How many computers can I sync iPod/iPhone with?

I udnerstand that I can download media purchased from iTunes to up to 5 computers and play from the computers, and I know how to move tracks I rip from my own old CDs around.
However it seems like it need to sync all the media to my player from one and only one computer? Is that right? Assuming so, supposing I want to change that one special computer to a different one - how do I do that? I tried the help files and support docs on the site here, but I couldn't ever come up with an answer.
Thanks!

Most iPods can be synchronized with multiple computers (the shuffle being the only exception I know of); you just have to set iTunes to manually manage the iPod. An iPhone, however, can only be synched with one copy of iTunes for media content (you can use a different computer to sync calendars/notes/etc).

One, for media content. You can sync contacts, calendars, notes, or bookmarks between multiple computers using iTunes and an iPad, but Apple does not recommend it. See:

Accordion to Adobe's TOS, you can install software on up to 2 machines: your desktop/laptop or your home/work computers. But only one person can use it at one time and that's the person who owns the license.
Does that answer your question?

How many computers can sync to one ipad?

I teach at a university. Our department is discussing ordering several iPads (maybe iPod Touches, also) for faculty to share. Faculty would be creating materials for the classroom and using the iPad in place of written/printed notes and/or for presentations. The question I raised is how many computers can sync to one iPad? My assumption is that individual faculty would create such materials on their office or personal computers, then load those materials onto an iPad.

All iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, Touch) are designed to sync with a single iTunes library, i.e. a single computer.
You can sync multiple iOS devices to the same iTunes library (same account) or multiple iOS devices to the same computer with different iTunes accounts and libraries.
In your case, if each individual creates their own material, they can sync it from their iTunes account (library) on their computer.
Also, there are many apps out there that allow you to move files from the cloud to the device, i.e. Box.net, Airstash, Dropbox, etc. Perhaps you could set that up and have individuals create material, sync it to the cloud and then allow others to access it via the iPad.
I suggest you contact other faculty at other universities that may have done this, perhaps via some faculty forums.

How many device can one sync with iPhone? I own a Mac Pro and an iMac desktop. Can I sync with both machines?

How Many devices can I sync with my iPhone? I own a Mac PRO and an iMAC. Depends on where I am, I will plug my iPhone to either of the machines. I haven't sync with either machine yet.

Please explain how one would accomplish that feat.
There's not much to explain. When a device is connected, you see the row of different categories across the top: Summary, Info, Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Books, and Photos. For example, it is perfectly safe to sync one iOS device to the Music category on Computer A and no other computer, and the same device to Photos on Computer B and no other computer.
You might be confusing what I'm saying with one iOS device enabling sync to the Music library on multiple computers. That is a huge no-no and will result in the disaster being suggested. But I am not talking about that, I'm talking about the opposite arrangement. What I am describing preserves category exclusivity. It turns out that exclusivity at the category level, not the computer level, is what really matters.
As long as a device is synced to a given category on only one computer, it doesn't matter which computer it is or whether that computer is different than the ones synced to on other categories. The instant a given category is enabled for syncing on more than on computer, that is where the trouble starts.

Trying to do so is asking for trouble. Don't do it. Move the content you need to one machine and sync only with that machine. If you don't, you'll be back here asking how to fix the mess and recover all the stuff you lost...
I will agree that it is something you should only do mindfully. But if you do make sure each category is syncing to only one device, there will be no data loss and no mess.
