Is it possible to sync to/from two computers but only sync from a third (no upload to third/work computer, but download from it)?

Is this possible:
Two directional sync (to/from) of history, bookmarks, etc on two computers and only unidirectional sync (from only, not to) on a third? I have sync set up on my work computer and I like knowing my work history when at home or on my laptop, but I don't want all of my home history being sent to the work computer. Is there a way to have a two directional sync between 2 computers but only send history from, but not to, a third computer?
As it stands now, if someone at work would get on my history it would look like I have been looking up flights and buying things on the internet at work, but I only do that at home.
Thanks.

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

  • HT201322 Will hiding songs hide them from all computers? Is there a way to delete a song off one computer but not the other?

    My mom & I share the same iTunes account and we finally have seperate computers. If i hide songs from iCloud on my computer will it also hide them on her's? If it does, is there anyway i can hide/delete some songs off my computer but keep them on her computer because I don't want her music on my compute but i don't want to repurchase everything i have....

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • 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!!

  • When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    Hi!
    Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
    You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

  • Working from two computers

    How do folks work from two computers? I use an MBA on the road and out of the office and an iMac at home. Is there a way to sync my site on both computers? Or to download changes to my site onto the other computer? I haven't seen an obvious method for managing the site and keeping it on both computers.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Aaron ~ I haven't used Dropbox, but it offers file syncing and gives you 2GB of storage free. The problem is that iWeb's Domain file is a single unit, so that even if you change just one character on your iWeb site, the whole Domain file will be re-synced — not just the changed page.

  • Problem syncing Mail between two computers

    I know this is a well worn topic and I've read the posts on syncing mail between two computers. Overall, I've gotten it to work pretty well. Whenever I move from one computer to another, I copy my ~/Library/Mail folder to my thumbdrive and sync it w/ the same folder on my other computer before I fire up Mail on it.
    But here's the problem: I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on one of my computers (let's call it computer A). This apparently gives new message numbers to the messages. Things worked great on computer A after that.
    Then I synced the mailbox with my other computer, computer B. On computer B, the change in mailbox numbers apparently was not recognized. Every message in the "sent" folder gave me the message that I needed to go online and download the message. So I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on computer B. Things then worked great.
    Then I synced back with computer A and the same thing happened. Every message in the sent folder gave me the "download from server message."
    It seems that I'm in some sort of infinite loop. The rebuild on one computer is not recognized by the other computer. Clearly, there is some file somewhere that contains info that's not being conveyed when I sync the ~/Library/Mail folder.
    Any suggestions??

    That is interesting. To that effect I have thrown together this Applescript:
    (CAUTION... do not run this script, experimental only!
    set flashDrive to "FLASH"
    tell application "System Events" to exists process "Mail.app"
    if the result is true then tell application "Mail" to quit
    -- copy files to mounted disk
    do shell script "rm -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
    do shell script "cp -r ~/Library/Mail /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/"
    do shell script "cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
    --copy files to userfolder
    do shell script "rm -r ~/Library/Mail"
    do shell script "cp -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail ~/Library/"
    do shell script "cp /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/com.apple.mail.plist ~/Library/Preferences/"
    Problem is, I don't know how to tell the script which version of mail data is older or newer. If you know of such a way let me know and I'll script it in, otherwise the user is stuck with manually choosing what to copy to where.
    And as we all know, any user choices are error-prone.

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

    Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
    I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
    Thanks!

    No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
    export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
    work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
    re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

  • Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices" "Summary" "Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

    Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices">"Summary">"Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

    What I don't understand is that your iTunes looks different from mine--just a little bit. You have 3 circles, red, yellow, and green, in the upper right end of the top bar. INstead I have a square that is half gray. When I click it, I get a menu very similar to the menu under "File."
    The only place I see an entry for "Devices" is under "File," but it only gives the 4 options I mentioned before (see below). There is no "Summary."
    Here's another screen shot after I added an album to music. Now all the choices under "Devices" are grayed.

  • [HELP] I use Skype from two computers and i notice...

    Sorry for reposting this topic, but it didn't appear on the forum.
    Hey there.
    I use skype from two computers.
    Last week i blocked a contanct from computer1 and yesterday i unblocked it from the same computer.
    So i noticed that after i unblocked this contact, it still appears at my homepage with his picture, info and everything, BUT only from computer1.
    When i use computer2, this contact appears at my contacts, but only with his skype name (the one he uses to log in) and not with his display name. Also, i can't see his picture or any other information. It just appears offline, with his log-in name and with no picture. That's all.
    So what's going on? Why can i see everything normally from computer1 but not from computer2?
    P.S.1 99% he blocked me too, but i have no idea whether he unblocked me or not.
    P.S.2 I know my english is horrible, sorry for that.

  • Sync nano to two computers?

    If I have duplicate my iTunes files and folders on two computers can I sync a nano with both computers?
    The reason I ask is that my PowerBook that I usually sync with does not have USB2 and I can get a USB2 PCI card for my PowerMac. I was hoping that I could do the inital sync on the PowerMac and do subsequent syncs on the PBook.
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to put your Ipod into manual mode to sync it with multiple machines. To do this you need to connect it to the original computer click on "Display Ipod options" or edit>preferences>ipod>select manual sync. Between two computers there is no way to auto sync but hopefully manuel will work for you.

  • Syncing podcasts on two computers

    Is there anyway to sync podcasts on two computers without download them twice? I have an iMac, a Macbook, and an iPhone. I'd like to be able to download recent podcasts to either computer and have them show up on both computers so I don't have to worry about which computer I sync my iPhone with. I have 'Home Sharing' turned on, but it doesn't seem to help.
    Sorry for the convoluted question. I hope it makes sense.

    If they are purchased songs and both computers are the same i.e. both Mac or both PC, then you should be able to hook up the iPod to one, turn off auto sync and manually manage music. Add the purchased songs to the iPod and next time you hook the iPod up to the first computer it will ask if you want to transfer purchased music not on that computer. Do that, then you can turn auto sync back on without losing everything.
    Another way to go is to make a CD/DVD back up of your purchases and then use that to transfer everything to one computer. You might want to do this anyway so there is less a chance of losing all your purchases.

  • HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

    I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad.  I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe.  In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac. 
    Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in my iPhone and iPad?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?
    Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small.  What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
    Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

  • My ipod classic is connected to a new computer, but only sync 241 songs, out 1825.  How can I fix this?

    My ipod classic (80 GB, from 2006) is connected to a new computer, but only sync 241 songs, out 1825.  I have restored several times.  How can I fix this?  my old computer is damaged and the new one run on Windows 8.

    I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
    Does this make any sense?
    You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
    Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
    Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
    **** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
    For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
    Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
    Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
    ---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
    Hope this helps.
