Auto sync vs auto start

before itunes 9 I was able to set my iphone to auto start and not auto sync, now if auto sync is checked to turn it off, auto start is grayed out and my iphone will not start when plugged in? Does anyone know if this is a new feature for 9.0.1 or is it a bug?

"Secondly, I don't know how to get the SD version without paying for it a second time. Can you tell me how to do that?"
This is not part of the sync process at all. You import these as you would from any digital camera.
" I delete the music off my computer once I upload it to my portable devices to conserve memory."
Not a good idea. The iphone is not a storage device. It is meant to mirror the selected content on your computer. You are asking for problems if you delete the music from itunes.
"Is there a way to organize music without syncing?"
You can manually manage, but if the music is not in itunes you will likely run into problems at some point.
" If I change the settings to manually manage music and videos, will it delete all the photos and videos I currently have synced? "
It should not erase the photos and videos from your computer ( home videos and pics). It will erase the current itunes music and videos.
"If I go to manually manage will those videos on my camera roll get erased? "
No. Camera roll is not part of the sync process. It is temporary storage for vids/pics until you can import them to your computer.
"If I change to manually manage, will apps be manually managed too? How do you go about manually managing apps? "
I do not believe that you can manually manage apps.
Here is an article on Manually managing:
If I change to manually manage, will apps be manually managed too? How do you go about manually managing apps?
"Since the phone won’t be synced anymore, how do I do a back up and restore? What information does a back up save? How do I restore from that back up? "
Apps and music are not part of the backup. You can read about the backup here:

"If I ever wanted to go back to syncing, will everything get erased again?
Yes.

To what extent does auto-syncing work...?

I have researched this but can not find the answer anywhere.
I need to know to what extent does auto-syncing work?
I started my library quite some time ago, and I didn't want to use the auto-sync feature. My library has grown very large and to be honest, I still wouldn't mind doing the manual syncing if my behavior and/or needs hadn't changed. However, I am now going back and adding artwork and making some slight modifications to several songs. Overall, through one type of change or another, this will affect the vast majority of my library. What I need to know is if I were to make info-related changes, will the syncing make the modifications on the ipod, or will they be ignored?
For instance, here are some of the types of changes that I am beginning to make:
- Adding Artwork.
- Changing a track name from "Living in a box" to "Livin' in a box"
- Adding info to the various fields such as album author, comments.
- Modifying a track name from "Love is a Battlefield" to "Love Is A Battlefield"
- Changing an album name from "Miami Vice Soundtrack" to "Miami Vice [Soundtrack]" or "Shrek (Soundtrack)" to "Shrek [Soundtrack]"
- Updating an artist's name from "Jackson Five" to "Jackson 5"
Any insights would be most appreciative.

While in Manual sync, any changes you make in iTunes will not get put onto the iPod until you drag the songs over.
Any changes you make on the iPod thru iTunes will not be on the original in iTunes.
Any rating,
Any reason you are using manual sync instead of Auto sync?
If you don't want (or can't) to put everything in iTunes on the iPod, use selected playlists and manage those playlists.
When you make changes to the songs in iTunes, they will get updated onto the iPod automatically.

All the songs on my ipod shuffle were deleted because of auto sync. Can the songs be recovered anywhere or are they gone?

I plugged my ipod shuffle first generation into my work computer (PC) and itunes deleted all the songs because of auto sync. I had checked the box to not sync with the itunes library because there were no songs in the library. But I guess auto sync was still turned on, and it "synced" all the songs off of my ipod. Are these songs recoverable anywhere or are they just gone?
Thanks,
Frustrated User

The 1st gen (and 2nd gen) iPod shuffle does not have a mode where it automatically syncs to your iTunes library. It uses manual loading all the time (or the Autofill feature). So iTunes did not delete its content because of automatic syncing.
However, it can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. So, if you connect it to a different computer (with a different iTunes library), its existing content is erased. You should get a warning so that you can back out.
If you started using the shuffle with a different iTunes library, the songs that were on it are gone.
NOTE: The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles are different, and work more like the other "big" iPods. If it is set for Manually manage music, you can connect it to a different iTunes library without erasing the existing content.

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.

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.

Playlist Created by User Auto Sync Fear

160g classic. i set up the computer and did auto-sync. afterward, i wanted to clean up the library, so i disabled auto-sync. i have since created a playlist on the ipod and put music to it. now i want to auto-sync the ipod, but am afraid that if i do, i will lose the playlist. it states that all information will be erased. does this include the playlist i created? all the documents i find are about the smart playlists, but not about the ones created by the user. please help. i would like to return to auto-sync, but not have wasted hours putting my playlist together. thanks!

If you return to auto-sync, the playlist will be removed from the iPod but the songs in the playlist will not be removed from the iPod as long as they are in your iTunes library.
To preserve the playlist, what you might do before changing back to auto-sync is to add the new playlist to the On The Go (OTG) playlist -- highlight your playlist's name and press the center button until it flashes. Check to see that your playlist was added to the OTG playlist. You might want to go into the OTG playlist and save it. When you return to auto-sync, the saved OTG playlist should be copied into your iTunes library, at which point you can simply re-name the playlist. There is a bit of unknown here -- normally when you're starting out in auto-sync mode and you create an OTG playlist, the OTG list is copied into iTunes on your next sync. But since your iPod is currently in manual mode, +the OTG playlist may get erased even though you've taken the extra step of saving it on the iPod+.
Another option may be to connect your iPod to iTunes and leave it in manual mode. Then hightlight all the songs in your playlist and copy them and paste the data into a spreadsheet (like Excel). That way you at least have a list to manually re-create the playlist if the above suggestion fails.

I lost my PAID Application because of the Auto Sync.

