Manage music and videos manually from more than one computer

Hello,
I'm triying to transfer music from two computers (work computer and home computer) to my iPhone. The problem is that when I select the Manage music and videos manually on my iTunes and then apply it keep saying that the iPhone is already synchronized with another computer and if I accept I lose all the media (video and music) on my iPhone. I just want to add new videos and new music manually without losing the existing ones, is it possible?.
I'm using the iPhone 3G with iTunes 7.7 (last version) and Windows Vista.
Thank you

Then it is not possible to add new music files or video files to my iPhone from more that one computer without losing the ones I already transfered from another computer. This is a pitty
Thank you very much

Grayed out songs on iTunes despite "Manage music and videos manually" being checked.

I had to restore my iPod, and when I synced it after the restore, the songs were gone on my iPod like it is supposed to be, but on iTunes they are still there but grayed out. I have already done the "manage music and videos manually" thing, I delete all of the grayed out songs and try to add the songs from my library back to my iPod, but they are still grayed out. Please help if you can, I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't use manually manage so I'm at a loss as to why anyone would.
However, if I was Syncing my iPod to iTunes, then the picture you have posted would be just like that while iTunes was busy putting my music back onto my iPod. That's what the little double-arrow icon means; it's a list of files that you have asked to be put on the iPod (in my case, by Syncing the ticked items in my Library and in yours - apparently, by manually dragging them from the library to the iPod).
As each file is successfully added to the iPod, the progress arrows icon disappears and the song (file) name is no longer greyed out.

"Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

Hello all,
I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
Help, please!

iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

Syncing from more than one computer

Ok, Apple experts, looking for some help. I currently sync my Itouch with my Toshiba laptop, that's where I have all my music,videos etc... I recently bought an Aspire one that I loaded Itunes on, is there anyway to keep all my music on my I touch but sync it with my Aspire one to get new songs and movies added to the I touch while i'm traveling, (basically trying to use the Aspire as my travel notebook, instead of the toshiba)
any help would be greatly appreciated
peace..

Select “Manually manage music and videos” to turn off automatic syncing in the Music and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 31.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf
Manually Managing Content
The manually managing feature lets you choose just the music, video, and podcasts
you want to have on iPod touch.
Set up iPod touch for manually managing content:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
3 Click the Summary tab and select “Manually manage music and videos.”
4 Click Apply.
Add items to iPod touch: Drag a song, video, podcast, or playlist in your iTunes library
to iPod touch (in the sidebar). Shift-click or Command-click to select multiple items to
add at the same time.
iTunes syncs the content immediately. If you deselect “Manually manage music and
videos,” the content you added manually is removed from iPod touch the next time
iTunes syncs content.
Remove items from iPod touch: With iPod touch connected to your computer, select
the iPod touch icon in the iTunes sidebar. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the
icon to show the contents. Select a content area, such as Music or Movies, then select
the items you want to delete and press the Delete key on the keyboard.
Removing an item from iPod touch doesn’t delete it from your iTunes library.
Important: If you delete an item from iTunes, it will also be deleted from iPod touch
the next time you sync.

Can i sync my iphone and ipod's to more than one computer?

Can i sync my iphone 4 and ipod's (we have #) to more than one compute? so we call all share the music.
Also can you inport music from an ipod to itunes? (music has already been deleted from the library)

Switching the computer will erase your device and replace the content of it with the content of the new iTunes library. But you can share your music by using Home Sharing. iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing
Purchased music can be copied back by using "transfer purchases" from the iTunes menu or, if not purchased from iTunes, by using 3rd party software http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

How can I synchronize safely from more than one computer?

First, I have set up my iPod to work with two computers: my primary computer, which is my desktop at home. Later, I also "authorized" my laptop (as a secondary source) to also be able sync to my iPod.
My question is that when I go to synchronize some podcasts I just downloaded to my secondary computer (my laptop), I get the following prompt: "Are you sure you want to sync podcasts? All existing podcsts on the iPod '<my iPod's name>' will be replaced with podcasts from your iTunes library."
From this message, since my iPod is plugged into my laptop, I assume it's referring to my iTunes library on my laptop (which only has the few podcasts I just downloaded). And it sounds like it's going to delete the podcasts that are already on my iPod.
I definitely don't want it to "replace" the ones I already have sync'd from my home computer; +_I just want to add the ones I have downloaded to my laptop._+ How can I make it so I can safely add the new ones without disturbing those I already have sync'd and want to keep? I'm a bit confused about how syncing works when you have more than one computer to sync to the iPod.

You cannot do what you want.
The ipod touch can sync with ONE computer/library at a time.
When you sync to a different computer/library, the ipod touch will first delete the current itunes content form the iphone, then it will sync the content from the new computer.
This is the way it is designed.

How do i print from more than one computer?

How do I set up my HP 4500 Envy printer to print by wireless for more than one laptop user?

Hi @MHorton,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are wondering how to set up your HP 4500 Envy printer to print by wireless for more than one laptop user.
In short, you will need to install the full feature software and drivers for each laptop, and make sure they are connected to the same wireless network as the printer.
Please see this guide, Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection, for further assistance.
If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
Hope this information helps, please let me know if you have any other questions!

Can you download music from more than one computer?

My sister and I both have ipod minis and is there a way for me to download some of her music from her to computer to my ipod mini as well as from my own?

Set the iPod mini to manage music manually, and you can then transfer music to it from multiple computers.

Updating iWeb site from more than one computer

I have had an iMac for some time and use it to maintain an iWeb site. I just got a MacBook and would like to be able to publish to the site from either computer. How do I get my existing iWeb site into iWeb '08 on the new MacBook?

If you plan on moving between the two Macs frequently try using a flash drive.

Connect the device to your computer. Open iTunes. Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list. Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos". Click Apply. but after that say's everything on my iPhone will be deleted

Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.

Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
Click Apply.

Syncing on more than one computer

Having just got my iPod touch in past few days can I sync cd's on other computers other than my main computer via itunes or will I lose all the information in the library of itunes when I go back to my main computer?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You need to set your iPod to manual to do this.
Select the iPod under Devices on the left hand side. On the Summary tab choose "Manually Manage Music and Videos". From this point you will drag content onto the iPod rather than checking the boxes on the Music and Video tabs in iTunes, but you will be able to do so from multiple PCs.
Merry Christmas
