Will syncing (specially Music) with another iTune library erase all applications and information in the iPhone?
Hi,
Will syncing (specially Music) with another iTune library erase all applications and information in the iPhone?
After adding folder of my favourite music to the itune library on my computer, it says: "your iphone is synced with another iTune library on another computer. Do you want to sync with this one?"
What should i do?
yes it will
Sync process is PC/Mac is server iOS device is client and will receive what ever is in iTunes

Hard drive crashed and had to replace drive and logic board on my MacBook pro. After Install tried to sync with my iPhone and a dialog box pops up stating "this iPhone synced with another iTunes library, erase and sync?". I checked the manually manage music and videos box because I don't want all my wife's pics and music on my iPhone. How do I Sync without erasing what I have on my iPhone???

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -

Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

Ipod is synced with another itunes library"erase and sync"!!
im trying to convert all my music on a different computer on a new itune but this message comes up (the ipod is synced with another itunes library. an ipod can be synced with only one itunes library at a time) "erase and sync replaces the contents of this ipod with contents of this itunes library". i need to find out if i do a "erase and sync" will my music library from my ipod be automatically deleted and replaced with and empty itunes library ???
Yes it will be erased and the empty library will replace it. So first thing is you want to say NO to that question. For information/help on getting the stuff into your new computer...

Please help, I am constanly re importing songs, I have to re sync my ipod to my library each time i plug it in, and I am unable to import songs from my media player, any ideas?
When I plug it in I get the **'s ipod is already synced with another itunes library so do I want to erase & sync message
Even though it is the same music in iTunes, iTunes does not see it as the exact same library because you had to re-add all the songs to it.
You will need to erase and sync and you iPod will simply end up as it is now.

My Computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Just got a new computer and when I plug my iphone into it to sync it says Ii can't because its already synced with another itunes I've logged into my itunes acc.) It says I must earse and replace with new itunes I don't want to lose everything on my phone by doing this is there anything else i ca do
That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

Where is my actual library of music on my Ipad? Its right here in my face on my computer (hundred's of songs) but nowhere to be found on the ipad despite syncing the device. *** ? SUPER-frustrating !!
If your ipad music bought via iTunes that you can transfer the music back to computer.It supports all apple device included ipad.You need exchange a new hard-disk drive,and sync music files again.
Besides what mentioned above, you also refer this article about how to transer or sync iPad contents to computer.
Hope that it can do your a favor. -
my ipad 4 cannot work again after trying to restore it using te itune application syncronised with my laptop. After all files/data on the ipad have been erased it cannot start to work again. It only displayed iunes icon on the screen
Try placing the iPad in Recovery Mode on your own and restore again.

My computer crashed and I downloaded Itunes on a new computer and I'm trying to get new music and it says my Ipod is synced with another itunes library {my dead computer} and I can either erase and sync or transfer itunes purchases.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I plugged my iPod into the computer and it says that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library, but it's not. So all my music and apps are gone. What can I do to remind the computer its the right iTunes library and get all my stuff back?
Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

"The iPhone is already synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and synch with this iTunes library?"
It warns that doing so will erase my current iphone and replace the contents of it with the contents in my new iTunes library.

Iphone4 synced with another itunes library
I have been issued with a new iphone 4 from my company which had been activated on a works pc/itunes library. I now wish to sync with my itunes account to download my books, music and films but get this warning message " this iphone is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes library...erasing and syncing replaces the content of this iphone with the contents of this itunes library "
I have been able to sync my apps with no problem its just the other itunes stuff...
Pls can somebody tell me - if I choose the option to erase and sync, what do I erase? is it just the itunes content ie music, photos, film, apps etc or will I lose all or some other information stored in my phone?
thanks in advance MarkYou will get this warning if you change between manually manage and sync.
You can manually manage OR sync. You cannot do both. If you switch between the two, it will erase the current content. -
