Syncing iphone with both home Mac and work PC

My office uses Outlook 2003. How do I regularly sync my office calendar/contacts with my iPhone? I have a Mac at home so would prefer not to change my iTunes platform to Windows, and would like to merge the Mac and Outlook databases.

Yeah, I have very specific requirements-- I hope someone can experiment and come up with a solid walk-through before I consider one.
Work PC: tasks and calendar items from Outlook
Home Mac: contacts and calendar
The tricky thing with syncing multiple computers appears to be dupes, on the second sync, after syncing to a different machine in my experience. Overwriting is sketchy, though I'd probably risk overwriting my home computer (because I can always get it back with .Mac... hello Apple, cough .Mac syncing OTA...).

  • Syncing iPhone with Two Computers: Mac and PC

    I have a Macbook running 10.7.1 at home and a PC at work running Windows 7 and Outlook 2010.  I sync my iPhone (music, photos, contacts, calendars, photos) with my Macbook at home. I have set up MobileMe syncing on my MacBook and iPhone.
    If I install iTunes on my work PC, set up MobileMe syncing with Outlook, etc., can I then connect my iPhone to my work PC without problems?  Or, upon syncing my iPhone with my work PC, will everything be erased?
    I am trying to sync calendars and contacts through MobileMe to my iPhone while continuing to sync all of my music, apps, etc. to my Macbook at home.
    Thanks

    Let me try to explain.  I want my sync my work calendar and contacts from my work PC to my iPhone while maintaining everything else (music, apps, pictures, etc.) on my MacBook.
    Can I sync my work PC Outlook calendar and contacts through the air using MobileMe and connect my iPhone only to my MacBook?
    Thanks.

  • Can I use my iPod with BOTH a Mac and PC???

    Might be an odd question and forgive me if it is an obvious answer. I just got a 30 gigger and connnected it up and charged it with my Mac mini at home last night. I have lots of music on my iTunes on my home Mac mini and I have some music on my work Dell Laptop(with iTunes). What would be the best way to sync up my two iTunes libraries (one on my Mac, the other on the Dell lapper) to the iPod, or is it even possible to use it interchangeably with both the Mac and PC??

    Yes, you can.
    Read through the following article, and make sure your iPod is Windows-formatted using the iPod Updater utility on Windows.

  • How to synchronize iPhone with iTunes in Mac and BootCamp.

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro and recently I purchased an iPhone. For work reasons I use windows as well as Mac OS ( I prefeer MacOS by in my company we develop windows software...)
    The problem is that I synchronized my iPhone with iTunes in Windows and I want to use my iPhone with Mac iTunes too.
    I think a possible solution is to use the same library in the two OS, and I don't know if it is possible.
    In Mac OS I don't have write access to BootCamp's NTFS file-system partition, so I use a Windows software to full acces to Mac OS partition. For me the solution would be to place windows iTunes library files in MacOS partition and use these files with MacOS iTunes as library too, but I don't know if it's possible.
    If anyone have any other idea how to solve this problem...
    Thanks,
    Raul

    All your contacts, photos, music etc. should be on your computer, so you just sync the second iPhone to the same computer as the first iPhone.

  • Can I use my Nike+ with 2 Different Computers: my home mac and work PC?

    I use my Nike+ with my Nano on my home iMac and track my runs on Nike+.com. Works great. However, I travel for work and will be back on the road next week with my work PC. I don't have itunes loaded on my work PC (not allowed - its not "corporate" software).
    So, will my Nike+ and Nano store a week's worth of workouts till I can get home and connect to my home iMac? Is it possible to somehow upload to Nike+.com from my windows PC without loading iTunes?
    I want to track all of my workouts, even when I travel.
    Thanks for your help!!

    I have the same question. On a regular basis I use my Nike+ with my desktop. However, I travel quite often and run while out of town, and would like to also use my laptop to send my run info to Nike+. I have looked on the Nike+ website and also found no answers. I do not want to sync my music on my laptop to my Nano, only the run info.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Can't sync iPhone with iTunes on Mac book pro.

    I have a iPhone 4 that I just now updated to version 5.1.  I have a Macbook Pro running Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    When I connect my phone to the computer w the USB cable, nothing happens.  iTunes does not "see" the phone.
    I also have wifi and when I try to sync using this, I get a message on the phone "Sync will resume when"Macintosh.local" is available."
    I have done a sync before with no problem using the cable.  I have restarted both the phone and the computer.  What am I doing wrong now?

    I have tried all the suggestions on the support site Mr. Finch suggested.  I have removed iTunes and after the third try, have downloaded and reinstalled iTurns.  Still no sync.  I have rebooted the router, computer, iPhone and still no sync.
    It worked fine a month ago. Yesterday the sync worked fine on my other macbook pro to sync File Maker Pro.
    Any suggestions?

  • Using Time Capsule with Both a Mac and Windows PC

    All ... is it possible to backup both Mac and Windows computers to the same Time Capsule?  My current networked devices include:
    1 Windows 7 desktop (wireless/ethernet capable)
    1 MacBook Air (wirelessly connected to home network)
    1 New iPad (wirelessly connected to home network)
    2 iPhone 4S (wirelessly connected to home network)
    1 Airport Extreme (currently hardwired to my Windows 7 desktop)
    Thoughts/comments on leveraging the Time Capsule as purely a backup storage solution for all the devices listed above?  Is it possible?  Please advise.  Thanks!

    I use a backup software to save backups to the TC from windows... it is no big issue.. but the TC should never get any where near close to full.. TM takes a lot of space to work efficiently.. so make sure there is still more than enough space.. since TM will do hourly incremental backups it can grow rather quickly if you do lots of big file edits on the Mac.
    Hanging a USB hard disk off a windows desktop is a better solution in lots of way.. it can be formatted native windows NTFS.. and is faster than TC without adding to network bandwidth.
    But the TC is great for wireless with windows laptop same as Apple side.

  • Can I sync phone with both my laptop and desktop?

    When I travel, I like to download podcasts and I'd like to be able to sync them to my phone. Is this possible?

    The iPhone will only sync with ONE iTunes library at a time. If you synch your phone with your desktop and then sync it with your laptop when you travel, all songs, podcasts, videos, etc., will be erased and replaced with those in the iTunes library on your laptop.

  • Sync iPhone with 2 different Macs?

    How can I effectively sync the contacts and calendars with Mac Book Pro and my Mac Pro desktop with my iPhone and still keep the iTunes content from my desktop? Every time I attempt to sync with Mac Book Pro it wants to replace the iTunes content.

    Syncing music, video, photos and podcasts can only sync from one computer.
    If you try to sync these items with a second computer, you get the message about erasing the content on your iphone.
    However, syncing contacts and calendars can be from multiple computers.
    If you decide to sync contacts and calendars with a second computer, make sure contacts and or calendars are the only things checked. If any music, video, photos or podcasts are checked, you will get the erase error message.
    When you sync contacts and/or calendars with another computer itunes will try to merge the data.
    So, if you do this often, you end up with the same data on each computer.
    Hope this helps.

    You cannot.

  • How do I sync music from both my mac and pc?

    Okay...here is my problem.
    When I bought the first ipod all the music went on my pc. I then bought a second ipod and, using the same account, bought other music on my imac.
    Now I can either put the music on my ipod from the pc, or the mac, but not from both. When I try and sync the two, 30 of the songs say they won't transfer.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    Maybe you should switch from auto sync to manually manage music. Then you can click and drag the items/playlists from either computer to the iPod when it's connected.

  • Syncing iPhone with power pc mac

    My iMac logic board went out when I bought my new iphone4. Can I sync
    With an old G4 with power pc?

    Mac system requirements
    * Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    * Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    * iTunes Store account
    * Internet access
    You'll need to get a retail copy of Leopard(no longer sold by Apple), if you don't have one. Ebay would be a good place to look.

  • Sharing external hard drive with all home macs and pc's

    I'd like to connect my go flex desk hard drive to my BT home hub 4 and access it through my macbook pro, is this possible and how can I do this myself?

    You need to format the external drive to a format that can be used by Windows, OSx, and your BT home hub (what ever that is). So I think your best bet would be to format it FAT32 or ExFat since Windows and OSx can read/write to a hard drive formatted as FAT32 or ExFat. Read your BT home hub documentation to determine how to connect a hard drive to it. Most likely it will have a usb port if hard drives can be connected to it.

  • Syncing iPhone with one Mac but not another

    I have a home Mac and a work Mac.
    I want the iPhone 3GS to sync with my home Mac, and it does so perfectly.
    Sometimes I'm at work and I need to charge the phone, so I plug it into the work Mac, and it launches iTunes and attempts to sync with it (which, if I let it continue, would erase all my loaded stuff). I always stop it manually.
    I see the option in iTunes checked for "Always sync the iPhone to this Mac" (or something like that). If I uncheck it, it fixes this, but next time I go home, the iPhone doesn't sync with the home phone because this option unchecks itself at home too!
    So how do I make sure it syncs to the home Mac, but does not erase itself when plugged into the work Mac?

    From the user guide, page 16, http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    You may want to prevent iPhone from syncing automatically when you connect iPhone to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.
    1. Turn off automatic syncing for iPhone: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected.” You can always sync by clicking the Sync button.
    2. Prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods: In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Devices, and select “Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods. If this checkbox is selected, iPhone won’t sync automatically, even if “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” is selected in the Summary pane.
    3. Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar."
    I use option 3 without any problems.
