Reverse Sync (iPhone to my iTunes library)

I've checked "manually manage music and video" (because is the only way to listen songs stored in my phone with my 2 PC's).
If in my office's computer I add some music ... what is the best way to put this new music in my official library store in my home PC?

I'm having a similar problem, and I can't believe that there's no easy mechanism to do this. I had purchased several things from iTunes, and sync'd them on my iPhone, and before I did the next backup I had a hard drive failure. So, after re-formatting and reconstructing most of my system, my iTunes library is EMPTY, and next time I sync my phone it'll all be erased.
I tried "File -> Transfer PUrchases", but I got the message saying that I couldn't transfer files because the computer wasn't authorized, so I went to authorize the computer, and got a message saying that it was already authorized ("one of my 5" - thanks, only need one), so I tried again, only to get the message that I couldn't transfer because the computer wasn't authorized - and again and again. So, apparently to rebuild by library, I have to re-purchase everything? This is crap.

How to sync Iphone with new itunes library?

I used to sync my iphone with itunes on my macbook.
My macbbok was lost, and i got a new macbook.
Now when i try to sync with the new itunes libaray, it prpompts that it will delete my exisiting data on my phone, This would mean losing all my contacts, and text messages etc.
Is there a way i can sync to a new itunes library without losing my data?
thanks

Sorry to hear about your macbook.
Others have reported that if you have at least on contact and calendar entry on your new computer when you sync, then it will not erase you iphone, it will simply merge the two. While that makes perfect sense, I have not tried it myself.
As for the texts, I don;t think you can get those back.
Music can only be synced to one library at a time, so the music will be gone. However, in Itunes you can "transfer purchases," at least putting your itunes purchased music on your computer.
It is always a good idea to have a backup. I use an external hard drive. Then you will have a complete backup if anything happens to your computer.
Good luck. I hope it works out.

I am unable to copy or Sync songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone

Connect your phone to itunes as you have been doing.
In the sidebar, select you phone and then on the main part of the iTunes window, select Music.
Check the Sync Music box and then you can either sync all music, or select the tracks/albums/artists/genres as you wish.
Once selected, at the bottom right on the maon iTunes window, select Sync.
Music will now be copied to you phone.

An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time

I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I figured it would be pretty simple to move my iPhone to sync with iTunes on the Mac from iTunes on my pc, afterall it is the same program and both are designed for the iPhone.
I have been successful in getting the Contacts and Calendar to sync, but the Music, Applications, Video and a few other things give me this message when I check the sync box:
"The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase the iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
Obviously, I don't want to erase everything. Actually, I don't care about Music, Videos, Podcasts or Ringtones as I don't have any, but I do care about Photos and Applications. Actually Photos I can reload too, but I don't want to loose the apps I have purchased with the iTunes App Store.
I even tried going back to the PC and unchecking the Sync boxes on it, hoping this might disassociate it from the phone, but now even on that PC I get the same message.
How do I disconnect phone from the old iTunes and be able to sync it to the new iTunes? This should be simple right?

I made an appointment with a Mac Genius and I will say that while it was better than getting to talk to India on a poor quality phone call it was just about as helpful. Sure she was cute and friendly, but I left without my issue resolved and was surprised that I didn't even get a followup from anyone asking about my experience (hence my venting here)
Anyway, I found a solution for my issue here: http://tinyfish.net/2008/07/18/how-to-sync-iphone-with-multiple-computers/
This is a real solution to the issue, and has the benefit that I can do this to as many machines as I need and sync at any of them instead of just one. Hopefully, Apple doesn't delete my response since it truly is the answer to the problem and others might be looking for the same solution.

Multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library

I have a question about multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library.
Currently I have 3 PC's, 2 iPods and 2 iPhones.
My PC had the iTunes library on it and everyone was just listening to mine via the iTunes sharing.
Well I bought a Buffalo LinkStation and told itunes to move my library to M:\My Music\..... and then did a Consolidate Library which in turn moved all the music from my C: drive to the M: drive.
My wife's computer has it's own Library with no music (only app store apps, and ringtones).
Now my question is what happens if I tell my wifes computer that M:\My Music\....... is her new location of the library and restart itunes. I am pretty sure this will work fine. But what happens if she syncs her iPhone now? Will all my apps now be on her phone and she will lose hers? She does have her own itunes store account with her own apps. Is there a way to have it so only her apps are on her phone and my apps are on my phone? Can she choose different playlists to be synced than what I have?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brad

Since the three of you are using separate iTunes accounts, then you each need to run your own itunes, which should be logged into the itunes store using each individual account. For that, on a laptop, you each need to have your own computer accounts.

How can I move the photos I've made using my iPhone to my iTunes library and leave no copy on my iPhone?

I am using an iPhone 3GS and iSO 6.1.3. My iPhone states the iSO software is "up to date" and will check for another version on Dec. 13, 2013.
I have made photos using my iPhone 3GS and they are currently on my iPhone. I want to move them to my iTunes library, leaving no copy behind on my iPhone. I want these photos completely removed from my iPhone after they are copied to my iTunes library.
I've tried to adjust the Photo settings and sync my iPhone many, many times, but the photos remain on my iPhone and they are NOT in my iTunes library.
How can I move these photos from my iPhone to my iTunes library?
Thank you so much for your help or any suggestion I can try to achieve my goal! I sincerely appreicate your time and attention to matters of my concern.

I just used Windows Explorer (in Windows 7) opened my iPhone, copied the DCIM file and now I will attempt to import my photos into iTunes. I believe I answered my own question - I just thought there would be a way to do this via iTunes (I should have known better).

Syncing to a new itunes library after reloading it

My computer crashed recently and I had to reload everything including itunes, now my iphone wants to erase its content to sync with the new itunes library (which is empty), is there any way to download the current content of my iphone to the new itunes??

Did you lose all important content on your computer's hard drive, or just your iTunes library?
Your iTunes library should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data such as documents, photos, contacts, etc. stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only. This is important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
Since this won't be the last time you go through this with Windows, follow the instructions included with this link for including your iTunes library with your computer's backup in the future. Restoring your iTunes library from such a backup restores it completely - all content including 3rd party apps, playlists, playcount, etc.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
The iPhone is not designed or intended to be a backup storage device.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

Sync apps back to iTunes library after iTunes reinstall

Hello there,
I recently had to format my PC due to a virus. Now after reinstalling iTunes, I cant resync my many purchased apps back to my PC. The only option it is giving me is to erase the iphone and start again. How can I get my apps back onto my PC as I'm worried that when software version 3.0 comes out, I will loose all my apps after updating?

Did you update your computer's backup or create a backup before reformatting your computer's hard drive which should include your iTunes library?
If not, did you lose all of your computer's data due to this Windows virus? If you lost all data due to this virus, I don't understand why anyone chooses to put up with such a swiss cheese for security operating system that is Windows.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. After doing so, with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If all 3rd party apps do not transfer from your iPhone to your iTunes library, you can re-download the 3rd party apps with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for any 3rd party paid apps as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the apps that was used to purchase the apps originally.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone that was transferred from a different computer will be erased first. The same applies to photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. Your iPhone detects your computer as a new or different computer since your computer's hard drive was reformatted.

Ios 7 synced songs from my itunes library that I didnt want on my phone and I don't know how to delete them. On my phone, next to each of those songs, theres a cloud with an arrow going through it. How do I delete those songs?

ios 7 synced songs from my itunes library that I didnt want on my phone and I don't know how to delete them. On my phone, next to each of those songs, theres a cloud with an arrow going through it. How do I delete those songs? I can't delete the songs from my computer because they aren't in a specific playlist, they just got randomly added to my songs on my phone.

I just found out that I am having the same problem!! It is driving me nuts. Now I know why I am running out of space on my iPhone. It's ghosting the others songs, until you see them when you go to sync. Hopefully, someone has an answer. I have gone through every HELP subject and discussion board I could find on the situation.
