This isn't a problem, but a question.
1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
if so then...
2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

  • Can two different iPhones sync with iTunes?

    I have the iPhone 4 and have managed/synced it to my iTunes account (my music library, videos, etc).
    My room mate just got the iPhone 4s, hasn't activated it yet, but has no computer.  He uses my iMac.  I have admin privileges, since I'm the owner of the iMac.  He logs on as guest user.
    Can he use my iTunes account to activate and manage his iPhone?  or since he logs on as guest, will iTunes intuitively allow him to use/manage his iPhone?
    Or do I need to set him up his own user account?
    Thanks, Vince.

    I have the iphone 4 and PC with Windows Vista Basic. When I bought my iPhone syncs with iTunes on my computer, but now when I try to sync it tells me that Mobile Device Service was closed and I can not synchronize the phone. Try restarting Mobile Device Service and uninstall and reinstall Itunes but still giving me the same error.

  • Why can I no longer sync with iTunes?

    I have 85.5 MB available and can no longer sync with iTunes with wi fi or plug-in.  I get an error message that says I'm out of space.  Whats the problem?

    As I said in my reply to your other post you need more storage available. Like about 1 GB or more. You have to delete stuff from your iPod.

  • Having trouble getting your iphone sync with itunes? Click here.

    I, myself, has been one of the many people facing issues with their iphone (5S) being recognized or syncing with itunes after the new update, however, after calling an apple specialist, she taught me how to fix the problem.
    You have to completely uninstall itunes and all of it's components (Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support). Simply uninstalling itunes won't do the trick. You have to manually uninstall all of the listed program in your computer's uninstall programs page.
    Please uninstall it in this specific order
    - itunes
    - Apple Software Update
    - Apple Mobile Device Support
    - Bonjour
    - Apple Application Support
    And then reinstall the latest itunes at :

    Connect your iphone and it should be good to go! It definitely worked for me! Hope this helps you! Cheers!

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • HT201269 Best Buy started the setup assistant on my new iPhone 5 and now I can't make it sync with iTunes.  How can I reset and start over?

    I bought an iPhone 5 at Best Buy, and they started the setup assistant process.  Now I can't go back and start over so I can sync my phone to my iTunes account.  I have an old iPhone 3GS and didn't use the iCloud.  I backed up to my computer.  And now I can't reset my iPhone 5 to sync to my iTunes.
    Help.

    I purchased a iPhone 5, and after completing a backup of my old iPhone 3GS, I in error selected Set Up as a New iPhone in the Setup Assistant.
    I connected to iTunes and did a Restore iPhone, which set the iPhone5 back to factory defaults, and I was able to restart the Setup Assistant, and following the apple support instructions, restored from my 3GS backup and synced with my iTunes account.  The Restore kept my phone number intact.
    I was worried that I would lose the setup of my phone number that was done in the store, but everything worked perfectly.

  • Can't restore iPhone 5 with iTunes error 3. and my iPad3 and iPhone 5s can't login to Game Center

    Hi. This is the first time since I knew apple devices..
    I own - iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1
              - iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPhone 5 "out of service"
              - iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.4
              - iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1
              - iPad 3 with iOS 7.0.4
    Ever since I own my first iPhone 4 I never face unresolved problem like the 2 I'll mention.
    1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.
    I did restore and update to iOS 7.0.4 but at the restore takes at the last 1% in the last moment of restore it will take loooong time then gave me error 3. And now for more than a month the iPhone stuck with recovery logo. Almost I tried every trick in the book . Change USB cable, port, PC. PC with other OS . Even freezing the iPhone as I read here noooooo result the same happened again and again.
    2- when I update my iPad3 to 7.0.1 everything went normal till one day ago suddenly I found my account logged out of the Game Center by its self and when I wanted to log again it will gave me error of can't connect to server or cocoa error??? Strange thing I can use other account to log in but mine No. Only my account is forbidden in my device while any other account I can login normally. Also my account and Game Center working without any problem in all other devices.
    I also tried every trick , change my ID then password then the whole ID domin nothing works. I restart normally then by pressing power/home. I logged off my self from all other devices and tried but also no hope.
    So - my account has no problem working with any other device
         - My iPad had no problem with other accounts in Game Center except me. While the same account had no problem with iCloud or email in the same iPad.
    I don't and I will not DO restore since it is bizarre problem and I already faced same problem in my iPhone 5s when I restore old backup to iOS 7.0.4 and was the only solution is to set up as NEW iPhone
    I saw similar problem but no difinite answer from Apple itself and this is strang but always I was loyal customer and already convinced about 8 of my friends to use iPhone during last 3 years and I expect apple to be loyal to me in the first time I am seeking there actuate direct advice.

