Can you sync Iphone 3gs to 2 computers?

I have a computer that I put all my songs on then got a laptop for christmas so I downloaded Itunes to it and started using that Itunes. I bought games and songs and everytime I try to sync the songs it makes me delete my old songs hat I downloaded from my old computer. If you know what I can do please reply.
Thanks.

No. The iPhone does not support disk mode as is supported with some iPods which allows for manually managing music and videos with an iTunes library on more than one computer.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.

  • Can you Sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013

    Can you sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013? Everything mail, contacts and calender.

    Hey Mark
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
    We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
    If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
    I hope this helps you out.

  • Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers.

    Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers it syncs with? I have three computers I use daily in different location and have thunderbird on each computer. I find it time consuming to have to repeatedly delete the same emails from each location. I am thinking that by leaving the emails on the server and not downloading them in each computer would solve this. Is my assumption here correct? If not? How would you set up Tbird to sync?

    If you set up your email account(s) as IMAP instead of POP3, then each computer / smart phone can view the mail, but if any of them delete a message (or move it to another folder on the server), the same action will be seen on the other computers.

  • How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

    How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Can you charge iphone 3gs on macbook

    Hi my iphone 3gs will sync when i connect to usb port, but it will not charge from my macbook, this is the first time i have tried it, since my 7 year old imac just died and used that for all my itunes and apple tv server any ideas ?

    With the new A/V cable you get a USB port for charging during viewing.
    The line out jack on the dock is for audio. You can dock your phone and have it hook up to your stereo or speakers.

  • "upgraded" to laptop with Windows 7.  Can't sync iPhone 3GS

    I recently had a computer upgrade. iTunes is up and running on the new unit. I cannot sync the iTunes (music and apps) to my iPhone. I run diagnostics and all is good. It tells me I need to quthorize my computer, when I try to, I am told that my computer cannot connect to iTunes. The diagnostics test results say otherwise.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers.
    Joelapalooza

    I did try that but to no avail...
    The issues seems to be that since upgrading to Windows 7, I can't authorize or deauthorize the computer which is preventing me from syncing all the music/apps I have purchased from iTunes.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers.

  • Can you transfer iPhone 3GS to the 4S?

    Does this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109) still work moving from a 3GS with IOS4 to a new 4S with IOS5?

  • Can you sync from iPhone to PC?

    Can you sync from iPhone 3GS to PC, instead of the other way 'round?

    The syncing of iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from iTunes on your computer, or from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after purchasing/downloading music, video, or 3rd party apps with your iPhone.
    iTunes content is not kept synchronized but is part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not kept synchronized either. The transfer of photos is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
    The only bi-directional or true sync process is for contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on your computer. The same for notes if you are using a supported application on your computer for syncing notes.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as photos, documents, etc. All iTunes content is stored in an iTunes named folder. With iTunes quit on your new computer, place the copy of the iTunes named folder from your old computer in the appropriate location for access by iTunes on your new computer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. First you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device or as a storage device to transfer data from one computer to another.

  • Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

    Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
    I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

    No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

  • Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    No you don't. You log into iTunes with your Apple ID but you can use one Apple ID for iTunes and a different Apple ID for iCloud. On your device go:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and sign in with a new Apple ID
    This will only change the Apple ID for iCloud and both devices will continue to download apps and backup to the shared iTunes account.
