How to sync libraries in homesharing on windows 8?

I'm trying to sync one library to another using homesharing, but I can't figure out how to sync the libraries. Both computers are authorized and homesharing is turned on. Where do I go to sync?

How to sync with vista 64 bit windows calendar and windows contacts

Hi all,
I see the clear msg on the Palm site saying that 64 bit windows is not supported, but that is still my need and my goal. I just bought a new DELL desktop and am transitioning to it, but this is a showstopper.
I want to ask if any user has suggestions or if anyone has insight as to if/when palm will sppt it. Today its hard to buy a machine in a retail store that is not loaded w Vista64...and I spoke to Dell about this, since they need to warn people that the OS may prohibit a person from replacing his old Dell with a new one, but they say its a Palm/Msft problem.
My Tungsten E2 is important to me, and I want to sync it daily. I am not very sophisticated when it comes to PC's or the OS's although i have learned a lot in the past 3 days. I have no room to keep 2 machines, nor desire. Any suggestions besides 'let the buyer beware'?
Signed,
Feeling Duped

I've been a Palm user for only 1 Year now and am not impressed. Sure the 755P was a flashy device with cool features. However, now after owning the device for a short period I'm looking for updates from Palm which don't exist. The browser in antiquated and doesn't support recent technology. The email system is effective, however, hope you don't receive an HTML email because you can't read it in Versamail. Palm is focused on trying to produce new devices which compete with the IPhone and Storm but aren't remembering that their loyal customers will continue to purchase devices from them if they keep them happy. Futher, after upgrading my wife's laptop to Vista 64-bit I find that we can no longer sync the device using the interface cable.
My advice at this time, is to stay away from Palm until they provide the service which customers have come to expect. I note today 12/7/08 that Palm is selling at $1.42 a share when just 8 years ago Palm stock was selling for $472.50. Don't you see the picture, people are interested in the new flashy devices, but, if you don't take care of your customer base which has been loyal they will jump ship and move on to the better technology which works.
How about providing the updates we need to work today. It will help me make up my mind next year when this 2-yr contract with Alltel is up (and i become a new Verizon) customer.
The matter is all in Palm's hands. I don't see this company surviving past 2010 unless they start taking care of people now. My advice, stay away from Palm until they fix all these issues which people have identified throughout the web.

PC Companion 2.01, How to sync outlook contacts instead of windows address book

After the first installation of PC Companion the program uses the outlook contacts database to sync my phone. There was no problem.
After some weeks the program uses the windows phone book (wab-file) of outlook express instead of the original outlook 2000 contacts database.
The picture (image1) shows the sync target on my system: In this case the program uses the windows address book instead of the outlook.
I am sure, some weeks ago, I have seen the outlook icon on this place. In the meantime I have installed the media go extensions.
In the settings I can only select windows address book.
In advanced settings of pc companion only outlook express (windows address book) is available.
How can I configure or hack the program to use outlook 2000 contacts database again?
Is there any registry key or settings file?
Uninstall an new install does not help.

How to sync libraries on two computers?

I have most of my families photos on my Powerbook and my wife wants an exact copy on her laptop. I have not found a good way to accomplish this. If I burn the photos to a DVD and she imports them, then she loses all the folders I've created. Is there anyway to solve this issue to not only copy of the photos, but to also copy over the organization?

Marcus,
If you use iPhoto's Share --> Burn Disc it will create a complete iPhoto Library of the selected items. If you select your entire library, the albums will be retained. She can then insert the disc in her machine and access it as a separate library.
Hope this helped!

How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 computer) with my iPhone 5c without iCloud?

How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 64 bit computer) with my iPhone 5c without iCloud?

You would sync Outlook via iTunes on the computer. Connect the iPhone to the computer, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes running, select the iPhone in iTunes and it will display the Summary page. Select the Info tab, and there you would select what you want to sync calendar and contacts to. Make sure since this is the first time you have done a sync that whichever of the devices is new to the sync process has at least one unique contact/calendar event to get iTunes to prompt you for a merge or replacement. You can see this support document for help in setting up initial syncing. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

Two Macs: how to sync A3 libraries?

Have a main Mac and (very soon) a MacBook.
I plan on copying the pictures from the main to the book, then work on the book (no new pics, just keywords and adjustments).
At the end of the day, I'd like to sync the book with the main, so that the main gets updated with the keywords and adjustments added to the book, ie the main's Aperture library gets updated from the book's Aperture library.
What is the easier way to achieve this? I don't mind scripting if necessary.
(there are some answers that are quite old... just hope there is new info in this department)

