Sync just podcasts across two computers

I have a new netbook. My desktop has iTunes. I have a lot of podcasts on there and I listen to them often through my iPod and sometimes through the desktop. All is well with syncing, I just delete listened to podcasts here and there on the pc and it keeps my ipod up to date.
The netbook I've been using around the house and really like listening to a few podcasts while I do work (or while I should be working on something but am reading something here or on CNN instead). After I listen to a podcast sometimes I'll pull up the same podcast on my ipod the next day.. Somewhat annoying and hard to keep track of when I have 30 something different podcasts, some don't have descriptive titles for each episode, and some update quite often.
Is there a way I could just sync the podcasts? I don't care about the music, I have my ipod and I'd listen to the music on there if I was to be on the laptop and wanted to hear music. It'd be great to listen to a podcast, delete it, and have it update that it was deleted on the desktop and therefore the ipod (or any combination of the three). It really seems like something that should be standard, people now have multiple machines that overlap in capabilities.. I listen or watch one podcast on the netbook while other days I might plug my ipod into the car and listen to the same show and the next I might just open itunes on the desktop and listen to it there while cleaning or something.
I don't want to update the ipod with both libraries, I just want the podcasts to all be working together
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

As indicated above, the solution is to use SyncTogether from Mark/Space.
You should never attempt to use a Palm device as a data 'carrier' to synchronize data, as severe record corruption will result.
The synchronization framework, including clients like the Address Book, iCal, iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit, as well as replacements for it like the Missing Sync for Palm OS and supplemental sync-aware applications like Entourage, Transmit and Yojimbo are not intended to support such procedures. You need to use a dedicated tool like SyncTogether or .Mac Sync to achieve what you want.

  • Technical question:  Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

    Technical question:
    Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
    Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
    I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
    I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

    I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers.  I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
    Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

  • Is it possible to Have a Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet?

    Is it possible to Have a Elements 12 Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet?  I have a laptop I use in the Field when I take pictures and a Desktop at my house that I use to Edit the Photos.  I would like the Catalog Synced across both computers.  IE I download pictures from the Camera onto the laptop and they automatically sync over to the desktop then when I edit the pictures on the Desktop they go back to the laptop.
    Is this possible?
    What would I need to have it work?

    You could put the pictures in the field on your laptop
    Send them to Dropbox from your laptop
    At home, when you are on the desktop, access the pictures from Dropbox and put them in a folder of choice
    Enhance the pictures in PSE, then send them to a destination folder, to preclude overwriting the orginals
    Populate the organizer from the destination folder
    This requires that you install Dropbox (free, with quite a bit of storage) on both machines. I have the app on my ipad as well, and it synchs perfectly (no catalog, however).
    One advantage to this type of work-flow would be that you can get rid of the non-keepers and save the pictures that you fixed at home, prior to any organizer machinations. The old axiom: It's a virtue to be selective.

  • Syncing podcasts on two computers

    Is there anyway to sync podcasts on two computers without download them twice? I have an iMac, a Macbook, and an iPhone. I'd like to be able to download recent podcasts to either computer and have them show up on both computers so I don't have to worry about which computer I sync my iPhone with. I have 'Home Sharing' turned on, but it doesn't seem to help.
    Sorry for the convoluted question. I hope it makes sense.

    If they are purchased songs and both computers are the same i.e. both Mac or both PC, then you should be able to hook up the iPod to one, turn off auto sync and manually manage music. Add the purchased songs to the iPod and next time you hook the iPod up to the first computer it will ask if you want to transfer purchased music not on that computer. Do that, then you can turn auto sync back on without losing everything.
    Another way to go is to make a CD/DVD back up of your purchases and then use that to transfer everything to one computer. You might want to do this anyway so there is less a chance of losing all your purchases.

  • How Can I Combine Podcasts from Two Computers Into One ?

    I download podcasts on two computers - my home PC and my work/travel laptop. My IPod syncs to my home PC. What I would like to be able to do is transfer all the podcasts I have downloaded from my laptop to my home PC (as my internet speed at home isn't great), then sync it all to my IPod. Is this possible ?

