Adding photos without erasing content

We manually manage my daughter's iPod on our main Mac, as far as her music goes. She now wants to add a few photos, which of course can't be done manually. I'm concerned that even though we have the 'manage things manually' check box still ticked, going to the Photos tab, checking the 'sync' box and attempting to sync a folder of photos will erase everything else. Am I correct in this assumption?

The remaining answer: I just switched my ipod to "manual managing music" and tried to add some photos I took today. I would have lost my pictures on the ipod if I had applied syncing the new ones, because I changed my Aperture library and the pictures on the ipod where missing in the new library.
So I guess you would not lose pictures if you have the same pictures still in your folder/library on your computer and just add a new folder to sync. But pictures not being present on your Mac and showing up on your daughters ipod will be deleted. Since you can't download the pictures back to your Mac, unless you use 3rd party software like http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/ , you can't sync without erasing the photos on the ipod.

  • Can i sync my iphone with more than one itunes library without erasing content?

    So i just got a replacement iphone yesterday, and restored from a backup all my contacts and stuff.
    I dont have my own laptop so when it comes to music i get all of my mine from other computers...this has never been a problem with my phone or ipods, but i guess it is now...when i click on manually manage it says:
    "An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    so i cannot go to a second device and take songs from them without erasing the ones from the previous comp.
    they used to be able to authorized on up to 5 comps right? is this a new strict setting, or is there a way around it??
    thanks

    No. An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Basically you'd want to get the music to the library first, then sync it to the phone after you get it set up in your library.  iTunes will not transfer songs off the phone that were not purchased through the iTunes store, so they need to be in your library beforehand. You might consult with the googles if there are other third party ways to do that.
    The 5 compy authorization is for iTunes account authorization, which means transfering music bought through itunes, apps, etc.

  • IPhone 6 Plus will not allow sync without erasing content

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus towards the end of 2014. My iPhone 5 had always been synced with my former Windows laptop, however I upgraded to a Macbook Pro in mid 2014. My iPhone 6 Plus has never been synced with or even plugged into my old Windows, however I find now that when I try to sync music to my iPhone 6 Plus it will not allow me to do so without erasing my entire phone as a pop up claims my new iPhone is synced to my former Windows laptop, which is completely not the case. I have set up my iPhone 6 Plus on this Macbook, saved backups and installed updates with absolutely no problem until now. I refuse to erase the contents of my phone as I know I have never used the iPhone on the computer it claims I am synced with.
    When setting up my iPhone I have restored from a backup of the 5 that was saved onto my new Macbook. The 5 had been synced with my Windows laptop, so is it because of using this backup that my phone cannot sync? Is there any way to avoid erasing my iPhone 6 Plus?

    its saying it was previously synced with windows because of the backup. if you don't have anything synced from another computer then you have nothing to worry about. you can just erase because its only going to erase info that was synced from other computer and since you have no info it won't have anything to erase

  • IMovie 6.0.3 timeline conundrum: adding photo without losing sync

    How does one add a photo to an existing video with audio in 6.0.3 so that it simply replaces, for example, 5 seconds of the video WITHOUT moving the rest of the video?  IOW, I don't want the video or audio to move at all, just for the inserted image to replace the 5 seconds of video at that place.  I can't seem to do it without the video shifting 5 seconds.  I have extracted the audio and tried every combination of locking audio and dragging the photo to no avail.
    Obviously it's a simple thing, but I can't find any reference to this in any literature!  :  )    Thanks.

  • Repartition portable hard drive without erasing contents

    Hey all,
    So recently I accidentally formatted my portable hard drive but luckily I was able to get my files back thanks to this incredibly useful free software called TestDisk (figured I'd give it a plug lol). Anyway, I don't think I recovered the data properly because now my portable hard drive has only one partition which is in Fat32 format. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to repartition my hard drive so that I could leave the existing partition but create another one without having to format the whole thing.
    Thanks heaps,
    djnush

    How is the drive partitioned currently - GUID or APM? It is possible to create a second partition without completely erasing the drive, but it depends on how the drive is currently partitioned. And, you need to be running 10.5.8 in order to do it on a GUID partitioned drive. However, if the drive is currently partitioned using MBR or APM, then you cannot do it on the fly. You would have to repartition the entire drive thus erasing any data on the drive.

  • DrawRect without erasing content?

    I have two transparent UIViews overlapping, I want to draw in the "behind" one, but without clearing the content that is already present.
    I have set the "clearsContextBeforeDrawing" property of that view to NO, but when I do a "setNeedsDisplay" to get it's drawRect called, the contents is still cleared.
    How can I prevent this?

    If you can point to the part of this that isn't clear then you should file a bug.

  • HT1386 My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    My old computer crashed and I can't sync new songs from my new computer to my IPod without erasing all of the existing content on the IPod.  Can new songs be added without erasing?

    Yes by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    However, you can make this computer the syncing computer by:
    - Transering iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - For synced photos you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The do music too.
    - After everything is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backupo by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

  • I want to add my existing iPad Air 2 to a new iMac Retina 5K. Can I do this without erasing the contents of my iPad?

    I just bought an iMac with Retina 5K display. I have an existing iPad Air 2. Can I connect the iPad to the iMac without erasing the contents of the iPad? If so how? Thanks for your help.

    Hi. Actually you can connect your iPad to the iTunes without erasing the contents which purchased from iTunes Store. I suggest to import your photos taken by iPad to iMac the first time: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support.
    Also you can click to stop syncing to avoid losing some contents.

  • HT4527 I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone?

    I set up my iphone with my laptop but now its broken is there anyway of adding new song using anpther laptop/desktop computer without erasing everything currently on my phone? I have no access to my old computer and the songs on it are from cds not itunes purchases
    Please help!!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    There is nothing you or Apple can do without the previous owners icloud information.

  • Is there a way to erase contents in cells more than one, without deleting the formatted background?

    When using Numbers on iPad (Numbers '09, v2.3 on iPad, iOS v6.1.3), I want to erase contents in an area with more than 1 cell, e.g. 10 cells, without erasing/deleting the formatted background colour.
    Using a right click on cells using Numbers on a Mac (Mac, OS X v10.8.4) you can differentiate between "delete content of cell" (where the background is maintained) and "delete all" (where both the content AND the background is deleted).
    Please, I need help.
    Kindly,
    Henning154

    Just select the cells you want to delete and hit the delete button.
    That works on my machine (Macbook Pro).
    The background remains unchanged.

  • I have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it.  what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing

    okay from reading posts it seems if I transfer my backed up info from my old comp to the new one and erase my dad's phone's back up i could reset my phone and it would transfer all my old data back onto the phone, be linked to the new computer and i could proceed.  Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?
