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.

  • Is there any way to sync apps from different computers in one ipod touch?

    Hi
    So, I have synced my iPod touch with iTunes in my mac and now I want to install some applications that my brother has in his computer.
    *Is there any way I can sync applications in my iPod touch using different computers, without losing the apps that are already installed in the device?*
    Thanks a bunch for your help!
    Best,

    Wow, that was fast! thanks!
    So, if I do that, I'll transfer all the apps from the iPod to my brother's computer and then I'll just need to sync everything back to my iPod... and I'll also need to do the same thing with my mac, in order not to lose the apps that I copied from my brother's pc, right?

    About the only other way I can think of is to have a computer with you or use one there, if you can put iTunes on it and download all your new stuff to the computer, then sync your iPad to that computer.
    In switching computers you will lose previous content, but, as I understand it anyway, downloaded content will be the same as long as the same apple ID is used.

    How do I sync my iphone with itunes without losing everything on my phone?

    Normally, you should be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes without losing anything
    What can happen is that you might have emptied your iTunes library for any reason such as a system restore
    If this is the case, you first need to Import iPhone library to iTunes and then, you'll be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes with no problem

  • Hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everything

    hi i need help
    hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everything

    The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
    In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

  • Can I sync my iPod to a different computer WITHOUT losing all of my music?

    Can I sync my iPod to a different computer WITHOUT losing all of my music?

    Yes. Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time, meaning that when you try to sync it with a new library, it will erase everything that is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
    So the first thing you are going to want to do is copy everything from your iPod back to your PC first using one of the methods described in this older post from another forum member Zevoneer.

    How can i format Iphone 4.But i didnt want deleted pictures,programs,musics.How can i do that?

    Restoring to factory setting will certainly erase the pics.
    Why don't you import the pics to your computer as you should be doing anyway?

  • How can I sync Bridge between multiple computers at work with keywords/collections/search?

    We've been trying to find a digital asset management platform at work for a while now and I recently came across Bridge (we have the Creative Cloud). It's perfect! Except we're all on a bunch of different computers and would need to be able to search the same keywords/collections all from the same server (the photos are in many different folders though). Is there a way to be able to sync all keywords etc on multiple computers? Or if someone opens Bridge and can search right away without having to make all the keywords persistent by finding each photo and clicking on it? We're all on the same Creative Cloud team.

    I actually did already create a book with all the files in it, but I couldn't figure out how that was helpful. The hyperlink panel doesn't seem to have any "book" options (unless I'm looking in the wrong place?) and just linking to the different files (after creating the book) didn't have any different results than linking to the files before I created the book.
    I thought maybe linking to the different files in the book would work if I could export the whole book to pdf at once (which would be super-helpful in and of itself), but that doesn't seem to be an option either.
    I guess what I'm asking is for you to elaborate on what to do after creating the book.
    Thanks!

  • Reliability of Syncing iCal on different computers

    I am wondering if anyone can comment on how reliable it is to Sync iCal info on 2 or 3 different computers over .Mac. One computer is running 10.4.2 and the other one 10.3.9. Even when things look like they are working fine, after a few days, something goes wrong and one of the compuers stops being able to Sync the iCal data or it never finishes or there are errors etc. It's usually the 10.4.2 that screws up. The Calendar being synced is a huge one, 5.7 mb, but that should not matter. I am beginning to wonder if the iCal syncing amongs different computers is really good enough for heavy duty use or is it just for light, home use.

    Hi Thomas,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First, I think it is fair to say that iCal .Mac syncing was really designed for the single user with a couple of Macs. But that doesn't mean it can't work for something more robust. There are people who are doing as you are with no problem (but perhaps not with as much data). And there are folks reporting problems syncing between Tiger and Panther (makes sense to me). And other folks reporting problems syncing period.
    If you had been following threads here, you'd see that there seems to be a problem sometimes with iCal and iSync so if that's in the picture (has to be for Panther) than perhaps that's part of your problem. See the thread for more info: Patricia W, "iCal "Unexpectedly" Quitting after iTunes 5.0.1 install" #29, 10:59am Sep 25, 2005 CDT
    I know that doesn't answer your question, but know that some folks are doing what you want with no problem.

  • How do I sync with a different username in Palm desktop

    I inherited my husband's Treo 680 when he got his HTC EVO.  I want to keep all the applications/programs he has, but use my own calendar.  I installed palm desktop and created a new username.  How can I sync with that instead of the informtion my husband had?
    Is there any way to switch the Treo to my information without doing a hard reset?

    I saw your question while I was trying to find out why my computer does not recognize the USB when I plug in my Handspring cradle (I am installing an old PDA on a new notebook).  While continuing to search, I saw that by right-clicking on the Hot Sync icon, a menu comes up.  The Network tab on the menu may contain the selection that you need.  Good luck!
