IPhone :: Possible To Have Two Itunes Libraries On PC?
Aug 30, 2010
My wife use the same pc and account, we have no need for separate accounts on pc.is it possible for us to each have our own itunes library that we can access maybe holding down shift or something on start up? we both have an iphone each but have two very different tastes in music and apps so we are curious cna the one itunes program have two libraries as to which we can sync our own iphone separately.
I want to switch computers that my iphone 4 is connected with, except everytime i try syncing it to my new macbook pro nothing will sync? What do i do?
We have purchased a new computer and have relocated our entire music collection onto it, however we can no longer drag and drop music onto our iPhones at will. Two phones were used with the library and we've previously had no issued with dragging and dropping onto everything, however even though they both have the 'manually manage music and videos' boxes ticked we can't do this any more. When dragging and dropping, the cursor turns into the red circle and the file is not transferred.
I have tried disabling the automatic syncing features on the phones so that it stops interfering with manually trasnerring files, but it gives us the error message 'all existing apps /music and their data will be removed' which is far from ideal.
How do we enable the manual file sharing without having to delete everything from the phone? I'd ideally like the two phones to not be synced with any library so that we can freely connect them to any itunes on any computer and drag and drop the files we need, since there are multiple computers in this house and only being able to use them with one of them is a huge inconvenience. Mainly though I would like the ability to drag and drop files to be restored.
My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.
Could someone help me to solve this problem with my device? I have flashed my device fw and emmc after its brick. The flashing seemed successfully, but when i try to install some apps like fm radio it returns an error message in which inform me that some installation packages are lost like python2.5. How could solve this and have a functional device again?
I currently have 3 Picture Libraries showing up on my Blackberry Bold 9900 phone, all with the same pictures.Why is this happening?How do I stop it from happening again?How do I get back to just 1 Picture Library?
I followed the unlocked instruction from AT&T to restore my 3GS iPhone from factory settings. After completing restoring, follow the steps to set up the phone and stuck at activation screen. I inserted AT&T SIM card and connected to iTune but still failed to activate with following error message on iTune: "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I have retry several times (including disconnect and reinsert the sim) but no luck.
When i tried to update my phone a message popped up saying it had failed. now my iphones screen just tells me to plug into itunes. i tried resetting and that didnt even work. itunes wont recognize my iphone either
i have a customer who has a iphone and needs to update to ios 5.1 for a corporate app to work. he does not have personnal machine at home to install itunes on, and the company will not allow itunes to be installed on any of their systems (you cant even run the installer as its blocked).i have my own machine that i connect to their guest wifi but when i try to download the ios 5.1 update, it says 36 hours remaining (i think they are blocking the traffic).is there a way to download the firmware while i have my machine at home and then install when i am back with the user (i only see the user for about 1 hour a week)
i am stuck in a tricky situation and would things first i know this is quite a frequently asked question as i have done a bit of searching on the net about it however could not not find anything that totaly matches myproblem, i have recently purchased a brand new laptop which runs windows 7 compared to my old desktop which ran XP, i have tried syncing all of my iphone 4s contents onto my new laptop's itunes library including everything not just music or videos and i got the infamous pop up "The iphone is synced with another Itunes library. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this Itunes library" the problem is that my original itunes library does not exist no more as my desktop was completly wiped and had XP redownloaded onto it again because it had a virus, which also wiped all of my hard drive so i cant even get everything i backed up off of my phone from it, i have managed to sign in to the itunes store and allowed my laptop to work with itunes,i have also transferred my purchases from my phone to my new itunes library but this only includes my apps and obviously not my contacts and photos and everything, i still get the pop up if i go to sync my apps from my library anyway, is there any way i can delete my original itunes library without it even existing anymore so that i can just start afresh and sync everything i have on my phone now directly to my new itunes library? or do i need to purchase this iphone rip/backup/store software that everyone goes on about or something? to be honest its really annoying my now as i just want to be able to sync everything like how i used to,
I recently updated iTunes. The update went smoothly, but immediately after the update iTunes no longer shows my iPhone4. The diagnostics show that everything is okay with exception of the no iPhone connected error. I've run through all of the Apple helps but nothing has fixed the problem. The same problem occurs on other user profiles on the same computer. The computer is a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 shows the iPhone and I can access it as a camera or drive. I've re-installed the phone USB driver but still no go. I can plug my phone into another computer and the sync works fine.
My iphone4s will not let me go any further than it saying to plug into itunes....i dont even care about using itunes!! I restored it to its original settings and it still tells me to plug into itunes when i plug it in it tells me that i cant do anything pretty much
How can i see if my pictures are being sync to itunes when i just did is copy to itunes and not plugged my iphone to computer? is there a possibility that it will still sync? even if i don't plug my iphone to computer?
I have tried syncing my phone to my computer before but it deleted any song and playlist that wasn't in the iTunes on my computer. I sometimes will buy a song on my phone and I don't want to have to look up every song I have bought on my phone to go through and download it on my computer. Also I would like to not have to recreate playlist on my computer.
I downloaded some of my old CD's to itunes and I've noticed that the songs are not downloading to my iphone, even when I go to my phone and music and check the box. I've sync'd like 5 times and nothing.
I've also noticed that some of my CD's that I've downloaded are listed under my other music but its not available to checkmark the box under my music.
I have no idea what's going on. Is is a PC issue? Is it an itunes issue?
I dont know how to connect to my itunes on my other pc, as it does not have itunes installed on it. I dont know how to untether my iphone so that I can use my personal hotspot
My Itunes account works fine on the computer with the password i selected, however on the Iphone it never works, ever time i have to update or download an app i have to reset my password for it to work. This new password seems to only last that once in the app store before again it tells me its the wrong password. This has happend tens or times. All the new passwords work fine on itunes just not the app store on the phone
i restored my iphone4 to factory settings because it was running slow and some apps werent working. My phone is now stuck in repair mode and is continually rebooting itself. I know the usual solution would be to restore via itunes but itunes will not allow me to do anything as i get the error "itunes cannot find disk"
After spending the multiple hours required to simply restore my iPhone from a backup, I ejected the phone from iTunes and unlocked the phone with the slider, at which time I was asked whether I would like to set up the iPhone as a new phone or restore it from a backup (cloud or computer-located). I found it odd that I would be asked this question following completion of a restoration from a backup, but I went ahead and told the iPhone I would like it to do what it had already just done, at which time the display told me "connect to iTunes". After connecting to iTunes, my music, app configuration and preferences were visible in iTunes, and I could play music directly from the iPhone. I could also make changes and sync them to the iPhone.
However, the iPhone itself displayed the "connect to iTunes" message throughout, and when I ejected the phone from iTunes this remained. Turning on and off the phone produced no different result. I've started the restore again from scratch now, this time going to the phone and running through the wifi/restore choice options before choosing "restore from backup" in iTunes itself (this is not something that is indicated as required by iTunes or the iPhone at this stage). So I've got a couple hours to burn before I find out if that was the magic combination.Also, open letter to Apple: I don't mean to be unkind, but every single experience I've had trying to back up or restore my iPhone has been an exercise in frustration resulting from the process simply not working as it is described and as it should work. Get your house in order.
My iphone has no ringtone, text tone, no working speaker, and will not connect to itunes. I have reset everything in my power to try and fix this problem, but i can not fully reset the phone, because it will not connect to itunes! Everything is up to date and current.
My girl friend already had iTunes and guess her iPhone4 was setup under the same account at the AT&T store but her home computer doesn't recognize her iPhone when I connect it.How can I add her iPhone to iTunes?
