I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there. However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually. Can I still add stuff onto my two devices? And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only? Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices? Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

Morning @mb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

Music imported from a CD or another source
iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.
Best of luck,

Can more than 1 iphone sync with itunes?

can more than 1 iphone sync with itunes?

mbraase wrote:
This isn't a problem, but a question.
1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
if so then...
2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

Need help with my iphone syncing to itunes

I have recently got a new computer (no access to old one) downloaded itunes and bought about 35 songs now it won't let me sync them to my iphone without deleting everything else on the iphone around 3000 songs how can i stop this
thanks in advance

Hello there Tami P.,
I was thinking either one of a few things here. You may need to open the Music tab in the iPhone device window and select the music you want to sync over to the phone. Use this article to help with that if needed:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386.
Also you may need to associate the device with your Apple ID then try syncing again. Use this article to help with that:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
If all else fails, I would recommend restorign the phone through iTunes.

HT1386 iphone syncing problems

I cannot figure out how to sync my laptop calendar to my iphone.
My itunes window says that my calendar is being synced with my iphone over the air, but it's not happening. I can't figure out how to do it manually.
It will sync all calendars that I am subscribed to, but not my icalendar that is on my MacBook Pro. I enter all my events on my laptop and need them to transfer to my phone. I used to be able to do it manually before I upgraded my iphone software. Help!

Additionally, I have now discovered that I don't have icloud on my MBP and that is probably why it won't sync.
Is there a way to delete icloud from my iphone and itunes account? I really don't want it and it used to work fine.
Otherwise, do I need to upgrade my Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8 to get icloud on my MBP?

Manually open iphone sync in itunes... HOW??

I have turned off the "auto-sync" option in iTunes, so that every time I plug in my iphone, it won't automatically sync, and it will allow me to sync manually at my discretion. When auto-sync is turned ON, iTunes starts automatically when the phone is plugged in, and it opens to the appropriate iphone sync screens, specifically the Summary tab. However, it doesn't work this way when auto-sync is turned off. Somehow, you have to open the sync screens in itunes manually. But.... HOW???
How do I get to that iphone Summary tab when I want to sync manually?? I plug my phone in, and I manually start iTunes, but I am not seeing any choices or options to open the iphone "Summary" tab. It is nowhere to be found!. I have navigated all over that program trying to find how to open the iphone sync screens, and I cannot find a way! Help!! Anybody....?

in iTunes clikc on the name of your device "john smiths iPhone" - should be listed on the left side of the screen where your library, purchased music, videos, playlists, etc. When you click it opens the iPhone's "info" tab and you can get there from there.

HT1386 iPhone Syncing Calendar issues...

Hi All,
I've had a recent problem in that my iPhone 4S seemingly 'lost' a load of my Calendar entries. I checked that all the Calendars where being synced by selecting 'All calendars' and this was okay, but when i tried to Sync with iTunes, I got a message saying I'd delete over 800 entries on the Computer (the 'over 25% of entries being changed' warning) if I continued, so I 'cancelled sync' of the Calendar entries...
I next followed the support page recommendation, and on iTunes>(Device)>info>advanced, clicked on the 'Replace information on this iPhone - Calendar' box. Next Sync, all entries reappeared, but whenever I've tried to Sync since it tells me that if I proceed , I will 'MODIFY' over 350 entries on the computer - something I'm a little weary of doing! Is there any advice anyone can give as to where I've gone wrong / if I should just proceed, etc?
I'm running Windows 7, and the iTunes is up to date, as is the iOS on the iPhone 4S...
Thanks very much in advance for any help!
Kindest regards,
Mark

I have this same issue: When I add an event on my iphone, it does not show up on icloud.com - it worked fine in the past and I haven't changed any settings. I verified the icloud calendar settings on the phone (default calendar etc..) - I tried to turn calendar icloud sync off and then back on but to no avail. help.

