Can't connect to other iTunes without deleting all songs

I really hope someone out there can help me. I have an iPod shuffle and my sister an ipod mini and when my sister wants to take music from my iTunes she has to agree to delete all the songs on her iPod and install her iPod on my library and the same for me. is it just like that or can you fix that so you can connect to any computer and any music library on any computer??? please help me!

You sister however could put her Mini in to Manuel mode on her computer and than download songs from your computer without a problem though. For some reason Apple doesnt support manual mode with the Shuffle.

  • How can i use an ipod on my itunes that is not connected to my itunes without deleting the song already on it

    it is an ipod a friend gave me because i lost mine but i want to keep some songs that are already on the ipod and i also want to delete songs off

    Well, the best way is to restore the backup that you made before you reformatted the Windows machine.
    Barring that, open iTunes, go to Preferences, Devices, and check the box to disable automatic sync. Then connect the phone to your computer, and go to the File menu, Devices/Transfer Purchases. This should copy all of the iTunes content on your phone to your computer.

  • Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop.  It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music.  How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

    Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
    Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
    If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again.

  • How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

    How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

    Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com.  They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
    Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream.  If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll. 

  • How do I sync my iPhone to a new iTunes WITHOUT deleting all of my content?

    I had to totally reset my whole laptop and now my phone won't sync with the new iTunes without deleting everything- I obviously don't want to delete everything! HELP?!

    This is how it works.  Iphone will sync with only one library at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Sorry.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put all of your data back on your computer, then sync.

  • How can I sync my iPad3 with my new computer's itunes without deleting all my music?

    When I try to sync my music from my iTunes to my iPad3, itunes says that it will delete all my music, movies, etc currently on my iPad with what I have on my current iTunes. I have music and movies on here from at least one other computer using the same Apple ID. I was able to just highlight and drag all my music to my iPad (which caused a lot of duplicates), but my itunes really just does not want to cooperate with my iPad. Everything I try to do it just wants to either delete what I already have or not work at all.

    You can sync your iOS device with a single iTunes Library. So if you sync your iPad with your present iTunes library all the music and videos would be deleted.
    You can always transfer the media from your old iTunes library to the new one if they are on different commuter using a USB drive and then add those media to the new iTunes library and sync your iPad then.

  • Why does itunes match delete all songs from my iPhone leaving me music less in the mountains! :(

    i went through a drive through the mountains recently needless to say with out radio, only sourse of music... my precious iphone. well aparently after i had subscribed to itunes match it felt the need to go behind my back and delete all the songs i had previously on my phone! *** apple? i had to do an emergency pull over and yank out my macbook and when i pluged it in sure as could be no music stored on the phone so i was apparently streaming music chewing up a huge chunk of my data in little over two hours!i had to shut off itunes match on the macbook and the iphone and sync again just to get some music!!!
    There has to have a solution!! why did it do this? Did anybody else have similiar issues?

    I have the same problem and I'm not sure this addresses it.  I want to subscribe to iTunes match using my Mac; the intention being that I can then remove all the subset of my tunes from the ipad mini, and when travelling listen to music on the iPad mini via iTunes Match.
    So the question still remains, does the music stored on my iPad mini get automatically removed when i subscribe to iTunes Match, or do I have to remove it??
    Also, my iPad mini is showing that 1.8GB of storage is taken up by music at the moment, will all of this be freed if I subscribe to iTunes match and delete the music (irrespective of whether this is done manually or via an automatic delete).
    Thank you

  • Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

    I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • Can I start a new itunes without losing all the data on my phone and the progress on my apps?

    I want to break off of the family account my iDevices have been attached to since 2005. All of my phone's data is in my own personal iCloud on my email, and I created an itunes account on the same email. I know I'll probably lose all of my songs, but can I salvage app progress and text messages? Or does home sharing allow me to not get all the music they have downloaded on my account? I'm really confused by all of this but I know I need to break off the account eventually.

    iDevices are designed to sync to only one computer/library.
    Attempts to sync to a different computer/library will replace the content that currently exists on the device with content from the new computer.
    Bottom line, you WILL lose the content on the device.

  • Connecting iPod to new Powerbook without deleting all songs?

    I know that there's a button combination to hold when you connect your iPod to prevent from an auto-sync that erases everything on the iPod, but I cannot remember it. I'd look in the manual, but I lost it!
    Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
    - Pat Francis

    I'm in the same boat: I'm stuck until I remember that button combination to hold down to prevent auto-sync from erasing everything. I even looked in the manual today but couldn't find it. Would very much appreciate this information!
    Best,

  • Help!! Connecting ipod to new laptop deleted all songs!

    My daughter got a new laptop for college. In fact she is leaving in the morning-- but disaster struck and she may not be taking her music with her!!! While trying to install the ipod software on the laptop all her songs disappeared! We then went back to the PC the ipod originally linked with and were unable to re-load the songs- it also looked like some of the buttons that had been there with itunes disappeared. The other thing we did at the same time was to update the software, as we were prompted to do. What happened and how can we get the songs back on the ipod and her new computer? We started to back them up on a CD but the CD does not include the names and artists for some reason. Please help.

    hmmmmm.
    even though you don't have a Toshiba, perhaps try disabling the high-speed USB interfaces on that PC. (no need to restore ... we're just checking to see if you can get recognition and a sync with them turned off.)

  • How do you restore your iPhone without deleting all your apps?

    Ok so I'm trying to remove Cydia from my iPhone 4, and I wanted to make sure it's fully removed. I managed to delete the app straight from my iPhone by force deleting the Cydia Installer package, and the icon is totally gone my iPhone. I deleted it because the jailbreak is eating up my battery. However, I don't think the jailbreak is completely removed.
    Question: How do you restore your iPhone from iTunes without deleting all your apps and everything from your iPhone? Like when I click restore it says it will delete it and you will have to repurchase your apps. I have tons of apps and I don't want to spend my money for the same thing twice! I want to know how (step-by-step) to back up and restore your iPhone without it messing with any of the photos, apps, etc.
    Also, will updating your firmware to 4.1 wipe out the jailbreak?
    Thanks a ton.

    How do I know if it's on my computer?
    If you bought the apps via iTunes, they will be on your computer. If you bought them with the iPhone, syncing would have transferred them. Look for them in:
    ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications
    Photos taken with the iPhone are transferred via iPhoto or Image Capture when the phone is connected to the computer. Other photos on the phone must have been synched from the computer, so should still be there.

  • My 4th generation ipod wont update without deleting all of my Media. I dont want to do that. What do I do?

    I have a 4th generation 64 gb iPod Touch. I had a laptop that it was synced with but it crashed. Everytime I try to update it pops up a messege saying "Erase all media and update". I do not want to do that. It wont even let me put more music on it. Im not sure what to do..Im scared because its a 64gb iPod i love it to death. It is all I own. How can I put music on it without deleting all of my media. Or where can I store all the media to restore later?

    I realize that, but I was just updating to the most recent software when I got an error message & now it's just showing I need to restore. Is there a way to back it up first or avoid the resetting to factory?

  • I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
