Ok, so I swear this is a new one. Recently I started having trouble connecting my iphone to my work computer, it just wouldn't recognize it in iTunes and would actually crash the program. So I did so digging and found that what is often at fault has something to do with how the computer is "authorized" so the solution is to deauthorize it. Done. No problem, now I can connect the iPhone and it recognizes just fine. But there's a new similarly annoying issue. Now I can see the iphone but I can't do anything with it. I can't add music (my music, not iTunes purchased crap, I don't have a single song like that), I can't even add podcasts, nothing. When I go into the "Music" settings on the iPhone (in the iTunes interface) and try to check the box that says "Manually manage music and videos) it says:
"The iPhone blahblahblah is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
Now the answer to that is no, I don't want it f'ing synced with any library. I want to add whatever music I want to it, wherever I want to. Especially when it's music that I f'ing own and didn't buy from you!!!
I've even gone back and "Authorized" the computer so that the same iTunes account is associated with both computers that I use (work compy, maclappy at home) and that did not help. If they've stuck something in there now that will only allow you to add music from one location I'm going to be pissed. This was never an issue with my Touch (although now that I try it, it is, f me) and I can't help but think this is a new development.
So. Not. Pleased. Any help or enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
