  • How many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from?

    how many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from? i am trying to sync my ipod to another laptop and add my music to that computer but i was wondering if there was a limit on how many computers you can do that with. thanks all.

    You can authorize up to five computers for your iTunes purchases.
    If manually managing your device you can add content from any library.
    If automactially syncing content is managed from one library.
    Purchased content can be transfered from a device into an authorised library, otherwise iTunes only transfers content to the device.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How many ipods/iphones be synced to one account

    How many times can purchased content be synced to ipods or iphones with one account. I have replaced my iphone about 4 times now and wondering how many times I can sync purchased apps and songs to new devices using the one account. For example, can I have 10 devices using the same account and all purchased content be used on all the devices?
    Thanks for the help!

    Unlimited except for rented movies, in which case the answer is 1.

  • In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?

    In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?
    The one that came when I bought my Macbook Pro.

    Kappy, I believe that he's asking about Snow Leopard, not Lion. Your answer would be correct in reference to Lion purchased from the Mac App Store, but not Lion shipped as original OS on a new Mac.
    derojas, assuming you have a standard OEM, it-came-with-the-computer Snow Leopard installer, you are licensed to use it only on that one computer. You are not licensed to install it on any others. Many OEM discs can install only on the specific hardware model with which they shipped, anyway.
    If you have a standard retail installer, it's technically possible to install it on any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard. However, again, the license grants you the freedom to install it on only one Mac at a time (i.e. you'd have to delete it from one Mac before you could install it on another).
    There are family packs and other multi-licensing arrangements that permit the owner to install Snow Leopard on more than one Mac. You need to check the license to find out how many and what other restrictions might apply.

  • I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB.

    I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB. Right now it seems to back up my users all day long. I set their time machine interval to every 5 hours but it still runs all day long and is very slow. Server is on a new Mac Server mini.

    AFAIK, there is no user limit.. it is simply a question of the network load. AFP is a fairly clean protocol.. but TM is not.. it does a lot of testing of the backup.. infact your setting of 5hour gap could well make it worse.
    I would sort out the clients that are doing 100GB backups to a different backup location.. no matter how fast your network.. 100GB takes time to backup.. and over wireless forever.. it will never end.
    I guess some of these clients are on wireless?? I would separate the TM of wireless to those that are wired. No more than 4 or 5 wireless clients to a target device. Otherwise you are saturating your network with backup data. And use 5ghz.. so close by.. it is much faster than 2.4ghz and you will get much better transfer rates.

  • 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

    You can use as many iPods with one iTunes library as you want.

  • How many unlocked  iphones can i buy at apple store, how many unlocked  iphones can i buy at apple store

    sir how many unlocked  iphones 4S can  i buy at apple store at a time ?? Sir And Also can i sell if i don't like it....

    The online Apple Store has a limit of two iPhone 4S units per purchaser. I would suspect that the physical Apple Stores have the same limit. But as Tim said, you need to call the Apple Store from which you would like to purchase and ask, though again, they almost certainly will not have any in stock.
    Regards.

    I am new to ITunes.  My question is when I donload and purchase a song to my computer...how many devices can I download that song to ie: IPhone,Nano, IPad.

    There is no limit to the number of iOS devices you can sync content to.
    The only limitation is that you can only store and play those songs on up to 5 computers at a time.

  • How many Apple TV can sync to one iTunes account

    Hi,
    I'm googling from the morning to find the answer.
    I have 2 macbook pro and 1 imac.
    i have 3 Apple TV at home.
    As far as i know, i can sync 5 device to one itunes account.iPad, iPhone etc will not count to the account. Did the ATV will come to the same category?

    yes.
    however, ATV 2nd generation, lacking a hard drive like ATV 1st generation, does not sync with iTunes - you can only stream content to it.

  • How many different way can we call a BPEL process

    Hi Guys,
    How many ways can we call a BPEL process
    I know 3 ways
    1 ) Thru PLSQL 2) using Java API 3) From another BPEL Process.
    are there any other ways .... if so what are they ..... .
    Thanks
    Tom...

    Hi Tom,
    your normal BPEL process (a regular process you create with the "new BPEL process" wizard), can be configured in Oracle application server to be accessible
    - via SOAP over HTTP or
    - via JMS
    since it is has a WSDL based service interface.
    JDeveloper as well allows additionally more options for starting a BPEL process such as a file based interface, an e-mail as a starter etc.
    Still, I like to see the ESB as a virtualizer of the endpoint protocol, so I suggest you model the BPEL process regularly, exposing its functionality through WSDL and use ESB services that wrap your BPEL process to deal with the actual endpoints.
    Cheers,
    Hajo
