Itunes wants me to sync my iphone even though I tried to select manual manage my music

So my computer died right before I got an iphone. My apple ID is set up with my old computer, so all the music I've downloaded have been added to my phone. I'm now sharing my boyfriend's computer, but when I went to add music to my phone is wouldn't allow me. I tried to select manually manage, but to apply it I have to sync my phone with the current library (which it the opposite thing I want when I click manually manage). I looked into it and syncing my phone will delete all the content not backed up on icloud. Is there another way to add music on my phone without deleting everything on it? I dont have any music from my old computer on my phone because my computer died before I could, all my music is from the cloud. Is there a way around syncing? I dont want my boyfriends music on my phone.

Try to disable autosync and backup manually by right clicking on your phone in the device list in itunes.

  • ITunes wants to download new iOS update even though iPhone has already updated.

    I updated my iPhone 5 to 7.1.2 through my phone settings. I connect it to iTunes so I can restore my phone because I like doing so to get a little bit of storage space back every now and then. Once I click Restore, it says iTunes wants to download the 7.1.2 update. Now my question is why does it want to download it when it says that my phone is already updated to 7.1.2. This is very tedious because the download shows up to at least five hours. My iTunes is updated to most recent one as well. I just want to be able to restore my phone without having to download this 7.1.2 update even though my phone is already at 7.1.2. Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

    I've managed to log in - reset everything to English - and run a backup - which of course took ten minutes and then gave me an error -1 code at the end.
    All of my apps seem to be sitting on my imac itunes but they are not sitting on my ipad anymore.
    Going to try to sync one of them over to my ipad but I suspect that all of the content in them is probably gone....

  • Photos from Mac still appearing on iPhone, even though "sync photos from iPhoto" is unticked in iTunes?

    A colleague has all his Mac photos showing up on his iPhone, even though the "Sync with iPhoto" tickbox is unticked when he syncs it with iTunes. He has PhotoStream turned off. What else is possible to clear the photos off his iPhone please?

    Have him try putting the checkmark back in front of "Sync Photos From" on the Photos page of iTunes and change the selection of photos to be synced so that only one or two new photos is selected (and none of the existing ones) and then sync. If that removes the existing ones, then remove the checkmark and sync again.

  • I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though, itunes automatically putting books on my idevices

    I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though I did not want this. I added them to itunes using add to library and I have both devices set to sync only selected books.
    How do I do this in the future so this doesnt happen? Its a lot of work to now manually erase them from each device and it sent my phone over capacity.
    thanks

    I dont see the difference in the posts. I dont think theres anything inaccurate or misleading about what I wrote. The items were immediately added to my ipad and my iphone, even though I have them both set to sync only select items. As soon as I added new titles to my itunes library, they were immediately added to the devices. Not on the next sync. Immediately. Both devices were plugged into the computer at the time. Sorry if I failed to mention they were plugged in but I dont see the signifigance youre making out of it. The problem persists anyway.
    Now that I did a test without the devices plugged in, the new items were still added as soon as I plugged my devices into the computer ( I do not have them set to sync over wifi).
    Since I have both devices set to manually select items to sync, of course I want to manually select new items to sync. For instance, I am not going to read any of these magazines or books on my phone, ever, and I dont want to waste valuable space with them.
    So I'm trying your advice:
    I just tried deselecting sync books. It erased all content from ibooks on my device. I then dragged
    one title onto the device, and it just goes back to syncing select books, with the one title selected.
    It appears that wont work to solve my issue. The next time I add something to itunes it will be put on my phone. Is this really something most people want? To select to manualy control what content is synced, but then have things automatically added. It seems inconsistent to me.

  • ITunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library is empty

    Exactly what the title says. iTunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library only has a couple of photos in it that obviously don't take up that much space. I tried unselecting "Sync Photos from..." in iTunes and syncing my iPhone that way, but nothing happened. The two photos remained in the Photo Library, and iTunes continues to say i have 15.4GB of photos. What gives?

    You cannot.
    There a re not duplicates on your iphone.  Just as a song is in your music library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same pics ( not duplicates) can be viewed from the folders/albums.
    This is how Apple handles photos.

  • HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

    Copy all the contents currently on your iPod Classic to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option.  Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course). 
    Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

  • HT1386 the ituns can't start syncing my iPhone

    The ITunes can not start Syncing my iPhone  it was working well
    Recently I installed Picasa and Photoshop CS 6

    You need to install an ATT USA SIM card for a moment to Activate your iPhone. It does not need to be active SIM, but it has to be ATT.
    You are correct, you said, "I understand that if i do a SW update the phone gets locked again to the original network (U.S in this case) and will not work in N.Z.
    If you search the Web there are ways to Activate your iPhone without a SIM card, but these methods cannot be discussed on Apple Forums.

  • Will my Macbook running 10.5.8 and itunes 10.6.3 sync an iphone 4 running ios7?

    Will my Macbook running 10.5.8 and itunes 10.6.3 sync an iphone 4 running ios7?

    No. To update to the latest version of iTunes you need to upgrade the OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

    i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

    I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos?  Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
    Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes?  Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
    What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?
