How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch

How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch (iOS5.1) & iMac account to Mountain Lion when it was originally sync'd to my account on Loin using my ID?

Ok, to clarify:
1. You had the iPad2, iTouch, and iMac account sync'ing on 10.7 Lion under your account?
2. Now you want change those devices to your wife's Apple ID and maybe a new login account for the wife?
(Did you upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion on a single iMac that you share?)
If that's what you meant:
1. If the devices were activated and sync'd under your Apple ID on your computer then going to a second computer you will receive an error in iTunes about the device being sync'd to a different computer. You will have to wipe the devices and start over to change that... You could also end up having Apps installed on the iOS devices some under your AppleID and some under your wife's AppleID. That can be painful as you need to logout of the App/iTunes stores and switch accounts then update. You'll see updates available but not be able to update all of them because half are under a different AppleID.
However, it is possible to share an Apple ID for purchases between devices. I use my AppleID between my work iPad3, iPhone4S, the wife's iPad2 and iPhone4 as well as my Mac's and the wife's iMac. This way all purchases are made under one account. I then setup the wife with her own iCloud account while still using my AppleID for the App/iTunes stores. All she has to know is the password to my account and I think I can trust the wife with that.
Going to need very specific information to provide you the proper course of action to save you time and effort.

How to sync data/apps between different iTouches?

I have my itouch, and some apps for my kid.
If I buy a new itouch, I'd like to move all my existing data to the new ipod touch, then put only a few apps on the old ipod touch.
how would i go about managing multiple ipod touch devices using itunes?
Can I mix and match apps between the various ipods?

You can sync as many ipods as you like to one computer/library.
Each device is different and can be set to sync whatever you like.

you need to highlight the tracks, right click, get info, options. change the 'media kind' to audiobook.

How to restore deleted playlists to an itouch after syncing with wrong device. Tried to search for device to restore under devices and it completely removed it as a device on itunes. Is there anyway to get the information back?

To start we have several users and devices on our itunes account....Several weeks ago I was using my itouch to create playlists for a few aerobics classes that I teach. Right before I was about to unplug the itouch I got a notification that my itouch was full and didnt have any space left. Since I was done with what I was doing at the time, I unplug my itouch and figured I would delete unwanted songs later to create more room. A week later, I went to sync my itouch into itunes and over the devices it told me that it was named another device and wanted to know if i wanted to sync the information to my itouch I had just plug in. I had never seen this message before in all the other times I had used it, and at the time I didnt realize that it was giving my device the name of another user in my house. Without realizing it itunes started to sync the new information to my itouch. I immediately unplugged the usb cable stopping the process. I then replugged the usb cable in, hoping to get done what I needed to get done on my itouch thinking it might have just been a strange glitch. Also, since I hadn't notice any change on my itouch from the incorrect syncing, I continued to start itunes again. This time it asked me the same question as before "did I want to sync the information from another ipod?". Since I didnt notice any changes before I just let it do the syncing not realizing at the time that it was earsing all the info I had on my itouch and replacing it with info coming from the other users ipod.
I contacted Apple and they gave me infomation on how I could go look for my itouch under devices and get the information back. When I did this my itouch was no longer there under the devices and it was replaced with the new name that itunes had given my itouch. This device is one of the first generation itouches and has never been backed up that I know of... So my question to you all is...Is there any way of getting my playlists back???? I spend countless hours creating these playlists for my classes and have been completely out of my mind trying to figure out how I can possibly get the infomation back. Please let me know if you think there might be a way to do this!!!

The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices. It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters. They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
I hope this helps!

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

How do i redirect wifi sync in iOs 5 to a different computer user

how do i redcirect wifi sync to a different user on the same computer? how do I redirect wifi sync to a different computer on the same network?

Is this possible?
Jeff ~ Yes. Make a copy of the iWeb Domain file (normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, although it can be moved) and then open it in iWeb by double-clicking. Delete the site you don't want in that Domain file by selecting the site in the left side column and then Edit menu > Delete Site. Then you can transfer than Domain file to another computer, but check out NOTE 1 here:

Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings. Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.

How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

Unless both ipads were set up with the same Apple ID, there really isn't.
This does depend on the app however. I don't read iBooks, but there are some e-reader apps like Kindle that may allow you to 'loan' the book to someone else. Or, using an e-reader app, the book can be 'checked out' of a library that supports downloaded books. You have an account, 'borrow' the file, use an e-reader app to read it, and have a certain time frame in which to finish reading.

Where they are stored on a C3, and how to recover them to a PC?

How do I get my iPhone to sync over wifi with my new hardrive?

I had to replace my hardrive in September. I plugged in my iPhone and it says it's waiting to find the name of my old hardrive before syncing over wifi with it. How do I change the name of the computer my iPhone is looking for to sync with? Or, if it would be better, how do I change the name of my new hardrive to make iPhone happy? (It's been so long I can't remember.)

You have to turn on Wi-Fi sync again. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

Hi Terri571,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
Best,
Jeremy

HT1418 How to sync Contacts on iTouch to Outlook on PC?

Can anyone advise me on how to sync my iTouch contacts to Outlook on my PC?

After posting I found a few related threads such as here and here.
To clarify my question: I don't expect "automatic" syncing with my Blackberry, or even with my older Macs. I get it – Apple doesn't want me to have that goody without buying some new iron. Fine.
All I need is a way to MANUALLY bring the contacts on my older Macs up to date with the iCloud contacts. Then I can manually sync my BB.
Isn't there some easy way I can force my Mac to use the contacts on my iPod?

I am giving wife my IPAD3. How do I move all her IPAD2 settings/data/apps to the IPAD3.

backup the ipad2 to a computer running itunes using the usb cable
and then restore the new one with the backup of the old one
you can also backup and restore the same way on icloud but one only get 5GB for free which is rarely enough to hold the data

How to sync wifes new iphone4 to my iphone 3g with both on my apple id?

how to sync wifes new iphone4 to my iphone 3g with both on my apple id?

I think that might not work. If you backup your wife's new phone and then try and restore the 3G from that backup I think that you will get an error message because the 3G needs to have the same iOS or higher than the 4 and the 3G can only have iOS 4.2.1 On another note it is not good to use the same ID for imessage on two phones ( if that uis what you plan on also doing) as you will get each others messages
