Is there any way to sync 2 different itunes libraries to my iphone?
Okay so I am wondering if there is any way to sync 2 different itunes libraries to my iphone.
I have a laptop at home with most of my music on it. However, I wanted to be able to sync music from my work computer as well. I know I can log in to my itunes account on both computers, the problem with that is that itunes is not the source of my music. I am trying to find out if there is any way I can go home, and sync to my iphone as well as go to work and when i want a song to be put on, I can put it on there as well without affecting any of the existing data.
Please help, I'm new to the apple world and its a little overwhelming.
THANKS SO MUCH!

iTunes will erase the previous data on your iPhone when you sync with a different library on a different computer.
So you need an iTunes alternative that allows you to extract data in different iTunes library. AnyTrans is a tool that allows you to transfer data to your iPhone from any computer without data-loss.

Hi there,
Apple has gone out of their way to prevent you doing this, and the reason is simple enough: If you could just absorb the music from any old install of iTunes, then you could buy a song and share it with all your friends by simply letting them plug in their iPhones or iPads.
There is a possible work-a-round that is technical enough to prevent easy sharing, but do-able enough to accomplish a one time dual-sync of two iTunes libraries to a single iPhone:

... though I warn you it is fairly technical for a beginning user.
If you plan to sync between machines regularly, you may want to come up with a new way to manage your music library.
For a small bit of humor, remember as you read the steps involved that you might have bought an Apple device because someone told you how user friendly it was. :-)
All the best!
