Syncing Itunes from 2 computers to your Iphone4s

I had music on 2 computers that I purchased through Itunes. When I tried to transfer one set of songs to the other computer it synced (songs showed up on that computer's itunes), but now won't let me put those songs on my Iphone4s? How do I get those songs to sync with my phone.

The iPhone is only designed to be synced with one computer.
As soon as it is synced to another, everything from the first is erased.
It is designed to work that way.

  • After syncing my itunes from my computer to my iphone4, the download icon at the top of my iphone will not stop.

    After syncing my itunes from my computer to my iphone4, the download icon at the top of my phone will not stop. It appears at all times as though I am in the middle of a download, but it is not connected to anything. 

    This is from a 4S with iOS 7 running iTunes Match:
    You won't see Edit if it's a Genius playlist (like the one in the image above).

  • I synced iTunes from my computer to a new iPad. All of my purchases appear and are listed as downloaded, but none of the will play. Any ideas?

    I synced iTunes from my computer to a new iPad. My purchased music appears as normal in the list and is designated as downloaded, but none of it will play.  Any ideas of what I can do?

    try resetting the device by holding down the home and sleep key, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
    Also, try finding a free app, any free app, download it on your ipad then see if that gets your others to work.You can delete the free app if it works (or if it doesn't for that matter)

    how do i sync itunes from laptop to ipad

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on that left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Music - if you select that tab you should then be able to select which of you iTunes music library to sync to the iPad's Music app

  • Sync iTunes from iMac to iBook

    how do I sync iTunes from iMac to iBook? I tryed through Bluetooth, no luck. Any ideas?

    To keep both libraries perfectly synced, you may need to find a script or separate application to do it.
    If you're just interested in keeping the music the same (but not necessarily play counts, ratings, etc) you can just copy the music itself from one computer to the other (via network).
    Perhaps someone with a bit more imagination/experience can provide a working solution? I've done something similar by using an external/network drive and a sym linked iTunes library, but the problem with that is your laptop won't be able to access the music unless it's on your home network.

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • Can you update itunes from what is on your ipod touch if they wont sync up?

    I have been trying for months to get my ipod and my itunes on the same page.  I have things on my pod that my itunes account say cant be found and things on my itunes Ive downloaded that wont transfer to my pod.  The answers I have gotten are to update itunes using an old back up which will mean Ill lose a good bit of what I have on itunes.  Is there not a way to update itunes from the ipod iteself?  Or am I being stupid here?

  • Sync iTunes from iMac, rest from MacBook Air

    Hi
    My wife has just purchased a new MacBook air. We home share most of our iTunes library which she used to copy over onto her old MacBook from my iMac. She used to sync everything from that old MacBook - music, calendar, contacts, addresses etc etc - onto her iPhone 4S
    She has just purchased a new MacBook Air.  The SSD drive make storage a little limited so rather than add her music to that HD I thought it would make sense for her to sync music via my iMac and everything else from her MB Air. This would free up a ton of space on her new MB Air drive.
    Is that possible. Anything I should be concerned about or do I just plug it in.
    Her music collection is effectively just a smaller shadow of mine. Her entire library is a percentage of mine with no extras so there is no risk of losing any music from her iPhone.
    Her iPhone is iOS 6.  I am hoping that iCloud will take care of all syncing other than music.

    Yes.  The iPhone is designed to only sync with a single computer and iTunes library.  If she attempts to sync with yours, iTunes will give you a warning that it has been synced with another computer and that syncing with your's will erase all iTunes media from her phone and replace it with the media in your library, including apps, music, movies, Podcasts, Books, etc., and iCloud doesn't sync iTunes media.  iCloud syncs calendars, contacts, reminders, bookmarks, notes, etc.
    If you want to host her music on your computer and allow her to access it without syncing to your computer you would have to subscribe to iTunes Match, which would then allow her to access the entire music library (up to 25,000 songs) via iCloud.

  • Syncing photos from 2 computers

    From a 24" iMac i have synced photos in a folder to ATV. Now i would like to sync photos from Aperture to ATV from a second computer, a MacBook Pro. However, i cannot even find how to sync any photos from the second computer. Both OSX and iTunes are the latest versions. All help is much appreciated.
    iMac 24" and MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi,
    you can only sync content from one computer, and sream from five - but as you cannot stream photos to an ATV I am afraid you cannot sync the photos from your second computer - see Apple's article on sync v streaming - bottom of the page -
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305098
    You could always add the photos to your synced computer instead.

  • Condensing iTunes from 3 computers to an external hard drive?

    I have 3 computers (one G4, one PC, and a MBAir) which have iTunes on them (one account but different items on each.)  I want to transfer all my iTunes files to one external hard drive which will then be used exclusively with a Mac. Thanks in advance!

    Grab all your iTunes content from each of the 3 computers (Home/Music/iTunes) and copy it to your hard drive. Then plug in the hard drive to your Mac and import all your content into iTunes.

  • HOW DO YOU STOP ITUNES FROM WRITING COMMENTS IN YOUR ID TAGS!! ARGH!

    I use a program to manage my id tags. I used to never use the tags, but now I have it so that the program reads in all files form a directory and edits the ID tags to only put artist - title. that's all the information i ever store. BUT, whenever you put songs into itunes and sync, itunes decides to write random, what looks like binary?, information into the comments section of your id tags. Is there a way to stop itunes from doing this?

    Are you using mp3gain? Or the Sound Check function in
    iTunes. Sometimes, mp3gain will write strings of
    number to the comments field. I think it can happen
    with Soundcheck as well. Personally, I've never had
    iTunes write anything to the comments field but I
    don't use either of the above.
    I use MP3Gain all the time - it doesn't do this. This kinda sounds like a mismatch between what tag version are written in both programs. Make sure they both match, and I bet your problem goes away.
    I use 4 different progams to edit tag info, depending on what I want to do, and I don't ever see this kind of thing. I never use all 4 on the same file, I usually use one that does batch tagging and then I use TagScanner to fine-tune. I run MP3Gain on everything.

  • How do you transfer music from different computers to your ipod?

    I have two computers that are configured to my ipod. Because one is usually in the shop being fixed I have a problem when I purchase music on the secondary computer and want to transfer it to the main computer. It will transfer to my main computer through a cd but it requires that locate on the harddrive. It will play on the computer once I locate it but it won't tranfer to the ipod when syncing. Any suggestions?

    If the music you want to move from computer A to computer B is on your iPod the job is easy. There are free and shareware programs that transfer music from the iPod to your computer. Check out your favorite download site.

  • Is it possible to sync to/from two computers but only sync from a third (no upload to third/work computer, but download from it)?

    Is this possible:
    Two directional sync (to/from) of history, bookmarks, etc on two computers and only unidirectional sync (from only, not to) on a third? I have sync set up on my work computer and I like knowing my work history when at home or on my laptop, but I don't want all of my home history being sent to the work computer. Is there a way to have a two directional sync between 2 computers but only send history from, but not to, a third computer?
    As it stands now, if someone at work would get on my history it would look like I have been looking up flights and buying things on the internet at work, but I only do that at home.
    Thanks.

  • Sync contacts from outlook on one computer and sync itunes from another?

    Can you sync your contacts say from your work computer but only sync the iTunes from you home computer? If so, do you have to use Itunes for both?
    Thanks

    Can't. Everytime I launch the iCloud Control Panel I get an error message saying "Repair the iCloud Control Panel to use iCloud with Outlook".  I've tried repairing it and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and I still get the same error message.  Is this a known bug?  I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit.  Is there a known fix?
