Starting To Hate Apple. iTunes Help Please?
So I got a new laptop on Christmas, and I downloaded iTunes. My desktop computer where my family and I usually use iTunes (we all use the same Apple account) the CD drive doesn't work, so we can't upload CDs. My mom got two new Maroon 5 CDs for Christmas, and I wanted to put them on my phone. So I put them into my laptop's CD drive and uploaded them. Then I bought a few songs with my iTunes gift card.
But then I plug my phone in.
iTunes wiped all the songs I had on there and said I could only use one iTunes library, so all the stuff on my laptop went on, but all my other songs were wiped off. I want ALL my stuff on. I tried everything: copying all the music to my flash drive and plugging it into both computers, but neither computer would recognize the music after, going onto the desktop and going to "Purchased" and seeing the music I bought but not being able to get to it....and it's very frustrating.
Any solutions? :/

Have you tried putting all the music from your desktop on, putting the music on. Then go onto your laptop, DO NOT SYNC it. Drag the songs you want onto your phone, probably named '[yourname]'s phone' then just unplug your phone and boom, you have the songs (Or should do).

Sync will make your phone match the library you sync to. You need to
1) Put all the songs you want in one single library. Then sync it.
* This means somehow ripping the CD's say to a flash drive.
* Plug the drive into the machine with the main itunes library.
* Copy the music from flash to a local drive.
* Import the music into itunes using the itunes import feature.
* Now it should be in the library.
* Then sync it to the iphone and you will have all of it.
2) Use a different method to populate the iphone.
This may be used with third party software.

"iTunes wiped all the songs"
There is no point in starting to hate Apple. iTunes is computer software. It does not do anything unless you tell it do it.
To synchronise is to make something the same as something else. When you synchronise your phone with the iTunes library you make the contents on the phone the same as the contents of the library. If you do not have stuff in the library it will not be available on the phone.
The purchased music is available to any authorised computer and can be downloaded directly on the iPhone.
