Sync problem "Iphone synced with other Itunes library"

Hi folks, I’m new to the forum and would appreciate some help.
I recently re-formatted my hard drive on my PC and re-installed Itunes. I have only ever used my iphone on this PC and this Itunes account. Now when I connect my Iphone 4 to my PC it can be seen in the devices section at the left hand side and there I can view all its contents as normal. However if I try to change the settings in the summary section to “manually manage music and videos” and press APPLY it come up saying “the iphone is synced with another itunes library” and says if I continue then my iphone content will be erased. I can’t even drop and drag music into my device as I used to do before formatting.
I really don’t want to delete my phones content as I’ve got it just the way I like it and would be a real hassle to do this. I don’t understand why itunes is saying that my phone is synced with another itunes library.
I also have the most recent update on my phone and was wondering if there's any way to sort this out?
Thanks in advance
Craig.

All iTunes content presently on your phone will be erased. If you have the same content in your iTunes library, just sync it back. If you have app data you want to preserve, backup your phone first, then restore from that backup, followed by syncing your content back to your phone. You can manually create a current backup by right-clicking your phone in the left device pane & selecting "Backup". Follow this by right-clicking again & selecting "Restore from Backup". Select the backup you just made. If prompted to create another backup, decline. Disable auto-sync before you do any of the above: iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under the edit menu if using windows). Make sure you have one contact & one calendar entry in whatever supported applications you use on your computer: DO NOT SYNC to empty applications. Doing so will erase data from your phone.

  • How do I sync an iphone 5 with my itunes library on my pc?

    I have just purchased an iphone 5.
    I have an account with itunes, my password is correct.
    The phone is not syncing.
    The pc says it is but there is nothing in my music library on the phone.
    My ipod syncs correctly and I figure now, after trying to find a solution that I will abandon trying to use the phone for listening to music and stick with the ipod.
    I suppose thats why apple still makes ipods...

    Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download then download and install the current version of iTunes.

    Hi, I have an iphone 4 with my itunes library on a Windows XP computer. My spouse (who has now passed away) had an itouch with an itunes library on an IMac. here is the problem, I bought an new iphone 6 and wanted to sync with my windows xp library and of course my itunes version is out of date and I need to update it...well I try and update the version and it will not update the Itunes library and when I researched it I would have to upgrade from XP to Windows 7...r they kidding me...first of all my computer is old and a pain in the *** but I have my itunes library on it.  Sp to get my phone working I sync'd it on the IMac and my spouses Itunes library has been sync'd to my iphone and I don't know how to get my library on it...After thinking about it I want to combine the libraries after all there are some purchases on each one.
    I have done some research and you have to buy a 3rd party piece of software...this is not the way I want to go...I do not think i should have to buy one and also when I do a goole search there are a ton of them out there and I am sorry i do not trust the comments as some of them do identify that they will get a kick back.
    Can someone help, i should be able to export my itunes library from my iphone 4 to the itunes library by appending/importing it...it is not rocked science on what I want to do and I cannot find out any process...
    Can someone help ?

  • I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
    If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

  • Syncing 2 iPhones on the same iTunes Library

    Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library? So games etc get synced to both phones? BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?

    Itunes recognizes each device, so you can set each to sync whatever you like.

  • Ipad already sync'd with other iTunes Library

    We recently upgraded our PC to Windows 7 and now when I go to sync my iPad I get an error message that my Ipad is sync'd with another iTunes Library. I have read a few disucssions on this but am still not clear on what to do. Before we upgraded I did not do a recent backup because the PC was not working well. I just recently did a back up but am not sure what to do next. If I sync will I lose my photos music and everything else? I have quite a bit of information on my iPad that I do not want to lose. I also can't upgrade to OS 5. Guidance is much appreciated on how to be able to Sync my iPad again.

    Have you ever synced with this computer before? If you did, have you synced with another computer since then?

    Thank you in anticipation.

    Hello, Jose. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your MacBook Pro has an Intel processor and at least 1gb or RAM, you can upgrade your machine to the minimum operating system requirements for use with iTunes 11.

  • New computer-keep getting iphone synched with another itunes library

    So here's the situation.
    I got a new computer the other day and put Itunes on it. I hooked my iphone up to it and authorized my new computer. Seemed like everything was fine, that was until I went into devices and clicked on music. I then went to synch music and then hit apply and get the whole "the device is synched with another itunes/library, do you want to erase the iphone and synch with this itunes library.
    I still have my old computer (Which is in pieces on the floor) and realized today that I didn't deauthorize it. Am I in trouble here?

    As far as your iPhone is concerned, it is a new iTunes Library. Let it go thru it's steps (including making a backup and restoring from the backup) and all should be fine.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers, so you are fine if you're under this limit. When you do reach it, you can deauthorise all computers (even without having access to them), then authorize the one you are using. So you are not in trouble here, either.

  • Sync problem iphone 4 with ios 4.3.4 and itunes 10.4 on snow leopard

    After updating my iphone 4 to ios 4.3.4 and itunes to 10.4 syncing doesn't work any longer.
    While syncing pictures I get a unknown error (-50) message and syncing stops.

    Okay, I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard in which I just updated iTunes. My iTunes library is on an external hard drive. I updated my iPhone to 4.3.4 and the syncing is not working. I get an error that it cannot write to the iPhone then get an error regarding some of the photos. Here is what I have done -
    I restored my iPhone
    I removed all photos from the iPhone and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
    I unplugged the external from my mini and then it did a sync just find - course I wasn't syncing anything to it!
    I plugged back in the external via Firewire which is what it was before and I get the errors.
    Prior to the latest iTunes update everything was fine but of course I hadn't updated the iPhone yet - so I don't know which update is now causing the problem although I'm thinking it's the iTunes update..
    Any thoughts? Beyond frustrated at this point.

  • HT4236 Problems syncing my iphone 3g with my iTunes on my PC (Mixing pictures all up)

    I'm having a problem all the sudden with synching my iPhone 3G.  It synched this time and some of my photos are all mixed in with other photos.  I have no idea why because on my computer the photos are not mixed in like that.  For instance:  A Folder called "Vacation to Florida" and one called "Pictures of my House" were synched to the iphone.  When I opened them up on the iPhone, there are some pics from one album mixed in with the other. This has never happened before and has me baffled.  I tried deleting my iTunes photo cache and starting over TWICE now.  I restarted my computer and my phone.  Its still doing it.  I re-synched and the photos are all mixed in with each other.  Weird!! Help!?

    Sorry I knew it was likely you would already know that but I thought it was a good idea to mention the most obvious thing first.
    I've had a look through the various discussions and found someone else that was having the same problem. Apparently they deleted the pics from their computer backing them up onto a USB or disc. They then deleted all of the photos on the phone. After this they restored the photos on the PC they also removed any video files that where in those folders. The final step was getting rid of the iPhone photo cache. They then resynced their iPhone and it was fine.
    It seems long winded to me but I just thought I would let you know. It's worth a try :)
