How are you able to sync 2 iOS decivies on my computer through iTunes without having the same apps, music, etc. on both?

How am i able to sync my iPod 4th GEN and my iPhone 4s on my computer through iTunes without having the same apps, music, etc. on both decivies?

You will need to setup separate user account s on the computer. That is the only true way to separate all data and info. User accounts show when the computer first starts up, then you choose yours. The screen to choose a user account may not appear if you only have one user account setup on the computer. On Mac, go to System Preferences>Accounts/Users and Groups>click plus at bottom left and follow prompts. Setup as administrator. PC...
Create a New User Account for Windows XP
From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
Open User Accounts.
Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. Setup as Administrator
Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu.
Log into the newly created user account.
Open iTunes and try syncing again.

  • Can you have two separate iPods on iTunes without having the same songs?

    My husband and I both have iPods but we don't want to same music on them. Really we would like to have two separate iTunes, so that I don't get his music and he doesn't get mine. Is that possible or do we just have to manually sync them?

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

    How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

    When you plug in the iPad iTunes will want to restore it/wipe it, so if you do not have the apps in your iTunes then you can copy the apps from the iPad to iTunes when plugged in by right clicking the iPad and selecting "transfer purchased..." which copies the purchases into iTunes.
    However as iTunes will only sync to 1 iTunes, it will then want to wipe your iPad, so you need to make sure you have everything in your iTunes that you want back on your iPad.
    This is to stop people taking their iOS device to a friends and then taking their paid songs/video/apps.
    If you still do not have all of the apps in iTunes, you can either download the Apps via the iTunes store or try and find an application that lets you sync from the computer to the iPad and via versa in place of iTunes.

  • How to sync my iOS devices to new computer's iTunes?

    How do I sync my iOS devices to my new macbook pro without deleting all the data?

    Transfer your iTunes library from the computer to which the device was previously synced.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • TS1538 Is there a fix for this? How can I get it to where my device will show up in itunes without having to reinstall itunes every single time?

    To get my Iphone 4 to show up in iTunes, I have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it EVERY single time I want to connect my device to iTunes. I've tried just using a wi-fi connection and that won't work. It's very annoying to have to go through all that trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes every time that I need to connect to my iTunes account. I first got this phone in Germany when I was visiting my uncle who was stationed there, he had got the phone from AT&T here in the U.S. while in Germany connecting to his computer to itunes was no problem, it'd connect without any issues. Then when I came home back to the states, my phone would no longer connect to itunes on my computer unless I unistalled and reinstalled, but my computer does recognize my device when I connect every time just itunes does not and I don't understand why it's doing that. Is there any way to fix this? How can I get my device to show up in itunes without having to reinstall it every time?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • 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.

  • How do you retrieve saved bookmarks off of Time Machine? I tried to do it the same way I retrieve Safari but it doesn't work

    Recently my Mac 0S X 10.6.8 was reconfigured to the original settings and I lost all my Firefox bookmarks.
    I was able to restore my Safari bookmarks from my harddrive and using the same method attempted to restore Firefox.
    That method didn't work.
    My harddrive does seem to have a Firefox Bookmark folder - how can I restore these?

  • Can I sync my device (iPhone/iPad) to a new iTunes without losing my old apps?

    My family and I have been sharing the same iTunes account for a while now. We have three iPhones and my iPad all using the same iTunes on our home desktop. I recently got my own Pro and want to creat my own itunes and sync my iPad and iPhone to it. I want to keep my three devices together and use iCloud only with my devices. Most of my apps are free so I know I can just download them again but I do have a few paid for apps like Pages that I do not want to lose and pay for again. Is there a way I can bring over my paid for apps to my new iTunes library???

    If you are using the same account again, disable autosync in iTunes, set up your account, set up at least one contact and event on your Mac, to be able to merge data during the first sync.
    Connect your device, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". This will back up your device without syncing. Transfer your purchases the same way, to copy all bought media and apps to your new library.
    The first sync will erase your device, but you can use the manual created backup to restore your settings and data again.
