IPhone :: Suddenly Syncing Wants To Overwrite 4 Not My Library?
May 19, 2012
My iphone will not add music i purchased to itunes library because it says syncing music will overwrite phone with library. Since when is that the policy?? How do I sync now?
I was given an old I phone 3g.I want to use it as an ipod for music only.I followed Allen Sampson's instructions on wiping the content from the phone, but then when I went to my itunes music library and synced, nothing came on to the phone. How do I get my music from my computer on to this phone?
I never use Sync on the iphone but since I got the new iPhone 4 I can't add music to my phone anymore from iTunes. Is there a way to do this without Syncing?
i am in the process of moving to a new Mac (from an older Mac). Due to some corruption (i think) issues in the old iTunes Library, I have re-created iTunes from scratch on the new computer. iTunes on the new computer has been authorized and I re-downloaded clean new versions of ALL previously purchased Apps, Books, Movies and TV Shows from the iTunes store. I am using iCloud Match to only selectively download past purchased Music. I have also moved ALL personal non-iStore content (PDF Books, Movies, TV Shows and Ringtones) to the iTunes Library on the new Mac. So as it sits now, ALL iTunes content that was on my previous Mac now exists on the new Mac in a pristine folder structure managed by a pristine iTunes Library.
Since I did not transfer the old iTunes Library FILE to the new Mac, is it possible to plug in the iPhone and resume "business-as-usual" without any wiping or transfering taking place? Are there sections of the OLD iTunes Library XML that can be pasted into the new (clean) one to make the iPhone think this is just the same old computer? For further information, the iPhone is TOTALLY integrated into iCloud (syncing, backup, match, etc.).

I synced my photos from my mac to iphone 4s. and on my iphone photos the pictures are transfered, but there is a duplicate on the Photo Library and also the name of the photo album. i cannot delete on my phone. how can i sync photos without duplicate?
I have got a new computer and want to sync my iPhone to the iTunes library on my new computer. How I disassociate my iPhone with the iTunes on the old computer and sync my iPhone with the iTunes on the new computer without having any content on my iPhone erased? I have already created a backup of the iPhone on the new computer.
I'm having trouble syncing my iTunes library to my iPhone 3GS with only the checked songs.I went through my library and checked the music that I want. Plugged in the phone and went to the home summary page and checked "sync only checked..." I'm still getting some songs that aren't checked in my library and some of the songs that are checked aren't syncing. What am I doing wrong?
So my question is pretty straight forward, I have tried searching the internet for a week now and haven't found anyone in the same perdicament that I find myself in at this moment. I have aquired a Powerbook G4 that I am wanting to use to sync my iPhone to. Moving from a Windows desktop I find this solution to be better for myself if I can figure out how to do this with minimum fuss.
I have moved iTunes libraries around on Windows computers before, but those computers have had ample Hard Drive space to store my entire iTunes library and it all worked like a champ. The problem that I face now is that my laptop doesn't have enough hard drive space to store the entire iTunes library locally. The items that I do sync to my phone are able to be stored locally, apps, music, podcasts... videos and tv shows which I only use with AppleTv will need to continue to reside on my desktop.
So now for the question.. I have used home sharing to transfer all of my apps, ringtones, podcasts, audiobooks, books, and music to my laptop but everytime I try to set my phone up to sync with the laptop make it truely mobile I am confronted with the dreaded "All data will be erased" message. I do not want this I have years of data in some apps, dvd collections, auto maintenance on my family's automobiles, financial transactions etc. etc. Is there anyway to accomplish what I am wanting to accomplish without losing this data? Ideally I would like to keep my app folders as well as my settings and logins for all of my apps, but I could probably manage if I lost them. I have no other option than to stay tethered to my desktop for my IPhone management which is highly inconvenient.
My Mac is running 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.1, iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1. I do have icloud setup and backing up to icloud as well as locally if that makes a difference.
When I attempted to sync my new iphone to my itunes library on the PC only 181 songs of a library of over 2000 synced to the iphone and no playlists transferred to the iphone. Why?
