You can only sync an ipad to one computer at a time.
You can look to something like dropbox, upload your photos there, then do the sync and since your photos are backed up it won't hurt if they are deleted.

There is currently no music on her iPhone and all the apps are already in the iTunes library on the mac that I want to sync it to so its not a problem, the apps won't be lost.
My question is are photos and messages and contacts classified as iPhone contents? Because I don't want those to be wiped. So can I sync her phone to this iTunes library? I have not been able to find online whether or not photos and contacts will be lost.
Also her phone is already backed up on this computer because it gets plugged into it all the time we have just not tried to put music onto it yet until now.
Thanks for any help clarifying thisPlawexki wrote:

When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I only have one iTunes account, so I am a little confused. If I select the option to "Transfer Purchases, I get an error message that says "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
Any suggestions is appreciated.Have you synced to this computer before?

Trying to sync ipod with itunes library, but I keep getting this message, " The ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this i tunes library?"
I do not want to erase my ipod!!! Any suggestions?? please help!Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

My iPod is synced with another iTunes library?!?!
We got a new computer a couple of months ago and I'm trying to download more tunes from iTunes. It's saying my iPod is synced with another iTunes library. It's asking if I want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library. NO! I don't want to lose all of my songs! I just want to add the new ones! We don't have our old computer anymore so I can't access the old library. Am I screwed at this point?

I recently just had to re-install snow leopard on my imac. Thankfully I backed up all my music and re-imported everything from my old install to this one. However, when I go to sync my iPhone 4 I get the message that reads:
"The iPhone is already synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and synch with this iTunes library?"
It warns that doing so will erase my current iphone and replace the contents of it with the contents in my new iTunes library.
I manage to back up photo in iPhoto, using iTune I Back up using control click mouse and get the back up button, but when I search my computer for the backup it cannot find it anywhere!!!!I I'm afraid to sync in fear of losing all my images and app data. want all mytext and other things to be safe

I have an iPhone 3GS and have never added any music to the device as I had an iPod. The iPhone and iPod are hooked up to the same computer and same iTunes account. My iPod recently broke and now I am trying to add some of my music to the iPhone but I get a message that says: The iphone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTune's library?
I have never had the iPhone hooked up to another iTunes account. I don't want to accept and say yes and lose all the info on my iPhone.
Any tips or recommeI'm having the same problem after upgrading my iPhone 3Gs to iOS 5 (and upgrading iTunes to 10.5). I noticed after doing this the ring tone I was using for incoming calls was no longer on the phone. Before the upgrade I was syncing ringtones with iTunes without problems. My contacts and apps still still sync as before, but when I try to enable syncing for ring tones in iTunes, I get the message reported at the beginning of this thread. Any risk of losing anything if I go ahead and enable ring tone syncing? The message is definitely misleading.

The ipod is synced with another itunes library
"the ipod is synced with another itunes library" and they gave me two choices...
1. to delete all my ipod data.
2. cancel..
Guys before you reply please please read why i have turned to the support/community as this is my last resort before you reply with the most general answers which i would have already tried and did not work.
Ok, so my old computer died on me a month ago and i had not backed up my ipod touch for a few months already.. so when my com died on me i was with quite an outdated OS. when i got my com back a few days ago, i straight away told myself to backup my ipod touch, so i did. when i synced with this new itunes and clicked cancel for "the ipod is synced with another itunes library" question. it loaded like a normal syncing would do. i left it alone..
a few mins later i checked my itunes and noticed the word "DELETING ------" and i'm like WTH!?! and straight away unplugged the cable. nearly 80% of my games were deleted! all save data and stuffs gone.. i dont know what happened so i searched online.
to cut it short i found out about authorizing accounts so i deauthorized "all itunes" things and authorized this current one..
it still shows me "the ipod is synced with another itunes library" and it tried to delete my games despite that.
someone help me please. i have like 3 games left that still has my high scores from my 50+ games i had previously.
oh and one more this. i have never jailbroked my itouch before and all games are legit-ly downloaded so thats about it. anything else you need to know please feel free to ask!
I sincerely thank you for helping me.I would move the backups to a safe place and let iTunes erase and restore the iPods. Then move the other backup to the correct location and then restore from the old backups. It may not work but you are no worse off. The backups are located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory. -
Iphone4 synced with another itunes library
I have been issued with a new iphone 4 from my company which had been activated on a works pc/itunes library. I now wish to sync with my itunes account to download my books, music and films but get this warning message " this iphone is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes library...erasing and syncing replaces the content of this iphone with the contents of this itunes library "
I have been able to sync my apps with no problem its just the other itunes stuff...
Pls can somebody tell me - if I choose the option to erase and sync, what do I erase? is it just the itunes content ie music, photos, film, apps etc or will I lose all or some other information stored in my phone?
thanks in advance MarkYou will get this warning if you change between manually manage and sync.
You can manually manage OR sync. You cannot do both. If you switch between the two, it will erase the current content. -

Ipod is synced with another iTunes library...
im trying to add new songs to my ipod but this message pops up and dont let me. The only way to do it is to Erase and Sync but that means that all the songs currently on my ipod are gonna go away i think. Can i do anything about this?
I have a similiar problem. I was importing songs off of CDs I bought when I lost my VPN connection. Once I restored it I notice that I could only see the songs that I recently imported on my iTunes screen. When I connected my iPod, I get the message:
The iPod "telj's iPod" is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be syned with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do?
"Erase and Sync" replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
"Transfer Purchases' copies iTunes Store purchases this computer is authorized to play form this iPod to this iTunes library.
I want my old library, it has 17GB of songs and photos on it.HOW DO I GET IT BACK?
I have not done a thing at this point. I still have the iTunes DB on my iPod, I can see it since I've enabled disk use for my iPod. Please help.
Thanks
