I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that are not synced with my iTunes account on my computer. How can I sync my phone and iTunes on my computer without losing what is on my iPhone? (original computer was stolen)
I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer. The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
How can I sync and retain both iTunes?
Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

I have an iPad and iPhone. My husband has an iPad and iPhone. His iPad is under his own Apple ID, but his phone is under my Apple I D. Can I change his phone to his own Apple ID without losing things like his contacts and photos?
Create a new user account on the computer that he can log in to.

my screen is broke and can't type my passcode in. plus i never plugged my phone into my computer. how can i backup my phone so i keep all my information before i buy a new phone?
It's too late for that. Maybe you should consider setting up your next iPhone to backup to iCloud... it happens automatically without user intervention once it's set up. All that's required is a power source for the phone and a WiFi internet connection.

You mean music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
If so, that means the music was transferred from your iTunes library on computer via the iTunes sync process - unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
Music transferred from your computer can be removed the same way - via the iTunes sync process or you should be able to delete individual songs direct from the iPhone. -

Hello! I use the VSCO preset that was easy to download and use right away a few months ago. This morning I did the same thing and it downloaded successfully but none of the presets are listed under the new VSCO folder I bought. How can I fix this? Does Lightroom have a limit on presets?

Please my friend put some of his applications for me but now I want to upgrade it's not asking me for my account but for his.How do I transfer to my own account? Thank you.
You cannot transfer your friend's applications to your account.
All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with.
You can only update using your friend's ID. -
