Synchronizing iPhone/iPad with central iTunes

Hi,
I have an all Apple network which I just extended with a MacMini to be used as the centra repository for iTunes content. Other equipment is a MacBook Pro and iPhones/iPads. I have used the shared library (home sharing) function to get acces on the MacBook Pro to the central iTunes (residing on MacMini).
What I would like to do next is to synchronize the iPhone/iPad connected to the MacBook Pro (so not the MacMini) and would like to physically move music (so not Home Sharing) in order to listen to music outside my home (Apple) Wifi-network using iPhone/iPad. I am not sure how to to this, could you please share ideas / guidance on how to sync music to the iPhone?
Thx!

I try to update the software of an Iphone or Ipad with the Itunes of the MacBook Pro. It downloads the software but at the end always the comment shows up that the download failed and i should try again. Any ideas, I already updated the iTunes software.

Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

I have just synced my ipad with my itunes and have lost my original music library on my computer. How do I get it back?

I have just synced my ipad with my itunes on windows and have now lost the original music library on the computer leaving me with just the downloaded songs from my ipad. I don't have the original library on icloud for some reason and was wondering if there was any way to get the original library back on my itunes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Mario.
I am currently downloading my CD on my computer and saving them to my phone - AGAIN.
Your help I am sure was great but I am not good at this. The lingo confuses me. I need to find a pal, with an iPhone who knows what they are doing. Someone like you to talk me through this but you don't know my computer.....
Anyway, thanks for your help. You were the only one to reply and that meant a lot.

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 ?

Create a new user account on the computer that he can log in to.

Using one iPad with multiple iTunes accounts

I am trying to understand the iTunes implementation on iPad..After synching my MBP on an iPad, all of my settings music, photos,mail are transferred to the iPad...my wife now wants to use the iPad as we are traveling...can my iPad's iTunes be signed off and her iTunes account be logged on thus she can access all her data stored on her iTunes account? I have spent a lot of time investigating this on the forum and I do not understand what can and not can be done...If this can not be done, then if any iBooks we want read (different books for me/wife) then needs to be purchased and read on the one iPad needs to be bought on only MY account which is synched to my MBP... ? It seems that you need one iPad for each user...(we each have our own MBP)?

The iPad is not set up to allow different users with different data.
All users have the same data.
iTunes account = iTunes store account to make purchases
iTunes library = everything in iTunes when she logs in with her computer login

If you mean she want to sync the ipad with her iTunes library, yes.
She will need to login to her computer account, connect the iPad, launch iTunes then sync it.
This will erase all your data on the iPad and sync all her data.
If you mean can she access iTunes store account, launch iTunes on the iPad, scroll to the bottom and tap Sign out iTunes then sign back in with her iTunes account.
This will not add anything of hers to the iPad but she can make purchases with her iTunes account.

Hi ...
If you mean the balance from iTunes Gift cards or certificates, no.
You need to have a credit or debit card on file with Apple.

My husband got a new ipad and set up his apple id without looking into the implications of that. Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id. Any way to do this?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

PLUG your iPhone to PC and go here on your PC...Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers. under unspecified you will see apple iPhone......right click on it and remove device. unplug your iPhone and replug it to your pc and iTunes should open and will see your phone.

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.
