Sync iTunes between 2 macs, iPhone and iPad

Hi,
I had 1 macbook, iPhone and iPad. I had synched my iTunes with all these devices. Recently i bought one more mac book and i would like to synch my iTunes with the new macbook. When i connect my iPhone or iPad to the new macbook my iTunes are not getting synched.
I had the home sharing option turned on and now I am able to view the iTunes library in my new macbook only when i have the iTunes turned on in my old macbook. If i close the iTunes in my old macbook, iTunes in the new macbook is not able to access the songs.
Without having my old macbook turned on, is there a way that i can synch my iTunes with the new macbook.
Basically i would like to keep my iTunes synched between 2 macs, iPhone and iPad.
Old Macbook Pro - 13 inch - OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10
iPhone - 5S - iOS 8.1
iPad Air Mini - Version 8.1
Old Macbook Pro - 15 inch - OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10
Thanks
Srinraj

I've done this manually. Someone may have an AppleScript, who knows?
Turn on File Sharing on both computers (really only needed on the machine with the songs). I presume you have a network connecting the two computers, AirPort?
From Finder on the MPB, select Network (make sure "Connected Servers" is selected in Finder Preference / General). Attach to the source computer's HD so you can see the folder containing the iTunes music.
Launch iTunes on your MPB.
Make sure "Preferences / Advanced / Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" is CHECKED.
Select "Add to Library" in iTunes on the MPB, navigate to the mounted folder from the source, and select the albums or songs you want to bring over. I do a sort on "time" to find the newer additions to my iTunes Library.
You can multi-select, etc. using the usual Apple conventions.
iTunes will crank a while, and copy the files from your server to your MPB.
Good luck!

Hello all, I have a firtst gen iPad (running iOS5.1.1). I using my Apple ID to run iMessege on it. Recently, I bought iPhone 5 (2 month ago) running iOS 6.1.3. I sing up to iMessage using Apple ID but start new converstion from my phone number as caller ID. Somehow only 1 conversion syncs between my iPhone and my iPad. Recently it stop. So I start looking for answers. I want to sync my all converstions, I found that I can set phone number as Caller ID on an iPad but I can't found how. I will apreciate if anyone will put some light on how iMessage works.
I still want that my caller ID will be my phone number cause I don't want to make 2 separte thread on the one who get my message.
If I set my email as caller ID so when I'll send a text message from my phone it will make a seperate thread converstion from me on the device of the person I send the text to.

Syncing music between macbook, iphone and iPad via iCloud

Question: I downloaded an album to my Macbook. I thought since I use icloud that it would be available on my iphone and ipad, but it isn't. How do I get it on those devices? Thanks.

You will need to enable automatic downloads on the iPad and iPhone in order for the songs to be automatically be available
Settings App
iTunes & App Stores
This only works for purchases made once this is enabled.
For previous purchases launch the iTunes app on the iPad or iPhone and select more and then purchased to download.

How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

Sharing iTunes between an iPhone and iPad is causing me grief

I have an iPhone 3Gs and an iPad 3G. Whenever I sync either of them, iTunes dumps all of my iPad apps onto my iPhone and vise versa. So I have to manually go and delete all the iPhone apps from my iPad and my iPad apps from my iPhone.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Shouldn't iTunes know to keep the two devices and their apps separate?
Much thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if this it the best way, but once you hook up either your iphone or your ipod to itunes there is a tab called Apps under the device where you can manually check which apps you want to synch to that particular device. (uncheck the ones you don't want on that device.) Do the same on the other device and it should stay that way next time you hook up each device. You can do this after the initial automatic synch.

Mail not syncing - different between Mac, iPhone and Cloud

Thought I had moved to the Cloud, but having major issues having all of my mail be the same in all 3 places - Macbook, iPhone and Cloud website. Things I have sent from my Mac do not even show being on there, and certainly not in phone, but are on Cloud. What is the best way to check that I have this set up correctly, so I can have access to mail where ever I go, for you know, work stuff.
Mac is running Lion 10.7.2, and iPhone is updated to OS5.
Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately from one point of view, I have only had one issue with iCloud which related to corrupt iWork documents, so I'm not able to draw on personal experience at solving issues like yours, I'm just drawing on other users experiences here. Out of interest did you create a brand new iCloud account or migrate from a mm account.

How can I sync my Itunes between my iphone and ipad with the cloud?

How can I sync my Iphone 4 and my Ipad 2 using the Cloud?

Make sure they are both using iOS 5 or higher, then go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create the account and turn on the data you want to sync with iCloud.

Syncing Mail between Mac Book and iPad

Not possible to sync both inboxes. E-mails open on one device do not appear as such on the other. Appropriate buttons in the i-cloud preference menu are "ON", but no impact on mail. Calendar and contacts syn ok, notes do not.
Tip? Solution? Thanks

POP will download it to your computer and typically removes it from the server after download.
IMAP pulls from the cloud and by putting both Macs on IMAP they will all stay in sync.
The Mail application can handle any number of POP and IMAP accounts as you'd like. Obviously, you cannot have one account as both POP and IMAP at the same time on the same Mac.

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

I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no synced,

I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

A razmee209 said, set up your email in settings on both devices.
iPhone email will always be up to date.
The iPad will update when it has internet connection. If it is a wifi only iPad, it will only update when connected to wifi, but will do so automatically.
