"Custom Sync" doesn't custom sync

I am just getting to grips with a new aTV and have noticed there seems to be a glitch with the "Custom Sync" setting in iTunes.
I want to use the aTV as the main music source in my hifi without needing to have my Mac and iTunes switched on (at least until my iTunes library gets too big for it all to fit on the aTV), but don't want all my iTunes playlists showing on the aTV (e.g. have specific playlists for an iPod).
So, on the iTunes Apple TV Summary tab I have selected "Custom Sync" and "Show only the synced items on my Apple TV". On the Music tab have selected "Sync music - Selected playlists" and chosen 7 playlists.
The problem is that the aTV is not showing only the playlists I have selected, but also a couple of unselected ones.
I know this isn't the end of the world, but it is annoying. Any thoughts on causes and/or solutions? (or is this just a glitch awaiting the next software update?).
Thanks for any help

Thanks "Winston" - I had wondered if this might be the reason, but it didn't seem to match the logic of allowing only specific playlists to be selected.
The reason I was using playlists was that I found the browsing on the aTV a bit of a pain. It would be great if there was a quicker way of browsing to a particular artist, album, etc, than having to cycle through really long lists. Here's hoping for some improvements in 2.4 (as I said, these are just niggles - I think the aTV is a great bit of kit).

I have my custom sync key but it doesn't work !!

as i install a fresh copy of my OS today then i install ff10.0 and try to set up sync but it shows key error !! please help ...

Hi Pattie.
I spent over 8 hours trying to solve my issue with PSE12 on Win8 and Revel Premium during the last days.
I installed PSE12, converted the old catalogue and started a test account at Revel. About 500 images from my 13000 image libabry went into my Revel storage and I was able to see them on my iPad and iPhone. Looked great.
Once I did this test, I subscribed to Revel Premium, cleaned up my PSE catalogue, deleted the default "Matthiass library" with the 500 images and created a new default library for ALL my images.
Even though the Revel agent reports success, not even one images gets transferred into Revel. When I create new albums on the mobile devices everything sync'd into Revel properly. Just my PSE12+Revel agent on my PC does not work.
Local German support just sent me an email with several issue to check. I took me other 3 hours to go thru the email - but nothing happened.
My guesses:
1. PSE12 and the Windows 8 Revel apps have a conflict
2. My catalogue has a problem
3. I store my catalogue on drive D:
4. Norton Internet Security has a problem with the Revel agent
Kind regards

I updated my iphone 3gs today to the ios 5. I have 4 custom ringtones in my itunes library, but it will only allow 3 to sync to my phone. They were all on before I updated today. I have deleted the one that won't transfer

I updated my iphone 3gs today with ios 5. I had 5 custom ringtones on my phone before updating. After updating, it will not allow me to transfer 2 of those ringtones onto my phone. I deleted both ringtones and recreated them. They are in my itunes ringtone library, and show under my phone ringtones. When I sync my phone, 2 will not sync onto my phone? Any information will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Continuing frustration at Custom Sync

Hi,
I'm bringing up pretty much the same unresolved question I raised here and on other forums back in June and before that last November with regards to Custom Sync on my ATV.
Having just upgraded to the new 3.0 software, I took a deep breath and thought I would try yet again and see if somehow my issue had been resolved in software. My issue is that while my ATV streams content just fine, I have since I bought it been unable to Custom Sync content to it - it either ignores what I specify or syncs a small part of the content.
For example this morning I selected the Music tab. I specified a smart playlist and it copied over 24 of the 192 tracks contained within. I then tried a normal playlist and it ignored it. I then specified a band from the Artist list on the right hand side, ignored. I specified 3 different Movies, ignored on Sync. I specified 5 TV Shows one after the other and it added them ok. I tried a 6th and it ignored it.
Now looking for patterns of behaviour, whenever I update software it always disables the Auto Sync recent content option so it starts to want to copy over that. I have to click Custom Sync and press Sync to override this. However it's almost as if the stuff it does want to allow to be Custom Synced has to be recent additions to my library - in line with the rules of Auto Sync. It was notable that the 5 TV shows I specified were all introduced into this particular library fairly recently, whereas the 6th it did not like has been sitting there for some months. But then again, at least one of the movies it ignored is recent.
Just a hypothesis of course, but really frustrated at this perennial issue. All I'm wanting to be able to do is dump some content onto the thing to take away to someone's house and watch. I cannot do this unless they have iTunes, a wireless network and I have to take the content and add it to their iTunes first. Not much of a workaround for what should be a simple job.
Again, any other similar issues or miraculous workarounds or fixes would be very appreciated.

