Is there any way to share music from my itunes library with a iphone not synced with my mac?

I use my itunes with my Iphone, But my husband has an iphone also and wants some music from my library to be put on his phone. How can i do this without transfrring his iphone to my itunes and visa versa?

No. Ignore the above post as it is completely wrong, & the poster has no idea what he/she is talking about. By design, an iPhone will sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to do so with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer.

Is there a way to delete music from the iTunes library whilst keeping it on your iPhone/device?

I would like to keep my entire music library on my iPhone but not on my actual laptop.
Previously with my iPod classic, I could add music manually via iTunes and once it was on my iPod classic, then delete it off my laptop. I have tried to do the same with my iPhone but each time I try to unselect the "Sync music" box in the music section it tells me that it will delete all music off my iPhone if I continue.
Can anyone help?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

You could also batch select the songs (works for songs in order, such as an album - click the first song you want deleted, hold down Shift, then click the last) and hit the Delete key on your keyboard. You can also choose multiple random songs by clicking one, holding Ctrl on your keyboard and clicking the others you want selected, then hitting the Delete key.

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.

Is there any way to make my iPod THE iTunes Library?

Is there any way to make my iPod THE iTunes Library? I would like to free up all the space my iTunes Library takes up on my MacBook Pro, so I was considering purchasing an portable external hard drive to hold my iTunes Library…then it dawned on me… why shouldn’t I just be able to use my iPod for this? But not as simply a hard drive, but be able to access my songs on the iPod the same as I do now?

You can delete all the songs from your computer and just keep them on the iPod by changing the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". In manual mode you can connect and play the songs from your iPod through iTunes on your computer. You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem (and that's a very strong possibility). You should reconsider your original idea of investing in an external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

HT3819 I just bought my kids iPods. How can we share music from my iTunes library without crossing over with text messages, etc?

I just bought my 3 kids iPods. How can we share music from my iTunes library without crossing over with texts, apps, etc?

Create new IDs for each by:
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use that Id only for:
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

I cannot move music from my itunes library to my iphone after an update

Hi
I recently updated my iphone 3GS and now I cannot move any music from my itunes library to my iphone. I have also had to sync my iphone with my laptop as my PC that I used before no longer works.

Connect the phone to your computer
Wait for it to appear in the list on the left side of iTunes
Click once on it in that list
Look to the right and scroll down to Options - one of the checkboxes says Manually manage music and videos

Is there ANY way to transfer songs from ipod to library???

I have an Ipod mini, and I have received about 200 songs from 3 or 4 of my friends libraries, but now I can't put those songs in MY library. I really want to burn some of them onto cd's etc etc in case my ipod goes down, but the songs need to be from your LIBRARY. Is there ANY way to do this (trick, program, accessory, etc??)
If not, is there any way to burn songs from ipod to a cd?? I want to get a support together in case my computer or ipod break. Thank you!!
By the way, obviously I have Windows. Its XP to if that helps.

How do I move music from my iTunes library to my iPhone?

iTunes 12 is certainly a different UI from before. Previously, there was an icon of my plugged-in iPhone in the upper right corner of the UI to which I could drag items I wanted to transfer to my phone - movies, music, etc.
That's gone. I'm seeing my iTunes library, and the iTunes store, but no references at all to my iPhone 6 that's plugged in.
So, how do I now transfer items from my iTunes library to my iPhone???

You can connect your iPhone (wired) to you Mac and in iTunes an iPhone-icon will appear right next to the three dot in the white top bar. It will also appear in the sidebar you can open by clicking on the playlistsbutton right next to My Music. If you click on your iPhone in the sidebar all folders on the iPhone will be unfolded and you can drag and drop music from you library to you iPhone (as shown in the screenshot below).
If you click on the iPhone icon in the white bar, you get the screens to manage the content of you iPhone and synchronize.
PS: the iPhone should appear wireless as well, but does not most of the time. This is a bug. I expect it to be solved in the next update. Until then we must work wired.

the easiest way is to create a playlist with the tunes you want on the iPad and sync that playlist to it.

Is there any way to put music from itunes onto your 5th generation ipod touch without running iTunes 11?

Hi everyone...hoping someone can help me!
I have an older Macbook (I think 2008?) and I have Snow Leopard 6.8 but now the iTunes store is saying I cannot download Mountain Lion because my computer doesn't support it. I recently got a new iPod (the newest iPod touch) and would like to use it to actually listen to music as opposed to just using it for apps and Skype! Is there any way to get around this issue?
Thanks for the help!

iTunes 11 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, and that iPod touch model is compatible with iTunes 10.7.

Is there any way to transfer music from a library to an Apple ID?

A couple of months ago, my Apple ID was hacked. I had to get a new one because whoever hacked it changed the password and the email and it didn't even show up in Apple's database when I called them. My problem is that I have A LOT of songs that I bought with my old ID. If anything happens to my computer, I dont want to lose all of them. Is there any way to transfer at least the PURCHASED songs in my library to my new ID? I don't know if the Apple guy had any idea what I meant when I asked him this back when it all happened, but he said there was and I haven't been able to find it...

Back up the purchases.

HT4059 Is there any way to read ibooks in my itunes library from my PC?

I have an ipad2 but would also like to be able to read purchased books on my PC (XP). Itunes does display the books I've purchased but I haven't been able to figure out how to read them using the PC. Is there any way to do this or is this just a 'feature' that apple thinks will make me a 'fan'?
Thanks,
monty4135

Thanks roaminggnome... I was afraid of that. Sigh... The corporate understanding of what's 'proprietary' vs. what is flexible and useful amazes me. Especially when they express amazement and outrage over market loss when someone else comes along with a product which does this. That's usually when they go to congress for a 'law' to protect their corporate butts. Anyway, thanks for your help.
