Auto sync my iPod -a little help, please?

Hi,
Just got a 60gb 5th gen iPod a month ago, and enjoying it very much -BUT... I'm still trying to decode iTunes, to figure out how it works, because in my humble opinion, it *****!
I spent quite a lot of time converting videos, so they would be playable on the iPod, and, running out of disc space, subsequently deleted the files from my harddisk. Didn't think this would be a problem, as I'd cpoied them to the iPod.
BUT.. then I had some trouble with the number of songs in the iTunes library not matching the number of songs on the iPod, and instead of comparing more than 8000 songs, I thought, why not use the "only sync checked items" option?
So I checked that one, and unchecked the sync movies, tv-shows, podcasts etc. and clicked Apply. And the iPod updated -for quite some time. And when I got up next morning, ALL MY VIDEOS WHERE GONE!!!
Now, HOW can that happen?? When set to only update checked items, and with ONLY a check mark in Music, WHY does it sync the videos as well? I full well knew, that if it sync'd the videos (which weren't on my comp anymore) they would dissappear from the iPod, so of course I didn't want to sync them. So why does iTunes sync content that is un-checked? And can anyone tell me how to do it properly, because I'll have to do it all over again, and manually just ain't as good.
Regards,
Jakob

Anyone?

Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But a few of the cuts did not download properly and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Need a little help please Airport Express

Need a little help please.
I am trying to set up a wireless network at my home using Airport Express.
I have a regular phone line running in to I assume the modem. From there, there is an Ethernet cable running from that box to the back of the PC. My question is, I think, which of those do I unplug and plug into the Airport Express, the one on the back of the PC or the one that is in the back of the modem, or is this totally wrong.
Any help would be appreciated…
Thanks
In advance…
PS I have the manual but to me it is not very clear…

Your connection sequence would look like this:
Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.
This means that you would unplug the cable that is now connected at the back of your PC and move that connection to the AirPort Express.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the third page, you will choose the option to "Create a wireless network" and continue the setup.

Guys, a little help please ???

Guys, a little help please before i launch my new toys out of my pram I've got the new apple TV, Ipad2, and IOS5 update. I'm trying to set up mirrorring , however, when i double click the home page and swipe, the only options it gives me are Ipad or Apple TV. The video shows that i should be able to simply click on mirrorring and whazam it appears on my TV... I can't get this option.... I've rebooted them (router, ipad 2 and Apple Tv) numerous times but still can't get it.......Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Sounds as though the options you're getting are the standard Airplay output icons.
Check current AppleTV software version in Settings>General>About
Latest is 4.4.2 - there's a sticky at the top of the page about updating - if you're on 4.3 or lower just update from Settings.
Maybe someone can confirm the video you mention is actually the correct way to invoke mirroring - link?

Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
Contact them and find out what their policy is.

That much other indicates an interrupted or corrupted sync. The cure is to restore your iPod. The instructions are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

My Iphone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. Can anyone help please?

My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

I can't find most of my files for the songs in my iTunes library and so cannot Sync them with my iPhone, Help please

How to auto sync new ipod apps to ipad?

Hi,
I have automatic sync turned on for my ipad, and it syncs some of my newly downloaded apps. However, it doesn't auto sync others, which I have to manually click install for. I have a feeling these are ipod apps which it therefore doesn't associate with my ipad.
How can I automatically sync ALL my new apps?
Thanks in advance,
Primrose Moss

iCloud is your best option, see http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf#page17 to see how to set it up and the system requirements.

Why can't I move songs from my old iPod to my new iTunes acct and why can't i move new songs from my new iTunes acct to my old iPod?? Help please!

I forgot my user name and password to my old iTunes account. Apple was unable to assist me in recovering the old account so I opened a new iTunes account. I connected my old iPod to my new iTunes account but cannot move music from the iPod to the new iTunes account, and vice versa... if anyone can help me - I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Was all of the music that is on your older iPod purchased with that older content or is some of it also other content imported originally from outside of iTunes? You won't be able to purchased content from the older account to your new iTunes library unless you can remember/regain access to that older account.
For other content, you can transfer it using one of the many suggestions mentioned in this older post by another forum member Zevoneer.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
As to not being able to sync any new content to your iPod, it's likely because you are trying to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library. iPods were designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. So your iPod does not recognize this new library as the one it was originally set up with. In order to associate the iPod with the new library, you need to restore it to factory settings in iTunes by clicking the Restore button from under the iPod's Summary tab.
Of course you won't want to do this until you have successfully moved all the older content off it into your new library.

Can't finish Syncing my music !! help Please

When I sync my music iTunes cancels the operation, the songs are copied but most of them are grey and I can't play them HELP PLEASE !!!!

SInce you already did it, make sure you have nothing but the keyboard/mouse dongle plugged in and do NOT connect to the internet via wired or wireless and redo a full System Recovery, that should resolve this since something died midway in the last recovery.
