Sync itune between two different mac

I have been using a powerbook pro for the past 3 years and built up my own itune library during the time. Now that I have got the new imac, is there anyway that I can sync the songs between the two macs that I have?

I looked into using it, tried it and it didn't do anything but waste my time. I would NOT recommend this utility! After selecting and unselecting amongst the jumble of song, podcasts, movies, tv shows mixed up by title, author or other random titles, I told it to Copy and after a wait for the progress bar to complete it finished and I found the only thing it did was create a SynchoTunes folder inside my destination iTunes folder. Nothing was copied.

Is it possible to sync calendars between two different users?

Hi
Installing the drive into the older machine may work, you WILL get a lot of driver errors and the unit may even fail to boot. The other problem is that the drives may not be compatable, the drive in the broken PC is a SATA drive, older PCs had IDE drives with very different connectors.
Your best option is to do as you suggest and obtain a USB caddy and extract the data that way.
Make sure that the caddy you get will support SATA drives (all new ones will).

Syncing iTunes between two macs, possible?

Hi,
A feature I really miss is the possibility to sync my iTunes music between two computers.
For instance, If I buy one song on Mac1 it syncs with Mac2, with just a few mouseclicks or so.
Right now it can be quite chaotic to keep track of both libraries, and would be nice with a program or a feature that can update the libraries easy, not matter if i'm deleting songs, adding, changing location, and so on.
Is this possible some how?
Thanks in advance

There are a few utilities specifically designed to help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync
syncOtunes

Sync itunes between two pcs with ethernet

Is it possible to sync my ITunes library between two Win7 PCs with an ethernet cable ? I use this method to sync my files (share everything on my laptop, then use SyncBackSE). I would be good if I could do this as it would avoid a lot of podcast duplicate downloading.
Thanks

C'mon guys, I'm talking about two PCs both authorized on the same Apple ID, not a separate unauthorized PC.

Syncing iCal on two different Macs

I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac and would love to sync my calendars but don't know how. Can someone help me? And no, I don't have access to iDisk, i.e., MobileMe.
Appreciatively,
Ron

DropBox is fairly straight-forward, see here: [http://mac-curious.com/2009/08/sync-ical-using-dropbox/|http://mac-curious.com /2009/08/sync-ical-using-dropbox>
In practice, that only syncs desktops and doesn't help with your phone. It's also a little dangerous if you have multiple computers opening and modifying the files in Dropbox at the same time (as far as I know, iCal isn't designed to recognize when the files are being changed by another program while it's running).
A better idea is to use Google Calendar. In that scenario, your reference calendar is Google, and everything syncs with it. You need to first make an account on calendar.google.com. After you've made the account, you can create multiple calendars, share them with others, and access calendars they share with you.
Follow these instructions here for adding your Google calendars to iCal: [http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358#ical|h ttp://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358#ical]
They work just like local calendars, but the data is copied to/from the Google servers.
Your iPhone also has built-in CalDAV support for connecting to Google calendar. On the phone, go to the Setting application and click on Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Click on Add Account... then "Other". Click on Add CalDAV Account and provide your Google calendar info (server is "www.google.com", username is your e-mail address, password is your Google account password).
If you use Google calendar, you can have several calendars in iCal / on your iPhone. When you modify a calendar, the client changes the local copy and the copy on the server at the same time (and those changes propagate to everyone with access to that calendar, including everyone you've shared a calendar with).
For what it's worth, you can do basically the same thing with Google and Address Book. I haven't set that up yet, but I'm considering it.