If you are saying you believe that new content syncs and older content doesn't, you might want to try rebuilding your itunes library.

Syncing custom labels within contacts

On my iPhone, I have quite a few contacts with multiple cell phones, and I have created a lot of customer labels. I've also added notes, dates, etc. When I sync to Outlook, it only syncs the first customer label (as "other"), but none of the rest. And it doesn't sync my additional fields. At one time, I lost all my contacts on my phone, and when I resynced from Outlook, all of this info was missing.
Is there a way to get this info to sync to Outlook? Otherwise, is there another application I can use to sync all of my contact info?
Thanks.

Custom Labels are not Alphabetical.
Same problem with my os7 update, and This is a huge hassle, I re-use labels constantly as I travel for work and
I have hundreds of labels in my contacts.
This is a mess.
The only Good thing I can say is that the 'new' custom label field is finally at the Top of the list of labels.
It used to be at the bottom, meaning I had to scroll thru many many labels to add a new custom label.
So they fixed the tiny little problem and gave us a Massive new problem.
Appple, Please Fix This ASAP.

Custom contact ringtones removed when using Hotmail sync

I sync my Hotmail contacts with my iPhone. Every so often, custom ringtones that I've assigned to various contacts are removed from the contact ... kicking it back to the default ringtone. I'm guessing it's a problem in that Hotmail doesn't recognize them. And when manually (?) synced, Hotmail and/or the iOS remove them due to attribute incompatibility. Should and/or can Apple developers fix their software to accomodate this?

And upon upgrading to the (current) iOS 6 ... the custom ringtones and text alerts have once again disappeared.

Can I sync my custom workspace from CC into CC 2014 (on the same computer)?

I'm specifically trying in Illustrator CC 2014 and my custom workspace from Illustrator CC doesn't show up. I've manually synced on both sides and no luck. I assume this issue applies to all of CC 2014. Thanks for any help!

Hi jfallon,
You are correct. You cannot automatically sync the workspaces present in Illustrator CC as this feature is available only in CC 2014 apps. So, you need to transfer workspaces from CC to CC 2014.
Check the below links for how to do so.

Address Book/iPhone Sync of custom fields

Why doesn't my iPod Touch (which is all set up to sync with my Mobile Me account) sync the custom fields that are set up in my Address Book?
They show up when I log onto Me.com and look in the Address Book from online. So I know that the Mobile Me "cloud" is accepting the custom fields. Why doesn't my iPod Touch sync them? All the other fields sync up just fine.

Closely related question:
The "Related Names" field has always been available in the computer version of Address Book. (Spouse, Child, Assistant, Parent, etc.) This is a VERY useful field, and its absence in the iPhone version of the application is extremely annoying. In fact, it would be even more useful on the phone than on the computer. (e.g., I'm talking to someone and I can't remember his wife's name, so I pull out my iPhone to look this up -- AND IT'S NOT THERE BECAUSE THE FIELD IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE iPHONE!) And as you mentioned, it's one of the fields that DO appear in the online cloud version of MobileMe Contacts.
I cannot imagine any valid reason for this not having been included. There are lots of similar fields that do appear on the iPhone that have multiple choices for the label (phone, email, etc. all provide a drop-down choice as to the label, just like the related names field).
So, Apple People if you are listening: Was this omission simply an unfortunate oversight? Are there any plans to fix this? I keep waiting for such an obvious omission to be fixed with each iPhone software update, but this has not happened.
Thanks for any wisdom on this!

Problems with custom ringtone syncing after iOS update

I recently updated the iOS to the latest version and it wiped out my custom ringtones.
I resynced them but it only loaded three onto my phone.
I then tried to delete them but when I synced again they were still there.
I manually deleted the ringtones folder on the phone using ifunbox and they finally were deleted.
Then when I tried to syc my ringtones back it only synced three (different three).
Dragging and dropping isn't doing anything.

