Auto Sync to Manual Sync

How do I change from Auto Sync to Manual Sync in iTunes?

Plug in iPod. In preferences there is a check box to turn on manually managing contents. Forget the exact wording.

Auto-Sync Music, Manual-Sync Videos?

Is there any way to put Music playlists on auto-sync, but still have Videos on manual?
I really would like to be able to copy movies and TV shows to the iPod, and then back them up onto DVDs, so they don't take up precious space on my hard drive.
But sync-ing music playlists is convenient.
Podcasts can be managed separately; why not videoes? Or am I missing something?

Once you set your music to Auto-sync, you should have the option to either Auto-sync, or to manually sync the videos. The one confusing part of this is that if music is set to manual, videos are forced to be synced manually...
Let me know,

Ratings syncing on manual sync setting

hello my fellow itouch and itunes users!
I have my itunes set to manual sync so it doesn't sync my whole music library on my 16gb itouch. But as i am listening to music on my laptop and I change/update song ratings.(here is the problem) When i sync my itouch with my laptop how do i get my itunes to update the song ratings so that my itouch and laptop have the same corresponding ratings. As it is right now the itouch does not sync current ratings or anything else what so ever. I think that would be a good feature to add without letting itunes sync all music, but let it update ratings and such, so that all music can be in sync while not copying any more music to my itouch.
Can someone shed any light on how to do this?
Thanks so much
MrWong

I believe that if you go from manually managing your music to syncing, it will clear the iPod and then add music to it. If you can identify all the music that is currently on your iPod, you could put it in a single playlist and then select "Sync selected playlists" from the Music tab and sync only that playlist. However, then you would have the ratings that are currently on your computer and would lose those on the iPod.

Standby sync check - Manual syncing

Hello,
I would like to re-confirm what DB views do we need to really check and make sure whether my primary & standby are in sync in a manual standby mode.
Should it be v$log and v$log_history or v$archived_log.
My doubt arises with one of my client current setup.Logs are manually shipped,and later manually recovered i.e not manged recovered process.
Today i did a manual healthcheck and i see there is no rows populated in v$archived_log with APPLIED='YES' on standby.But v$log_history showed me the current log sequence which is the same in primary too.From standby alert log i confirmed the sequence number is same as the value shown in v$log_history.
Oracle manual says,v$archived_log & v$log_history gets the related info from controlfile.
So why didnt v$archived_log didnt populate the same data as v$log_history.Sometimes i see a value far less in v$archvied_log when compared to v$log_history.
Below is my script which does manual recovery .
The archives are just scp'ed and done a manual recover using sql's.
This is the script part.
recover_auto ()
echo "\n`date`... Recovering database $ORACLE_SID." >>$LOGFILE
sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" <<EOF >$TMPFILE
recover standby database ;
auto
exit
EOF
Here is my output.
@primary:
SQL> select THREAD#,max(SEQUENCE#) ,ARCHIVED,APPLIED from V$ARCHIVED_LOG group by THREAD#,ARCHIVED,APPLIED
2 /
THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#) ARC APP
1 75883 YES NO
@standby
SQL> select count(*) from V$ARCHIVED_LOG
2 /
COUNT(*)
0
SQL> select max(SEQUENCE#) from v$log_history
2 /
MAX(SEQUENCE#)
75883
Does the view v$archived_log & v$log_hisotry behave differently after an restart of the DR(manaul shipping & applying methods) ?
Regards

Hello,
As i have already mentioned the archives are manually shipped using rsync command.There is no a remote location defined on primary.We simply pull the archives from primary and put it into a location on remote. Later recovery script is run which will recover using these archives.
So your query does not provide enough data.
Even though i do a manual recovery on standby, those details on sequence should be there in the standby controlfile. Am i right.But if you check my previous note, count from v$archved_log shows zero.
This is were am stuck.
Thanks,

When you create a smart playlist you'll see a box "Match the following Rule" just make sure it is ticked.
See this tutorial on smart playlists for more information: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/itunes/it2-2.html

Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
Thanks

Unfortunately there is not.

Not without the help of third party software such as this one:

Stop auto sync & change to manual sync

My Blackberry Curve 8330 automatically syncs all music from windows media when I open the mass storage & I want to know how to make it stop so I can manually sync only songs I want.

The next time you connect your IPOD, check the box that pops up in ITunes 7. It should state whether the update setting is checked as "manual", if so, there s/b a grey checked box right below that says disc enabled. If that's the case, ignore what the IPOD says...Last night I was playing with this for hours and I finally was able to change the update setting to manual once I upgraded to version 7. Despite the "Do not Disconnect" warning, My IPOD had the same number of music files before and after.
You can also, charge your IPOD on a computer that doesn't have Itunes loaded.

How do you get voice memos from iphone onto itunes with MANUAL sync?

