How to "sync" with two computers?

I use two Macs -- a Macbook Pro at home and a Mac Pro at work.
Is there a way to sync just media-related content on the computer at home, but then sync my contacts on my work computer?

Tansee iPod Transfer can help you . if you directly click sync, it will erase all music on your iPod and replace with the content of this new iTunes library.
But here is a solution. All you need is to get all existing music/videos from your iPod to this new computer and iTunes. Simply use this popular program called Tansee iPod Transfer
The whole process is easy and safe.
With just a few simple clicks, it will help you copy all videos/songs from iPod back to your selected folder on the new computer, and then you can easily add those songs back to iTunes.
More importantly, this won't overwrite any original files on your iPod. And all song names are preserved.
In this case, all songs/videos (both new and old) are on your iTunes library that you can syn with whenever you wish to without deleting any files

  • How to sync with two computers not at the same time, I'm registerd with one computer

    How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
    Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

    Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

  • I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers

    I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers, it's telling me it will erase what's on my iPad and re-sync. Will I lose my iPad data that's on it?

    No - not at all. Look at that one app that I gave you the link for. That is supposed to transfer all of the iPad content to the new computer. I have no idea how much it costs, but it's worth a look. There are other out there as well. Google "apps to transfer iPad content to computer" or something to that effect. These apps claim to transfer everything.
    Several things to remember - you can still transfer all of the iTunesicon tent that you purchased by using the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes. Just remember to turn off auto syncing before you do it. You will also have to authorize your new computer to transfer the purchase if you haven't done so already. From the iTunes menu on your computer go to Store> Authorize this computer.
    Plus any apps or music that you have bought can be downloaded again at no charge with the cloud feature in the latest iPad iOS.
    EDIT - I see that you did transfer the purchases. Look at one of those apps that I described and they should be able to get you set up. You should also invest in an external hardrive for backing up all of your computer content ... don't want this to happen again!

  • Sync with two computers doesn't work anymore?

    Hi there
    I used to sync with my iPOD with both computers that I use. Work and Home. that's because I mostly buy music with this work computer cause it has MUCH faster connection than I have @ home.
    About a week ago I purchased John Lennon songs. Before that I had to update to iTunes plus (7.0.3) so I did so. Then I though that I just sync with iPod so I can get those songs to home computer as well. This has worked to this day without any problems. It syncs only purchased music, videos and games but nothing else and that is fine for me.
    This time it was different. When I connected my iPOD to my work computer it sayd that if I want to sync this iPOD with my work computer, it must be fully erased first. Well that's not a bad idea so I did it. Then I got home and updated my iTunes and tried to sync it with that too to get Lennon inside it but no... It said that I now how to erase my iPod in order to use it with my home computer. and transfer john Lennon songs into it. I was like what the ****... this was working fine before this new iTunes.
    So. Am I now totally slaved to use only one computer with iPOD?
    If this is a standard way to do it today, then I just have to use 3rd party software to do it or just burn them to CD... But this is not why I get this device... I wanted this to be easy as ****.. Not a prison.

    You cannot "sync" with multiple computers, you need to use the iPod manually.
    See this.
    How to use an iPod with more than one computer.
    Or are you trying to transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to iTunes?
    You do this by using the file/transfer purchases menu in iTunes, but I think you'll still need the iPod set to manual.

  • How to sync with multiple computers?

    I have my iTunes library on my MacBook and all of my Apple devices synced accordingly. My family also has an iMac, and I would like other family members to be able to sync from the iMac. I know I can use Home Sharing to allow the iMac to view/play the music when my Macbook is active on the network. I also know I can purchase iTunes Match so I can access the music when my MacBook is offline and edit the playlists. Yet, I would love to be able to set up the iMac so the iDevices could actually by synced with that computer as opposed to mine. How can I go about this?

    Yes, you can sync your device with multiple computers.  Only that one is set to AUTO SYNC whilst the rest is set to "MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC".
    Refer to this article:

    However, issues may occur leading to data corruption or data loss if you regularly sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, or bookmarks between multiple computers using iTunes and your iOS device. Syncing once to move your data to a new computer should not cause these issues.

