I want to add albums from my libary without removing the one on my iphone and i have home sharing on?

i dont know why but when i try to manage albums manually it keeps saying that i have to remove libary on my phone but i just want to add a few albums... help?

In order to do this, you'll need to enable the Manually manage music and videos option from under your iPod's Summary tab. Keep in mind that manual management of your iPod's contents is an entirely different way of handling how content is copied to your iPod. See this article for more information about manually managing your iPod's contents.
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
You'll only need to make this one change once. No need to worry about doing anything else any other time you sync your iPod after that.
However, I would urge you to invest in an external hard drive to store your iTunes library on instead. If something were to happen to your iPod, you'll lose everything that is stored there. External hard drives of large capacity can be found for pretty cheap these days.

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

I have a 3G iphone. I just tried to download the new itunes and lost all my itunes I had. I tried to transfer them from my computer but can't. How can I and what do I do to get the ones I bought before and now have lost.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad: File>Transfer Purchases

I purchased an album from itune, it's downloading the 5th of 7 songs and its stuck there for the last hour or so. how do i solve this. internet connection is good

HELP. i just purchased a couple of albums from itunes. It's downloading but got stuck on the 5th song of album 1. internet connection's good. it says that the file being loaded is an MPEG-4 audiofile. what could be the problem? what can i do about it? can i skip this particular file to download the rest?

If you're stuck on the part of the process where it says "Processing File" you're not alone.
I downloaded an entire album, and two songs were stuck on "processing file".
I'm pretty sure it's a problem on their end.
What's worse is that I couldn't even restart my computer normally - I had to hold down the power button for 5 seconds and force shut down everything.

Is there a way i can add music from my computer without deleting the music i alread have from a different computer?

No. iTunes will first erase everything from another computer. It is designed to work that way.

Why Can't I Add Songs To My Ipod From Another Computer Without Erasing The Ones I Already Have?

I have an "Ipod Touch 4 generation" and I have two computers located in my home. I have authorized both computers for my ipod. Why is that when I go to a computer and authorize it, it will not let me download the songs on that computer, without erasing the ones I have already on my Ipod?

Hi
This is because your iPod can only be synced with one computer, not just one iTunes account.

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

Is there a way to add photos to the iPad without replacing the ones already loaded? I am trying to add photos from a folder on a computer that does not contain the other iPad photos.

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive 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.)

If I have home sharing can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my other devices such as IPhone and IPod?

If I have Home Sharing enabled, can I delete music from my IPad without deleting it from my IPhone and IPod?

Home sharing has no effect on deleting music from your iPad. If you delete music on your iPad it will have no effect on your other iDevices.
You cannot add or delete music with home sharing anyway. You can only share what is on one library on another device.

Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It sounds like the permissions on your Home folder are snarky.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

In iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

The only way to do that is to export the image to a new file and then re-import it.
It's not really the intended way of working as it uses twice the disk space and is inefficient.
Use Albums instead. A Photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space as it just simply references the image in the Library. Albums can be sorted any way you want - including manaually - and can have image from anywhere in the Library just by drag and drop.

HT204022 I have successfully saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC. Now I want to delete them from my phone so that i can free up space and take more pictures. How do I do this?

I have saved all of the photos on my Iphone 5 to my PC. Now I want to delete them from my phone only to free up space and take more pictures and video. How do I do this?

You sould have been given the option to delete them after importing when you imported them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
To do this on your phone, open the album you want to delete photos from (so you are viewing the thumbnails), tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the trash icon. (There is no "select all" option.)
