Default Syncing - 2 different computers

I have a computer at work I use to sync calendar and email. I also have a computer at home where I download most of the apps to the iPhone.

How do I keep the apps I downloaded at home from being deleted at work when I hook up the iPhone and sync it? Same if I download an app at work, how do I keep it from being deleted at home?

Thanks, Ken Corbett

You really can't sync an iPhone to two computers. Your best bet is to use an Exchange server for calendar and email.

You can sync with two computers, iclarified.com shows you how. then you just make sure that one pc you do your apps and music and on on the other you do your mail and contacts. You couldn't sync the same thing, music or contacts with both.

Well, there is a way to do it. I do it at work and home, but it's not trivial and I'm sure it's looked down upon by Apple.

That's the same method that I used. It works well, but I agree; it's not trivial. I accidentally wiped half the apps on my phone because they didn't exist in the copy of iTunes on my work PC. Of course, this only happened because I was too fast when I received the pop-up stating that apps not transferred would be removed, so it was completely user error.

I believe that's the iPhone 3G

Although that's a definite possibility, only the developers on the applications in question would know for certain. You should ask them...

There is an app in Cydia called Swap Tunes that should be able to do the trick for you.
