HT4972 Can you sync and back up with a dial up connection

Can you back up iPhone 3GS using a dial up connection? If not what other options?

If you are trying to back up to iCloud, I don't think so. But even if you normally back up to iCloud you can still perform a manual backup with iTunes. Just connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Backup. This will create a backup on your computer which can later be used, if necessary, to restore from using iTunes.

Can you sync and iPhone 3GS with two computers?

Hi all,
I have itunes on 2 different computers - one on a desktop which is the home's media pc and has all the music and films on it.
I also have it on my laptop and this is the machine my iPhone currently syncs with as it hold my contacts, calendar, apps, ringtones etc.
Is there any way that I can put some of my music on my iPhone without physically having to copy the tracks to the hard drive of my laptop?
I've tried this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202) and it doesn't seem to work.
Any help greatly appreciated.

It doesn't work, as that article says:
"iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices."
There is no way to put media content from more than one computer onto an iPhone. You will indeed need to get all the tracks onto whichever computer you wish to have be your primary connection to your iPhone.
Regards.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

Can you download and read books with the iPad?

Can you download and read books with the iPad?

Yes. There is the free iBooks app which then allows you to download books from Apple's book store. Kindle also has an app and there are other e-reader apps.
The one thing to consider, the iPad is a backlit screen, so it's like reading off a comptuer screen. Some have issues with eye strain so just bear that in mind.

Can you facetime and play game with person at same time

Can you facetime and play game with person at same time

Yes, simply close the app and you can continue to talk. However, the other person cant see you and you cant see them. You can only do an audio session.

Can you sync an iPhone 4s with Lotus Organizer

We use Lotus Organizer 5.0 (old, I know) at work and I need to be able to sync it with my iPhone 4s, particularly the calendar. I can sync between the iPhone and Outlook, and I can import from Lotus to Outlook, but I can't get things to go the other direction. For instance, if I enter an appointment into my phone, I cannot get it to sync back to the Lotus Organizer calendar that I use at work. I can get it to Outlook, but no further.
Is there a way (including upgrading Lotus Organizer) that I can either sync directly from the iPhone to Organizer or that I can get the calendar from Outlook to export to Organizer?

Nope. Its not possible. The iPad is not a computer., Syncing can only be done through a computer. If your iPhone alread syncs your music through the computer the iPad must do the same.
Otherwise, if your library is backed up to iCloud you can use that to sync them.
The best you can do is use home sharing to share the library from one to the other over Wifi but it will not be synced. It will just be available as long as they are connected to the same Wifi network.

Can you sync and iPhone and iPad to the same computer with different Apple IDs?

I synced my ipad2 to a computer my husband synced his iPhone to. It now has his info. Is there a way to sync both devices with different IDs?

You can if you use different user accounts on the computer so you have your own iTunes libraries. It will take some work. Read this.

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 iPhone 4 with an iPad 4 iTunes?

I am trying to manage my iTunes account from my iPad 4. I would like to sync my phone to that iTunes's library. Can anyone tell me if that is possible and if there is hardware available to accommodate this? (adaptor to connect the devices). Thanks-any input is greatly appreciated!

Can you sync documents in iCloud with those on Mac

Hello all,
I was wondering, now that i have iCloud, is there a way of syncing the documents on iCloud with those on my mac. Idea being that i can start some work on my mac, go away, and then everything will be synced onto my phone, much like the calendar and contacs?

I thinit really should, hopefully we get a helper in here that has iDevices & iApps & such, but I personally consider iCloud useless & far overrated by Apple, but then that's the same opinion I have of almost all Apple's closed Apps.

Where are my devices for syncing and backing up with iTunes 12?

I plugged em in yesterday and they were there...now they are not visible in the bar next to the Music icon in the upper left bar!
I have unplug the USB, I have rebooted the iMac and the devices and notta.

Hello minnehaha,
If you cannot see your devices within iTunes on your iMac, then go over the first article to troubleshoot the issue. You may also want to reinstall iTunes by downloading and running the installer to get it working again.

Can you sync your iTunes from a iPad straight to a iPod, is there a connecter to do this?

Can you sync iPad to iPod with a connector?

You can't, connecting an iPad to iPod to copy music between them isn't supported. If it's an iPod Touch and it's iTunes puchased music then you may be able to re-download it via the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app, or if you've subscribed to iTunes Match (and uploaded your music to it from your comptuer) then you can use that. Otherwise you will need to sync them via your computer's iTunes

I can't sync/back up iPhone data to my computer b/c iPhone screen is shattered and i cant unlock it to enter in my passcode. How can I sync my broken iPhone with my computer and back up my data so I can sync and transfer the data to my replacement iPhone?

I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
Thanks.

No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks.
