How to use an iPod with more than one computer.
It isn't possible to auto sync an iPod to more than one computer unless the iTunes libraries on those computers are identical.
If they aren't and you sync an iPod to one of them, the music which is on the iPod and not in the iTunes library will be deleted.

Upgraded my phone and restored it from my old backup. I want to sync with a different comp now without losing data.

I upgraded my iphone from a 3GS to a 4s and I uploaded the apps, data etc from the backup of my old phone which was synced with an older G5 Mac as well as a newer PC. The music library is on the older Mac. Going forward I'm only backing up my new phone on the newer PC b/c the OS and iTunes versions on my Mac are not recent enough to be compatible and the computer is too old to update. I'd like to sync w/the music library on my new computer without losing my apps data. Can I sync with the library on my new computer without losing everything else on my phone?

Start up your computer. Run iTunes. Connect iPod. Try to sync again.

I have a fifth gen Ipod and have changed computers. I was not able to transfer all the music over when I created an itunes account on the new computer. How can I save all the songs on my ipod and upload new ones? It wants to sync with my new account.

I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

Rip CD not showing up in Library and I don't want to sync with devices

I would like to rip CD's to my iTunes Library but I don't want to sync with devices. Ripped CDs are not showing up in the physical folder location I have designated in the Preferences Tab...t's an exyernal drive...Any help would be appreciated...

As you know, you can designate an external drive to be your iTunes Media folder location. However, if you ever start iTunes when the external is disconnected or unavailable, iTunes will revert back to the local drive.

I orginally sync my Ipad with another computer, now I want to sync with another computer

I originally synced my Ipad with another computer, now I want to sync with anohter computer, I don't want to erase my Ipad and sync with my Ipod.

This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

HELP please !

What?
What do yo mean it does not want to sync?
Are you trying to say it does sync with one computer but not with another????? If so, this is by design. All iDevices are designed to sync with one and only one computer.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Don't want to sync with address book AND entourage

I've had a dormant copy of Entourage on my computer for some time now, and ever since the new iPhone upgrade, my phone keeps syncing the Entourage address book with the iPhone/Apple address book. I want to keep Entourage on my computer (have some emails saved) but where can I change a setting so it stops asking me to review conflicts in Entourage/Address book?
Thanks!

If you do not want the iphone to sync with the entrouage address book, you need to turn off syncing in the entrouage preferences.
1. open entrouage
2. open entrouage preferences
3. go to sync services section on the left.
4. uncheck whatever you do not want entrouage syncing with.
This will stop entrouage syncing with that particular program (like address book).
If you want to stop the iphone from syncing with your address book program, you need to go into the info tab when the iphone is connected and uncheck sync contacts.
However, keeping an copy of your contacts on the computer that you can back up is always a good idea.
Hope this helps.
