Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Can i sync my iphone with more than one itunes library without erasing content?

    So i just got a replacement iphone yesterday, and restored from a backup all my contacts and stuff.
    I dont have my own laptop so when it comes to music i get all of my mine from other computers...this has never been a problem with my phone or ipods, but i guess it is now...when i click on manually manage it says:
    "An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    so i cannot go to a second device and take songs from them without erasing the ones from the previous comp.
    they used to be able to authorized on up to 5 comps right? is this a new strict setting, or is there a way around it??
    thanks

    No. An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Basically you'd want to get the music to the library first, then sync it to the phone after you get it set up in your library.  iTunes will not transfer songs off the phone that were not purchased through the iTunes store, so they need to be in your library beforehand. You might consult with the googles if there are other third party ways to do that.
    The 5 compy authorization is for iTunes account authorization, which means transfering music bought through itunes, apps, etc.

  • HT1296 Can I sync my iPhone with more than one computer. I have an MacBook Pro that I want to use to sync my iPhone on the road. My phone is synced to my iMac at home. When I try to sync the iPhone to the computer it says it will erase all my apps.

  • Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

    i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

    I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
    First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
    Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
    Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
    If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

  • How can I use the N8 with more then one VOIP-Accou...

    Hello,
    on my older Nokia-phones (N82 and E52) there wasn't a problem to use more then 2 different VOIP-Accounts. Now I have successfully create one VOIP-Account on my N8. The target should be to create an another (different) VOIP-Account and switch to this, if it's necessary. The second VOIP-Account should be a backup-solution ;-)
    Thanks

    OK, so did you try creating a second VOIP account on the N8?  What steps did you try, and what were the results?  If you post specific details, you will get better answers.

  • Can I use NIDAQ32.dll with more than one application?

    We have some third party hardware and software which uses a PCI-6602 board and NIDAQ. I wanted to use some of the functions of the board for something else in a VB 6.0 program, but I always got errors with NIDAQ32.dll not being found if the third party software was running. It worked fine if I closed their software. I talked to NI, and they said you could not access a board with two applications at once. Fine, so I bought a PCI-6601 to put in the system to do my other functions. However, I still get the same error, saying the NIDAQ32.dll can not be found when I try to run my VB program. Anybody have a solution? I really need this to work, or this board is pretty useless to me...
    -Matt

    Matt,
    You CAN access a board with two applications at once. However, you can not access the same resource on a board with two applications at once. Analog input, analog output, and digital I/O are each their own separate resources. Each individual counter is a separate resource. Since your application works fine with the third-party software closed it sounds like your third-party software is doing something to the NIDAQ32.dll. I recommend contacting the developers of the third-party software and finding out what they are doing with the NIDAQ32.dll and if they even intended other applications to access the DLL at the same time.

    I accidentally synced my iPhone on a different computer and now when I try to sync to my laptop it says I have to erase everything on my phone. Can I sync without that happening?

    No, you can only sync with one computer.

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

  • How can a file be accessed by more than one app?

    Hi,
    I am new to iOS4 and the whole iPhone, iPod technology. I am really a windows user.
    How can a file be accessed by more than one app. In my case I want to transfer a midi file from my PC to my iPod Touch and be able to open it from a couple of Midi Players which I am evaluating - or does each Midi Player have to import the file seperately for its own use?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    It seems to me that what you want is exactly a session bean will do. The EJB container is responsible to maintain a certain number instances (configurable) of your session bean and serve multiple clients at the same time. Session beans are not necessarily destroyed after serving a client. If you configure your ejb server to have a pool size of 2 to 100, then you will always have at least 2 instances (no more than 100 even there are a lot of client access) of this ejb ready to serve. The only thing not clear to me is that do you want to use only ONE instance of this bean or you don't care as long as multiple clients can access this bean's service? Since you mentioned that there is not a real database access, you can certainly use a Singleton but a 'regular' session bean with static fields should do it also if these fields will not be modified by clients.

  • How can I change all of (or more than one) speaker note to a voice at once?

    Hello... 
       I have a lot of speaker notes that I need to apply a specific voice to.  How do I apply the same voice to all of the speaker notes in the whole project at once?  Or at least more than one?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!   I am working with Captivate 6.

    Hi Vikram,
      Thanks. That tip definitely helps!  You just have to be careful when you use the CNTRL button and not highlight the name of the slide as you try to highlight the voices.  If you do that, then the drop down box becomes “unclickable”.  Unfortunately, when using the control button, it is sometimes impossible not to highlight the name of the slide as well.

  • How do I share my contacts with more than one group? I really don't want to have re-type them into a different group. Help!

    How do I share my contacts with more than one group without having to re-type them into each group?

    Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
    iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
    You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

  • How can I enter my podcast in more than one category?  Mine covers arts, education and society and culture, but is listed as "Performing Arts".  Thank you for your time!

    How can I enter my podcast in more than one category, to reflect the fact that it covers arts, education and society and culture?  Thank you for your time!

    You can have more than one category - this page shows you how the tags are formed:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#category
    The Store will list only the first category and its sub-category at the top of the page. Like the first category, the others will in theory make your podcast available for searching by category. However searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
    Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.
    If you have further questions about making your podcast it's better to ask them in the Producing Podcasts forum.
