IPhone movie sync changed in iTunes
Earlier, itunes hung and had to be forced down at activity monitor.
It couldn't see iPhone attached as well.
Earlier I converted short clips of Divx to .m4v / which are Mpeg-4.
Send them to iTunes, then it's needed to covert to iPhone.
That process seemed to go Ok, Sorta,,,, there was a beach ball involved at times.
Gees, if it beach ball's with this machine, what's it like for a single processor machine.
When it was time to sync these clips to iPhone, iPhone did not reply as usual, and iTunes hung solid. But I was able to select all clips wanted at will just after these clips converted.
Maybe I should have selected one at a time, vs 6.
Now do restart complete, make copies of Apple shut down reports and send those off.
Start iTunes. attach iPhone, go to movies.
Now, I can't select anything in the movie list or get the list to even move.
The box is unchecked at Sync Movies.
I don't recall what the status was prior, if the box was checked or not.
But if you now try to check the box, then this warning comes up.
What the heck is the right thing to do here?
I don't know if I want to let it do what it intends to.
It sounds to intense.
This is the warning you get/
Are you sure you want to sync movies?
All existing songs, movies and Tv shows on the iPhone will be removed and replaced with movies from your iTune library.
The iPhone still has the video's from before, and during the present attempted sync are left in place.

*Some how during the hung process with iTunes, the box showed up unchecked when iTunes was restarted.*

This is the warning you get/ *And you have to agree or no more movies*

The iPhone still has the video's inplace from before, and They were not removed during a current sync even though the movie sync box was unchecked.
* I gave up waiting for any advice, So I grabbed the evil beast by the horns, and let it do what it warned about.
I was now able to check the MOVIE SYNC box, and now able to scroll through the movie list that was locked out and select the converted to iPhone movies I wanted.
The Sync completed, and it did remove my playlist of tunes.
So I'll have to redo that part.
+*This is totally ridiculous to wipe out 500 tunes.*+
Ay least the movies of F1 racing converted look great on the iPhone.
I was ready to give up and go back to the set that worked flawless, the 6 month old BB Curve.

Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.
or is there a way to upload the digital copy to store in my iCloud account?

Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
Why ON EARTH would I want to do this?? Come on Apple, copy protection aside, this is the stupidest prompt in the history of prompts.
The basic problem (if you Google it) that many many many many legitimate purchaser's of music are running into is this prompt. And here is why:
1. We have an iPhone with a bunch of purchased songs on it and was at one point working with another iTunes library.
2. For whatever reason our computer crashes, the computer is gone/sold, not available, dead, pick your poison, it happens.
3. We setup a new computer and install iTunes and get a prompt to "Authorize" this computer (apparently we get 5 authorizations total).
4. We try to get all the songs from our iPhone back into iTunes and click the Sync button and ...
5. We get the following:
The iPhone "Your iPhone's name" 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.
Really? This is what I have to do, wipe out all my purchased songs so that iTunes and sync with a new library? At what point did Apple think this idea was even remotely in the best interest of their customers? Seriously?
So now I'm stuck with an iPhone with songs on it, a computer with songs on it, but neither able transfer songs ... Happy Happy Joy Joy. This is NUTS!? Why punish people that you can verify they've purchased their songs with this bizarre scheme ... and further more, what if some of my songs on my iPhone were brought in from a valid CD purchase?
So my only way out of this craziness, is to use a 3rd party app that will hack the transfer for me? This is good how? I'm sorry, but at what point did Apple's $40 Billion (yes Billion) profit for 2012 instigated this sort of treatment to valid paying customers?
So ... here I am, anyone have a solution to this using "valid" means (without losing all my music) or is 3rd party hacks my only option?

tt2,
So if I understand you correctly ... I can't move or sync content that was imported via my own CD's that is now on my iPhone back over to my computer?
Not with iTunes as your only tool, no.
The ONLY way I can proceed is with an iPhone backup and then restore that iPhone backup to my computer rather than my iPhone? I assume this will trigger yet another "used activation"?
No you need a third party tool that will copy your other non-iTunes purchased media and photos not in the cameral roll across to your computer. (Some are listed, you can search the web for others).
When you have recovered all the media you want you can then backup the iPhone to the computer (this backup ONLY includes application data and settings, and the cameral roll. After you have backed up this data to the computer you can then immediately restore the recently made backup to the iPhone. The data in the backup will obviously be copied back but all media must have been added to the library or it will be removed from the device.
Your lost computer will count as an "activation" as will the new one. Apple devices don't add to the count. You can reset all your activations (including those you can't physically access) every 12 months should the need arise.
Am I the only one that thinks this is the most crazy and bizarre process of simply moving a music file from one of my devices to another of my devices? Especially ones that were imported from CDs.
You still have the CDs? You can import them again. You sold, gave away, threw away the originals? Technically you no longer have the right to listen to the tracks you ripped. Is it inconvenient? Sure. One might argue that the very reason Apple & iTunes were able to drive the move to digital music to start with is that their system was designed to prevent the casual use of their devices as a means for "the kids" to simply "gift" their music libraries to each other without the tediously time-wasting efforts that the previous generation had to go through with home-taping. This no doubt helped get the content owners on board. Of course memory sticks and portable hard drives now make it trivially easy to copy content from one computer to another and indeed to simply backup your own content against a disaster but most people don't do either. Likewise they don't read instructions or terms and conditions until they are inconvenienced, and then complain. You and I might both wish iTunes made it easier, but it doesn't. And this isn't the place to complain about it. Use iTunes Feedback. You want help, it has been offered. Please read and inwardly digest it all properly this time. It does explain what you need to do to recover your data and safeguard it for the future.

