Auto sync and more music that fits questions...

OK I have about 120 GB of music in iTunes via my Mac and an external HD. IF I want to sync up to a 60GB iPod on auto rather than manual, will it load up the iPod in order, say alpha until the iPod is full ( so maybe it stops at the letter N for instance) OR will it "sample" from the entire iTunes library so I may get partial artists or albums-sort of a random sync load???

You will get a message that the iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs. Your iPod will not be updated.
If you want to fill up your iPod, create a smart playlist that meets your wishes and check:
'Limit to - 60 GB - selected by random (or another choice)
You may have to lower the figure '60' and leave 1 or 2 GB 'spare'.
Hope this helps.

But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
Pasted from another thread
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

TOC Auto-Sync and Custom Buttons

I have two CHM files.
One contains English content, the other has French content. We're okay with having to change Windows display language to French in order to see the localized interface. It would be great to force it to French without having to do that, but it's better than nothing.
I have a handy dandy little javascript in my master page to flip between topics in the two CHM files. This is where my problems begin.
My flipping back and forth works great but the TOC does not auto-sync despite me having that checkbox enabled on the windows in both projects.
Then I added a Custom Button in each project (let's call it Cat in English and Chat in French) that points to a Redirect Topic (using the meta refresh method) to launch a Remote Topic. The redirection works great but again, the TOC does not auto-sync.
Getting back to my English/French setup... let's say I'm in the English project CHM, I change my display language to French, all of the interface buttons change to French except my Custom Button which is still "Cat". From what I've read, I'm guessing there's no way around this? I'd rather not have to put "Cat/Chat" for the Custom Button text or leave it as is where it will stick out like a sore thumb unless my display language always matches my language content.
Any suggestions or am I stuck with what I have?

You have two different CHM files, right? One in English and one in French.
Correct... one English, one French.
Yay! I understood!
I'm assuming your JavaScript allows displaying the matching topic from the other language? If so, isn't the matching topic simply replacing the topic that was there before? Here's where it gets real fuzzy. The TOC should already be synced to the topic. Are you saying it loses focus or something?
My javascript determines the matching topic from the other CHM and changes the window location to the other topic. If I'm in the English help, on an English topic and click my French link, the link opens the corresponding French topic but my TOC never changes to the French TOC - it's still showing the English one.
Okay, so that's not really a synchronization issue. In my view, synchronization means expanding and highlighting the page in the TOC so the user may see where they were.
If there are two projects, one in English and one in French, each project would have its own Custom Button definition, right? So why not enter Chat in the French project?
I would have Chat in the French project for the Custom Button... the confusion would be if I open the French CHM while my Windows display language is English or change my Windows display language to French and open the English CHM. In those scenarios, the interface buttons will be correct but the Custom Button text will match the content language rather than the interface language - that's when it will look wrong.
Gotcha.
Personally, assuming I'm correctly understanding this setup, I would think you are somewhat asking for trouble if you allow a click within a topic to change the language. I would think it to be a better solution just to keep the user inside the same help file. Choose the language at the beginning if you like, but remain in that language until the file is closed.
Ah, but the end users want on-the-fly translation by topic without having to open the other CHM and find the topic all over again. This is CSH, so the user may very well have gotten directly to a topic and would like to see the other language immediately. Essentially, it should be as though the user closed the current CHM, opened the other CHM and located the exact same topic - instantaneously
I'm thinking that perhaps a possible answer would involve using an HTML Help Shortcut control to launch a new instance of the viewer. Open the CHM for the correct language and display the relevant topic. What I think you will have issues with here is that the CHM viewer adapts to the language of the operating system I believe. So I'm not sure the TOC will know how to dynamically interpret you want French or English. Maybe it will based on the language choice in RoboHelp. But I'd be surprised if it worked that way.
Hopefully Pete Lees will see this thread and pop in to offer some other insight.
Pffft Pffft tap tap tap... is this thing on? Earth to Pete. Calling Pete. Pete, are you there and monitoring this frequency? ... - - - .... ---.--

Auto Sync and Sync Settings suddenly greyed out, not accessible?

