Apple only allows you to sync your iPhone with one iTunes library at a time. When you attempt to sync your iPhone with another computer, you get the familiar, “The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?” message.

But what if you want to use your home computer to sync pictures, music, videos and podcasts and your office computer to sync calendar and contact information?

It’s basically a 7 step process which takes some very simple hacking skills.

Step 1 – On your main computer, browse to your iTunes music folder and double click the file named iTunes Music Library.xml to open it in Notepad.

Step 2 – Write down the value of the Library Persistent ID key. (It should look something like 20F830293962CBA4) Take care not to modify the file before closing.

Step 3 - On your secondary computer, browse to your iTunes music folder and create a backup of iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl. Select both files and press Control+c then Control+v on your keyboard. This will make a backup copy of the files.

Step 4 – Double click to open iTunes Music Library.xml in notepad.  Make note of the current Library Persistent ID then change the Library Persistent ID key to the one we wrote down from Step Two and save the file.

Step 5 – Now we will need to open iTunes Library.itl using a HexEditor. You can download HexEdit from here.

Step 6 – Once you have opened iTunes Library.itl using HexEdit, search for the old Library Persistent ID we replaced in Step Four. Do this by clicking Find from the Menubar. Make sure to select Hex as your search type.

Step 7 – Once found, replace the old Library Persistent ID with the one from Part Two and save the file.

You can now launch iTunes and connect your iPhone to the new computer for syncing. Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Notice if now select Manually manage music and videos from the Summary Tab you will no longer be prompted to erase your data, nor will the files on your iPhone be grayed out.

This tutorial is based on the discovery by Andrew Grant. You can check out his blog posting on the subject here:

Well I’m not real sure how you couldn’t be satisfied with today’s headlines.  Whether you were excited to see Steve back on stage or anxious to download ringtones, I think there was satisfaction spread evenly.  Even though we’re not going to get every little detail desired (cameraless iPod Touch), Apple has shot below par by introducing iTunes 9, 3.1 firmware, and new line of iPod Touch’s.  Here’s a quick briefing of what you missed encase you couldn’t make it out to Cali for the day.

First up, iTunes 9.  With the upgrade available for download today, you will be see changes to help enhance your App Store experience.  With an added horizontal navigation bar added to each page, less time is spent jumping from viewing apps to searching for movies.  And the best of iTunes 9 is being able to easily manage your apps on your device through iTunes.  Additionally, you will now be able to specify what artists, genres, and playlist you would like to automatically sync.

iTunes LP will also be a new face to the community.  Here’s Apples take:

“The visual experience of the record album returns with iTunes LP. Get a gorgeous, immersive version of select albums — right in your iTunes library. So while you listen to your favorite songs by your favorite artists, you can also five into beautiful animated lyrics and notes, performance videos, artists and band photos and more.”

Another road Apple has decided to take is selling ringtones.  A little late on the draw, but better late then never.  However, priced at $1.29, I’m not sure if that will fly or not.  With most songs costing $.99, it would be hard pay more for a fraction of a song.  But I’m open minded and will wait to see what kind of reaction Apple is given.

The bigger news of the day is the third generation iPod Touch.  Unfortunately, no camera is included.  However, there are some reasonable tradeoffs.  A similar 3.1 update the iPhone will bounce up to will also appear for the Touch.  A 50% speed improvement , OpenGL ES 2.0 for improved graphics, Genius App Recommendations, and voice control will be the selling points that drive you to make a step up to the third gen..  Not only will you have the options of the 8GB ($199) and 32GB ($299), but you’ll have a chance to get your hands on the granddaddy of them all, 64GB ($399)!!

iPhone users will also have the option to upgrade to 3.1 firmware.  It’s recommended to upgrade iTunes beforehand.  And to all you Jailbreakers and unlockers, I would advise to hold up until the coast is clear.

Sources have informed CNET that Apple has obtained the rights to distribute ringtones for iPhone users. They are quickly trying to make this dream a reality in time for next weeks “rock and roll” themed press conference, Sept. 9th. It is unclear how much Apple will charge for a single ringtone, but you probably could guess it won’t be outrageous. I mean they charge anywhere from $.69 to $1.29 a song. You would think a snippet would be less than the song itself.

So what do you think?  Along with buying any song you could think of, will you do the same for a ringtone?
