Can I sync my iPhone with more than one computer without losing everything on my phone?, Can I sync my iPhone with more than one computer without losing everything on my phone?

I accidentally synced my iPhone on a different computer and now when I try to sync to my laptop it says I have to erase everything on my phone. Can I sync without that happening?

No, you can only sync with one computer.

    I synced my iPhone with itunes and iMac and got many more contacts than I wanted on my iPhone. How can I delete quite a few of them at one time as opposed to deleting one at a time?

    iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
    When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
    Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
    For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
    Thank you

    This isn't a problem, but a question.
    1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
    Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
    if so then...
    2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
    On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
    The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
    Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
    Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

  • 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.

  • Can the iPhone sync with more than one computer?

    Hello, I have a Intel mac book pro and a G4 mac pro. I authorized the iphone on my mac book pro and want to use it with my G4 tower I get a OxE000004 error when I try to sync with itunes to down load my podcasts at work on my G4.

    That's interesting. I wonder why it works for me? I was very surprised when it did, I must say. But here's a possiblity: the computer where I sync the videos is my wife's (wanted to get her demo reel and commercials and they weren't on my computer) and she has NO music on her computer. The computer where I sync my music is MY computer, and I DO have videos set to sync to my iPod and a bunch of music, and the computer where I sync my contacts, calendar and email accounts is at work where I don't have any music or videos.
    I just sat down at work here and synced my calendar and I still have only 100MB of free space. Last night, I left it plugged into my computer, and I still see the videos that I synced from my wife's computer on it.

  • I got rid of all 5 of our iphones because of iTunes.  I am stuck with an iPad mini and can't get it to sync more than once wirelessly without rebooting the mini and the computer (PC).

    I see hundreds of people on the internet having the same problem. Is there any cure.

    iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

  • Syncing iPhone with more than one Mac

    Up to now I've synced my iPhone with just one of my Macs, the main desktop machine that sits at home. However, when I'm away from home for more than a few days I miss the ability to sync podcasts, applications and do backups.
    Is there a way of syncing the phone with a second (or third) Mac without having to have the full iTunes library on those computers? I would like to be able to backup the phone, sync apps and podcasts. Music and videos do not matter as long as the sync doesn't wipe existing copies from the phone. Incidentally, I use MobileMe for syncing calendars and contacts, so that isn't an issue. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    I think that without the steps in that 'minefield' the iPhone will detect a change of Mac and even if all the content is on the other Mac, it will all have to be re-loaded onto the phone. Probably not a good idea to keep the library remotely, I expect. But, copying the whole library may work - if you have the time, it's worth a try. Just sync the iPhone to your desktop machine first so the backup is updated, then copy over the library to the portable, then try syncing there. If it works, great. If not, you can Restore the iPhone from the desktop if you need to.

  • Can my iPhone 4 be synced to more than one computer?

    I don't have access to the original computer that my iPhone 4 was synced too. I have a new iPhone 4s due to a contract upgrade, and want to transfer the information from my old phone to my new. However, when my boyfriend has tried to synch it with his computer, by choosing the backing up option in iTunes nothing actually happens. I really don't want to lose the information on my old phone. What can I do please?

    The short answer is no. You can't sync to more than one computer at a time.
    The longer answer is contained in one of the many many threads about this exact same subject that are already posted in these forums.

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • HT4528 I have an Iphone 4 CDMA. Can you pair it with more than one vehicle through HFL? I have Hondas. Also my new CRV receives texts through the Nav. It says this phone is non-compatible. Is there some software that needs downloaded?

    Can you pair through bluetooth my phone to more than one vehicle? My new Honda CRV receives text messages. However it says my Iphone 4 CDMA is not compatible. Is there software I need to download to my phone?

    If it works anything like Ford Sync, you can pair the same phone to different vehicles, as long as you set up separate Bluetooth profiles on the iPhone for each vehicle.
    As far as Texts go, you won't be able to get them in your vehicle because the iPhone doesn't have the software protocols to do it.  FWIW, I can't get texting from my iPhone 4S in my new Lincoln with Ford Sync either.
