Is it possible to Sync a single instance of iTunes across 2 computers?

Hi all,
Strange question, which may have an easy answer... Is it possible to have two copies of iTunes which are synced?
System stepup overview:
One desktop, one server, array of i-Devices (iPhone 5, 4, iPad 2, iPod Nano)
Server (Server 2008, always on) and desktop (Win 7) connected via Gigabit ethernet
Challenge:
Currently have iTunes running on the desktop, with all music stored on the server. Works well, and allows me to easily add and manage my music. I physically connect my iDevices to the desktop whenever I want to sync.
What I'd like to do is... Have an identical/synced copy of iTunes running on the server. Because:
1) I'd like to automatically sync my iDevices over wireless at night when I plug them into the mains - The server is always on, I don't want to have to switch on the desktop to do this.
2) I'd like the server to run the 'master copy' of iTunes as I plan on using it as an Music Server to push out music to various speakers via Airplay. Again, having a box which is always on is much better.
I've considered just running iTunes on the server and connecting via a remote desktop type - but this is still slightly 'clunky' and I like to interact directly with a iTunes (for mass tagging and adding of music.
I'm not sure if iTunes features such as Sharing or Match can help me easily overcome this problem. I.e. If my server runs the 'master' copy of iTunes can I add tracks via the desktop if I use Home Sharing?
Any help you can offer would be appreciated... I'm all googled out!

Yes this is possible, but there are some wrinkles you'll need to work out.
If you're jumping back to a menu slide after visiting one or more quiz slides, you need to make sure your menu slide is still within the quiz scope, because if at any time your user happens to jump to a slide outside the quiz scope (what Captivate considers to be 'the quiz') then Captivate locks the quiz at that point and your user cannot continue to answer questions. To get around this issue, you just need to make sure there is some interactive object either on the menu slide or before it that is set to report to the quiz as a scored object. That will extend the quiz scope to include the menu slide.
Even though you have divided your module quiz up into sections, as far as Captivate is concerned it's just one big quiz. So the reporting on your Quiz Results slide will not show your segmentation as separate scores. There are ways you can achieve (fudge) this with variables and Advanced Actions.

Are 2 separate Apple TV's capable of linking to a single instance of iTunes

Are 2 separate Apple TV's capable of linking to a single instance of iTunes?

You're correct that they don't count as authorised computers, but there is a limit on the number you can connect. I think it's five.
Most people only run one or a couple.
Winston had 5 from memory, and I seem to recall another poster had tried to add a 6th AppleTV but that either didn't work or one of the initial ones was replaced.
I agree in theory you could add countless devices but in practice you can't.

HT1977 Is it possible to sync apps from two different iTunes stores?

I have an Australian and US iTunes account and I've bought apps from both but when I try to sync them to my iPhone only the US apps sync. Is it just not possible to sync from both?

As far as I know, you can only access the iTunes store of the country you are currently in.

Using multiple iPod Touch units with a single instance of iTunes.

My wife and I both have the iPod Touch. She syncs hers on her computer, I sync mine on my computer... If I want to transfer an .mp3 or .mp4 video from my device to hers what's the best way to do that?
I tried to plug hers into my computer and iTunes opened but iTunes will not let me drag and drop music or videos (not even .mp3s) into her iPod Touch and she can not transfer anything into mine.
What is the work around to this? Why is this so?

*Apple doesn't allow you to sync multiple iPods*
Sure they do.
Plug it in and it will sync. Plug in another and it will sync.
iTunes does not sync from the iPod to the computer (except for iTunes purchases).
If I want to transfer an .mp3 or .mp4 video from my device to hers what's the best way to do that?
You can't go iPod to iPod.
Copy the music from her computer to your computer.
Or set your iPod to Manually manage music, plug into her computer and drag the music to your iPod.
I am unable to manage the other iPod.
You don't need to do it on both and you cannot go iPod to computer.
You can if you copy the files into the iPod in the Finder, then plug into the other computer and drag from the iPod in th eFInder to the desktop, then add to iTunes.

Is it possible to sync purchased music from the Itunes store to a non-Apple device?

I have a shuffle but my sister has a non-Apple MP3 player. How do I take music from my library that i purchased and add it to her non-apple mp3 player?

You would have to read the directions that came with the MP3 player to learn how to put music on it.
itunes syncs Apple devices.

Yes, it is possible.

Is it possible to sync folders (Music, Movies) to iTunes?

Hey, I was wondering, is there something (freeware, applescript, etc.) that automatically updates (syncs) content from Music/ Movies folder(s) to iTunes?

Hi,
you might want to post this question in the iTunes forum.
Actually there is a sort of workaround: Make an Alias of your iTunes Music folder (Users/Your_Name/Music), move it wherever you want it and rename it to the name you like. Although not a "real" folder is serves the same purpose.

