Help with Syncing to Itunes

I have recently purchased a 32gb 3gs iphone and am still trying to figure it out. I have created an itunes account but the itunes is being used with two other devices (1x iphone and 1x ipod touch) I want to be able to sync my music and apps with it without all the other applications and songs of the other two devices. How do i go about doing this??

There is no device limit for the number of iPods and/or iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer, and each device can have its own sync preferences.
For music, I create iTunes playlists for select music in my iTunes library, which I would do regardless if I had an iPod or iPhone. You can create a single iTunes playlist for the music you want transferred to your iPhone, and another playlist for the music you want transferred to your iPod Touch, or create multiple playlists for select music.
Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, choose select playlists, artists, and genres. In the window below select the playlist or playlists that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync. You can also choose a particular artist or multiple artists for all the music available in your iTunes library with the selected artist to be transferred to your iPhone. Under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences, choose the applications you want installed on your iPhone.
Do the same under the various tabs for your iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Need help with syncing from ITunes to IPOD

    Hi. I'm relatively new to ipods but I just got an IPOD mini. Since it only has so much memory(about 4g) I want to sync specific songs, not have Itunes do it automatically. When I clicked on the "manually manage music" I can see it works but only to a certain extent. You have to drag EVERY SINGLE SONG to IPOD in Itunes INDIVIDUALLY!! I cant do that everytime I wanna switch up my IPOD library. I also clicked "only sync clicked items" hoping that in my normal music library, if I click the box to the left of each song that I want to be synced and uncheck the songs I dont want sync'd that would work. Will it? Because that's all I want to do, just sync particular songs without having to drag 1000 songs. Clicking would be so much easier.

    Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    A better option to use when your iPod is smaller than the iTunes library is 'Sync Music - Selected playlists'.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano or Mini). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

  • I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

    Title is pretty self explanatory: Who can I call about getting help with redeeming my iTunes card?

    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support, you can contact them via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Help with syncing iTunes

    I have two computers with two different iTunes libraries. On computer 1 I pay to put my music in the cloud, as with computer 2 I don’t. I want all of my music from computer 1 to be in computer 2 WITHOUT everything from computer 2 going to computer 1.
    So basically I want everything from the cloud on my other library to be on another library without them syncing.

    Hi twest17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is not showing up in iTunes in Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • IPad 2 help with iMovie and iTunes

    Hello all and thank you for reading.  I'm not a stranger to apple products, owing most of the iPhone's and apple tv since their debut some years ago.  Recently I bought the ipad 2 and it has been one issue after another.  I'll start with the main issue.  Upon buying my iPad 2, like others I did a sync with iTunes to add content to my iPad.  Through the sync process iTunes would crash every time during the syncing of photos portion.  After awhile I discovered the issue.  When iTunes tried to sync video made with my iPhone 4 into photos on the iPad 2 it would crash.  The iphone keeps video it records in the photo section automatically as it doesn't have a video section like the ipad 2.  Once I reorganized all pictures in to separate folders and playing process of elimination I discovered this issue.  With the video recorded with the iPhone 4 removed from the picture folder in iTunes the sync went through with no issue.  Next, when I organized the videos taken out of photos and added them to iTunes they where put into the movies section.  Not an issue for me.  So I now have the videos and pictures I want on my iPad.  Recently on a trip to Disney I recorded several videos and wanted to edit them using iMovie on my iPad. I took the videos from the iPhone 4, placed them in the video folder I created on my laptop separate from the pictures and then added the videos to iTunes.  They were placed under video on my iPad 2 just like it has been.  Next I bought iMovie and planned to go to work editing.  I was wrong, IMovie will not find the videos on my iPad. The videos are indeed on the iPad as I've watched them all but when adding a project to iMovie the video tab remains empty.  I've tried everything to get iMovie to see the videos and nothing works.  I feel like I waisted 5.00 for the app since it can't even recognize movies made with my iPhone 4.  If anyone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong and help me to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    Check out this video (not mine) that explains how to convert the video files and how to copy them to iPad 2 so that iMovie can find them.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gYxxMO9ylk
    I'm having another problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1, it crashes when copying video files. If you're using a PC for iTunes, DO NOT UPGRADE iTUNES until this is fixed. Unfortunately I upgraded in the middle of a project that I now I'm stuck. My iPad 2 and iMovie app might as well be a brick. Way to go, Apple!

