Uploading one video to iPhone 3G with non-synced iTunes

It's a simple enough scenario. I have a desktop and a laptop. I manually manage my music on my iPhone 3G on my desktop. Somehow I have to sync my iPhone with that desktop to be able to manually manage my music and video. I don't use iTunes for anything else besides getting stuff onto my iPhone by lack of better means provided by Apple (pun intended).
Now, I have a movie on my laptop (I'm on vacation) and I want that movie on my iPhone. And I don't get it to work without having to delete everything on my iPhone first because turning on manually managing music and video causes iTunes to ask if I want to delete everything on my iPhone. Well, no, I don't want to, I just want to get a movie on my iPhone. How do I do that? Is something as easy as this even possible with this whole "SYNC OR DIE" approach of iTunes? Is there some way to strip iTunes of all syncing capabilities and just let me do what I want?

Managed to do this with the Air Sharing application, but if there's a way to do this without third party software, please let me know.

You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer.

I have all of my music on my dad's apple ID (on my Macbook pro and iphone). I want to start using my own apple ID (the one that my iPhone uses for everything except iTunes store) as my iTunes apple ID - how do I do this without losing my old music?

Authorize your computer with your Dad's AppleID.

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

Ejects the harddrive?
Of what did your old Mac die?
It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere. Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

New hard drive installed in Mac. iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

New hard drive installed in Mac. iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

How do I upload pictures from my iphone to my non-mac pc?

Hi all,
I'm having problems uploading pictures from my iphone to my pc (which is not a mac). I've managed it in the past by deleting itunes but it's such a bore having to install and uninstall it just to upload a few pics! Any suggestions?
Rob

Hi philbert1998
I've tried it but my pc only identifies new hardware when itunes and all the other "mac" related crap is deleated from my pc. When it's all removed I can see the camera icon in "my computer" straight away! It's like the software from Apple is blocking anything from being uploaded externally!

I want to replace the music on my iphone 5s with a new itunes library

i couldn't find any answers on the forum, i'm hoping someone can help me... basically, i got a new laptop and instead of wanting to transfer my other itunes library from my old laptop, i decided to start fresh... i spent ages sorting all my new music out and itunes doesn' sync... i want to delete the music from my iphone and replace it with my new itunes library, i've tried pretty much everything, when i plug my iphone in and click sync, it skips through the 4 or 5 stages, the music never updates on my iphone. i'm really confused, i didn't want to click restore just incase i lost absolutely everything, PLEASE HELP
p.s. i already managed the accounts on itunes store and selected this computer, and my iphone, deleting my other laptop (so only this itunes library is active if that makes sense)

How to associate an already used iPhone 5S with the same iTunes?

Recently I had a breach into my account (been hacked). Money was taken off from my account.
Due to this I have restored my iPhone. I created a new ID and password.
However now whenever I try to install the already purchased apps onto my iPhone I get the error message the my computer is not authorized.
No matter how many times I authorize my computer I get the same message. then that the computer is already authorized.
I did a little search and found out that my iPhone now is the one that is not associated with my iTunes account.
Is there a way to associate my phone with my iTunes Store account again or I'll have to take even more loss now and rebuy all the apps for which I already paid once?

Hi attrium,
You may need to authorize the computer with the correct Apple ID.
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

How does one prevent unathorized iPhone or iPad data sync

It has come to my attention that syncing an iPad or iPhone is relatively easy. So, here is my question, let's say my iPhone or iPad was stolen or maybe "barrowed" by someone and that person decides to sync the data from the iPhone or iPad to there Mac or PC laptops? Now all my information, such as contacts, notes, etc, contained in the iPhone or iPad is synced and transfered to the other persons computer. Even if my device was not stolen, if a person wanted to sync my important data form my iPhone or IPad is possible thus my data would be stolen. This type of data breech could happen at work, home, conventions, hotel rooms, etc... Yes, I know you can do remote wipe-out of data, assuming that you have noticed the thief or your device being "barrowed". So, is there a lock-out to prevent unathorized syncing of data from iPhone or iPad device? I was hoping for a setting that required an access code prior to syncing data, but no such setting exist. Before answering this question please read carefully what I am asking. Thanks.

A passcoded iPhone running iOS4 will not sync with a new computer until the passcode is entered into the phone. You do not need the erase function to be activated for the data to be protected.
I am looking for a way to prevent other accounts on the same mac from being able to sync with my iphone. It seems once you have authorized the iphone on a mac it allows all accounts to access the iphone through iTunes and iPhone Explorer.
Does anyone know how to remove the iPhone/Mac syncing permission once it has been granted?

New iPhone 4S user: Problems syncing iTunes playlists

I have had my 4S for only 3 days. At setup, I indicated that I only wanted several specific playlists to sync to the iPhone, along with a couple of specific artists. This initially worked fine. Now, in playing around with the iPhone & the iTunes interface the past couple of days, I somehow have managed to remove the sync playist option from iTunes, & the playlists are not showing on the iPhone. I feel certain the content of the specific playlists involved is on the iPhone because the GBs for space used for music is correct. When the iPhone is docked, the only options I, now, have on the interface under music are the following:
iTunes Match is on
sync voice memos is checked
the window that says "from Playlists" is "greyed out" or in dim video, & I can't click on anything.
Under the summary page, is the following:
Open iTunes when phone is connected
Sync with this iPhone over WiFi
Sync only checked songs & videos
These 3 are the only items checked.
Looking at the iPhone:
Playlists are empty
Artists, songs & albums fields are all populated which I assume is what the iPhone is detecting in the cloud.
I have been out of the loop for quite awhile in troubleshooting iTunes issues especially for iOS devices, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I duplicated tthis post in the iPhone forum as I wasn't sure which forum would be best. The problem has now been resolved in the iPhone forum.
