How do you automatically sync music, but manually manage films?
I would like my music to sync automatically, but I want to manually manage my films/video. I tried setting the Summary screen on my iPod to "Manually manage music and videos" and then ticking "Sync Music" on the Music tab, but when I tick "Sync Music" on the Music tab, it unticks "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. Also tried leaving "Manually manage music and videos" unticked, and also unticking "Sync Films", but then I am unable to drag and drop videos on to my iPod.
Please help.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, I guess I didn't fully understand your sync/delete method for videos. I'm not sure I know of a way to work around this dilemma short of manually updating your iPod.
If you have to resort to manually managing your files, you could resort to the "playlist" update option:
Try creating playlist(s) and syncing only those playlists.
Select the iPod in iTunes. Click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and Selected playlists.
Tick the playlists you want on the iPod.
Then just Add/Delete from those playlists and plug in the iPod.
When you add a video and delete it from your library things won't get erased this way.

Thank you.Apps in iTunes seem to want to do their own thing. Under "apps" and in the "apps" list, click "install" or "remove" next to the apps to do just that.

How can I Automatically Sync Music by Album
I'm trying to figure out how I can automatically sync my music by album. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to listen to whole albums instead of individual tracks. I've got about 30 gigs of music in my iTunes Library, but only 7 gigs of space on my iPhone. What I want to do is have iTunes put a certain number of complete albums on my iPhone automatically. It could be defined by space (gigs), number of albums, time, whatever. But I want all the tracks from that album, not one or two. And I want iTunes to randomly update or refresh the list of albums when it syncs to my iPhone. I know I could do this manually through a playlist, but I don't have the time to do this on a regular basis. Is there any way to set up a smart playlist to do this for me? Any other solutions?
As a smartplaylist would be about the only way that it may be possible, I think you would have better responses over in the iTunes discussion group than here.

Will my music disappear if I change the setting from sync music to manually manage music?
I have synced my iPod some time ago and wish to change the setting to "manually manage music". When you do this, you have to chose "Revert" or "Apply". If I select "Apply" will the existing music on my iPod disappear? I don't want to lose my music, but do wish to add some new files.
I really do not want to sync my iPod anymore.No,

Ios7 incorrectly syncs music when "Manually manage music and videos" checked
iPhone 5 with ios7.0.2
Mac 10.6.8 with iTunes 11.1.1
Since installing ios7 iTunes syncs music even though I always have the "Manually manage music and videos" checkbox checked. Since I don't want to keep the same music on my Mac that I have on my phone, this results in the music on the phone being deleted when I manually drag new music onto it in iTunes. This happened with the previous version of iTunes, before updating to 11.1.1, and still happens with 11.1.1.
Other iPhone settings:
Music: everything off / disabled
iTunes & App Store: everything off / disabled
iTunes settings:
Summary tab: only "Manually manage music and videos" checked
Music tab: nothing checked or selected
Any ideas?
Thanks,
MikeThen you are the only person I know that can do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. It is restricted by design to one library.

How do I automatically sync a "private" podcast where I have to manually input the username and password? It syncs in my iTunes but gives me an error on my iPod?
Is this an iLife installation disk or system install disk? In either case download the demo version of Pacifist and open the install package on the disk. Locate iPhoto and use Pacifist to install iPhoto. Then you'll need to apply the latest updater from the Apple Downloads webpage:
Apple - Support - Downloads. Just search for the iPhoto version you installed to get the updaters for that version.

I have purchased an new PC since my oriiginal PC crashed after 5 years of use. I want to transfer my iTunes files from my iPAD and iPOD to my new PC.
How do you transfer files (Music/books/pictures) from an iPAD or iPOD device to an new PC that has iTunes, but no data of filesThe text below is copied from this discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
Authorize your new computer's iTunes first - Store>Authorize this computer.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
This discussion has much of the same information and even some more helpful tips.

my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.
Sorted it out. If anyone has this problem i reccommend visiting http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-classic-ipod-5g-video/237546-ipod-classic-80gb-fr eezes-itunes-need-restore-plz-help-2.html#post1403546 there's some pretty good advice on it. have to go into control panel and re-format iPod into NTFS file. good luck.

