Auto-sync/auto-open

Is there a way to disable both the auto-sync feature & the "open itunes when ipod is connected" feature?
When I tell iTunes not to auto-sync it greys out the option on the iPod screen for me to select that I don't want iTunes to open automatically when it's connected. seems a massive flaw in iTunes imo as I don't see why one would be dependant on the other. Have I gotten something wrong here or is it a massive fail on the part of Apple?

Connect the iPad.
Select it in iTunes.
On the Summary tab, uncheck *Open iTunes when this iPod is connected*.
Then iTunes prefs Advanced > Devices.
Check *Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically*.

HOW TO DISABLE AUTO SYNC ON OPEN IN DW CC2014?

I HAVE IT UNCHECKED BUT IT STILL UPLOADS EVER FILE THAT's OPEN. Sorry about the caps.
Nick

Yes it is extremely annoying isn't it?
To turn it off you go to Edit Preferences and then Site.
Then in Dependent files take the tick out of Prompt on get and Prompt on put. Apparently this turns off the automatic sync as per this help note in the forum:
Dependent Files
Displays a prompt for transferring dependent files (such as images, external style sheets, and other files referenced in the HTML file) that the browser loads when it loads the HTML file. By default, both Prompt on Get/Check Out and Prompt on Put/Check In are selected.
It’s usually a good idea to download dependent files when checking out a new file, but if the latest versions of the dependent files are already on the local disk, there’s no need to download them again. This is also true for uploading and checking in files: no need if up-to-date copies are already at the destination.
If you deselect these options, your dependent files are not transferred. Therefore, to force the Dependent Files dialog box to appear even when these options are deselected, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) while choosing the Get, Put, Check In, or Check Out commands.

So it is not obvious, but this is how you stop automatic sync every time you change your files in DW CC 2014 or save them.
However be warned, turning this off seems to stop Live View working. I have put a question about this in the forum and am awaiting an answer.

How can I stop apps from auto-syncing on one of my computers...?

Hi all
I have an ipad 2 that I sync to my MacBook Pro at home. I also have a few other computers on the same iTunes Store account. One of which is my work iMac 27inch (Lion and iTunes 10.5.2). Every morning when I turn on iTunes it trys to download the apps that I have downloaded from the appstore on my iPad. Some of these are quite big and I certainly dont need them on my work computer. I have turned off auto-syncing of everything on the iMac and iPad but every morning I have to manually go to the Downloads on the sidebar and pause/delete the active downloads. Even if I delete them they reappear the next time I open iTunes. Very annoying...??? Any ideas...???
Richie

Hah.... That was quick...! Seems to have worked too. Very easy. Annoyed with myself that I didnt see that.
Thanks a million

Itunes 10 will not stop auto syncing

I have itunes 10 on a mac and a 160 gb ipod classic.
it will not stop auto syncing when I plug in my ipod, even though "do not auto Sync" button is checked as well as checking off "do not open itunes automatically.
It syncs FOREVER. I would love to find a way to stop this from happening. I dread plugging in my ipod to put on new music etc.

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

Iphone not auto syncing when connected

i have the auto sync when connected option enabled on itunes, but when i plug my phone in, nothing happens.
when i launch itunes, then dis- and reconnect the phone, it's fine and syncs everything. ideas? this just started happening.

I've always had to open iTunes, then plug in phone for it to see it. I've never been able to just plug in my iPhone and watch iTunes get pulled up automatically like with my iPod. I just figured this is normal.

Enable Auto Sync not working in Version 5.3

I need to flag only the active image in Survey mode. When I flag an image all selected images are flagged regardless of whether Enable auto sync is enabled or disabled (Library) Metadata>Enable Auto sync.
Strangely the opposite happens in the develop module. Only the active image is adjusted regardless of whether Enable auto sync is enabled or disabled (Develop) Settings>Enable Auto sync.
I am running windows 7 Home premium. Exactly the same thing happens on my Laptop which is Windows 7 Professional.
It is astonishing that there are no other references to this problem in LR5 but I can't see why it should be my installation...

