What happens when your itunes library exceeds your iphone capacity?

Is there some way to choose the files/songs you want to place on the iphone and the rest to leave off? Please inform - thanks!

Yes, it will actually tell you there's not enough space and ask if you would like to pick and choose what goes on or have it choose for you. I know because i have this problem all the time.

  • Will downloading a new iTunes ruin my old iTunes library? I tried connecting my new iPhone 5 to my iTunes but it said that it wouldn't connect because my version of iTunes was really old (from 2010) and I never updated. It said I need to download a new version of iTunes (10.7 onwards) for it to be compatible with my iPhone. But my question is, IF I download a new version of iTunes, will all my old songs on my old iTunes disappear? Because if I had to re-download my whole library, I would seriously cry. That would take the rest of my life.
