How do you sync two computers

i have an iBook and an iMac and i want to keep them in sync with address book and itunes

There is no way to sync POP account folders (On My Mac)
You could use SugarSync to sync ~/library/mail. But that looks like a disaster in the making
Good luck with your endeavor

How do You Sync two itunes on two computers with Touch?

Hi. I own two computers. I have some purchases on my Mac Pro. I have some purchases on my Mac Book Pro. Also, I've made some purchases on my iPod Touch.
I've noticed that the screen that used to show my what was on my old Nano is now blank of actual songs and only shows the sync settings of the Touch.
So, it's impossible to pull songs off the touch onto each system - least it seems that way for me.
What I really want to do is sync everything up on my network here at the house and not waste a lot of DVD's making copies of things to stick in another computer. Where is the "Sync ALL" button!
Also, what's the best way to make backups? I read a post here about Backups vs Clones? What's the story there?
Thanks for your help!
Glen

You'll have to back up manually and transfer your purchases as well before you let iTunes erase your phone. Transferring data before setting it up again is covered in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After your phone got set up again, use the manual backup to get your data and settings back.
If you want to copy media you did nor buy in iTunes, you'll have to use 3rd party software.

How do you sync two audio clips without a clapper board?

... so the cameras had to be well back to catch the whole shot, and to catch the sound, we used a separate audio recorder closer to the performers.
In hindsight, I suppose we could have used a clapper board but if the board was close to the recorder, it would be hard to see... and if it was closer to the cameras, it would be hard to hear the clap on the recorder.
now the question is how to perfectly sync the better audio from the recorder with the lesser audio from the cameras (then delete the lesser audio)
so far, its not quite right and their lips are off like an old Japanese Sci Fi Movie. Is there any way to move one track frame by frame over the other to get it right? (some sort of keyboard command?)
OR is there some sort of app that someone wrote that could overlay the the good audio with the reference audio and sort of "snap it" into position? The waveforms look similar aside from the quality and strength of the signals.

Rob, Andy
just wanted to revisit this post. Were onto something great here!
so to update us, I DL'ed "PluralEyes" but it didn't work. Each time I pointed it at the program file, it shut itself down. I tried rebooting the whole machine, trashing preferences etc but it wouldn't work.
the developers were great! got back to me asap. I sent the crash reports and the file I was working on and they discovered a "huge bug"
Today, they emailed me a link to a FIX which be included in their next version but they allowed me to try it today and guess what? it FIXED it!
So I started the app and let it run (its over 2 hr program) the app ran for like an hour and put out two new sequences, "unsynced" and "synced"
but i have some questions;
there were two cameras and a separate audio recorder.
in "synced" it lined up the recorder audio with the camera 1 audio but it pushed camera 2 and its audio to the side (further down the timeline)
of course, what we want is for camera 2 to also be synced (or sunk;-) so when we cut between cameras, the lips are still in sync.
now how do we get it to line up camera 2?
screen shot.
in the "synced" sequence, we need to sync camera 2 with camera 1.
also, it has left out much of the program in the "synced sequence" there are actually three tapes from each camera. you can see here that we are left with one tape from each camera.
what do we do from here?
also, before moving anything around, I can link the tracks but that doesnt stop them from getting out of sync. and locking the tracks means they cannot be moved. so how do you attach the audio to video without getting out of sync?
.... In the "good ol days" (so Ive heard) editors had years and years to master their craft. Film & Splicing were in power for like what? 75 years?
Now there are new programs emerging every day with entirely their own learning curve! But if this works just this once, its well worth buying it! its a fantastic app! Im sure it just takes some getting used to!

How do you sync two Ipods to the same MacBook?

Have a nano already synced to my MacBook. Want to also sync my 5th gen 30GB Ipod to the same MacBook. Have only had my MB for 3 months after 18 years of PC platform (yes I'm drinking the KoolAid baby.) This notebook is fantastic.
An issue I had with my old PC was that you couldn't sync two Ipods to the same PC unless you held down the shift key while accessing ITunes to select a library - or something like that.
Please tell me that if I plug my 5th gen into this MacBook it won't overwrite my nano songs/info that are already on this MacBook? Apple has to have done it easier than how I had to do it with the PC. Any help from you experts out there will save me a ton of grief..........Thanks! R.Ty

Thanks!
No problem.
My issue is however that in addition to all of the songs that I have purchased via ITunes, I have about 600 songs from my own CD's on the 5th Gen that if I restore will be gone. Time - yes....money - a little.... It would be great if I could de-authorize the PC it was synced to and now work off my mac....
In that case, check out these different media recovery options by Zevoneer for copying music from your iPod to your computer.

