Music Library, 2 phones and 1 computer

My wife and I each have an Iphone 3g, but we like different types of music. Is it possible to have our phones sync to the same library, but only sync the music she likes to her phone, and the music I like to my phone?

Yes.
It only syncs what you tell it to sync.
You can make playlists or select artists, genres, albums etc.
Open itunes, plug in iphone, go to music tab, select whatever you want.
Repeat for other phone.

If you bought this music from iTunes you can download it again from within your Purchases in the iTunes App.
Otherwise, razmee is right. you can only sync to one itunes library. If you sync to another one whatever does not exist on the new library will get removed from the phone.
That's is by design to avoid Piracy. As otherwise you could simply transfer purchases to other users.

Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one.

i had the same fright
The update takes a LONG time... but with the new system, you can keep using your phone during the update, so it doesnt FEEL like it is updating...
you have probably interrupted the update, just like I did
plug your phone in... "continue the update" or hit the sync button to psh it in... and leave it there
unless you have enabled sync over wifi (which still only works when you are plugged in)
just be patient... and there shouldbe a flashing "synching" symbol at the top of your phone screen

I have an iphone 5 with iOS 6. I just tried to sync it with my itunes account to put new music on my phone and it gave me a message that said the iphone could not be synced b/c "the sync session had failed to start". How do I fix this?

I have an iphone 5 with ios 6.1.4. I just tried to sync my phone to my itunes acct to load new music onto my phone and it gave me a message saying that it was unable to sync b/c "the sync session failed to start". It let me download all pictures, but would not let me do anything else and just kept repeating the same message. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.
Photostream transfers photos taken on your iOS devices to other devices and your computer. For troubleshooting Photostream see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989

I decided to change my apple id on my iphone 5 to have a seperate account from the other people in my family. I changed all of the setting to the new id and I can't sync apps or music to my phone and i dont know what else to do. Please help!!!

I decided to change my apple id on my iphone 5 to have a seperate account from the other people in my family. I changed all of the settings to the new id and I can't sync new apps or music to my phone and apps on my phone will not sync to my computer. Please help!!!

If you didn't already do so, authorize your computer for the new ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer. Then sync your phone with iTunes.

Music library is corrupt and can't be recove

okay- here's the deal. Had a Zen xtra for 2 years with no problems LOVED it! the battery started screwing up so I had purchased the extended warranty from best buy and turned it in for a brand new one. This is when it started giving me this error:"Your Music Library is Corrupted and cannot be recovered. Media Source will now revert to your most recent backup avaiable. Would you like to continue?"--no matter if I clicked yes or no, the following message pops up:"The PC Music library cannot be opened as the database engine is corrupted. Please run the microsoft jetengine 4.0 service pack 3 or above that is available at the microsoft website".--- I have the most current updates on my computer. I am running XP. I've tried deleting everything and starting over and still get the same thing. Don't know much about computers but is it pointing to the right database? Is there a registry that I need to erase? What is going on? Please help! ANYONE!!!!!! I need my music by this Thursday becasue I am going on vacation!!!
thanks, jksprout

How do I get my music library from icloud to my computer so I can synch to my new iPod?

How do I get my music library from icloud to my computer so I can synch to my new iPod? I can't seem to find help support to answer this question.

Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

This did not happen by syncing with iTunes alone. The Camera Roll is not included or touched with the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that has been used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up as a new iPhone or don't transfer the backup for the previous or old iPhone. You chose the former, which replaced the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with the Camera Roll for your previous iPhone. This was followed by a sync with iTunes.
If you didn't import the photos from the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with your computer as with any other digital camera before you chose to transfer the backup for your old or previous iPhone to your new iPhone, the photos that were in the Camera Roll on your new iPhone are gone.

How can I get the iTunes music on my phone on my computer as well? Some of it is there but not everything...

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!