    I have exactly the same problem with my iPhone 5s!

    Hello Jbartrain,
    I found a few articles with steps to help with your iPhones not being recognized in iTunes on your Mac.  I recommend reviewing the following resources:

  • Create application through Automator to have iPhone sync with iTunes

    Is there a way to create an Automator app so I can have an icon that when run, it syncs the iPhone with iTunes (basically choosing Sync iPhone under the File menu of iTunes)?

    Hi,
    I'm using the new USB cable that came with my iPhone that I bought yesterday. Not sure if it's USB 2.0.
    My iPod from a few years ago uses a Firewire cable.
    My music is on an external LaCie hard drive.
    The transfer rate of songs from my external to my iPhone is about a minute per song. However, the transfer rate of songs from my external to my iPod is about 5 seconds per song.
    I just think that's a dramatic difference in time but am wondering if that's expected behavior or if there might be something wrong with my iPhone.
    Thanks.

  • Using more than one IPOD with ITUNES?

    A simple question but can i connect more than one IPOD to my ITUNES on my laptop? I am considering buying a IPOD for my gf (i already have a video IPOD) and we only have the one laptop in the house. I think i read somewhere that you cannot connect 2 IPODs but wanted to check before i buy it.

  • Authorizing more than 5 devices with iTunes Match

    iTunes Match is working fine on my home Mac Mini and my iPhone/iPad.
    According to the documentation on the sign-up page, iTunes Match is supposed to support 10 authorized devices. But when I try to auth my work Mac, I get an error saying I have more than 5 authorized devices (the old limit for the iTunes Store). BTW, some of these must be old computers no longer in use.
    I followed the steps on this page to no avail:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4913
    I am afraid to de-authorize all devices and start from scratch since things seem to be buggy now. Any other ideas?

    Their documentation is wrong in some spots.  The limit is 10 devices total but only five computers.  You should be able to do "deauthorize all computers" under your account in the iTunes store to free up the ones on old retired computers.

  • HT4137 iPhone synced with iTunes, but not Phone... Why?

    Did she insert her SIM card and restore as new?

  • HT1711 Can international music be sync with iTunes too?

    I want to buy a Japanese soundtrack. The letters will be in Japanese characters. Will it automatically be translated or converted for me? Will the soundtrack even be allow to sync with my iTunes?

    In principle you can't buy form another country's store. Cross-border sales are not permitted as there are different rights holders for different regions.
    If the soundtrack is available in your local store it will have whatever details the rights holder determines. There is no automatic translation of song titles and other details.

  • IPod classic stuck on 'X' screen, can't restart or sync with iTunes

    I've tried everything, but nothing has worked to fix my beloved iPod classic.  It hasn't worked since last September, so about four months.  I'm curious if it has something to do with the classic being discontinued, but I don't see why that would destroy my iPod, which I had for about a year.  If I hit a button, the apple logo pops up, and after a few seconds it goes to a different screen with an 'X' on it, giving me the url for apple support.  It didn't seem like any of the support was directed to my sort of problem.  I have a lot of music, so without my iPod I've been forced to only add a small amount of it to my 16gb iPhone.  I'm hoping that I can get my iPod working again, since I used it everyday.  I would appreciate any help!
    Thank you!

    Hi b.lindstrom,
    If you are seeing the Red X on your iPod, then try putting your iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it within iTunes. If that does not work, then you will need to setup service on your iPod. The article below will have more information to help you out.