Sync itunes between two computers

Hey all, I have had a laptop for a while with my itunes library on it. I recently bought a small desktop to keep connected to my home theatre, as it's a pain to keep connecting my laptop all the time, especially when I take my laptop with me everywhere.
Here's what I would like to accomplish: I want all my music on my laptop to also be on the desktop, and I would like an easy way to sync the two when I add new music to my laptop. I would highly prefer to be able to keep the play count, starts, etc synced as well.
Now, I know I can just copy the Music folder from one computer to the other, but this won't sync anything after that, unless I do it every time I add new music. I have googled and found the Home Share feature, which also allows you to import music from one computer to another. But my question is, when I add new music, will this sync automatically? Or will I have to manually import again? And if I do have to manually import again, will it have to import everything? Or will it just transfer the new files? I don't want to bog down my home network every time I want to sync.
I should also say, I would like to stay away from any external programs if possible. Unless there is one that makes this extremely easier.
And also, I do not have an ipod/iphone. I have read that's the easiest way to do this, but I don't have any of those.
Running Windows 7 on both computers.

See the user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy. It does suggest a free additional tool, and it isn't automatic, but it is fast compared to manually copying the entire library from one machine to another. It would also give you the opportunity to spot if something goes missing which a completely automatic system might not.

Sync paragraphs between two different .fm

Hello
I need to duplicate a .book, included .fm.
In the duplicated files, title and index are different, but the content will include many text and images from the original. Only a few paragraphs changes.
Is there any way to copy as a reference these texts and images for prevent errors or not to duplicate future changes.
Thanks
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english.
Raúl

After doing some test, I think there is a better way to do this whithout duplicating files. Any.
Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
My files:
-Product.book
     -Product_Title.fm
     -Product_Index.fm
     -Product_Content.fm
I need to create Product A and Product B, they are not exactly the same, but only changes the engine. Some tables, images and texts will change.
I didn't understand you so well, maybe what I'm going to say could be the same.
My conclusion is that I'm going to create only ONE Product.book, only ONE Product_Title.fm, only ONE Product_Index.fm and only ONE Product_Content.fm.
To create PDF files, as same for MIF, I'll only need to show/hide conditional text of .fm files from .book file. By this way is how I can create ProductA.pdf and ProductB.pdf from only ONE .book file.
Am I wrong? Is there other easier way?
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english.

I would like the share an iTunes library between two different accounts on one Mac. How do I do this?

iTunes no longer works properly (aka at all) while using one of the user accounts set up on my iMac. It does, however, work when logging in under another user account on the same iMac. (if any of you can help me solve this issue that would be perfect). If there is no solution can anyone help with my request to share an iTunes library between two different accounts on one Mac. How do I do this?

that works for anything he purchases after he creates the new account. What about his current music that currently resides in my itunes library? How can I get his current music out of my library into his new account/library?? Thanks..
Copy it to his computer into his iTunes library and authorize his computer with the iTunes account used to purchase them..
You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.
iTunes account - used to purchase items
iTunes library - where purchases (and CD RIPs) go on the computer

Syncing two iphoto libraries on two different macs

Hey
Can't seem to find an answer to this one so here goes. I am trying to sync my iphoto libraries that I have on two different macs of mine. One a mac pro and one a macbook. Both are running 10.5.7 and iphoto 8 with all the updates. I have sharing on enabled on both macs and in iphoto. I can do a manual drag and drop but I have 1000's of photos and that would take way to long to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

When I sync iTunes between my iPhone 4 and my PC, does it also download my iPhone browser history to my PC? My PC is not a Mac and doesn't have Safari. Thanks!

When I sync iTunes between my iPhone 4 and my PC, does it also download my iPhone browser history to my PC? My PC is not a Mac and doesn't have Safari. Thanks!

I'm not sure but I think as browser history is just a series of URL links they would work with any browser. I found this info
Symptoms
When syncing iPhone or iPod touch bookmarks between Safari and Internet Explorer in Microsoft Windows, the Favorites bar in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 may not refresh to reflect changes or updates to the bookmarks.
For example, if you sync Safari bookmarks to your device and then make changes to the bookmarks on the device (such as deleting some bookmarks, editing the web address, re-arranging the order of the bookmarks), when you then sync those bookmarks to Internet Explorer, the changes will not be reflected in the Favorites bar for Internet Explorer.
Resolution
To refresh the Favorites bar, quit and reopen Internet Explorer.
Seems to indicate they work with internet Explorer
