HT1351 Why do my custom playlists created in my iPod disappear when I sync? They used to sync when they were called on-the-go.

Custom playlists created in the iPod used to be called 'on-the-go' and would sync to your PC. Each time you created a new one it would be called on-the-go1, on-the-go2, etc. Sometime ago there was a software update that allowed you to name them in the iPod, only now they don't sync to the PC. They simply disappear. It's as if there is only a one-way sync, from the PC to the iPod because if I create one on in the PC, it will sync to the iPod. Is there a setting that will allow 2-way syncing? I can't find one. This used to work.

What version of iOS are you running on your iPod Touch currently? I assume you have your iPod set up to automatically sync with your iTunes library?

I bought a new laptop and can access my itunes library but when i try to add purchased playlist songs to my ipod message appears asking if I'm ok with erasing all other songs on the ipod. Help needed.

wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder. Why?

When moving a file using drag and drop, as I hover over the destination folder it no longer opens, so I can't drop the file into the folder. Why? I have a heirarchical embedded folder structure under \Documents. Usually, as I drag the file to be moved over the various folders, they will blink twice, then expand/open to reveal contents (in Finder). Now, when the file to be moved is held (hovering) over the destination folder, it will not blink or expand, so there's no place to drop the file. If I release the mouse button, the file image disappears, showing that it is "going back to the place it came from", a.k.a. was not moved. This just started happening. I noticed it after upgrading to Mavericks. Is this a bug or could anything else be causing this?

As of today, Apple Support discovered during a remote support session with me that the same thing happens on their own system. It is isolated to "Column View"; the Icon and List views in Finder behave correctly. Issue is being escalated to engineering, and Apple will call to report status in a couple days. In all likelihood, this is a bug that will need to be addressed in a future update.

Hi Ranendra,
For basic understanding of Dashboards and Models you can use standard Templates or samples which ll come along with dashboard designer(Formly Xcelsius) installation.
For path File-->Templates(or Samples).
Under Templates you ll have different categories and for each you ll find the dashboard Templates.

I created a sync account with no problem, but then when I try to use it, it keeps telling me I have the wrong password or user name, even after I changed the password. It did this after I created a new account, too.

Every time I try to use my sync account, it informs me that "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Incorrect account name or password. Please try again." I tried changing my password. I even made a new account. It still does the same thing.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can the sync server use for sync the custom database?

Hi,
I review some document from OCS. Sync server (mobile data sync) will connect to the calendar server to sync data. Anyway, if I would like to sync custom data, not with calendar server, is it possible? If so, how? (Can I connect mobile data sync server to the oracle database directly without calendar server?)
Further question, if the database contain binary large object (files), can I sync just only attribute of the file (for example if the name of the file is changed.)
Thanks,
Byrd

Sorry. No this is not something that is supported.

Why is a Smart Playlist created on my iMac missing from my Macbook?

It was created requiring a keyword in Comments, a five-star rating and excluding one genre. But the Smart List is not listed on the Macbook, which lists all other Smart Lists I created over time. Doesn't appear where I could include it on my iPhone 5 either. Any ideas?
I use Mavericks on both and iCloud.
Thanks a lot,
Raphael

If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

Why won't my Playlist load onto my iPod Nano

Hi, I have been given a 1GB iPod nano as a present but being computer iliterate cannot figure out how to put music from iTunes on the iPod. I have, using CD's & some songs from iTunes Stores built a playlist of my favourite tracks. However, although my list has 95 songs on it, it will only load 22 of these onto my iPod. What am I doing wrong !! I am using iTunes 7.02 so have the most up-to-date software but don't know why I can't get the rest of my songs onto the iPod. If someone can tell me in english how to do this, I would be most grateful ! I have also tried deleting the songs from the iPod and starting again but iTunes won't allow me to delete these either! Thanks

