HT2729 If I sync a podcast to my itune does it use data to playback

If I sync a podcast to my itune does it use data to playback

If you sync the episodes downloaded to your computer over to the device then there is no need for 3G data usage, however if the podcast app is set up to check for new episodes it may refresh the feed, which could involve a tiny data transfer.

  • I sync'd my Iphone with itunes and all my data on my Iphone was erased.  How can I get the data from my Iphone back?

    I am a previous user of itouch and sync'd it with itunes on my PC using windows 7, itunes v10.  Bought my first iphone and started using it: I entered contacts, photos, apps, etc.. I sync it for the first time and itunes removed all my data from my Iphone and put my old data from Itouch on the iphone.  How can I get my Iphone data back?

  • Will re-syncing iPhone to a new iTunes installation delete app data?

    As per topic above. Recently reformatted my computer before I was able to do any backups (Just couldn't get into Windows).
    Now I have re-installed everything and have synced my iPhone with a new iTunes library, but I have not synced my apps as I am scared that whatever data on the apps on my iPhone will be deleted.
    Will this happen?

    Basically wjosten's advice worked for me. I had wiped my MBP and installed Snow Leopard but forgot to make a backup of my itunes library. My main concern was the app data. I followed the instructions but chickened out at step 8 when iTunes warned me that it would erase the phone and ..." so I cancelled to just make sure I had everything right but it went ahead and made some weird sync anyway which left about 20% of my apps on the phone. So I restored from that backup I made at Step 6 and this time said ok to the sync at step 8.
    But then I checked the sync apps checkbox but either didn't realise or something happened that meant all the apps were unchecked. Next thing I see is "removing {app name}" which started freaking me out. I'm not sure what to do from this point so I started checking all the apps and pressed apply. However, it may work better if you cancel the sync but even better would be to have all apps checked in the first place. In the end end though I didn't loose any data - even on the apps that I saw getting removed just moments earlier. WOOHOO!!
    One side effect of this is that the apps are not in the same screen order as before... but that is either my fault or a very very small price to pay
    So this method works but you have to have the guts to click ok
    Also, be careful of your voice memos - I'm not sure if the instructions here cover those but they are not paid content so I would make sure you use something like http://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk/ to back them up.

  • Pse help with syncing and nonpurchased music from itunes to iphone using icloud

    Pse excuse myself for being such a noob. I am trying to sync music from which i have ripped from cd's to itunes using icloud. When i go into the purchased section there is no music to sync obviously as i havent purchased any music only ripped cd's. I beleive that this is where the music has to go to in terms of syncing to iphone. Is this correct or am i way off pse help guys.

    it says that I gotta reset my iPhone to Factory Settings. Which means I will lose all my apps, contacts and stuff.
    Why would you lose anything? Your contacts will be in whatever desktop program you have chosen to sync your contacts with, your Apps should be in your iTunes Library, and everything else should be on your computer too (assuming you've been syncing/backing up as designed).
    Are you trying to sync music from a different computer than you normally use?

  • When syncing Iphone with a new itunes, does it delete everything?

    My old computer crashed and everything on it was deleted so I bought a new laptop, and I want to change the Iphone setting to Manually manage music and videos and Update my iphone 4 to 5.1.1 software, but when i click that, it says that it will delete everything on my iphone. and by everything does it mean that all the apps, music, messages, photos etc? because i got some messages and photos that I dont want to be erased. and does it also delete the progess I have on the apps? like do I have to restart the game ?

    yeah but if you have a backup of the old data you can restore it to the new laptop and it will replace the data on the iphone with the same data from the backup

