Itunes on laptop and pc and iphone

I have two itunes accounts.  One on laptop and one on pc.  I have an iphone4.  When I sync with laptop, it replaces itunes with pc itunes.  If I sync with pc, it replaces pc itunes with laptop itunes.  I have different things in both.  I want to close one but I don't want to lose what I have already purchased in it.  Can you merge the two and have only one or is there a way to put what is in both itunes acct. on the iphone.

"  When I sync with laptop, it replaces itunes with pc itunes.  If I sync with pc, it replaces pc itunes with laptop itunes.  "
This is absolutely correct.  The iphone will sync with on and ony one computer at a time.  This is how it works.
Why do you have two accounts?  This generally does not work out well.
Put all of your music on one computer and sync from there.

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • No Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 3GS after iOS 5

    I made the Update to iTunes 10.5 on my Notebook with Windows XP and the Update to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS.
    I had a lot of Problems (the Backup had an Error, my outgoing Mails were all deleted in all Mail Accounts, the Synchronisation of Music and Apps needs a lot of Synchronisations and a lot of Time and so on) with these Updates and I need more than 12 Hours at the Moment to repair all the Errors.
    My last Problem is:
    There is no Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone with iOS 5.
    I can not see my Photos in my iPhone.
    The Capacity in iTunes 10.5 shows 4,4 GB Fotos on my iPhone, but in my iPhone, there is no Folder in the Photo App and so I can not see the 4,4 GB of my Photos.
    This Problem comes with iOS 5. I had this Problem never before.
    First, I gave in iTunes a OK for a Home Sharing of Music, Videos, Photos and so on for the Folders and for the iPhone.
    Second, I was in iTunes in Photos and deleted the Check in the Folder Photos.
    Third, I made a Synchronisation with iTunes and the iPhone.
    Fourth, the Capacity of the Photos was then only at 0,17 GB.
    Fifth, I close iTunes and switched off the iPhone.
    Sixth, I started iTunes and iPhone new and bring both together with the USB-Port.
    Seventh, the Syncronisation started and the Capacity of the Photos in iTunes was at 0,17 GB, too.
    Eigth, I set a new Check in the Folder Photos in iTunes for a Synchronisation.
    Ninth, the Capacity showed 4,4 GB again.
    Tenth, the Synchronisation started and showed on the Display "2 Photos of 16.000".
    Eleventh, the Synchronisation Circle stopped after 10 Seconds, but the Notebook worked 2 Minutes longer.
    And after this the Synchronisation stopped appruptely / crashed (?) and the Photos are "unvisible" on the iPhone.
    Is this a known Bug?
    Has Someone a Solution for a correct Synchronisation of the Photos, so that I can see successfully my Photos in my iPhone again?
    Thank you very much for your Help!

    Ever since my upgrade to iTunes 10.5 my laptop has been crashing.  I've heard that the update ***** up 100% of your CPU, essentially crashing your computer.  Apple, fix this now!!!

  • Can I sync a desktop, laptop and iPhone?

    I want to sync my desktop, laptop and iPhone - I am able to sync 2 of the 3 - but not all 3 of them.
    Is it possible to sync them all?
    If not, if I bookmark something on the one that isn't synced, then it won't be added to my iphone (for example).
    Thank you!

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

  • Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but ITunes, my iPad and iPhone does.  I have rest my password three times, same results. Also, ATV says my computer is not authorized, but I-Tunes says it is.

    Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does.  I have rest my password three times, same results.
    ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
    I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store.  Both on the same network!
    I am so frustrated with this system!  All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
    In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
    An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhone

    I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
    I Am using a Macpro though.
    i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
    However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 -- all of my third-party apps missing

