Desktop Manager Sync to Multiple/New Computer?

I have been successfully synching my 8330 with my desktop/Outlook using DM.  Now I want to sync with the Outlook on my laptop/Outlook.  I have DM and Outlook 2007 loaded on both machines.
Can I do 2 way synchs with 2 computers or will it be a problem?
If I cannot do 2x2-way synch, how to I change the computer that I am synching with (from desktop to laptop) without losing data and/or causing duplicates?
thank you

I am doing a 2-way sync exactly as you describe (desktop PC at work, laptop at home, both running WinXP, and not using BB Enterprise Solution) and it sync with no problems. No duplication of entries etc. BUT I am having big problems (shared by others) wth using the recently-released Desktop manager version 5.x.x. upgrade (from previous v. 4.x.x.) - don't install this until the problem is sorted - see related thread in this forum.

  • My ipod and iphone 4s will not erase or sync with my new computer.

    My phone was loaded from this computer when I got it replaced because the last one was defective.  They will not load, unload, or anything.  This is frustrating because before the most recent rounds of updates and "fixes," I never had problems and knew where everything was. 
    It is not a problem with my library being different, because I just moved the library over from my old computer to the new when I got it using my external hard drive and literally just took iTunes and the music, books, etc over at one time.
    Edit: Checking or unchecking the manual management of the library, full sync, and/or partial sync has no effect either.  When I work on trying to make them sync, the computer shows- under the "on this ipod" section- that there is nothing there, but the ipod/phone disagrees and still has everything.

    You can only sync with one computer. To switch syncing computers:

    If all synced media like apps and music are already on the second computer then just backup the iPod to the second computer and restore from that backup

  • Sync to a new computer...restore from iCloud backup?

    I have been trying to find the answer to this specific question, but haven't been able to.  I know this is a question that has been asked a lot, so I apologize in advance.  I am wanting to change the computer I sync my iPhone to.  I have read that when you sync to a new computer, you lose all of your data.
    My question is, can you use your backup from iCloud to recover that data?  I'm not worried about the music, I have copies on my desktop.  I am mostly worried about my photos and contacts.  I have over 700 pictures and I really don't want to email them all to myself to be sure I keep them. 
    Would it be easier to reset my phone to factory settings and then use the iCloud backup to restore my info?  Then can I sync it to my desktop with no problems? 
    My laptop, which I sync to now, is still able to be used.  It's just getting older and I would rather use my desktop to sync from now on.
    Any advice is appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    I've seen that, but that doesn't really help.  I really don't want to restore from my other iTunes folder.   I want to start over on my desktop.  I went through my music on my desktop and I have it set up how I want it.  I just don't want to lose my info.  Plus, I don't have Windows Address Book or Outlook on my computer. 
    This is my question:
    All of my music is on my desktop, which I want to start syncing with.  I backed up my phone on iCloud today. Can I just restore my phone and then retrieve the backup from iCloud?  All of my data (contacts, apps, notes, etc) will be on there, right?  I don't care about the music...I will add that back.  I just don't want to lose my contacts.
    If I do restore from iCloud, can I then start syncing with my desktop as if I never synced with my laptop?

  • 2 questions; how to erase "other memory" on iphone 5 and how to sync to a new computer

    Apple support is failing to help my issues so I thought its best to turn to the community. OK so I've talked to Apple before about my "other memory" and I performed a soft reset on my phone and it decreased other memory by maybe a gig. A month later now its higher than it was before at over 5.6 gigs, any way how to make it as little as possible?
    Also I just got a new macbook pro and I use to sync my iphone 5 to my macbook (2008), how do I make my macbook pro my primary itunes and still keep all my info on my phone? My new macbook pro itunes says its backed up, but when I plug it in it won't sync any new songs or app data to my itunes, etc.
    Any help with these issues will much be appreciated!!

    "Other" is all of the data for all of the built in apps. If you delete its contents all of your built in app data will disappear. Some of what is contained in other:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. Some people suggest deleting your music on the phone. DON'T DO IT! The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it deletes cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Your Other is so large, however, that there may be corrupt data contained in it (unless you send a lot of MMS messages with large attachments). If this is the case you should restore the phone as New.
    =====================
    For your other question, the easiest way is to copy your iTunes library folder from the old computer to the new computer. For the hard way, see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • My iPod classic 7th Gen  will not sync with my new computer. itunes is installed and updated.

    fellow iPod classic owners,
                                           the problem is a failure to sync with the new computer. the conditions are as follows: the new computer is a pc. it has the latest iTunes software installed. the iPod is installed properly. i'm fully recognized by my iTunes account. there is nothing lacking other than my iPod's refusal to sync with my new computer. what have i left undone? i could be suffering from a duh, but i'm not the only one. nothing in the apple world is as difficult as this one is, at least on the surface. if it were that simple an issue, no one would be having any problems with it. any more information needed can be provided by request. by the way, the computer being used has been authorized. that is a non-issue.
                                                                                                                 your help is appreciated,
                                                                                                                     hardphil.

    I believe the IPOD (Classic) uses USB 2.0,  and my new laptop uses USB 3.0.  I think they are not compatable because of this.  If you find a solution to this please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

  • I just decommissioned my windows pc for a mac power book.  How can I get my ipad to sync with the new computer without erasing all the apps and data on the ipad?

    I just decomissioned my windows pc in favor of a new (to me) MacBook Pro.  When I attempt to sync my iPad I get a warning that I will erase all content on the ipad in order to sync with the new computer.  How do avoid erasing all the data on the iPad, and get the iPad and the new Mac/iTunes to be friends?

    Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
    Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
    FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005.

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

  • RE: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive by wjosten

    I really appreciate the detail that wjosten provides on the User Tip entitled "Syncing to a New Computer or Replacing a crashed hard drive".  I do have a follow up question though about my wife's iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1.  All her calendar and contacts are on the Cloud - not running through anything like Outlook or Windows Address Book, as far as I can tell.  In the past, we previously synched with a PC. 
    Since the calendar and contacts are on the Cloud, can we synch using the steps wjosten details on a new PC and not lose the calendar / contacts?  If not, do you have any advise?  Thanks.

    If she doesn't want to sync her calendar and contacts with a supported program on her computer such as Outlook, just uncheck Sync Calendar and Sync Contacts on the Info tab of her iTunes sync setting before syncing (which I assume is what she was doing before).  She can continue to sync these with iCloud if that what she prefers by going to Settings>iCloud and turning Contacts and Calendars to On).

    I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only).

    i want to update to iOS 5 and still have itunes be able to copy my playlists from my iphone. for free. why does apple provide a recovery from iphone option?

    If you have a backup, restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the computer.  This restores the library and device association files.  If for some reason you chose to only back up the media and not the entire iTunes folder, then the only option is to let iTunes wipe the drive and re-sync.

    You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.
