Cannot auto-sync both music and movies...

I've just purchased a 5th gen video ipod. I've also upgraded to itunes 7. I've come across some strange behavior...but I'm not sure if it is something I'm doing wrong. When I click the auto-sync box in the music tab, itunes updates all my music but removes my movies. I then click the auto-sync box in the movies tab, itunes updates all the movies but then removes my music. ***?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try this:
1) select the movie with the problem in iTunes
2) ctrl click with the mouse and select "show in finder"
3) in itunes delete the movie but select "keep file"
4) go to the finder and reimport the movie that you found in step 2
5) relaunch itunes
it worked for me

HT1535 How do I sync my music and movies from my iPad to iTunes?

I have a new PC, loaded iTunes but I am having difficulty syncing my iPad and iPhone 5 music and moviesto the new PC. In fact I inadvertantly wiped out my music libray from my iPhone 5. The only source now fr all music and movies is my iPad.
I annot understand how to transfer these two libraries to iTunes.

How to sync contacts, music, and movies from iPhone to new mac and unsync from old PC?

Hi, I know this question has been asked a lot but for some reason I could not get a clear understanding of what everyone was talking about and my situation might be a tad different.
So I already had an iPhone that was synced to my dell PC. I just got a new macbook pro retina and now I'm trying to transfer my contacts, movies, and music to my mac from my iPhone. However I keep getting a message that says if I sync to this mac then all of my stuff will be deleted from my iPhone. (I am now aware that they mean only iTunes content, but those are still important to me). I still own my PC but there is no way I can connect my PC and Mac together. Is there a way possible that I could "unsync" my iPhone to my PC and sync it to the Mac without erasing the stuff from my iPhone? Are there other methods of syncing my iPhone to my new mac? My last question is that is it possible to transfer purchases from my mac to my iPhone even if it is or isn't synced to the PC or erased of content?
Hopefully this sounds coherent, and thank you all in advance for your help. I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate your time.

It is designed so syncing is one way only (with the exception of iTunes Store purchases) computer to phone. You need to transfer the library from the old computer to the new one so the phone is syncing back to the same library it used to or else it will request you erase the phone.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
You can use flash drive for copying, breaking it down into chunks if necessary but making sure they get re-assembled correctly again.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Iphone 6 and syncing music and movies issues

I have tried multiple time to syncing my music and movies to my new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.02. I have an iMac with iOS 10.9.5 and iTunes 11.4. I am unable to sync my music or movies. All either do not sync to the iPhone or if they do I playlists are dropped and when I select a song another is played. I have tried reseting the phone and different sync settings. Nothing I have done or forum suggestions I have followed have worked.
I have been using Macs and iPhones for years. This is the first time I have had this problem. The problem extends to my iPad 4 after updating to iOS 8.
Seems to me that there is something seriously wrong with this software either iOS 8.02 alone or in combination with iTunes 11.4.
I am beyond frustrated. This software update is a disaster.

I had this problem - was driving me crazy. I tried many things including restores etc. The following solved it:
Go into iTunes
Open up your new iPhone on the tab in the top right corner
In the Summary box - simply unclick "Sync only checked songs and videos"
Click apply
Then I was fixed!
Good luck

My ipod won't sync and it keeps coming up with an error message saying "internal error" or it tries to get me to restore from a backup. All of my music and movies have been wiped from my ipod and the apps don't work. The backups don't work either. help.

I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to sync it and it came up with an error message saying that it encoutered an internal error and it refused to sync.
I then unplugged it and plugged it back in and this time it told me that I needed to restore from a backup or set it up as a new ipod. I tried to restore from a backup but it came up with the error message "Backup session failed" every time. I then looked on my ipod and all of my music and movies are gone though it still says that they are on the ipod in itunes. I decided to use the restore function and let that finish. After restoring it still doesn't allow me to sync or back up and The music and movies can still not be seen. I am currently attempting to copy the music and movies to my ipod though this did not work with my apps as they transfered but when I attempted to open them they just crash... If someone could please help me it would be great. It is driving me crazy.

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

After upgrading to IOS 5.0.1 my music and movies are gone - I have only one song. Sync does not put my media back

I upgraded my Iphone4 to IOS 5.0.1 when plugged into my fully-patched OS X Lion-version Mac. I no longer have any movies and only one song on my phone. Itunes says I have all of my movies and music, but my phone does not show it. I do have my books (but not audiobooks)

I made a work around. Set my phone to not sync music and movies in itunes. Sync phone. Set my phone to sync music and movies in itunes. Sync phone.
It is very time consuming though.
And, what else is set incorrectly somewhere and I do not know it? There was also a very weird glitch - where "Albums" is listed in when running the music app in IOS5 (5.0.1), it instead had had the name of the one song! That is now also fixed.

I have iPod Touch and husband has iPad3. Apple store synced both together and now on iTunes, iPod shows "other" usage way over. I hardly have anything on my iPod (no books, music, etc.). Do we have to unsync?

I have iPod Touch & husband has iPad3. Apple Store synced both together and now on iTunes my capacity shows "other" (yellow line) way over what I really have. Only have 1.75GB apps - no music, videos, etc. I'm afraid since we synced both devices, my iPod has taken on the iPad capacity. Does this make sense to anyone? If I don't get a solution from this website, guess I'll have to go back to the Apple Store and try to straighten this out. HELP!! Thx, Lee

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

i have i tunes with music and movies but i am unable to sync to my i pod classic 80 gb

What exactly did you try? You have to restore the iPad from the phone backup and download the apps again if you are using iCloud. If you are using iTunes, the process is basically the same but you have to sync the apps back to the iPad.

How do you Sync your music and not erase your movies?

I purchased my first movie from Itunes via my laptop. I synced it to my Ipod Touch along with syncing my music, and everything was fine.
Today I wanted to sync just my music (different playlist), and I got a message that my movies would be removed from my IPT (or something to that effect). The movie took quite long to sync to the IPT, and I was in a rush, so I didn't do anything.
How can I sync my music without having to re-sync the movie?

go to your iphone un itunes > music and put all the music or select the song and itunes will put the songs that are not on the iphone, if it's an iphone which has been synchornized with another itunes it will ask you to erase all the songs and sync the songs you have

I just have the option of books and apps, but not music and movies both on itunes and iOs devices.. why?

in the itunes 10.5 preference and in the iOS 5 preferences (store) I can just select apps and books, no music and movies.... anybody knows why?

For anyone still wondering about this, reports today are that the UK won't see music in the cloud until Q1 2012 as negotiations have only just start with the Perfoamnce Rights Society. Slightly strange that licenses weren't done on a global level but it may be cash related. Apple apparently gave $150m to universal alone in advances
