  • iPhone and iPod on the same library of music

    I have an iPhone 5 and a iPod nano 7th generation. Can I use the same itunes library for two devices with no data goes missing when I switch between them, or should I create a different library for each?

    Basically, I want to know that if I plug in my phone to the computer and sync new music, then I unplug and plug my iPod without changing libraries and synchronize the music even without any problem?

    Both are on the same Apple ID as my itunes on the computer.

    Hey Behr0208,

    There is no problem of synchronization of multiple devices to a computer / iTunes library.  iTunes keeps track of each device and syncs them separately.  Make sure you remove the device before unplugging it. :-)

    For an overview, please see

    Synchronize your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iTunes - Apple Support

    For different synchronization scenarios, see

    How to use several devices iPhone, iPad or iPod with a computer - Apple Support

    Looks like you want the section:

    Synchronize playlists devices

    You can use several devices on a computer without creating multiple user accounts. To do this, you can set iTunes to update each device with only certain playlists. This method allows you to put all your music, for example, your iPod and keep your iPod shuffle, updated with only your music training. Here's how with iTunes:

    1. Create new playlists iTunes on Mac and Windows that contain all the music you want to sync to each device.
    2. Synchronize your device.

    Note: iTunes for Windows doesn't support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time.

    Enjoy.

  • The music disappeared from the iPhone 6 s

    I recently signed Apple music and shortly after, a part of my music disappeared from my iPhone 6 s.  He still appears in my iTunes library on my macbook.

    I re - configure my phone and did a manual synchronization with my macbook.  The music which has not synchronized has not purchased from iTunes so I suspect that it is not recognized as music.  They were records that were downloaded from hightail and have been on my iPhone to listen to for years.

    Any ideas on how to get all my songs on my iPhone?

    Hi Becky2868,

    I understand that after the signing of Apple's music, music that has not purchased disappeared from unit. No worries, since you have songs in your iTunes library, you can use iCloud music library to keep all the tracks safe and secure place and then access it on all your devices you are using with Apple music. Please have look on the links below to get the best understanding of the works of music library to iCloud and also to get those titles that have been lost, on your iPhone.

  • transfer my music from external hard drive to my library from xp to vista library, or have them play.

    I have a v2000 compaq with xp home on it. I use a 500 gig, "My Book", to store all my music and music only (the letter of the drive on xp is E). Now, I bought a compaq cq60, with basic vista on it (the drive letter for 'My Book' on vista is F). I connected the ext drive in my vista and I raised the media player '11' [xp drive is '10' I think] and my music was everywhere and made different folders and much music would not play. error came say plyr cannot find music because two different files, appoint or has been deleted. So I plug the plyr xp and had many of the same things happen.  What's wrong? And how to fix this? I know that the songs are still there somewhere. How to get them back too?

    Thanks for any help you can give me. Please try to explain in simple terms. Laughing out loud. not a total pc'er again. still much to learn.

    Hi DJ_FEELGOOD_1,

    The library is a database that includes links to digital media files on your computer. Among other reasons, you cannot move the library from one computer to another, because the links in the database would be more correct.

    If you want to replicate your library ongoing on another computer, you must copy your digital media files on this computer, and then add these files to the new library. For more information about adding content to your library, seeAdd items to the library.

    I have an ipod touch 128 GB... but I'm almost to reach its maximum.

    I want to do is buy a new ipod touch 128 GB and add new music without synchronizing the entire library to it... I have 2 ipods in conjunction with the other copies of the other.

    is this possible?

    What should I do?

    Matt

    When you get the new iPod, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and synchronize the music you want on it, in the same way that you synchronize your current iPod - your iTunes will recognize them as different devices and will remember your choice of synchronization for each, it will not (unless, for example, you restore the backup of your current on her iPod) put the same content on both.

    (I asked for your post be moved to the iPod Touch forum, where you have posted is the iPad forum use.)

    Hello! I have a big problem!

    I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

    Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

    When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

  • Music using Apple without replacing the iTunes library

    I have a carefully organized iTunes library consisting of more than 2000 CDs ripped in high quality AIFF 16/44 and more than 1000 LPs ripped in high quality AIFF 24 / 96.  I corrected mistakes in album art and metadata over the last decade in the construction of this library.

    I am interested in the plan on the part of Apple music family.  We have 3 AppleTV that I would be able to use the service on 3 iPhones and 3 iPads.

    What should I do to make sure that I don't experience that some have, there where Apple music begins to overwrite all files and associated data in my current iTunes library folder with files of quality lower and data from Apple's music?

    I don't think he could emphasize enough that you need to secure a complete backup of your existing music and the iTunes library files that you have obviously invested a lot of time in. Only then would consider allowing music to Apple.

    ITunes game completed its scan of your iTunes library on your computer. So what is the status of your music iCloud - it must be bought, matched or download. If so, they should be available to stream on your iOS devices. I suggest that you turn off icloud music library and you disconnect from iTunes on your iOS device.
