Hi all,
I have a problem that is driving me mad and I don't know how to solve it.
I have a desktop computer where I have everything including my movies and then laptops where I don't bother updating everything especially movies. I put my portfolio (movie) into itunes on my desktop and synced my iphone which then worked fine. The problem is when I plug my iphone to my laptop. I unticked the box saying "sync movies" so that the itunes wouldn't replace my movies on my iphone. The problem is that it deletes all the movies I had there which I then have to fix by syncing my iphone with the desktop, again.
It drives me mad. Why can't I have something on my phone from the desktop computer and then have the laptop sync only what I choose and IF I choose to add something then it shouldn't mess up with what I have there already from my desktop.
Is there a way to have something like that? If so, then please tell me and if not then why Apple is making it so hard for us to have common things on our devices without thinking whether or not I have this or that on both computers so it doesn't mess it up?
I know I could get mobileme and that would keep both of my computers synced exactly the same way that I wouldn't have this problem but that is rather extreme for a simple sync feature. Also, I don't want to pay that much money for something I wouldn't use to the full potential -> waste of money for me
So, is there a solution to my problem or will I be driven crazy forever?
Thanks for any help or advice.
