Adding to a pre synced iPhone??

Dilemma:
Have an iPhone 4 wich is synced to an iMac, sync includes, iCal, contacts, notes, music, photo's, movies, music, etc... The works.
Problem is, I am currently travelling with my Macbook Air, with no library or syncs, and need to add an additonal Movie onto my iPhone, I realise if I connect it to my macbook, and check *Manually manage.. It will wipe the photos, music, movies etc, I am obivously avoiding this at all costs.
My iCloud only holds my iCal, and contact info, so that is not an option either.
Is there a way to add to a Pre-synced iPhone from another itunes library??
Regards

Don't try or you will have a mess on your hands.  Instead try transferring the movie wirelessly using an app like PhotoSync.  It will transfer the movie to your Camera Roll.  (If the movie isn't "iPhone ready", import it to iTunes on your MacBook Air, create and iPhone version (iTunes>Advanced>Create iPod or iPhone version), drag that version to your desktop and transfer that using the app.

  • Adding Content Without Completely Syncing iPhone

    Is there any way to add new content (i.e.- Ringtones, Pictures, etc.) to my iPhone without completely erasing and reloading my phone. Because I'm using a different computer than normal and I don't want my other content over-written, but I'd like to add 2 new ringtones.

    You can set the iPhone to manually manage music and videos in iTunes. You then click the apply button. Now you can click on the iPhone in the left pane and drag and drop music and videos and ringtones without syncing. I'm not sure about photos, I haven't tried that yet.

  • I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes  - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

    Is it because the new itunes looks different.

    Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

  • What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

  • My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong?

    My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, txstan

    Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
    Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
    Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account.

  • Syncing pre-3G iphone via Mobil me?

    So, I am one of the few that don't buy the latest and greatest widget every time one is introduced. So I'm still using my pre-3G iPhone which cannot run IOS 4.xx I'm maxed out at 3.1.3. The update for iCal came out (which requires 4.1 at least) and now I have lost the ability to sync between my phone (which I carry with me at ALL times) and Mobil me (and hence my laptop and my iPad). Is there another way to sync these devices? I can't afford a new phone a this point.

    I have the same problem and the iTunes/cable solution does not work. New events in the iPhone do not go to iCal and new events in iCal do not go to the phone. This is a very serious problem for me. I plan to wait for the next phone (5?) before I up grade and I use the calendars daily. Anyone have a solution?

  • Why is there missing info in the windows address book fields after syncing iphone 4 contacts?

    I am reaching the end of my rope trying to deal with syncing/backing up contacts and other "non copyright protected" content from my iphone 4 and my desktop (and preferably my laptop as well).  I've spent literally days trying to solve this problem with ultimately no solution.  So, cutting through my MULTIPLE issues and focusing on one primary I need help backing up my contacts from my iphone 4 to ANY computer.  Here is what I am working with:
    A relatively ancient (5yrs) Window XP desktop with virtually no contacts in Windows Address Book and with only the native Outlook Express on it.
    An iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 that was initially and is still setup/synced with the above XP box (minus checking the sync contacts box).
    An iphone 4 contact list that is primarily populated by about 200 contacts transfered from an old ATT SIM from the previous ancient phone.
    A new Windows 7 laptop that I would love, love, love to use in conjuction with the XP for syncing/backing up not protected, personal data and iphone purchases.
    So, with that in mind I have been syncing my phone with the XP w. the "manual manage music..." box checked and all other syncing options other than apps unchecked.  I wanted to backup by contacts for emergency recovery and to allow sycncing for the increasing business contacts.  Should be easy right?  Not so much.  I tried clicking the "sync contacts w/ windows address book" option and then synced.  I go to WAB and the contact list is there.  However, if I look w/in each contact the fields are not filled in.  If it was a contact that had name, number, address on my phone the WAB version has the name listing but nothing in the number/addy fields.  Now, this is true w/ virtually every contact and most were from that SIM transfer.  HOWEVER, contacts that I added ON the iphone (ie manually w/ the phone) DO have complete information.
    So, what do I do to make an actual, complete backup of all the contacts on my iphone w/o having to manually reinput all of the real information??  I'm frankly terrified that in trying multiple solutions I will lose all my phone contacts which at this point in my life would be absolutely devistating (ie I would probably lose my job).  If it is a matter of newer hard/software I would gladly sync to the new Win 7 laptop instead but there I run into the other aggrivation of apple making it so bloody difficult to use one ios device with more than one personal computer.  I'm dumbfounded and frustrated on soooooo many levels and would send countless good vibes to anyone who can help!   Advice?  Solutions?  I'd promise my first born but who wants that these days...?  Help, please! ;-)
    BTW, sorry for the long wind but I'll add on my "optimal solution" if anyone is feeling especially helpful and has an answer:
    I'd like to be able to plug my iphone into both my XP desktop and my Win 7 laptop and sync/backup to both freely (that is after all the real intent of syncing, non?)  I don't care about music, videos, or other protected content.  I manage that manually and frankly, I can do without having on the iphone as long as I can accomplish being able to sync/backup/restore all the iphone stuff like apps, settings, personal info, and contacts to both the desktop and the laptop.  The purpose is that I need to be able to use and recover everything (on the road or at home) if either my laptop or my iphone dies/disappears.  But, understanding impermanence as it relates to portable devices, I want a solid backup of everything at home waiting on my desktop.  Is that really too much to ask apple??? 

