How to get the iPhone to remember the "manually manage" setting?

The first time I plugged in my iPhone, I set it to "manually manage" under options. I am attempting to sync my iPhone to the same computer each time, but each time I plug in my iPhone, it forgets the "manually manage" setting. If I go to click the manually manage setting again, it wants to "erase and sync". I have done the "erase and sync" on the phone twice now and don't want to do it again - it is laborious to set up the library and playlists and podcasts over and over again. When I plug it in, despite having set the manually manage last time I sync'd, it won't let me drag anything into the iPhone (the iPhone music and podcast libraries are greyed out, and the manually manage checkbox under options is not checked).
How can I make iTunes remember the "manually manage" setting so I don't have to resync the entire library each and every time?

Hi Elisabeth,
A couple of things you could try that might help out.
First try resetting the iphone by holding down the power button on top of the iphone and the home button at the same time until you see just an apple logo. Then try connecting to itunes and setting the manually manage.
If that does not work something might have become corrupted on the iphone and you can try a restore. This will completely erase the iphone and set it back to factory defaults. If you choose the restore option, after the restore you will see an option the restore from back up. Don't restore from back up, instead choose set up as new iphone. This way if any thing was corrupted previously to restoring the iphone you won't run the risk of putting it back on the iphone. Then you will se a page asking if you want to sync all music, video,... Make sure to uncheck this box since you are trying to set the iphone to manually manage.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

    Ask your carrier as it varies from country to country.  In the USA, I don't believe any carrier maintains blacklisted IMEI numbers.  All they will do is cancel the account associated with that number, but they won't track and/or block that number.

    You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

    how to get access to my iCloud back up when setting up a new iPhone 5s which needs the newest version of iOS7 first?

    Set up the new phone as a new iPhone (without using your backup), then update it to the latest iOS (7.1.2).  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  This process is explained in more detail here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • How can I get Disco Viewer to remember the user's final filtered worksheet?

    Hi every one:
    How can I get Disco Viewer to remember the user's final filtered worksheet?
    Each time the users login they have to make several operations (drillings, pivots, etc) to get their reports customized as they want. I wonder if is there a chance I could configure Disco Viewer in order to remember the last worksheet layout, and set it as the initial worksheet the next time the user login?
    Thanks in Advance
    Jorge

    Once your users have customised the report to their requirements, they can add the URL of final data diaplay screen to their favourites menu in the browser.
    Next time they want to run the same report, they can access the URL saved into favourites, they'll just need to enter their password to run the report when prompted.
    I know that this works with Oracle Applications user id's, and that the URL "remembers" User Name, Oracle Apps Responsibility, Workbook Name, and Paramteters Used, Table Layout Customisations, and Page Item selections... so in theory it should record Drill information too.

  • Hi. I'm trying to change my Apple ID. I know how to in iTunes under my account on my laptop but how do I get my iPhone to recognize the change? Thanks!

    Hi how can I get my iPhone to recognize the changing of my Apple ID in iTunes (my account) on my laptop?
    Thanks in advance for your input!

    It sounds like you created a new Apple ID rather than changing the email address of your current Apple ID. Apps are tied to the account that they were initially installed with. So the only solution is to delete the app and re-purchase it with the new Apple ID.

  • How can I get Lync 2013 to "remember" the size of my conversation window

    Each time I open a Lync conversation, the window size always reverts to a default that is too small.  With Lync 2010, a new conversation remembered the size of the window from a previous conversation.  How can I get Lync 2013 to remember the
    size from a previous conversation?  I have a multi-monitor setup and would also like for Lync to remember the location of the last conversation window.  Lync 2010 remembered both the size and location.  I have Lync 2013 and Windows 7.

    I believe what you're seeing is expected behaviour. The Lync 2013 client appears to remember the position of the conversation window relative to the Lync client itself. It seems like it is noting it's screen co-ordinates based on the clients location. This
    works fine for single monitor, but ultimately means that a conversation window cannot remember it' location if it is on a different screen to the Lync client itself.
    Regarding the window size - I believe this has come up before and is not something you can change either natively in Lync, or through registry manipulation.
    Kind regards
    Ben

  • How to get my iPhone to work in the UAE

    This is for anyone who knows about iPhones in the UAE
    I have an iPhone 3G which was purchased in the UK and i have an O2 contract
    I am going back to Abu Dhabi for holidays where the network is Etisalat. I have an old etisalat sim which which i used to use whilst i was living there.
    Now that iPhone is officially released on etisalat in the UAE, technically if i put my Etisalat sim card into my iPhone 3G i should be able to use my iphone in abu dhabi, however it just comes up with no service.
    is there a way to fix this?

    You can not. The iPhone sold in the UK is SIM locked to the O2 network and can not be used with any other networks SIM card, even in countries where the iPhone has been released.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
