Functionality to sync local speakers with distant speakers in iTunes 6 gone

In version 6 of iTunes it was possible to sync distant speakers with local speakers even though it often resulted with an error. Now in version 7 it is no longer possible. With your Airfoil one can "monitor locally" but the sound is out of sync with the distant speakers. It was the main reason I bought an Airport Express and I now feel cheated.
I previously posted a subject about the error but it went unanswered (Topic: Unknown Error -3256 with itunes).

I'm using iTunes 7 and Airport Express and i don't have any problem. i'm always listening the music on local and wireless on the same time and it's never out of sync. !!!
You must have a problem somewhere, maybe you should re-install iTunes 7.
Maybe is an error on the Window version only (Viva Mac)

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...

Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

How do I sync one iPhone with two laptops using iTunes (not iCloud)?

I just got a new iPhone 4S and want to sync it with two separate laptops (using the simple cable procedure, not iCloud) -- my old(er) MacBook Pro2.2 15", with Intel Core 2 Duo running System 10.5.8, and my new MacBook Pro with Intel Core i7 running Lion.
I tried this once before and got chaos -- syncing on the second laptop gave me multiple entries in my calendar and address book. I don't want to go through this again until I know the right procedure, if there is one.

When you get your new laptop repaired, transfer your iTunes library & other important data to your new computer. When you first sync your phone to this computer, all iTunes content will be erased from your phone. However since you've copied your iTunes library to your new computer, just sync the content back to your phone.

Sync File Corruption with 64-bit Vista/iTunes

I'm getting some file corruption problems when trying to sync my new 16GB iPhone with the latest 64-bit iTunes (7.6.0.29). "yes I have the 64-bit version".
The sync seems to go correctly, but I have yet to be able to play any videos all the way through. Videos purchased from iTunes as well as self encoded files. All said files were working on my 60GB iPod Video with previous versions of iTunes on the same 64-bit Vista machine.
The videos will start playing fine, but will eventually reach a point in the file that was corrupted during transfer, the audio will drop out and the video will distort, then it exits from the video as if it reached the end of the file. No error messages or anything. If I play the file again, it will do the same thing at the exact same spot, so its a problem in the file. Now, if I remove the file and add it back, the file still has the same problem, but in a different location, which means the source is fine, but the copy to the device during the sync is the issue.
To test, I synced the exact same content from my notebook which is 32-bit XP, and zero problems. So I'm currently just using my notebook for syncing at the moment.
Anyone else with 64-bit Vista have a similar issue?

Hello
I have a couple troubleshooting steps I would like you to try. I myself do not have a 64 bit Vista so I can not test this to confirm if the same issue occurs or not.
1. Attempt to Sync content using each of the USB Ports. See if all USB Ports pose the same issue with the video. Or if you found when where it does not occur.
2. Test on a new user on the Vista Machine. If possible take at least one or 2 movies and copy them onto a flash drive or something. And bring them into iTunes on a new user account. You may need to Authorize that user and De-authorize when your done. Does the same issue occur?
3. If you perform a reboot on the iPhone, Then Sync Data over. Does the same issue occur?
4. If possible could you restore the iPhone. Then Re-sync and see if same issue occurs.
5. Is this happening with all videos? or only certain ones? Does the corruption occur at the same time frame every time? If so is it the same time frame for all videos or slightly different?
6. Perform an Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes on your system, See if same issue occurs.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi I can't sync my ipod with new version of itunes after losing old pc

Hi my old pc crashed and burned taking with it my entire itunes library. thought i'd backed up onto external hard drive but can't find anything. Atleast i still have a full ipod. However i've downloaded itunes onto my new laptop and when i try to sync with my ipod to put those tunes into the libray it says 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erase this ipos and sync with this itunes library'. If i do that i have nothing left. How can i 'un sync' the old computer that is no longer in existence. Hope someone can help, would be a shame to lose everything! Thanks Mary

Apple Mobile Device Support is part of the itunes install package. To install it by itself would require downloading itunes to your desktop then using something like WinRar to extract it. Quite frankly, trying to go this route can create more problems than you have right now. Something in your system is preventing AMDS from being installed. Your USB drivers up to date? Install any webcams lately? When you try to reinstall itunes, are your firwalls. ant-virus, ant-malware disabled? If I were you, I'd look at this stuff first. If you want to try & install AMDS separately, I've told you how, but I don't recommend it.

HT5868 Unable to sync iPhone 5 with latest version of iTunes

Since updating to version 11.1.4 of iTunes, I am unable to sync my iPhone 5 with my PC. When connecting to the PC, I get a message asking whether I want to trust this computer. Since I've synced with it about a hundred times already, obviously I clicked on Trust.
After clicking on Trust, my PC is able to access the photos/etc on the phone - but iTunes will not sync. Further, it does not remember that I have selected to Trust the PC. (I also opted to Not Trust one time, and it didn't remember that either.)
My PC is running Windows 8, but it was perfectly happy to sync my iPhone 5 before this latest iTunes update, which seems to have broken something pretty fundamental. Apple, please issue a fix, or alternatively let me go back to 11.1.3 (which was working absolutely fine for me).

