Change iPhone sync - iTunes for Mac to Windows

Hi,
I changed my computer, I had a Mac, and now i have a windows.
How can I change the sync of my iPhone between the computers in the best way?
Thank's!

Yes, however, I was able to finally sync my phone, I don't know how it worked or what I did differently, I just restarted iTunes and it appeared, but my original problem (the phone speaker) still exists. When I turn on speakerphone, or when I use the headphone mic, I can hear the dial tone/conversations like normal, but I cannot use the phone otherwise.

  • Seamlessly switching between iTunes for Mac and Windows

    The path on a Windows machine to my iTunes is something like N:\My Music, where N is mapped as a network drive. On a Mac, that same Drive N is mapped as “fireserver” on the server machine. So on iTunes for the Mac, it would have to be //servername/fireserver/My Music or something along those lines.
    Here’s the problem. The iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml are the files in Windows that store the information regarding which iTunes music is there, as well as the playlists and their contents. Therefore, if I move from one machine to another, as long as each has the server’s drive mapped as N, I can copy those two files from one machine to the other and it serves two purposes. First, it is a backup of sorts of my iTunes library. Second, I don’t have to update the information on two computers but rather one, and then copy the files to have an identical library, including playlists.
    I would like to sync my iPhone and iPod(s) with my Mac, but I have a Windows machine, and need to continue to use that Windows machine to do other things with iTunes, such as port music to the backyard of my house. I don’t know how to keep the two iTunes libraries in sync since the xml and itl files refer to files and folders within N:\My Music. Even if I laboriously edited those files and did a global replace, that would be a one shot deal, and thereafter, I would have to update on the Windows side and on the Mac side.
    So here is the question. Is there a way that I can set up my Mac so that when I refer to N: it knows that I mean //servername/fireserver (I’m not sure if I have the syntax right, but I think I’m getting my point across)? In this way, the files would point to N:\whatever and the computer would know that I mean //servername/fireserver/whatever.
    This would solve a major problem for me.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have been really surprised by the lack of responses to this post. I'm thinking, this is such a typical thing that people would want to do - sharing their music with friends and family - I can't be the first to have the problem. Plus, I've always received such quick, expert advice on this forum to other questions since buying my Mac a couple of months ago.
    But now I'm wondering whether there is something else going on that precludes the resident experts from answering. Is sharing music as I've described illegal? Maybe that's why everybody's keeping quiet, i.e., if you tell me how to share my songs with a friend then you're assisting in copyright infringement.
    I didn't think it was illegal to share music with a friend in this way, as long as the songs you've downloaded from iTunes aren't shared on more than four devices or whatever. If it is illegal I'd sure like to know. That would also explain the radio silence.
    Thanks.

  • IPhone: Error "0xE8000025" when syncing in iTunes for MAC, not windows

    The "phone" speaker on my iPhone stopped working tonight, so I tried a power off, didnt work, so I tried a hard reset. Didnt work. So I restored the OS on my iPhone, now i get the 0xE8000025 error every time I try to connect, any one else have this problem or a solution?

  • Cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5 / itunes for mac

    Does anyone know why one cannot add playlists to folders in iphone 5. When I drag a playlist to a folder on my "Devices" on my iMac in itunes 10 it does not show up on my phone after it syncs. I should note that I currently have 3 folders with playlists which show up on my iphone but I believe these were generated when I first Automatically Synced Music before I switched to Manually Manage Music

    Also can this be done for photos?

  • Iphone not being recognized by Itunes for MAC; But works in Windows Vista

    Hi,
    My iphone sync with Windows without problems.
    But when I plug my iPhone in MAC (10.5.5) with Itunes (8.0.2) the iTunes return: itunes could not connect to the iphone 0xE8000001
    It is strange because iPhone connect with iPhoto without problems.
    Just iTunes for mac dont work.
    This is a brand new minimac.
    Any tips?
    Rogerio

    RogerioNT,
    Which USB port are you connecting it to?
    iPhoto will transfer over a USB 1.1 connection, and many hubs are USB 1.1. Try connecting the iPhone directly to the back of the computer.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

  • Digital Copy isn't working on iTunes for Mac, but it works on my iPhone 4S

    Hello,
    I bought The Book of Eli on blue ray and burned it to my iTunes for Mac via digital copy. I updated to iTunes 10.5.1 and now it won't play, it just shows a black screen and the minutes meter isn't moving. I synced it to my iPhone 4S and it plays fine. What do I have to do to get the digital copy on my Mac to work?
    Thanks,

  • Transferring iTunes for Mac to iTunes for Windows

    My son currently uses iTunes for Mac to store all his music he for his iPhone. His iTunes is on a PowerBook G4, running OS X 10.4.11, which he now finds can not be upgraded to Leopard or Snow Leopard which would give him the latest version of iTunes. He is now thinking of purchasing a PC laptop that will run the latest version of iTunes. BUT, all of his music is on his Mac PowerBook. Is there way to transfer his music on iTunes for Mac to iTunes for Windows?

    Chris,
    Thank you for responding. I only went by what my son said. I will check out Leopard's system requirements. Do you know if music stored on iTunes for Mac can be transferred to iTunes for Windows. If so,what I do to transfer the music?

  • Cannot change Media Kind when importing audiobooks and TV shows into iTunes for Mac

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro - my first Apple computer. 
    I have used PC's with iTunes for many years, and have a large collection of music (from CD's), audiobooks (from CD's), TV shows (from multiple sources), and movies (from DVD's) on external an hard drives.  I have never had trouble moving these to/from my various iDevices: an iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad 2.
    I plugged the external drive into my new MacBook Pro, and added the folders to my iTunes for Mac library.  As always happened in the past, the video files were always characterized as "Movies", and audio files as "Music".  However, in iTunes for Mac, i do not seem to have the ability to change the Media Kind .... I can see the field, but it is "greyed out" and i am not allowed to change it.
    Can anyone help advise me on how I can change these Media Kinds?  Thank you!

    No one answered my question, but I solved it, and thought I'd explain how if others have the same problem .... I had the wrong kind of hard drive for a Mac.  It was formatted NTFS, which the Mac could read but not write to .... therefore, iTunes wouldn't let me change anything.  I needed a better external hard drive anyways, so I got a new one, formatted it to the Mac format, and then just dragged everything to the new hard drive.  After that, iTunes worked perfect.

    how do i sync my iphone with outlook for mac 2011 calendar?

    Here are some instructions from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2452489
    Alternatively, depending on where the data in Outlook is coming from, you could set up your phone to sync to the same account that Outlook is syncing with.  For example, my Outlook 2011 and my iPhone both sync to my work Exchange account, so I have that same calendar in both places.

    When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?

    OK, I think I figured it out, with Apple's iCloud instructions and a little help from campus tech support. This only applies to people using Outlook with Microsoft Exchange.
    Enable iCloud on your computer (running Lion) and your iPhone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    Then go to your iPhone's Mail icon, click on Add Account > Microsoft Exchange and enter your login info.
    Doing this transferred my work email and calendar to my phone wirelessly.
