Albums Selected for iPod/iTunes Sync Change

After adding an album or project in Aperture, the albums selected for sync in iTunes change.

That doesn't seem to work. First, I (in preferences) turned off auto synching. Then I synced music only on my laptop which promptly erased all my movies from my pod. Then i went to my G5 and tried to sync movies only which i won't do. Also, I cannot drag and drop to the pod from either computer. I'm assuming you meant via iTunes.
I think it's because both iTunes libraries are synced so the pod thinks they are the same.

  • Aperture Albums Selected for Sync Change

    I've been able to repeat this bug reliably: whenever I add an album that ends up listed before albums selected for sync in iTunes, the synced albums shift down (or the checkmark shifts up) one step in the album list in iTunes, rendering iTunes sync of Aperture albums pretty much useless.

  • Convert Selection for Ipod help

    Having just updated to the latest version of iTunes 6.0.2 for the Mac I have been attempting to the Convert Selection for iPod menu selection for video podcasts that have not already sync'd up. I have successfully converted 1 video podcast and loaded it on my iPod 5G, but have also tried unsuccessfully to the same with 4 or 5 others. When I do Get Info on the converted files it does show the .m4v file extension and when I run the video podcasts from within iTunes, it looks like it is the right size.
    Has anyone else seen this and can offer a resolution?

    I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

  • Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

    I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

  • "Convert Selection for iPod" Command Increases File Size?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to convert a file that has the following characteristics (as reported in Quicktime Pro):
    Format: H.264 Decoder, 496 x 208, Millions, AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
    FPS: 25
    Data Size: 572.20 MB
    Data Rate: 659.18 kbits/sec
    Normal Size: 496 x 208
    I know the dimensions are strange, but it's because this is just a test I'm running on a workflow using Hand Brake to bring content back from a DVD (my content).
    Now, when I drop just the original file into iTunes and then try to put it on an iPod, it says it can't be played. So I use the handy new option in the Advanced menu, "Convert Selection for iPod." This yields a new file with the following characteristics:
    Format: AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, H.264 Decoder, 640 x 268, Millions
    FPS: 25
    Data Size: 1.36GB
    Data Rate: 1609.01 kbits/sec
    Normal Size: 640 x 268
    How is it that the data rate and file size have increased so much? It now plays on an iPod, but why? I was under the impression that usually the problem with getting video to play on an iPod was a data rate that is too high. So it seems strange to me that the second file works and the first doesn't.
    Finally, what is the difference between a file with the extension .mov and the extension .m4v? The original file has .mov and the converted ends up with .m4v. But they have the same characteristics in terms of codec. So what's the difference?
    Thanks for any help and info!

  • Convert selection for ipod?

    When I right click a video file in my library, "convert selection does not show up". It just says "Convert selection to AAC" (which is my importing file-type.)
    How do I get it to say "convert selection for ipod"??

    Like someone else said, iTunes needs to be updated.
    Also, know that the option only comes up if the video is not in iPod format.

  • "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone" and Leopard Issues

    I have a number of movies on my hard drive which I would like to convert for my iPhone, so I right click on them in iTunes and select "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone." Since I upgraded to Leopard, this function has been taking an extremely long time, about 12 hours for a half hour clip. Versus when I was running Tiger, it would take about 1.5 hours. Is there a way to either fix this or allocate more resources to make my computer work faster?

    Thanks for the reply, but iTunes did not create a new file. I looked in Movies and in TV Shows, and in Music just to be careful, but there is still only one file, the one that doesn't play on my iPhone. I even looked in my iTunes Music folder for a file it may have created an just not imported, but there is nothing there either.

  • 'Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone' makes my movies silent. Why?

    When I choose the 'Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone' option so that I can put my movies on my iPod, all of the audio becomes silent. The picture is fine and only the music/words go away.
    Why? And, if there's a way, how can I fix it?
    (These movies are either from a camera or from friends.... 'mpg' files.)

  • I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • Can anyone help me with iPod/iTunes syncing problems after recent software update?

    Hi there,
    I wonder if anyone can help me.  Last week I updated my iPod to the latest software (8.2).  Today I deleted some albums from iTunes and added a few others.  I also made some changes to a few of my playlists.  I then synched iTunes and my iPod.  However the synching has not worked. 
    When I connect my iPod, it shows up in iTunes pretty instantly.  When I click on sync, I can see in iTunes that it is syncing and also on my iPod, but the changes do not appear on my iPod afterwards.  Also, after the first syncing attempt, I lost two-thirds of my album cover art.  So, I lost covert art, but no other changes were made.  The albums I deleted from iTunes are still on my iPod and the ones I added to iTunes are not on my iPod. 
    I have looked at the music on my iPod while connected to iTunes.   I can see the songs/albums I have added are there, but they appear in grey and have a doted circle (to the left) next to them.  This shows that they have not synched (I guess). 
    I have already restarted my McBook Pro and iPod a few times.  I synched my iPod with iTunes after every restart, but it has not made any difference.  I also deleted the music I added to iTunes and added it again.  I synched iTunes and my iPod after this, but it has made no difference. 
    I would appreciate any suggestions. 
    Many thanks
    Summary: 
    Updated iPod to iOS 8.2. 
    Made changes in iTunes i.e. delete and added music
    iTunes and iPod show they are synching, but changes to not appear on iPod. 
    Also lost cover art on iPod after synching.

    iTunes 12.1.0.50

    Thank you for your reply.  I followed your suggestion and restored my iPod to its factory settings.  I then restored it from a backup file.  All the problems have been resolved.  Quite incredible that I had to go through that process to fix it.  I hope Apple will find a solution to the iTunes problem soon. 

  • IPod -- iTunes sync stopped working

    I recently bought a new computer and moved the hard drive containing my music library to the new machine. I installed iTunes on the new computer and everything seemed to be working fine. Changes in iTunes are correctly syncing to the iPod. However, changes I make on the iPod (ratings, play count, podcast position, etc.) are not being synced back to iTunes. This worked fine on the old computer. Any ideas why my sync is only one-way on the new computer and what I can do to fix it?

  • How to convert ALAC to 256kbps for ipod when syncing?

    I have a large library of apple ALAC files ripped from CD into itunes and I want to have an easy way of converting to a lessor quality version for syncing with the  ipod.  The problem i don't want duplicates and I want higher than 128 so the check box (convert to 128 on sync) will not be good enough.  I want around, say 256kbs for better quality on the ipod.  How do I do this without having to maintain two sets of files or libraries?  Is there any tool that can do this?
    Thanks
    Alan

    The "sync-on-the-fly" option for iPod syncing currently only works at 128 kb/s.