Well, I just formatted my PC and when I conectted my iPod Touch the Auto Sync starts automatically on iTunes and erase all my paid and free app. Can I get them again without pay? 'cause I paid more than 50 dollars on those applications and iTunes just erased them. I want my app back.
Thank you

Well, I just formatted my PC
And it didn't occur to you to backup your iTunes Library and $50+ worth of iTunes purchases before doing so?
I want my app back.
You forgot the magic word - "please".
Just re-download them using the same iTunes account you purchased them from - you won't be charged again.

Podcasts and Songs missing when Auto Sync'd

I have two HUGE problems...
When I auto sync. Itunes deletes EVERYTHING off of my ipod and starts anew. This happens even after a successful auto sync.... If it was 5 or 10GB not that big of a deal but I'm looking at 35GB.. Which is A REALLY REALLY LONG TIME TO SYNC even with Firewire...
Podcasts don't show up as podcasts.... They show up under the genre of podcast BUT not under the Podcast menu. There was mention that podcasts that are NOT from iTMS won't appear in this list. BUT they are subscribed that way...
Now I've reset, restored, reinstalled, EVERYTHING (outside of an OS restore)
Now the strange thing is that this problem does NOT exist when I manually manage the songs on my ipod...
This is my 3rd iPod 4G the others have all died (one within 2 weeks)... I'm getting into a Love HATE relationship with iTunes and the iPod.

Okay, that is the latest iOS. As far as shortcuts are concerned, they should be available. Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Shortcuts. You should find the settings and area to enter new ones there. The area to set what numbers to receive calls from in DND mode are in Settings, Notifications, Do Not Disturb, and then then Allow Calls From.
Does this help?

Audio files won't auto-sync in Premiere CC - synchronize option is grayed out

I just started using Premiere CC and am trying to synchronize three cameras and one additional audio source using the new auto-sync feature - which syncs by waveform. Even if I'm just selecting two audio clips on the timeline, right-clicking on the clips brings up the menu with the "synchronize" option grayed out - not available. Why should this be?
I'm mixing clips from two Canon T4i files with audio, multiple Red clips with audio, and an mp3 file from an Edirol recorder.
Premiere just doesn't seem to want to even attempt an auto-sync with these files. Even if I unlink audio from video and then try to sync audio - no "synchronize" option.
I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions anyone might have on this.
Rob

It just doesn't work with separate audio clips. This is known. But I've never seen the option grayed out completely. Not sure what would cause that.
You're sure all the camera clips have audio? You can put them in the sequence and see the waveform?

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

Modify repeat_interval for Auto Sync Jobs

Is it "permitted/supported" to modify the repeat_interval for Auto Sync Index jobs created when using the syntax SYNC(EVERY "SYSDATE + 30/86400") which give a repeat interval of 30 seconds
I do not want to have partitions older than a (sysdate-3) days and none greater than "sysdate" to be running. I create new partitions daily and so would like to start/stop partition jobs for the sync window. If I get data outside the window, say 7 days old, then I would run that specific partition sync manually.
Is there a way to define the interval to be a moving window?
Regards

There is a Job created for each partition. There is a repeat_interval parameter set for the Job from the SYNC(EVERY ...) The memory and degreel_parallel parameters go into the Job PLSQL definition
If you change the index then the value in the parameters column from user_ind_partitions only has the most recent value (it seems) and eventually it can get confusing.
REPEAT_INTERVAL is a JOB thing and modifying that works just as well **and** keeps the parameters values intact as when the index was created.
Also, I found **and** it could be something in the syntax I had, that if I had loaded data and the job had not kicked in yet, I could not modify the index for any partition. We load data continuously and we have daily*4 partitions (for 5 years). So quite a few partitions and Jobs. Disabling a Job would be much simpler.

Media Go - Stop Auto Sync

Hi there,
I have an Xperia Z2 and i use Medoa Go for media management. When i plug the phone into my PC via USB in auto-syncs which is fine. However the annoying thing is i'm running a USB storage device (Sandisk Ultrafit) which i have permanently placed in the back of my pc which contains all of my work (i'm self employed).
Media Go also keeps auto-syncing this device every time i start the program as it obviously sees it as removable media. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? If so i can't find it in the Media Go preferences. I thought i may be able to disable this via Windows settings (probably the wrong forum).
I'm not going to abort using the USB device so if i can't sort it Media Go will, er, have to go.
Any help would be appreciated.

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.

Auto sync for all accounts?

Under Settings > Mail > Auto Sync, I have selected Every 15 minutes. I assumed that this would sync ALL of my accounts and ALL of their subfolders, every 15 minutes. It seems that it only syncs the last active folder in the last active email account. This is not at all what I was expecting. Since Auto sync is a general mail setting, it would be very misleading to have it only act on the last active account and folder.
Is this how it was intended to work? Is there something wrong with how I set this thing up?
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hallo Michael,
What you describe is actually exactly how Skype Manager works:
You start with purchasing Skype credits on the Skype Manager group account and set up the manager account to auto-top up on low balance.
You can then enable members of the Skype Manager group to receive credits from this manager credits pool and have them set up individually for auto-top up from that source as well

Auto sync Will Not Switch Off

I am using a new Windows 7 machine which has iTunes 11.0.2.26 version newly installed.
I have had what looks like a helpful answer to another problem but the solution starts with "Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under Edit menu if using Windows)." Which I have done (I am using windows so went to Edit/preferences/devices and "Prevents iPods and iPads from syncing automatically" box is not selected, in fact it wasn't when i found it.
But still, as soon as I plug my iTouch in it syncs. Any answer would be helpful please to get me past first base on my other problem!

You need to check the box that says "Prevent..... From you description it appears it is not checked
