Simultaneous sync with two exchange servers - will it ever be possible?

I fully understand that this is not possible at present (one has only to try to get a very clear pop-up message). I also understand that nobody can predict (or is willing to say) what is coming in future releases. My question is whether or not simultaneous syncing with two exchange servers is even theoretically possible. I don't undertstand exchange/ActiveSync well enough to even know if it's in the realm of possibility.
If not, I'll try to find another way to do what I want (Gmail for calendar and contacts and work for mail, calendar and contacts) - I am open to suggestions. If it is, I'll have to figure out how important one (or the other) is to me for now and wait for the day when I can have my cake and eat it too.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is an ActiveSync limitation, but it might be since I don't believe accessing more than one Exchange account via ActiveSync with a Windows Mobile device is supported either, and ActiveSync and Windows Mobile are Microsoft products.

I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers

I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers, it's telling me it will erase what's on my iPad and re-sync. Will I lose my iPad data that's on it?

No - not at all. Look at that one app that I gave you the link for. That is supposed to transfer all of the iPad content to the new computer. I have no idea how much it costs, but it's worth a look. There are other out there as well. Google "apps to transfer iPad content to computer" or something to that effect. These apps claim to transfer everything.
Several things to remember - you can still transfer all of the iTunesicon tent that you purchased by using the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes. Just remember to turn off auto syncing before you do it. You will also have to authorize your new computer to transfer the purchase if you haven't done so already. From the iTunes menu on your computer go to Store> Authorize this computer.
Plus any apps or music that you have bought can be downloaded again at no charge with the cloud feature in the latest iPad iOS.
EDIT - I see that you did transfer the purchases. Look at one of those apps that I described and they should be able to get you set up. You should also invest in an external hardrive for backing up all of your computer content ... don't want this to happen again!

ITunes Says My Contacts Are Being Synced With Microsoft Exchange, But I Don't Have An Exchange Account

iTunes says my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air, but I do not have an Exchange account, and I have disabled over the air syncing on both my iPhone 4, as well as in iTunes. How do I remedy this? I did a complete Restore on my phone to rectify this, but got the same results.
I have worked for a couple of hours now; at first, none of my contacts were syncing with Outlook, even though iTunes said they were. Then after checking and unchecking everything I could find relating to syncing, some of my contacts synced. Now I've managed to get them all synced, but still getting this message. I need to make sure that going forward, all changes and updates are correctly synced manually whenever I plug my phone into my computer. Any suggestions?

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

Hello,
I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts. I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
Thanks a lot!
Kind Regards,
Silvana

Not surprisingly there have been no answers to this question because the only person who knows how to use iTunes/iCloud/iPhone is too busy.

How to sync with two computers not at the same time, I'm registerd with one computer

How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />

Device not detected in iTunes for Windows

I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.

I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
In the evening I can see I have 10 unread emails on my exchange account. I leave them unread. The following day, at work, I view and read all my mails from today and yesterday, so that I have NO unread messages. When I then sync my iphone it marks only the mails from today as read but, leaves all the mails from yesterday marked unread. Only solution so far is for me to go through the mails on my iphone one at a time for them to be marked as read.
My mail account is set to sync 1 month back.
I have had this problem on all the iphones I have had.
I currently have an iPhone 5 and my software is up to date.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey kabsl,
Thanks for the post.
What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange). Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

Mail with Microsoft exchanger servers and encryption

My campus is requiring certain e-mails to be encrypted. When I am on the Windows machines using outlook, there is a simple option to do this. But most of my time I am working on my Mac, thank goodness, and I would like to know if there is a setting somewhere that permits encryption of selected e-mails in a way compatible with the exchange server?
So far tech support has not gotten back to me yet, and searches of this subforum with 'encrypt + exchange + server' just bring up posts about using Mail with an Exchange server, and no 'encrypt'.

I am new as well. I am now getting mail from exchange, but it doesn't seem to want to use exchange as the outgoing mail server.
Also is there anything else that needs to be done in order to sync with my exchange calendar and contacts?

HT4236 if i sync with ipad using pc will i lose my photos in the ipad phot library?

if i sync with ipad using pc will i lose my photos in the ipad phot library?

You won't lose photos that you've taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites - those photos aren't affected by syncing.
If they are photos that were originally synced from a computer and this isn't the same computer, then you should be prompted as to whether you want them replacing - but there is a risk that they will be removed.

If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started.

HT1386 I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous from my account???

You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

Problems with email addresses when syncing with MS-Exchange

When I sync with MS-Exchange, everything is great except for the email address. I get IMCEAEX-o=BlahMail_ou=BlahUS_cn=Recipientscn=[email protected] I tried to play with the email address in exchange, but it is always doing some auto-lookup to the person and never taking just the text.
Thanks for any help.

It seems the imceaex is Exchanges "IMC Encapsulated Address Exchange". Something for simulating X.500.
Anyone have any idea?

HT4972 has anyone had issues syncing with microsoft exchange server since upgrading to ios 5.1.1

Has anyone had issues syncing with microsoft exchange since updating to ios 5.1.1

No bug I'm using exchange at work I've updated a couple of people here and it's working.
Your IT guy can't fix this for you? This problem usually is due to the exchange server not recogonizing your account. You have the right server and domain entered?
