Syncing the ipad2 to different computers?

Can two users sync the ipad to different computers?

iPads are single user devices. Although you can sync an iPad to two different computers if you know what you are doing, you must be sure both computers have all the same data or syncing may result in loss of content on the iPad.

    iDevices sync with one iTunes library at a time.

  • Syncing contacts between 2 different computers while keeping both independent of each other?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if there is a way to have my calendars and contacts from 2 different computers running Mountain Lion sync to my iPad retina while keeping the 2 computers from merging the calendars and contacts? I do have a separate apple ID set up on each computer, and each computer does connect to iCloud.
    The reason is one is my work machine, the other my personal home machine. The home machine keeps my wife and me connected by sharing the contacts and calendars which has been working well. I don't want to clutter up that by mixing in calendars and contacts from my work computer and don't want my wife to have access to them either.
    The only way I can figure to have both reside on my iPad while keeping them independant of each other is to physically connect my iPad to my work machine and not have the contacts in iCloud. That way when I transfer them to the iPad via iTunes, it will be under the category On My Mac rather than iCloud contacts.
    The only problem with that is then I'm always having to connect and sync my iPad to my work machine.
    Is there a better way to do this?

    Sorry, you lost me right there. Where exactly did you try to put an asterix????
    Which example program are you trying to use?
    Typically, you would enter the IP address of the server in the client program.

  • Will the new iCloud feature sync Aperture libraries between different computers?

    If there was a Cloud section in the forums i would post this there but there isn't so here it is. Syncing my Aperture libraries between my laptop and imac is a big problem for me right now. Does anyone know if the new Cloud air synching feature coming this fall will sync photos between aperture libraries on multiple computers?

    There is now an iCloud community iCloud
    But I believe the answer to this question is no, iCloud is not meant to do this type of syncing.

  • Does FIrefox Sync sync the extensions' settings between computers? I mean the individual settings and customizations of different extensions?

    The question has all the details necessary.

    No, sync only synchronizes prefs that are white-listed via a special services.sync.prefs.sync. pref that you can inspect or create via the <b>about:config</b> page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    If you want to sync additional prefs then you can create a corresponding sync pref yourself and set the value to true.
    * services.sync.prefs.sync.*
    There are services.sync.prefs prefs related to set which prefs to sync and you can set the corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync.xxx pref to false to prevent syncing a pref.

  • Syncing itunes with 2 different computers

    I wanted to sync my itunes to my computer at school and put all of my ipod music on to it. Instead it deleted everything on my ipod. How do I take what is on my ipod and get it into itunes on a new computer???

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you have to change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

    Hey Mike2793,
    Thanks for the question, I believe the following article has the answer you are looking for:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
    iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.

  • How do you sync an iPhone to two different computers?

    I just got my iPhone and was adding music to it, but I have my music on two different computers, both of which I have songs I want to add to my iPhone. I was just wondering if there is a way to sync music from two different computers without having to transfer all my music to one computer?

    iTunes includes a backup to disc feature with an option to backup content purchased from the iTunes Music Store only or all iTunes content - burned to CD.
    You can do this and then transfer your backed up iTunes data to the other computer.
    The iPhone was not designed nor intended to be a backup device or a transfer device of iTunes content from one computer to another as Ansuz82 provided to prevent music piracy.
    It is always the few that would abuse such a feature if available that spoils it for the majority that wouldn't.

  • Can someone help me get my IPOD Touch 3g started? It will only flash the Apple logo off and on. Has been through restore multiple times on different computers, and still will not start.

    I have tried restoring the ipod on different computers, one Vista, and one 7. On both, the restore process seems to complete just as it should, until the point where it says "your IPOD will now restart and will appear in listed devices. This IPOD never restarts. The Apple logo just stays on for approximately 30 seconds and then the screen turns off for five or ten seconds and the logo comes back on, over and over for approximately forty five minutes or so, Occasionally the "connect to USB" will come back on, but that is rare. When that does happen, the I-Tunes recognizes it again as an IPOD that needs to complete the restore process. VERRRRRY AGGRAVATING!!!

    Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It appears you have a hardware problem.
