Sync a device using itunes

In the past I installed itunes on an old PC. I used to manage my media files in the itunes library within the PC. Then I connect the iphone to the USB port of the PC and hit "sync" my device. All the updated media files in my PC are updated for my iphone. That's great.
Now my old PC is not with me anymore. I have now a new PC. Again I download iTunes for the new PC (it requires iTunes64Setup instead of iTunesSetup.exe for my old PC).
At this time the new pc does not have all the old music/video in the media library. This is simply because I haven't finished importing all the files from backup.
What if now I connect the iphone to my new PC and hit "sync" device? I dare not to do that before asking.
Will all the media (music) files in the iphone be wiped out if i do that? In other word my concern is: whether this "sync" function means making the contents of my iphone to re-semble that of the PC or vice versa?
Has someone got the experience and can let me know?

You should be able to log into your account on a computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (deauthorising all is done via your account, not the Store drop-down menu).

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

Hello, flippytippi.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Can we have genius mixes on our IOS5 device using iTunes match?

Can we have genius mixes on our IOS5 device using iTunes match?

Actually I was wrong ... I mistaked being able to say "play rock music" for genius.
You can't say "play similar songs" it will say genius is not available.
I don't understand why they would have disabled genius all together for itunes match?

Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1? The copy and paste AND drag and drop methods don't seem to work any more. Why does Apple make itunes so hard to use?

Thanks, but no dice. When I check Maunal manage, I get the dialog about erasing the phone and syncing to this computer. The only thing I can think of is to make sure my home machine is also set to manual sync. Although, I was able to manual sync just fine until I upgraded itunes to 11.0.1

You may need to try this More than Once...
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
Where did you get the iPhone?

Multiple devices using iTunes on multiple Windows accounts interchangeably

I have searched this topic online extensively and have not been able to find a case similar to mine explained. So I am hoping that I can get some assistance here.
I have a Windows XP PC with 2 user accounts - one for me and one for my wife. I have 4 devices that sync to the 2 accounts today as follows:
- My iTunes account/library
1. iPhone - synching Outlook contacts, ringtones, videos
- Wife's iTunes account/library
2. My iPod - synching music
3. Wifes' iPod - synching music
4. Baby's iPod - synching music
There is no music in my iTunes library as all our music is on her library. What I want to do is sync some songs to my iPhone by connecting it to her iTunes library. I want to continue to sync my other data on my iTunes account. Is there any way that I can do this without iTunes prompting to delete all data off my iPhone when I attempt to sync music from her iTunes library to my iPhone?
Thanks.

No. Use a flash drive to copy what you want from your wife's library and add it to your own library, and then sync your iPhone as normal.

Microsolft 2003 calendar not syncing with iphone (using itunes)

Basics: I have Win XP Pro, I use Microsoft 2003, I have an iphone 3G, and I sync my contacts, calendar, and notes using itunes 9.0.3. I don't use Outlook mail and don't sync using MS Exchange -- I just connect my iphone to the computer using a usb and sync with itunes.
Up until a week or two ago, I had no problems syncing. Now, while contacts and notes syncs fine, calendar does not sync at all (in either direction), even though itunes says it's "syncing calendar". I know this is not new (I see many posts about this), and I have scoured the discussion pages for advice already and tried everything I could. I looked at the following apple troubleshooting page and tried everything there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1692. Specifically, this is what I have already done and nothing has worked:
* I uninstalled the newest version of itunes (as well as quick time, bonjour, and the other software components that apple recommended I uninstall) and reinstalled 9.0.3
* I uninstalled my Outlook 2003 and reinstalled
* From itunes preferences, under devices, I "reset sync history" (and I have continued to do this before syncing after I try something new)
* From itunes help, I ran "diagnostics" for "iphone sync tests" and no problems were noted. I have done this several times.
* From within Outlook help, I ran "detect and repair" and no problems were noted
* From within Outlook tools and advanced options, I clicked the "COM add-ins" button and removed 3rd party software
HOWEVER...the apple troubleshooting page referenced above suggested syncing content in a new user window, and that DID work! Moreover, when I copied my original Outlook.pst file to the new user account, the trouble starts again and no calendar syncing. And to continue the test, when I remove the original Outlook.pst and put back the new Outlook.pst file in the new user window, it works again. And for the final test, when I copy the new user Outlook.pst file to my main/real user account, the sync works perfectly. All this indicates the original Outlook.pst file is corrupted.
HOWEVER, Apple offers NO advice as to what to do next. The following is quoted from their troubleshooting page:
"Once you are logged into the new user account, create a few test contacts and/or calendar events in your compatible application of choice and attempt to sync that data to your iPhone or iPod touch. Does this newly created data sync properly? If so, you likely have an issue with your content in the original user which you will need to isolate."
Sooooo...what to do now? How do I "isolate" the problem any further?
Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
1) I made a backup
2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
And voila, it worked.

Syncing bewteen iPhones using iTunes on Windows

Hi, I temporarily have two iPhones. I restored the new one using Windows iTunes. That worked well. Then I used the old phone a while, changing mostly photos, apointments, reminders, and notes. Now I synced first the old phone, then the new phone using iTunes on a Windows XP laptop.
The new reminders etc do not appear on the new iPhone.
Most answers I find use iCloud, but I do not have an iCloud account.
What can I do?

It took me a few tries to figure it out. iTunes keeps multiple backups from each device. I had to choose the correct one, and then it worked. Thanks!

How do i create a keyboard shortcut to sync my device on itunes on mac?

Hi,
i need help!
ive been wanting to sync my iDevice on itunes using only a keyboard shortcut, but i cant seem to be able to create it! please help me!

Jbrenner,
Not sure if you have found a suitable workflow. The best option in my view would be the COMMAND EDITOR option.
1. Launch COMMAND --> CUSTOMIZE from Apeture Menue.
2. If you are doing the custom command for the first time you'll have to duplicate the Custom Command menu, this can be done by selecting DUPLICATE on the menue which would by default display DEFAULT.
3. When you duplicate, you ll be asked to save the duplicated Custom Editor.
4. The duplicated custom editor basically will have all the DEFAULT short cut keys and you are now ready to customise it.
5. To customise it, select the Menu action from COMMAND GROUP and simply press the desired short cut for the action on you physical key board.
6. If the SHORT CUT is already used by Apeture, it will prompt whether or not you want to override the DEFAULT, hit yes.
7. As a last step dont forget to hit SAVE on KEY DETAILS tab.

HT204406 My playlists aren't showing up on my devices using iTunes Match. Is there a way to fix this?

My playlists aren't syncing when using iTunes Match

Wicked annoying but I actually uninstalled iTunes on my Mac using an AppZapper. You can also get AppCleaner which is free. After I just went to apple.com/itunes and redownloaded iTunes. My music and playlists were still there, then I turned on iTunes Match and turned it on my iPhone once the upload finished. Try it!
NOTHING else worked! This was the only way I could jumpstart iTunes Match to actually give me my playlists. PLEASE backup your Library first. Nothing bad should happen, but don't take any chances. Good luck!
