How do i sync a iphone to an itunes account that isn't down loaded on my computer

I am trying to sync iphone 4 to my brother in laws itunes account useing my lap top, when I try it trys to sync with my itunes account instead of his accout? How do I sync his ipone 4 to his itunes account useing my laptop?

This is somewhat confusing. You're using your own laptop and trying to sync to someone elses iTunes account. What does that even mean? Media is stored in iTunes. Are you trying to get his music or something? a) That's illegal. b) it's NOT on your machine, it's on his.

  • How can I sync 2 iPhones w/ 1 iTunes account separately?

    I have 2 iPhones, 1 iTunes account (on one computer). I want the phones to sync separately - I don't want shared contacts, notes, calendars... nothing. I have separate playlists for music on the phones, which is working fine. Every time I sync contacts get screwd up or notes get deleted or iBooks or notes get copied from one phone to the other. I've tried many settings trying to stop this. I do NOT want a separate login for each phone.
    What are the right settings (or is the correct way) to sync 2 iPhones without copying or deleteing info from one or the other?

    An iTunes account is used for purchasing.

    Nothing gets copied from one iPhone to the other.
    Everything gets copied from iTunes/computer to iPhone.
    Select the iPhone iTunes, click the tabs across top and select what you want to sync.

    Then you are not going to be able to always sync different data.
    Notes are notes. It's sync them or not.
    Calendars and contacts you can select specific groups and calendars though I would recommend using iCloud (not iTunes) to sync this.

    how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
    Connect the device. 
    Select the device.
    Select Sync.
    In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default.  With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
    If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

  • I can't figure out how to log off of my daughter's iTunes account that has been loaded to my PC.  When I want to sync my iPhone, I get her data, not mine.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

    No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

    What do you mean "when I try to change the email on my itunes"?
    Where on itunes are you changing an e-mail?  and for what reason?
    Not sure at all what you are trying to do an it seems that you are confusing e-mail, itunes accoutns and libraries.
    Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

  • Syncing multiple iPhones with 1 iTunes account questions.

    Hello community.  Just had a few questions about my iphone and my wifes.  I have had an iphone for almost a year now and have had my login email address and password set up since the beginning.  I have the iphone 4.  My wife today received her iphone 4s in the mail.  I also currently have my iphone set up on the cloud to sync my contacts and calendar.  We also have an ipad 2 which is set up through the cloud and I am the only person who uses this for work purposes.  One of the main questions I have is how can I sync her iphone and mine using the same iTunes account on our Mac book we have and at the same time not have every purchase or app downloaded onto both phones?  I use a few apps for work which she doesn't want but if she was to sync with the cloud or itunes she doesn't want to constantly delete the app or un-select it from syncing to her phone.  Also we do enjoy playing some of the same games especially against each other but is ther a way for her to have her own seperate login for either downloading apps or a different login for getting into the game center?  Also since we share the same wi-fi network at home is there a way to make it so that when I get home or she gets home and had downloaded apps while away that they don't automatically get sent to each other's phones or the iPad which I use for work?  Sorry if I'm a little bit of everywhere with the questions but just trying to get this resolved the best we can.  Thank you for all your help!

    " how can I sync her iphone and mine using the same iTunes account on our Mac book we have and at the same time not have every purchase or app downloaded onto both phones"
    Each device will only sync what you select to sync.  If your wife does not want an app, then she should not select it to sync.
    " Also since we share the same wi-fi network at home is there a way to make it so that when I get home or she gets home and had downloaded apps while away that they don't automatically get sent to each other's phones or the iPad which I use for work?
    Again, if she does not select them to sync, then they will not sync.

  • How do i add my iphone to my itunes account

    I bought an iphone from someone and I do not know how to add it to my itunes account, the phone shows up when you first plug it in but when you click on where it says iphone it disappears.  I would appreciate anyones help.  I am wondering if it is still on that persons account.

    What do you mean "add another iphone to my itunes account"?
    If you want to use your account then go to settings and sign in.
    If you want to sync another iphone to your computer/library, then do so.  You can sync as many as you like.

    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.