I have been trying to sync my iPhone 4s to my itunes. When i start sync, it says preparing, step 1 of 6, step 2 of 6, jumps step 3, goes to step 4 then stops and does not sync. Really wanna sync my new songs into my phone.
Everything was working perfectly until about 2 weeks ago (the last time a Calendar event synced).Not sure if there was an iTunes update around this time? Now my iPhone looks as if it's syncing through iTunes, but afterwards Contacts/ Notes are updated, but not Calendar....I've checked all the default calendar settings, rebooted both, done 'detect & repair' on Outlook.... no use. This is a nightmare as I keep all the information about my meetings (addresses, phone numbers etc) in my calendar for when I'm out and about - I NEED to fix this asap?
I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes every day. In the course of charging. Now, I get an error message advising that mail accounts cannot by synced as the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. This is new to me and is, frankly, more than an irritant if I have to turn mail accounts off.Â
What has caused this error message to suddenly appear? And how do I rectify it?Â
I want to overwrite my iphone contacts with my laptop contacts, which I spent the whole weekend editing. I used the settings to do this in iTunes when syncing and it worked perfectly on my iPad, but on my iPhone it just added all the edited ones in to the old ones, so now the iPhone contacts list is worse than ever.
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,
Noticed yesterday that my bookmarks on the Xoom were not syncing any longer. When I looked in Settings/Accounts & Sync, the Chrome portion showed a white life-raft indicator & when I click on it to initiate a sync it always ends with an error - red exclamation point at the bottom of this screen. I do have quite a lot of bookmarks so I wondered if maybe that was the issue so I tried deleting all on the tablet and syncing with a different account that has no bookmarks. Same sync error occurs. Have also tried a FC and 'delete data' for the Browser app from Settings/Applications (multiple times) but it still won't sync with either account.
Just wondering if this is something just happening to me or if there's perhaps an outage at Google that's affecting others' Browser syncing. Anyone have any other suggestions for getting this working again other than doing a factory reset? That's probably the next thing I will try, once I make a list of all my 3rd party applications so I can re-install them later. Incidentally the Xoom is a US WiFi model, non-rooted, with the OTA 3.2 update in place. As far as I know this problem only started a few days ago, well after the 3.2 update.
it is possible to transfer your music library from a 1st gen Ipod touch to your itunes library on a Mac book pro. I have alomost 3000 songs as well as playlists on my Ipod and cant find anyway to transfer theses to my itunes library, meaning i can't add them to my 4s.
Well i noticed when i got a call from my gf the picture came up using her fb profile pic which was always so blurred! So I remember changing it to another picture and selecting it to show up as the caller id picture and to overwrite anything that would change it.
However now , it also changes her bbm picture and it would not change even if she changes it herself now her bbm picture is stuck as well.I forgot where i went to change this overwrite picture setting...
My N8 suddenly hung up and suddenly deleted all of my homescreens. It would have been okay for me to set all three screens back to their original configuration but unfortunately, I can't edit the main homescreen. I can edit the two additional screens but NOT the main (1st) homescreen. It just says homescreen is full! Last thing I installed was the Xmas theme Rugge from the Nokia store.
Contacts on my BB Bold 9780 are messed up, while the ones on my desktop are still good. Can I "force" a sync to use the desktop Contacts to overwrite the handheld Contacts?

Me and another member of my family have always wanted an iPhone but due to us being on vodafone, we went against the idea. Now the iphone has come to vodafone and with rumours of the 4g we are thinking of getting one.If we both have iphones, can we share the same itunes account? I dont really want to have to pay twice for songs so can we sync both iphones with the same library?
I used to use a PC to sync my iPhone but recently but a MacBook. Now when I try to sync my iPhone with the MacBook it says my iPhone is synced with another iTunes Library and if I continue everything on my phone will be erased and synced with the library that has nothing in it. I have over 400 songs and don't want to lose them
