Two computer sync with iOS4 broken

Until iOS4, I'd sync my 3rd Gen Touch to my home Mac for everything except calendars. Then I'd let it sync to my work XP laptop for only the outlook calendar. Everything was happy and everything happened automatically.
Now, when I connect it to the least recently used computer it has lost the idea that the XP machine should sync the calendar and the Mac should sync the contacts. It does do the music/videos/books/apps/etc on the Mac. When I recheck the contacts or calendars box, I get
"The information on the iPod "....." is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPod with the information from this user account instead...." And it offers an overwrite or a merge mode.
Is there way to return the old behavior? I really only want the contacts synced at home and the calendar at work. Having to go in and check boxes to get the sync to happen is a pain.
Before I realized what was going on, I actually wiped out a few new contacts in my touch, by overwriting rather than merging.
Personally I don't see why Apple doesn't allow syncs to multiple computers (don't say MobileMe. It's not an option at work). I was able to sync two computers to my old Palm for years.

these documents might be of some help with that:

How well do two computer sync together?

I have an iMac, but I now really want a laptop too, which I''m sure I'd make great use of. I'm wondering how well I'd be able to get the two computers to sync together.
Would iTunes, in particular, sync it's library, or would I have two seperate libraries; playcounts and playlits?
Is there ways to work on a file, say Photoshop, save it on the laptop, and sync it to the iMac to continue working on it from there, etc.?
Would I be able to sync iPhoto, iCal, Safari (bookmarks) etc., and other similar programmes?
Is there ways to sync on the fly, or hit a 'sync now' button and it would wirelessly syncronise everything?
Thanks

Folder sync software may not work properly with database files, so in addition maybe consider a sync app like, (as an alternative to .Mac):

I have no experience with either, but have been thinking about trying them out to keep my two Macs in sync. Right now I just use file sharing and iTunes music sharing, but I think it would be handy to keep both updated for convenience and backup purposes. With File Sharing you can access your home directory on the other computer as a network drive, that capability is built-in to the Mac.
Are you currently using a wired or wireless network for your iMac? If it's wired, but also has wireless capability, you can use the iMac to share the wired connection over the wireless antenna with the MacBook. Also, you can share a printer between the two computers. Internet/file/printer sharing works between Macs and PCs, if you should have a house guest who brings a PC along occasionally.

TWO computer sync on Creative Zen

!I just got a replacement Zen from Crtv.
I have a work computer, and a laptop for home/travel use.
) I only want to sync what I direct manually onto the zen, that said,
CAN I use both computers to add/delete music depending on where I am, or does it have to be one or the other?
I only use this for MUSIC. nothing else.
And I use WMP to do this. Thanks

I know that getting the Zen to play them in order has to do with the id tags, so can anyone recommend a program that can handle the job?
Do the files have tags already? If not you can pull the data from the filename into the tag using a program like Tag & Rename or The Godfather (Google to find these).
Both of these should also be able to autonumber the track number field of the tag, which governs order, which typically they do in filename order. For more on order see the "how to make sure tracks play in order" link in the FAQ post.
Also as a side note how do I get organize the audiobook files on the Zen say for instance if I put 5 Stephen King books on there it looks like all the books are one album when I have put them on using the nomad explorer in their own folders i.e.,
Stephen King - The Stand (Complete Parts & 2 in stereo)
Stephen King - The Talisman (in stereo)
But when I go to organize the Zen all of the Stephen King will be under his name like they are all on album. I just got the Zen about 3 days ago and trying to organize it has been a BIG headache. Can anyone help me with this please?
To have books under different albums you need to use the album tag to diffentiate between them. For example those for The Stand should have that, or similar, in the album tag.

Two computer sync

IPod Touch "Two-Way Sync"

I am pleased to report that I just returned from a month-long trip throughout Europe and my iPod touch worked like a charm. I bought it prior to departing to use it for mobile internet access as I new I would find WiFi-enabled places everywhere. It enabled me to stay in contact with with friends and family via .Mac e-mail, book guest-houses on-line, share photos with travel companions, not to mention having access to music on the long train rides. In short, a great digital travel tool.
But here is the question:
I came home and found that while the e-mails that were sent to me (and read on the road on my iPod) were available to read on my MacBook, I was not able to find the e-mails in my Desktops's Send Box that I originally sent from my iPod Touch. I am not sure if I need to set this "two-way" sync up via the iPod touch when I hook it up to my computer via iTunes or is it something I need to arrange on my computer via Systems Preferences?
Thanks kindly in advance,
john

Hi John,
Nope. Messages sent from my iPod Touch do not appear in the Sent folder either on the desktop or the .mac web mail. I am wondering, how do you have System Preferences- .Mac under Sync set up? I just noticed that "Synchronize with .Mac" for me is set on Manually. Perhaps you have it on Automatic? Also, on the iPod itself, I now find that there is a section to set up Sent Messages to be placed in Sent messages on the Server. And you didn't have to do any of this? Seems the Sync was set up for you more readily. Let's see if these adjustments do it for me too.

Two Computer Liabraries

If you have two computer authorized on one ID how can you get Liabraries to sync. Some of the music on one was loaded off CD's bought before ITunes. Using the Cloud will this not allow that to happen? Do I have to load all CD's on both Computers to get them in Liabrary?