Iphone wifi syncing issue with itunes 10.7
My wife and I each have iphone 4's syncing on our respective computers running Win XP Pro SP3. After upgrading to itunes 10.7 and iOS 6, itunes doesn't reliably sync via wifi. It will sync once then won't a second time unless the computer is rebooted. If I try and click the sync button on itunes, it looks for the displayed iphone then says it can't find it and the iphone disappears.This is happening on both computers. I can direct connect the iphone with usb cable and sync, but it won't sync via wifi without rebooting. I've click the "sync with wifi" button off then on. Nothing works.
We both upgraded to iphone 5's. It didn't solve the problem. I upgraded my computer to a new desktop running Win 8 Pro. Everything transferred fine and the initial sync went well, but the problem persists. After my iphone 5 sync'd with itunes overnight, the next morning it wouldn't sync again via wifi. Again, trying to initiate a sync from itunes caused the it to look for the iphone and not finding it, the iphone disappeared from itunes. Once I restarted Win 8 and itunes, the iphone showed up in itunes.
It's not the iphones(it happened with both 4's and 5's), the computers(two differnet computers) or, the OS( happens with Win XP and Win 8) so it's got to be an isssue with iTunes 10.7 and possibly it's interaction with iOS 6. We didn't have the problem before 10.7 and iOS 6 (upgraded same time).
Any suggestions? This is annoying to not have these reliably sync without intervention.
Thanks,
ZJust found another thread that helped...deleted the iTunes Library Genius file and now the Mac can load the library!

Hi,
I just bought an I-Phone 5S. When plugging it to my Macbook for the 1st time to copy music from my I-Tunes, this message comes up: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on “localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
Pls help. I'm always so scared I can loose all my contacts if i am to answer "yes". Also, why am I being told the IPhone is synced with another ITunes Library when it's litterally not been connected to any at all? I dont get it.
What shall I do?
Thanks for your help,

This would indicate that you bought a Used iPhone and/or have Connected it to another iTunes Library.
By design an iPhone can only sync to One iTunes Library at a time. -
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.

I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.
The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

Iphone not syncing after updating itunes 10.5. pls help
Hi apologies but I am new to all this stuff. I updated itunes to version 10.5 and I think my iphone 4 was synced in during this. After itunes had updated I found that my iphone wasnt synced in any longer. I pulled out connecter and re connected but still nothing. Rang apple tech support (on hold for an hour in cue). They tried couple of things and then advised to uninstall itunes then reinstall. I have done that but still not recognising iphone. I can sync to my other apple computer but if I try and upgrade to iOS5 on that it says I need to go to the normal computer it is synced with or I'll lose some apps etc. I dont think my iphone has the latest iOS 5 on it yet. Can anyone pls help? Apple support now closed :-( thanks
I am also in the same boat.
Windows 7 on Alienware laptop - no problems at all until upgrade of iTunes client to 10.5.
After the upgrade, attempts to sync my iPhone 4 hang at "Step 1 of 4: Backing up Rob's iPhone" (for over 12 hours)
I have read hundreds of documents with various solutions.
1) Delete backup file from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
2) Stop stuck MDCrashReport and AppleMobileBackup processes
3) Reinstall iTunes
It all FAILS. I work in IT and can assure you that nothing changed but whatever was changed by the iTunes application as it was upgraded to 10.5. This 2 day extravaganza is ridiculously frustrating and creating a rabid anti-apple sentiment in my house. Why the F would you (Apple) release something that is mandatory for me to use with my iPhone and have it be this buggy P.O.S.? (Rhetorical - no need to answer, please just fix this problem so I can sync and backup my phone).

Hello,
For years I have been using my main Apple ID to sync with itunes on my work laptop. Over the years we've added many i-devices (iphone, 2 ipads, ipod, apple TV) which have been all syncing to the same Apple ID. I have gotten to the point where my work computer doesn't have enough memory to house everything and I wanted to find a resolution to this.
My initial thoughts were to delete my kids' movies from the iTunes account on my computer and only keep them on the various devices. When I try to do so I get a warning that the movie I would like to delete will also delete from all of my devices. I don't want to do this...
So, I just bought a new computer for the house and have created a new Apple ID for it. I would like to transfer all of the movies currently residing on my computer with my current apple ID to the new computer with the new Apple ID. I don't want to have the movies on both Apple IDs, only one so this should not be an infringement on copyright. I've searched on the web and have not found a solution for this.
I must remove the movies from my computer (they were all purchased through iTunes, by the way) but don't want to repurchase them on the new Apple ID as it will cost me hundreds of dollars.
Any ideas on how to transfer the movies are welcomed.All iTunes purchases are permanently attached to the account used to obtain them and can't be transferred.
I would suggest you relocate your iTunes library onto a drive big enough to hold it all, with room for growth, and obtain a second to act as a backup.

IPhone 4s Sync problems to iTunes on Win 7
I have my iPhone 4s and iTunes set up for WiFi syncing.
I plug the iPhone into power, have iTunes up on the same network.
But I never see the iPhone show up under Devices.
Then I tried connecting the iPhone via USB to Windows/iTunes.
It is identified by Windows. But still not by iTunes.
Restarted iTunes. Restarted AppleMobileDeviceHelper.
Finally connected.
Here is some of the log from AppleMobileDeviceHelper:
