Sync from different library other than mine.

Hello. I have an iPhone 4S and is it possible to sync music onto my phone from a different library other than mine without the possibility of wiping out my own library? I noticed this when I hooked my iPhone up to my boyfriend's computer, and when I tired to drag a song onto my device, it would not allow it. When I clicked the box "manually manage music" then it gives me the option to replace his library with mine. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

No, by design the iPhone is meant to sync with a single iTunes library.  If you attempt to sync with another one it will wipe the media off your phone and replace it with the other library.  Don't attempt this or you will have major problems trying to recover.

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

  • Buying from different Itunes other than home country

    I want to buy an album but it isn't available in the Japanese Itunes store so I went to the Canada store. I tried to buy the album but it just refered me back to Japanese store to buy the album. Will it always refer you back to your country store if you try to buy in a different store? If so how can I buy music that isn't available in the Japanese store?

    Linda, you have to realize that computers can be
    tracked by their IP addresses, so even though you set
    up the account, your sister's IP address would
    indicate that she is not located in the US. I would
    also like to know where you read on the forums that
    this could be done because I have been posting
    regularly in the forums for over a year & have never
    seen any other information given out other than what
    I have already told you.
    So I understand what you're saying here: I can't purchase any music from a different country b/c I am based here, even if I have an billing address over there. Because I have to have a card with a billing address over there. So, the only way I can get music from other countries is to request them and (hopefully) they'll mirror those songs over here. Correct?

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

  • Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer? I usually sync to my tower at home, but only have access to my laptop now. My laptop is authorized to the same iTunes account as the tower. If I do a software update for the iPhone on the laptop's copy of iTunes, will it wipe away my music that isn't from the iTunes store, etc?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Yes, but all your data will be replaced by whatever is on this other computer. So if you don't want that to happen wait and install on the computer with which the device is normally synced.

  • HT1386 Will apps and/or music be erased from iPod if synced to a computer other than orginally used?

    Will apps and or/music be erased from iPod if synced to a computer other than original one used?

    Yes. To avoid that:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a thrid-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    The computer will now be your syncing computer in the future. Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

    How to copy images from iphone folders other than camera roll?
    Images in these folders are synced to iPhone from different laptop and I need to download them in my laptop. I am able to download and access only those pics which are present in Camera Roll folder.Remaining pics are in different folder and also appearing in Photo Library from all folders.
    Same problem is with iPod touch as well.

    - Via a computer program like PhoneView or Touch Copy
    - By using an app like Photo Transfer

  • HT1386 Can I download an mp3 to my iPhone from a PC other than my home pc?

    Can I download an mp3 to my iPhone from a PC other than my home pc?

    No. You can only sync or manually manage music and other media with one iTunes library at a time. If you attempt to add music from another library, all media on your phone will have to be erased first.

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Trying to sync iPad saying already synced to different library on computer

    trying to sync ipad
    saying it already synced to different library on my computer
    how ??
    what do i do??? to change libraries

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I am an Hardcore fan of Apple productios for their leadership in innovation.
    I was using iTouch previously which doesnt use to behave in this way.
    Having a single all the time with the user is very difficult and not parcticale. I am very much suprised if it was really designed in that way.
    I used several smartphones and none of the smartphone has this kind of problems.
    I am not sure if I had put the question correctly so for your reference, I am inserting an image. Please refer to it.

  • MacPro wont boot from any disk other than the main HD

    Hi all,
    I want to startup my MacPro from a different drive other than the main (original) Macintosh HD, so I can do maintenance and for emergencies.
    However, I cannot startup from a DVD. Not DiskWarrior, or even the retail Snow Leopard disk.
    I attempted to install the OS on another internal drive, but the intallation seemed to fail (the disk I tried to install onto was Mac OS Extended, Case-sensitive, Journaled, but there were no complaints from the installer.)
    So even though my computer runs OK, and I can continue doing work etc, I am unable to do the maintenance that I believe it needs.
    I have tried to:
    • Run the updated DiskWarrior DVD
    • Run the SL instal DVD
    • Taken all the extra wires/drives out of the back of the computer
    • Attempted to install the OS onto a second internal drive
    I have not:
    • Zapped the PRAM yet.
    • Run the computer in target disk mode and worked on it from my MacBook
    • Run the MacBook in target mode to use its DVD drive.
    This problem has come up before on this machine. I can't remember what the problem was, other than I used to run the MacPro on its side. No longer. Not for the last few months.
    Anybody come across this before? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    You could use CCC to do a trimmed down clone and leave out most of the sub folders. Do a 2nd clone to have a full working copy.
    Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.2
    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    My guess is one of your drives needs to be reinitialized. Only during format will the hidden partition blocks be tested, and of course a healthy set of partitions created, things that cannot be repaired normally - though Lion Recovery partition does have abilty to check the health of partition tables. And about the only reason I'd even buy Lion!
    Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility
    Manage all partitions with Disk Utility in OS X

  • I have always synced my calendars on my ipad 2 ios 7 to those on my desktop mini running   OS 10.6.8. Now my calendars do not sync from the ipad to the mini. I need to have them coordinated

    I have always synced my calendars on my ipad 2 ios 7 to those on my desktop mini running   OS 10.6.8. Now my calendars do not sync from the ipad to the mini. I need to have them coordinated

    Because I have been a Mac user since 1989, I have many, many docs that are created in programs not campatible with 10. 7, so I still use a manual sync with snow leopard and my ipad, not the cloud as it is not available on snow leopard. I am signed on in both places with my one ID and password

  • When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.

  • How do you receive iMessages from a device other than the iPhone they originally are being sent to?

    I'm trying to receive iMessages from a phone other than my own. How do I receive them, I have both Apple IDs and both passwords but do not have current access to the phone I'm trying to get the iMessages from.

    Do you have the other phone's Apple ID active in your iPhone iMessage setting? If not, then you would not get them. And, the person sending the iMessage would have to be sending to the Apple ID and not the phone number.
