Can you Sync different parts from different machines

I've got an iPod with Video and three computers with music on (work, home and laptop).
I'd like to sync my podcasts from work, contacts and calendar from my laptop and add music from all three.
As far as I can tell you can't do this? If it's synced with one machine none of the others will be able to copy to it
I've got two Macs and a PC, and the iPod is formatted for Windows.
Thanks,
Chris

Because I like answering my questions.
Yes, it seems you can - as long as you tick 'Manually manage music and videos'
Yeh!

Can you sync your apps from your itouch to iphone?

can you sync your apps from your itouch to iphone?

The answer is yes. the extended ansewer is iCloud. iCloud allows the user of any product whether it is an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to download any purchased Movie, music and Apps (Including Data) between devices. Simply go to downloads and click on purchases and there should be all purchases you have made.

Can you sync your iTunes from a iPad straight to a iPod, is there a connecter to do this?

Can you sync iPad to iPod with a connector?

You can't, connecting an iPad to iPod to copy music between them isn't supported. If it's an iPod Touch and it's iTunes puchased music then you may be able to re-download it via the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app, or if you've subscribed to iTunes Match (and uploaded your music to it from your comptuer) then you can use that. Otherwise you will need to sync them via your computer's iTunes

Can you sync email sent from the iPhone to Mail.app?

When you send an email from iPhone, can you have it sync'd to the Sent folder of your Mail.app on your Mac? I had a look through the iPhone user guide and couldn't find the answer to this quesion.

It seems this is an unfair
disadvantage for POP users.
disconnekt,
I think your perception on this issue comes from an unwillingness to accept that POP email was never designed to take advantage of the features you want. It was conceived as a single client/server email retrieval system. It was nothing to do with "fairness". It is what it is.
Your desire to have the ability to receive, manipulate, and send email using different devices (iphone/desktop/laptop) yet have all those changes synchronized regardless of which device is used is a valid one. Many people (including myself) feel that way. However, I doubt Apple will spend significant development resources in finding a POP solution to this because it has already been done.
It's called IMAP accounts.
In fact, apple has adopted this protocol in it's own email services, .mac My guess is that most development resources will likely be spent along enhancing functionality in their chosen platform, not POP
Unfortunately, that still leaves you in your current situation. If you can accept what POP is (and what it is not), you can take action on a possible solution rather than wait/hope one will be developed for you. I would advise slowly transitioning to an IMAP account as this seems to be more suited to your needs. I had 4 POP accounts exclusively until I got tired of being limited to checking and sending all my mail from home. I didn't want to check or send mail on my laptop, because once I did, those messages would have already been "downloaded/uploaded" and thus unavailable/unseen when I checked mail on my home computer. My mail ended up scattered across 2 devices. (sound familiar?) I dreaded changing email accounts because I felt I would lose important contacts in the process. In reality, it was no more devastating than a home address change when you move (which I'm sure you've done before)
Here's how I did it:
1. Get an IMAP account. (.mac is one. There are many)
2. Most POP accounts allow for auto email forwarding, enable this feature to funneled all your mail to your new IMAP account.
3. Create a signature announcing your new email address and use this on all outgoing email.
4. Continue this until you feel comfortable dropping your old POP account. (I have yet to delete mine and it's been almost 2 years.)
Also note, that you could actually keep your old POP account indefinitely. Senders would just notice that all outgoing mail to you is addressed to a different domain then all incoming mail received from you.
Make the change. Based on what you've want you'll be glad you did.

Can you sync photo editing from iPhone to Mac

I synced some iPhoto events from my Mac to the new iPhoto app on my iPhone. Then I edited some pictures, red-eye removal and warm/cool balance. Is there a way that the changes to my photo can be copied to iPhoto on my Mac because it doesn't seem to work automatically through syncing.

Connect your iPhone with the cable.
In iTunes, select your phone under Devices and go to the Photos tab on the right.
There you can say "Sync photos from iPhoto" and also select which events you want to sync.
So the photo's sync. But what does NOT sync, is the editing of photo's on your phone, such as red-eye removal.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Can you sync only part of an address book to a trio?

the situation: if you have lots and lots of contacts in your address book, and only want some of them on your pda, is there a way to do this?
also, is there a way to create seperate address books. I can only seem to make new groups.
thank you.

The native sync to the treo is quite limited, so I and others have gone with MissingSync, which is quite nice. It syncs more of your email addresses and phone numbers, mapping the group to a category on the treo, and it syncs up to 7 email or phone fields. I think the native isync maxes out at 4 of those.
In MissingSync, you can specify which groups are synced. The others are ignored. So create a group called, say, syncgroup, drag the contacts you want into it (remember contacts can have more than one group so you're not actually moving them anywhere), and tell missingsync to sync that group and not the others. Done.

Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

Can you sync two different users calendars via the calendar that comes with Apple products?

You each need an iCloud account and to sync your iCal calendars with iCloud. Then you can each share a calendar or calendars privately, so only available to the other, who would be able to edit it, or not, depending on your settings. Please see this page:

Can you sync an ibooks pdf library in icloud among different computers

Can you sync an ibooks pdf library in icloud among different computers?

If you set up your email account(s) as IMAP instead of POP3, then each computer / smart phone can view the mail, but if any of them delete a message (or move it to another folder on the server), the same action will be seen on the other computers.

HT204053 Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids?

Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids? I have a personal iPad and one given to me for work. They are set up with two different apple IDs. I do all of my lesson plans in pages. I want to be able to create plans on both devices, but need to know if there is a way to sync the files without emailing, etc.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, that's not possible. A better way of working around this than emailing the documents to yourself is to use a third party storage solution such as Dropbox and a webDAV server to upload the documents.

Can you sync from iPhone to PC?

Can you sync from iPhone 3GS to PC, instead of the other way 'round?

The syncing of iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from iTunes on your computer, or from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after purchasing/downloading music, video, or 3rd party apps with your iPhone.
iTunes content is not kept synchronized but is part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not kept synchronized either. The transfer of photos is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
The only bi-directional or true sync process is for contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on your computer. The same for notes if you are using a supported application on your computer for syncing notes.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as photos, documents, etc. All iTunes content is stored in an iTunes named folder. With iTunes quit on your new computer, place the copy of the iTunes named folder from your old computer in the appropriate location for access by iTunes on your new computer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. First you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device or as a storage device to transfer data from one computer to another.