IPhone sync to iTunes problem with version 10.3.1

I've just upgraded to iTunes 10.3.1.55 and my iPhone will no longer sync to iTunes. I've tried downloading and reinstalling but this made no difference.
I get the following message:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the Iphone. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings"!
I picked up elsewhere that there was a problem with 10.3 which was supposed to be corrected with 10.3.1 but it seems that this update had not cured the problem.

Thanks for the info, Tom.
I've gone thru that Interoperating guide but I'll go thru it again. I don't see any error messages in my server logs. This is a single instance although the database does have multiple server instances connected to it. The data source name would be the same for all the server instances. Mine is the only one using the MDBs & WLS 10.3.1, others are using the stateless session beans. I'm using XA drivers & connection factories but I don't have any specific transactions defined in the Java code. Initially I didn't have the auto-acknowledge specified initially but thought maybe that is the problem. I have not knowingly specified any non-transactional config - if I did it would be via an omission.
So, if there is no problem in the WLS 10.3.1 supporting this acknowledgment then I'll keep reviewing my configuration.
Thanks again. I'll try to remember to post my solution.

IPhone sync using iTunes gets stuck on step 3 of 7 syncing calendars

I am getting stuck on step 3 of 7 when syncing my iPhone 4 using iTunes. I have had this happen before with iOS5 but it seemed to sort itself out after I deleted the backup from iTunes 10 > Preferences > Devices > iPhone backup and synced again a couple of times. I recently installed iOS6 and the sync problem has come up again. Apps and contacts seem to backup fine. I have tried deleting the backup and a reset (by holding the sleep & home buttons down) but I still don't seem to be able to get past step 3 of 7 sycning calendars. I noticed that a few users seem to have this problem from time to time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had it hanging on Calendar sync as well ...
This worked for me:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
I also had crazy dupes of calendar items previously except on my iphone, so the idea was to get the singular calendar of events synced back to my computer. So ...
I made sure Calendar was empty on my computer: ~/Library/Calendars/
Cleared out. Emptied Trash.
Then per above link, cleared sync services from terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Plugged in iPhone, set my prefs again, sync'ed. Went thru the sync quickly and got everything back to normal with only single events.
The key here (on dupes) is to have at least ONE version of your calendar in good shape. And that may be thru your iphone backups.
(sorry I know I switched thread topics, but sync and dupes seem to go hand in hand)
Hope this helps.

Having trouble getting your iphone sync with itunes? Click here.

I, myself, has been one of the many people facing issues with their iphone (5S) being recognized or syncing with itunes after the new update, however, after calling an apple specialist, she taught me how to fix the problem.
You have to completely uninstall itunes and all of it's components (Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support). Simply uninstalling itunes won't do the trick. You have to manually uninstall all of the listed program in your computer's uninstall programs page.
Please uninstall it in this specific order
- itunes
- Apple Software Update
- Apple Mobile Device Support
- Bonjour
- Apple Application Support
And then reinstall the latest itunes at :
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5654?viewlocale=en_US
Connect your iphone and it should be good to go! It definitely worked for me! Hope this helps you! Cheers!

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Why won't my iPhone sync to iTunes anymore?

I've had my iPhone for a few months, and after the last two updates to my iPhone software it hasn't been syncing. iTunes detects it, I can drag and drop things as per usual... but it gets to the last stage of the sync - "copying files" or something of the sort a and it will stay on that stage for HOURS! I've left it plugged in for several hours (even overnight) and there is no change. Is this an issue I can resolve somehow, or do I need to get into a genius bar and have them take a look at my device? (I'm really hoping to avoid doing so, because I've spent money purchasing apps and added numerous contacts since my last backup -- and haven't been able to complete one since being unable to sync to iTunes. I dont want to lose all of my recent items!)

Hello Georgia,
I would be concerned too if music was not syncing over to my iPhone. I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
First, if you are trying to drag the music over to your iPhone in iTunes (manual syncing), verify that "Manually manage music and videos" is checked:
You can find more information in the full article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
You can also try syncing automatically and trying to resync. You can resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" and then checking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" again:
You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:
