i recently just got a new mac book and when i try to edit my music for my iPhone 4s on the computer it won't let me add new music or delete old music. the last time this happened my other mac deleted all my music off my phone and i had to re download it all. how do i get it to let me add music???
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2
Copy your whole iTunes folder to the new computer. Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select that folder. The phone will then sync to the same library.
Ok say you do that, then you don't want to sync all your files. How would you go about doing this?
The phone will go back to behaving as it did before you changed computers. I don't know the details of syncing. I have never owned anything that could sync. Presumably you will do it as you did before when you didn't want to sync everything.

Hey Limos
I do understand the concept of syncing to devices and how they are manually sync was i choose the settings.
But i think i am maybe in the wrong forum as i need help with the Macbook pro.
My problem is i have synced all my music into itunes and now i do not know how to delete them.
I have create another itunes and started again but i am having problems using smart play list and playlist.
Is there a way to uninstall itunes and add the media as i go along putting them into different genres, groups etc?
Vernz- I did not realize you were not the original poster (OP) for this topic. It would be best to start your own topic, outlining its exact needs, to keep the recommendations for your questions separate from those asked by the OP.
but it won't even let me copy the music from my phone to the computer so i can't put it in a file 😢
why does iTunes not let me edit my music?
