How can I sync 2 different libraries

We have 1 account on 2 computers, my husband has a charge if music it has loaded disc, how can I sync his ipod. He wants only to reset her ipod and sync with my library?

You can manually manage an iPod from several libraries. You have to go to auto sync for manual management via the library currently used for synchronization or iTunes want to remove existing content.

Sync iPod/iPhone/iPad with two computers

It is not possible to synchronize an Apple device with two different libraries, however it is possible to synchronize with the same logic of several computers library. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPhone/iPad compared to the local ID with the unit synchronizes normally with. Are they the same, you can go ahead and sync, otherwise iTunes will want to erase and reload, even when two libraries contain the same files from media. Manual management is not an option with an iPhone because he still wants you to use a single library.

I have my library cloned on a small 1 TB USB I can take between home and work. In each position, I use SyncToy 2.1 for updating the local copy with the hard disk external. Mac users should be able to find other similar tools. I can open the local libraries or the external hard disk and refresh the content of my devices media. Except light is Photos that normally connects to a specific folder on a specific computer, but which can easily be remapped to the library if you create a folder "Photos" in the iTunes Media folder so that files iTunes synchronization maintains this update as well. I regularly scan my library for new files & orphans with iTunes folder watch just in case I have make changes somewhere but then replace the library with one more recent copy of the other. Once again Mac users should be able to find other similar tools.

As long as your support is organized in an iTunes Media folder, held in turn in the main iTunes folder containing your library files (whether or not you let iTunes media folder organized) each library can access the elements on the same relative path to the library folder so the library can be to different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same version of iTunes. If your library is perhaps not in the correct layout see make a library of portable split.

When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there is an entry for it, making it virtually redundant manual management on the iPhone. This behavior has been changed slightly, but it will again that a manual with a library that has the ID management right. If you do not want to sync your library between machines on a copy just regularly the file iTunes Library.itl 'House' to any other current machine, you want to use, then clean up the entrances to the library and import of local content that you have on this box. However, you lose other benefits of synchronization.

For those who no longer have access to the original see library recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device.

    How can I sync my iPhone with my mac mail without using iCloud?

    I use several 'GMX' and 'Web' of e-mail accounts.

    When I send email from my iPhone, they are only saved on it, but neither on the (GMX / Web) server or on my Mac.

    For e-mail accounts to synchronize between devices, they must be configured as IMAP accounts. POP protocol doesn't have this capability.

  • How can I sync my IPhone with Foxbrowser?

    Hello. The question is: How can I sync my IPhone with Foxbrowser?

    I just installed Foxbrowser on my IPhone 5 (iOS 7), because I don't like Safari. It would also be nice to use my Firefox bookmarks synchronized. To use Foxbrowser at all, I have to sync it with my Firefox account. I have an account in Firefox, with which I synced things with several desktop PC.

    Instructions on Foxbrowser say that I must add my IPhone to my sync account. Firefox instructions tell me to enter: home page in the address bar, click Sync at the bottom, then "Sync" at the top of the window Options, and then click "associate a device. Problem, no link of 'Pair device' appears. All I get are "Terms of Service" and "Privacy" links that are empty when I click on them.

    I use Firefox 30.0. I don't know if it's important, but I use custom theme restaurateur.

    Many have asked this "Pair of a device" problem, and I've not seen a solution. Mozilla has help on Android devices adding pages, which do not mention IPhone.

    Foxbrowser offers an option to add my IPhone to sync if I'm not near my computer. Instructions are poor, there is a fear "warning: use at own risk" warning and it does not work.

    Apart from that, my experiences of synchronization have been positive. Firefox Help pages were little help and I had to do a lot of guesswork, but once I got it, it worked fine.

    Foxbrowser is not built, or supported by Mozilla, so we can't really support. Mozilla doesn't support any application on the iPhone in some way because of the restrictive of Apple being placed competing technology prevention policy on the device. To really sync with Firefox Desktop, you must use an installed with Firefox for Android Android, or eventually filed.

  • How can I sync the playlist of Safari on my iPhone for Safari on my windows machine?

    First of all, I must say that I was really happy to see Safari for windows! Thank you!!! Chrome and IE were all two overclocking my machine and the cooling fan will not turn off. I did the same 'stress test' with Safari and the memory usage is less than 25% of the other two.

    On the question: How can I sync the playlist of Safari on my iPhone for Safari on my windows machine? I downloaded the iCloud (iCloud desktop application) Control Panel and updated all my information.

    When I go in the Favorites section of the Control Panel, there is no option for Safari. The only options that are present are: Internet Explorer, Firefox (not installed), and Chrome. I did a lot of research, but can't seem to find a solution...

    Thank you!

    What version of Safari installed on Windows? What version of Windows are you using?

  • How can I limit the number libraries which is to find Photos

    How can I limit the number libraries which is to find pictures?

    I have about 10 libraries I've migrated opening today.

    I followed the advice I got from leonie, (level 10) below.

    Photos will create a new library of Photos in your iPhoto library.  The new library will be named as the iPhoto, with the extension ".photoslibrary" library and your original library will have a new file name extension ".migratedphotolibrary".  Rename the resulting ".photolibrary", so you will always be able to open in Aperture. The icons of libraries will change also. New photo library will display an icon of 'fan photos' with the flower of the Rainbow.


    So, I have now two files in my folder "Images".   One is called "Photo library" (these are ALL of .photoslibrary) the other is 'BACKUP ONLY iPhoto libraries' (these are ALL of .photolibrary).

    When I hold down the option key and start the Photos is to find all the libraries of two files above. How can I say Photos don't not to look in the old folder "iPhoto library"?

    This isn't a feature of Photos

    You can request that Apple itself - http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html - but not, it is not an option