    I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
    I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
    I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
    I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
    For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

  • Touch problems with syncing on itunes

    My brand NEW Ipod Touch is not synching properly with my existing iTunes media, (Movies and Music). It is not syncing "automatically" even though it says it has. There's data on the hard drive but my songs and movies are not appearing on the ipod Touch itself. When I upload music & videos manually, they appear and are able to play, but I don't want to have to do all this manually! Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I would recommend that you use the search function on the right and search the iPod Touch forum for "13019" since other have experienced the same error.

  • Help with syncing my iCloud calendars

    I have never had a problem with syncing my calendars on iCloud with my laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad. Recently I have had trouble with things I was putting on my iPhone were not syncing to my iPad. I read through a lot of the tips on here and have tried almost everything. I have removed the calendars and then set up my iCloud account again. I have refreshed numerous times. Nothing seems to work.
    Last night I took all of the iCloud accounts off all devices. I mades sure that when I accessed iCloud via the internet that all my calendars were correct. They were.
    This morning I added the iCloud acccount back to my iPhone and my iPad. All off the calendars from iCloud synced to these devices minus my personal calendar that is on iCloud. It is just one of the names that I have given my color coded calendar. Nothing is different with this calendar than with the other five color coded calendars that I have.
    Does anyone have an idea why this one will not sync? Or suggestions on what I might do or try.
    Thank you!

    I have the same problem, I tried the solution of Dr Cox but that didn't work as he said go to system preference then mail, contacts etc. but I don't have that.  Can someone help?

  • Help with syncing photos please

    Ok, so iam having problems with syncing a folder from my computer to my iphone. Once done syncing the photos it makes 2 albums on my iphone, one with the name of my folder and one with the name "Photo Library" they both have the same photos on them, how do I get the unwanted one off?

    This is normal and cannot be changed.
    All photos transferred to the iPhone are stored and will be available in the iPhone's Photo Library.
    If you transfer 3 folder names or albums that contain photos say 10 photos each, it will be as follows:
    Photo Library (30)
    Photo Album 1 (10)
    Photo Album 2 (10)
    Photo Album 3 (10)
    With the Photo Album names to be whatever you name the folders which contain the photos transferred to your iPhone.
    This way you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting the iPhone's Photo Library or view the photos available in a particular folder or album only by selecting the album.
    Photos in the folders or albums are not duplicated. They include a pointer to the original photo contained in the iPhone's Photo Library.

  • Help with syncing and turning on iCloud

    I'm having issues with syncing, once the process has finished an error -34 comes up and says it was interrupted and would I like to restore backup. Yet the iPad tells me back up restore was completed. What is wrong? Next is iCloud. I have the original iPad and I'm being prompted to turn on iCloud. How do I do this when the icon on my iPad isn't allowing me to even click on it.

    I don't know about your Syncing, but here's a link on how to set up iCloud:

  • Pse help with syncing and nonpurchased music from itunes to iphone using icloud

    Pse excuse myself for being such a noob. I am trying to sync music from which i have ripped from cd's to itunes using icloud. When i go into the purchased section there is no music to sync obviously as i havent purchased any music only ripped cd's. I beleive that this is where the music has to go to in terms of syncing to iphone. Is this correct or am i way off pse help guys.

    it says that I gotta reset my iPhone to Factory Settings. Which means I will lose all my apps, contacts and stuff.
    Why would you lose anything? Your contacts will be in whatever desktop program you have chosen to sync your contacts with, your Apps should be in your iTunes Library, and everything else should be on your computer too (assuming you've been syncing/backing up as designed).
    Are you trying to sync music from a different computer than you normally use?