    Well it works.....sometimes. It works OK with audio podcasts, but not with *.mov video podcasts. It DOES work with *.M4V video podcasts. I found this out by trying to add all the Tiki Bar TV files, and only the Boomerang episode transferred OK.
    The strange thing is this - while the *.MOV vpodcasts don't show up in the Podcast window in ITunes, they DO transfer over and show up in Library>Genre 'Podcasts'>. How can I force them to appear in the Podcasts window ?
    Cheers

  • Problems sharing across two computers on home lan

    I must be doing something basic wrong. The instructions for sharing a downloaded digital edtion sound very easy in the help manual but following those directions I am not able to share a book across two computers on my home lan.
    Both computers have been authorized by my user id. When I open the menu item on Library menu/Authorize computer
    I'm told the computer is authorized and my UID is shown. However when I attempt to `add' the book I get a message saying:
    > This document cannot be opened on this machine.
    > Please contact the site where you obtained the document
    > to download another copy.
    I just bought the book today not more than 2 hrs ago
    The `knowledgbase' help for digital editions is completely useless and returns no hits regardless of what I type in the search field.
    What else do I need to do to share a book across two home computers?

    Harry
    You shouldn't need anything else. The common problems (after you have gotten past the authorization) for sharing are:
    - You copy over the .etd file instead of the .pdf file.
    - You copy over the .pdf file from /Digital Editions/ebx_backup instead of /Digital Editions. (My best guess, given the error message).
    - The file was purchased with only rights to view it on a single machine.
    The not so common and more worrisome case would be if the License was not being correctly written into the file after you purchase it.
    I would suggest that after verifying you are copying the correct file, you should open up a web support case, so that Bentley can track this, and help us gather all the correct information so we can figure out what is going on.
    Sorry you're having problems

  • Synchronize Mail Across Two Computers

    Hey everyone!
    I have two iMacs running 10.5.7 with Apple Mail set to download email from my own domain with a POP server. I have a gigabytes of locally stored mail that I would like to have synchronized to another, iMac also running 10.5.7. I don't have the option of IMAP, but even if I did, the gigabytes of saved mail would go over my quota.
    I tried using Live Mesh, but it does not support files in the /library directories, and MobileMe does not support IMAP/POP accounts.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    there is no good way to keep POP mail synced across two computers. one time syncing is possible by exporting a mail archive and moving it to another computer but it's not something you want to do on a regular basis. the best i can suggest is to check the option in mail preferences->accounts->advanced to keep messages on the server after retrieval. this way you can download them to both computers.

  • When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

    Hi!
    Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
    You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

  • Syncing iPhoto library on two computers

    My wife wants to have access to her VERY LARGE iPhoto '08 library on two computers - the desktop (her preferred) and the laptop (when the boys are doing homework on the desktop).
    Rather than try to share the same library (i.e., networked drive), I set up the two to sync the library. Using +Folders Synchronizer 3.6.2+ (which is able to read and sync the package contents), I have the two libraries syncing so there is a duplicate of her library on both computers (also provides a bit of a backup).
    The sync seems to be working well - EXCEPT the changes are not showing up in the iPhoto viewer. In other words...
    ...she added pictures to iPhoto on the desktop and then synced the laptop.
    ...Looking inside the iPhoto library (show package contents...) on the laptop and the new pictures were copied to the laptop.
    ...HOWEVER, when she opens iPhoto on the laptop they don't show up in the window.
    I'm sure I'm missing something brainless. I thought it might be that the library needed to be updated but can't figure out how?
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Danktuft:
    If you have an external HD connected to the Mac then it's a very easy thing to do. See Apple's KB document on iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users. Trying to get a library in the Shared folder to accept two different users is difficult. There is a site describing how to do that using Access Control Lists in Tiger: Share an iPhoto Library in Tiger Using ACL's. It may not work if you upgrade to Leopard at a later date. By far the easiest way is the external HD method.
    Happy New Year
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Syncing Contacts/Calendars with two computers?

    Hi,
    I'm using my iPod touch more as a PDA than iPod and want to be able to sync my Contacts and Calendars with both my home Mac and work Mac. Right now I have it sort of working; at home I have it set to sync everything (Music, Movies, Photos, Info, etc.). On my work computer I have it just set to sync "Info".
    The problem is that every time I plug it into the "other" computer, the Sync checkboxes for Contacts and Calendars are turned off. So I have to click them 'on' and hit "Merge" to merge the data.
    That isn't a show-stopper, because it does work, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make those settings 'sticky' so I don't have to keep reselecting Sync. It's just more of a nuisance than anything...
    Thanks!

