I cant upload any new music onto my iphone because im already connected to another iTunes library.

Basically, when I got my very first iPhone, I had connected it to an iTunes library on my laptop at the time.
Since then, that laptop has broke and I have my new one with iTunes on it. All of my iPhone's content is on this new iTunes apart from my music which it wont let me upload any other than what I have purchased on my phone. Every time I try to sync my music, it says that it will replace all of my iPhone's content for the content which is on my old iTunes. I do not want this to happen, is there anything I can do?

This happens if you are Syncing to a Different iTunes Library on a Different Computer.
By design, the iPhone will Only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time,

    Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

  • Since I updated by iTunes to the newest 11.1.4, I'm unable to sync any new music onto my iPhone 4s

    I run a macbook pro and haven't had any issues with my iPhone/iTunes previously. Right now my phone will only play purcahsed music and literally random other songs (it'll play three from a CD, but not the others). I've tried checking/unchecking playlists and all that stuff, the only things I haven't tried are resetting my phone and re-installing iTunes. I'd like to avoid doing either, but are there any other options for me?

    there is not a way to transfer those playlists to that itunes library from your phone, but heres an idea to help you out.
    take screen shots of the playlists on your phone then when they get deleted after the sync you'll have to re-create them but at least you'll know what was in them

  • How do I upload a new movie onto my iPhone without having to sync it with iTunes?

    I am new to iPhone and all this syncing is so frustrating and time wasting!
    I am using iTunes on the same computer and every time I want to upload a new movie, video or anything else, iTunes keeps telling me that I am changing libraries and that it will completely wipe out everything from my iPhone. why does this happen? how many libraries are on my iTunes? I am using the same apple id on the same computer and it still wants to delete everything from my iPhone? Is there a different library for EVERYTHING on my phone?

    as I explicitly wrote in my first post:
    of course my iPhone is already synced to the same computer!
    I wanted to add a movie on my iPhone today on the same computer and through the same iTunes that I already synced my iPhone with and when I wanted to upload the movie onto the phone it told me that I am now using a different library and that everything on my phone will be deleted. I also tried to do it manually because I don't want to waste time by backing up the phone, erasing everything from it and then putting it back onto the phone, and iTunes told me the same thing: that I am using a different library etc etc.
    the other day I wanted to put a new ringtone on my iPhone and iTunes did exactly the same thing!
    how can I be using a different library on the SAME COMPUTER and on the SAME iTunes for different things that I want to put on my iphone?
    another thing:
    if using iTunes indeed were as simple and as easy as you say it is, then there wouldn't be as many complaints about it as there are. also: calling someone ignorant just because they don't want to be bothered by the restrictions, complications and unfriendliness of iTunes is pretty lame!

  • When I upload new music onto my iPhone 5 it causes existing music to no longer be playable and a circle with an exclamation mark to appear next to it. Or that it won't upload at all, the song is in grey with a dotted circle. Why is that?

    When I manually upload new music onto my iPhone 5 it causes existing music to no longer be playable and a circle with an exclamation mark to appear next to it. Or that it won't upload at all, the song is in grey with a dotted circle next to it. This is incredibly frustrating; especially as I have 1.9GB free on my phone.. why is that?

    Try this procedure; it has worked for many people.
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

    In the menu bar, click on File. Almost at the bottom of the dropdown list will be the Work Offline option. If it has a tick next to it, then FF is working in offline mode. Just click on it once & all will be sorted.

  • I can't sync new music onto my iPhone?

    I have a black 32GB iPhone 5. I've had the phone for about 7 months and I've had no problems with it until recently. My iTunes won't sync new music onto my iPhone. I've tried switching the cable and checking and unchecking music, but it doesn't work. When I tried to uncheck all the music and sync it, the music stayed on my phone. Tracks that I've deleted stay on my phone, and new tracks won't sync to my phone. I recently downloaded an album from iTunes, and the songs on the album appeared on my phone through iCloud. However, new songs that I haven't purchased through iTunes won't sync. How can I fix this problem?

    What happens when you try? We're not psychic...

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library. 
    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • On my new mac book pro i synced new music onto my iPhone. it added the new music but deleted all of my old music. how can i get my old music back?????

    please help!

    Did you create a new iTunes library on the new computer?  A device can only synch with one library at a time and will delete material from syncing with another library (it warns you of this).  If this is the case you need to get your old music from whatever the original source was.

  • How can i take the music from my Iphone 3GS and put it in my Itunes Library

    How can I transfer my music on my phone to my Itunes library on the computer? I need to make space on my phone to update and take pictures.

    For iTunes purchased content, without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases. Music ripped on your own requires third party software, like this:

  • Can't play music from the iPhone when it's connected to another computer

    Hi all,
    One of the things I liked about my iPod was that I could take it to work, connect it to my PC, and play the music directly from it on my PC. Now I can't because all the music's grayed out. I can live without manual updates but PLEASE allow us to play the music from the iPhone.

    Hey richarddong,