The same problem on my ipad2 in ios 5.0.1
1. with smart cover
   - set autobrightness on and bright level half , no password
   - close smart cover and open cover
   - ipad2 screen is very dark and does not change until power off & on
2. No smart cover
- does not change bright in any places(dark room, sunlight, living room etc)
But no battery problem on my ipad2

Auto-sync with iSync (feature request)

I have my phone with me all the time when I'm sitting down at my computer and for a while I was using e2sync with Entourage (which is a terrible program btw), and I often have thought about how nice it would be if iSync could be set to try to auto-sync on a certain interval.
Currently iSync can't even be left just running in the dock. It has to be running and open on the screen or minimized. You should be able to close its window and keep it running.
An auto-sync feature should allow you to pick which devices you would like to sync and on what interval. I.e. someone might want their PDA to sync ever hour/day and never have their phone auto-sync or vice-versa.
I looked at first hoping that their would be some app available on the internet that could solve this dillema for me, but I haven't been able to find anything. So please Apple, add this feature to iSync.
Some other features that would be nice:
* Support for more devices
* The ability to sync with sticky notes and possibly other software as well
* More advanced features and choices of direction for syncing
* Ability to set up automatic online backups to an FTP server/WebDAV server of choice
* This would be very nice for mission critical applications
* Would require some sort of auto-sync feature as well
* Support syncing with another computer possibly (so that someone can have a PowerMac at home and then a PowerBook/iBook they leave connected to it that they can take certain stuff, selected by the user, with them. Settings as well).
Thank you, would love to hear what someone from Apple has to say.

Because Bluetooth mobile phones are battery powered and a sync would need a connection, this feature will never come. This was dropped by the Bluetooth specification and is not adopted by Apple consequently.
It is a "Bluetooth is not good at auto doing" thing. This answer is not helpful, however this is the reason.

IPhone Auto-Sync/ Import in Mountain Lion

Whenever I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacPro 5,1 (10.8 Mountain Lion) it opens iTunes and Image Capture tries to access my camera roll even though I have checked off the options for auto-import and auto-sync in both said programs.
What's going on? Is there a setting on the iPhone itself that I don't know about?

Maybe this setting in Image Capture?

How do I configure my iMac to auto sync Pages and Keynote

How do I configure my iMac to auto sync Pages and Keynote documents with iCloud like my iPad and iPhone does. Note I've updated all devices to the latest software and I have iCloud configured for sharing on all but, neither app on my iMac auto finds and sync documents.

Carolyn,
Thanks but, I have iCloud setup and I'm signed into the same account on all devices. I don't think I was clear is stating my problem with or expectations of the iCloud document syncing function. I'm able to create a Pages document (suffix *.pages document) on my iMac and save it in the mobile documents folder but once I access it on my iPad the suffix changes to a "jpg" file and Pages can not open a "jpg" file.
When working on the document on my iPad, the only way I can save it a in the ".pages document" format is to push it though iTunes and then go into iTune on my iMac and save the document down to my destop or document folder. My expectation is that like the iCal, Contacts, Music, and Apps syncing, the document and data functions would be/should be seemless (i.e. same format on the OS platform as it is on the iOS platforms).
It may be a bridge too far to Apple right now but, if they implemented this capability it would be awesome.
Thanks again for your assistance,
R,

Auto sync to alternative hard drive

Hi
I've an 80GB ipod video and a computer with 2 80 GB hard drives. The original C drive has been slaved to the new K drive because of start up problems.
Currently my itunes is found on the K drive.
A number of questions.
1 How do I backup my itunes library to the C drive (and possibly to another hard drive as well-can't be to careful). As we all know the investment isn't only in the ipod but also in the amount of time it takes to put your music on the computer.
2. Is it possible to auto sync so that any new additions to the K drive itunes are automatically backed up to the C drive
3. Opening up itunes on the C drive opens up the latest version of itunes and shows my entire library as it is now. Does this mean the above two questions are void
Any help appreciated

1. Use the Consolidate Library command in the Advanced menu, and then copy the songs from the folder \Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\My Music\iTunes to that hard drive.
2. The actual location of the iTunes library can be changed with these instructions.
3. The iTunes application and iTunes library are stored separately; using a different copy of iTunes which is the same version in the same user account will display the same library.

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? ... - - - .... ---.--
Cheers... Rick

Auto sync wont work on Vista

When I connect my iPod and auto sync it, iTunes freezes and I have to manually disconnect iPod from under My Computer. How do I fix this?

