Question Asked: Can I Sync My iPhone To More Than One Computer?

Yes, and no.  That’s confusing, I know, but let me explain:

You can sync your iPhone to as many computers as you want to. However, each time you do, whatever data you have set up to sync will overwrite the existing data on your device.

For example, my wife and I have our entire music collection on my computer, but want to put it on her iPhone, as well.  The first time she sync’d her iPhone to my computer, it overwrote all her data, until we configured it to only sync music.

The upside to this is that we can always sync just the music to her computer. 
The downside is that if she syncs the music from her computer (or anyone else’s, for that matter), it’ll overwrite all the music from my computer.

So, the answer is that yes you can do it, but it comse with a stern warning that you may (and most likely will) lose your existing data.
