Syncing both home and work computers with iPhone
Is it possible to sync my home iCal with my iPhone and my work iCal with iPhone, so all events appear on my iPhone, but not have my work events merged to home and home events merged to my iCal at work? I want to keep the two desktop calendars separate, but have them combined on the iPhone. Is this possible? (I suspect not until the iPhone calendar has multiple calendars as iCal does) Thanks -- Rick
Hey Rick,
This is not possible, when you sync the iPhone to a computer for the first time iTunes will ask if you want to Merge, replace on computer, or replace on iPhone. You may want to Merge and choose the option to put events created on the iPhone on another calendar on iCal, that you will delete later.
You can always backup iCal before you start, by going to File> Back up iCal.
You can also leave feedback and request features added to the iPhone online here:

Is there a way to access purchased music on both home and work computers?
I've finally started using the iTunes music store after years of avoiding it and I've purchased and downloaded a bunch of songs on my home computer. Today I installed iTunes on my work computer and was about to buy some new songs when I discovered that purchased music can apparantly only be downloaded to one computer. What gives? I thought it could be shared with up to five computers!?! If anyone has a solution, please let me know -- i'm sure a lot of people have run into this problem...
Windows 2000I discovered that purchased music can apparantly only be downloaded to one computer.
Correct
I thought it could be shared with up to five computers!?!
Also correct. If you want the tracks on another computer, you need to copy them there. See:
iTunes: How to copy music between authorized computers
And if you happen to also own an iPod:

Seems like Yahoo is the new Firefox default browser.
Then why not get rid of the Google search box if it's not going to work?

How do i have CC on home and work computer with same account?
How do i have CC on home and work computer with same account?
Hi Markofm,
You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to De-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
If you regularly need to use the Creative Cloud on more than two computers then it would be best to purchase an additional subscription. This is the same licensing between which we have for our perpetual product. An advantage though for Creative Cloud over the perpetual product is that you can install on Mac and Windows with the same subscription!
Thanks & Regards,

Send Email to both (home) and (work)
I would like to send to my contact list in Address book both their (home) and (work) address in one import, and it is only allowing me to highlight one or the other.
Is it possible.
The Best,
SethSeth:
This is not something I have done, and I am just thinking out loud. It seems to me that you will need to have double entries in address book for each member in the group, one entry with the home address, and the second with the business address. Then create two separate groups with the respective entries from Address Book, home and business. Then when you type in the name of the group, the addresses in each group, home and business, should fill in.
There may be a better way to do this, and if I find a better answer, I will get back to you.

My internet connection seems to cut out and nothing loads to even a no internet connection page. This happens at home and work so its not the providers problem and every other device connected to the wifi is working. I realise some programs run with internet but programs such as preview and others close immediately after opening with on explanation
I've also tried resetting permissions and clearing DNS, seemed to be successful for a shortwhile but the problem persistsHi stephenxmartin,
To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac is unexpectedly dropping its Wi-Fi connection, please follow the section in the article below "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."

Displaying events as both Home and Work categories?
Is there a way to have a calendar event display as both a "Home" and "work" category?
Thanks.Mark,
The only way that I know of is to click on the event and use iCal>Edit>Duplicate, and then change the owning calendar in the "Edit" bubble.
;~) -
I just upgraded both machines, and don't understand why one is different than the other.
It worked! I had to restore defaults, and then add my customizations again, but that did the trick!
Thank you so much! It has been aggravating me for some time now... I will use this "Ask a question" feature much sooner next time! :) -
ITunes on Home and Work Computers
I'm ripping all of my cd's onto my home Mac. I want to copy the same music onto my Mac at work. I want to keep the play counts, ratings, and everything the same on both computers. Can I just simply copy both library files onto a small portable drive and paste them into the iTunes folder overwriting the library files on my work computer and vice versa to keep everything in sync? Will this cause problems? These two Macs are not networked and I don't have a .Mac account.
*You're saying to carry all of the music (the whole iTunes folder) on the small external hd and transport it back and forth pointing each iTunes to it to play the music?*
Yes, you could do it this way.
Here's a 250GB, external FireWire drive for $99. -> CompUSA - AcomData E5 250GB Hard Drive 7200RPM, External, 8MB Cache, Firewire 400
Will this keep up with all the play counts, etc.?
You would be using the exact same iTunes library file on both computers, so yes, it would be the same on both. -
Select between home and work addresses for Autofill
I've searched and browsed for this and I think I know the answer but I want to check before I submit a feature request to Apple and give up for now:
Can we choose between home and work addresses on our contact card when we have Safari perform autofills?
I think the answer is no, that only the first address listed in our contact card is used.
It would be most useful to be able to select the address used. Many of us have our contacts synced now between home and work computers and some of us are allowed to do occassional home business on work computers, or use our home computers for work.
I experimented with an alternative. I set up two contacts for myself, a home contact and a work contact. They both use my name. I find that in the Contacts app I can select which card is "my card", and that will be used by autofill. But I have to open Contacts to switch "my card" to use that for autofill. It would be more useful if Safari would simply provide a way to switch between home and work contact info on the fly, or at least switch between cards.
Am I missing anything?Thanks, fruhulda. I do have both my work and home address on my card in
Address Book, and I agree that I should be able to choose which to use to fill in fields on a fax form. My question is how do I do that. I want to send a fax; I want it to feature my home information, but it's the work information that's automatically filling in. How do I change that? -
Desktop manager and Home and Work email
Hi folks,
I have Desktop Manager installed on both my home and work computers. At home, email is grayed out and I can do nothing as it says I do not have a connection to the server.
At work, it is active, but only addresses my work email from the Exchange Server and not my personal email which is set up through Blackberry and works on my phone. But sometimes I like to change the signature, etc.
Is there no way to get both on one or both instances of Desktop Manager to avaiod having to go to att.blackberry.com for personal email configuration?
Thanks!
~BobBut your personal email is NOT on BES... those are two totally different animals.
ON BIS the Desktop Manager has nothing to do with mail and messages.

my iphone 4 is stuck on the reboot logo, ive ried holding both home and power to shut it off snd then keep holding home to let you plug it into itunes but it doesnt work. what do i do?
Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to get my husband an iPhone. Are we able to sync all devices and share info with both iPhones and the iPad, using a single email address?
Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

Sync Calendars like "Calendar", "Home", and "Work" with Google Calendar
When I go into the iCal program on my mac, I have three calendars that I assume iCloud/iCal creates automatically for you. The ones that are showing up for me include: "Calendar", "Home", and "Work". All of these three calendars are under the iCloud subheading. Under the Gmail subheading, I have my google calendar. I would like to be able to sync these three iCloud calendars with my google calendar, as when I create a new event in iCal, it does not show up in Google Calendar. How can I make this happen? Also, when I create an event from Google Calendar, it shows up on iCal and all of my iOS devices, however, it does not show up in iCloud.com's calendar. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

You can't. That's not how it works.
In the iCal app, indiviudal calendars exist either locally on you Mac or in the "cloud" on a server like iCloud, Google, Yahoo!, Exchange etc.
Logging on to your iCloud account at icloud.com will only gain you access to your iCloud calendars much as logging on your Google Calendars account will only gain you access to your Google calendars.
