Can't sync movie from iPhone to without losing all my songs

I recently bought a 1GB movie directly to my iPhone and I want to back it up on my computer. I have "manage movies and songs manually" checked on the summary page, but when I try to drag the movie over it doesn't take. When I click the sync movies option I get a warning that I'm going to lose all my songs, which I don't want to do. Can someone tell me how to get this huge file off my phone so I can use that space for other files and purchases?

have you tried this ?
connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose +transfer purchases+ from the shortcut menu that appears.

  • I lost my itunes that my ipod was synced with how do i get to sync to my new one without losing all my songs

    i lost my itunes that my ipod was synced too.....i got a new itunes now so how do i sync my ipod without losing all my music

    Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848?viewlocale=en_USiTunes 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
    - To retain app data and other information, connect the iPod to yur computer and make a backup by right clciking 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 and music.

  • How can i sync music from different computer without losing pictures??

    my phone randomly "deleted" all of my music. It all shows up in itunes when I plug it into a computer. The only problem is MY compuer is currently out of commision and wont be fixed for at least a month. What Im trying to do is plug it into my friends computer and get music from her iTunes but when i go to move over specific songs a little window pops up that says my iphone can only be synced with 1 itunes at a time and that the current content will be erased if i do this. Im just not sure if this means all of the music content or all of the content including apps, pictures, etc. 
    all i need to know is how can i put music onto my iphone from someone elses itunes without losing my pictures or affecting any other content on my phone?

    Did they change that or is it just that way for iphone? because I know when i had an Ipod classic.. or whatever theyre called.. I could definitely get music from mulitple computers. I had music from at least 4 different itunes accounts when I had that ipod.

  • My old computer got stolen, how can I sync to a new itunes without losing all my contacts, and other stuff?

    So my old windows computer that my iphone was sync to got stolen, I bought a new MacBook Pro and it asking me to erase and sync What can I do to keep all my contacts, photos, and other data and sync my iphone then restore all my data? or anything similar you might think that could help. Please any information or tips will be helpful!

    The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
    In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

    You can transfer Itunes purchases by:

    You can transfer other stuff with the info provided in this previous discussion:

    You can also redownload apps at no additional cost:

    Once you get the stuff in the iTunes library of you new computer let iTunes erase your iPod and replace its contents with what is now in your iTunes library.

  • How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

  • Since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists

    since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists?

    My own opinion is that you should install the later appropriate version of Silverkeeper. That said, I would in fact recommend if you can wait a few days for an answer, that you email the La Cie Silverkeeper backup team via the email link on the site at http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/
    They are careful to say they are not officially providing a backup service, but when I emailed them with a query regarding usage about a year ago after downloading Silverkeeper for myself, I got a reply within a couple of days that cleared up my question.

  • HT1414 How do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing all of my photos and videos and contacts?

    how do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing my contacts photos and videos??

    Use the device as designed.
    Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be regularly copied off the device to a computer.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    If the device has been used as designed then at most, only a miniscule amount of data is at risk.  That data being pics/vids taken since the last time they were copied off the device.  Also at risk is app data created since the last backup to iTunes or iCloud.
    If the device is in recovery mode and it has not been used as designed, it is too late to salvage the data.

  • Can't sync movie from iPhoto to iPhone

    I tried to find a discussion of this, but couldn't see an answer. (Maybe there isn't one.)
    I have some AVI movies in iPhoto. I'd like to sync them to my iPhone. I think I did so many months ago, but can't replicate now.
    I tried dragging from iPhoto to iTunes. No luck. I tried dragging to "movies': no luck. I tried exporting from iPhoto: it seemed to work, but couldn't find the movie on iTunes.

    I think the movies have to be able to play in iTunes before you can view them on an iPhone.
    AVI is just a "wrapper" that can contain movies with many different codecs. Not all of them are viewable in iTunes. Many of the AVI's that I get can't play in Quicktime and I use VLC and I've added Perian and Flip4Mac to be able to play them at all. These codecs aren't available on the iPhone so the movies have to be in just the right format to work.
    There are many programs (looks like dozens) that can convert AVI's to be playable in iTunes. There are companies like Aimersoft, Xilisoft that sell programs that will do all sorts of conversions and optimizations for iPod/iPhone video.
    Here's a tutorial that uses Free methods: http://news.metaparadigma.de/?p=48
    Handbrake (free) is also supposed to be good for the job, but I don't use it anymore: http://handbrake.fr/
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i sync podcasts from iphone to itunes?

    Here's my situation:
    I have an iPhone 5c that I have always synced with iTunes on a laptop that belonged to my workplace. But I have left that job now, and with it, I have left the laptop. I now want to sync that same iPhone 5c on my iMac at home. This iMac has an iTunes that has NO podcasts on it ...
    But when I prepare to sync the phone in iTunes and I click the podcasts tab and check the "Sync Podcasts" checkbox, it asks if I want to delete all the podcasts on the iPhone. I definitely *don't* want to do this ... I want those podcasts on the iPhone to be part of my backup on the computer. Many of these podcasts are older and no longer available for download from their original sources.
    Is there any way that I can achieve this? It's not like I paid for any of these podcasts -- it's all free content, so I'm not breaking any copyright issues here.
    Thanks for any help....

  • Can't sync videos from iPhone to iPhoto

    Just bought a MacBook Pro. My daughter has sent me some videos from her iPhone to mine. When I try to sync from iPhone to iPhoto, the photos sync fine, but iPhoto doesn't see the videos, which are saved in the camera roll. Yes, I have checked "include videos" in the iTunes menu.
    The funny thing is that on my old G4 PowerBook, iPhoto would see the videos and import them just fine.
    What am I not doing?

    iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.

  • Can't sync photos from iPhone to PC

    About two weeks ago my iPhone stopped syncing pictures to my PC. I've tried deleting the iPod photo cache, restarting, and restoring. Nothing. Any ides?

    About two weeks ago my iPhone stopped syncing pictures to my PC
    First of all, photos are not synced from your phone to your PC. They are imported, just like photos would be from any digital camera. The actual photo sync is one way: computer to phone. Your phone is most likely not being recognized as a digital camera because of photos in your camera roll that were not taken by your phone, e.g.: photos saved from emails, MMS, or safari. If you have such photos in your camera roll, delete them. If you want to save them, email them to yourself & then delete them. See if your computer sees your phone as a digital camera after doing so.
