HT1296 Can you sync a apple ipod with more than one computer without loosing songs

Once an iphone or ipod has been connected to a computer can it be connected to another without loosing your ring tones or songs

No, even with manually managing music and video enabled.
Simply connecting the device to another computer and even to iTunes won't erase anything, but if you try to sync or transfer music or any other iTunes content, all existing iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided beforehand that this will occur. The same applies when trying to transfer photos to the device from another computer.
You can import photos/videos from the camera roll as with any other digital camera with any computer.

  • Can you sync an iPad 2 to more than one computer.

    I got a new ipad2. Can I sync it with my Mac at my house and also on my pc at work

    You can authorize more than one computer with iTunes, but you have to maintain your iTunes library on one machine.  Otherwise, you'll have a syncing nightmare.  So, it's not advisable to sync to more than one computer as you'll be in a situation where you'll lose data from one machine to the next.  Come this fall when iOS 5 is released, you won't need to sync with a computer at all.  For the time being, I recommend you limit syncs to one computer.........

    Say I wanted to leave my phone at home.  Could I sync my apple watch to my husbands phone but still get my texts etc???

    If you're within about 20-30 feet, sync will be via Bluetooth. If the phone is on a wifi network, you can be farther away: exactly how far varies according to the quality of wifi, walls etc.

  • Can I use iPod with more than one computer?

    I have a 60gb iPod w/ color (4th Gen). On my laptop which is my home computer I also have all my music as well as on my iPod. I would like to know if I can put all my music on a second or even third computer so that I can access the music. Also, my girlfriend has a iPod nano. Would she be able to access my music if I put the music on her computer?

  • Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

    i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

    I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
    First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
    Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
    Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
    If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

  • Can you point remote telemetry data to more than one computer running Scout?

    If more that one person on a team wants to profile something, it seems there are 3 choices,
    run Scout on the same test machine (this is not always possible or desirable)
    remote profile using a single, designated computer running Scout
    manually edit "TelemetryAddress" to point to the person's computer wanting to do a test
    Is it possible to point the telelemtry to more than one remote machine?
    For example can the flag entry in teleletry.cfg have multipe remote IP's?  Something like
    TelemetryAddress=192.168.1.20:7934, 192.168.1.55:7934
    It appears not.  What's your say?
    My current setup:
    I have a low end test computer on which I run the Flash content  (i.e. Scout is not installed/doesn't run on this computer).  Following the instructions given under "Remote profiling for desktop content", the ".telemetry.cfg" file points all telemetry data to a remote computer running Scout.

    I realize this is an old thread, but I couldn't help but consider this interesting question.
    You could, on a linux or OS X box -- as along as they have the netcat and tee utilities -- listen on the telemetry port and forward to multiple recipients.  The command to listen to port 7934 and relay to both two other machines, 10.0.1.100:7934 and 10.0.1.101:7934, is:
    nc -l 0.0.0.0 7934 | tee >(nc 10.0.1.100 7934) >(nc 10.0.1.101 7934) > /dev/null
    You can add as many recipients as you like with more >(nc ipaddress 7934) clauses in the middle.
    In this case, point your .telemetry.cfg at the machine running this script, and it will forward the telemetry data to the IP addresses you specify. If they're all running Scout, they should all see the data.
    For kicks, here's a couple other useful commands:
    Capture telemetry data to a file:  nc -l 0.0.0.0 7934 > data.flm
    Push saved data.flm file to Scout on localhost port 7934:  nc localhost 7934 < data.flm
    Just one more reason Linux rules. Hope this helps someone!
    Best,

    If we start an iBooks Author project on one (older, slower) MacBook Pro, can we continue working on it on another (newer, faster) MacBook Pro? Is it essentially in the cloud or is there a workaround? Thanks!

    To work on it you would need to transfer the .iba file from one computer to the other.  It is not in the cloud.

  • HT5622 Can you use an apple id on more than one device?

    I'm currently having difficulties posting messages to my iPad and iPhone.  I used to be able to use one ID for both devices with iOS 6.  Now with iOS 7 it seems to have difficulties using one ID across multiple devices.  I hope this is not how it was designed.  Any advice?

    You can use your Apple ID for up to ten devices, up to five of which can be computers.

  • Can I sync my Palm TX on more than one computer?

    I have a Palm TX, loaded with all my information, I sync it with my primary PC. I would like to be able to sync it with my laptop & also another PC.  Is this possible and could someone walk me through the setup or procedure?
    Thanks MG
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hello mgilhooley and welcome to the forums...
    You can sync your device with multiple computers.  However, is is very important to use the same version of Palm Desktop on all the computers and the same username you are using on the original Desktop and device.  If these are different, you could get data corruption and duplicated contacts and end up corrupting all the Desktop applications.
    To do this, install the same version of Palm Dektop to the computers in question, and simply sync the device.
    Are you working with different Operating Systems on each computer or are they the same as well?  This may determine whether you can sync with that device.  For example, Vista 64 bit will not allow a cable sync option.....
    Good Luck and let us know how you did...
    Thanks,
    Colapop