Sorry to have to disappoint you: Aperture 3.3.1 still does not sync libraries.
But, if I understand you correctly, in your case the "merge" should suffice; it will work, when you only change one library:
When you are done with editing on your MacBook, export the changed projects as a new Library: File > Export > Project/Folder as Library.
Import this library into your main library; use the "merge" option, not the "add" option.
When prompted how to resolve conflicts, select the imported library; this way the edited images from the MacBook will replace the older versions on your main Mac.
That is what I use when I am travelling with my MBP and need to get the changes back into the main library on the iMac when I return.
The prompt when importing the library "Leuchttuerme"
and the prompt how to resolve conflicts:

How to sync iPhone 3G with MacBook (previously syncing with Windows)

Hi, I just bought a my first Mac ever, it the brand new MacBook 13" and so far I'm loving the whole Mac experience. I have a question though. I have an iPhone 3G and until now I sync it with my other Win machine. Everything is ok there. However, I'm now thinking to start using the iPhone with my MacBook but I don't know how to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing the info I have in the iPhone. I'm not concerned about the apps, music or videos because I know to transfer that kind of info to another machine (i did it already with my iPod touch and the iPod classic and everything went fien, I didn't lose any data in the process). However, with the iPhone I don't want to lose the contacts and the saved SMSs. Can anyone tell me how to sync the iPhone to my Mac easily without losing anything? btw, I have no songs in the iPhone, just one free app (midomi). I heard that I can automatically get the app in any other computer as long as I use the same iTunes account so the server remembers that I "bought" it.

thxs Scott, that is actually what I thought that would happen but I wasn't sure. I will give it a try later. Btw, when you say: "make sure to backup the info", do I need to do a backup manually or, is it ok if I just connect the iPhone to the old machine so iTunes can make the automatic backup?
cheers.
Nah, just sync it with the Windows machine before you begin. Odds on you won't need it, but if you do, then at least it is there.

HT5953 i want to sync my ibook to my windows pc how do I do this?

i want to sync my ibook to my windows pc how do I do this?

If you mean copy the contents of the iBooks app on your phone to your PC, then you can connect your iPhone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy your iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes - that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks. Is that what you mean ?
Unless the ibooks are free ibooks, or they don't have digital rights management them (most paid-for ibooks have DRM), then you won't be able to read them on a PC

How to Sync my IE 11 favourites with my Windows 8.1 Phone?

Hi All,
I have the developers version of Windows Phone 8.1 on my HTC mobile. I am trying to sync my IE favourites between my Windows 8.1 laptop and my Windows Phone 8.1 mobile phone. This
is meant to be a new feature in Windows Phone 8.1 but I cannot find any instructions on how to do it. I know how to sync my IE 11 favourites between my laptop and my desktop using OneDrive but I cannot sync with my phone.
I hope you can help.
Many Thanks
CE

Hi CE,
Both the favorites IE tabs sync between your Windows 8.1 device and Windows Phone 8.1.
When you are looking at your Mobile Favorites, look at the bottom of the screen and you will see a Folders icon. Tap this icon and you will see all your favorites from your desktop. Enjoy!
I hope this helps!

How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows

How To : How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows (May work on Mac too)
NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE THE MUSIC FILES ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY
If your like me and format your computers only to discover that you've lost all those time consuming playlists that you spent hours on, well your in luck.
Without any Third-Pary programs it's possible to save those awesome playlists, and pull them back from the blink of oblivion.
Step 1 - Connect iDevice to your computer and then open iTunes.
Step 2 - Locate your iDevice on the left side bar on iTunes under the heading 'Devices', click the arrow on the left of the devices name and select a playlist.
Step 3 - Right-Click the selected playlist and choose 'Export playlist', Save it as a Text file.
Step 4 - In iTunes, up the top click 'File' then locate Library, move across to 'Import Playlist...', Select the playlist you just created and click open.
Step 5 - Your playlist will appear on the left side bar under the heading 'Playlists', Select the playlist and attempt to play one of the songs contained.
Step 6 - You would have been prompted that iTunes doesnt see the file, select 'Locate' and then go to the location of your music and locate the file.
(Sorry dont have an image for this one due to having all my music already found)
Step 7 - Doing this once will find all the music in the playlist given that it's in a similar location of the song you found.
Congrats you have successfully moved a playlist back from oblivion

There's a different method.
1. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> Check Manually manage music and videos.
2. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
done.

How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?

How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?
I read through the manual and it didn't mention anything about multiple libraries.
All I found was about streaming more than one computer.
Isn't this supposed to be a product that's multi-user orientated?

AC is correct, but remember the 5 streams does include the synced library (in case you don't want to move all your content over to your AppleTV box)

How do I sync ipod classic to new windows 8 computer?

I want to sync my ipod classic to a new laptop, operating on Windows 8. My existing itunes account is on my old, very slow desktop computer. On there, is my current music library.
1) Please could someone tell me, how to sync my ipod to my new computer, in simple terms if at all possible!
2) If I manage this, can I copy my itunes music library to my new computer?
Thank you in anticipation!

You need to copy your entire iTunes folder to the new computer from the old one. Otherwise you could lose some of your content.
