Syncing Two devices to one iTunes Podcast Library

I use iTunes on my MacBook as the central hub for subscribing to and managing my podcasts, then selectively sync different podcasts to two different devices. Now, with iOS7 on one of those devices, I can't play the podcasts through Music anymore, and have had to start using the awful Podcasts app on that device. Things were not syncing properly, and when I unsubscribed something on that device, it also unsubscribed the podcast on my MacBook. All I want is for the device to contain the same podcasts as my MacBook, not try to download podcasts on its own, not say things are unplayable if there are more than five episodes backed up, not to play podcasts in the wrong order as a result of these weird backlog issue, and change nothing in iTunes when it syncs. Actually what I really want is for it to work through Music again so I can delete this pointless app that just blew away a good chunk of the podcasts on my MacBook because I was trying to get rid of podcasts from the phone that were not checked in the "Only sync episodes of selected podcasts" screen in iTunes.

Sync multiple devices with one iTunes library without apps

Hi,
I've got multiple iOS devices in the house (not all are mine).
Each person has his own iTunes account with their app purchases, while we share the same iTunes music library under one account on the Mac.
What I want to do is to sync the music on all the devices but NOT sync the apps and NOT keep them on the Mac.
I want that every device has his own set of apps but they are not copied on the Mac. May I just disable syncing of apps and delete them from the Mac?
What happens if I want to restore my device? I should have the apps data in the backup right? But how can I restore the apps themselves? (if the answer is possibile only with iOS 5 and iCloud is fine, because all our devices are going to be updated to iOS 5 and I can wait until its release)
Thanks for your help!

Your iTunes collection is individual to computer, not in the cloud somewhere and synchronizing to your computer from there. In other words, if you delete a file on one computer it will still be on the others until you delete it from there. Likewise, if it is on one computer that is not a guarantee it will be on other computers. The closest to this is some of the automated downloading Apple does if you buy things from them. You will just need to make sure your desktop is really up to date before wiping your media from the other computers.

Syncing multiple devices to one Itunes Library.

I have an IPod Touch and I Phone 4, I am trying to sync my Ipod Music with my library. I get a message saying the Ipod is synced with another library. Do I want to erase this Ipod and sync with this Itunes Library. I just want to transfer the music. But my only options are to "erase and sync" or cancel.

Syncing two devices to same iTunes account

Is it possible to sync two iPods to the same iTunes account? I have had a iPod Classic and just got a Shuffle and would like to use the same account for both devices.

yes, but be careful because it has only one music library (i had) and all music from one ipod was automatically synchronized to another ipod

Can i have two devices sharing one itunes account

i currently have my iphone synced with my itunes account, i have just bought a ipod and want it to share the same itunes account, library etc, how do i do this without wiping it off my phone when ading the new ipod ??

This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

Can i sync two iPhones to one iTunes?

As of above my wife has had an iPhone for just over a month now and is looking to update to IOS 5 as I have. My question is whether when I plug her iPhone in and run the update will all her data be lost and get wiped by my data? We both have different apps, contacts etc and it would be a nightmere for her if this happened. Many thanks, Jack

When you connected his iphone did you click File>Transfer Purchases?
This would transfer any ituens purchases from iphone to computer.
You can sync as many iphones as you like to one computer/account/library.

Can i use two devices with one itunes account?

I share a laptop with my husband. We have had "sync" issues in the past with his contacts and my contacts intermingling on our separate iPhones. Can I create two different iTunes accounts for us to sync independently? What should I do about this? With the advent of iCloud, we're both going to be autosyncing...right???

How to sync multiple devices to one iTunes account

Just have a question here,
I have an iPod nano, my sister bought her iPod touch a few years back and we've had them on the same iTunes. She has her apps on there and they don't sync to my iPod obviously because i have the nano. This has been working fine. However, my father wants to sync to my iTunes because he wants some of my music and some of my sister's apps, but not all of them. Is there a way that I can create a "playlist" for him to have only his music and apps sync to his iPod? I haven't created an iCloud myself because it would be of no use to me. But, can I set one up for my father using my iTunes and have only some of the certain music and apps on there?
Sorry if this is a bit confusing but I would really appreciate some help!
Thank you.

Connect the iOS device, select it from the left column under "devices" and just don't check those items in iTunes:
Un-check the appropriate boxes for Contacts, etc. You can set these individual preferences for each iPhone and iPod Touch.

Syncing two iPhones with one iTunes account, archive and install

I had a blue screen and had to archive and install.
I re-synched my iPhone and at that time put my iPhone contacts in my address book with
my group name, that I just created. I created a group for her and now want to re-synch her iPhone
with my computer and with my iTunes account, like before. I get a message that the info on that her iPhone is synched with another user account. A choice to merge info from this user account or replace info from this user account. I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under
her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.

I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.
You should select the Merge option. If you don't, the existing contact information in the Address Book on your Mac will replace all contact info in her iPhone's address book.

Can I sync 2 iPhones to one itunes account but have seperate yahoo contacts

We have 2 iPhones and want to be able to share the same itunes account which doesn't seem to be a problem. However we can't seem to have separate yahoo contacts synced with the two separate phones. It wants to keep putting my wife's contacts on my phone or vice a versa. Now our Yahoo contacts are all mucked up. Any help would be appreciated. I can't believe we can't do this.

You can sync many devices to one itunes account. I, for instance, have two ipods and an iphone on one account. They all have different setting and contents, but still only sync to one itunes account.
Yes you and your wife can use one itunes account.
