Sync to PC and iMac?

I currently sync my iPhone 3G to my PC for all music. As I'm starting to use the phone / contacts more and more I think I need to be able to sync it to preferably one of my Macs (iMac or Macbook). I don't currently use either for contact management so I'm fairly open to suggestions. Is it possible to sync the iPhone to two machines? PC for music, Mac for contacts?

Yes you can sync contacts to one machine and music to another.
I would advise turing of automatic syncing on both machines.
Select the info. in the tabs that you want synced in each machine.

Under the summary tab in iTunes make sure you have Automatically Back Up This computer. If you have iCloud selected it won't back up when syncing.

Notes not syncing between iPhone and iMac

Syncing notes from my iphone to imac no longer works. I have all the right things checked in info (in itunes) and in my mail. I have talked to the experts at Apple support, and taken the iphone and imac into the apple store. After trying lost of stuff (iSync, other settings, etc, new admin a account), it worked. Once. It worked at the store, but no longer works at home. I can get the notes to sync if I sign out of my admin account and sign back in, but I don't like doing that every time. I don't know why it worked just fine for awhile and then quit. Maybe after the last update. Is it something to do with my POP account - comcast? Does anyone have the same problem? An answer?

I have a MacBook (OS X 10.9.3) an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) and an IMAP account (mail and notes boxes are checked on MacBook). On my iPhone the default account for Notes is set on IMAP. I am syncing via iTunes 11.2.1. It works for Calendar and Contacts but it does not sync Notes. I guess a made an error somewhere.
Could someone hep me? Thank you by advance.

HT1386 After last syncing between iPad3 and iMac, many books I have purchased have cloud symbol and won't open. Afraid to resync as one very large book didn't sync to iMac and afraid of losing it. How do I get these books back?

1. After my last synching between iPad3 and iMac, most of my downloaded books have a cloud/arrow symbol and won't open. Most PDF files in iBook just disappeared. I am afraid to resync as a book I recently downloaded, which took up a big chunk of my 5GB download limit, doesn't appear on my computer and when I try to sync, I get the message that all my books will be replaced.
2. Is there any way to read the books downloaded to my iPad on my iMac? Can I download an Ap for that?
I am really disappointed in the interface between my iPad and iMac and the fact that I can't selectively delete items (music and photos) that I have synched to the iPad. It seems like Apple if going toward the Microsoft method of trying to do everything for you, rather than allowing the user to manually do things.

In iBooks on the iPad every book you purchased will be on the Purchased Book collection. Those books that you have purchased in the past but for some reason are not actually on your iPad are still available in the bookstore. They will have the cloud symbol on the corner. You can tap on that book to download it again. You will not be charged for doing this.

Calendar entries on my iPad do not sync with iPhone and iMac

Calendar entries made on my iPad do not show up on iPhone or iMac. However, entries my on my phone and iMac do appear on the iPad calendar. Is this normal?

Hello mgackerly
Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with syncing calendars across multiple devices. Check on your iPad to see what the default calendar is. You may want to turn off calendar syncing, keep the data, then turn it back on to start up the syncing process again.

How do i set up calendar sync between iphone and iMac?

My iphone syncs nicely between my ipad and imac, but my wife's does not and, far as I can tell, they're set up the same way. What are the basic steps so I can get her wet up - WITHOUT losing her current iphone calendar data?

Have them copy their contact to Exchange/Office365 contact. All contact at once place. Once you have all contact copied or imported to Office 365 they will be synced to Andorid or another mobile device. You can use Ms Outlook to drag and Drop the contacts.

Sync MacBook Pro and iMac

I live on my MBP 15", connect it to a 30" Cinema Display at home, and carry it with me when I travel. I'm seriously thinking about getting an iMac for home - I love how much cleaner my desk would be without a laptop and cables in front of me, but am wondering how I would keep them fully in sync. I would want the same apps and same documents (basically everything in my Home folder) on both. Is there an easy way to keep them both synced?

Drop Box and Sugar Sync are also alternatives, both of which are free. MobileMe definitely makes syncing contacts, calendars and bookmarks easier, as using the two other sync programs will require digging for where those files are located. Theoretically, you can sign up for the free MobilMe trial, use it to sync and then cancel the trial (if you don't like it).
Personally, I use it and I'm a big fan, especially as Orange indicated it's perfect for syncing. But I will say that Drop Box has proven to be a much better resource (for me) when it's comes to file/folder syncing across multiple machines and the ability to easily share files. For whatever the reason, WebDav is just painfully slow on all the networks I routinely use.

Sync my MacBook and imac

Hi,
I've got a imac G5 and a new Macbook. I was told that I could sync both machines so that itunes, iPhoto etc would hold the same information on both computers if I synchronized them regularly. I can't figure out how to do that. Also and probably more importantly I want to be able to backup important data on my MacBook to my imac. I thought Time Machine would let me do that by treating my imac as a back-up disc but it won't. Does anyone know an easy way to regularly update my macbook to my imac? Thanks
James

I use the .mac services from Apple to keep my Macbook and Mac Mini in sync. You can check it out at:

Hi,
my problems appears to be a similar one.
My contacts will not update on .Mac or on my iPod.
I've reset the date, done the process over, and now the contact list is totally deleted from the iPod, and the .Mac list still not updated.
Is there anyone out there that can help?
thanks

I've can't sync my ipad and Imac because I've registered different email addresses with each. What should I do?

Hi,
I've recently bought an Ipad2 and wanted to use Pages on it - which I bought when I got my Imac a year before. However, because I've registered different email addresses with each device, I can't get these devices to recognise that I own them both. What should I do?
Thanks,
Chris

I highly recommend having a single account. Choose one or the other and make all future purchases on that. With one account you can share apps between a certain number of devices, but with separate accounts you have to buy multiple copies of what you want.
Also, Pages for the computer and Pages for iOS are different programs.

Safari bookmarks different on iPad and iMac

I've synced my iPad and iMac numerous times but the bookmarks on my iPad are the original ones and haven't updated to those on the iMac. Any suggestions?

The exact same thing happened on my iPad over the last day or two … all of my old bookmarks disappeared and were replaced with just the set of default items (Google, Bing, iPad manual, and a couple of others). I couldn't add any new ones at that point, either. Eventually I tried killing off the Safari task in the bottom bar of background apps, and when I restarted Safari thereafter my old bookmarks were back. Definitely seems like a bug, but at least there was a workaround that helped in my case.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).
