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.

I am trying to sync my iphone 4s with my new macbook pro and it says that i need to erase the content because i am connected to another itunes store, which i am but i dont know if i want to erase my content.... any sugustions???

"would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
No.
"The computer it is synced to is a dell"
So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer. You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.

How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?

How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?
As stated you can't. Even if the compressed data is TV compatible, the container is not. If the file is playback compatible with the QT X Player, you can, of course, play the file on your main system and "mirror" its display to the TV. Unfortunately, this normally means only the video is played back via the TV device. On the other hand, if you convert the MKV content to an TV compatible file (or move the compressed data to an TV compatible container if the data is already TV compatible), then you can mirror the QT X player (with audio) to the TV device in the full screen mode, air play/mirror it from iTunes (or any mobile device), or stream it directly from itunes.
Basically, what you can do here depends on the compressed data in the MKV file container and how you define "mirroring."

I tried to put a copy of windows xp on a dos partition on my mac pro and now cannot access the hard drive with the latest maverics on it

I tried to put a copy of windows xp on a dos partition on my harddrive partitioned for mac pro os x maveriks 10.9.3 but with a dos partition fat32 for the windows; but when I tried to reboot I cannot now access the hard drive. Sometimes I get a white page with a question mark and sometimes I get a black screen with a blinking curser at the top. I have a backup mac with lion which I am now using to comunicate.

Windows XP has a notorious reputation for crapping on multiple partition boot blocks, including in your case, OS X.
There are three options.
Boot into Recovery (Press and hold command+R at boot)Choices
Restore from Time Machine backup
Retrieve and install current version of OS X from Apple Servers
Boot into Internet Recovery (Press and hold option+command+R at boot)
Requires Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or later
Retrieves and installs original version of OS X that shipped with the machine
Must update to Mavericks again
Restore user data from Time Machine
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar appointmentSee if Apple will reinstall OS X Mavericks for you
When you resurrect your machine, follow Eric Root's advice about Boot Camp, or a Virtual Machine. Boot Camp v5.1 on Mavericks no longer supports Windows XP, Vista, or Enterprise versions of Windows 7 or 8.

My iphone and my Mac have different accounts. How can I change my iphone account to my Mac account and keep everything together on one account?

I have the new Mac Book Air and The Iphone 4s. I also do not want to completely get rid of my account on my iphone.
Any answers are appreciated! Thanks

You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

I was trying to transfer iTunes from my iPhone 4 to my new Mac Pro and now all i can get on my phone is the iTunes logo and a usb cord pointing to plug into it. my phone wont do anything else? Help if you can?

I was trying to transfer itunes to my macpro from my iphone 4 and the phone froze up with the itunes logo and a usb cord looking like its suppose to plug into the itunes.. Now my phone wont go past that screen and i cant use the phone at all... Help if you can?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

I am syncing my Iphone 3 to my mac osx and once it starts syncing my bookmarks it just keeps running and never finishes syncing

Have you got a solution yet?

I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
Is it possible to merge the libraries?
Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
Thanks for your help!

1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
3. Yes.

HT201272 i just bought a Mac Pro and it says i can't download previous purchases because i don't have permission to where do i go on this laptop to change that

i bought a macbook pro and i am trying to download my previous purchases in itunes and it says that i have not authorized to do this. Where do i go to activate it?

OK Folks i believe i have actually found the solution. I know i am a bit slow but i only got my New HTC One 32gb today (it was free from Three). Like you it would not connect to my Mac or work PC. So here is the way i got it to work. Download Android File Transfer if you have not already got it. Make sure you have USB Debugging setup etc. Now you need to download a free programme called SyncMate. I used SyncMate 4 because i am running OS X 10.7. There is a paid for version of Syncmate but we just want the free version as it seems to contain some drivers that will make Android File Transfer see you phone. Download SyncMate, install it as per usual and hey presto when you plug in your HTC One Android File Transfer should open automatically...BINGO!!! It worked for me which i am really chuffed about as i was just about to ring Three back up to get the phone returned. Let me know if it worked for you too :-)
Cheers dudes

How many devices for one subscription?

Can I use photoshop on my notebook AND desktop AND my iPad - with one subscription?

There is no "big" Photoshop for iPad, so it's irrelevant. All such products are separate purchases not related in any way to Creative Cloud. Only the complimentary apps for syncing and file exchange are free and require to sign in to verify your account. Otherwise you have 2 activations for the desktop versions.

Syncing new iPhone 4 to old Mac (OS X 10.4.11) vs. Gateway with Vista

My MacBook isn't compatible with the new iPhone 4 (haven't been able to successfully upgrade with the disk I got several years ago). However, I do have a Gateway with Vista (which should be compatible).
If I originally sync iPhone to iTunes 9.2 via the Gateway computer, will I be able to sync it to an upgraded Mac at a later point? Or will I be stuck with syncing to the Gateway?
Thanks for any insight....

You will be able to synch it to an updated Mac later. Just be sure to transfer your iTunes library from your current computer to the new computer.

I tried to sync my iPhone 4S to new work laptop and it keeps buzzing, won't sync

I just got a new Dell laptop for work and installed iTunes. When I hooked up my iPhone 4S to my laptop, Windows first showed that it was installing some driver and then iTunes opened, and then my phone just kept repeat buzzing. I noticed the battery icon & bluetooth icon at the top right of phone screen kept flickering. I opened Control Panel-Device Manager-Bluetooth Devices and a Bluetooth Mobile Device icon would pop up and then disappear repeatedly.
I tried disabling the Bluetooth driver, and then disconnected and re-connected my phone - iTunes opened up again but I still got the repeat buzzing, and an error message that iTunes could not connect to phone.
I still have my old laptop and it connects and syncs my phone no problem.
Not sure what is the problem or what to do next?
I'm guessing my IT dept will just tell me that they don't support iTunes and that I'm on my own with this issue.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
