Windows 8 Upgrade - add music to iPhone without syncing/deleting

I just upgraded my home computer to Windows 8 and now my iTunes wants to delete everything on my iPhone before I can add music.  Is there a way to add music to my iPhone without deleting everything?

You cannot.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back, then sync.

    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

  • Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.

    How do you add music to iPhone in Itunes it doesn't show up in the right hand corner anymore?

    Reboot your computer. In iTunes go to View menu. Does it say Hide Sidebar? If it does look the iPhone in the left sidebar in iTunes.
    If it says Show Sidebar and you still don't see the iPhone on the upper right try choosing Show Sidebar and look on the left.
    If it's still not showing see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • How come I cannot put music from my library to my iPhone without syncing and losing music from my other computer?

    I am having trouble putting music from my music library onto my iPhone without syncing. I have home sharing set up already, but not all of my music transferred. I do not want to lose the music I have my phone now. Is there anything I can do?

    Not really. An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library at at time.

    You'll have to delete sufficient GBs from your HD or transfer GBs to a second HD to free up sufficient space.

    syncing my iphone 3gs with exchange server 2007.  Is there a way to delete from iphone, without it deleting from my outlook ?

    iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now I can't add music to iPhone 4.3.2

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now cannot add music to my iPhone (4.3.2 sw). Really would prefer not to uninstall iTunes and re-initialize my library if I can avoid it. If I try to drag one song to my phone, it highlights my phone but won't actually add it. If I select several songs to drag onto my phone, it shows the invalid icon (circle w/ line through it). I can still add songs to my iPod touch.
    Anyone else seen this?

  • How to add music to iPod without deleting audiobooks

    Windows 7
    itunes - latest
    OverDrive Media
    free books from library on a time loan
    It's a *itch!  Every time I add music (which is actually audio files of lectures) all my audio books get erased.  I had one chapter left to hear today and my time loan ended some time today.  Now I have to go back to the library and wait until it comes off hold.  All because iTunes *****.  How can I add or change music on my iPod without touching/changing/deleting or affecting my audiobooks?
    Please, I need help!

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    More information is contained here.

  • Add photos to iPhone without deleting existing if original photos are lost

    How do I add photos to my iPhone without deleting the existing ones on the phone if the original photos on my desktop PC have been destroyed by hard drive crash?
    Basically, I want to insert new photos on to my iPhone. But, if I do a synch, it will delete my old photos, which now exist only on the iPhone itself.
    I only see an all-or-nothing option when you synch. I don't see a way to add new photos without deleting the existing ones unless you still have all of the photos in a folder on your desktop computer. Help?

    You don't. The iphone is nota storage device.
    It simply mirrors the selected content from your computer.
    If it is not on the computer, then it is not on the iphone. Sorry.
    Your pics should have been included in your regular back up copy of your computer file/docs/pics/music/etc.
    If for some reason you did not backup your pics ( not good), then you can e-mail the pics to yourself.

  • HT1267 i've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have replaced my computer & lost my library-question is why can't i drag/drop new downloaded music to my iphone without 'syncing' & losing my 2500 songs from the iphone?

    I've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have recently replaced my computer because the old one crashed, so i lost all the songs in the itunes library. My question is, it seems that now i am unable to drag/drop new downloaded songs without syncing my iphone & losing my 2500 songs from the phone?

    You cannot. Iphone will sync/manually manage music with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing/manually managing with another will erase the current content from the iphone.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Can't add musics to Iphone 4

    Hi, since i've updated my iTunes to 11.0.4 i just can't add musics to my iphone 4. I can add everything else, and that makes me think if something changed when it comes to adding music to the iphone. With my ipad i don't have this problem, i add musics and delete them with no problems, but when it comes to my iphone, i try to sync the library, i try to add them manually but all my tries are unsuccessful.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Cheers

    Try a
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Can't add music to iPhone 5 from iTunes 11

    I am trying to manually add music to my iPhone 5 from iTunes 11. After dragging and dropping music onto the device, it appears under the music section of the device, except it is greyed out. I can't play the music, and when I check on the phone, the music isn't there.

    I figured it out...
    Go to the playlist on your computer that you want to add to your device.
    1. Hightlight the song so you see the arrow and click on it.
    2. Click "Add To" and select the device and playlist you want to add it to.
    You may have to create a new playlist on the device first and THEN add the music from your computer to the device.
    Or highlight all the songs, right-click on the selection, and tell it to add to the playlist on the device...
