How many devices (iPods) does Wi-Fi sync support simultaneously in iOS5?

I have 3 iPod Touch 3gen/4gen in my house. They are setup and all work with WiFi sync individually but I can only get two to show up at any one time in iTunes and I'm not sure how it manages to decide which iPod to show and which one to not show. Is two the maximum number of devices to show in iTunes 5 via Wi-Fi at once? I want to make sure that they all sync at least once a day or so. If you have multiple devices are they 'rotated' somehow by iTunes or am I gonna be stuck connected the 'odd iPod out' (which varies from time to time) via cable to PC?.
I want to pick up two more touches which may make the issue even more confusing. I'd like to get it settled for three before I buy my other two.
WIndows 7, latest iTunes. IPod firmware all up to date and all are setup in iTunes and in the iPod's settings to sync via Wi-Fi. Again, all work individually but only two show up on the left hand column in iTunes.
THanks!! Happy Halloween!!

How many devices can I have in my support profile?

How many devices can I have in my support profile? I have 24 and can not add any more. I just tried to add a new iPhone and it says the serial number, "We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again."

Never having seen that question before, I tried to find some information - could not find anything unfortunately. So, unless someone else has a better suggestion, my recommendation is to use this form:
http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/
Send them your question - or, if you are covered by Applecare or regular warranty, simply give them a call and ask.
24 Devices....... hmmmm, I'm green with envy!

How many external displays does the 15 inch support?

I spend 90% of my time at a desk developing, using multiple monitors. My current Windows system can support up to 4 displays, normally I run with 3. I was wondering how many external displays one can hook up to the 2.3GHz Macbook Pro. I need at least 3 displays while still having a thunderbold for external drives and eithernet. Does the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter allow splitting the single to two different monitors? Other then the Thunderbolt display, is there a way to get multiple monitors out of one Thunderbolt port?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/SP690 -> "Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors".
But there may be ways of driving three monitors - maybe someone with a Retina Display model will jump in. I know that on my 15" 2011 model, I can only drive two Apple Thunderbolt Displays.
Good luck,
Clinton

How many concurrent connections does WSA S670 appliance support.

Hi All,
Good Day!
We have an issue with our Ironport WSA S670 appliance. We have around 35K users and have access to sites like facebook.com, youtube.com etc.
The issues is that at times certain sites are not accessible via proxy. For example we cannot access youtube.com, google.com etc while we can access msn.com, espn.com etc. Moreover when we try to bypass the proxy and access the sites directly all the sites works just fine.
This issue has been repeating many times and we checked the internet link, proxy etc for any issue. In the meantime the issue gets resolved mysteriously.
The total number of connections at these times are more than 20K. The CPU utilization never goes beyond 15% but the memory is always between 70 to 90% utilized.
What is the maximum number of connections WSA S670 appliance support? Is there any configurable limit for the connections that can be established? Will it cause any issue if a lot of users are watching videos on youtube.
Also the proxy is working in one-armed design. Will that cause any issue?
Please suggest.
Cheers,
Faiz

Hi Faiz,
There are not any known issues in terms of URLs failing. I would perform a packet capture on the WSA. See my instructions below:
In order to obtain a simultaneous packet capture from the WSA & PC you will need to log into the GUI ->Support and Help -> Packet Capture -> Edit Settings -> Select the radial button No Filter.Please send me a packet capture from the WSA unfiltered. You will need to install wireshark on the PC or laptop you are testing from. It is a good idea to start the wireshark program from the PC first. I would recommend using www.iana.org as a test as it uses only on IP address.
When you have the captures completed I would first look at the WSA packet capture and use the following filter in wireshark http contains "www.iana.org". The various streams of communication will populate in the wireshark display. What you want to focus on is the streams that show the IP of the WSA and the IP of www.iana.org 192.0.32.8. We should see the following when you right mouse click the packet which shows the IP of the WSA going to the destination IP of www.iana.org:
WSA IP -------SYN-----> www.iana.org IP
WSA IP <--SYN/ACK-- www.iana.org IP
WSA IP -------ACK-----> www.iana.org IP
If you see this instead:
WSA IP -------SYN-----> www.iana.org IP
WSA IP -------SYN-----> www.iana.org IP
WSA IP -------SYN-----> www.iana.org IP
WSA IP -------SYN-----> www.iana.org IP
Then you have a problem in your network.