    I guess this raises more questions for me. I tried synching contacts and calendars from the two computers, but with iTunes set for syncing different groups on each computer. That did not work - whichever groups were on the iPod from one computer disappeared and were replaced when I synced to the second computer.
    The text you referred to implies (to me) that I can change or add contacts/events and they will be tracked on all 3 devices, but all 3 devices have to be syncing to all contacts and groups. Is this correct?
    Thanks again
    If you originally chose to replace the contacts on the iPhone with contacts from the computer, the contacts will not be merged on the following syncs. You can reset the sync history on the computer before syncing, and then choose merge. This would make the contacts and calendars look the same on both devices.
    If you want to have the same information on all three devices(or more), it would be better to setup an Exchange or MobileMe account.

  • Sync up BB to two computers

    I know I can sync up my 8120 with the contacts and calendar on two different computers running Outlook, I do it all the time.  I have it set up so that the BB "wins" in the event of a discrepancy, so you would think the contacts and calendar would be identical on both computers.  They aren't.  And I have duplicates cropping up.
    Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong ?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    JSANDERS had the right idea, just the wrong two.
    We think your calendar/addressbook database in the BB is corrupt.
    If you have one Outlook calendar that is correct/or the best copy:
    1) Follow Jsanders procedure to clear the calendar /addressbook on the BB.
    2) Sync one way from the correct Outlook to the device.
    3) The device has the correct calendar/addressbook.
    4) Sync one way from BB to the second copy of Outlook.
    5) All calendars/addressbooks are in sync.

  • Syncing a project between two computers

    I just got a new MacBook which I use when I travel every week. I have a project that I started at home on my 24" iMac. When I'm at home I would like to continue using the iMac because of the big screen. However I would still like to work on the project when I have time on the road.
    So the question is "Is is possible to copy / sync a whole project with clips between two computers and be able to go back and forth between the computers?" I realize I might have to copy the whole file.
    Better yet is there a way to keep the project on an external drive and use iMovie on each computer to open up and work on the project.
    Thanks,
    Alan

    Yes this is possible.
    First, make sure your external drive is formatted as MacOS (journalled) or HFS+ (journalled)
    Go into iMovie and from the Project list, drag your project to the External Drive by dragging the project name to the icon for the external drive in the project list in iMovie.
    Now select File/Consolidate Media and choose Move (not copy). Everything will be consolidated to the external drive where the project is. You can open it on another Mac.
    See the iMovie Help for further details.

  • Synchronize iTunes Library Across Two Computers

    I have separate iTunes music libraries on my work and home computers. I would like to keep them synchronized, such that if I add a song, or change the rating/playcount/etc on one computer it is reflected on the other.
    I currently use an external HD and a 3rd party sync program (Synchronize X Pro) to keep my work files synchronized between the two computers. I'm wondering if I just include the music folder in the synchronization if that will work.
    Many thanks.

    I have been synchronizing iTunes between two computers by duplicating the following three files/folders from the "source" computer over to the "target" computer:
    iTunes Library (file)
    iTunes Music Library.xml (file)
    iTunes Music (folder)
    However, you lastly need to check (with a text editor) the
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    file because about 5 or 10 lines into it, it has the following line (it's all on one line):
    <key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/Users/Username/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/</string>
    If this string does not properly describe the location of the iTunes Music folder (the folder that holds all the music files), you must edit it so that it does. (If both computers store the iTunes stuff in the Apple default location, no changes will be needed.)
    With this exception, my manual "synchronization" has worked well and all tags, ratings, playlists, counts etc. have been preserved.

  • Can I Sync My iPod on Two Computers?

    I have two computers (Windows) with my account. My main one has a USB issue, so I upgraded to iOS5 on the other. Is there still a way to wirelessly sync to my main computer? My iPod is looking for the secondary computer and thus is not seeing my main one. Thanks!

    Is there at least a way to change which computer it syncs with without a USB cable. I figured with iOS 5 and iCloud I could sync to my laptop wirelessly, but I guess it doesn't work if the music I have isn't from iTunes. (Most of mine is, so that's good, but not all.)
