How best to Sync 2 Computers to the i-phone?
Can anyone post a step by step guide to syncing two computers to the i-phone. I have a Macbook Pro and an i-mac. I hardly ever use the i-mac, it's mostly my back-up and guest log in computer.
Right now the i-mac has thousands of e-mails that have not been sorted out as I do that mostly on my MacBook Pro. I would like to have both the computers have the same information for contacts, calenders and e-mail, and then have it all sync up with the i-phone, when I get it!!! (Waiting on a DF at&t order!) Thought I might as well get ready.... Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated and of-course helpful to others in the same position....

Sorry neuroanatomist, I edited the question just as you answered.... tried to make it simpler...
The Data on my MacBook Pro is all current, the data on the i-mac is old and the e-mail files are huge on the i-mac as I have never deleted anything on it.... If as they are saying, that mobileme will sync everything, I would like to clean up the -imac and match it to my macbook. Except I recall doing this once and it deleted the e-mails from the server? So I lost e-mails I didn't want to....
I believe that the inbox and the smart mailboxes are e-mails that are on the apple server? If I move them to the "On my Mac" section with folder, they will be saved, if I delete them from the in-box they also get deleted from the server, is this correct?
I just want the sync with the i=phone to be correct, and not put double information on the phone.
Thanks

My husband and I have 2 centro (AT&T) phones. We would like to share our calendar information with each other. He has the Palm Desktop program downloaded on his work computer. He is using the Outlook calendar at work. We would also like to download the Palm program downloaded on our home computer. But we weren't sure if 2 different users can access it, etc. How do we do it correctly? Do we have to use one username for both Palm Desktop? Does the computer recognize the 2 phones? How do we transfer information between the 2 phones? We do not have a data plan. We would like to use the USB cable to avoid data charges. Also, if his centro takes calendar/contacts from Outlook at work, do we have to do the same at home? Can the Centro sync with both Palm Desktop calendar and Outlook calendar at the same time?
Thanks very much.
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)Yes he can sync it with palm desktop at home. But if you want to share calendar and use different usernames, then you cannot do it with palm desktop but you can if you use outlook.

How can I sync 2 computers with the same iTunes library?
I have an iMac and a MBP, and I want to keep my iTunes library the same on both machines. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks!Home Sharing is the easiest way to do this.
It works automatically if your music has been bought from the iTunes store.
Here are some instructions on how to set it up: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Home-Sharing-in-iTunes -
When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?
There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. Each computer's itunes library is common by around 75% of the songs. How can I sync both computers to a common song library, so that all songs can be updated for both computers? Will ITunes Match do that?
I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

How do I sync multiple iPones on the same iMac
How do I sync multiple iPones on the same iMac
Use another account where? Let's say phone A is being synced to Mac A, and now you want to add phones B and C to Mac A, then they will all be syncing using the same account, the one used on Mac A. Phones B and C can share apps and songs currently on Mac A's iTunes, but they will lose any apps, etc. that were previously put on them from other macs that use different accounts. That's the way it works. If you want to keep the apps on B and C, then keep syncing them to their original macs.

How can I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?
The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Also, I would go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods... for syncing automatically so that you can more easily check what you want syned -

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -

Hi silverk,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.
