How can I add new games without overwriting the old ones?

I have just purchased two new games in the itunes store and although they are showing in the library (under applications) my previously purchased games are not. In Summary under games it will not let me choose selected games only 'all games' and when I press sync warns that the existing games will be replaced. How can I add these games without deleting the older ones? Also if I did want to remove a game from my ipod how do I do it?

Part of the problem is that I can never sync the whole thing as I dont keep all my music in my library (it seems silly to have my enture cd collection on the computer).
Clearly it ISN'T silly as it avoid issues like you are having right now. If you need more space, get an external hard drive. To me it is much sillier to only have your stuff on the iPod and no where else as the iPod, as a small portable player, is much more likely to be dropped, lost, damaged, stolen, forgotten somewhere, etc.
While I am not familiar with the use of games on the iPod (I have never bought any) you can switch the iPod to manually manage and then you can add content to your iPod without losing what is already there. Perhaps it works for games as well.
But long term, I strongly suggest you keep all your stuff in your library so if you need to (you have to perform a restore on the iPod, you lose it and buy a new one, etc.) you can very easily sync it all back to the iPod when needed.
Good luck,

  • Finally got the ipad to sync-however when I try to sync a new pictuce folder , ipad deletes the original ones I put on I pad- how to I download new albums without deleting the old ones

    I finally got he ipad to sycn photos from computer to ipad- however when I try to download a new album- the old one is deleted and replaced on the ipad- how do I avoid this ?

    You can sync multiple folders to the iPad, as long as they are under the same parent folder on your computer so that you can then select and sync them to the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - each folder will get it's own album on the iPad. Not including them in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out).

  • I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

    I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

    "it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
    Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to?  That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
    If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

  • How to find certain words based on table without overwriting the old one

    Hello,
     I have a list of words available in one particular table, based on those records i need to match it up with one specific column on another table. Based on that match i need to update the same. below is answer for this question;
    Design a new query. Select your data table and your words table. No join line between them.
    Drag datatable.* to the design grid, and the field to check. In the criteria for that field write:
    Like '*' & [wordstable]![wordsfield] & "*"
    (of course you change this to your object names)
    But now my another question is that how i can do update without replacing the existing one. Like for example " Peter is engineering degree".
    In this example if i have words like ring and degree on my reference table, then as per the solution it will update the degree first then later if its find ring on the text then it will overwrite the degree on the particular column. How i can prevent
    this?
    VinWin06

    But now my another question is that how i can do update without replacing the existing one. Like for example " Peter is engineering degree".
    I think what you are saying is that you want to avoid specious substring matches such as finding 'engineering' when searching for 'ring'.  Right?  If so use the following function rather than the LIKE operator to identify the 'word' rather than merely
    a substring:
    Public Function FindWord(varFindIn As Variant, varWord As Variant) As Boolean
       Const PUNCLIST = """' .,?!:;(){}[]/"
       Dim intPos As Integer
       FindWord = False
       If Not IsNull(varFindIn) And Not IsNull(varWord) Then
           intPos = InStr(varFindIn, varWord)
           ' loop until no instances of sought substring found
           Do While intPos > 0
               ' is it at start of string
               If intPos = 1 Then
                   ' is it whole string?
                   If Len(varFindIn) = Len(varWord) Then
                       FindWord = True
                       Exit Function
                   ' is it followed by a space or punctuation mark?
                   ElseIf InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos + Len(varWord), 1)) > 0 Then
                       FindWord = True
                       Exit Function
                   End If
               Else
                   ' is it precedeed by a space or punctuation mark?
                   If InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos - 1, 1)) > 0 Then
                       ' is it at end of string or followed by a space or punctuation mark?
                       If InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos + Len(varWord), 1)) > 0 Then
                           FindWord = True
                           Exit Function
                       End If
                   End If
               End If
               ' remove characters up to end of first instance
               ' of sought substring before looping
               varFindIn = Mid(varFindIn, intPos + 1)
               intPos = InStr(varFindIn, varWord)
           Loop
       End If
    End Function
    You can supplement this with the following functions to find any or all of multiple words in the same string expression:
    Public Function FindAnyWord(varFindIn, ParamArray varWordList() As Variant) As Boolean
        Dim var As Variant
        For Each var In varWordList
            If FindWord(varFindIn, var) Then
                FindAnyWord = True
                Exit Function
            End If
        Next var
    End Function
    Public Function FindAllWords(varFindIn, ParamArray varWordList() As Variant) As Boolean
        Dim var As Variant
        For Each var In varWordList
            If Not FindWord(varFindIn, var) Then
                FindAllWords = False
                Exit Function
            Else
                FindAllWords = True
            End If
        Next var
    End Function
    You can edit the PUNCLIST constant in the first function to allow for any other terminating or leading punctuation characters which may exist, in non-English text for instance.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

  • Syncing to a new computer WITHOUT having the old one

    Hello all, this is very frustrating for me right now. I no longer have my old computer, so I cannot do any of these tutorials on syncing your iphone to a new computer WITHOUT losing all your data. I have contacts on my iphone that are currently no where else. I also do not see any option for this "merge info" when I go to sync. What can I do? I am concerned about nothing else except my contacts, all other information can be erased for all I care, I have music/etc on backup. Any help at all is appreciated.

    You don't need Outlook. Windows has an Address book program (Windows Address Book).
    But if you prefer to use something else like gMail (which I do). Go here how to set up. http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
    I believe it says it will keep your contacts and merge into gMail contacts, so may want to make sure what is at Google is clean and not full of junk contacts.
    Once done, your contacts (and calendar if you setup that up too) will just simply sync over the air any time you make changes, no need to plug into computer. And iTunes will see you set phone to that and will disable option to sync contacts with computer knowing your contacts now sync with Google.