How many different iPods can I sync with my single iMac user/iTunes account?

Good Day to All,
Can anyone tell me how many different iPods & iPhones can I successfully consistently sync/integrate using my one "user account" in iTunes on my iMac? This ist situation:
I have always (and only) synced etc. my iPhone with my one iTunes UID which is under my ONE "User Account" on my iMac. Recently, my elderly folks gave me 2 iPods they have never used. One is a little silver 4GB shuffle (the little guy with a built on "belt clip" & it verbally tells you what song and artist is playing. The other is also an iPod shuffle ( only 1GB), also has the metal "pinch to open; belt clip"; also no display, however it came with a little USB Dock and THIS ONE has all of the user controls on the face of it in a circular patter of course..
To have COMPLETE successful "interaction/integration/syncing" etc (with no issues/complications etc) with my iTunes currently and previously only used with my iPhone, do I have to create two new additional "User Login/accounts" on my iMac (one for each iPod) to have all three if my devices work perfectly fine, or can I just use my same iMac login (UID) & iTunes that I use with my iPhone and have no worries?
(ie: I created my girlfriend her own iMac login UID which she has always used for backing up/syncing etc her iPhone with HER iTunes library etc)
In short, does iTunes have the ability to have multiple iPods & my iPhone under my one existing iTunes account AND using the same single iMac login/UID I've always used with my iPhone?
Obviously, I know I could create an iMac login for my mom's, another for my dad's & create them both their individual iTunes accounts, but they really don't want to have to worry about dealing with all that. I'm teetering between just treating them as my iPods and mixing/adding their limited CD's into my library (again, if iTunes allows multiple iPods etc as explained above..
OR; my other thought would be (again, if one iTunes account can integrate the two iPods as seperate devices and to just create ONE iMac UID login and ONE iTunes account under my dad's name, and use that one account for both of their music, both of their iPods, importing their CD's into the same iTunes library, then when syncing etc. just doing selective transfers/sync's of the specific music for each iPod... Even then, will iTunes be able to differentiate the two as far as backups/restored etc? I think answering my own question as I type due to the cloud... For completely individual cloud interaction/integration, I would def need to create each of them their own iTunes accounts, otherwise they will have all of each other's songs on their devices.. (ie: And my dad def doesn't want to worry about skipping over my mom's Journey or Aerosmith tunes to get to his Willie Nelson and vice versa for example.
(Sorry sooooo drawn out; thinking outloud) I guess it seems obvious that since all their digital music has to be on my iMac, I really should create them each their own iMac UID login as well as their own individual iTunes Acounts to insure cloud services work easily for restores/backups etc...
Thanks for stumbling thru my thought processes here (if I didn't lose ya long ago); I'm exhausted and throwing thoughts at the classroom board to see what sticks.... The best easiest way that is.. (The two aren't always the same obviously!)
Thank you all for your precious time and consideration and most if all; YOUR PATIENCE!! Any confirmation if the options and suggestions are greatly appreciated. You know, gotta take care of the folks & what is the simplest for them as just end users is the most important or they'll NEVER bother with them in the end...
Respectfully appreciative,
DB

How many devices can sync to one apple ID? I need to get all my music from an old computer to my new computer. I just purchased an album on my new computer and it's not syncing with my iPhone 5 and I don't want to pay $25 for the Cloud.

You can sync as many idevices as you like to one computer/library
The iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content fro the iphone.

Does anyone know how many devices one can have on one apple ID?

Does anyone know how many devices one can have on one apple ID?

The names are for your benefit. The devices are identified by serial number in iTunes. iTunes knows which device is which no matter what you name the devices. It works the same way with iCloud. You can name all three devices Fred - and iTunes can tell them apart - but like I said, you want to give them different names for your benefit.

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.

How many devices can sync simultaneously through iTunes?

I am looking to see how many devices can sync simultaneously through iTunes. I know that you can only restore one device at a time, but you can sync content to two devices at the same time. Is there a limit to how many devices can sync simultaneously? Thank you for your help!

Thanks. I wasn't aware that you could have multiple iOS devices connected via WiFi at once. That didn't seem to work the last time I knew of anybody trying it, but obviously it was their setup, not a general limitation.
Regards.
