Can you sync your iphone 4s to more than 1 computer?

I have synced my iphone 4s and iphone 4 and 2 ipad2's to my dell pc and i just bought a new macbook pro and am wondering if i can plug them into the pro and not erase everything.

No.
To avoid this, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to the new computer per the instructions included with this link along with all photos and all other important data you will need or want to access on the new computer.

  • Can you manage your iPhone content on more than one computer?  Ex.  Home computer, work computer.

    I am trying to manage my iPhone on my work pc as well as my home pc.  I have to tried to set the iPhone to manually manage music and videos, but it will not let me.  An error message appears saying that my phone can only being synced to one iTunes library.  I have never had this problem with my iPod Touch, jut the iPhone. 

    Iphone will sync/manually manage itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time.
    Syncing/manually managing with another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • Can you sync an iPad 2 to more than one computer.

    I got a new ipad2. Can I sync it with my Mac at my house and also on my pc at work

    You can authorize more than one computer with iTunes, but you have to maintain your iTunes library on one machine.  Otherwise, you'll have a syncing nightmare.  So, it's not advisable to sync to more than one computer as you'll be in a situation where you'll lose data from one machine to the next.  Come this fall when iOS 5 is released, you won't need to sync with a computer at all.  For the time being, I recommend you limit syncs to one computer.........

  • HT1296 Can you sync a apple ipod with more than one computer without loosing songs

    Once an iphone or ipod has been connected to a computer can it be connected to another without loosing your ring tones or songs

    No, even with manually managing music and video enabled.
    Simply connecting the device to another computer and even to iTunes won't erase anything, but if you try to sync or transfer music or any other iTunes content, all existing iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided beforehand that this will occur. The same applies when trying to transfer photos to the device from another computer.
    You can import photos/videos from the camera roll as with any other digital camera with any computer.

  • Can you sync your iphone to a specific date?, can you sync your iphone to a specific date?

    can you sync your iphone to a specific date?

    The only control you have is that, if you're syncing Calendars in iTunes, you can specify how many days back you want to go (e.g. "Last 30 days")
    Other than that, not really - you can do thing slike limit how meany messages Mail downloads, but that's not much help

  • Can you sync and iPhone and iPad to the same computer with different Apple IDs?

    I synced my ipad2 to a computer my husband synced his iPhone to.  It now has his info. Is there a way to sync both devices with different IDs?

    You can if you use different user accounts on the computer so you have your own iTunes libraries. It will take some work. Read this.

  • Can I sync my Palm TX on more than one computer?

    I have a Palm TX, loaded with all my information, I sync it with my primary PC. I would like to be able to sync it with my laptop & also another PC.  Is this possible and could someone walk me through the setup or procedure?
    Thanks MG
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hello mgilhooley and welcome to the forums...
    You can sync your device with multiple computers.  However, is is very important to use the same version of Palm Desktop on all the computers and the same username you are using on the original Desktop and device.  If these are different, you could get data corruption and duplicated contacts and end up corrupting all the Desktop applications.
    To do this, install the same version of Palm Dektop to the computers in question, and simply sync the device.
    Are you working with different Operating Systems on each computer or are they the same as well?  This may determine whether you can sync with that device.  For example, Vista 64 bit will not allow a cable sync option.....
    Good Luck and let us know how you did...
    Thanks,
    Colapop

  • Can you point remote telemetry data to more than one computer running Scout?

    If more that one person on a team wants to profile something, it seems there are 3 choices,
    run Scout on the same test machine (this is not always possible or desirable)
    remote profile using a single, designated computer running Scout
    manually edit "TelemetryAddress" to point to the person's computer wanting to do a test
    Is it possible to point the telelemtry to more than one remote machine?
    For example can the flag entry in teleletry.cfg have multipe remote IP's?  Something like
    TelemetryAddress=192.168.1.20:7934, 192.168.1.55:7934
    It appears not.  What's your say?
    My current setup:
    I have a low end test computer on which I run the Flash content  (i.e. Scout is not installed/doesn't run on this computer).  Following the instructions given under "Remote profiling for desktop content", the ".telemetry.cfg" file points all telemetry data to a remote computer running Scout.

    I realize this is an old thread, but I couldn't help but consider this interesting question.
    You could, on a linux or OS X box -- as along as they have the netcat and tee utilities -- listen on the telemetry port and forward to multiple recipients.  The command to listen to port 7934 and relay to both two other machines, 10.0.1.100:7934 and 10.0.1.101:7934, is:
    nc -l 0.0.0.0 7934 | tee >(nc 10.0.1.100 7934) >(nc 10.0.1.101 7934) > /dev/null
    You can add as many recipients as you like with more >(nc ipaddress 7934) clauses in the middle.
    In this case, point your .telemetry.cfg at the machine running this script, and it will forward the telemetry data to the IP addresses you specify. If they're all running Scout, they should all see the data.
    For kicks, here's a couple other useful commands:
    Capture telemetry data to a file:  nc -l 0.0.0.0 7934 > data.flm
    Push saved data.flm file to Scout on localhost port 7934:  nc localhost 7934 < data.flm
    Just one more reason Linux rules. Hope this helps someone!
    Best,
    -Jeff

  • Can you sync the apple watch to more than one phone?

    Say I wanted to leave my phone at home.  Could I sync my apple watch to my husbands phone but still get my texts etc???

    If you're within about 20-30 feet, sync will be via Bluetooth. If the phone is on a wifi network, you can be farther away: exactly how far varies according to the quality of wifi, walls etc.

  • Can you work in iBooks Author on more than one computer?

    If we start an iBooks Author project on one (older, slower) MacBook Pro, can we continue working on it on another (newer, faster) MacBook Pro? Is it essentially in the cloud or is there a workaround? Thanks!

    To work on it you would need to transfer the .iba file from one computer to the other.  It is not in the cloud.

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • 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.
