What is the easiest way to sync multiple ipads to one computer

Is it possible to (easily) sync multiple (10) Ipads to one computer? My hope is to have all ten sales reps in the field, with the same info on their ipads.

I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

What is the easiest way to sync two ipads?

I just received a newer ipad. how do I migrate the apps and data from old model?

Sync (and make sure to let it fully back up) the old one. Connect the new one to iTunes (I recommend a cable rather than wireless sync - first one will take a while if you have lots of songs, movies, etc) and instead of "set up as new device" select "restore from backup" and use the back-up from your original iPad.

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

That is exactly what I've been doing.

I had hoped there was an easier - or at least more direct and simpler way.
Thanks anyway.

Gave grandkids Ipads for Christmas. I need to sync each to my Mac with their own Itune accounts. I do have them on my computer with their own login. What is the best way to sync their Ipads?

I need to sync each of my grandkids IPads to my Mac with their own Itune accounts. Each grandkid does have a login on my computer that I control. On their IPads they each set up a ITune account. What is the best way to sync their Ipads? Is there something I need to make sure is turned on in their accounts on my computer?

Hi Jodel,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your grandkids each have a user account on your Mac, you can use the steps in this article to set up syncing with each user account and iPad:

Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
External drives if you need more space.
However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
Rack your brain here on it.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

What's the easiest way to sync my new 2G nano to my 1G nano library?

Ok, this shouldn't be too tough. I want to give away my Nano to a friend and simply connect my new 8GB Nano to my current iTunes library setup. What's the easiset way to do this?

Connect your new Nano and follow the on screen instructions, it will find your existing iTunes and update. Depending on the size of your library you can have it update the whole lot, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences:
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists or "Sync Music - All songs and Playlists" in iTunes 7. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only or "Sync Music - Selected playlists" in iTunes 7. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists or "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes 7. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

What is the easiest way to upgrade multiple iphone 4's to iphone 5's?

I work for a small company. We have 11 iPhones (10 4's and 1 3GS) and we are upgrading everyone to iPhone 5's. Each phone is managed by it's owner and either synced to a home computer, a business computer or through iCloud. Is there an easy way to transfer everything between the old phones and new phones?

The number of devices is irrelevant as there is no mass way to migrate multiple devices.
Each device is upgraded/replaced one at a time.

What is the easiest way to sync Google Cal and Contacts with an iMac?

iTunes will sync Google Contacts, but not calendar. Weird. Why? What's the best fix?

There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks. The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.

What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

Hello
I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with. In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac. Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these. Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.
Regards.

What is the best way to combine multiple projects into one?

My guess would be to turn them into compound clips and then make the transfer that way, but is that the only way?

You can merge Events from the file menu.
Select the Events, File > Merge Events
You could also convert project timlines into CC timlines which would be saved in an Event.
Open project timeline, select all, copy and then paste into a CC timeline.