How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?
How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?
Are you syncing to a different computer? Iphone will sycn with only one at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync. What do you care if it erases? You will be syncing what you want to the iphone. -

Hi, HOW DO YOU PUT ALL MUSIC FROM IPOD BACK ONTO A PREVIOUSLY CRASHED COMPUTER IN WHIHC ALL MUSIC FILES WERE UNABLE TO BE RESTORED.
My computer crashed a few months ago and my IT guys were not able to restore my music files.. at least I can't find them. When I log into Itunes, all of my music and play lists appear but when I click to play a song in Itunes on computer, it says the files can not be found. My Ipod obviously has all of my music but I'd like to add more (without deleting what I've got on there) and to copy back whats on my Ipod back to my computer. If I plug together and my computer sync then I will loose all music... needing detailed instructions please.from what i understand, the procecess is similar on both mac and pc, so i'll try help you here. have you set your preferences to "automatically update all"?
Yes i have.
if this isn't working, maybe try moving one that you are certain is in the correct format, manually. import it from scratch to your itunes, and then copy it to the ipod.
If i click 'import files' the only files it comes up with are text file. Should it be doing this?' So the only files i can import are written documents :/
If i select 'add files' it dosnt add them to my libary at all.
I tryed what you said, i deleted my movies then loaded one into my libary which i no is in the right format but it still said that it is unable to put into my ipod.
Thanks for trying to help by the way :] -
Can I sync music and manually add movies?
This is harder than it seems. I want to sync my ipod to my music library, but still be able to add movies manually just like I can sync photos but manually add movies and music. I think I have the set up right because I got it to the point that I can drag a file into my ipod movies section and it copies onto it, but it is grayed out, so when my ipod updates like when i reconnect it, the movies are removed from my ipod. I just want to be able to add my videos to my ipod so i can get the off my computers hard drive and I still want to sync music. Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Windows XPWelcome to Apple Discussions!
I see what you are saying, but as of now, it looks like you can only manually manage everything or automatically update everything. You can't mix and match.
I'd tell Apple you'd like this feature...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
There is a workaround though. Try it with a with a video you can easily replace though. (And know it is always good to have a backup of the videos only on your iPod as wiping your iPod is a common troubleshooting step should anything go wrong).
Put the video onto the iPod. Once it is, disconnect your iPod and make sure it works.
Now go into iTunes and right click the video you just transfered and go to show file. Drag that file to the Recycle Bin. Now try to play the video in iTunes. An ! should appear next to it. That's okay. Now update your iPod. The video should stay on the iPod even though it is not on your computer (as long as the name remains in iTunes).
If this works as advertised (;D), you can go ahead and do this. A couple of reminders though...
1) Make sure the videos are on the iPod first and work on the iPod before you delete any files.
2) Make sure you have backup up any videos you can't replace in case something happens to your iPod.

HT4623 How do you get your music back on your phone?
The update did not let me back up my iPhone. It just took over and showed I had to restore my iPhone.
Now I do not have any music and it did not restore all my contacts.
How can I get all contacts on my iPad to go to my iPhone?
Which my iPad kept everything when it updated.
HelpDo you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences or do you have manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Regarding the downloads that haven't been completed, with iTunes on your computer go to Store and select Check for Available Downloads to complete the downloads with iTunes on your computer. -
I reset my computer and ipod and it says that my ipod is syncing music but when I look on my ipod touch there is no music there. How can i fix it? I have backed up and restored my ipod touch 4th gen several times.
This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

How do you delete old music that it don't want anymore for the iOS 7 update. It gave me all the music I deleted in the past. I tried going to settings and turning off music from the past and it got rid of my music I recently purchased.
Hello there, Syd_ma22.
The answer to how to delete a song on your phone in iOS7 is found on page 62 of the iPhone User's Manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Specifically:
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