Is it possible to sync an iTouch 4 with iTunes on a NetBook?

I JUST bought an iTouch 4, and for some strange reason, it wont appear on iTunes. The computer I have used in the past broke, so I've been using a NetBook instead. The cord is in perfect condition and I've gone through all the Apple Suport Steps. Nothings worked, and it still doesn't show up on iTunes. Please help me! I can't do ANYTHING on my iTouch until it's plugged into iTunes:( Any ideas?

I think it's a HP mini? Something like that. It's not a Mac though. Hmmm... Whats OP? And this one: http://http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/#section_1

Run a single instance of jar

It is possible to run multiple instances of a jar executable. Is it possible that only a single instance of the jar runs? If I use a exe wrapper like JSmooth or Launch4J, the exe can be made to run as a single instance. But since there are no such wrappers for linux, I need a way to restrict the jar to a single instance.

I'm not coder, sure maybe I missed lots of ..., but with ZOO what I tried, I'm (still) more satisfied with the combination Db (aplications tier) plus SingleInstanceController (GUI response), one for them (on program crashes) always d.i.e.d.

[SOLVED] Multiple Instances of Word 2010; Possible to Force Single Instance?

Is it possible to either:
Control Word instancing so that its a single instace application; OR
Adjust the behavior so that if there's already an Word of word, new documents (no matter how they're launched) will open in the existing instance and NOT a new one?
I have a user who tends to open documents en masse/in bulk, highlighting 2-8 at a time and opening them (alternate-click > open OR once selected hitting [Enter]).
When they do this, multiple instances of Word are launched.
Very rarely is there an instance for each document, but its usually close. For example, if they opened 8 documents there might be 5-7 instances, with several instances showing 2 or more documents in View > Switch Windows.
Multiple instances of Word are a problem for this user because they because a heavy user of Ctrl+F6 / Ctrl+Shift+F6.
And when documents are spread out across multiple instances, this does not work: It does not allow them to cycle through all opened documents; It will only cycle through those that are within that particular instance of Word.
Is this by design?
Is this a change in the way earlier versions of Word behaved?
Is this an 'undocumented feature' [or worse]?
Can this behavior be controlled?

No idea; I'd call it a bug.
This behavior started with Word 2007 or 2010, earlier versions opened all documents within a single instance.
See 1.
No, unfortunately not.

Can multiple hosts exist on single instance

Hi B2B gurus,
I would like to present a scenario i am trying to work out.
Lets say there are 2 buyers B1 and B2
And 2 suppliers S1 and S2.
The buyers send a PO to the supplier and the lets say the Supplier sends an Invoice to the Buyer.
Also there are 8 agreements in all. I mean all possible combinations such that a buyer can send a PO to any supplier and a Supplier can send a invoice to any Buyer.
My understanding of B2B is that it is generally a single Host TP and there can be multiple remote TP's.
To make my scenario work we will need multiple host TP's. One solution for this is to install N instances of B2B. But that is not feasible.
So is it possible to install only one instance of B2B and create multiple Host TP's and multiple agreements as i wanted.
We can use an API or something similar for this, so that this can all be done through the backend.
I agree that this may seem a little confusing, so if you have any queries feel free to ask them
Thanks
Ravi

I did read the two forums you have mentioned, from this my understanding is the following.
Without tweaking the current B2B sytem i can have one TP send multiple format documents to multiple TP's without any problems.
Eg B1 can send to S1 a PO over email . B1 can also send a Change Order to S1 via AS2/FTP?any other method.
Is my understanding correct??
So if i were to use the hub model as you suggested i will use different identifiers to identify multiple buyer TP's
And hence there will be lotsa agreements all on the basis of identifiers and doc received and that will decide the target doc format and the transport delivery method.
Qn 1 - Does this seem to make sense? (feasibility, possible issues )
Qn 2 - What will be the performance consideration? Is there any performacne guide or so ??

Deleting a single instance of a repeating event deletes the series

Has anyone noticed that deleting a single instance of a repeating event (e.g. deleting tomorrow's occurrence of a regular, weekly meeting) deletes the entire series? This is when using the calendar via the iCloud.com website. I've had this happen at least 3 times.
Configuration:
Ubuntu Linux 10.10
Google Chrome 12.0.742.91
Andrew

This happens without iCloud when you sync your calendar to MS Outlook/Exchange - it always deletes the whole series and makes it so I can never delete items from iPhone or iPad. IOS calendar is pretty lousy - won't let you edit things like the reminder time or location of the meeting, etc. when it comes through sync with Outlook/Exchange.
Wish Apple would actually make their calendar app useful or let a third party release a better one. Same goes for managing Tasks. E-mail is pretty good, but Calendar and Task management is lousy. And we don't even get to rate these apps like we do 3rd party apps.

Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
Thank you in advance.
Brian.

Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.
