How to add music from a second computer to my iPhone 5

I just got an iPhone 5. I can manually control music from my personal laptop and put it on my iPhone. However I can't add it from my brother's lap top. When ever I try to click "manually manage" on his computer, it tells me to erase everything from my iPhone and sync his library. I did autherize  hi computer. How do I add music from his computer with still keeping all of my current music?

Thanks AmishCake.
While I'd prefer to not have to do this I suppose it's the only way with my current set up.
Lots of hostile attention on this forum from people who claim to not care about what I do.

  • HT1688 all i want to do is add songs from my new computer to my iphone 4s. But that doesnot seem to be working.. Itunes wnats me to sync and lose all my music on my iphone. This is very frustrating i dont want to lose over 700 songs!!!!

    Itunes is not letting me add songs from my new computer to my iphone.
    Instead it wants me to sync my music library and lose all the songs on my phone. i have over 700 songs i cannot lose them just because i want to add 10 new songs... PLEASE HELP. also i am using the new CONFUSSING ITUNES 11. 

    This has always been the case.
    All iphones have always only synced to one computer at a time.
    Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • HT1848 How do you transfer music from one authorized computer to an iphone?

    I want to transfer music from my old computer to my iphone, which I have made an authorized computer.

    An iPhone can only be managed from one library. Transfer the music to the computer with that library or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How to transfer music from iPod to computer

    It's not that straightforward.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

    The "iPod" part can really be any drive or DVD-R or whatever your can fit the library onto.

  • I am clueless how to add music from my computer to my nano

    I am clueless about adding music from my computer to my nano.

    Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.

  • How do download music from flashdrive to computer

    i just got this compaq presario cq62-417nr notebook pc and all day i cant figure out how to download all my music from a flashdrive oh not really computer savy lol

    You can't transfer song files from iPod to Mac using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previously purchased songs on the iTunes Store Purchased screen).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that allow transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your Mac, drag the song files (or the folder containing the song files) to the iTunes window to add them to your iTunes library.

  • How to transfer music from home shared computer to ipod

    The laptop my ipod is physically connected to has no music on it's hard drive.  I remotely access all of my files which are on a home shared media server.  I can view, play and edit my home shared music remotely with my laptop with no problem.  When trying to move those files from the home shared hard drive to the ipod it will not allow it.  In the menu that appears to the right when dragging files, the ipod is not shown in the list.  If I move home shared files physically to my laptop and then attempt to drag them to the right the ipod is shown in the list.  Is there any way to allow this type of transfer without moving the files to my laptop?

    Hey there,
    There are several ways of doing this. The link below gives you step-by-step instructions for doing it the direct way, as well as a few third party applications instead depending on your preference. Make sure that once you do have the music back onto iTunes that you back it up somewhere to avoid this type of problem again if possible. Hope this helps
