Syncing music from home & outlook from work

I just synced my iphone with itunes and outlook from work but since I keep all of my music at my home computer that is where I want to grab music from. When I tried to sync to my home computer I got a message that says that the phone can only be synced to one itunes and gave me an option to erase my last sync and re-sync. I do not want to lose my email and outlook calender from work so I chose not to re-sync. Is it possible to use my music from my home computer & and my calender from work or do I need to bring my music library to work and add music there?

This is entirely possible and in fact, what I do on a daily basis (sync outlook from work and music from home).
It's all about checking and unchecking the right boxes on each of the tabs within iTunes. At work, you must uncheck ALL boxes except for the ones for outlook on the info tab. You cannot SYNC media (music, video, ringtones etc) from more than one computer - but you can SYNC contacts/calendar etc from one and media from another.
1. uncheck auto sync and uncheck sync when iphone is plugged in
2. at home, uncheck any boxes on the info tab
3. check music / video checkboxes on respective tabs and sync
You should be able to sync these.
IF, at work, you synced anything from the media tabs then you will get the error you did and have to erase it all.
At work:
1. check the calendar/contacts boxes on the info tab
2. UNCHECK all boxes on media tabs (ringtones/music/movies/etc)
3. Uncheck auto sync on iphone connect
4. you should be able to sync these.
Like I said, I do this everyday (updating my calendar from work on my phone and music/movies when I get home). It's all a matter of checkboxes and checking and unchecking the right ones.
Hope this helps.

  • I want to sync music from my PowerBook G4 to my Ipod Generation 7 but it says i need to update the Powerbook but the Powerbook says there is no updates plus i need to update Itunes but its not working.

    I want to Sync music from my PowerBook 4 to my Ipod generation 7 but it says I need to update Itunes to 10.7 but when it finishes updating and i go back to itunes nothing has changed and Itunes is not updated.

    In order to install iTunes 10.7 or later you need OSX 10.6.8 or later. A PowerBook can install up to OSX 10.5.8

  • HT4623 I have the latest iTunes software on my iMac mini and now have IOS7 on my iPhone and now I cant sync music from my library either by wifi or by usb?

    I have the latest iTunes software on my iMac mini and now have IOS7 on my iPhone and now I cant sync music from my library either by wifi or by usb? I get song lists that scoll at a million miles an hour but no actual content. What should I do to get my music onto my iphone.

  • Unable to sync music from PC to iPhone 5 after installing ISO8

    I really hope someone can help me as I have been struggling for over 30 hours trying now (in between studying and sleeping). I have been using iTunes for years, and I regularly create new playlists and sync them.  Last weekend I installed ISO 8 and deleted some music off my iphone to create enough room.  After installing it I connected my iphone 5 to my PC using a usb lead, selected the tracks and playlists I wanted to sync and hit SYNC. It ran through the steps 1 to 4 as usual, but then instead of listing the tracks it was syncing at the top (like normal) it just finished, completed, but the tracks are not on my iphone. I have been doing this for years, I am not an expert but I know how to sync music, it is just not working and I really need the playlists for a dance project at college tomorrow.  I have received a couple of error messages, one stating "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. The disk could not be read from or written to" and another about syncing error. I am really desperate, any suggestions would be most greatly appreciated.

  • IOS6.1: Can't sync music from another computer?

    Previously on 5.1.1 this worked just fine, no I seem to be having problems. Has Apple updated allowances across multiple computers?
    I sync and backup my phone to MacBook Pro 1. From here I maintain my iPhone and sync some photos. I sync music from MacBook Pro 2 by dragging and dropping. Manually manage music & videos is checked on both computers when iPhone is plugged in. Both MB Pros are almost the same spec and same OS.
    Problem is, when I plug the iphone back into MacBook Pro 1 after adding music from MacBook Pro 2 it removes all the tracks I have synced?
    Anyone managing to still do this or has something changed in iOS6.1? Or am I missing something in iTunes 10?

    I discovered that my MB Pro 2 had been deauthorized from my iTunes account. Re-authorized and works just fine!

    Grrrr, this is annoying!  My library is on my iMac back in Belgium.  Now I am working in Tanzania for 2 months and want to download the free U2 album to my iPhone but cannot :-(
    Is there no way I can upload the album without deleting all content on my phone?  Surely there must be a fix to upload legal content from multi libraries/PCs?

  • I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.

    I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad. 
    I have tried rebooting my computer, rebooting and iPad, and nothing works. 
    I'm using an iMac that runs OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.4 and my iPad Air runs iOS 7.0.4.  Please help!

    I could not get music and videos from the computer to the iPad and vise versa although the computer apparently was backing up the iPad. After playing around with them a bit I finally got the two devices to share media again. i still get the message that the iPad and the computer cannot sync - now that i got them to start sharing again i'm not sure how them "not syncing" is going to affect me as yet.
    Thanks for the effort

  • HT1351 How do you sync music from pc to ipad

    How do you sync music from pc to ipad pc saying 10.7 version and asking ipad to update itunes but saying no update available

    If you are trying to sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad and they are in your computer's iTunes library (if not then you should be able to add ibooks, PDFs and digital-rights-free epbs via File > Add To Library), then you should be able to sync them via the Books tab in a similar way to how you are using the Photos and Music tabs to sync those items. Is that not working, and if not does your computer's iTunes give the impression that they are copying over ?

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPhone 5s won't sync music from iTunes

    I have an iPhone 5s that is less than a year old. For the past month now I have not been able to sync music from my computer onto the phone. I can transfer music and playlists and apps etc from my phone to iTunes on my computer but not vice versa. I have managed to sync the music to my iPad 1st Gen with no issues which is funny considering it's a much older device.
    I can still download songs on my phone from the iTunes app perfectly fine it's just getting music from my computer to the iPhone which I'm having trouble with.
    I decided to update both my itunes and iphone to the latest versions/iOS but neither has made a difference.

    I had to delete all my playlists on the phone. Then I synced it with my iTunes/music and it finally placed my new music back on my phone.

  • When I try to sync music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says it can't sync because the connection to the iPod was lost. Please help!

    When I try syncing music from my library to my ipod, I get the message that it lost connection. My ipod is plugged in to the computer though. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes? 
    Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

  • When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary.  It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library.  I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

    Please help.  I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes.  I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle).  I use Windows XP on my laptop.  When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library.  I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too). 
    The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library.  I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod.  PLEASE HELP.  I'm tech challenged to say the least.
