HT1386 Initial iTunes sync witnout iCloud?

I'd like to add my iTunes library to my PC at work, which I can activate no problem. The Problem is that it's about 100GB and I can't just use up the company's bandwidth for a whole day, so I need an offline solution for the initial sync. Can I do this somehow?
Lots of Greetings!
Volker

Hello volker17,
This can be done by copying your iTunes Library to an external hard drive and using the drive to transfer your library to your work PC.

  • ITunes Sync and iCloud crap sync to iPhone 5s problems, sorry for the profanity

    This is an iTunes PC (slash) iPhone 5s sync question, or is my iPhone playing music from iCloud when i don't want it to?
    I don't use iCloud, i Sync my iPhone 5s to my PC. I backup to my PC, save my camera roll images to my PC, and i put music onto my iPhone from my PC. Call me old fashion but it is what it is, very simple. I know ... whether i like it or not my phone and my apple account have an cloud presence i get it, i am not a complete iCloud agnostic, so please bear with me, be gentle folks.
    I have been syncing selected Music,by picking specific playlist to add to the phone. One of the playlist is Purchases. I only buy music from iTunes through my PC, (Remember no judging). What i am noticing on my phone is that music is playing that i didn't select from my itunes playlists. For example i don't sync music videos, by i get them on my phone anyway, here is an example
    as you can see this video played from my phone when i didn't select it to sync from itunes.
    HOW can i prevent this.
    This is also happening with old purchases that aren't on my computer, like my kid's old Cheetah Girls, and Hilary Duff music, they play too.
    So i guess i need a refresher about how iCloud works, and how can i stop if from playing these songs and videos i don't want. Is this taking up space on my phone??? Am i using bandwidth every time something plays from the iCloud???
    Help!!
    thanks folks
    B

    You're welcome.

  • Changes made to music in iTunes synced to iCloud?

    If I make changes to music in iTunes (e.g., changing the artist's name, adding album name, etc), how do I get these changes to be reflected on iCloud?  Do I need to rematch?  If so, will the outdated match on iCloud be deleted?

    They would only be reflected automatically if you have subscribed to iTunes Match.  Otherwise, you would have to sync with iTunes for the changes to be transfered to your devices.

  • ITunes sync after iCloud restore

    So after retoring from an iCloud backup, I found that I can't sync apps with my computer without deleting all of them from my iPhone? Anyone find a worksround to this?

    Thanks! I was hoping there was a way to store page/folder info for apps too, but this is more than fine.
    Looks like the backup includes all the user data for each app as well (or it's stored somewhere, anyway), since all the app configs and data seem to be there when I re-download the app. Nice!
    Followup question: what is "transfer purchases" for if you can't transfer them back to the device after a restore? I'm not complaining, just asking. What can you do with the transferred purchases?

  • HT1386 iTouch/iTunes sync issue

    My iTouch is (all of a sudden) not able to connect with iTunes (PC) with a USB connection.  The PC doesn't appear to recognize/acknowledge it.  No reason to believe there's any software corruption or hardware damage...my iPhone continues to connect/sync with issue.  Any idea what may be causing this or how to resolve?

    Did you do everything here:

    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • HT1386 Will itunes sync save video downloaded through app?

    I have the Khan Archiver app on my ipod touch with many Khan Academy videos that I downloaded thrrough the app. Will syncing my itouch mean save those videos to my computer?

    You have to look at the users guide/manual/instructions for that app or go to the developer's support side. It is up to the developer if/how you can.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

    Hello Rsd841979,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not very clear to me what you're trying to accomplish with iCloud, but if you want to start backing up to iCloud, then you can follow the directions in the article below.  If this is not what you are trying to do, then please let me know what you're wanting to use iCloud with.

  • I have Icloud through Itunes and Purchased Icloud on my Ipad but when I Sync my my Ipad with my Itunes account it downlods my music directly to my Ipad Hard drive and it's taken up all my available memory storage. How can I load my ituse in Icloud

    I have an Iclouds account through Itunes and also I paid to have and an Icloud account on my Ipad but when I sync my Itunes music it's not being stored in the Icloud but directly on my Ipad haard drive. I like to know what do I have to do to correct this problem.

    Hey jousley33,
    I see that you wish to have your music stored remotely and be able to access it via streaming on your iPad. This is a feature of the service called iTunes Match:
    Apple - iTunes - iTunes Match
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    You may also be able to access the music that you have purchased through the iTunes Store remotely:

  • Can I opt to only sync iPhone 4 via iTunes and NOT iCloud?

    I only use the iCal, Contacts, and Mail parts of MobileMe.  I sync all three via iTunes.  I don't need to worry about any web storage or gallery or other stuff.
    Because my MacBookPro is early 2008, I'm leery of upgrading to Lion, even though it's needed for iCloud.  I don't want to deal with the decreased battery life or any downgrade in speed.  My iPhone 4 is running the most current iOS.
    If I don't upgrade to Lion, I accept that I can't migrate to iCloud via my MacBookPro.
    Here are my questions:
    1.  If I don't physically initiate a migration to iCloud, will my .me/.mac mail accounts disappear or will I still be able to get my mail as usual using the mail apps on my MacBookPro and iPhone 4?  Will I have to change any of the imap server settings after June 30?
    2.  For my contacts and iCal, will I be able to continue to sync to my iPhone 4 via iTunes, so that I can pretend iCloud doesn't exist?  I realize any calendar/contacts changes wouldn't be immediately seen across all devices, but I don't need them to be--changes can wait until my next iTunes sync.
    3.  If I don't make any changes, will I be able to set up my iCloud stuff at a later date, after MobileMe is history?
    4.  If I simply MUST initiate a move to iCloud to "reserve my space" or whatever, is it something I could do via my iPhone or even on a newer computer at the Apple Store?
    Basically, can I keep doing what I'm doing, postpone a Lion upgrade for now and ignore the move to iCloud, or will I break the internet?
    Thank you in advance.

    Yes - deselect them before you sync.
    I'm assuming that you auto sync so if you do sync that way - go ahead and sync your iPad again. But don't disconnect the iPad yet. After the sync completes - click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes - then click on the apps tab on the right. Uncheck all of the iPhones apps under the list of apps to deselect them. When you have all of those apps deselected - click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. This will remove them from the iPad and iTunes will remember this the next time that you sync.

    how do sync a book that I have added as music to itunes on my iMac and then listen to this book on my iPhone.  Itunes says the icloud status is waiting so the song(book) is in the process of being matched but has not yet been processed.  (no help there)

    Hi,
    Why are you trying to add a book as music? It will not match as this only applies to music files. It will be uploaded if the bit rate is 96 Kbps or greater.
    You should change media type to audiobook and you will be able to sync by wifi or USB.
