How do I set iTunes to sync just podcasts and not erase music

How do I set up iTune to sync just my podcast and videos without syncing my music which I have found erases all the MP3s that I have saved?
Thanks

I am guessing you are set for manaul syncing, not auto-sync.
Make a playlist with the podcasts/videos you want, select the whole thing, and drag it into the iPod area after you connect it. This is one of the drawbacks of using manual sync - you have to do it manually.

  • How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null

    Folks,
    I have created a report in WebI and now I am to set up some filters as Null and some Not Null.
    How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null?
    Regards,
    Bashir Awan

    Hi,
    As you said you could do it at the report level and also at the universe level.
    One more way is to create the filters in the universe levele and add them in thequery filter.
    Ex: in the filter you need to write :
    Column1 is null and and column 2 is not null etc.
    Hope this will help.
    If this did't  solve your problem then please explain it in detail.

  • I synced. All my music disappeared. Now it will only sync my apps and not my music. Is something wrong with the port on my ipod, the USB cord, or Itunes?On Itunes it says I still have all my music. :(

    I synced my ipod to my computer and all my music disappeared. I tryed resyncing it and it would only sync my apps and not my music. I cant add music to my ipod. I something wrong with the USB port in the IPOD, the USB Cord, or ITUNES itself. Itunes still shows that all my music is there on my ipod. Itunes is recognizing that my ipod is connected, but it doesnt recognize that theres no music on my ipod anymore. Im so sad. Someone please help me. I miss my music.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    As the music came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there and in your backup copy of your computer.

  • The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos

    The itunes on My new iPad keeps going to podcasts and Not to music or videos?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • How can I set iTunes to prevent selected podcasts from being copied to iPod

    Hi,
    I have searched and could not find the answer to this problem.
    Anyway, I have a 5th gen iPod and am running it on a Mac with the latest iTunes. On the iPod options pane, I have selected to update only the selected Podcasts. I am leaving the podcasts that I do not want on my iPod (but want to keep on my Mac) unselected.
    Now although it is true that the unselcted Podcasts to not appear in the Podcast section of my iPod, the files are still there and can be found by artist, album, etc.
    How can I get around this? Basically, I have a few gigs of Video Podcasts that I do not want to carry on the iPod but do want o keep on my Mac in iTunes.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Bruno

    This was a change in iTunes beginning with iTunes 6. In 5, podcasts were their own category. In 6, you can actually see podcasts in the regular library so they are likely being copied over by some other playlist. You have a few options for handling this.
    • Set the iPod only to copy checked items & uncheck the undesired podcasts.
    • Sync only selected playlists & make sure each smart playlist has is Podcast set to false.
    The first option gives you more control over the specific ones you don't want to include while the second applies to all podcasts, not just video.
    Also under 6.0.3 there is an iPod Preferences button in the Podcasts section of Preferences. You might be able to limit them there. I'm at work, so I don't have my iPod hooked up to this machine to verify that functionality now.

  • HT1386 I don't have a computer. How can I set iTunes to sync with wi-fi?

    I have an iPhone & iPad and don't have a computer how can I sync iTunes ?

    You cannot sync the two devices over WiFi at all. You can turn on automatic downloads on both devices in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Automatic Downloads>Apps>On, whatever you download on one device will download to other device as well.

  • How do i set up calendar sync between iphone and iMac?

    My iphone syncs nicely between my ipad and imac, but my wife's does not and, far as I can tell, they're set up the same way.  What are the basic steps so I can get her wet up - WITHOUT losing her current iphone calendar data?

    Have them copy their contact to Exchange/Office365 contact. All contact at once place. Once you have all contact copied or imported to Office 365 they will be synced to Andorid or another mobile device. You can use Ms Outlook to drag and Drop the contacts.

  • How can I set which projects use Proxy Media and not just change every project?

    Hi there
    I can see how to change ALL projects to use Proxy Media or Original/Optimised Media
    in
    Preferences>Playback
    But I'm switching between projects a lot and I only want to use Proxy Media on one project, so how can I tell FCPX to only use Proxy Media on that ONE project?
    Thanks

    Perhaps if apple didn't take back prores LT this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
    Pores LT was a great compromise between file size and quality. It produced a fine image for most peoples needs and was 30% smaller.
    Hopefully it will be returned soon. I can't imagine why it's not already there. Unless they want to charge for it, ... again..
    Have you tried capturing as full res, then change prefs back to proxy, open a new project and import the full res files?
    In FCP7 the render pref was separate from the capture pref. is that gone too?
    If my idea doesn't work, Surely someone will chime in with a creative work around to this.
    And hopefully it'll get fixed soon in an update.
    Best,

  • How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account?

    How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter's MacBook, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account? (We currently share the same Apple ID and iTunes account). Hope someone can help... Thanks

    Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
    As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID.  Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -  In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
    So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account?  It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts.  If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.
