Synching iPod / laptop / mini Mac

What do you mean by 'sync together?'

No - I believe that you would have to sync the laptop and Mac Mini manually (copying files yourself).

One option would be to keep the library on one of the computers (laptop or mini - it does not matter) and then: continue to sync your iphone to the computer that held the iTunes library; allow your iTunes library to be "shared" so that the other computer could see it - and access and play it. Obviously this would require the computer which holds the library to always be on.

OK, I suspected that might be the case.

Either way it looks like it isn't going to be a straightforward solution.

So that you can keep the data on all 3 devices the same by synching in iTunes.

You can keep data such as address books, bookmarks, calander events etc synced no problem. As for itunes, I don't really understand whyyou would want all the same information on each computer, seems a waste of space.

Keep it on one mac, and enable sharing on the others.

The reasoning behind it is so I have the ability to play the iTunes material direct off the Minimac into the hifi. I have the laptop to take away when I travel.

The mac will still be at home and the songs can be played independently off it.

I know you can do this with the Apple TV but couldn't see anywhere saying that it was possible with the miniMac.

If I did get a miniMac would all 3 keep synch together or is this not the case?
