iTunes wants to wipe phone, I just want to copy songs ...

We now have 4 iPhones in the house. I've set all of the to backup to iCloud, and I'd like to only use iTunes on our Windoze PC to store music, and copy songs to the iPhones as needed.

This works fine for three of the four phones. I plug it in, drag the songs I want to the phone, and eject.

But on my daughters new (1 week old) iPhone 4 it gives me trouble. iTunes refuses to let me drag songs to the iPhone. It keeps telling me that I _must_ first sync the phone which will wipe everything already on it.

Also, iTunes claims that the iPhone has already been synced with another iTunes library, which can't be true. We have no other iTunes library.

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much in advance,
Chris

 

Thanks, I guess I may have to just bite the bullet here and start over. But we don't even have iTunes installed anywhere else, so I'm not sure how that could have happened.

 

We definitely wouldn't lose any music. But she would have to download all of the apps she wants again, login to each customize, etc. Not the end of the world, but quite annoying.

 

No, new, the AT&T guy unwrapped the shrinkwrap in front of me.

 

Oh, excellent! Then I'll cross my fingers and give it a go tonight. Thanks very much everyone.

 

I'll double-check, thanks!
