Is it possible to sync an iPhone to the new iPad?

I am guessing the answer to this question is "No," but thought I would ask it anyhow. I plan to get the new iPad, and ideally would like to be able to sync an iPhone to it. The iPhone is currently synced to an old computer that we have trashed. The iPad is being portrayed as a replacement (to some extent) to a computer, but am guessing I will still need an iMac or Mac laptop to which I will sync the iPhone. Correct?
Assuming I am correct, is it possible to sync both my wife's iPhone and mine to the same iMac? We have different documents and contacts, etc, so doubt that is possible, also.
Thanks.

You can do either one.
You can have seperate iTunes media folders or libraries under the same computer login account. This will require logging in and out of each iTunes library before each device is synced. Eliminates being able to sync each device with iTunes via wi-fi without having to log in and out of each iTunes library before doing so.

Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

No, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, it can't be transferred to another account

Can I sync tow iPhones with the same ipad?

can I sync the calender on two iphones to the same ipad?

iPhones do not sync to iPads, they sync to computers.
If the calendar is being synced to an iCloud, MobileMe, or Exchange calendar, simply set up the account on all 3 devices.

Problem syncing Safari Bookmarks onto the New Ipad

I need help syncing Safari bookmarks via Macbook(not icloud compatible) onto the New Ipad.

You need to connect the ipad to the computer then make sure safari is set to sync in itunes and complete a sync, it will sync that way.
You can go thru anything else you want to sync also and set that before you actualy sync. If your gonna sync then only do it once.

I had to re download itunes on my computer and when i plug in my iphone it says im connected to a different itunes library. is there a way to sync my iphone to the new library without erasing the stuff on my phone?

On my laptop i had itunes but recently i needed to delete everything on my laptop including itunes. When i went to update the music on my iphone i re downloaded itunes but when i plug in my iphone a message pops up saying my phone is connected to another itunes library. When i clicked sync it says that i have an option to erase and re sync my iphone. I dont really care about loosing my music but i dont want to lose all my pictures on my iphone. Is there anything i can do to keep them?

Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album. These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer. If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

My laptop was stolen how can I re-sync my iphone to the new laptop without losing all of my data?

Hi to all,
I hope someone can help me. I know this question has been asked in various formats but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for, so please forgive me if this type of question is asked again.
My laptop was stolen a few months ago and I have finally been able to replace it. The common issue of course is that I can only sync it to one iTunes library at a time, which was on my laptop that some thief is currently enjoying the use of.
I don't have a lot of money so all of my backups were on the stolen laptop as I don't have an external hard drive. I understand you can authorize iTunes or the iPhone to go on upto 5 computers at a time?
As soon as I plugged in my phone (on the new laptop) I created a backup of everything on there using iTunes. I guess my question is, if I plug in my iphone and ask it to restore from back up, will it wipe the phone and replace it with the first back up on the new laptop or will it still delete everything altogether as the original content is not on the new laptop?
As much as it would be a pain, the music content is the least of my concern. It's more a case of making sure I keep my contacts, photos and purchases from the app store. I have read somewhere that you can transfer your purchases but I'm not sure how to do this.
I really hope someone can help and apologies for the repeat topic!
Thanks in advance to any who take the time to read and reply, I will appreciate any input/insight you may be able to provide.

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

How can I add music to my iPhone 3 from a new iTunes? My old laptop crashed and I don't want to lose my music by syncing my iPhone with the new iTunes

I have an iPhone 3, and it was synced to iTunes on my old laptop. My laptop recently crashed, and now I have a new laptop. I just dowloaded iTunes and imported a few CDs that I want to add to my iPhone. Unfortunately, I can't add them to my iPhone without syncing it and therefore losing my music on my iPhone, most of which was not purchased through iTunes so I can't restore it that way. I was going to update to ios5 so I could use the cloud to save my music, but I will lose all my non-purchased music if I update. Help!!!!

Really? Why would you do that?
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself. They will not be of the original quality.
If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
No backup is not good.
