Two computers with iPhone

I currently have a Touch and am investigating getting an iPhone. Will I be able to synch emails, calendar etc on my work laptop and synch my music etc. from my home computer? I can't install iTunes on my laptop.
In other words, will one iPhone work with two computers?

You'll be able to sync with the 2 computers, but every time you sync from one - it will erase everything already on your iPhone. So if your callendar is on one computer, and your email are on the other - you can't have both sync'd at any one time on your iPhone.
So, you can't really sync between 2 computers successfully this is to supposibly stop people syncing music from one computer and then syncing a few tracks from another computer (copying them really which is copywrite)

Manually manage music on two computers with iPhone 4s

For the past few months I have had not issues manually managing my ipod touch on two computers. This is a necessesity as I own a mac laptop but like to listen to audiobooks from my local library which will only download to a PC. With my iPod touch all I had to do was make sure that the manually manage music was turned on and I could put the music from my computer on the device than go and use my friend's pc to put on the audiobooks (WMA Overdrive format). Since getting the iPhone 4S it has been a nightmare to get the same result. I even went so far as to plug it into each computer completely when nothing was on the iphone and turn on manually manage music in each, than put all my music from the mac on it. Only to find that when I opened up itunes in the PC manually manage music was unchecked again. The only way to turn it back on is to sync and erase all my music, thus forcing me to carry around both an ipod and an Iphone, which is more than a little annoying.
Please help!

Unlike the iPods, including the iPod Touch, iPhones will synch with ONLY ONE iTunes library at a time. You will NOT be able to manually manage music from 2 computers with your iPhone.

Why the **** can I only sync my phone with one itunes program. Perhaps I have two computers with music on them that i'd like to add to my iphone,ipad,itouch,ipod. Fix this please thanks.

Why the **** can I only sync my phone with one itunes program. Perhaps I have two computers with different music on both of them that i'd like to add to my iphone,ipad,itouch,ipod. Fix this please thanks.

Becasue that is the way the ****** iphone is designed.
You can only sync with one ******computer.
There is nothing to ****** fix.
It is the ****** design of the iphone. It is ****** by design.

HT202213 I have two computers with home sharing on, but I can't transfer music. What do I do?

I have two computers with home sharing on, but I can't transfer music. What do I do?

What do you mean by "won't pick up the songs"?
You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage mauic and videos among different computer by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
You can transfer iTunes purchases to a computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

Multiple computers with iPhone 3GS

Everyone,
perhaps someone can answer this question for me. I have two main computers I use with my new iPhone: one at work and one at home - each computer (Windows XP) with its own library. I used to manually manage an iPod mini between these two computers with no problems. I could add/delete songs to the iPod from each of the libraries. With the new iPhone I noticed a different behavior, although I am manually managing the music. Everything is fine with the work computer. But with the home computer, all my songs on the iPhone are grayed out and cannot be modified. iTunes is asking me to sync with the new library, which I don't want to do since it will erase the content of my iPhone. Is this normal behavior, even for a manually managed iPhone? If it is, is there a workaround to be able to use the iPhone on both computers without having to delete contents while doing so?
Thanks for any advice,
Toni

The iPhone does not support disk mode as is supported with an iPod, which is required for this even with manually manage music and videos selected for the iPhone's sync preferences.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.

Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

Hi, is the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

PLEASE HELP. Two computers with the same External IP Address

I have two computers with the same IP address which is causing problems. I tried to ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew but I get the error "No operation can be performed on a Local Area Connection* 11 while it has its media disconnected.
I tried resetting router/modem, made sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" are all enabled. DHCP is enabled.
Two of the computers have the same one and the other IP is completely different (not 1 or 2 off). When I open the router settings and click DHCP Reservation it shows the IPs 1 number off and all different like you said. i.e ***.***.*.106, ***.***.*.107,
***.***.*.108. But with the proxy service I'm using, when trying to allow each computer to use them it shows different IP addresses than what is shown in the DHCP Reservation.
If I clone my MAC address the identical IP of the two computers changes but they'll still share the same IP. The third doesn't change.
I tried ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew - ipconfig /flushdns nothing yet. Not sure about your #2 and #3. And I just updated my firmware.
Anyone with expertise? Thanks.

Cyber_Defend_Team and ZigZag3143x I powered down all three computers and turned off/reset the modem and router.
I restarted them one by one and after, the two computers with the conflicting IP address changed their IPs but their IPs are still conflicting. The third computers IP stayed the same.
What else can we do?

How do i link itunes between two computers with different Apple ID's

You need to set up two user accounts on the mac. System Preferences>Users & Groups. Then each user can set up apple IDs for itunes and icloud any way they want.

ITunes Libraries on two computers with one iPhone 3G 16GB White

My Dad wants to put music from my macbook and from my mum's imac on his iphone. what is the best way to do this without mixing the two libraries, as I know you cannot sync the iphone with two computers?

OK - so I'm off-piste a little here (since I don't have two phones to try it with) - but can't you just tick "Manually manage music and videos" or something on the Summary tab within iTunes when you plug in your iPhone and then drag-drop music to it/them? I know that it won't sync - but I'm pretty sure that you can do want you want.
Take a look at this discussion - I believe iPhones work in the same way: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7504192&#7504192

Two computers, one iphone, one calender, help

I've tried reading through the support pages but am having a hard time figuring this one out. Any help would be great welcomed.
I have two computers that I use on a daily basis. One stays at work, the other is at home. All depending on where I am I will enter info into ical on either of my computers or on my iphone. My computer at work is what my iphone is set to sync to but there are days when I'm not in the office and work from home.
I don't have any music stored on my laptop at home and therefor am under the impression that if I attempt to sync my phone to it then the data will be deleted. I simply mainly need to mirror my calendars between the three devices. Syncing my iphone to my work computer works fine to keep the two in sync together but I do need a way to get the info back onto my computer at home.
I tried .mac for about a month and it seemed to be the answer to my problem but I started having trouble with it a couple of weeks back. It would not sync my laptop and constantly came up with this message: "A failure occurred while synchronizing the .mac sync client". I tried sorting that out with Apples advice but to no avail. I've given up with the .mac and figured that there has to be another way.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks

No - IF you set it up right. Follow these steps:
1. Select "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones" under Edit / Preferences / iPhone in the iTunes menu.
2. Uncheck "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" in the Summary tab of iTunes.
3. Check "Only sync checked items" in the same tab.
4. On the computer you want to sync contacts and calendar, check the corresponding boxes in the Info tab. UNCHECK everything else in the MUSIC, PHOTOS, PODCASTS and VIDEO tabs.
5. Sync your iPhone with this computer FIRST.
6. On your other computer, follow the same steps above (1, 2 and 3). Then, UNCHECK everything in the INFO tab, and check everything else on the other tabs.
7. When you sync with this second computer, you may get a message that the iPhone has already been synced with another computer, and that the media library will be deleted. Fine. There should be NO media library on the iPhone since you unchecked all the media items on the first computer, right?
8. Sync. Then you can sync on both computers and each will sync what is checked and not overwrite the rest.
