Syncing itunes with 2 different computers

I wanted to sync my itunes to my computer at school and put all of my ipod music on to it. Instead it deleted everything on my ipod. How do I take what is on my ipod and get it into itunes on a new computer???

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you have to change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's.

    Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's. My Phone will show up in iTunes, my wife's wont. After plugging my wife's phone into my Win 8.1 pc and check Sync over wifi, I hit the eject button, could this be the reason? Or might it be the different Apple-ID's? If the answer is the first, is there any way tohave iTunes forgetmy wife's phone so I can addit from scratch?

    Ello,
    I know this, but thats in the past now sadly. The question is: Why wont my wife's iPhone show up in iTunes via wifi?
    Is it because I pushed the eject button? And if so, is there any way I can make iTunes forget my wife's iPhone and *** it from scratch again?
    Or is it because the phones uses different Apple-ID's?

  • How do I sync on 2 different computers without it deleting my stored music?

    I have songs on my home computer loaded on my iPhone, & I have songs/albums loaded on my work computer. Is there a way to sync the 2 different computers using my iPhone? for instance, I have a new CD I downloaded onto my work computer that I want to add to my iPhone but it says it is going to delete all the music I have loaded on my phone already. can I add this CD to my iPhone & not delete all my music? When I sync my iPhone then to my home computer I'd like the CD to be added to that computer as well.
    Thank you for your assistance with this & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

    But is it possible to (specifically) sync regularly with my PC iTunes library (as that computer has the larger HD), but everything else (contacts, photos, Mac Mail, etc.) to sync regularly on my Mac, sans hoops each time.
    Correct, but you aren't syncing email account mailboxes and messages via the iTunes sync process. There is an option to transfer selected email account settings to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process and after the account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone, there is no reason to continue including this as part of the sync process.
    In regards to iTunes content, you can sync an iPhone with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and you can transfer photos to your iPhone from a single computer only. You can sync contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • Syncing ITunes with My documents music folder....?

    Was just wondering if its possible to sync ITune with the music folder on my computer as it gets annoying having to add new music manually, especially as Windows media player does this automatically without causing duplicates...

    iTunes doesn't do folder monitoring.
    One possible workaround is to look at 3rd party solutions such as iTunes Library Updater:

    iTsync, a non free commercial program is another possibility although I don't have any experience of either myself.

  • How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone 5 to pc???

    1)   How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone, 5c, 7.1.2., to pc?
    2)   How to delete photos from iphone (when I pick a pic there's no option to delete from trash icon)?
    3)   How do I get the app (VS) VarageSale back on my phone screen? It is only listed in settings > notifications.
    4) Or how do I delete the VS from settings, so I can reinstall?
    NOTE:  I have been to Verizon and they could not help me and it is too far to go to an apple store.  I have downloaded the apple manual and it is toooooo technical for me.

    If you don't have a backup of your pc, you will have to use a third party solution to get your music back. Wiki has a [comparison of ipod managers|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers] here which you can look through to see if any meet your needs. I have used [CopyTrans|http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php] successfully but I did purchase it so I don't know what the free version supports.
    You can [download purchased Apps for free|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519] but that won't work for music, movies, etc.
    Hope that answers your question. Sorry about your lack of backup. Better luck next time.

  • Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

    Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

    Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc)  via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.

  • Sync on two different computers - long overdue...and itunes needs improvement

    Complaint #1)
    I cannot understand why apple at this point STILL will not allow the same ipad/ipod to sync with two computers.  I have a pc at work, a mac at home - why am i unable to sync with the apps in both places?  It is 2012, and the copyright argument just does not fly, especially if i authorize both machines which apple seems to allow one apple ID to authorize up to 5 machines.
    But what is the point of authorizing a computer if you cannot sync to it?  I realize this is a help forum and not a place for rants, but am at a loss to understand why apple is clinging to this awkward and very annoying/frustrating setup.
    Complaint #2)
    About itunes itself, this serves as the main gateway for all music/apps/movies/books. etc., and BADLY needs an upgrade in aesthetics as well as function.
    Since it is now the primary conduit for all apps and other items, why is it even called "itunes"?  But more to the point, it is an awkward and difficult app to use, and it is surprising that it even comes from apple. 
    Mind you, I've been using apple computers since the IIe, so i go back a ways with the company, but itunes is a train wreck IMHO, and a better platform with far more flexible features and improved functionality is long overdue.
    You have a world-class tablet in the ipad 3, why did they not introduce a conduit platform on which to move/transfer documents/files etc that is equally superb?

    Regarding #1, see this post.

  • Is there any way to sync apps from different computers in one ipod touch?

    Hi
    So, I have synced my iPod touch with iTunes in my mac and now I want to install some applications that my brother has in his computer.
    *Is there any way I can sync applications in my iPod touch using different computers, without losing the apps that are already installed in the device?*
    Thanks a bunch for your help!
    Best,
    Ezequiel

    Wow, that was fast! thanks!
    So, if I do that, I'll transfer all the apps from the iPod to my brother's computer and then I'll just need to sync everything back to my iPod... and I'll also need to do the same thing with my mac, in order not to lose the apps that I copied from my brother's pc, right?

  • Reliability of Syncing iCal on different computers

    I am wondering if anyone can comment on how reliable it is to Sync iCal info on 2 or 3 different computers over .Mac. One computer is running 10.4.2 and the other one 10.3.9. Even when things look like they are working fine, after a few days, something goes wrong and one of the compuers stops being able to Sync the iCal data or it never finishes or there are errors etc. It's usually the 10.4.2 that screws up. The Calendar being synced is a huge one, 5.7 mb, but that should not matter. I am beginning to wonder if the iCal syncing amongs different computers is really good enough for heavy duty use or is it just for light, home use.

    Hi Thomas,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First, I think it is fair to say that iCal .Mac syncing was really designed for the single user with a couple of Macs. But that doesn't mean it can't work for something more robust. There are people who are doing as you are with no problem (but perhaps not with as much data). And there are folks reporting problems syncing between Tiger and Panther (makes sense to me). And other folks reporting problems syncing period.
    If you had been following threads here, you'd see that there seems to be a problem sometimes with iCal and iSync so if that's in the picture (has to be for Panther) than perhaps that's part of your problem. See the thread for more info: Patricia W, "iCal "Unexpectedly" Quitting after iTunes 5.0.1 install" #29, 10:59am Sep 25, 2005 CDT
    I know that doesn't answer your question, but know that some folks are doing what you want with no problem.

  • How do I access my ITunes from different computers

    I understand that you can use up to 5 different computers with an I product but I can't get my Itunes to show up on more than the first one I used it one. How do I do this multiple computer thing?
    Thanks in advance!

    Simple word of advice. Put itunes on an external drive rather than use internal memory. then wherevevr you are and whatever computer you are using all you need is the external drive

  • Why does not Apple allows iPhone to be sync by two different computers ?

    I have a pc at home and one in office. But I can only sync it with my home pc. Why does not apple allow iPhones to be sync by atleats two pcs as having different pc for work and home is very general.

    It is possible to sync from multiple libraries manually on other devices (iPads & iPods) so blanket statements that 'it's DRM' don't really make sense to me.
    If it is the only reason why can't non DRM'd content be copied?
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
    See step 6, iPods & iPads have fewer restrictions compared to iPhones.
    Perhaps we would have a better idea if it wasn't all wrapped up in thousands of words spread between the multiple terms & conditions agreements.
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/ww/
    You will need to read those terms & get legal help if you can't work it out titan_sifu, good luck.