    I'm not exactly sure where the issue came from, but I somehow lost all of my apps as I upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and the iPhone 4 today. But I figured out what happened and *I have the solution*, which I'd like to share...
    This occurred on June 24, 2010 (iPhone 4 launch day). The steps I took to upgrade to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 were as such:
    1) I did a full sync and backup of my iPhone 3GS with iTunes 9.1.
    2) I upgraded iTunes 9.1.x.xx to iTunes 9.2.0.61 (the first version compatible with iPhone 4).
    3) I activated my new iPhone 4 and set it up based on my 3GS's back up data.
    4) When it was done setting up the iPhone 4, I noticed that all of the native apps and their app data were intact, but I was missing all of my third-party app store apps. Note that all the apps on my 3GS were obviously still intact.
    5) I noticed that I had zero apps in the iTunes library (at the top left under "Library"). Thus, with my 3GS plugged in, I right clicked on the iPhone in iTunes under "Devices" and selected "Transfer Purchases". This transferred all of the apps on my 3GS to the iTunes library.
    6) I plugged in my iPhone 4, and noticed that on the "Apps" tab under "Devices / iPhone name", the "Sync Apps" box was unchecked. So I checked it, and it gives you a scary message saying that all of the apps in the iTunes Library (which I had just populated in step 5) will overwrite the app data on your iPhone. I didn't have any app data on my iPhone 4, so I clicked "OK". All of the apps transferred from the iTunes Library to my iPhone 4 with all of the app data (game saves, etc) intact.
    So that's my solution. I'm sure this must be happening to other people. My main piece of advice is: after upgrading to iTunes 9.2 and syncing your old phone for the last time, make sure you have apps in your App Library and "Sync Apps" is checked. If not, follow the steps above.
    This same issue also happened to my friend, but he doesn't have his old iPhone 3GS to restore the app data from. If anyone has any suggestions as to how he can save his app data, please let me know. Thanks.
    Craig

    Well this won't work for me...
    I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
    NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

  • How do I get an adapter for a laptop and iPhone to use them in New Zealand and Australia?

    How do I gwet an adapter for a laptop and Iphone to use in New Zealand and Australia?

    For the iPhone the regular power adapter will work worldwide. All you need is a plug aapter. 99% of all laptop power packs are also universal. (All Apple laptops certainly are). Look at the label. If it says 120-240 volts, 50/60 Hz it will work anywhere in the world. Again, all you need is a converter for the prongs on the plug.

  • Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices

    Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

    Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
    I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
    I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
    Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19952545#19952545
    Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

  • My iPad is not connecting to the wifi although my laptop and iPhone are. the screen saysno internet connection

    My iPad has stopped connecting to my wifi and says No Internet Connection, even though I have 3 bars wifi and my laptop and iPhone in the same room are connected

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Sync contacts on laptop and iPhone

    How do I sync my contacts with laptop and iPhone over iCloud? Updated contacts 24 hours ago on laptop, iPhone contacts didn't change. What do I do?

    It's either the connection from the laptop to icloud or from icloud to iphone that's the problem.  To find the answer, do the following...
    Using a computer's browser log into icloud.com and then look at the contacts page.  If the edits show up there, then the problem is from icloud to iphone.  If edits are not there, then the problem is from laptop to icloud.
    Whichever device the problem points to, verify that it is logged into the right icloud account and that Contacts is turned on.  (System preferences>icloud on mac or Settings>icloud on ios device.

  • Putting My iTunes on my new laptop and iPhone

    I recently got a new MacBook and iPhone. I have an iTunes account on my Mac home computer and an iTouch with all my songs on it. Is there way to put my my iTunes account on my MacBook and then on my iPhone? So the end result would be: Mac home computer, iTouch, iPhone and MacBook all be the same.

    I will tell you what I did (attempted), the result- but ran into some "!" problems that I am still trying to find the solution to.
    Run a Fire wire between the Laptop & Desktop. Start up your Laptop while holding down the "T" key. This will create your Laptop's Hard drive to pop up on your Desktop as an additional external drive. Then, simply copy over your entire iTunes Folder (music, library files and all) as a mirror image of what you have on your Desktop. Be sure to put it in the same place, with the same Preferences for both iTunes. It worked seamlessly for me for a while.
    My (still) problem is that after writing over the Laptop files several times to update, most of my links became broke displaying a "!" - I know not why, resulting in me having to manually re-link each Tune- a long and laborious process. Nobody in these Forums has come up with an adequate reason or solution.
    Someone suggested a "Doug App" that re-links all the Tunes in one fell swoop- but Mr. Doug is not responding to emails- so the App is a "dud-by Doug dude" as far as I am concerned.
    This will get you half way there. But if you are a professional utilizing a large # of Tunes- beware.
