Auto sync with shuffle?!?!

Hi I just got a new iPod shuffle because i was using a friends iPod nano and i loved the way i could sync with podcasts, i could automatically put the most recent i have not listened to.
However i cant seem to sync with the iPod shuffle in the same way. I thought it would just work in the same way with itunes.
Is there a way to sync with the shuffle in the same way or do i have to drag and drop the podcasts i want into it.
thanks in advance

Yes it seem we can auto fill only music but not poscast. For podcast I have to add it manually to playlist

How do i set the iphone to auto sync with the mac book pro

how do i set the iphone to auto sync with the mac book pro?

Thanks but this is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the settings - setting that allows our iphone to auto sync with your mac book when you make a puchase on either device.
You aren't going to sync with my MacBook when I make a purchase.
And you are not going to autosync your iPod with the MacBook unless you tell it to sync or plug it in.
You can enable Automatic downloads when you make a purchase.
iTunes settings > Store.
When you make a purchase, it will automatically download that purchase to devices set up the same way.
This is not the same as autosyncing your device to your computer (as you first asked).

Auto-sync with iTunes

Why would my iPhone stop wireless auto-syncing with iTunes when plugged into its charger? It did auto-sync for a while, but does not any longer. Manual wireless syncing is fine.

Try a search.

My phone auto synced with my pc now all my vids are gone is there a way to retrieve them?

Hi I connected my phone to my pc to charge it and it auto synced I had videos on the phone of my sisters wedding is ere anyway to get these back once the sync has been completed. I attempted to load the backup created before the sync but it didn't changed anything. Please help as Hess videos are very importan to me

Photos/videos captured by the iPhone which are stored in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not touched or included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup.
If these were videos that were captured by your iPhone, they weren't removed from your iPhone's Camera Roll by syncing with iTunes alone, which is not possible.
What else was done besides syncing? Even if this could be done by syncing with iTunes alone, there is no setting under any of the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes that has anything to do with or affects the Camera Roll.

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.

Sync with Shuffle/can't play songs that are on shuffle

I can no longer play the songs that are on my shuffle when I sync with itunes. Before the update I could select a song and play it before I would remove it.
I can select the song but the play button remains gray. This is no good because I would regularly add and remove songs. I like to give a quick listen before I remove the song. Can't do that now.
Help?
thanks in advance

Well I restarted my computer and sync'd my shuffle again for the 3rd time and now it likes it again. All songs play like before now. Still dont know why it did this though?

No sync with shuffle

I have a new shuffle, when I connect to my laptop, a connection is established and I can view my ipod library. When I try to sync the updated song additions from my computer to the shuffle, it shows a sync is established on the shuffle, but no transfer of files....

Brand new ipad- it won't auto sync with my PC

I expected to pull out my brand new iPad and plug it into my laptop (windows) and it would be a simple automatic process to make them communicate. The iPad comes with this tiny card that makes it sound completely easy and automatic. That did not happen. I've re-booted my laptop and re-plugged in iPad. I've downloaded newest itunes. Nothing happens in my itunes to detect the iPad like it does when I plug in my ipod. The only thing on the iPad screen is a graphic of the USB cord pointing to and iTunes icon. then it goes black again.
Help! I'm very disappointed that I'm wasting so much time searching for help on something I've spent so much money to invest in, hoping it would simplify my life. So far, not so good.

Do you have any other iOS devices like an Iphone of ipod touch that connect to the computer? Also make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements, and make sure you're connecting to a 2.0 usb port directly on the computer, not on a hub.

Is there a way to separate podcasts that I'll go to the iPad and others that'll go to the iPhone and be able to auto sync with iTunes?

So far the only way I'm able to pull that off is having the "sync podcast" on the iPhone and iPad turn off, otherwise everything on iTunes goes into both devices and is a real pain in the...

That's actually what I'm currently doing... but the problem is that by doing so I have to manually delete the podcasts I already heard on my iPhone on iTunes again... because the "sync podcasts" option on the iPhone and iPad is off, if I turn that on... all podcasts go in all my devices, and I like to keep podcasts for iPad and iPhone separate.

Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
Natalie

I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

Auto sync imac and laptop

I have both a imac and powerbook.
I often work remotely from the powerbook and need my files
to auto sync with the imac and vise versa with the most recent files.
I have heard of 'chrono sync' but am wondering if there is a way
to do this via thuderbolt cable via Carbon Copy Cloner?

IPod synced with another computer message

I have an iPod and an iPod nano suing iTunes on one computer, when I plug the iPod in and try to sync it, the iPod syneced to another computer comes up. The nano works fine. The iPods use two different playlists and the playlist for the iPod is empty. Is there any way to get the songs off the iPod and back onto the computer?

"Is there any way to get the songs off the iPod and back onto the computer?"
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod 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: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
