HT1386 I have different songs on my phone than in my iTunes library, how do I sync the two without wiping my iPhone?

I have different songs on my iPhone than I have in my iTunes library. When I try to sync it says it wants to wipe my iPhone. How can I sync it and keep my songs on my phone?

It is from a different computer and includes songs from CDs that I created different playlists and items I purchased from itunes. The original computer crashed and I was able to restore the songs to my new computer from the backup on another backup drive but not all of the songs synced to the new computer. Now I have some songs on my iPhone that do not match the songs in my library on my new PC. This happened once before but I cannot remember how I solved for it.

i have my new music which i downloaded in my itunes library but when i go to move it to my iphone music folder it wont move and a red circle appears? i have tried all different copy and paste but it still doesnt work

Drag and drop only works if "Manually manage music" is selected on the summary tab in iTunes.
Instead, use the Music tab and playlists to manage what content is on the device as described in the User's Guide.

ITunes is indicating i have another iTunes library, how do I combine the 2 libraries into 1? Previous computer was a PC using iTunes.

My previous computer was a PC. I synced iTunes with my iPhone until the hard drive died, then I bought an iMac.
Thanks for you help.

Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer? Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart. Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

I have successfully sync'd my macbook and new ipad via itunes, but how do I sync the calendar, please ? I do not have icloud yet.

You can select the calendar to sync in the Info Tab in the iTunes window on the right, when your iPad is connected to the Mac , while iTunes is running and after you select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading.

I recently purchased a new computer and just downloaded itunes. I have an old iphone that has over 1,000 songs that I want to put on itunes. How do I get the songs on my iphone onto itunes?

Help! I just bought a new computer and am trying to get the songs from my iphone to itunes on the computer. My old computer that had all of origional songs on itunes crashed so all I have is my old iphone. How do I get the songs to go into my itunes library. I would like to purchase a new iphone and plan to load the songs on it after I can figure this out? Please Help?

Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

HT4623 how come my iphone wont play certain songs in my itunes library even after i sync the phone?

I just got the iphone 5 and synced all my music from itunes. How come my phone won't play certain songs? It just skips over them. when I play them on my computer, there's no problem?? So frustrating!
Somebody HELP!

So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File. For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

I am adding songs to my ipod touch from my itunes library and a lot of the songs that i tried to add are faded on my ipod and will not play. it is like they weren't added to my ipod even though i can see it is there.

The songs will play in my itunes library but they won't transfer onto my ipod correctly. For some of the congs, I just have to locate the file and readd the song to itunes, but a lot of the songs, I don't know what the problem is.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

I am logged into the same itunes account on two diffrent accounts on the same computer, there are diffrents songs on each of the itunes library how do i get the same songs on the librarys on the diffrent computer accounts?

on the same computer on diffrent computer accounts i am logged into itunes using the same itunes account, but on the diffrent computer accounts the itunes librarys have diffrent songs because my sister will buy songs on her computer account and i buy them using itunes on my computer account. how do we make so that we have all of the same songs on both of the librarys without rebuying everything since its the same itunes account?

Where is all of the music now?
Just copy it all to the same computer.

My friend borrowed my old iPhone 4. I wanted to erase all the data but I dont have a password and my friend doesnt know his password. How can I erase the data without using a password?

My friend borrowed my iPhone. I want to sell the iPhone, but first I have to erase all the data that belong too my friend. I don't know his password and he doesn't know either. Is it possible to erase the data without using a password?
thanks!

You need the password if it is iCloud locked you won't be able to activate the phone for use.
As long as he remembers his email, you can reset the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password
or Forgot Apple ID
https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
If it is a lock screen password, you can do a restore.
Hold down power and home for 10 seconds and release power but keep holding down home. iTunes will say your phone is in recovery mode so you can restore it.
