HT1386 How can I sync only selected playlists from my library in iTunes to iPhone?

Option to sync only selected playlists is grayed out in iTunes for my iPhone. How can I make it so I don't have to sync my entire library?

know this might sound silly
but make sure that
1) sync music is checked
2) you have playlist with songs in them
3) your songs have some sort of sorting form on them (artist, genre, album, etc.)
also try
rebooting pc and device and reconnecting
if all else fails, redownload itunes

  • HT1386 how can i sync only my contacts thru my computer but everything else with icloud

    I have XP, how can I sync only my contacts thru my computer (with Itunes) but keep everything on Icloud backup?

    1st make sure that iTunes will not sync iPhone automatically
    on iTunes go to Edit>preferences> Devices > check "prevent iDevice from syncing automatically"
    >connect iPhone to PC
    > on iTunes click your iPhone's name
    > then untick everything you don't want to be synced line music,movies,apps,calendars, mails
    leave 'sync contacts' ticked
    then you should be fine

  • I have added music from my CD library to iTunes but now my iPod will not sync.  Message says not enough free space.  How can I sync only a portion of my library to my 8Gb Nano?

    I have added music from my CD library to iTunes on my PC.  I now have too many songs in my iTunes and I have insufficient space in my 8 Gb Nano.  I am unable to sync my iPod now.  How can I get my iPod to sync?  I only want a portion of my songs on the Nano.

    Hi wisemra,
    First, make sure your iTunes does not attempt to sync automatically. Open iTunes, and select Preferences under the iTunes menu item:
    Then, once you have hooked up your device and selected it, you should see the device Profile pages to the right. Select the Music tab:
    Once you get to the Music detail screen, you will see the option to "Sync Music". You can then select "Sync Entire Music Library" or you can select "Sync Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genres". Click on the second one. Then, below, you can select which of your music from the library you want on your device:
    Your will show a list of your music. Mine doesn't because I sync with an iTunes library on different computer, but once you have selected the options I have shown you, you will see the music listed. Just pick what you want on your device and then click "Sync" at the bottom.
    Cheers,

  • Can I sync only a book from a newly downloaded itunes to my ipad without erasing all the other music etc since it's synced to another computer?

    I'm traveling and in an area that does not have wifi.  However I do have LAN access.  So I put a new copy of itunes on my laptop and downloaded a book I want to put on my ipad.  How do I get the book from this new itunes to my ipad?  Can I sync just the book without erasing everything else since I'm synced to my main computer which I do not have any access to?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi again.  Chris is talking about an Adhoc network.  Make sure your PC wifi is enabled, then clck start and browse to control Panel.  Open your Network Connections folder (name may be different depending on windows version).
    You need to create a new wireless network called an Adhoc network.  Note on most windows setups, it will not accept a WPA2 type password (bug I think).  Try one first and if it fails, try with the WEP password.  Take note of the prompt on type of input for the password and remember certain multi digit and numerals used consecutively will be rejected by the ipad.
    When the wizard finishes. Close Network folder and click on your network icon in the system tray on your task bar. Click Connect to a network - then select your new Adhoc network and click connect.  It will then start to advertise itself.
    Go to your ipad Settings\Wifi and tap on Other.  Enter your Network name in the top, then tap on tab belwo and set the password strength - WPA2 WEP etc. Go back a page and enter your password then Click Join.  If the password is accepted it will join.  If not go back to Network Settings and delete the previous Adhoc network (Dont try and reuse it)  Create another one with a different name and try a different password srength.
    If it does not work with a WEP - it could be a required Service is not running on your PC
    Go to your Start button, and in the search area that appears type in Services - then hit enter. he Search explorer window should open with Services shortcutin Administrative Tools folder showing.  Double Click it.
    The following Services should be as follows
    Workstation - Automatic, running
    WLAN Autoconfig - Automatic, running
    Telephony - Manual, started
    TCPIP Netbios Helper - Automatic, started
    SSDP Discovery (required to advertise your network presence) Manual, started
    Server - Automatic Delayed Start, started
    Security Centre - Automatic Delayed Start, started
    Secure Sockets Tunnelling Protocol Service - Manual, started
    Remote Access Connection Manager - Manual, started
    ditto Auto connection Manager - Manual - stopped (runs when required)
    Network List Service - Automatic, started
    Network Connections - Manual, started
    Function Discovery Resource Publication (required for some local sharing by some windows programs even when not connected to a work network - Automatic, started
    Function Discovery Provider Host - Manual, Started
    Extensible Authentication Protocol - Manual. started
    DNS Client - Automatic, started
    Base Filtering Engine - Automatic, started
    Background Intelligent Transfer Service - Automatic delayed start, started
    Application Experience - Automatic, started
    Whilst at it, check Apple Application Management, Bonjour, and ipod services are all automatic and started when checking your services settings.
    A full listing of default services can be found At Black Viper - use the NormalDefault settings for your system.
    N.B.  You may need to be in Admin user account if you need to alter the property sheets of any of these services - particularly the Apple three.
    Also note that some sytems do require the UPnP Device Host to be Automatic, started; to accept third party vendor equipment connections. I have a vaio and when I have set mine to manual, I have had some problems in the past.
    If you have Antivirus and/or windows firewall or a third party firewall enabled, when the connection goes live you will be asked to define its type.  Choose Local or Trusted.
    Lastly, when you disconnect from your Adhoc network, it can sometimes stop the associated service (found only in the registry) - you may need to log off and back on again to reconnect.
    hope this helps, best regards, Ct
    P.S