Did I suggest that you were Apple? Do you believe that every comment mentioning an Apple product is aimed at you personally? Or that, if someone sounds off in a moment of frustration, it is directed at you? Or that you need to point out interminably that Apple don't actually monitor these threads? Because, if you do... get help!
If you look at the thread you will see that someone else (you know, one of those pleasant people I mentioned?) *has* helped - and I'm genuinely grateful! Thank you!

Syncing iphone contacts with Gmail contacts through itunes

is there a way to sync my iphone contacts and calendar with Gmail contacts and calendar directly through itunes?
when i am on itunes and i open teh drop menu next to contacts, i only get teh option of windowns contacts or outlook. i saw in some blogs this same drop menu having google contacts as well.
i jsut have a gmail account. does it ieed a google plus account or something? why isn't it appearing in the itunes menu?
i have iphone 4 running ios 6.1.3 and the latest version of itunes.

hi ArtisticGeek
i am more concerned with syncing contacts and calendar (just the same way i sync them now with outlook)
i am refering to the attached picture and the dtop menu in it and wondering why i don't have the same.
reason being that i have a samsung tablet and an iphone and i just want to be able to have the same contact list and calendar notes on both and the only common platform to do that is Google contacts.

Cant sync new iPhone4S with current version of iTunes (10.6.3)

Trying to sync new Iphone4S with an older Mac (OS X 10.5.8) to pull music and photos from Mac. When i plug in IPhone to the Mac, it says I need to update to iTunes (currently version 10.6.3) 11.1 or higher, but my Mac cant update to iTunes 11. Any suggestions?

Your Mac is running an operating system version that is now four versions old. Leopard (OS X 10.5) was released in October, 2007.
At a minimum, you must purchase the next version (Snow Leopard, which came out in 2008) and update it to version 10.6.8 to install the current version of iTunes.
You can purchase it here:

IPHOTO 09 WONT SYNC SELECTED ALBUMS WITH IPHONE 4 VIA ITUNES

I am posting this as a question and will proceed to answer it as per the solution provided by Applecare case id
265819669
System
I run Powemac G5 OSX 10.5.8 Leopard, iLife 09 and iPhone 4 & iPad2
Software versions are iPhoto 09 V 8.1.2, iTunes and iOS 5.01 on theiPad and iPhone
Problem 1
Following software updates on all my devices I began to run into sync problems with my iphone 4, namely error message 1104
On contacting my mobile service provider they suggested:
connect iphone to itunes, selected photo tab and untick the box sync photos from iphoto then proceed to sync
Solution 1
This allowed iphone 4 to sync thus eliminating my 1104 error message problem
Problem 2
iPhone 4 will no longer sync selected albums, events and faces with iPhone 4
After level 3 escalation within Apple the problem was reffered to iphoto computer support who delievered this fix.
It was identified as a problem with my iphoto library not being seen by itunes despite my iphoto library functioning normally (or so I thought).
Solution 2 (I will try and articulate this as best as I can)
Open iPhoto app whilst alt key is depressed
select/ locate the iphoto library source file from your hard drive which itunes is using. This now tells you where iphoto library resides ie this is your library in which all your photos slideshows and star rating data resides.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIX IT WAS AGREED TO RESTORE AN EARLIER VERSION OF MY IPHOTO LIBRARY FROM A TIME MACHINE BACKUP - TIME MACHINE SAVED THE DAY HERE - TAKE HEED - BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP. BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER, I WOULD RECOMMEND BACKING UP AT THIS STAGE, JUST FOR SAFETY SAKE.
Go to Time machine, locate iPhoto library and then select restore.
The file will be restored to it's original location and you can now begin to work on the fix without jeopardising your original library
Close iphoto, and reset system
Open iPhoto with alt key depressed, select the recently restored file
Open itunes and try and sync your iOS device
Does the selected, albums and faces tabs in Photo tab now work? If so problem solved, if not read on.
Restart system
Open iPhoto with the alt and command key depressed
(You will be working on the restored file as iphoto located this automatically when opening - see previous note)
a list of boxes will appear detailing repair permission etc - ensure all are ticked and follow instruction to rebuild reorganise the iphoto library. Sorry for being vague here but I can't remember the screen details.
Let iphoto rebuild the iPhoto library file
close iPhoto and restart system
Try the sync process again in itunes. Does the Photo tab option whick allows you to select pictures, albums and faces should now work?
If so, problem solved, well almost. If not, refer for further help.
Given you have just cured the problem with a restored backup iPhoto library file, should you need to work on your most recent file since that back up, repeat solution 2 from the beggining. Once complete, you will need to move the iPhoto library file which didn't sync to the trash.
Should you have events in your originl iPhoto library which don't reside in your backup file, export these events into folders by using export "current" feature in iPhoto, then drage them bag into your new library once your problem is solved.
USE GREAT CAUTION HERE, DON'T DELTE YOUR TRASH UNTIL YOU HAVE TESTED EVERYTHING WORKS CORRECTLY.
I hope this helps someone, if so please let me know.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

