go to itunes preferences without your phone hooked up, go to devices and click it, uncheck the first checkbox and you are the boss because itunes will not autosync.

When you try to sync the handheld with another computer it will tell you that it can only be attached to one library and ask if you want to switch. On Jul 30, 2009, at 6:33 PM, David Poehlman wrote:
Nut sure. I just came across the idea that backup means put info from your iphone onto your computer. it should not matter that you have not used it with a particular computer before.

I haven't yet tried to sync my iphone with my Mac, but I was hoping to do it this weekend.

When I try to synk my music it said the library on my iphone will be replaced by the library on my macbook. There are no songs on my new macbook so if it replaced it iot would replace it with nothing. My substantial question therefore is how do I copy or sync the music on my iphone and move the songs to my computer? Do I use the import library function?

Last night, for the first time, I synchronized my iPhone with our iMac 24. I selected not to look at ring tones but did elect to change the library with which the iPhone was to sync with. In the iPhone settings dialogue in iTunes, I changed a few things (almost all in the Music tab) and let the process start. After a while I would get an error that a program that I think is called Mobile Services Helper (or something very similar) had exited unexpectedly, "Ignore, Send to Apple, Restart," which reminded me an awful lot of "abort, retry, ignore" back in the DOS days. I then went to the software update menu item in iTunes (after a few restarts) and found that I had not updated iTunes, Safari and a handful of things I didn't care much about. I let the installation procede and the Mac, as expected, restarted. I reattached the iPhone and iTunes, as expected, came up. A standard sync resulted in the same process crashing. Then (after a few more reboots), I started eliminating options to isolate the problem. In iTunes, when things seemed hung, I saw in the LCD space that it was synchronizing Contacts. I unchecked contacts from the sync list and everything started to acted as I would have expected and a ton of music moved onto my phone but the contacts on my phone did not populate the empty Address Book on the iMac. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm not important or useful enough to sign up for MobileMe as its cost outstrips the usefulness of near immediate synchronization.