  • How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

    Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated.  But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library.  How can I delete the old file?  So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there.  Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
    if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
    If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

  • How do you sync only selected projects from Aperature 3 to iPad?

    My Aperature projects show only one or two or maybe zero pics in the projects.  I could probably sync the whole ApLibrary, but I don't think iPad will hold all 17,000 pics.  Masters are almost all raw (.cr2) files.  I can export the versions to a file and then upload the file ot iPad using camera connection kit, but then all photos are in one file and harder to locate.
    Any advice?

    Same way you did with the previous versions of iTunes.
    To view the iPod in iTunes, Ctrl S to show the sidebar.
    Create a playlist, add songs and sync that playlist.
    Or drag songs to the iPod in iTunes.

  • How can I see ONLY dead files in my library (newest Itunes update)

    I want to find all of my dead files in one place so I can either delete or find them. I keep seeing ways to use smart playlist to find dead files, but when I try to do that, the Smart Playlist options won't let me. I can only assume it's because there has been at least one update since those answers were posted. Can someone help me out? I have a lot of files to go through.

    This technique should help you identify which entries need to be removed or repaired.
    Lost & Found Playlists
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Or try iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

  • How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?

    I sync various Aperture photo albums to my IPad and iPhone. The problem is that when I have 'stacked' images (eg. one image showing in the album and two other copies 'hidden' underneath), all of the photos in the stack are copied to the ipad and iPhone. So instead of seeing just one version of an image, I see as many as are in the stack. How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?
    Thanks for your help!

    I solved my own problem.
    The sync problem seemed to only occur on smart albums. There is a new check box option in Aperture 3 when making a smart album: "sync stack pick only." One click and the problem is solved!

  • How can i sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle?

    How can I sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle?  Everytime I try to sync it I get the little pop up box that asks if I want to transfer and delete what new songs I have already downloaded.....i know it has something to do with sharing music libraries but not sure how to do this....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't.
    If you do not have your contacts, then you cannot sync your contacts.
    You should ALWAYS maintain a backup copy of your computer.

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • How can I sync up the calendar from Microsoft Outlook email with my ipad 2?

    How can I sync up my calendar from Microsoft Outlook with my ipad 2? Or do I have to enter in all of the dates individually?

    When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, then on the device's Info tab you should be able to select where to sycn a calendar from - from the iPad manual :
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

  • How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
    But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
    Leave everything checked.
    Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.