Issues with syncing my Mac with my iPhone via iTunes Match

I have just signed up for iTunes Match. Most of my music was loaded onto my iPhone but when I turned on iTunes Match on my phone all the music was replaced but what was on my Mac, which was just a few albums. I need the mac to sync with the iPhone. All my previously own music is on my iPhone and I need to get it to the cloud so all my device sync to that library via iTunes Match. Help.
KB

iTunes Match scans, matches and uploads tracks only from an iTunes library. The service does not do this on iOS devices. Any tracks on your iPhone that were not in your iTunes library when you enabled iTunes Match were removed. If any of those tracks were only stored on your iPhone they are now gone. However most purchased tracks may be able to be re-downloaded from your purchase history in iTunes.
Check to see if iTunes in the Cloud (which is not the same thing as iTunes Match) is available in your country at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If the service is available in your country you can enable it in iTunes by opening iTunes Prefs > Store and selecting the option to "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases). You will now be able to download your iTunes Store purchases to your computer directly in iTunes. Any music ripped from CDs will have to be re-ripped.

HT1386 I am trying to sync my iphone with my laptop using itunes. Items that I enter on my laptop (Windows Outlook) show up on my iphone. But items that I enter on iphone do not show up in Outlook. How do I fix this?

I purchased an iphone 4 in July 2012. I set it up to synch with Windows Outlook on my 2009 HP laptop computer (Windows 7). This seemed to work fine.
A few weeks ago, I was notified that my itunes or iphone software needed updating. With my iphone plugged into my computer, I performed the update. When it was over, I had an error message on my iphone indicating that it needed to be reset. I did this and there was no information on my iphone. I then synched with the laptop and everything appeared to be restored.
HOWEVER, now when I synch, items that I enter on my laptop show up on my iphone BUT items that I enter on my iphone do NOT show up on my laptop. How do I fix this?

All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

Can i sync my iphone with more than one itunes library without erasing content?

So i just got a replacement iphone yesterday, and restored from a backup all my contacts and stuff.
I dont have my own laptop so when it comes to music i get all of my mine from other computers...this has never been a problem with my phone or ipods, but i guess it is now...when i click on manually manage it says:
"An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
so i cannot go to a second device and take songs from them without erasing the ones from the previous comp.
they used to be able to authorized on up to 5 comps right? is this a new strict setting, or is there a way around it??
thanks

No. An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
Basically you'd want to get the music to the library first, then sync it to the phone after you get it set up in your library. iTunes will not transfer songs off the phone that were not purchased through the iTunes store, so they need to be in your library beforehand. You might consult with the googles if there are other third party ways to do that.
The 5 compy authorization is for iTunes account authorization, which means transfering music bought through itunes, apps, etc.

I have been using iPod touch and iTunes with Windows XP - no problems. I now have a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to sync the iPod with Windows 7 and iTunes it will not transfer all my photographs. What can I do?

When I tried to sync my iPod Touch with my new computer none of the photographs were synced. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. When I did it the first time the photographs were all muddled up in their albums. When I tried to sync again the photographs were all removed. On the third try I received an error message something like 'Unable to sync photographs program cannot be found.' Can anyone help. (It may be to do with Windows 7 and Libraries??)

Can't Sync Ipad 2 with Computer b/c Itunes 11.1 installation fails

Hello! I have a question in regards to my ipad 2 and syncing it to my computer. I recently installed IOS 7 onto my Ipad 2, but when I went to sync it with my computer, Itunes gave me an error saying that I needed to download and install itunes 11.1 for compatibility reasons with IOS 7. So, I was able to successfully download the new versions of itunes directly from the itunes website, but the issue came when the installation process began. The installation ran and had finished in a short amount of time and then I received this message:
"Errors occured during the installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again. Click finish to exit the installer."
So I went ahead and downloaded the software multiple times (5 times) and attempted to install it multiple times and I constantly receive the same error that is displayed above. If anyone has any clue on how to fix this I'd GREATLY appreciate anyone's suggestions. I generally can fix these problems myself but this problem seems to be persistent and many other people are having similar issues.

I have to say this would only happen on a windows PC,   Why it doesn't prompt you to close all windows baffle me still!
The install gets hung up because of an open window.   You must close all windows before installation.
Open downloads and delete the downloads you did so far.
To get the install back on track:
Scary, but it will be the cleanest install. Uninstall iTunes using the control center. Directions can be found here:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5610253_uninstall-reinstall-itunes-windows.html
Note...you must close all windows during install.   After the download, open download window, close all other windows.
Click on install.
