One iPhone and two Macs

I would like to sync iPhone Contacts with my Mac@work and my iPhone Music with Mac@home. How to do it ? I tried to desactivate auto sync, but once Music is sync (Mac@work)and I log Mac@home, I have this message "you cannot be sync with two different libraries...". Any idea please ? Thank you.

Your iPhone can have different sync preferences with iTunes on each computer.
If you want to sync iTunes content - music, videos, and podcasts with your Mac at home, select Sync music for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac at home. If you don't want to sync contact info with your Mac at home, don't select sync contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
When you connect your iPhone to your Mac at work, deselect sync music for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac at work, and select sync contact info under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
You can sync iTunes content with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and you can transfer photos to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process from one computer only. When you sync iTunes content and transfer photos from a different computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process from another computer will be erased first.
You can sync contact info, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.

    I have one Iphone, and two computers. They both have different purchases on them. One is older than the other. and one was my moms. How do i get the ringtones off of my computer and onto my moms computer to use all of them on my Iphone?

    Copy them to a cd/dvd/flash drive/external drive/etc,  then to the other computer.
    E-mail them.

  • Is it possible to sync one iPhone to two Macs? One for the music library and one for contacts, emails etc

    At home I have two Macs, one for work and another which acts as a sort of entertainment hub storing all my music, podcasts and videos as well as being for the family to use.
    Is it possible to sync my one iPhone to both Macs, with the work one just syncing things like my contacts, emails, calendars and apps while the other Mac would sync just the podcasts and music to the iPhone.
    Would this cause any problems and what is the correct way to go about this?
    Thanks for any help, tips and advice.

    As wjosted said, it's possible, but it's not recommended.
    Email does not sync with a computer. Only email account information is. Mail itself is synced with the mail server.
    Why not just sync with the computer you keep your media on and use iCloud (or whatever cloud service you want) to sync the rest? Seems simpler to me.

  • Two iphones and two macs advice

    I am looking for some advice on the best way to set up my iPhone and my wife's iPhone for syncing.
    I am currently putting all of our music cd's (several hundred) on my wife's brand new iMac (which has much more storage than my brand new MacBook Air). I have already set up my iPhone to sync to my Air and currently my wife's iPhone is not yet set up to sync anywhere. I have read quite a few of the posts here so I understand that I could have both iPhones synched to one computer but I would really prefer to sync my iPhone to my Air and my wife to sync her iPhone to her iMac (and really would also prefer that she have her own Apple account and me mine; which we do have right now; I set mine up right away after getting the Air and I just recently set up my wife's).
    All of this would not be a problem except for one item: we have a ton of music and I would rather not have to have it all in two places: on her iMac and on my Air. I may not even have enough disk space for all of it; this is why I chose my wife's iMac for the music.
    Thus: is it possible to somehow "share the music" while still keeping our iPhones, Macs and Apple accounts separate?
    I checked out the "Home iTunes sharing" and based on what I saw there, this will only work if we, once again, share an Apple account.
    Would it be possible, for example to put the music on a neutral storage device (say on an external disk) which both computers could access (for example on my home network---say an NFS exported partition) and then import the songs into iTunes on both computers?
    Any guidance to resolve this would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    IIn iMessage settings on each phone, decide which addresses/numbers you want the phone to receive (look for the send/receive item). Untick the phone number of the OTHER phone in each case.

  • Two mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. Sync apps?

    Hi there, between my wife and I, we have two Mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch.  The iPod touch is new- is it possible to get the apps that have already been purchased for the iPhone, onto the iTouch?

    but can i then only ever use both the iphone and itouch with that particular mac?
    you can use home sharing to transfer media files (incl. apps) between the two Macs. if you and your wife use separate Apple ID's to purchase content, authorize the wife's machine for yours and yours for hers.
    is there a way to make both portable devices work with both macs?
    by design, iOS devices sync with only one library at a time.
    i am hoping the "home sharing" feature will be the answer but so far i have not been able to make it work.

  • How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC

    How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC. My wife and i each have our own iPods and iPhones but share one MAC.

    What do you mean by synchronize; music, apps, calendars, email, etc? Do you two share the same Apple ID on all devices? An Apple ID can support up to 5 computers and many iDevices.
    I hope this helps.

  • Two different iPhones and two differnt iTunes on one Mace Pro.. best parcti

    We have a 3G and a 3G3. I have a Leopard Boot drive and a SL Boot drive, both with the latest version of iTunes. I have some questions:
    1. Will 2 installs of iTunes run on the same computer each on different boot drives (either one or the other will be running but NOT at the same time...)
    2.When you run a backup of your iPhone using iTunes does it back up the phones contacts to the Address book or to somewhere else? Will a restore of the iphone backup restore the phone's contacts if address book was empty?
    I was thinking of using Leopard / address book to BU one iPhone and SL for the other as we do not want to merge contacts. Is there a way to use one iTunes to back up both iPhones yet not merge all contacts in Adress book?

    Phone contacts will back up to the address book, but just create two contact lists for you and your wife:
    File - Create Group
    Updates made on your phone can be ticked to update to your individual contact list too. Another bonus of using one itunes account is the sharing of paid apps

    You will need to setup a new Apple ID for your sister.  You have to have an Apple ID and iDevice connected and using that account to get an iCloud account.

  • I have an iPhone and a Mac that have never been synced. Will both contact listings merger?

    I have an iPhone and a Mac that have never been synced. Both contact lists are different. If I do sync will the two listings merge, or will one be synced over the other. Is there a way to backup both devices before thevsync so I don't lose any contact?

    You have to download the iPhone version of the app - if there are two different versions and if you do not want to pay for the iPad version.
    Look in the App Store for the iPhone version and then try to download that one,

  • Connection between iPhone and desktop Mac

    OK so just how connected are iPhones and desktop Macs now? I ask because I just deleted mail from my iPhone and it [seemed] as if the same mail was deleted from my iMac. And this was not mail using my iCloud addy.

    Yes that is what I observed.
    There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.

  • In my family we have 3IPhones 4S, one IPhone5, one IPad3, one IPadMini and two IPad 4. Is it possible to use the same energieadapter for all of those ?

    In my family we have 3IPhones 4S, one IPhone5, one IPad3, one IPadMini and two IPad 4. Is it possible to use the same energieadapter for all of those ?

    Yes but the iPhone chargers will struggle to charge the iPads ,they need more power than the iPhone chargers produce and with an iPad will charge VERY slowly
    The iPad chargers whether 10w or 12 will happily charge all your devices and Apple confirms the compatibility on the relevant web page.

  • Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Not sure exactly what you are going for...
    You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
    BTW...  apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
    It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks!