  • Solution to syncing with two computers

    i have a client who wanted to sync her addresses, datebook, mail etc at her office and her music and photos at home. i was told by many many people at apple that this was impossible.
    finally i got a great iphone guy on the phone who said sure, you can do that. i thought i would post what he told me in case anyone else wants to do this.
    it seems pretty obvious now but....
    with the phone plugged it, go through all the things to sync and only click the ones you want to sync on that computer. on the summary page, under options, only click the second option...only sync checked items.
    this worked flawlessly ...hope this can save someone some reasearch time....

    It works. Make sure you:
    1. Select "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones" under Edit / Preferences / iPhone in the iTunes menu.
    2. Uncheck "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" in the Summary tab of iTunes.
    3. Check "Only sync checked items" in the same tab.
    4. On the computer you want to sync contacts and calendar, check the corresponding boxes in the Info tab. UNCHECK everything else in the MUSIC, PHOTOS, PODCASTS and VIDEO tabs.
    5. Sync your iPhone with this computer FIRST.
    6. On your other computer, follow the same steps above (1, 2 and 3). Then, UNCHECK everything in the INFO tab, and check everything else on the other tabs.
    7. When you sync with this second computer, you may get a message that the iPhone has already been synced with another computer, and that the media library will be deleted. Fine. There should be NO media library on the iPhone since you unchecked all the media items on the first computer, right?
    8. Sync. Then you can sync on both computers and each will sync what is checked and not overwrite the rest.
    I have this working on two PCs with Windows XP. I have read posts of folks doing it with two Macs, and with one Mac and one PC.
    This is not sanctioned by Apple, so I dont know if these steps are "correct". I only know that these are the steps I followed and worked for me. Your mileage may vary.

  • Syncing with two computers

    I am planning on buying an Iphone next week, but have a question. Would I be able to sync my itunes libraty with my home computer, but my email/contacts with my work computer (outlook)?

    In regards to iTunes content including 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
    Contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers.
    An iPhone can have different sync preferences with iTunes on different computers, but best to disable automatic syncing when your iPhone is connected to iTunes, which can be selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences, or iTunes includes a global preference setting to not automatically sync when an iPod or iPhone is connected.
    You can select sync music, video, podcasts, 3rd party apps, and transfer photos with iTunes on your home computer, and sync contacts and calendar events with the supported application on your home computer in addition to syncing contacts and calendar events only with a supported application on your computer at work.
    The iPhone supports syncing contacts and calendar events direct with Outlook 2003 or 2007 via the iTunes sync process.

  • Sync with two computers

    Hi,
    I have just received a new blackberry curve.  I am having trouble maintaining the syncronization connect between my work email and the curve.  I have installed a third party organizer on the curve and onto both my work and home computers.  Using Desktop manager, I've sync'd up the DB's between work and the curve and my email keeps right on flowing.. what is sent to me at work, shows up on the curve.  perfect.  Now I've just installed Desktop manager on my home machine to sync my home DB with the curve DB.  When this occurs, email stops being forwarded from the work server.  I reconnect to the work machine and eMail starts being forwarded again.  I suspect that the Desktop manager software is trying to connect with my ISP email account and things go boom... Is what I'm trying to do even possible?  I'm using version 4.2 of the Desktop manager..
    Thanks,
    Jim Stegeman

    Thanks for the reply..
    Let's see..
    I have one third party application that uses a DB for passwords, numbers, etc.. And that is what I am trying to keep sync'd between the work computer, home computer and BB.
    In answer to the two email addresses.. yes.. I could try the work email but I'm not within the work domain/firewall so I'm not sure that would work.. As for BIS or BES... I'm not sure what work has established.  All I really want to do is sync the DB between the 3 devices.  Kinda like media sync.

  • Will IOS 5 allow the iphone 3gs/4/4s to sync with two computers ?

    I have a question about the new IOS5  Will it allow to sync my Iphone to My desktop and to my Macbook without losing my  info.  I know that on IOS4 and below it will erase your content. But since I cloud will remove the pc from the normal use with the iphone, will it now be able to sync.  I use my desktop as my main computer. But when i travel may need to sync my phone with my Macbook for new music that i buy from other places than Itunes. Putting my Entire library on my Macbook is not a option as i have over 1TB of music and videos from itunes over the years. i only have a 320gb hd in the mac so i pic and choose what i put on.