Hi Esaeonyc2,
It is only two computers, the activation applies to all products included in the suite. This is the same if you bought a suite of perpetual products as well.

IPhone with two iTunes sync

Can i two ITunes of two different computer sync?

No.
Iphone will sync/manage music with one and only one comptuer at a time. If you sync/manage from another, then it will erase the current content.

How do I set up itunes sync with outlook to "replace information on this iphone" only? I do not want to do a two way sync.

I am tired of fighting sync incompatibilities between Outlook 2007 and I Tunes, and no longer want to do a two-way sync.
I still want my Outlook contacts and calendar on my iPhone and use advanced setup in iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" only.
iTunes only offers the ability to do this on "the next sync only". Is there a way to set up iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" every time I connect my phone?

Hi there Greg,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to always replace content on your iPhone 5S with content from Outlook on your PC, to do this you’ll just have to Reset the Sync History in iTunes as shown below.
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - Apple Support
To reset sync history:
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
If the issue continues and you know all of the data is on the computer:
Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
Click Apply.
Cheers,
-Jason

HT1386 Is there any way to do a two way sync between iphone contacts & outlook on a pc?

I have contacts on my iphone which i keep updated. However, i need these changes to be applicable on outlook as well. I prefer updating contacts on outlook when i have to do it on large scale. I have over 1000 contacts in my iphone. Is there any way by which i can do a two way sync between iphone and outlook on a pc.

Take a look at this article:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

Calender two-way sync

Hi,
Do we not have two-way sync for ical? Appointments made on the iphone are not x-fered to the computer and then erased from iphone. Anybody have a different outcome??

They are transferred to iCal on your computer when you sync the iPhone - there is a setting as to which calendar unassigned appointments should be put into.
Why would you want the appointments to be deleted from your iPhone once they have been synced with your computer? I think the purpose it to have your calendar on your phone and on your computer. It doesn't take up a whole lot of space on the phone, so you shouldn't have a lot to worry about.
I really don't know how you would be able to sync the calendar without keeping the appointments on your phone. One possibility - don't categorize any appointments if you enter them onto your calendar via your iPhone. Then, when you set the sync settings, do not sync whatever calendar uncategorized appointments are placed into.

Stretching Timeline cross a two computer monitor config.

I'm working with FCP6 using two Computer monitors. I like to stretch my timeline across
the two screens. I then save my window layout. If someone else comes to use the machine,
calls up the standard window layout, and then I come back later and call up my custom window layout that I saved earlier, the timeline is no longer stretched out across the two screens.
Does anybody know why and how I can make it default to the timeline stretch across the two windows?
Thanks.

Mathew,
You shouldn't have a problem using built-in audio if you're monitoring on the computer monitor. Built-in is low enough latency that it shouldn't matter. As you say, they appear to be in sync. If you were monitoring video through your Decklink, and audio through the built-in, then I would suspect a problem because the video D to A conversion introduces video latency.
Why a sequence would go a bit out of sync a few weeks later after making no changes is a mystery. Unless you changed something else in your system that could have changed the buffer settings for built-in audio? Just a longshot.

How do I give a separate task ID to two compute waveform sub vi's running sumiltaneously in one vi?

I'm running two compute waveform sub vi's in one main vi. The idea is to output two signals that I can vary independently to each other but when I hook LabVIEW up to a Oscilloscope, I only get one output and the other is just a flat line. I noticed that I'm unable to modify the subvi's independently ie: I change the duty cycle on one and its changed on both of them. Do I need to assign a separate task ID? If so, how do I do this?

Hello;
In case you are outputing two waveforms to two analog output channels, you don't need to have two task IDs to accomplish that.
In case you want to vary one of the two waveforms and keep the other one stable, you can juct modify the buffer array of data points that will be output. Once you configure a analog output channels for two channels of the same DAQ device, you first setup a buffer of data, and such buffer is formed in a way that first data point goes to channel 0, second data poing goes to channel 1, third data point to channel 0 again, fourth data point to channel 1, and so on. That means you can alter only the data points that correspond to one of the channels, while keeping the other ones fixed. That will make only one analog output channel t
o change.
Hope this helps.

TWO WAY Sync is grayed out. Cannot two way synchronize BB.

Outlook. BB.
When attempting to Configure Synchronization Settings for ASC II importer/exporter, the only options given are ONE WAY Synchronization either to or from the device. The one I want to pick:
TWO WAY Sync is grayed out.
How can I ungray the two way sync to be able to sync my outlook/tasks/address/tasks.
I will synchronization with a USB port, not through a wireless connection.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, When using software Desktop manager to do a backup and/or restore, I have to disable the wireless syncrhonisation in the blackberry first to enable the 2 ways sync. Usualy, you can not use wireless and usb cable sync., so as an example, let`s say you want to sync the adress book. go into your blackberry and into your adress book application and press the "application" button, go into "Options" and change Wireless synchronisation to "No"
After that you should see the 2 ways sync.
When completed, do not forget to put back the wireless synchronisation to "Yes" to enable it back.
hope that helps.
