    On the new computer, I am getting a message that my all purchases would be deleted if I sync it with new iTunes library.

    I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

    What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync.  Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes.  When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it.  Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone.  After selecting your apps then you can sync.  Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

  • Can I sync my iphone with 2 different Itunes Library without erasing data?

    Hello,. I would like to know if its possible to sync my iphone with two different Itunes library without data from first itunes library getting deleted when sync with second itunes library, (I mean, at least the music and videos)
    Thanks!

    iOS devices can only sync with one library at a time.  To sync with a new library, you have to remove the current libraries content.
    An alternative would be to move content to one computer (using an external drive or homesharing), and then sync with the library you choose.

  • How can I sync my iphone to a different itunes library without erasing my entire iphone

    I have synched my iphone to two computers. I want to synch one of my computers (because it contains more music files) to my iphone... the catch is I do not want to erase my entire iphone to do this.  I only want to erase my current iphone library for the one stored on my current desktop pc.  I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

  • Can you sync and iPhone 3GS with two computers?

    Hi all,
    I have itunes on 2 different computers - one on a desktop which is the home's media pc and has all the music and films on it.
    I also have it on my laptop and this is the machine my iPhone currently syncs with as it hold my contacts, calendar, apps, ringtones etc.
    Is there any way that I can put some of my music on my iPhone without physically having to copy the tracks to the hard drive of my laptop?
    I've tried this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202) and it doesn't seem to work.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    It doesn't work, as that article says:
    "iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices."
    There is no way to put media content from more than one computer onto an iPhone. You will indeed need to get all the tracks onto whichever computer you wish to have be your primary connection to your iPhone.
    Regards.

  • How do you sync an iPhone to two different computers?

    I just got my iPhone and was adding music to it, but I have my music on two different computers, both of which I have songs I want to add to my iPhone. I was just wondering if there is a way to sync music from two different computers without having to transfer all my music to one computer?

    iTunes includes a backup to disc feature with an option to backup content purchased from the iTunes Music Store only or all iTunes content - burned to CD.
    You can do this and then transfer your backed up iTunes data to the other computer.
    The iPhone was not designed nor intended to be a backup device or a transfer device of iTunes content from one computer to another as Ansuz82 provided to prevent music piracy.
    It is always the few that would abuse such a feature if available that spoils it for the majority that wouldn't.

  • How can I sync my Ipod on 2 different computers, one a macbook the other a PC laptop

    Ive been syncing my ipod with my Macbook.  I would like to be able to sync it with my new Laptop PC (windows 7) also.  At the moment, there is a wifi network in my home.  This will change eventually as I will be moving.  How can I sync with both without losing my data?

    iPods and other iOS devices can only sync to one iTunes library at a time. It is not possible to sync to two.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can I sync my iphone and ipad differently on itunes?

    Is there a way I can arrange to have my iphone and ipad sync with my single itunes separately? The thing is, there is music, movies, that I would like to have on both devices, but I want to keep iphone apps and ipad apps separate. In addition, I don't want to sync my music with ipad. Is there any way to isolate the two formats?

    I would like to be able to do this also but, i'm not sure how to set my iPad to manually sync for one thing and also, when I connect my iPad to my new (recently purchased,first time,new to this) iMac it only gives me the option to either set up as 'new' or 'restore to my recent iPhone back up'. I just want them to be separate. How can I fix this please?

  • Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

    I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
    But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

    Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
    You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.