And check out this older post of mine on different ways to copy music to your computer from your iPod as well.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12000345#12000345
What you need to do is first copy all the music currently on your 5th generation iPod to your new Macbook. Once you have done that, you are free to *Erase and Sync* it upon plugging it in, or restoring it via iTunes as described above.
And if you are adding purchased music, you will need to authorize your computer if you haven't done so yet. To do this, choose Authorize from the Store drop down menu in iTunes.

HT1495 can you sync two computers to one ipad?

We just got an ipad for traveling and have two home computers, mine and my husbands. Can we synd them both to the ipad for our trip? Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks.

No you cannot sync with two computers. "Sync" being the key word. You can use an iPad with multiple computers for the purposes of transferring music.

How Do You Connect Two Computers?

Real simple question. I'm certain it has a simple answer.
I have two Macs, both Intel Macs, both running Leopard. One is a MacBook Pro, the other is an office-based iMac. I would like to access the office machine with my book over the internet.
How do I do that?

It is a simple solution, but you need to do a lot of homework to decide whether it is an appropriate solution.
1) set up the target mac with a static internal IP.
2) set up your router to forward port 5900 to your Mac's internal IP address.
3) get a static external IP from your provider or sign up for a free DynDNS (or equivalent) account
or, if your IP address doesn't change often, just deal with the occasional 'outage' due to not knowing the current IP address.
4) Turn on Screen Sharing on the target Mac
5) Connect to Server... vnc://business.external.IP.address
Is someone going to hunt down your computer and try to hack into it? I don't know. But, if it is a business, I would think it is a more lucrative target, and there are also a lot more privacy concerns that you need to consider.
While you are looking into things, setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) may be an option.
Another consideration is the type of service you have purchased from your internet provider. Unless you are paying for the service, running any type of server over that IP address may violate the terms of service. I haven't looked into whether connecting back to your computer is a violation of the 'no server' rules. Generally, they are concerned about the bandwidth of a Web Server or an FTP server.

How do you get two computers on same network for mirgration.

I am trying to migrate from an older iMac G5 running the most updated version of TIGER to our new MacBook Air running LION.
The air doesn't have a firewire connection, so it's trying to do it over the wireless network. I have them both on the same network, BUT the new Air is asking for me to update the Migration Assistant on the older machine. Don't have any idea how to do that.
Is there a work around?
Can I use USB connections?

You need to install 10.5.8 on the PPC computer to work with Migration Assistant. It would be easier to clone the drive to an external hard drive. Then restore from the external hard drive using Migration Assistant.

Create a new library, either by launching iTunes with the Shift key held down or by creating a new Windows user account.

Why can't apple let us sync two computers over bluetooth?

I am extremely annoyed that mac won't let you sync two computers via bluetooth, when you can easily do it with phones and pdas. It seems to me that it takes the exact same technology to do so, and the only reason mac does not let you sync two computers is that they want to force you to pay $100 for a .mac account. Very Microsoft-like of them. Apple advertises that you can do this function as part of the OSX, but fails to mention it requires additional cost. I hope they provide this in the future.
I've heard a new program, spanning sync, may work, but that is just for your calendar.

1) Apple always advertised its computer to computer sync'ing as ".Mac sync" (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dotmacsync/) so I don't see where they "fail to mention it requires .mac" or put that "in the small print no one reads"
2) Peer-to-peer sync'ing leverages many conceptual problems that sync'ing with a central server does not have. It takes a lot of effort to have proper, reliable, secure, yet simple-to-use peer-to-peer sync'ing. It becomes even worse when more than 2 peers are involved, and becomes a total nightmare when there can be cycles in the sync'ing swarm. Apple took the simpler, reliable approach. Of course, Apple can put money to provide some peer-to-peer solution but it's likely not worth the money yet for Apple.
3) Third parties can provide peer-to-peer sync'ing in no time (if it were that simple) since Tiger, thanks to Sync Services... yet there isn't many solutions out-there... however, maybe you should take a look on VersionTracker. You might find what you want:

Remember... sync'ing is never that simple.

HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

You can enable iCloud syncing on both devices, making sure hte calendar is part of the 'on' part and then what you change on one should change on the other too.

How do you connect two Apple ID's?

How do you connect two Apple ID's to one another?

Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.