Hi tater salad,
Sorry for the delay.
Be aware that iTunes is still not fully compatible with Windows Vista, and might still have problems with it. (we can do some troubleshooting, though).
Let's try a full reinstall of iTunes and QuickTime.
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document):
Description of the Window Installer CleanUp Utility
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.

? Auto sync pages to iCloud?

If I download a document from Pages in iCloud and open it in Pages on my Desktop, will it auto sync with Pages in iCloud (similar to Google Docs) or do I have to re-upload the Pages document to iCloud when changes made?

Winston Churchill - is that your real name?? I have done a few things, I have uploaded using Numbers for an Excel File and all worked well. I also tried to upload the Excel file, by not converting to Numbers and uploading directly from Excel....did not work. File in iCloud unuseable.
My question was, does Numbers (or Pages or Keynotes) auto sync with iCloud (as Google Docs does with documents, without having to reformat before it auto syncs - great feature), or do I physically have to upload each time I am finished editting a document.
I am struggling whether to stay with the Apple iCloud while they work out their speed bumps, or stay with Google Docs, which I am very happy with, it is seamless, auto synch, don't have to re-upload each time changes are made.\

Question on iOS 5 for iOS developers-managing auto syncs?

A question for any iOS developers out there with access to the iOS 5 Beta release:
My wife and I share a single iTunes account on our 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, & 2 MacBooks. My question is--With all the auto-sync features of iOS 5 (calendars, contacts, bookmarks, photos, apps, etc.), how will we be able to select which features we want synced on each device? Do you know if there are settings to allow her info to be synced to her MacBook, iPad & iPhone, and my info to only be synced with my MacBook, iPhone & iPad? Or will we have to open an iTunes account for her?--which means we wouldn't be able to share apps, etc. Any idea how this might work? -Bob in Austin-

I also think this is more iTunes related than iOS5 or iCloud related. I think there is a iTunes preview freely available since I am pretty sure I downloaded it. I think I have new iTunes related Settings on my iPad under Store. These probably address some of your questions. Since I have not attempted to get iOS5, these settings are not the result of that. I am assuming anything I have is something that is okay for the general consumer to have.
My guess is that all of the things you mentioned will be managed through the iTunes application on your Mac or PC. This may change as the new Store apps are released to the iOS devices. If I am not mistaken, some of the apps have already been updated. Your iTunes account is not going to be OS specific and with the exceptions of your iOS apps, the media you download will not be OS specific. You have specific settings for each iOS device in your computer copies of iTunes, correct? Probably a good plan would be to designated which devices are going to be part of your beta testing and use the machines accordingly.

Is there a way to auto sync playlists while manually managing your music?

I used to use WMP11 before I bought an iPod and used iTunes, and in that I was able to auto sync playlists to my Samsung dap, as well as being able to manually drag tracks/albums to it.
Since using iTunes, I have found it is not as accessible in this regard. Of course, you can opt to manually manage your music, but if you do this, it does not auto sync any info. This means that if I drag a playlist to my iPod and alter it at a later stage by adding more tracks, it won't alter it on the iPod unless I manually replace it with the amended one. It also means that any ratings that I set on my iPod do NOT get transfered to the tracks in iTunes when connected.
What I have done is set a playlist called 'iPod Tracks' in iTunes, and have dragged any extra albums to my iPod using that, as well as the smart playlist 'Top Tracks'. But the disadvantage of this is, if I drag a few songs from an album into my 'iPod Tracks' playlist, then later decide I want the whole album and drag that over, I end up with two of the same tracks in the playlist, which makes it look very untidy (although I am aware only one of each track will be on the iPod) so it is not ideal.
Surely there must be a way to auto sync playlists so that when you amend them in iTunes it does so on the iPod too, as well as manually drag over any extra tracks/albums you want without having a messy playlist work-around like I have done.
Any help/ideas?
Thanks in advance.

There is no way to sync content back to itunes. As you are aware there are a couple of unsupported ways to recover your content, you will need to decide if your content is valuable enough to go down this route.
If so and you are not comfortable with the procedures, I suggest taking the unit to a data recovery specialist with mac experience.
