New to iTunes syncing...so you're telling me...

..that once I put albums on my iPhone thru iTunes at home...i CANT add more albums to my iPhone from work thru iTunes without losing all the ones I synced from home?!?!? *** is that crap?

iPhone/iPod is all new to me...I've been with VZW for over 12 years and needed a new phone..being anti-apple I couldnt help but loving the iPhone when messing with my friends...so I got it. I love the phone but just hate iTunes. My old MP3 player was drag and drop and so easy. Just not liking the restrictions. Sure, I can understand the piracy aspect but for some honest people just wanting to be able to sync music at work and music at home..just gets a little annoying.
wjosten...i know what hex editing is...hmm...will google.

  • HT2729 New laptop- iTunes Sync

  • New iPhone/iTunes Sync Seems Forever

    I'm just very disappointed that it's so far taken 45 minutes to sync my 16GB iPhone 3G, and all I did was add one song and re-arrange the icons from iTunes 9. I hope it doesn't do this every time I do a sync. Seems like the initial sync after upgrading to iTunes 9 and OS 3.1 wasn't that bad, but this one was a time killer.. I thought the syncing was supposed to be way faster by now..

  • I was restoring my ipad and itunes synced now it is telling the ipad may be damaged and to take it to a store.  100 miles away from nearest.  I think i did everything correct how do i get the ipad to turn back on.

    i was restoring the ipad due to password (which was remembered but was not working) blocking restriction.  Decided to restore to original settings and it seemed like it went thru.  but when came to end it said to take device to apple store.  Can anyone help.  I am 80 miles from the nearest store.

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

    Copy the music from Nano to computer by:

  • Transfer info to new computer for syncing

    I just got a new MBP coming from an older mb. How do i sync my iphone to the new computer without loosing the information already on it?

    You need to move everything from the old computer to the new one, then sync.
    You can use migration assistant to do this or target mode or your backup.

  • Where do you find the ringtone tab on your personal itunes so that you can sync new ringtones to your iphone?

I am trying to get ringtones from my ringtone app onto my phone and the directions said to click Ringtones on the top of iTunes. I am having trouble finding the Ringtones on the top of iTunes.

    Go to edit then preferences in itunes on your computer and then check the box TONES and then click OK.  with your phone attached to your computer with USB cable select the name of your phone on the left and then in window on right select TONES from the menu items across the top of the window

  • I recently got a new computer. itunes recognized my iphone 4. I then changed my password, but it did not change on the phone. I did sync the phone afterwards. How do I get the phones password to change to the new password in itunes. Thank you

    I recently bought a new computer. itunes recognized my iphone 4. I then changed my username and password in itunes. I resynced my phone but, the new password did not take. How do I change them in my iphone to match itunes. Thanks

    Not Stupid! I should have been more specific. I'm still new to iphones. I changed my itunes password and ID at the itunes store my computer. I'm not having problems with my email. I'm having problems downloading and updating apps (probably music as well). After it asks for the password, a message comes up saying my itunes store password is incorrect. It works on line though. Does this help? Thanks

  • Itunes is not working (help, store, sync, etc is blank) telling me I don't have connection which I have

    I have Microsoft Vista
    I have (had) ITunes version 10.4  but weeks ago is not working I NEED YOU HELP
    i CANNOT SYNC, I CNNOT GET HELP I CANNOPT SEE STORE EVERYTHING IS BLANK
    IT S TELLING I DON'T JAVE A INTERNET CONNECTION   Bullsh.. I have a full connection
    Please somebody help me
    [email protected]

    I had the same problem and best determination is that it is the version 10.4.1.  I had to go back to 10.3.  a previous poster gave the best recommendation.  Their steps that worked for me was:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

  • So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule, iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me.

    So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule. iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me. So then there were two libraries. I meshed them back together reluctantly and iTunes in a silent revolt, absolutely refused to use its own 'Keep Library Organized' criteria and may as well have thrown my music against the wall. Seriously, my 5 year old nephew has his computer files better managed. Then I bought a 3TB Time Capsule and you may ask yourself why??? Well, iTunes doubled in size- although when I ran apps that are designed to find duplicate iTunes files, it deleted the music I actually bought from iTunes. So then I watched as iTunes got it back. How you ask; I run a MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini in my house - as soon as one powered up it hit the net like a sailor on leave and re-downloaded it all without abandon. I tried to keep the libraries separate, no success there. I tried to keep them unified; iTunes response was to ask me if I wanted to join iTunes Match every time I logged on to my computer and on any computer - my iTunes match song number has been as high as 24,367 and as low as 11,112. And I can't simply refuse iTunes. No one refuses iTunes. Refusal to allow iTunes Match to run through all 24000 songs again was to revoke my rights to the songs that were once part of my library. If I took a long time to decide or was visibly impatient while iTunes did its little 3 hour scan it would arbitrarily decide that music I bought from iTunes was ineligible for iTunes Match. How could that possibly be??? I am missing music, or at least iTunes tells me so by showing me that lovely exclamation point. I have tried backing up my computer to do a full system restore and start all over. Time Capsule claims I have 979 GB of data and takes its sweet time to even back up one gig (about 18 minutes) even though I can transfer files to my Time Capsule at about 1 GB every 40 seconds. I guess though performing back-ups are somewhat like government jobs; it will get done, when it gets done. The back up requirement of 979 GB is surprising though, my Mac claims that I currently occupy just about 25% of my 2TB drive. The discrepancy, who knows, but I think the solution lies somewhere in iTunes. But maybe iPhoto. But that is for another time.

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • New computer only syncs itunes music from ipod but i have other songs not purchased from itunes that does not show up in new computer

  • How can I sync my iPhone to a new (empty) iTunes without replacing everything on my phone with the new library?

    I recently had my MacBook stolen.  I have an iPhone which had selected playlists, photos, ringtones, and apps from my old iTunes.  Now I have purchased a new MacBook Pro and would like to sync my iPhone with my laptop, which has a whole new (empty) iTunes library. However, when I choose "sync" my phone with the new iTunes, it says it will erase all items on my iPhone and replace it with my new iTunes library(which is empty).  Can someone please help me??  I really would like to keep these photos and playlists!!

    You can transfer items on your iPhone to iPhoto, iTunes, etc. the software merely transfer the data, it does not store it. Very handy software to have around.
