Can you sync Ipad with more than one computer?

I am just curious, can I associate my Ipad with more than 1 computer.  I have a desktop and a laptop both with itunes and same library.  Can I sync the Ipad on both computers without it totally erasing the Ipad or should I only sync it on one computer?
Than kyou in advance for the help.

In theory - If the libraries are identical, yes it should work. Keeping the libraries identical might become a little challenging. You may want to make sure that you always manually transfer purchases whenever you sync to each computer to make sure that all content is always being transferred into each iTunes library and I would think that you would want to backup each time you sync as well. And you might want to sync with the one computer right after you sync with the other computer so that all of your data remains intact in the backups of both computers.
You can always check by giving it a try and see of you get the "this iPad have been synced to a different computer" message and see what happens. If the message pops up, just cancel and don't sync.
However, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you absolutely have to for some reason.

    Can you sign in with more than one apple id on an iPad?

    Only one account can be signed in at a time (via Settings > Store), and if you turn on automatic downloads and/or download past purchases from an account then you risk tying the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Can I use iPod with more than one computer?

    I have a 60gb iPod w/ color (4th Gen). On my laptop which is my home computer I also have all my music as well as on my iPod. I would like to know if I can put all my music on a second or even third computer so that I can access the music. Also, my girlfriend has a iPod nano. Would she be able to access my music if I put the music on her computer?

  • HT4528 I have an Iphone 4 CDMA. Can you pair it with more than one vehicle through HFL? I have Hondas. Also my new CRV receives texts through the Nav. It says this phone is non-compatible. Is there some software that needs downloaded?

    Can you pair through bluetooth my phone to more than one vehicle? My new Honda CRV receives text messages. However it says my Iphone 4 CDMA is not compatible. Is there software I need to download to my phone?

    If it works anything like Ford Sync, you can pair the same phone to different vehicles, as long as you set up separate Bluetooth profiles on the iPhone for each vehicle.
    As far as Texts go, you won't be able to get them in your vehicle because the iPhone doesn't have the software protocols to do it.  FWIW, I can't get texting from my iPhone 4S in my new Lincoln with Ford Sync either.

  • While syncing iPAD with more than one pc my old data on iPAD lost

    Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
    Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
    Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
    Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?

    You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time. That is why iTunes erases the old data from the previous sync. You can Manually Manage music and videos - but that is different than syncing.
    Manually content manually on iPod, iPhone or iPad
    Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
    Yes. you can select exactly what you want to sync - music, apps, photos etc. Just do not unselect any content in iTunes that you want to keep on the device or it will be erased when you sync.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
    Yes. But you have to sign into the ID that you want to use on the iPad in order to sync that from that ID.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. You have to remember to keep switching back and forth if you use two ID's.
    Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
    This will tell you what iTunes backs up.
    iTunes: About iOS Backups
    Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?
    Restore your device to factory settings.

  • Can you install itunes on more than one computer?

    Hi all,
    I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
    Many thanks,
    Samantha

    Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

    You don't need to install the software
    Sorry Jeff. She asked "Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?"
    You HAVE to install the software (iTunes) in order to run it.
    Yes, you can install iTunes on as many computers as you want. You do not need to use the software CD that came with the iPod. Probably outdated anyway.
    You can download iTunes from www.itunes.com

    Simply wondering if a group of people can video-chat together at same time, or just one-on-one?

    It is currently only possible to have a peer to peer connection with one other computer.
    To connect with multiple computer you would have to connect via a dedicated server and that is currently not possible with WebRTC.
