How do I sync my iphone with my itunes without deleting the music that I have on my iphone?
I just recently had my computer (windows) wiped because my hard drive crashed and I had to re- download itunes. When I try to sync my iphone to the new itunes I had to download, it keeps telling me my iphone doesnt recognize the new one I downloaded and it has to delete all the songs on my iphone to replace it with the itunes I just downloaded, which has no songs. Is there anyway I can just continue adding new songs onto my iphone without having to delete all the songs on it?!? help

How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad? I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.
No, they won't. Just create a second profile in iTunes for the iPad. You can then select only what you want synced to it completely separate from your iPod.

I deleted random bands and certain songs that I no longer wish to have on my iTunes or my iPod. So, they're all off of my iTunes, but still on my iPod. How do I delete only the items on my iPod that are no longer on my iTunes? Is there a way to sync them so ONLY what is on my iTunes appears on my iPod?
If you are synching all music that you have in iTunes on your computer then, when you next sync, any music not in iTunes but on the iPod should be removed.

I have music on my iphone that is not in my computer's Itunes library and visa versa, i would like to download a specific group of songs from my computer's itunes library to my Iphone's. The problem is I do not want to go through the entire process of syncing my entire library again and I fear that if do the songs that i have on the iphone will be deleated. is there a way this can be solved, maybe through icloud or something?
The home page '''''about:home''''' is built in to Firefox and should/would not be affected.
Though it should/would not affect '''''about:home''''', there is an entry for Mozilla on their list, if you are using some page at mozilla as your home page. On my installation that item on their list is shown as disabled; I do not recall disabling that item myself, therefore it could be their default (disabled) and they know that item is not functioning properly on their list.
You may be correct in that there could be a conflict with another add-on. The only way to determine that is to experiment by installing '''''HTTPS Everywhere''''', disabling/enabling a few extensions (or plugins), restart Firefox and repeat until you find the conflicting item.

The only other thing that comes to mind is a possible corruption of '''''HTTPS Everywhere''''' during download/installation.

Hi All,
I will describe my current setup and the required setup below. Please help me with the steps to do this
Current setup:
OS: Windows 7
Total Music collection: 80GB of mp3 , which is NOT added to itunes library (I use foobar)
iTunes Music collection: around 500 songs, synced to my iphone (unchecked "manually manage" that meeans all these songs are in itunes library)
Now the required setup: (Since I am planning to get a macbook pro)
OS: Mac OS (This means the music file path will be different)
Total Music collection: 80GB which is to be added to itunes library
iPhone Music: The same 500 songs as before.
Is this possible? In Mac OS I want my entire 80GB to be added to itunes library, also keeping my existing iphone songs intact.
Any ideas?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) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):

For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

Transferring the library as above will connect your i-device to the same library on the new computer even though it is stored on different hardware. You should not see the "erase & sync" prompt, and syncing will preserve game scores and other data on the device.
As for the 80GB of music in foobar, add that to the iTunes library at some stage by dragging those files to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder. -
After i transfer a app from my wife itunes to mi iphone (wich is usually sync with another pc) some apps had dessapeard and when i went back to sync with my own itunes in my own pc, the apps that shows the itunes on my own account are not transfered to my iphone any more.
Does anybody knows what i havwe done and what i have to do to solve it.
The wors think is that i have lost some files that i have downloaded on the word processor app.
Thinking that i was going to recover it after reinstall again the app, nothing had happen.
Thank to allWhat iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
How can I add a playlist without deleting the songs I already have on my iphone. It wont let me drag
This is driving me mad. I simply want to add a new playlist to my iphone but a message says that when I beging syncing it will delete my previous songs. I obviously dont want this to happen. In addition, I cant just add these new songs by dragging as it wont allow me to do it. Please help
Hi there. Not sure how to get to where I can ask you a question so I just jumped in here. Hope thats ok with you.
You seem extremely knowledgeable with solutions to all kinds of questions,
My problem is I tried to add a playlist from Itunes to my Iphone (5) and it will not add it. I have been doing this for years with all my Iphones and this is the first time its happened. I still have room to add them, so cannot understand what I am doing wrong.
I would really appreciate any help you could offer, thanks in advance! -
this is really, really annoying, I'm out and about a lot so I'd love to have both my ibooks and my music on my ipod touch!
You cant sync with your friends computer and your own at the same time. This prevents you from downloading your friends books/music from your friend so you cant "steal" from Apple.
To work around it just sign into her apple ID on your iPad and download them straight from the iPad instead of syncing it. That will allow you to sync with your own computer without erasing them. -
I'm overseas and need to sync my iphone with itunes but I don't have my computer. How can I sync it to my friends computer without losing my music and data?
Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur. -

If you have music from other sources on your phone (e.g. copied from CDs) and you don't have them on a backup, then there are some program listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -
How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?
How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?
Simply connect them. One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices. They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer. It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID. Much easier to do these things from the iPods. -
I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it. -
how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.
If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D
Source:... This is what I did when this EXACT thing happened to me ;D
