[QUOTE="Andrew Broughton, post: 5337, member: 318"] Full disclosure, I'm not an Apple guy. But I do have an iPhone and love it. iTunes on the other hand, is another matter. Easily one of the most annoying programs ever made. But I digress... I have reinstalled my OS on a new partition on my notebook. The old partition is still there (for now) with the original iTunes install which can connect to my iPhone. I have my iPhone loaded with some of my favourite music, all my own and from my ripped CDs. I have a much larger library of music on my notebook's drive, again all my own and from ripped CDs. Installed iTunes, with "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder..." options unchecked. Plugged in my iPhone and after it showed up in iTunes, tried to select "Manually manage music and videos". After clicking "Apply" I receive the dreaded "The iPhone <phone name> is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" Of course I don't want to erase anything on my iPhone. In searching on the 'net, there's suggestions on how to back up your iPhone and get the music off of it and back to it, but I don't want any of that. I just want this copy of iTunes to allow me to copy some more music onto my iPhone. I "authorized this computer" and did "transfer purchases". Help an old Windows user out? [/QUOTE]
