Why is it when I want to download a song on itunes from a different computer it erases all of my other songs?

Okay, so when I got my Iphone I went to go put music on it from my desktop. I finally got all of the music I wanted off of the desktop on to my Iphone. Then when I went to download a song that I had just bought from Itunes a little pop up came on the screen asking to erase my music that I had on my phone currently to download this one song. Well I had to so I could download the song onto my phone. So, after I had got the song downloaded I went back over to my desktop to redownload all of the other songs onto my phone. My question is, How are you supposed to download songs off of one computer with out erasing all of the other songs on your phone? I would really like to know because I want to download more songs onto my phone from my dad's desktop and I don't want to go through the hassle of having to redownload those of the songs all over again and risk losing all of the songs I will possibly have on my phone later.

Thank you now how do I get the songs on to the flash drive?
Insert the flash drive into the other computer, and open it so it looks like a window.  Highlight the songs you want in his iTunes, and drag them into that window.
That will cause them to copy onto the flash drive, and will not affect his library.
If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
Then insert the flash drive into your computer.  Find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (it is inside the iTunes media folder) and drag the songs into it.

  • How to download multiple versions of iTunes from a single computer?

    Is there an Apple ftp or other site where any current version of iTunes can be downloaded?   I have a 32 bit Windows computer that can't do downloads, so I have to use another computer to download iTunes. If I try to download from a Mac it only offers the Mac version and my other Windows computer only offers the 64 bit version because it is 64 bit.  I could not find any link on the pages to download other versions of iTunes.  If I disable javascript I can see options to download all the versions but then the download button does not work.  So if anyone knows of a direct link to the different versions of iTunes and Quicktime, I would love to know what it is so I can get the updates I need.

    See the further information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for direct download links for iTunes. iTunes no longer needs QuickTime so you could simply uninstall it. Otherwise this should do it: QuickTimeInstaller.exe (V7.7.5).

  • When I went to download a previously purchased album from an old computer, iTunes only downloaded 1 track and said the rest of the album was never purchased

    This has happened for a lot of my purchased albums, and I don't feel it's fair to have to repurchase something I've rightfully already paid for.

    Go back and download the ones that are missing. It is possible that the some of the downloads that completed are corrupt if the connection was encountering problems while they were downloading.It may be best to delete them and start from scratch.
    Don't find them in the iTunes store, download them from here:
    iTunes > More > Purchased > TV Shows

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • HT5622 Its about 2 days that when i want to download from app store it gives me error1009 and it says your request cant processed why?

    When i want to download from appstore before that i write my apple id password it gives me error 1009 why????? Its new to me

    That error means you're trying to purchase content in a country where such content is not sold by Apple, & Apple's servers have detected your location, generating that error code.
    There is no workaround.

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Why am i being asked for my billing information when i want to download a free app?

    Why am I being asked for my billing information when i want to download a free app?

    Because you have not entered billing information and it is required to confirm you are in the country which you are attempting to acquire content from.

    - 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.
    - Try syncing  the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

    Hi Amir.09395340646,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What app are you trying to download? Is it iPhoto for iOS?  What error message are you receiving? The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Store account on your iPhone. Then restart the device and log in again.

    If the above did not resolve your issue, follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below.
    The link includes the complete details and screenshots, but I've highlighted a few points for you:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    I hope this information helps ....
