another iphone question

[huntmaster]

can I sync to 2 different computers w/o confusing my phone? when I started to sync to laptop I had a strange message that I was gonna loose info on my phone so I stopped.

i think if you sync to a different computer with different info it will change everything on your phone to match that computer

Yes you can sync with multiply libraries.. there's a third party app called SwapTunes. Haven't tried it though. Here's a link to do it another way

depends on what you are after....I have stuff syncing between my work laptop and home, music only on the home box, calendar and contacts on work computer since we use exchange here, internal iphone backing up in both places.

this technology stuff is hard on an old cowboy. I read that info on Kevins blog and it made my eyes cross, my tongue swell and I think I felt my liver quiver!

Have another cold one to calm the liver and help the eyes!! Drink in sips will help the tongue swelling.

The iphone two computers etc...have no clue!! Good luck!

No expert by any means, but if you go to "device" in Itunes on each computer, you can choose what will be synced by each machine. Like Blacksunshine said ... I think

when you connect your iphone, itunes should come up and do it's normal thing, be it sync or not, once it's open, if you click on your phone listing in the left navigation pane, you will then get all the sync options to the right:



(loneaggie, can your mac have that many browsers open, with tabs and not crash? )

each of the tabs at the top you can click on and choose many varied options of each and whether or not to sync that option to the computer it is on...ie, you can have itunes on several computers I believe (think there is a limit with the music part) and have this sync with this computer and then on the other have said option disabled on second computer but have one enabled that is not on the first...I have not tried all options on two different computers like I use because I do not have a desire or wish to sync the whole shooting match on both computers.

that plus a fullscreen video playing on the second monitor

Now about the original question, the phone will id itself with one library. You have to jump through a few hopes to sync on multiple computers. The very short answer is maybe lol, the somewhat longer one is yes, but depends on how involved you want to get What blacksunshine says above is a pretty good summary. You can have 5 computers authorized per iTunes account I believe.