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....

  • How can I sync Iphone to a PC calendar then have multiple users share that calendar? Is there an application that does that?

    How can I sync Iphone to a PC calendar then have multiple users share that calendar? Is there an application that does that?

    If it is actually an exchange calendar, and it's not linked to a specific user, it should be possible to simply add the exchange account to each device in question and have that exchange account only sync the calendar.  Then every user has access to the same calendar and can add/edit entries to the calendar as needed.
    The same would apply if it were a Google calendar added via Exchange.
    If the calendar is not actually on Exchange, but rather added from an outside source, it will depend on that outside source where the calendar originates.

  • Adding & removing music on the iPhone

    as a long-time iPod user, I immediately see that the way the iPhone uses music is very different -
    is there a tutorial somewhere that describes the differences? I can't quite figure them out on my own - so far it seems that you can't just open the music library, the way you can with an iPod, and you can't drag & drop folders of music right into it.
    so far, the only way I have found to do that is to sync a playlist - and I still don't know how to get music OFF of the iPhone - or how to directly access the music library, the way one can with an iPod...

    WillFriedwald2,
    The iPhone supports automatically syncing which was one of the ways to sync with your iPod. It sounds like you are more familiar with manual syncing which is not supported on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
    The iPhone mirrors what is in the playlists you are syncing. If you remove a song from a playlist that is synced to the iPhone, the next time the iPhone syncs, the song will be removed from the iPhone.
    I use 3 playlists, plus the "Recently Added" smart playlist when syncing with my iPhone. I share an iTunes library at home with my wife, and our tastes in music are completely different. However, there is some music we both like, and if she adds a song, it will sync to my iPhone for 2 weeks, during which time I can decide to put it in one of my playlists.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Playlists wont sort by latest date added like in itunes on iphone on ios5

    After updating to ios5 on my iphone 4, my playlists that i made are the same as in my itunes (currently displayed on itunes as the latest date added to the oldest i.e. newest to oldest). My iphone syncs it as the oppoiste, even though in itunes is newest to oldest. any ideas?

    Exactly same problem. I have a playlist sorted by "date added". Just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and it got a mess. Apparently, the first songs are showing on the bottom of the list - and even if I change it on iTunes to "invert" the playlist, it shows the same way on the iPhone.
    It wouldn't be a big deal if the playlist didn't have more than 2000 songs (it's really frustrating to scroll all way to the bottom to find the first song). Hope Apple fix it soon.

  • Syncing iPhone music with Two computers is not happening

    I had the iPod touch and sold it in anticipation of the iPhone. On the iTouch you could sync it perfectly with two machines even three or four.
    My beef is that the music libraries can't be read or added to from more than one computer. I work in a recording studio and am always adding songs from different computers and this feature is crucial. What I always loved doing was plugging in my phone to my home computer and listening to my days work through its speakers. This is very frustrating as every time i want to add a song from home i have to erase all my songs on the iPhone. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!
    Does anyone know a work around for this?

    I'm having this problem with purchased ringtones. Unaware of the fact that you can only sync iPhone from only one computer, I purchased several ringtones on another of our authorized computers (same account) while I was literally in another state. When I tried to add them to my iPhone, I got the message telling me my existing iPhone ringtones would be deleted/replaced if I proceeded, so I didn't. Now I have purchased ringtones sitting on a computer that can't be used on the only iPhone I own. This seems an irrational policy.
    Since there is only one purpose for ringtones, you should be able to 'add' them to your iPhone when purchased on any of your authorized computers - you have paid for them after all. Is there a way to export them from one authorized computer to another (the one you normally use to sync your iPhone)?

  • After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible

    After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible- and similarly small ovals appear when cursor is placed where tabs should be.

    Very many thanks to you, Putaro!  Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
    You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
    But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
    I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
    I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
    If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
    My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

  • Pre-owned iPhone

    I have just purchased a pre-owned iPhone. The previous user did not reset or restore the phone. In order to rename the phone to sink with iTunes I think I need to restore all settings and start from scratch. I have inserted a new SIM card and registered with iTunes to activate the phone and I can send and receive calls, but the previous owners name still comes up in the settings>>general>>about.
    Q1. Is there a way to keep the current music loaded on the phone that has been bought and paid for?

    Hi dave990,
    It sounds like you synced the iPhone then restored and recovered from backup. To setup the iPhone like new, just restore and choose setup as a new iPhone instead of recover from backup.
