Syncing iPhone with content on a NAS

I am thinking of transferring entire media library which includes my music, movies and iPhone backups all onto a NAS. Just need to ask, can my iPhone sync with content on a NAS instead? Even if it's freshly restored? Also, if I bring my MBP and iPhone to the office, can I make it sync with this NAS too if I get them to remote connect?

Each phone is paired to a computer/iTunes installation irrespective of the location of the library. Its great that you have figured out how to share a library between computers, but it doesn't move the music etc - it just points at it and uses the content. It doesn't need to move it locally to sync the local phone.
If you want to actually move/copy it to a local drive then create a library on your local computer and then do File-> Add to Library and point that at the top of the remote library and it will copy them across, but that will de-sync the libraries.
I suspect that you do not have 'sync music' ticked on the local iTunes copy so it won't transfer the music othe local iPhone.

    How do I make this 2 location itunes with a single data.
    You can't, as this has never been a feature of any iPhone. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync or manually manage iTunes content with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer. Pick one computer & stick with that computer.

  • HT1766 After I backed up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content was deleted. How do I retrieve it?

    After backing up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content (photos, voice memos, etc) was deleted. How do I retreive this?

    If you just bought the iPhone today, the first time you connect a new iPhone or iOS device to iTunes the first time that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device, or set up the new device as a new device.
    Sounds like you did the former and if so, this did not include backing up the new iPhone first. All data on the iPhone was replaced with the backup for the iPod Touch. The data that was on the iPhone at that time is gone.

    THIS HAS EVERY APPEARANCE OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH BY APPLE ... So first suggestion is NOT to begin reinstalling various software but to await some answer & fix from Apple.  Too many have same problem on various systems, in my view (I am not an Apple rep but have certainly faced many glitches over the years).
    PS - LOTS of Apple software problems these days, including many people having their Contacts shredded.  What's going on with Apple?

  • I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

    I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

    Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

    Do I erase pics after I sync iPhone with my computer

    No.  If you don't want the photos on your phone any longer, be sure to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 first.  Once imported to your computer you can delete them if you want.

  • Trying to sync iPhone with iCloud.. says too many devices.Remove one

      What is the process to remove iOS devices from your iCloud.  Trying to sync iPhone with iCloud under the settings and it says too many devices.  Remove one.
    Thanks

    I suspect the message is referring to you having too many devices associated with the Apple ID you are using for iCloud.  You can have a maximum of 10 devices associated with an Apple ID, 5 of which can be computers.  This article explains how to remove a device from your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.

  • How to sync iPhone with MBP connected via ethernet to PowerBook where iTunes and iPhoto content resides

    I just got the iPhone 5, but I am still using a PowerBook G4 machine that will not sync with my new iPhone.  I was wondering if I could
    1) create a new user for myself on my brother's MBP
    2) connect that MBP with my PowerBook via ethernet
    3) have iTunes and iPhoto on my new MBP user to be mapped to my PowerBook iTunes and iPhoto Library folders respectively
    4) sync the iPhone with my new user on my brother's MBP and acquire all of the content from the iTunes and iPhoto libraries that reside on my PowerBook
    Will this work?  Does anyone recommend a different solution to get the content from my PowerBook G4 1.33 to my new iPhone 5

    Now I have made a search and you are right. A problem which seemed unique to me is, in fact, very common. It is unbelievable that on one hand the Apple programmers can create great software, but on the other hand they act like retards when they forget about some basic functionality. I really can't believe that I will lose my purchases simply because at Apple nobody thought that people do install a fresh system from time to time. What a shame.
    But what about consolidation of accounts? I am being asked to provide account ID which I don't even remember anymore. It seemed natural for me that I download some applications and simply go on with life, just as in about any other website on the internet. But suddenly Apple says that I will not be able to save or transfer my application because I need some funky ID. Hello Apple... My application is already on my phone so I should be able to copy it where I want without some ID. That's really odd.
    Anyway, I will try to search the forum and solve my problems. I simply didn't even think in my wildest dreams that Apple software could be sometimes so ********.
