Single iTunes with Multiple iPhones

I have three iPhones.
iPhone 3G 16GB, iPhone 4 16GB and iPhone 4 32GB
I am having a problem syncing apps. I have different apps on each device, i sync the apps by using manual selection rather than automatic. The problem occurs when i buy new apps. Say i buy a app on one phone then sync itunes, it will sync back to itunes as you would expect. When i plug the next phone the app is automatically selected and synced, which I then have to be manually removed which can be tiresome if i have bought a few apps.

Is there anyway to prevent this happening

That's the way it works. Any new content will be automatically selected to be synced the next time you sync any device. As you've discovered, you have to manually deselect it in order to prevent it being synced the next time you do sync.
You can suggest that Apple add the ability to set up iTunes preferences to do what you want here:

  • ITunes with multiple iPhones

    Does anyone know if it's possible to have multiple iPhones set up on a single iTunes account? If so, how do you do this? I already have an iTunes account but will have a second iPhone in the household... want to be able to share/sync music library, apps, purchased music, movies, etc. Any ideas?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    My question is a  bit different. I have not yet been able to wean my wife off her dying Dell. While she has iTunes on it sync fails so she has not backed up her 3GS phone in ages. She has different music, pictures, and apps than I do, and we do not want to share these. So I want to sync her phone (and iPad as well) to my Macbook Pro, but keeping things separate.The responses and Apple material regarding syncing multiple phones to a single Mac talk about shared music and media libraries and do not seem to talk about apps.
    I'm afraid if I try to sync her devices to my iTunes it will wipe out her apps and media. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
    Thanks

  • Sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users

    Greetings,
    I have been troubleshooting a problem sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users that cropped up a few weeks ago and have not had very good luck.
    Several months ago I successfully set up my wife’s G4 Laptop (PowerPC processor) so that we could share iTunes on that computer. I had just gotten her an “My Book” external hard drive (Western Digital). The iTunes Library will go on this new unit because the internal drive was running out of room. I successfully set the privileges, moved the entire library onto a “Share” directory and everything worked fine.
    In this way, when I got a new CD I could add it to iTunes (under my login, administrator privileges) and she could access it (under her login) to listen to while working on the computer or using her iPod. This arrangement went well for quite awhile.
    About a month and a half ago, when I tried to launch iTunes from my login I received this message:
    “The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.”
    I think the permissions must have changed when there was an update because my wife is pretty careful about what she does on her computer. Updates were the only thing I could think of that had changed since I had set her computer up. I also noticed that some of the iTunes defaults were different from the last time I had used it to add a CD.
    So, I did some reading and went back through the motions of trying to set it up again. I re-formatted the My Book hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) added the files back to the external, reset permissions on the external hard drive. (Owners: System, Access: read and write - Group: wheel, Access: read and write – Others: read and write).
    When I now launch iTunes under my login I get this message:
    “The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.”
    What gives? I am the original owner and have always had top-level privileges.
    Can someone point me to any articles or clues as to how I need to set-up iTunes on a single computer to be shared by more than one user? Also, I am considering upgrading to the newer system in a few weeks, so if a solution for OS X 10.5 is available, that would work too.

    Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

  • ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

    iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
    I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

    I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

  • With multiple iPhones and iPad, how do you keep from downloading data from one device to another? ie, my calander ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
    If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • Is there a way that I can control iTunes with the iPhone without any internet connections?

    First let me say that I am ready to throw this POS in the lake.  Is there a way that I can control iTunes with my iPhone without any internet connections?  On my houseboat I have a wifi router and want to connect my phone to my computer to control my music which plays from my computer through my stereo.  I can easily do it with my laptop without having to jump through any internet APPLE BS , but I dont want to have my laptop out on the deck. I just want to use the phone as a remote control.
    Remote wont do it because it keeps saying Im not connected to the internet, even though is is connected to my computer.  Same problem with JumiAmp.

    It should have an option to manage iTunes library without network connection, like Bluetooth or connect directly to the computer without a router or wi-fi, i live outsite of the city and i dont have the ability to control my iTunes librry from the iphone

  • Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions?

    Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions? Is advisable to have separate tables than having a single big table with partitions? Can we expect same performance having single big table with partitions? What is the recommendation approach in HANA?

    Suren,
    first off a friendly reminder: SCN is a public forum and for you as an SAP employee there are multiple internal forums/communities/JAM groups available. You may want to consider this.
    Concerning your question:
    You didn't tell us what you want to do with your table or your set of tables.
    As tables are not only storage units but usually bear semantics - read: if data is stored in one table it means something else than the same data in a different table - partitioned tables cannot simply be substituted by multiple tables.
    Looked at it on a storage technology level, table partitions are practically the same as tables. Each partition has got its own delta store & can be loaded and displaced to/from memory independent from the others.
    Generally speaking there shouldn't be too many performance differences between a partitioned table and multiple tables.
    However, when dealing with partitioned tables, the additional step of determining the partition to work on is always required. If computing the result of the partitioning function takes a major share in your total runtime (which is unlikely) then partitioned tables could have a negative performance impact.
    Having said this: as with all performance related questions, to get a conclusive answer you need to measure the times required for both alternatives.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • How to compare single value with multiple values

    In my query I have something like this:
    A.SOR_CD=B.SOR_CODE where A and B are 2 different tables. This condition is in the where clause. The column in table A has single values but some values in table B have multiple comma separated values (822, 869, 811, ..).  I want to match this single
    value on the left side with each of the comma separated values. Please let me know how will I be able to do it. The number of comma separated values on the right side may vary.

    Hi MadRad123,
    According to your description, you want to compare single value with multiple values in your query. Right?
    In this scenario, the table B has comma separated values, however those comma separated values are concatenated into a string. So we can use charindex() function to return the index of the table A value. And use this index as condition in
    your where clause. See the sample below:
    CREATE TABLE #temp1(
    ID nvarchar(50),
    Name nvarchar(50))
    INSERT INTO #temp1 VALUES
    ('1','A'),
    ('2','A'),
    ('3','A'),
    ('4','A'),
    ('5','A')
    CREATE TABLE #temp2(
    ID nvarchar(50),
    Name nvarchar(50))
    INSERT INTO #temp2 VALUES
    ('1','a,A'),
    ('2','A,B'),
    ('3','c'),
    ('4','A,C'),
    ('5','d')
    select * from #temp1 a inner join #temp2 b on a.ID=b.ID
    where CHARINDEX(a.Name,b.Name)>0
    The result looks like below:
    Reference:
    CHARINDEX (Transact-SQL)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou
