPhone and then dial *228 from the flip phone and select option 1 for programming. I hope this was able to address your concern.

Can't synch photos to my Mac

I haven't connected my iPhone 4S to my Mac 10.7.3 to synch for about 1.5 months and I'm now trying to synch and it seems to be synching everything but my photos. I've closed iTunes and iPhoto and reopened them and synched again and it will not synch photos even when I press Synch on the Photos tab. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Having other post photos to a shared PhotoStream is currently only available on IOS 7 and the PC - I woudll expect a Mac iPhoto release that supprotes it soon (just a guess)
What software versions do I need to be able view and share videos, and contribute to other people's shared streams?
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
AppleTV (second generation) with Apple TV Software Update 6.0 or later
If the owner of the shared stream has turned on the Public Website option and shares the link with you, you will be able to view videos and see photos and video added by all contributors from any up-to-date browser.

How can I synch outlook on my mac with iCloud for my iPad/iphone

File Sharing - OS X Mountain Lion to Windows 8

System migration / Cloning - Copying to temp HDD then copy back to new Mac

Well, what I need...
An instruction how and using what to copy/clone my system firstly to external USB drive then to other (same) Macbook.
Precisely, I have MacBook black one, 80Gb, external HDD is 120Gb... used space on OS X (10.4.8) partition is 34Gb and full partition around 75Gb formatted.
What I want is to clone/copy system and user files (those 34Gb, not the entire partiton, cuz I'm limited with space on external HDD) to external HDD then to move it back (bootable if possible) to new a Macbook, a few weeks later.
I tried SuperDuper, image from it is always like whole partition, full 75Gb and it crashes cuz, right, there not enough free space. Is there any other utility or how to set SuperDuper to exclude that free space (40Gb) on system partition in image file??
Other idea I had is to repartitionate system drive to 2 partitions, one with 35Gb system files and other one empty, then to clone only the first one, but I'm not sure is it safe to do that trick.
I'm a new Mac user so please gimme some helpful ideas. Appreciate your time for reading this and thinking about my prob. Thanks.

OK, here's a slightly different Migration question. The situation:
PBG4 w/broken screen, running an external (duh) Samsung monitor. This is my shop PB, it's currently masquerading as an immobile desktop.
Identical PBG4 with no problems. Mostly keep at home, but also on the road.
BOTH PBs have the same dual (Airport/Comcast cable modem for home, Ethernet/SBC DSL for the shop) network settings, user settings, etc., and BOTH receive mail from my Comcast AND SBC accounts.
LaCie 320GB external Firewire drive with OS X 10.4.9 installed.
I wanted a way to keep my work and home PBs synced -- especially Mail -- without dragging the home PBG4 back and forth. Yes, I KNOW it's a portable, but as I sometimes ride my bike to work, I'd rather risk the loss of a $240.00 FireWire drive than an I-don't-know-how-much PB -- plus, the FireWire drive is a much smaller package to carry.
I used Migration Assistant to copy the "home" PB's "Users, Applications, Network and Machine Settings, Files, and Volumes" (just like the Migration Assistant Intro says) to the FireWire drive, then selected the FireWire drive in System Preferences as the Startup Disk.
The FireWire drive booted up both the shop AND home PBs just fine, but I had the following problems:
1. The network and machine settings I had transferred from my "home" PB to the FireWire drive didn't "take" when I used the FireWire drive to boot up the shop PB. Neither my home Airport/Comcast cable nor shop Ethernet/SBC DSL settings were available as choices in the Network Preferences Pane. To use my shop (SBC DSL) connection while running off the System on the FireWire drive, I had to manually reconfigure the settings, always a RPITA.
2. I decided -- probably foolishly -- to try it the other way 'round: I booted up from the shop PB's internal HD, and used Migration Assistant to transfer the "shop" PBs settings, etc. to the FireWire drive. Are you dizzy yet? I must have been, because -- just as an experiment -- I tried booting the "home" PB from the FireWire drive. Once again, the PB booted up just fine; but once again, neither the home nor shop network settings were available as choices. As an added joy, I ended up with a ton of duplicate files and folders on the FireWire drive, labeled "(from old Mac)" including my ENTIRE 25+GB iTunes library. Thank God it was 320Gig!
I'd really like to keep the two PBs synced as regards mail and new or updated files (and settings), but I seem to have over-thought (or UNDER-thought!) the means of doing so.
What am I doing wrong here, and what's the BEST way to keep my two PBs (AND the FireWire drive) all singing the same tune, especially as regards mail, settings, and docs?
Thanks!

How can I get a 3.x version back on my MAC so that it will work with my website CMS program?

I need a 3.x firefox version on my mac so that I can use a website CMS program to update a client's website. Can I have a 3.x version on my mac, as well as the newer 4.0 version?

The software on the disc is written to run in, and only in, MS Windows. It can't run in the Mac OS. You can either install in on a Windows PC, or install Windows on your Mac and then install the software to run it in Windows.

HT1338 problems with Mac Book 10.7.5 printing wirelessly with HP Photosmart 6510e. I must turn off then turn back on for Mac to print.

HP Photosmart prints with PC, Droid phone but will only print wirelessly with MacBook OX 10.7.5 if I turn off printer and turn it back on. HP has tried, Belkin (router) has opened all ports, the problem persists.

That is great, but I recommend channel 11 instead of 10.

Can't Synch.."disk can not be read from or written to"

Hellppp...trying to get daughter's IPOD Nano to synch. It's a 3rd gen video (squarish model).
We start the log-in try to synch...it reads for a moment then says "the disk cannot be read from or written to". We can all her songs in the new library we created..uploaded from the Nano...next she buys 5 songs and can't synch back down to nano.
We've tried full resets, new iD's at the I-store, recognizing "new hardware on this laptop" etc. Could the nano be shot? Plays fine and loads her brothers songs fine but won't accept new songs she bought in her own store?
Help..

Hey there,
And Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document relating to this exact issue? If not, I would check it out. Make sure to work through each troubleshooting solution one at a time. Could be of help.
[Disk cannot be read from or written to when syncing iPod or Firmware update failure error when updating or restoring iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1207]
Otherwise, I would try completely formatting the iPod through Windows and then restoring it through iTunes. Instructions on how to do this can be found below. Its worth a shot.
