Syncing iphone on more than one computer (not at same time!)

I am travelling and had to replace my iphone. 
The laptop I am travelling with has the same itunes account (and thus library) as my main computer at home.
Instead of manually downloading the purchased music I have in the icloud (which is not the complete library), am I able to sync my iphone to my laptop now, and then later resync it to my main computer when I return home?

Sorry if this is a noob question.
I have iTunes on my desktop. I want to install iTunes on my laptop.
If I install it on my laptop and then plug in the iPhone will the phone sync everything in it to my laptop?
No. The iPhone doesn't "sync" back iTunes library content (music, videos, podcasts) to your computer.
Can I than use either the desktop or the laptop for syncing?
You can, however, keep in mind that the iPhone only syncs with ONE iTunes library at a time. So if you have music from your laptop on your iPhone, when you sync with your desktop, those songs will be erased and replaced with what's on your desktop.
If you plan to do a lot of syncing between the 2 computers, you should copy your iTunes library from your desktop to your laptop so that the libraries are the same.
Thanks.

  • Syncing iphone using more than one computer

    Does anyone know how to get iphone to sync to more than one computer? I activated my wife's iphone from my computer (after having logged into her itunes account) but when I try to sync from her computer (logged into her account) nothing happens.

    You can, but you can only sync one type of information with each computer. Here are the instructions I followed to sync my two computers. Hope they help.
    How to Sync with Two Computers
    You can sync your iPhone with only ONE media library. However, it is possible to sync the media library with one computer (like your home computer), and the contacts/calendar information with another computer (like your work computer). I have this working on two PCs with Windows XP. I have read posts of folks doing it with two Macs, and with one Mac and one PC.
    This is not sanctioned by Apple, so I dont know if these steps are "correct". I only know that these are the steps I followed and worked for me. Your mileage may vary.
    1. Select "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones" under Edit / Preferences / iPhone in the iTunes menu.
    2. Uncheck "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" in the Summary tab of iTunes.
    3. Check "Only sync checked items" in the same tab.
    4. On the computer you want to sync contacts and calendar, check the corresponding boxes in the Info tab. UNCHECK everything else in the MUSIC, PHOTOS, PODCASTS and VIDEO tabs.
    5. Sync your iPhone with this computer FIRST.
    6. On your other computer, follow the same steps above (1, 2 and 3). Then, UNCHECK everything in the INFO tab, and check everything else on the other tabs.
    7. When you sync with this second computer, you may get a message that the iPhone has already been synced with another computer, and that the media library will be deleted. Fine. There should be NO media library on the iPhone since you unchecked all the media items on the first computer, right?
    8. Sync. Then you can sync on both computers and each will sync what is checked and not overwrite the rest.

  • Can I use Creative Cloud for students on more than one computer at the same time?

    I get different info when I read about how I could use creative cloud.
    Somewhere it say I can install and activate on two computers but only run the applications on one computer at the time.
    On antother place I read that I can use the applications on two computers at the same time.
    So what is correct?
    Can I install and activa Creative Cloud for students on my PC and my Mac and also run the applications on both computers at the same time?

    I already gave you the info you seek, but you don't seem to want to accept it.  Here it is in writing from Adobe's EULA (find it at: General-terms)
    "4.1 Subscription-Based Software License.
    If we provide the Software to you as part of your subscription to use the Services, then subject to your compliance with these terms, we grant you a non-exclusive license to install and use the Software: (a) in the Territory, (b) so long as your subscription is valid, and (c) consistent with these terms and related documentation accompanying the Software. “Territory” means worldwide, but excludes any U.S. embargoed countries and countries where you are prohibited from using the Software or the Services. You may activate the Software on up to 2 devices (or virtual machines) at a time, if these activations are associated with the same Adobe ID for the same individual, unless stated at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation. However, you may not use the Software on these devices simultaneously."
    You appear to want to believe that because you think you have a way of getting around the agreement without being caught it would be okay to do.  You are bound to the agreement if you purchase the subscription.  Do you understand what intentionally (and with fore-knowledge) failing to honor a contract constitutes?

  • More than one reports at the same time?

    Hello
    Is there any way that i can call more than one reports at the same time through the .FMX file. At the moment i can call only one report, if i need to call another report then i have to close the 1st report, then it will show me the 2nd report.

  • Add Suppporting Details for more than one periods at the same time for the same Account in Planning.

    As we know, in planning form, we can add supporting details to one cell for the level 0 members intersections.
    But can we do that as below:
    add supporting details for more than one cells at the same time?
    I tried to do that in workspace and smartview, neither is working.(my workspace version 11.1.2.2.300.20)
    I wonder if i am not with the right version, because i don't know how to get the below.
    Can any one explain?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I have tried in Smartview for a simple form where my period dimension was in columns and accounts in rows.
    You need to select multiple period and select supporting details, it will show those selected period for which you can add the supporting details.
    You can add these details and then submit the data in the form.

  • Drill down more than one characteristic at the same time.

    Hi,
    Is there any way to drill down more than one characteristic at the same time?
    When I drill down by 0cust_sales I would like to have drilled down: division/distrchan/salesorg/cust_sales without having to do that one by one.
    thank you!

    Hi,
    This cannot be done unless these characterstics are related to each other in some way as Charactertics & Display Attributes.
    The reason being when you drill down the 0cust_sales , there is no link from 0Cust_sales to the other characterstics hence there is no prompt for these characterstics to be drilled down.
    However, a smiliar thing might be acheived by adding these chareacterstics into the 0cust_sales in teh query designer by dragging n dropping them over 0cust_sales. you can try this and see if this is close to your requiremetn.
    Kind Regards,

  • HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

    Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

    I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
    There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
    So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
    union all
    select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

  • How to assign a iview to more than one page at a same time

    Hi Experts,
    I have created 40 pages. I have to assign ivews to these pages. One of the iviews is common to all the pages. Going to each page and assigning the iview to that page will take alot of time. Is there a way in which i can add an iview to more than one page at the same time?
    Thanks in advance,
    Prisford Pereira.

    Hi
    You can do that using XML Content and Actions.
    You can write XML in specified format and upload it to portal, that will automatically create the content for you in PCD. You can create iviews, pages, assign iviews to pages etc.
    More details are available at the how to guide.
