- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

I just purchased a new macbookpro and I would like to put the music from my iphone to my macbook. I have downloaded from iTunes, however it want to add ALL music to my macbook.
When you plug in the iPhone, go to the menu bar and select "Transfer all purchases" to move them to your MacBook Pro.
If that doesn't work. Go here for a whole list of Apps that can help you.
I personally like Music Rescue the most. You can get it here and use the License Key that they give out for FREE now. -

The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes. Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access. It will not load media onto the device.
Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported. -
Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.
As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
Many thanks!Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone? -

If you were using a Mac you could use a program but AFAIK there is nothing similar yet for the PC.
However, you should have a backup of your music, correct? Just restore from that backup to your computer (and, if not, at least this will teach you the importance of always backing up your music purchases onto writable media like DVD). -
When your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer
when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases -

Hi, susiebroll.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You will need to reset your old Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below to transfer your purchases from your old Apple ID to your Mac. If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

How do I get the music from my macbook to my iphone 5s? It says it is on my phone in itunes but it is not.
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer (11.1) from http://apple.com/itunes.
Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable.
Click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes.
Is the box "Manually manage music and videos" checked (near the bottom of the Summary page)? If it is, uncheck it.
Click on Music in the top bar in itunes.
Select the music you want on the phone.
Click the Sync or Apply button. -
How to add music content to iphone without erasing what's already there?
I'd like to add some music to my iphone without erasing what's already there, but can't see how. in iTunes Devices (on computer) I select the summary pane, I check "manually manage music and videos". and "sync only selected songs and videos. "Automatic Sync" is not selected. Then in the music pane, "Sync Music" is the only box that can be checked. When I check that, I get another box that says "all existing content on iphone will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library. Can anybody shed some light here?
thanks
paulIf you have manually manage music and videos checked and have disabled sync automatically, you can now drag and drop videos right onto the iPhone in iTunes. You can also delete songs and videos right from the iPhone in iTunes. Just click on the iPhone in the left pane, hit the music folder and drag and drop all you want and delete all you want.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.
