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.

    You could use SugarSync to sync ~/library/mail. But that looks like a disaster in the making

    How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    Simply connect them.  One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices.  They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
    The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer.  It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID.  Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

  • HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

    How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro? 
    Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there.  I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc...  Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs.  I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud.  So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!).  How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs? 

    I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?

  • How do you sync your itunes to iphone simply?

    At one time it was really easy to sync up your itunes to iphone. You had a list of music with a tick box next to it and if you didnt want a song you simply unticked it and then pressed "sync". The same was true of the apps. There was a special tab for apps where you could remove or reinstall the apps on your phone.
    After whatever update they did, i managed to stop my iphone just filling up all the memory on my phone with songs i hadnt chosen. I mean, who thought that was a good idea? what if i heard a song I wanted to purchase or saw an app i wanted? No space to get it, not the smartest idea for an update.
    But I digress, back to the syncing issue. There is still the music list with its little tick boxes but there is also this weird tab that has lots of different boxes that have things like the artist names, the album names etc and they all have individual tick boxes next to each artist/album.
    Now the problem is that 1) there is no select/deselect all which is a MAJOR pain 2) I am totally unsure what I am meant to tick and what I am not.
    What I did was untick all the songs on the music list I didnt want but what itunes has done is loaded up my phone with all the songs i didnt want plus a few randoms that i did. Is it that ticking the boxes means you dont include them now? And whats that album/artist/playlist tab about? Does checking/unchecking boxes there overrule the ticks you made on the main music page? It's getting pretty infuriating.
    Also, I can see all the apps on my phone. Why does it not show on itunes? At one time you could see all your stuff. Now, it says I have 4 apps. I dont and if itunes just looked at my phone it could see i have more than 4.
    So in summary:
    1) How do I sync my itunes to iphone simply?
    2) Does the album/artist/playlist page overrule the main music tab? (if so, why would anyone do this?!?!?)
    3) where are my apps and how can I manage them?

    No. This is a user-to-user forum, where your fellow users help you. Since those users may be on the other side of the world to you, it may take a while before anyone responds. Occasionally, Apple employees do respond, but that is the exception and their responses will usually direct you to articles that they think will help you.
    So, since I have not yet installed iTunes 11.2, I'll go out on a limb and assume that things haven't changed that much.
    On the Device/Summary pane is the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos. Is that option still on?

  • 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.

  • 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 I sync two iPhones with my iTunes and still have different apps on each phone? Do I use home sharing?

    Does home sharing let me have the same iTunes library on mine and my girlfriends phones?

    If you are synching all music that you have in iTunes on your computer then, when you next sync, any music not in iTunes but on the iPod should be removed.

  • How can I sync two calendars with Outlook?

    My iPhone is set to Spanish and so it uses a calendar automatically named "Calendario." All my data is on there.
    I would like to add the US holidays to my calendar.
    When I tried to do this on Outlook, it added the holidays to its own default calendar called "Calendar" (which is otherwise empty). Nothing was added to "Calendario." There was no obvious way to bypass "Calendar" in favor of "Calendario" when adding the holidays.
    So I have two calendars, one with all my data, the other with just the holidays. The two sets can merge (overlay) just fine on Outlook, but I can't figure out whether this is possible on the iPhone. It seems I can only set one default calendar on the device. It would be helpful to just be able to delete "Calendar" altogether, but Outlook doesn't let me do this.
    Is there a way to merge these two calendars so I can see them together on my iPhone, or to delete "Calendar" and just put all the holidays on "Calendario"? Thanks.

    I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
    You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
    This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

    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.

  • Sync two computers with one documents folder?

    This is a question re: a imac and a powerbook. 
    I am looking for a product that can update the most recently edited files in my documents folder on both computers automatically...
    Often, I use the laptop remotely and need updates to the desk top and vise versa so that the folder being duplicated is a mirror on each machine...
    Is this a possibility with some product currently on the market, two computers one set of folders?
    Optimally I would like it to happen automaticall but a wired version would be OK too...
    When machines are tethered the more recent folders update on either machine.

    Hi Elin,
    Here's a Dropbox tutorial which keeps two Macs synced: http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/09/21/how-to-use-dropbox-to-sync-your-documents- folder-between-macs-for-free/
    What's not clear is if it will allow you to disconnect the two Macs and then sync after reconnecting them.
    iCloud is something else to consider.

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