Manage apps on one computer, music on another?

I have two computers and one iPhone. Ideally, I would like to manage iPhone apps on one computer and the music and video on the other computer. I would like to do this because all my music and video is on one computer, but, I suspect, there are problems with the OS and I have had some problems with my iPhone when I managed the apps from that machine.
Is there any way of doing this?

If you have an external hard drive with enough storage capacity to store all iTunes content except for apps, you need to make use of it for this. Or purchase an external drive that does have enough storage capacity and then some for your entire iTunes library.
Apps will continue to be stored in the Mobile Applications folder in the iTunes folder located in the Music folder with the computer used for syncing and with the external drive attached storing all other iTunes content - music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts.

  • Photos library on one computer music on another computer cant sync both .

    Ok I got my photo library on one computer with itunes registered to me. I have my video and music and ringtones on another computer with itunes registered to me. I want the ringtones and video from one computer on my iphone but I have to erase my photo library.
    I am NOT GOING TO MOVE MY PHOTO LIBRARY TO AN OTHER COMPUTER just so the iPhone can access MY FILES.
    What can i do.

    really, despite what you don't want to do, Transferring all of your photos from one library to another isn't that hard:
    1. Insert a blank CD or DVD depending on how many photos you have.
    2. Select all of the photos in you iPhoto library and drag them to the CD/DVD. Burn it.
    3. Insert the CD/DVD into the computer with the music.
    4. Open iPhoto, open the CD/DVD. Select all of the photos on the CD/DVD. Drag them to your iPhoto library.
    5. And your done...depending on how many photos you have the import will only take anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour...so whats the big deal?
    Hope this helps!

    how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
    The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

  • Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

    Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

    Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

  • I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

    I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

    What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync.  Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes.  When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it.  Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone.  After selecting your apps then you can sync.  Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

  • If i download this app on one computer, will i have to pay again to install it on another one of my computers

    if i download this app on one computer, will i have to pay again to install it on another one of my computers

    The Mac App Store allows you to install a purchased app on any computer if you sign into the same AppleID in the app store. You will not need to purchase again. In fact, all you need to do is sign into your account on the 2nd and subsequent computer and then click on the Purchased icon at the top and you'll see a complete list of apps you've purchased. If an app is not installed on the current computer, the button on the right will become an Install button.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.
