Mobile Phones can only Sync with one Library?

Sup all. My current mobile phone is Rokr E1 (the first phone with iTunes), hence I'm exposed to iTunes. The problem lies here. I had this library full of songs. However, recently I changed my com and accidentally lose everything(songs, pictures, videos,etc.). After getting my new com, I downloaded back iTunes and continued adding songs into my phone, but to no avail.
They tell me that a Mobile Phone can only be Sync-ed with one Library at a time, and that all my songs in my phone will be replaced by the songs in my new library (which there is none) if i adhered to it. In other words, I cant add new songs into my Phone without my old Library, but I lost my old Library. Any Ideas how to continue adding songs into my Phone? Thanks. Great Helps Appreciated. =)

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library.  If all the content that is on your iPod is in iTunes, there shouldn't be a problem. Just go ahead and sync your iPod
Otherwise, you are probably wanting to copy everything from your iPod back to your PC first. If that is the case, you should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.

Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

  • I just bought an audiobook, it says I cant sync it to my phone because it can only sync with one library at a time and it wants to erase my phone completely. How can I get an audiobook without erasing my entire library of 2500 songs and other books?

    How can I sync a new audiobook without having to erase my entire library?

    Put the audiobook in the library on your computer, then sync to the phone.

  • IPhone can only sync with one computer?

    Well I'm not even really syncing my iPhone, I set it to manual so I could pull songs off of my cousins computer because I don't put many songs on mine. But I went over his house and said I had sync it thus I had to delete all the songs off my iPhone so I could get his... I didn't do it but I have to ask, is this suppose to happen? Or is there a way around it like I could do with my iPod?

  • I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

    i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

    Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
    iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

    -Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • ITunes created a second podcast section in my library, but my iPod can only sync with one

    Hi,
    I've tried searching for something related to this, so apologies if this has been covered already.
    Under "Library" on the lefthand side of iTunes I have
    Music
    Movies
    Podcasts
    Podcasts
    Itunes U
    Books
    Note that there are now two listings for podcasts. I have no idea how this happened. I've been using iTunes on this Mac, subscribing to podcasts, for just short of five years. Yesterday I was downloading some new items as podcasts from Librivox.org -- something I have done before, including in recent days -- and the new items unexpectedly went into the (just then created) second podcast section under "library". Not surprisingly, my iPod will only recognize one podcast section (happens to be the newer one).
    Again, though this happened while at librivox.org, I have downloaded stuff from them clicking on the same things before, including just a day or two ago, and this never happened before.
    1) How do I get all podcasts into one folder so I can choose from my whole library of podcasts when syncing with my iPod?
    2) If item 1 above is not possible, at least how can I prevent this from happening again?
    Many thanks!

  • I just bought a new computer, now itunes tells me I can only sync with one computer.  It only offers me the choice to erase and sync.  I do not want to erase my ipod, I just want my music on the new computer.  Can't I just transfer the songs from the ipod

    I just bought a new computer.  Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer.  I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod.  Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there?  I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.

    You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

  • How many tvs can i sync to one library?

    This is a simple question, I know. Is there a limit to how many tvs i can sync to my hypothetical Mac Pro? I'm a very analytical buyer and can't find a confirming statement to satisfy.
    If you'd like to dive further: I am constantly trying to design the simplest whole-house media experience. (not financially fit, yet dreamily idealistic). My latest reduction is this: 1 Mac Pro jammed full of iTunes music/movies and eyeTV recordings. An tv/tv/sound system in every desired room(5). And a MacBook to float around. Your thoughts? (if you must burst my bubble, try let me down easy)

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Not sure I can answer your question with 100% certainty, but have likely got some good news for you.
    I have 5 tv's and 7 macs from which they feed. Not every tv is linked to every mac indeed it can't be, a single tv can only sync with one itunes library and stream from up to 5. However the itunes library on my mac is our main library and is used by every tv.
    Whilst I am certain that each tv can work with up to 5 libraries I have never seen any specifications about how many tv's a single library can support, although I have delved into the text strings buried inside the itunes application and seen error messages which tend to suggest the answer is 5. Clearly only having 5 tv's I'm unable to test my findings.
    I have seen a report about someone setting up 40 tv's in a motel from one library, but I have my suspicions that even if true it might not be quite as straight forward as it seems, but who am I to question other peoples claims.
    However since you seem to indicate you want to have 5 tv's I am able to confirm that 5 do work.
    Although this may be initially good news for you, you may have to give the matter a little more thought. I have set up an gigabit ethernet network to which my mac is directly attached as are 4 wifi networks to enable 3 of the tv's to work wirelessly alongside a number of other wifi devices I have running in our household.
    Also whilst I don't actually know, I suspect I have never actually had 5 tv's trying to stream from my library at once, indeed I suspect I have never had more than 3 tv's actually working at once from the same library, although I suppose it would be easy enough to test more.
    If you suspect that you may need 5 tv's working from the same library at the same time then you might want to implement syncing to reduce the possible load on your network and your single library, as each tv is capable of syncing with a single library it would be possible to enable syncing on all your tv's.
    If you have anymore specific questions about my set up or how it works please feel free to ask, as I have only given you a basic outline of my experience.

  • I just found out my iPod touch will only sync to one library, what is the difference in technology of the iPod touch and iPod that makes this so?

    I just found out in iTunes help that my iPod touch will only sync to one library unlike iPod.  What is the difference in technology between the iPod touch and the iPod that makes this so?
    Thanks

    You can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries by following these instructions. You can only sync apps and photos from one library.
