Sync a phone with 2 Macs (having the same name)

Hi,
The question is on the title:
is there a problem to use 2 Macs HAVING THE SAME NAME (I.E. my name) with a single phone ?
I hope a clearly asked my question (my frenchy english is sometimes clumsy).
Where can I find a omplete documentation of iSync.
Thank you all

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The short answer is yes, this approach is problematic and can result in severe data corruption on not only your mobile handset, but on both computers. The name of each computer is immaterial: iSync is not intended to support the use of a device as a 'data storage' go-between to equalize the contents of contact, calendaring and tasks records on two or more Macintosh desktop or portable computers.
Instead, you should synchronize multiple Macintosh computers using:
• .Mac Sync with a .Mac account
• MySync from MildMannered Industries (technology acquired by Mark/Space)
• the not-yet released SyncTogether from Mark/Space
More information about these options is available here:

When I synced my phone with my mac, the music that I had in my phone got transferred to my mac. 140 songs to be exact, however I can no longer see the songs on my phone, only the purchased album I have appears. How can I get the songs I had back?

Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

Can I sync my phone with two Macs?

Howdy,
I have a Mac at home and a Mac at work, both of which I keep sync'd with .Mac. I have a bluetooth adaptor on the Mac at home which I use to sync with my Sony Ericsson T637. If I put a bluetooth adaptor on the Mac at work, can I sync my phone with either Mac interchangeably? That is, if I sync my phone with my home Mac, then come to work and sync it with my work Mac, will iSync do the right thing? Will it realize that all the data is the same and not try to duplicate everything, even though it's syncing with a different computer?

It's not a good idea, because the complexity of such synchronization events. While ideally you should be able to attach your other devices to any workstation and synchronize at any time - if each workstation is, in fact, kept up-to-date through .Mac - in reality, such data exchanges are not reliable.
You are best advised to avoid any action which complicates an already relatively complex, limited and - at times - unstable and unreliable - technology. The best approach is to pick one workstation as a sort of 'synchronization server' to which all other devices are attached, either through USB, Bluetooth or, in the case of .Mac, wireless or terrestrial ethernet.

Only if you have a backup of them.

Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone. Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue. We can only hear every other word.

Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone? Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue. We can only hear every other word of the person we are talking to. This happens at home, on the road and in the downtown area while calling both cellphones and landlines. It is intermittent, so we don't know exactly when it will reoccur. Absolutely no problem with data. The data speed is great.

Then you can restore from that backup with the new iPhone.

Creating a Mat View having the same name with that of the table name

Hi everyone,
After dropping the mat view name "QQ.TRDLN_DIM_MV", I'm trying to re-create it by having the same name as that of the table but I got an error stating that "name is already used by an existing object". How can create a mat view to look like the object owned by schema "GQ", having a name that is the same as that of the table name, without dropping the table?

You'd have to rename the table (using ALTER TABLE tablename RENAME TO othername; ) before you create the MV.
You can't have both existing with the same name in the same schema.
What you see in the GQ schema is that the "table" is the underlying table for the Materialized View.
When you do a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MY_MV AS ...
Oracle creates two objects with the same name, one being the Materialized View MY_MV and the other being the table MY_MV which is the physical storage. {Remember that a Materialized View is a means of getting a physical representation of a View}.
In the QQ schema what you have is either
a. a real Table
or
b. an improperly dropped MV, resulting in the underlying Table still present.

If I sync my iPhone with another iTunes of the same Apple ID but none of the songs etc, will it wipe my phone?

Hi, my computer died before I could back up any of the songs, tv shows etc from iTunes. However, I do have iTunes from the same Apple ID on other computers, but the don't have anything on them. If I put a new album onto the iTunes on the other computer and then synced my phone with it, will it wipe everything and the only thing that would be left is the album? Or would the album just be added to everything already on there and my phone would not anything?

If you sync to another computer the iPhone will be erased and the content replaced with the selected content of the new computer.
You don't maintain a regular backup copy of your computer?
You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPhone to a computer from iTunes. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

When i sync my phone with itunes some of the songs always have the sync symbol next to them and are lighter than the others and i dont know how to get rid of them. help please

when i have synced my phone with itunes there are old songs that i dont want. these songs always have the sync sign next to them but i dont know how to get rid of them, i have event deleted them from my library, my computer and hidden them on i cloud. help please

Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences. But you only need to change a setting in one location.

Since last update, cursor has a mind of its own and friends with Firefox are having the same problem.

About three weeks ago I dowsnloaded an update from you. Since then, whenever I type in MSWORD or in my Yahoo email account, the dursor jumps all over. In the beginning I did not have any idea what could be wrong. At a meeting the other evening, I mentioned the problem I was having and learned that several other people were having the same problem. The only thing that all the computers had in common was the Firefox down load. While typing this the cursor has jumped 14 times.

Sometimes it is such as when I am working on emails. Other times it is not as when I am working with my word processor. Also, for your information I am running a Dell laptop INSPIRON 1521 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

Issues with Lion, anyone having the same ones?

I'm having several of issues with Lion (mostly with Safari).   Wondering if anyone else has these problems. I'm hoping/assuming these will be bugs that Apple will fix with a software update?   Or if therres any fix for them?
1.   Zoom while in Safari, the 2 finger pinch and zoom feature stops working after a while usually. I used to like the zoom in snow leopard where on a webpage it would zoom you in while keeping the page contents within the screen. You can still accomplish this by doing the command + shortcut. But I really liked the touchpad feature. I don't mind the way the zoom works on safari (zooming in wihtout keeping the page in the screen).   But my problem is it stops working after a certain amount of time.
2. Safari freezing up.   Yes, my safari is freezing and I'm needing to force quit every now and then.   Never really had that problem with snow leopard.
3. Swiping to go to my desktop.   When I try to 4 finger swipe to get to my desktop or something (going to the left always), My launchpad keeps coming up. Thats HORRIBLY annoying.   I have to go to my icons and manually turn launchpad off.    This might be my most annoying problem.
4. Getting mission control up with the four fingers swiping up usually takes 2 or 3 swipes,   and also when I'm in mission control and I want to go to something on my desktop (if I have 2 or 3 things open while having mail and safari on full screen), it takes 2 or 3 clicks to select whatever I want to go to.
Overall I really DO like lion. Just don't like those glitches Ive seen so far.   Anyone having the same problems?

Yes! I see the same! Extremely annoying. And as long as the pinch-zoom works, it's very unstable, and sometimes seems to freeze Safari with a "fuzzy" picture. It doesn't really freeze it, though, I can still use otheropen tabs, and usually a double-tap zoom "wakes" the "frozen tab".

I just bought a second mac, should/can both macs have the same "name"?????

Hi, I just bought a second mac and need to know what I should do regarding the "naming" of the new one. Should the name be different.....or just the "short' name? Will the files I migrate over not open if it's not the same name as my first mac? when it comes to the new "mobileme", shouldn't my macs have different names in order for it to 'sync' properly? I'm very confused over the entire issue....

It shouldn't. After migrating files from the old computer to the new one, repair disk permissions. If you're using Mac OS X 10.5.4 or 10.5.3, you might get permission errors, but you don't need to worry about them unless you're having problems running a particular application. I consistently get a "cups" error with 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 but it doesn't affect the computer's performance. It seems to be a bug in the operating system.
