IPhone sync help

My dad wants to load his CDs on to his iPhone, but he doesn't have a computer. He wants to use mine to do the upload. How can this happen without him getting my music or deleting my music?

The only way for you to do that is if you were to create an additional user for him on the computer. Then you could let him log into the computer, create his own iTunes library and download then sync the music from there. Question, if he does not have a computer, where has he been backing up his phone, importing his photos and the like. Without the backup and syncing, he could lose all of his data. I'm guessing this might be a new phone and he hasn't done anything else with it yet?

  • ITunes/iPhone syncing help

    I just transferred my iTunes to a new Mac and I on my old computer I used to plug in my iPhone and drag the songs I wanted to my "device" and it would add them. For some reason when I go to drag it to my device on the new Mac it never gives me the capability of dropping it in the music folder. Help??

    Your iPhone can only be "synced" with one computer at a time. Regardless of authorization for iTunes content.
    You need to transfer ALL content from the old computer to the new. Then, you can choose to sync the iPhone by clicking on it in the sidebar, and across the top going through the Summary, Info, Music, Movies, Photos, Apps etc tabs, and checking the boxes to turn ON syncing to this new computer. It should give you a message each time you do this that says that you will wipe off existing content and then add new content that came from THIS computer instead.
    Simply de-authorizing the old computer will not solve your problem- that just tells Apple that you no longer allow the computer to play the content you purchased FROM iTunes. It does not affect syncing other than the transferrence of iTunes store purchases from the device they were bought on to the other device.

  • New iMac, iPhone sync help (previously on a pc)

    My pc was hit by lightning and died, so as a replacement i ordered a new imac, updated itunes and plugged my phone in, signed into itunes (I don't have any music or videos on my phone nor did i in the pc hard drive of itunes, but I do have a list of apps i bought and use on the phone and on the dead pc itumes).
    When I sign into the new mac with my iphone i see my phone and the apps but they are all greyed out, if i hit sync apps it tries to erase most of what I have on the phone so i hit cancel (got scared) hehe.
    Since I don't have any music or video stuff only apps how do i get this new mac to work with my previously synched itunes off that dead pc so that I don't lose my apps?
    I saw this home sharing thing and turned that on and entered my itunes info and that seems to have worked and says its on, but when i try to sync it still tries to erase most of my apps saying it will replace the apps with apps from this itunes library (which is a new computer so nothing basically).
    Thanks for any help this might be super simple even but being day one new to mac and only used itunes on that one pc ever this is all new to me as to how to make it work.

    If you sync contacts and calendar to a blank computer, then they will be erased.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy old computer to your new one.  If your backup copy was fries as well, then enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  When you first sync, you should get the option to merge.

  • I can't backup my iphone with my last iphone sync help ?

    No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

    Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

    Video podcasts have to be in SD format, not HD. Make sure you select the proper version for your touch. If you still have problems, you can click on the podcast in iTunes and select Advanced > Create an iPod or iPhone Version. That should convert the video into something that can be played.
    As far as syncing audio podcasts (I do this for video as well), I use the simple is better approach. I set iTunes to sync all unplayed podcasts and I set each podcast in iTunes to automatically delete played podcasts. The iPod is clean; iTunes is clean.

  • HT201269 I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

    I found this response to the problem in the MacRumors forum:
    "Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu, configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
    "Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network."
    I unchecked the iTunes Match on the iPhone and the music synced fine.

It is very important for me not to loose data on the iPhone. Thanks very much for your help.

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.
