Syncing ipone on secondary laptop while out of town

I have synced my iphone at home in Las Vegas, but have to travel quite a bit, so I take my laptop. I downloaded itunes onto it, but cannot sync my iphone while on the road. When I plug in the ipone to itunes, it does not show up on the source side at all. All it does is take my pictures from my iphone and put it into Photo Elements 6 on my laptop. what's wrong

See if any of this info helps:

Can I share the files on the time capsule for all of the macs on my network and can I access time capsule from my laptop while out of town?

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro. If I purchase a time capsule, can I use it as the central location for my files for both computers? Can I access the files on the time capsule from my macbook pro when I am out of town?

Yes, with some provisos.. it is designed as primarily a backup location for Time Machine.
Look at Pondini who has a great deal of info in his KB of all things Time Machine .. as well as Time Capsule.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Remote access is via BTMM and iCloud.. just look it up.
But the TC must be the main router in the network for it to work.

I have two apple products registered to the same apple id. I would like to use FaceTime on my iPad while out of town. I need to do FaceTime to my iMac at home (both iPad and imac are reg. to same id). It won't let me do it, help?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Using icloud, why can't i share a document created on my mac, and while out of town, access the document on my macbook pro. icloud should do this.

I create a document at home on my mac.
while out of town on a trip and using icloud and my macbook pro, I should be able to access this document.
If not, what good is icloud.

'Documents in the Cloud' enables you to manually upload iWork '09 documents (only) to the iCloud webpage: from there is will automatically be downloaded to iOS5 devices, but you cannot re-download it to your Mac oir to another Mac until it's been edited on an iOS device, so it's not really suitable for what you want, and you cannot do it at all with other types of file.
You will need a third-party solution. SugarySync would be my recommendation - it can do what you want completely seamlessly - this page examines that and some other options:

You cannot.
By Design the iPhone can Only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

My iPad Air is disabled after wrongpassword attempts.I didn't sync it with my laptop also. How can I restore it with out losing the data.

You can't unlock it without losing data. It's too late for that now. You totally erase the iPad when you unlock it and you will have to start all over again. Most of your purchased content can be downloaded again.

HT1369 While syncing between my window laptop and my iPad, the following occurs "iTune has stopped working"

While syncing between my window laptop and my iPad, the following occurs "iTune has stopped working" message came on just yesterday, 19 May 2012.
Wonder what went wrong?
can anyone offer a tip or two?
Thanks

Try this, it worked for me when nothing else did:
Perform a SoundLink® speaker reset, following these steps:
On the speaker, press and hold Mute for 10 seconds, the LEDs will flash briefly
Press Power to turn the SoundLink® speaker back on
Reconnect the device, if necessary.

I have sync linked to my main laptop. I recently wanted to merge my secondary laptop bookmarks with my main laptop bookmarks and when I linked my secondary, the stupid sync feature overrode all the bookmarks I had on the secondary! WHYYYYYY??!!!!!!!! ~ :(

Sync creates a backup before it does anything -> you can restore from the backup -> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20and%20restoring%20bookmarks

IPod sync problem on XP laptop w/external hard drive for music

I have a Dell laptop running XP Pro with a 250GB Western Digital (WD) external hard drive (hd) connected to one of my two USB ports. Whenever I attach my 30 GB classic video iPod to the other USB port simultaneously to sync it, either a.) the iPod freezes or b.) my hard drive "blanks" in windows and all of the files "disappear". The WD hd is still recognizable, but there are only folders in it, no files. Once I disconnect the WD hd and the iPod and reconnect the WD hd, the songs are still there, but now iTunes thinks some of those songs (at random as far as I can tell) no longer exist where the library thought they did.
My most pressing question is: does anyone know how I can sync my iPod so that songs residing on my WD hd are seamlessly incorporated into the sync, without the WD hd freaking out?
I don't want to have to dump files from my external to the internal hard drive and then manually add them to the iPod. Also is there a way to tell iTunes that all of the songs with exclamations do in fact have the file originally assigned to it, without going through them one by one? Thanks.

Assign a different drive letter to the iPod. You'll need to temporarily disconnect the WD while you do this, and use a much higher letter for the iPod, like M or P or Z.

IPhone will not sync when Windows Vista laptop is offline

Hi there. My iPhone 3GS syncs OK when my Laptop has a wireless connection to the internet but if it is offline, itunes will not recognise my iPhone. It shows up in 'My Computer' as a Mobile device. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes and quickTime and I have all the latest software.
When I make sure the driver is correctly linked (by following the guidance and going to C:\program file\common files\apple\mobile device support\drivers it says that the driver software is up to date but says it is for a digital still camera. Please can you help me with this as I am unable to alter my iphone content when I am away (and out of a wireless network).
Thanks, John

Apple TV Purchases won't sync to itunes on laptop

Purchased movie on Apple TV and it won't sync to itunes on Laptop.
Library is setup - done
Please help

We are struggling with the same issue. Just to be clear - this is only happening with movies which has me thinking it's a size/timeout issue. It syncs podcasts and music purchased from iTunes to ATV so I know the sync process is working. Then it says "Syncing Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (that's the movie we purchased) and it stops only after a few seconds of attempting. We have moved the ATV back to our office and connected it directly into our time capsule network source to see if load was issue with the wireless but this did not improve the situation at all. (as stated in your post - our movie is greyed out as well) I'm thinking we will end up having to delete and re-purchase (which is terrible but at least it's only one movie) on our actual computer and just never do a purchase via ATV again.
If anyone has any suggestions before we do of other things we could try - please let us know.

Vixia HF50 - "Monitor while Out" connection not established

I have the HF50, win 7 home edition laptop and linksys wrt54gs2 v1 and trying to connect with an iphone using the "monitor while out" function.
- streaming from camera to iphone works fine, while in recording mode
- when in play mode connecting to access point works, and I can find the camera in the networks of my laptop
- When in streaming mode and trying to connect with "monitor while out", I get an error message that I have to change the port settings.
- the port is set to 80, and I entered a password (into the camera)
- I ran the checking tool that is supposed to check the system capability to use the "monitor while out" function.
- 1st check says system is not properly configured, router does not support "UPnP. I checked, the router is in fact capable of UPnP and this function is enabled
- Ran the tool again and not its saying router does not allow port mapping. I think it does, because I have some ports open for the xbox. Otherwise, I don't have much of a clue....
- I opened port 80 entering the IP of my computer and the checking tool says nothing found that would prevent me from using .....
- I opened port 80 to the IP address of the camera, however the camera won't connect allays the same error.
- I played with the settings in the router, but no success.
- running the checking tool seems to give random results between router does not provide UPnP, no port mapping and no issue found.
I suspect the issue is in the router, but I don't have any idea what to try out next.
Any help is appreciated.

Yes, our psearch connections are indeed closed when an entry change triggers the DS server to write to those connections.
Now we just have to make sure there will be entry change to trigger connection clean up before our DS reaches nsslapd-maxpsearch.
Thank you.

Syncing between PC and laptop possible in creative cloud ?

Hi, I have a synced collection on my computer now, but when i try to sync it with my laptop, it says it has another catalogue synced. Is it not possible to sync between my laptop and my PC ? I think ive had it done in the past, but since my clean install on the laptop, its not working anymore and i cant figure out how to fix it. (BTW: i have it synced on the ipad as well, just wont work on the laptop for some reason)

10.3.x is not supported with the iPhone.
You need 10.4.10 per the minimum specifications provided or 10.5 which will be available this Friday.

how come when i sync my iphone5 to laptop window 7 it will shut down , but when m using ipad it will not shut down, so it means th problem is my iphone5

Hello vina8sy,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will turn off after a sync but the iPad will not. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

How do I fix this error: The iPad cannot be synced. The device has timed out?

Hello out there! Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction in fixing my little promblem? I can't seem to figure out how to get my syncing process to work properly. I've updated all my apps and I have even done the steps to configure. I've chosen to use "my iPad" back up feature and then the next step is to connect to iTunes and sync everything. It will do so and then it will say in the window box of iTunes "Finishing Sync". A minute or so later it will feature an error box presenting the statement: "The iPad, "my iPad" cannont sync. The device has timed out." Where do I go from here? Thanks to any with some good solutions. LJ

Oops! Shall I add that I have recently updated my iPad's iOS software to iOS 5.1.1 and this is when my troubles began. :-)