Ok, the iphone voice record function... I can't get the voice memos onto itunes or my computer. I don't use the autosync function, I like to manage my music and such manually.
I cannot find a way to manually access the voice memos on my iphone through itunes. Many of them are too large to email so I'm stuck.
The only option seems to be auto-sync, and if I do turn on the sync function at this point, itunes will completely erase my iphone and the voice memos I've recorded on it. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Any tips?
I've looked at a lot of posts and haven't found anything to help here. Just a bunch of posts complaining about how bad the voice recorder feature is integrated into the new iphone 3.0 software.
i'm using a 32gb 3gs.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I'm not quite sure if there is a solution to this.
I have the same desire as OP, but yet I do not see my voice memos automatically syncing when I have manual sync selected. I also do not see a playlist folder or anything that indicates voice memos have transferred. Am I missing something? Is there no way to get voice memos onto the computer without having to autosync it?
If someone can provide more details on how to do this, that'd be great. But it seems at this point that I cannot get voice memos onto my computer through iTunes with manual sync on.

Manual sync not working

When I set iTunes to automatically sync, it does. When I set it to "Manually manage disc", it does not auto-sync. But the problem is when I click the "Sync" button in the lower right, nothing happens. If I deselect "Manually manage disc", it syncs up at that time.

There is no auto-sync with Manual. When you manually manage your iPod you drag media onto your iPod -- there is no bi-directional synchronization as with auto-sync and sync-to-playlist. Also in Manual, song rating changes play history on your iPod do not update your iTunes library next time you connect it.

Manual Sync does not appear on IPHONE summary

Hello,
I just purchased a new iphone today and have not been able to manually sync my music from my library into my phone. Th manual sync option does not even appear when the phone is connected to itunes. (Quite odd.) Only two options appear in the summary: "Auto Sync" and "Sync only checked songs". What is wrong? Please help!!!! I've been staring at this computer screen for hours trying to get that option to appear. Thanks....

Have you installed the current iTunes version, and is your iPhone running the current firmware version which is 1.1.3?
The manually manage music and videos option still requires a sync - it just provides for dragging content from your iTunes library to the iPhone instead of using a Playlist or the sync only checked songs and video option.

Changing to manual sync while the ipod is NOT connected?

I was trying to find out if there was a way to change the iPods setting to sync manually (or only for selected material) without connecting the iPod to the Mac.
I do not want to loose high score settings on some games. As far as I can tell I can change settings only when the iPod is connected to my Mac, and when I connect it will initiate an automatic sync all as that was the setting when last connected to the Mac!
Is there anyway to change the setting to manual without having the iPod connected? Alternatively, is there anyway to disable sync, or cancel sync before connecting the iPod?

*Is there anyway to change the setting to manual without having the iPod connected?*
No there's not
*Alternatively, is there anyway to disable sync, or cancel sync before connecting the iPod?*
Yes there is. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.3

IPhone 6, manual sync of contacts and calendar with Google?

I usually prefer a manual sync of things like contacts and calendar with Google, rather than an automatic periodic sync. I don't change my calendar or contact list very often, so manual sync works best for me. I could do this with Android, but with iOS if I sync contacts and calendar with Google, and then turn off that syncing, iOS wants to remove my Google contacts and Google calendar events from my phone. So I seem to have no choice, either auto-sync, or no Google contacts and calendar events at all.
Does anyone out there know of a way to manually sync my Google contacts and calendar events when I want to?
How often does the Google calendar and contacts sync get done? Maybe it isn't an issue, if it only does a sync when I change my Google contact list or Google calendar?
Anyways, I really don't like automatic, periodic syncing to a web site happening on my phone if I don't need them to happen.
Thanks.

I can help you with your calendar problem.
You'll need to export your calendar from google into iCal, and then start making all your changes to your iCal calendar.
I wrote up the procedure with some screenshots here!
http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/10/icloud-moving-google-calendars-to.ht ml
I hope it helps.
About your contacts, I'm not sure I'd be able to give you good instructions since I haven't done the whole procedure myself. I did however, have my Address Books contacts synced with Google.
This post might help you. It talks about moving Google Contacts to your Address Book.
http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/09/iphone-google-contacts-sync-and.html
That should get your contacts from Google to your address book. Then, you can set up iCloud to have your contacts synced, and that should put them to iCloud. You can check by going to icloud.com and seeing if it worked. Then, I imagine you would have to disable the Google syncing with your Address Book (if I remember correctly, your computer will tell you it has to do this once you enable iCloud syncing for contacts).

Manual Syncing

I have my iPod enabled for disk use to manually sync the videos that I want on my iPod but not on my computer. However, this is a great inconvenience as I have thousands of songs whose tags I update regularly, and several playlists that I am constantly editing, adding or deleting.
Is there a way to sync only the music and keep the video on manual sync?
thanks.

No, you cannot auto-sync music and manually manage video -- its all one way or the other.
What you can do is leave the iPod on auto-sync and remove the native files for the videos, +but leave the video entries in your library+. As long as the library thinks the videos are still present, it will not remove them from the iPod on auto-sync. The library may show the "!" next to the videos since the native files have been removed, but that will not cause them to be removed from the iPod.
