How do i only sync checked music?

I am trying to sync only the music that I want on my phone instead of mine and my husbands music. Our music together is taking up too much space on my phone! Can someone please help me?!

To only sync checked songs, connect your device, go to the Summary tab, and check the "Sync only checked songs and videos" option (pictured below).
Note that to get only certain songs onto your device, checkboxes will do but are not really the best way.  When you get a few minutes, try the alternative known as "Sync Selected Playlists."

  • HT1296 i want to sync my itunes to a new iphone that has been restored from a backup on my old one, how di i only sync the music without erasing everything else like contacts and messages?

    i have just got a new iphone 4s, replacing the last one i had, and i have restored it from itunes with the data from my last iphone. i want to sync the music to this but it is already synced with the last computer i had, so how do i sync my iphone without erasing every bit of content from my iphone, such as the things that are important to me like the contacts and messages and photos?
    please help!
    Thank you!

    Only iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer is affected when transferring iTunes content and photos from a different computer. Contacts aren't touched unless you choose to sync contacts with a supported address book app. Messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process and the same for photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll.

  • How to only sync my music to my iPod touch 8GB?

    I have an 8GB iPod touch I got a few years that I want to wipe clean and only sync my music, not my apps and other stuff that's on my ioad. I need to do a software update, but have no room available on my iPod touch, and can't plug the ipad into the car because the cord we bought at the dealership made for the car is to short for the ipad. How can I only sync my music to my iPod touch.

    Set up iTunes to manually sync. See:

  • HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

  • How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook?

    How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook? It is currently retrieving all emails from the four accounts I am syncing to and filling up space on my macbook.  I can't work out how to set a limit.
    Any help appreciated!

    Imap is designed to synchronize your mail client with the mail server, this the normal result.
    Switch to POP access if you want it to work asynchronously

  • I've just bought a new laptop. It is only syncing purchased music

    I've just bought a new laptop. It is only syncing purchased music. I have loads of music on my iphone, what can I do to get it synced and saved onto my new laptop?

  • "Only sync checked items" grayed out

    I've updated iTunes to the newest version and my 5th gen. iPod to v1.2. I'm trying to get the box on the iPod summary page to become "checkable"... it's the "only sync checked items" box, and it's grayed out... without it, the way I manage my podcasts becomes entirely screwed up. Anybody?

    I've got the same problem. Two days and no reply yet? What's especially troubling is that syncing only checked items had been my preference under iTunes 6. ITunes 7 should have kept all the same preferences.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music.  Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated.  Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
    You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime.  This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well.  The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

  • HT1296 Can i sync my ip4s on to a new pc and not lose music that was not purchased but imported from cd or will it only sync purchased music?

    can i sync my iphone to a new pc without losing music that was not purchased but imported from cd? or will it only sync purchased music? thanks x

    If you're trying to sync your iphone to a different computer than the one that you used to import your CD's, you can't (anymore).  Now that Apple is selling iTunes Match ($25/yr) you can only access non-iTunes-purchased songs if they are either:
    A) on the exact computer that you used to import them into iTunes
    or
    B) are already synced to your iphone
    Now that iTunes Match exists, if you want to move non-iTunes-purchased music that you imported on one computer...to a different computer, you have to buy iTunes Match.  Awesome, huh?

  • "only sync checked items" option grayed out

    Note: This is the fifth frakin time I've tried to post this, but this forum site keeps crapping out on me. So, I apologize for any duplicates that might appear.
    Hey folks,
    I've successfully upgraded to iTunes v7, and while everything else appears to be working okay, I'm having trouble with the "only sync checked items" option. The option is grayed out and I can't enable it.
    My poor Mini just doesn't have enough space to hold my entire library, so I rely heavily on this option to move back and forth all the podcasts I want to listen to on a daily basis. While I can do all this by manually dragging files over, I'd rather use the built-in option that specifically meets this need.
    Here's a screenshot of my settings...

  • New computer only syncs itunes music from ipod but i have other songs not purchased from itunes that does not show up in new computer

    i used to have 900+ songs stored on my HP laptop, which i can no longer use and bought new toshiba laptop. when i tried to synce 900 songs from iPOD to the toshiba it only gave me 330 songs and not the entire library stored on the iPOD. have tried sync from iCLOUD as well as importing & exporting songs as shown in the drop down menu from iTUNES, but unable to do the sync process successfully!? do i have to manually reload every song i have already burned to CD onto new toshiba? am i or did i already do something wrong to prevent what should have been an easy sync?? am retired and techno-challenged. really need clear to follow instructions. any help will be more than greatly appreciated...

    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. To make the new computer the syncing computer:

  • New iPhone 5s only syncs cloud music

    I bought my wife a new iphone 5s to upgrade from her 4s.  The 4s was backed up to the iCloud and we restore it on to the new iPhone 5s - all seemed to work fine except when we attempt to sync the music on her laptop that was not purchased via iCloud, it refuses to sync.  IT looks like it is going to sync, but then completes with no error message.  What can we do to ensure her music collection on her laptop will sync to her new phone without losing any data?
    Thanks

    If you are using an LTE signal, the indicator bars will always have a different signal strength than 4G oe 3G.
    I would get five bars using T-Mobiles 4G on my iPhone 4S and I get 3-4 bars using LTE on T-Mobile. It's normal if this is what you are talking about.
