How can I sync music to my phone from my laptop when I have an older library on an old computer?

It gives me this error message, "You cannot sync your iPhone because this itunes library is already synced to another computer. Would you like to erase the contents of this iPhone and replace them with this iTunes Library?"
I do not want to erase the contents of my iPhone and we no longer use that other computer where my iTunes was when I was like 12.

if you sync with another computer it will replace your current device content.
Peace, Clyde

    What you did was sync it to a computer. The iPhone can sync to ONLY one iTunes library at a time. you can't put media on it from multiple computers. It's been this way since 6/29/2007.

    Completely different issue. What did you think it would do when you set a passcode for the phone?

  • HT201272 How can I recover music I've purchased from iTunes store when my iTunes cannot find the file

    I cannot re-download music I purchased from the iTunes store.  I followed the instructions from iTunes support but that did not work. 
    When I find the music in the iTunes store under purchases, it states "downloaded" and will not let me re-download it.
    What other tricks are there to use.  I do not have the music on an iPod or CD because I always thought that once you bought it on iTunes, you could always re-download it if you got a new computor, etc.

    If they appear under the Purhcased link as 'downloaded' then do you still have them listed in your iTunes library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If youdo then iTunes assumes that you still have them somewhere, and that there is no need to re-download them - try deleting one of them from your library and it should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading.

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

  • 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.

  • How can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    how can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    iTunes will only sync with Apple devices.  You may find when you plug in your player it appears on hte desktop as another drive.  You can drag files from iTunes to that drive.  You may need to then place them in a special folder but all this is something for you to research since players differ.  We use a Sansa Clip and a RCA player with our iTunes library and that how we do it.
    Make sure your player can play the format files you have in your collection.  Our slightly older players will not play AAC which is the standard format used by the iTunes Store.  If you find that to be the case you will have to convert formats.

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.

    There is a checkbox on the 'info' tab in iTunes that will allow you to overwrite the address book on the phone with the one from the computer on the next sync.

    How can I view my photos in icloud from my laptop?  Thanks

    You cannot view then in iCloud.
    Photos in iloud are only there for 30 days then they are deleted.
    You need to regularly sync photos from iPhone/iCloud to your computer.
    Sync them from iCloud to your laptop wiht iPhoto for Mac or -> iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

  • How can I stop my Droid Razr-M from turning on when i plug in the charger?

    How can I stop my Droid Razr-M from turning on when i plug in the charger? I can turn it off and even wait a few minutes before plugging it in to the charger and it still turns on immediately when plugged in. If I turn it off after plugging in the charger, it turns back on right away too.

        I know its frustrating to have your phone powered on when dharger brazzco. Have you tried to to plug the phone into the charger then power the phone down? Are you u sing the wall charger or USB charger? Is the phone damaged? Keep us posted.
