HT1766 how do you sync my iPhone 4 music content to my friends iTunes library without loosing my music from my iPhone.

how do sync my iphone music content with another itunes library on a macbook pro without loosing my music from my iphone

You don't.
Iphones will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
It is not legal for your friend to give you his music or for you to give your friend your music.

  • My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

    ",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
    Not true at all.
    It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
    The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

  • How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old one no longer works.

    How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old computer no longer works.

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

    How do you sync an iphone 4 with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone 4 if it was previously syned on a PC? 

    Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive".  Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

  • How do I sync my old ipod to my "new" iTunes library without losing the music I already have loaded onto my iPod?

    Hi, so I got my new computer loaded up with iTunes and I want to be able to move my music from my old iPod to my new iTunes library without losing any of the music I already have placed on the iPod. How would I do this? And please I'm not too savvy with the new iTunes layout and such so if you could make this easy in layman's terms that would be great.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
    If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

  • How do I add a new ipod to my iTunes library without loosing the original ipod connection, how do I add a new ipod to my iTunes library without loosing the original ipod connection

    I have a new iPod touch, that I want to sync with my existing iTunes Library. However, I want to keep my old classic ipod (for use in the house); can I have two registered to one library without loosing or wiping my library?

    The OP wants both iPods to carry the contents of the library but was afraid that syncing the second iPod would somehow mess up either the library or the first iPod - not, of course, the case since no information from the iPod is transferred to the library.
    Your suggestion is applicable for people who want a second iPod to carry a different selection of songs.

  • How do i set up and ipad for my children using my Itunes account without synching my data from my Iphone? (contacts, calendar, etc

    I do not want or need my contacts and calendar on their ipad, but I would like to use my Itunes account...

    It's easy enough to do. You can share one Apple ID and have your own content on each iPad. You do not have to have the same apps, music, books and so on. Set up the iPad with your Apple ID for purchases. If you want the kids to have their own iCloud accounts so that they can FaceTime and Message you can do that as well. However you do not have to setup additional Apple ID's in order to do that, it just makes it a little easier,
    Anyway, after you set up their iPad - when you go so to sync your devices, you can set your sync preferences for each device any way that you like. Using apps as an example ... This is how you can select the unique content for you own device. You can do this in every tab in iTunes .... Apps, music, photos, movies, books, etc.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps in the apps list that you want to sync to your iPad..
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    In the Info tab of iTunes, just don't sync your contacts or calendar to the kids iPad.
    This will be helpful.

  • HT1459 how do I sync from my ipod to an empty itunes library without loosing all the songs on the ipod

    I have had to change my computer and lost all my itunes libraries/
    I still have them on my ipod/
    is ther a way to sync all from ipod to computer
    Thanks Ruth

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How can you give full access to your Apple ID and iTunes library to someone who moved in with you and have their own Apple ID?

    As the title says, we would like to use just one account in the future, or at least fully share both account so we can share our libraries. Thanks in advance!

  • HT1203 If I have two users on my Mac can I share one iTunes library without doubling my music collection.

    I am just trying to figure out the best way to share my mac with my wife and sync her iphone as well.  right now i just use my account for everything but want to possibly create here a user account on the mac so that her icloud can be there with her contacts.  I then would use itunes under her account but do not want to have all my music on my hard drive twice.  I also want to add new music to my itunes and have it also show up in hers.  Is there a way to do this?

    This is on a Mac? You posted in the iTunes for Windows forum.

    - Note that if you have two copies of iTunes running at the same time with any shared content, unexpected thing may happen because a library file cannot be opened by two accounts at the same time.  You're also open to any vagaries the other person will have about deleting or adding files, or making playlists, ratings, etc.

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

  • HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

    How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro? 
    Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there.  I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc...  Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs.  I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud.  So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!).  How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs? 

    I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?
