  • How do I sync iTunes playlists on my iPhone with iTunes Match?

    My experience with iTunes Match so far has been mixed.  On one hand, the face of iTunes on one computer to the next is virtually identical, and the streming over the wi-fi from the laptop at work to my home computer is perfect.  At the same time, iTunes Match on my iPhone seems terrible.  Playlists don't sync and are deleted from my iPhone.  Songs that are already on my phone, for some reason, still make my phone spin and drain my battery life.  Even after disabling the "allow cellular data over 3G" message, or whatever it is, is turned off, still the phone keeps spinning and draining battery life.  So, in one sense, iTunes Match is nice because I can access my music from multiple computers, but in another, the mobile connection - which should be awesome and seemless - is terrible.  Is there a way, aside from turning iTunes Match off, syncing manually to iTunes, and loading my playlists like the old way (which isn't a perfect science now, either)...Basically, how can I sync my playlists from iTunes on my computer to iTunes on my iPhone using iTunes Match?

    With iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device direct syncing with iTunes via USB or Wi Fi is disabled. To sync in the traditional way iTM must be disabled on the iOS device. At this time is it either/or.

  • How do I sync itunes with my ipod touch without erasing my songs

    I buy my songs using the wifi store on my itouch, then I transfer them to my pc. When I synced it, it told me it will have to erase my songs, since I already transfered the songs, I would. But there was a "problem syncing" and it erased my songs and I had to BUY them again. How do I sync it

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Then connect the iPod to your computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod fom that backup.
    You can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do you sync iTunes library for two user accounts?

    Hello
    I have a MacBook with two user accounts - myself and my wife.
    I have to do this because we both have iPhones and we need to keep our sync-ing separate or we would just keep overwriting each others preferences.
    I have an iTunes library and so does my wife.
    Problem...
    I recently imported some songs using my account that my wife wants on her iTunes. When I logged out of my account and went into hers the songs I imported were not there!!
    Question...
    How do you marry and update the libraries of both accounts so no matter which iTunes library you access (my account or hers) you have all the available songs in both?
    I have tried trawling through some of the zillion posts here, but the prospect of spending hours and hours was just too much to contemplate!!!!
    So if i've asked a question that has already been asked and dealt with please forgive me - or better still if you know where the needle would be in this haystack a link would be very much appreciated!
    Many Thanks in Anticipation.
    Mr Totsy

    Hi ffiti
    I have done a bit of cleaning up on my Mac (OCD!) and made a bit of an ar*e of things - can you help?
    I went into my wife's account and wiped all iTunes files and stored songs.
    This was done because some songs were on my iTunes library and some were not on hers - so I just wiped the lot off and started again...I know it gets even better...
    I then went into my user account and wiped off everything there too...
    I went on the Apple website and downloaded the latest iTunes 11.0.4 I think and reinstalled an empty library from scratch - that way I will be only filling one library full of songs - I also took the media file out of the shared folder and reset it back to its default position
    I went to sync my iPhone and now it tells me I can only sync one device with one library - so how do I sync my phone without it deleting everything and replacing it with nothing?!!!!
    I doesn't matter how great Apple products are they just can't account for human idiocy !!!
    Regards,
    Mr Totsy

  • How do I sync on 2 different computers without it deleting my stored music?

    I have songs on my home computer loaded on my iPhone, & I have songs/albums loaded on my work computer. Is there a way to sync the 2 different computers using my iPhone? for instance, I have a new CD I downloaded onto my work computer that I want to add to my iPhone but it says it is going to delete all the music I have loaded on my phone already. can I add this CD to my iPhone & not delete all my music? When I sync my iPhone then to my home computer I'd like the CD to be added to that computer as well.
    Thank you for your assistance with this & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

    But is it possible to (specifically) sync regularly with my PC iTunes library (as that computer has the larger HD), but everything else (contacts, photos, Mac Mail, etc.) to sync regularly on my Mac, sans hoops each time.
    Correct, but you aren't syncing email account mailboxes and messages via the iTunes sync process. There is an option to transfer selected email account settings to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process and after the account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone, there is no reason to continue including this as part of the sync process.
    In regards to iTunes content, you can sync an iPhone with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and you can transfer photos to your iPhone from a single computer only. You can sync contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.

  • Best way to sync iTunes on 2 computers?

    Hi
    Can anyone suggest the best way to sync iTunes between 3 macs Mac Pro & 2 Macbook pros.
    I edit and rate the music on the desktop so it's not as much about the mp3 files as much as it is not having to reinput the metadata 3x.
    Also the iTunes folder on the desktop is on a secondary drive not the HOME folder.
    When I DJ on Traktor it looks for the location of the mp3 files and if they are listed as being on another drive then it can't find them.
    I used iTunes Ranger about 5 years ago and although it was slow it worked fairly well across 3 DESKTOPS but their website only lists up to Mac OSX 10.6.
    Thanks in advance
    Enio

    I found this on Tuneranger page even though the site for the app creator seems dead
    Q: The ratings, playcounts, etc. from my iPod won't copy over to my iTunes when using TuneRanger.
    A: TuneRanger only supports syncing of iTunes metadata (tags not part of the music files such as ratings, playcount, etc) when doing an iTunes to iTunes sync over a network. We don't support syncing metadata to/from the iPod. All the tag info embedded in the files is transferred but those fields proprietary to iTunes are not.
    Does anyone know how to sync BPM and Comments when iCloud is NOT an option? (I don't have internet when I am dj'ing nor would I want to depend on access from the server in a pro situation)

  • How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

    I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

    You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

  • Syncing iTunes on Multiple Computers

    I have iTunes 7 installed on 3 PC's. Each one contains different songs that are presently on my iPod. I would like to sync (download) all of my songs from my iPod to all the computers I am using to keep everything in order. most of the songs are from CD's and a few iTune purchased albums. Is there a way of doing this?
    Thanks very much!

    Manually you can do it with third party programs, but I don't know of a way to automatically do it across several computers to one iPod.

  • Syncing Itunes from 2 computers to your Iphone4s

    I had music on 2 computers that I purchased through Itunes. When I tried to transfer one set of songs to the other computer it synced (songs showed up on that computer's itunes), but now won't let me put those songs on my Iphone4s? How do I get those songs to sync with my phone.

    The iPhone is only designed to be synced with one computer.
    As soon as it is synced to another, everything from the first is erased.
    It is designed to work that way.

  • How do i sync Itune accounts with out loosing all of my music on one account

    I am a new Itunes account user and would like to sync with my mothers account because that is where all of my music is but i do not know how to sync two seperate accounts to do so. If you know how or have anny other way of helping please do so. Thank you

    If it is purchased music, it will stay with her account.  Purchased from the iTunes store.  If the music is from stuff you or she ripped (imported from) cd's, that can be synced to your phone using iTunes.
