How tocopy a CD from a different computer than the one I am synced to

My daughter got a Beyonce CD for Xmas.  Her iPhone has its "synced" library on an iMac27 which do not come with a CD drive anymore.
So we go to our MBP and load the CD into iTunes there.   Then connect her iPhone so we can transfer the CD onto it.  But everytime time I try to do that I get the dreaded "You can only be synced to one iTUnes library - Do you want to erase your iPhone and sync to this machine" or something to do effect.
Well I don't want to sync to this computer.  I just want to copy a CD onto her iPhone.
Why does iTunes insist on making the simplest little things so maddeningly complicated.  All I want is a simple copy. 
I have her iPhone set to Manually Manage Music and video on the iMac27 but when iTunes on the MBP says that it is set to Automatically Sync and when I try to change it to Manually Manage it says that it will erase all the contents of the iPhone.
This is sooooooooo irritating.
Thank you for any suggestions!
iPhone 4.  iOS 7  iTunes 11.1  Mac OS 10.8.5
PS:  I tried to do a search on this subject but there are too many keywords and I couldn't find a similar case with answer.
PPS: Are there any good alternatives to iTunes?

Her iPhone has its "synced" library on an iMac27 which do not come with a CD drive anymore.
So we go to our MBP and load the CD into iTunes there. 
So far so good.
Now that the CD is ripped on your computer, copy the song files from your computer to a flash drive.  Take the flash drive to her iMac, where you can add the files to her iTunes library.
Then, she can sync her phone to her own library, which will now include the new Beyoncé tracks.

  • How to require licence from a different serverUrl (not the one in DRMContentData)?

    Hi guys
    I have a special request for requiring the movie licence from a different serverUrl (not the one I get from DRMContentData.serverUrl). I tried DRMManager.setAuthenticationToken with the new url but it didn't work.
    Does anybody know to do it or is it even possible to do it?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    What is your particular workflow/use-case?
    Unfortunately, the license server's URL is baked into the DRMContentData and cannot be modified once a video has been packaged.  But, if you describe what problem you're attempting to solve, perhaps there is a different workaround.
    cheers,
    /Eric.

  • How do I get my burned songs on my iPod to a different computer than the one I synced with when I loaded them?

    How do I get my burned songs on my iPod to a computer other than the one I synced with when I loaded them? I purchased a new computer and want to transfer my library to it. The only sync option I get is to erase the ipod and sync it.

    By using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How do I export songs from my iPhone onto iTunes? (The songs are from a seperate computer than the one I am trying to import the songs to)

    How do I put songs from my iphone onto itunes?

    The only way to do this is to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.  iTunes will transfer purchased music from your phone to your iTunes library (by right-clicking on your phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases), but not music that wasn't purchased from iTunes.  If the other computer is at your home, on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID you can use Home Sharing to copy music from one iTunes library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

  • HT1349 how do I change the email contacts I want to sink from a different email than the one listed on itunes?

    I am trying to sync my iphone and itunes is preset to an email account with no contact. I want to switch to a different email account to sync to but can't find a way to change the email already listed. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Transferring email account settings via the iTunes sync/transfer process has nothing to do with syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer if this is what you are referring to.
    If you have an email account that supports syncing contacts over the air, you can manually create the email account with the iPhone's Mail app. This is supported with a Yahoo account, Gmail account, an Apple iCloud account, and with an Exchange account. A Hotmail account can now be accessed as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app.

  • I'm opening a garageband file on a different computer than the one it was made on, and my drum loops are playing as low pitched beeps instead of the jazzy brushes I want. I believe my version is more up-to-date than what I used first. How can I fix this?

    I believe I said it all in the question...

    Could it be that you had more instruments on the old computer? Or haven't correctly installed the instruments on the new one?
    Obviously, GB hasn't assigned a drum instrument to the track that the drum notes are on (my guess: since it doesn't have the desired drum set.) Press cmd-I to make the track info pane visible and pick one of the drum sets for that track.

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

    can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

    This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail.  Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
    Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account?  It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting.  It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

  • HT2492 Clicking on different widget than the one previously used, brings me back to Desktop?

    Hello,
    I have a problem where if I click on a widget other than the one I previously used, I am taken back to my Desktop. I then have to open dashboard again, to get to the widget i want. I can now use the widget i initially wanted, but clicking on a different widget starts the cycle again. This is really annoying me. How can i fix this?
    By the way, I am running 10.7.3 and I am up to date on all Mac updates.
    Thank-you,

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?