Hello Folks
This morning I was trying to add some keywords to a library by adding them to one image and then using auto-sync to add to all images, but auto-sync and sync settings are totally greyed out.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I may have done for this to happen.
I am using LR3 on a iMac.
Regards,
Jim

LOL Well, it's a public forum, so consider it helping someone else out when they're not brave enough to ask the question.

Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?

Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

Ipod won't sync and some music disappeared from drives

I have about 2300 songs on my Ipod classic 30gb.
Recently I was asked to automatically update Ipod. At any rate, yesterday evening I noticed that there were a few exclamation marks on my playlist. It turns out that about 35 songs have suddenly disappeared off my hard drive. About 30 of them were all loaded around the same time (about 6 weeks ago), but not all the songs from that date were missing.
Now, when I go to sync, my Ipod will not sync with ITunes (I first tried because the deleted songs from my drive are still on the Ipod).
I am also seeing that my Ipod music is coming up greyed out. When I tried the diagnostic, I received what many have been writing about. A message that says "one or more sync tests failed."
Since I have the music on my computer, and own the music of the missing songs, I reset my Ipod and did a restore. The problem is NOT fixed. I will get the Ipod to sync when the music gets loaded back on, but then, never after that.
All the missing songs had been deleted from my Itunes playlist before doing the re-sync to make sure it was not a corruption issue.
Meanwhile, 2 other curious things. I have an older Ipod that does show up. But I also had a friend who brought her Ipod over about a month ago. We plugged it in and it was greyed out at the time. We couldn't access it on my computer. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I am concerned. But this was before I updated the software.
I will say that even before the update, I would get messages acting as if I did not have anything on my Ipod drive (it would say, no disk in Drive I, where the Ipod would be). This usually happened at the end of a session and I would
just hit continue or cancel and it would just go away. The bottom line was that it always synced for me. Now, after an alleged sync, it says it's syncing, but it doesn't really do it.
I have done extensive virus checking and my computer is not infected.
Numerous reports on not being able to sync have appeared on the internet and I have not seen 1 single solution, except for a fix on the IPod shuffle. This looks to be a potential ITunes update glitch.
My fear is buying a new IPod and having this thing happen again.
Essentially it ends the life of your IPod at the songs you already have stored on it. Unless I want to just keep restoring my Ipod every time I load music, which, to be honest, is ridiculous.
However, that is the only time this will sync.
Anybody know what I can do?

I just tried CopyTrans Doctor, based upon the suggestion on another thread.
I am glad it is a trial, because it said my IPod is fine. It is not fine.
Still trying to figure this one out.

Since updating itunes to version 10 my ipod classic will not sync any new music that I have added to itunes, can anyone help

I recently updated iTunes to version 10.3.1.55. Since then when I try to sync my IPod classic it says on the top of iTunes (where the barbers pole is) "Step 1of1 Determining Tracks to Sync". This stays like that for about 15 minutes before a message pops up saying "Itunes could not copy ""song title name here"" to the Ipod because an unknown error occurred (-50)". This message pos up for every song title that has been added to itunes since the itunes update. Therefore I am unable to sync any new music. This only happens when syncing the ipod as the iphone syncs with no problems.
Does any one have a solution?

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

IPod iOS5 wont finish sync and more.

I have been having trouble ever since I decided to update to iOS5. I have had many problems from not being able to get my music to not being able to get wifi sync working. I have currently got all of my problems working after 4 whole days but I just cannot solve the problem for not finishing the sync. I will start the sync and it begins doing its normal things.. backing up, adding music, etc. then at the tail end when you think your finally done, it display's this:
It is so annoying! It happen's every single time. I have tried everything (from the previous troubleshooting I had to do). I have restored ipod twice, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, rebooted laptop and ipod. I have lost all hope. Please help.

So I found the solution out today finally. It has to do with Voice Memos (or atleast in my case). I had to remove the voice memos from my ipod and then resync them back. It now works.
Here's a link to a tutorial: http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2011/10/21/my-resolution-to-ios-5-waiting-for-it ems-to-copy-sync-issue/
