I cant manually transfer songs from my itunes on mac-says it is synced to another library

I have a newish mac with everything transferred from the old. I attempted to transfer some new songs I just purchased to my iphone by manual transfer but  I get the message:
The iPhone  is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
Its the same itunes library transferred onto this mac so i dont understand?

The iPhone is ONLY allowed to by synced to one computer. [Google is your friend! Search other online forums for this matter!]
You can transfer your iTunes collection to the other computer but your iPhone is still synced to the old computer.
A file (or more) is left on the computer where the iPhone is originally synced. That's how iTunes knows that the iPhone was synced to That particular computer.
You'll need to deauthorize iTunes on the old Mac.
Go to the new Mac and iTunes and make a backup of the iPhone's contents if not through iCloud.
Then resync.
You will get a message that the contents will be replaced!
All of the iPhone's contents should already be in your iTunes folder collection or backed up so let the contents be replaced then restore the iPhone's contents.
Apple should REMOVE the iPhone syncing restriction as well as the drag n drop feature of contents From the iPhone back to the computer/iTunes but it won't!

  • Can no longer manually transfer songs from my itunes to ipod

    I use my ipod on many different computers and my main computer (the one at home) was just updated today to the newest version of itunes. I purchased a lot of music from the itunes music store, plugged my ipod in, and when i tried to drag the songs from my library to my ipod (which is what you do when you manually transfer), it wont let me put the songs on my ipod!
    I am upset because i just spent like 50 bucks on songs and now my computer is not letting me transfer...does anyone know why it wouild be doing this?
    Thanks

    I have the same issue. I have a first (or second) generation ipod w/ a scroll wheel. I unfortunately updated itunes to #5 this morning. Now I cannot manually transfer any itunes music store purchased songs from my itunes library to my ipod.
    I wish I had an answer for this (except hindsight: never upgrade if everything works fine) because I am sooo aggravated right now. Please someone helpÉ

    Okay: I just downloaded the latest ipod updater: rebooted my ipod after installing and rebooted itunes. Now I can transfer music from my itunes "purchased" to my ipod... Thanks all!!!!!!

  • Copy/pasted music to iTunes, now it says it's synced with another library...

    The vast majority of my music is on an external hard drive and I was having no luck importing it into the new iTunes, so I just opened a Finder window and copy/pasted some music I wanted into the play list I use to sync music to my phone. I then went in to sync and got this message:
    "The iPhone “xxxx iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library on “xxxx MacBook Pro”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    I haven't changed to a different version of iTunes...just added some songs. What the heck? Now what do I do?

    In addition...it ONLY does this when I'm in the music. I went in to apps and they synced just fine. What's going on here? In the past, iTunes was so easy and intuitive. Why has it changed so drastically?

    Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What have you tried?

  • I just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod

    i just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod. The tracks stay gray with a stagnant circle beside them in the left column. Any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • How do I transfer songs from one iTunes library to another?

    My husband and I each have our own iBook G4 and iPod mini's. I need to get songs from his itunes library (mostly downloaded from cd's) to mine so that I can put together a playlist for his surprise 50th birthday party. What's the easiest and quickest way of doing this?

    Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I think that the fastest way is:
    - connect the 2 iBooks using the Airport Extreme Card or the Ethernet
    - open finder then select network and select the remote computer
    - open iTunes, select your tracks and then drag them into the shared folder... that's it! You have just transfered your music to the other iBook and now you can create your playlist using iTunes.
    If you don't know how to create a private network or something else, post another message... bye!

  • My iPhone is now saying it is synced with another library - despite me not changing my iPhone or iTunes since I last synced - related to downtime (2 June?)

    I synced my iPhone a couple of days ago no problems, and I always 'manually manage' my stuff between iTunes and my iPhone 4.
    Just now I plug in to drop a new album onto my phone, and the 'manually manage music and videos' box is unchecked (nobody else uses my machine, no other devices plugged into it) and when I check it, it tells me my iPhone is synced with another library.
    The only thing I have changed that I can think of is my iTunes password - while working out what was causing the downtime yesterday (error 5002 with the store, etc.)
    Is it related?

    I'm sorry, I am having a smilar problem and my contacts have already been deleted because of it. I recently reloaded my OS as my computer was having problems. I'm using Vista. I had to reload itunes and when I attempted to sync my phone it said my iphone was synced with another itunes library. I'm not sure if I messed up and created two apple ID's. When I log into apple and attempted to see if I had any other accounts it did not show any, but when I try the other name I thought I had used first, it said that account had been locked for security reasons. I actually hit the "accept" button by mistake and it deleted everything so I unplugged it really quick and all I lost was my contacts. How on earth do I fix this? I can plug my iphone in and sign on, but if I attempt to change anything it gives that same message.
    Thank you
