Cant sync from 2 diffrent computers (movies/games)

I bought 2 games and 2 movies from my other laptop,then sync it to my ipod classic. but now when i try to load all my audio from my main computer it will ask me to either erase and sync or tranfer purchases. also said that this ipod is all ready has a library . so i click transfer and it said these items(games/movies) could not be transfered because you are not autherizedto play them on this computer." so i autharized them then another window poped up and said, you have autharized a total 1 machines out of your five avalable. but my audio is still not on my computer or ipod. so can someone tell me what im doing wrong?

The iphone does not have the option to manually manage like the ipod. When you connected the iphone, and tried to sync the movie or video, you should have received a notice stating "The iphone was synced with another library. Would you like to erase this iphone and sync it with this itunes library?"
This function does not touch anything that is in the info tab, but all other data, as in music, video, pod-casts, would be replaced. Which is what you experienced.
So, if you want to sync music and videos, they need to be in the same itunes library. If you want to periodically move the movies from one computer to another, I would suggest burning to dvd and adding to library on the other computer. This is also a good idea, because in the process you create a back-up of what you are moving.

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

  • I cant sync from Typekit

    Hi
    I cant sync any fonts from typekit, I only get this message:
    "Unfortunately, desktop font sync isn’t currently available on this device. Learn more."

    Hi all,
    Joining the thread to confirm that the Creative Cloud application is available for OS X 10.7 (and higher) and Windows 7 (and higher). If you are on a different OS version, you won't be able to sync fonts because the software isn't available for it. 
    You would need to updated your OS to a higher version in order to use fonts from Typekit. I'm sorry that there isn't another option we can offer you at this time, but please let me know if you have any other questions! 
    Best,

  • Sync from 2 Different Computers

    I want to be able to sync the iPhone Music from one machine (mac) and video from another (PC). Reason is my work PC at this time is much faster and I convert videos to iPhone format (using Handbrake) on the PC versus the Mac and is about 15 times faster (1+ hour veruse 15 hours!.
    Problem - the music was wiped clean from the iPhone when I loaded the video even though on the PC I unchecking sync for all but video.
    info - off
    music - off
    photos - off
    Podcasts - off
    Video - TV off and Movies on.
    Result - Contacts, calendar, bookmarks, photos, and mail all remained untouched.
    Music - WIPED clean.
    Podcasts - WIPED clean
    Video - new movie showed up, old trailer VIDEOS wiped.
    I expected the last result as the trailers were uploaded from the Mac not the PC. Why did it wipe the MUSIC clean?
    Why have the option to NOT SYNC an item if it does it anyway?

  • I need to get my iPod touch 4 and iPad 1 in sync from 2 different computers

    I have a very specific situation that I've been unable to find an answer for.  Please help!  Here's my current situation:
    I've synced my iPad to my iMac G5 PowerPC using my AppleID account that I always use.  I've synced my iPod touch 4th gen to my iBook G4 using the same account.  I thought that after signing in under that ID, I would be able to download the apps that I already purchased for iPad on the iBook.  I found out that was not the case and trying to sync my iPad(in it's current iMac-synced state) to the iBook would result in the erasure of everything on it.
    What I would like to do is be able to start syncing my iPad with the iBook but not lose anything.  And then beyond that, have my iPod and iPad both in perfect sync-same apps, same everything.  Can I do this?

    The iBook is running which OS X version?
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the device first.
    You can re-download 3rd party apps and you won't be charged again for a paid app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

  • No sound cant play videos on other computers, movie maker doesnt work VADO HD

    Q On my new Vista machine, I decided just to install K-lite codec pack (Standard edition). This installs ffdshow and a nice media player.

  • Syncing from iPhotos with .mov that cannot be played?

    I get a message when syncing from iPhoto because a .mov file cannot be played on my iPad. What options do I have besides checking [] Do not warn me again?

    That will be a way to get it to my iPad. I expect it will still fail to synchronize with my iPhoto.
    When I check of to not tell me that the synchronization failed, will it only do so for that particular item? Is there a way to select an album with my iPhoto sync, but exclude that particular video?

  • Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

    I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
    I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
    Natalie

    I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

  • Cant Sync Rental movies to Iphone 3gs

    I have an Iphone 3GS (version 4.1) and a Mac. I cant sync my rented movie to my iphone. I clicked on the movie tab, clicked move (moves movie from "rented Movies box to Iphone box), clicked apply. Half way through the sync, the movie moves back to the "rented movies" box. Nothing happened. No error codes or warnings or anything. Nothing on my iphone. I cant Clear my "sync-history"--- supposedly it helps, but i cant actually do it there is no such thing as clear sync history. hooray for extremely long download times and completely ridiculous sync methods.

    I think the way to get pictures onto your iPhone, is to have a database of pictures in a folder in My Documents. When your iPhone is device connected to iTunes, goto the pictures tab for your device and you should be able to check off the folder that you made. When you sync, the pics should move over to the iPhone.

  • ITunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync.

    iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • HT201250 if I used external hard disk for backup time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

    If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
    If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it
