IPhone :: Switch Computers With ITunes?
Apr 8, 2012
I have been using a friend's computer, which has a CD drive, to purchase music from iTunes and burn my CDs (purchased years ago) onto the computer for synching with my iPhone4. Well, that computer finally "died," and I purchased an Ultrabook, which does not have a CD drive. However, I did not think much of this, as everything these days can be downloaded, it seems.
Well, when I hooked my iPhone up to my new computer (after installing iTunes on the new computer), it only synched the songs I had purchased from iTunes. It did not synch ANY of my own music, which I burned from my CD collection. I tinkered with some of the synch settings, and all of them will seemingly wipe out my iPhone library and replace it with the iTunes library from the new computer.
To clarify, about 90% of my music on my iPhone comes from my CD collection, which I spent WEEKS transferring So, going through that BS again is not an option, nor is buying all the music (some of which iTunes does not have), since I already purchased all of my CDs.

I have always synced my iPhone 4 with my CPU at work, but I am trying to start over with my personal laptop. I have my music library loaded into this laptop just as I did at work. I am now trying to unsync my phone and just select certain genres from my library to sync. When I plug my phone in, iTunes recognizes it, I click on it on the left side, then I uncheck "Sync Music". Once I uncheck "Sync Music" it appears at the bottom that it will remove the music. It takes away all the blue from the capacity graph. I then click Apply, the sync begins and right before the end, the blue reappears on the capacity graph and all my music is still on my phone. I can't get it off to choose a new group of songs and resync it.

I've been able to sync my iPhone with multiple computers previous to iTunes 10 using the following method (HexEdit, iTunes Library.xml)

As of iTunes 10, I believe this method is broken. Does anyone have any new method of fixing this?

I had an Imac and had to exchange it twice and finally gave up on them and am now only working on my Macbook Air. When I synced my Iphone 4 on the Air, ITunes it says that you have now used 3 out of your possible 5 synced computers.Is there a way to regain the other two synced computer uses? I don't have them anymore and they were reinstalled when sent back.

Wife has iPad 1 and I have iPhone 4s. We have one PC between us and very recently updated her iPad with a synch, which she had never done since buying it two years ago. We did the synch through iTunes using her account. Now I cannot perform updates for apps. I can buy a new app because my own Apple ID comes up for the payment authorization part. No problem. But for doing updates for apps, my wife's apple ID comes up in the dialog for payment, and I have no way of switching it to mine. And my wife won't tell me what her password is. Why won't my own Apple ID come up for this? In settings, my iCloud account uses my Apple ID. As I said, if I buy an app, my own Apple ID comes up for the payment dialog. How can app updates payment dialog Apple ID be changed?

Since my MBP is out of commission (posted about that in a different thread) and I don't know when/how it will be fixed, I'm trying to use my iPhone 4s on my boyfriend's PC in the meantime. I want to add some music that he made, but it won't allow me to, and if I sync it, I'll lose the music that's already on my iPhone. Is there any way to add music without syncing and losing my stuff or am I just screwed? I could redownload the stuff I bought off iTunes, but I have a lot of music on there I've ripped from CDs, half of which I don't know where they are anymore, and all of those files are on my dead MBP's HDD and time machine.

My current Macbook Pro is now five years old and I soon plan on buying one of the new flash based Macbook Pros. I would like to turn my old Macbook Pro into an Itunes/media server and keep all of my music stored there. I do not want to keep any music on the new computer. Is it possible to sync my iphone with the new computer (contacts, apps, etc.), but transer music off of the other computer onto my iphone. If it can be done, can it be done wirelessly, or would I have to use a USB cable every time I want to update my music.

3gs does not respond to on-off switch, ring/silent switch or volume buttons. It will not turn off.
I let the phone deplete its battery which didn't take very long but the problem persists.

I have an iPhone 4s (Verizon). I had recently purchased what was described as an OEM screen plus LCD after I had cracked my factory screen. After replacing the screen and LCD such features as the side volume controls, vibrate switch, and proximity switch (dimming after accepting a call) have stopped working. I double checked to see that all of the connectors were pushed on correctly and they were. Is it possible this may not be an OEM screen and causing the problem or is there a piece of the hardware that I may have damaged that controls all of these functions (i.e. motherboard)?

I am getting my new phone tomorrow and im tired of using my laptop to sync, and would rather use my desktop. I do not want my music, just my apps - but i cant figure out how to view my apps on my desktop! I have never used it before for syncing or anything and i plugged in my phone and i wasnt able to see my purchased apps or anything. Personally i hate itunes because i can never figure out where **** is!
Also, i just updated my current phone yesterday to iOS4 and my phone is back to normal. There are no apps or music currently on it. The only thing i still have is my contacts - which is all i wanted to keep on my phone. I dont have to sync my phone and put all the apps on my phone from my laptop, then sync again with my desktop, do i? that would be horrible on Apple's part..
