Sync with more than one computer

Is it possible to sync with more than one computer using the same Blackberry Curve 8310? I have a work pc and a laptop and I am using MS Outlook. I've tried syncing to both but the appointments all duplicate themselves. Is there a way to set it up so I can sync to both.

Hello Keithj,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums
You can synchronize with multiple computers but there are a few considerations to take into account when doing so.
Check out the following KB article for more information:

Apple won't let me sync with more than one computer

How crazy is it that Apple will not let you sync with more than one computer! I have three computers! One in the kitchen one in my room and one at my parents house. These are all my computers, but if I try to sync my iphone5! with my computer at my parents house itunes says it will erase all my data! I have legally purchased all my music, so I have bought the rights! which means I can have the same songs on mutiply computers.
I've seen posts like this before, so I know Im not the only one who knows that this is unexceptable! Apple knows too! So heres how we gonna do this, **** itunes and **** apple, they can suck it! I'm sick of Apple and how they try to control everything you do, with their limited youtube video capacity because they "dont allow flash".
All Apple care about is taking your money, otherwise they would listen to what their customers are saying. These posts are on an apple site after all.
Thats my opinion, vote this up if you feel the same way.
Thanks

I understand what you mean. If you would have a little more technical background to what is happening when you sync and iOS device, you would understand that the reason for syncing with only one computer is not to control you but is rather to manage the syncing.
For exemple, how would you manage to backup a device on multiple computer while some songs or apps are on your iOS device but not on the computer? Copying them back to the computer would only result in what you don't want, keeping different iTunes library on different computer.
The very best solutions for you is either;
Make one of your iTunes library the master with ALL your media files and use this one for syncing your device. You can easily manage all your music using automated playlist (like one for all the music with an older date you would decide).
Pay for iTunes match and ALL your song (even those you haven't bought from iTunes) to be available in the cloud for you to stream directly to your iPhone. This however have a monthly fee.
I agree that on one thing Apple is controlling; it's by not allowing you to extract songs from an iPod. Giving home sharing now, that would solely restrict you from illegally copying music to others. But again, you must understand that this limitation isn't to be powerfreak, it have been required to secure the music industries and make iTunes Store possible in the first place.
And make shure you active Home Sharing as it will give you full access (stream and copy over wi-fi from any computer and iOS devices) in between your iTunes libraries.

Syncing with more than one computer?

Does anyone know if it is possible to sync the iPhone with more than one computer? With the PDA that I used to use I would sync with my secretary's computer also so that we could both update my calendar and conatacts.

You can sync (info - not music/movies) with multiple Macs - not sure about PCs...

Can't seem to sync with more than one computer???

I loaded I-tunes on my laptop and then tried to load on my desktop computer with no luck. Can you only sync through one computer or am I missing something?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you just need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos". You can't sync from more than one library.

Apps syncing with more than one computer

I have read that the apps can be synced with 2 computers. I have 2 homes; each with a desktop computer. If I attempt to sync my Iphone 3GS with the 2nd computer, I get a message that says it will wipe out all the apps on my phone and replace them with the apps in the 2nd computer's library. There are none on the 2nd computer. So, if I sync, all the apps on my phone will be deleted. I do not understand how to sync the apps with 2 computers. They are on different networks (one house in Maryland; another in Florida). Can this be done?

I had a similar problem and the only solution is to keep the iTunes folder on both computers synced - and since your 2 computers are not at the same location - this would mean carrying your iTunes library around on an external hard drive, which I know is not ideal and depending on the size of your library - maybe not possible. In my case, my iTunes library is way too big to keep synced on 2 computers (a MacPro with 8TB of HD space and a Macbook Pro with 250GB of HD dive space).
So the best I can do is transfer whatever iTunes content I want to have on my iphone from my MacPro to my MBP and then if I have to sync my iPhone with my MBP I know that the iTunes content will be the same - even if it is overwritten.
I have mentioned this is these forums before - but it seems strange that Apple can't figure out a way to allow any device to store/play iTunes content that is purchased from the same iTunes store account - be it your phone - laptop or desktop computer. And content that is not from the store - iTunes shouldn't have an issue with.

I want to sync with more than one computer without deleting my content...

I want to sync my ipod with my other laptop but it keeps telling me that i can only be synced with one itunes library at a time. what do i need to do to get the music without deleting all my content?

An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. However, one can manae music and videos on multiple computers see:

Can the iPhone sync with more than one computer?

Hello, I have a Intel mac book pro and a G4 mac pro. I authorized the iphone on my mac book pro and want to use it with my G4 tower I get a OxE000004 error when I try to sync with itunes to down load my podcasts at work on my G4.

That's interesting. I wonder why it works for me? I was very surprised when it did, I must say. But here's a possiblity: the computer where I sync the videos is my wife's (wanted to get her demo reel and commercials and they weren't on my computer) and she has NO music on her computer. The computer where I sync my music is MY computer, and I DO have videos set to sync to my iPod and a bunch of music, and the computer where I sync my contacts, calendar and email accounts is at work where I don't have any music or videos.
I just sat down at work here and synced my calendar and I still have only 100MB of free space. Last night, I left it plugged into my computer, and I still see the videos that I synced from my wife's computer on it.

Syncing I pod with more than one computer

I want to sync my I Pod on a laptop but we also have it installed on a desktop. When we try to sync with the laptop, I Tunes says that the i pod is already synced with another computer and wants us to deleate that computer. Can I tunes be synced to more than one computer and if so, how do you do that.

What you'll want to do is manually manage the iPod, in order to put content onto it from multiple computers.

Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

Syncing with more than one comptuer.

Went to her computer and from her library clicked import chose shared network
and selected the files to put into her Itunes,and it actually worked
Hope somewhat helpful till someone who really knows what their doing comes along.

Can my iPhone 4 be synced to more than one computer?

I don't have access to the original computer that my iPhone 4 was synced too. I have a new iPhone 4s due to a contract upgrade, and want to transfer the information from my old phone to my new. However, when my boyfriend has tried to synch it with his computer, by choosing the backing up option in iTunes nothing actually happens. I really don't want to lose the information on my old phone. What can I do please?

The short answer is no. You can't sync to more than one computer at a time.
The longer answer is contained in one of the many many threads about this exact same subject that are already posted in these forums.

Can I use iPod with more than one computer?

I have a 60gb iPod w/ color (4th Gen). On my laptop which is my home computer I also have all my music as well as on my iPod. I would like to know if I can put all my music on a second or even third computer so that I can access the music. Also, my girlfriend has a iPod nano. Would she be able to access my music if I put the music on her computer?

Can you sync Ipad with more than one computer?

I am just curious, can I associate my Ipad with more than 1 computer. I have a desktop and a laptop both with itunes and same library. Can I sync the Ipad on both computers without it totally erasing the Ipad or should I only sync it on one computer?
Than kyou in advance for the help.

In theory - If the libraries are identical, yes it should work. Keeping the libraries identical might become a little challenging. You may want to make sure that you always manually transfer purchases whenever you sync to each computer to make sure that all content is always being transferred into each iTunes library and I would think that you would want to backup each time you sync as well. And you might want to sync with the one computer right after you sync with the other computer so that all of your data remains intact in the backups of both computers.
You can always check by giving it a try and see of you get the "this iPad have been synced to a different computer" message and see what happens. If the message pops up, just cancel and don't sync.
However, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you absolutely have to for some reason.