Hello is anyone from Adobe out there? Is anyone from Adobe monitoring the forum? The 1.6 update has stopped the app from crashing when you were trying the sync function to the creative cloud.
However, the sync function is not working as it did in the past. If you make a change in an already existing file in the Photoshop touch app and save it, the sync to the creative cloud results in an explanation point instead of a check to the left of the filename. Toggling the sync button on and off doesn't change the exclamation point to a check. The blue line goes across the file as it normally would when syncing but the explanation point remains. As a result, the changed file is not being synced with the creative cloud.
I am not sure of the exact amount of time it takes, I am guessing about 24 hours. After about 24 hours when you do a sync, the file that had the explanation point to the left of it does change to a checkmark. However, you now have two files. One that reflects the change and has the word conflicted now added to the file name. As well as a file with the same name that doesn't reflect the change and no conflicted added to its file name.
For me at least the sync function no longer causes the Photoshop touch app to crash. However, the 1.6 update also doesn't sync properly to the creative cloud.
Making a change to a file in the Photoshop touch app and trying to sync it shouldn't result in the file not being synced or in a conflicted file. Could someone please help me in regard to this issue.

HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back. when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone. the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

I have synced by I-phone to I-tunes to sync custom ringtones but they do not show up on I-Phone. They are in the syncing que in I-tunes but not on phone. Can someone help here.

I am having problems syncing the I-Phone ringtones from I-tunes to the I-Phone. These are custom ringtones and they do show up in the I-tunes ringtones and syncing seems to work but they are not on the I-Phone?

1. CC 2014 uses different folder for CEP extensions. If you installed both CC apps and CC 2014 apps, Extension Manager CC will install CEP extensoins to both "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions" and "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions". Please check if you can find your extensions in the latter folder.
2. Flash based extensions are no longer supported by PS CC 2014. So if some of your extensions are Flash based, even if they are installed to the folder above, PS CC 2014 will not load them. You have to install their HTML based counterparts. Refer to

ITubes crashes when selecting tv programmes or podcasts in custom sync

Hi i want to set up my apple TV to custom sync but whenever i select this option then go to either tv programes or podcasts section it just crashes itunes. I have 160Gb model apple TV (iTunes says 144Gb so i assume it's 160 can't rememeber) and the latest iTunes. I have just tried reinstalling itunes then rebuilding library via adding all files from a backup. It used to work fine just started playing up recently. Any help is appreciated thanks

Every time I sync my iphone 4 with itunes my ring custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones in itunes. One time it will load 1 custom ring tone the next it may be 3 then the next it is one again. The last time it gave me 4 of the 7.

Every time I sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes the number of my custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones listed. The first time it will load 1 of the ring tones and the next time it will load 3, The next time it will be back to 1. If I have assigned one of the custom ring tones and it does not get loaded it goes back to the ring tone that came with the phone. The last time itunes gave me 4 of the 7 so I have not tried to sync it again. I am using iTunes 10 (10.4.10), and windows 7.
Has anyone else had this problem??
Any ideas to what I need to do??

Have you ever had all 7 of them synced before? Are these ringtones you made yourself? Is there a chance they could exceed 30 seconds in length? Is there a chance you have moved the original file location on the computer? May need the answers to a couple more questions to try and determine an answer.

I've spent an hour plus googling this and none of the 'fixes' works. My custom ringtones show up fine in itunes but are grayed out in iphone when I try to sync. This just happened when I synced my phone: previously worked fine.

I've spent an hour on this: massively frustrating. My custom ringtones disappeared from iphone when I just sync'd and now show up in itunes/iphone interface (on the mac) grayed out: won't sync to phone. I know the audio files work because they were fine two hours ago! (iphone 5 running 8.1.3)

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

I recently got a new computer and now can't transfer new songs from my library to my iphone. are not listed in my library so I'm afraid that if I sync with the new library I will lose all of my custom ringtones.

My custom ringtones don't show up in my iTunes library (only on my iPhone library) so I'm afraid that if I sync to the new computer I'll lose my tones. I've tried backing up on my computer, but then I can't find that information to bring into iTunes. I've tried backing up to the Cloud, but it requires me purchasing more space (which I don't want to do). I've already turned off most of my apps, but I'm still over the limit.
