Do not want to sync TV shows to computer

This may have been discussed elsewhere, but I cannot find it. I have purchased and downloaded an entire season of a TV show which I will ONLY watch on my television. I have purposely NOT chosen it to sync to my Mac, but it is slowly, very slowly, syncing all 13 episodes to my computer. I repeat, I DO NOT want these shows on my computer, iPhone, etc. Why does AppleTV do it anyway? Also, my iPhoto photos were synced perfectly yesterday and completely missing today!

the appletv is doing what it is designed to do... ie sync purchased content back to your master itunes library (which is on your pc/laptop).
the appletv should not be used as a primary storage location (it should only have copies of your content).
if the appletv was to fail or require a factory restore, you would lose all your content if it had not sync'd back to itunes.

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

Iphone 4 does not want to sync with my computer

I Phone 4 s does not want to sync with my computer after I have installed new updated software on the phone. Just show's on phone that I need to connect cable to I tunes ? I have restarted my computer and installed updated I tunes. My security on computer has also been disabbled.

If you're running Windows, try closing iTunes, then right-click on the iTunes icon and choose Run as Administrator. Then try synching again.

Export contacts in CSV, Excel or other format. I DO NOT want to sync with an email account. This is for an exemployee who just wants names and numbers in a simple format.

I have the iPhone 4S, iOS7.0 of an ex-employee. That person would like a list of their contacts from the phone. I DO NOT want to sync with another email account, just a simple listing of the contacts.

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

My ipod touch does not want to sync with itunes

My ipod touch ( 4 th IOS 5 firmware 5.0.1 8gb ) does not want to sync with itunes on my computer while on another computer be synchronized
HELP please !

What?
What do yo mean it does not want to sync?
Are you trying to say it does sync with one computer but not with another????? If so, this is by design. All iDevices are designed to sync with one and only one computer.

Can I preserve my applications if I want to sync to a new computer?

I don't have my computer that I used to sync my iphone with. Howver, I want to preserve my apps, contacts, and other information... I don't mind if I loose my music. How can I do this if I want to sync to a new computer?

Install iTunes on the new computer and Authorize it in the iTunes store to the same account you have on the iPhone.
On the new computer create at least one contact in the Contacts app supported by iTunes for the OS you are using. Do the same for Calendar if that is important to you.
Connect the iPhone but DO NOT SYNC YET.
Go to the iTunes File menu and choose Transfer Purchases... This will copy your purchased music, videos and apps to iTunes on the new computer.
Go to the Summary tab and set up the applications to sync to, then sync the phone.

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

How do I copy just 1 album from my iMac to my iPad mini? I already have many albums there, but do NOT want to sync. don't want All of my pix there.

how do I add just 1 more album to my iPad mini from my iMac (10.8)?

You still have to sync the photos. Just select the photo albums that you want to sync to the iPad. You can include as many albums as you want and remove whichever ones you don't want to sync.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the folder from which you want to sync your photos - usually iPhoto on a Mac
Click on all of the albums that you want to include in the sync
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Any albums that you don't include in the sync preferences will be removed when you sync. So if you want to keep the albums that are already on the iPad, make sure that stay selected to sync.
If you are running iTunes 11 and do not see the sidebar and the iPad name under the devices heading - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top.

Q10 Calendar does not want to sync with computer (post operating software update)

I have had my Q10 for close to a year and my calendar has always synced properly. In the last days it no longer wants to sync with a message "Sync was unsuccessful - Failed to commit changes to device". I recently upgraded the operating system to the latest version and I'm wondering if this caused the issue reloaded Blackberry Link as well. All the previous setup is the same. However, when I go to the Configure Calendar page, it indicates "Calendar (This computer only) and I am not able to modify it or delete it This is the correct folder none the less.
I thank you in advance for any help or advice on how I can solve this.

Seems it's a known issue with no resolution yet.

I would highly recommend uploading your calendar to an email/cloud service like Outlook.com and then adding the account to the Q10. The calendar items will sync nicely between the device and Outlook.com. Additionally, you will be able to have that data on whatever device you use, or multiple devices. I made this move a while back and couldn't be happier.

Photo's and apps does not want to sync from iPhone to Windows.

I have a I an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.1. My problem is that none of my photo's or apps on my phone wants to sync to my computer. I have some of the photo's on my computer, but since I upgraded to iOS 7 nothing wants to sync anymore. Could someone please help. Thanks.

Sign out of iCloud Control Panel on your computer, restart the machine, then sign back in. Your photos should start syncing shortly.

Do not want to sync apps evertime I sync

Do I have to sync apps on my phone with my computer everytime I sync? When I try to deselect the applications I get a message saying that if I do that my apps on my phone will be deleted when I sync. I use my phone as a go-between my home and work computers and just want to sync my calendar and contacts. I use Outlook on both computers. I really don't need any apps on either PC. Thanks!

Yes.
In regards to iTunes content including 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. Whichever computer that is for you, you need to leave Sync Applications selected under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences, which is the same for Sync Music with that computer. Any apps downloaded with the App store on your iPhone will be transferred to your iTunes library on this computer the first time you sync with this computer after doing so, and the same for any music purchased and downloaded with your iPhone.
If you deselect Sync Applications with iTunes on this computer, all apps on your iPhone will be removed.