    Everything that's known (or can be discussed) about iOS 5 is on the Apple web pages. If you don't see it there, you won't find out about it here. You'll have to wait until Wednesday when it's released.

  • Synch iPad with two Computers?

    I have the iPad 3 Wi Fi genertion. Can this iPad be Synch to two Different computers. One computer has windows vista home premium and the other has windows XP Pro. If so, how is it accomplished? Thank you.

    The key word in your question is the word "sync". The answer to your question is - No- you cannot sync to two different computers. Syncing with iTunes will transfer content from that iTunes library to the iPad. If you sync with another computer, iTunes will overwrite the iPad contents from the first iTunes library with the content from the second iTunes library.
    You can use multiple computers for the purpose of putting music onto the iPad, but you cannot sync with two computers. You can read about that process here.

  • How to keep playlists in sync between two computers?

    I have a MacBook Pro and a regular desktop Windows 7, and I have all of my music on both of them. However, I constantly keep adding new songs to different playlists all the time, and this makes it hard to keep everything in sync with both computers and my iPod because I usually sync from my Mac.
    Right now I export the updated playlists on one of the computers and import it on the other, but it's quite the hassle just to keep some playlists in sync. I tried using home sharing, but it just keeps downloading duplicates everytime I try to import, I would've thought it was smarter by just adding the new songs but appearently it isn't.
    So, anyways, is there any easy way for me to automatically keep playlists in sync between two computers?

    I am indeed subscribed to iTunes Match.  Are you saying that with Match, it will sync my playlists?  I will have to check this when I get home.  That would really be a nice surprise!
    I sync my iPod to iTunes on my Windows 7 box, but use iTunes on my Mac for synching my iPhone 6 and iPad 2.  Normally, I'd be modifying a playlist on the Win 7 box, adding or rearranging songs.  However, occasionally, I might download a song to the iPhone while out and about.  Then, when I'm back at the Mac, I'd do a sync and add that new song to one of the playlists.  Should Match then be keeping the playlists on the two machines in sync?
    As for the library replication, I had to do that when I first signed up for Match.  I was WAY over the 25k song limit, so I made a copy of the library, and in that copy deleted enough songs to get me under the limit.  Also discovered scripting and did some really neat things with that tool.  Still have the option when I start iTunes to use the old library, just in case there's something there I need to copy to the smaller lib.

  • Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please?

    Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

    Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

  • Sync between two computers

    May I "sync" my iWeb entries so that I may update iWeb on either my main machine (a MBP) and my mini?
    And, if so - how? Many thanks.

    As long as the domain file is under 2 GB there's a way to automatically sync the domain file on two computers as your work. That's to use DropBox, a free service up to 2 GB. Old Toad's Tutorial #20 describes how to set it up (for iPhoto but it would be the same for an iWeb domain file). As you work on a domain file with computer A the file will be updated on computer B if it's online or as soon as it goes online the next time.
    As the tutorial warns *you can't have two people working with the same domain file at the same time*. But for one person with two computers it would work very nicely. You can have two people editing a single document like a text document at the same time but not with packages containing many files that get changed within.

  • Simultaneous sync with two exchange servers - will it ever be possible?

    I fully understand that this is not possible at present (one has only to try to get a very clear pop-up message). I also understand that nobody can predict (or is willing to say) what is coming in future releases. My question is whether or not simultaneous syncing with two exchange servers is even theoretically possible. I don't undertstand exchange/ActiveSync well enough to even know if it's in the realm of possibility.
    If not, I'll try to find another way to do what I want (Gmail for calendar and contacts and work for mail, calendar and contacts) - I am open to suggestions. If it is, I'll have to figure out how important one (or the other) is to me for now and wait for the day when I can have my cake and eat it too.
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure if this is an ActiveSync limitation, but it might be since I don't believe accessing more than one Exchange account via ActiveSync with a Windows Mobile device is supported either, and ActiveSync and Windows Mobile are Microsoft products.