Hi, thanks for you reply. I thyink I have included the info you wanted!
In iTunes under the import tab, it says:
On CD Insert: Ask to import CD
Import Using: AAC Encode
Setting: High Quality (128kbs)
Details: 64 kbps (mono)/128 kbps (stereo)
underneath this, the 1st 3 boxs are ticked.
When I right-click on some of the songs in itunes here is the response:
1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod (orignally on my old MP3 player):
Size 2.2MB / Format MPEG-1 , Layer 3
1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod from a CD:
Size 3.1MB / Kind AAC Audio File
I purchased 2 songs from iTunes - neither of which went onto my iPod, Here is the info for 1 of these:
Size 3.5MB / Kind Protected AAC audio file
1 of the songs that did not load onto my ipod from a CD:
Size 4.5MB / Kind AAC audio file (I copied 3 songs from this particular album and 1 went onto my iPod but this one and another did not.)
I never had this problem with my old MP3 Player. I presume there is a way around this with iTunes ?? Otherwise, will be reverting back to my old MP3 !

HT1923 Why won't my playlist synch to my ipod classic as I have it listed?

I have been synching playlist to my ipod classic with no prob. Today it will not synch the songs as I have them listed.? Also I can not change the order of the songs. What is the problem

Sorry this might be too late of a fix for you but I had a similar issue. I created a new playlist that wouldn't sync to my iphone no matter what I tried (reset my phone, restarted itunes). I even created a new playlist and deleted the original new playlist but still it wouldn't sync.
What finally worked for me was in itunes when it says to sync all songs or selected playlists (I usually have selected playlists checked). I uncheched everything and synced to my phone so it wiped off all the music. Then I checked the music box again and re-synced and then all my playlists - including the new one that wouldn't originally sync - were all on my iphone.

ITunes resets playlist created on iPhone/iPod while syncing

If I create a new playlist on iPhone, it imports fine to iTunes during sync.
If I then modify it or any other existing playlist on iPhone, after sync all modifications (additons/deletions/reordering) are lost — iTunes forces its version of the playlist no matter what's latest.
All software at latest versions

I too have this problem. Very annoying. I create playlists on the go and when I sync to iTunes it replaces them with the ones created on my iMac.......

Why does ff 4.0 beta come up with firefox updated scren everytime I use firefox? Shouldn't it bring up the homepage?

Everytime I open ff 4.0 beta. the first tab comes up with the firefox updated web page. the second tab is the home page. I am wondering why ff 4.0 beta has to bring up thr ff updated web page in the first tab everytime I start ff.

Make sure that you do not use that profile with other Firefox versions like 3.6.13
See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

Playlists not copying to ipod?

okay. so i had a bunch of playlists i created on my ipod for the longest time.
and just recently, after adding some more music onto my ipod, a memo came up saying it could no longer sync playlists to my ipod, due to the large amount of music etc. on itunes/my ipod.
i tryed a few things [deleting some older music, restoring the entire ipod, deleting a few playlists..] nothing worked.
itunes created one playlist..called Seasons Ipod Selection..and in that playlist is approx. 820 of my 890 songs.
so now, the only songs that copy over to my ipod are the ones that are in that playlist.
theres an extra 70 songs on itunes, that will not copy to my ipod unless i manually put them into that playlist.
is there some sort of option or something that allows me to get my playlists back on my ipod?
help?

Are you using the autosync function? If so, check and make sure that the one playlist that keeps syncing isn't the only one that is set to sync. Look at the music tab (on the iPod name section that includes the summary page) to check this. If that is the only playlist showing a check mark to be synced then that is why it is happening. If that is the case you can set it to sync playlists (specific ones if that's what you want or just autosync playlists without choosing specifics). You can also choose to manually manage your iPod so that you can manually add the playlists that you want.

How do I stop iPod on my iPad 2 from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop until it's told to play the next song. In iTunes I can uncheck the checkmarks next to songs, but I can't see where to do that on the iPad 2.