  • Can't sync new iPhone 4 with iTunes without it locking up iTunes

    Got my new iPhone 4 last Friday. They tell me I need to register it and sync it. Didn't get around to trying that until yesterday. Tried most of the day and night last night, using iTunes 9.whatever it was. Kept on locking up iTunes. Tried deleting iTunes, reinstalling it and trying again. Didn't work. Even trying to register the phone made iTunes lock up.
    Downloaded iTunes 10 last night. Have the same situation, BUT, it finally did allow me to finally register my phone this afternoon. Thought the problem was solved. Still won't allow me to sync.
    Sync starts up (took it off the auto-sync setting) and it says it is going to backup the device - Step 1. Sometimes the progress bar moves 1/4 inch, sometimes 1/2 inch. Sometimes it just has the moving pattern on it. Once or twice, it actually got to Step 2, whatever that is. It always locks up. I've left it running for hours... still won't work.
    Was told to delete iTunes, restart, delete trash and reinstall it. Tried that SEVERAL times, still didn't work. Was told to delete some other files (the IT guy was standing beside me because I have NO clue as to what to do with these files) - at least 1 file from the Library and not certain where the others were. That didn't work either. It just keeps on locking up iTunes and quite often, when I check with Force Quit, it shows that iTunes isn't responding. I repaired disk permissions. Didn't work. I unchecked what to sync - just trying to sync Apps now, and it still doesn't work.
    All software is up-to-date on both the phone as well as my MBP. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
    Just tried it again and just plugging in the iPhone caused the beach ball to start spinning. I've GOT to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    After purchasing a new iPhone 5S I had a problem syncing iTunes with the iPhone...At the Apple Store, the Service Rep backed up my iPhone to iCloud in order to transfer all data from the old phone to the new phone. At home when I tried to sync iTunes with my new iPhone 5S, iTunes would not recognize my new phone. I discovered iTunes was configured to back up data to my Mac hard drive and the iPhone was configured to back up data to iCloud. There was a conflict, subsequently causing iTunes to not recognize my new iPhone 5S. My solution was to delete iCloud from the iPhone. After doing this, iTunes synced with the iPhone with no problems. No data was lost and syncing occurred normally.
    I recommend these as possible solutions:
    1) The Apple store will back up your phone using iCloud. Make sure that iTunes is configured to back up to iCloud before you plug your new phone into iTunes for syncing/back-up. If your iTunes is configured to back up data to your hard drive, ensure that the Apple Store does not back up your phone data to iCloud. You will have to back up all iPhone data yourself at home on iTunes.
    2) If they insist on backing up your phone data to iCloud from your old phone to your new phone then, be sure to delete the iCloud account off your new phone before you try to sync your new phone to iTunes.
    I used the 2nd solution to solve my syncing issues. Everything works great now. iTunes recognized my new phone and can now sync/back-up data with out problems, error messages or loss of data.
    Hope this helps everyone out! I intend to get drunk to relieve all the stress and hopefully restore my sanity as a result of having to solve this problem while having to act as my own Apple support staff!

  • How to sync 2 iPhones with 1 iTunes library and have separate settings?

    Hi,
    in the family we have one Mac that hods all the music within iTunes. We have two iPhones which are currently linked with this iTunes library. As we have different apps and different settings the iphones get confused with the apps and especially with the iPhone settings (I have mobileme, my wife not). So now we both have each others notes for example synced to both iPhones.
    We would like to separate the whole thing now - is there any save way to have these iPhones synced separately to the one iTunes library without loosing data?
    Thanks.

    Hi, thanks for your answer.
    Unfortunately this does not work because iTunes still keeps one account with the store active regardless which library I open. So when I switch the account in the store it will be switched for both libraries. That means that I can not separate the iPhone applications and all the other specific sync parameters.
    I thought about using my wife's account on the Mac and pointing iTunes to the new library - the problem here is that then the iPhoto library is not accessible any more......
    I can't really believe that there is no solution from Apple - I mean there must be more couples and families out there with 2 and more iPhones syncing with one iTunes / iPhoto etc libraries.
    Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

  • ITunes does not sync contacts with outlook

    Hi,
    After upgrading from office 2003 to 2013 no contact is being synced with my iPhone over iTunes (I'm using Windows-7).
    When selecting "sync" it says that syncing is in progress and it takes a while to complete the syncing but no contact is being synced with outlook contacts.
    Uninstalling and reintalling of iTunes didn't help.
    Thanks

    iDevices can only be synced via iCloud or to a supported application on the computer via iTunes, but not both.  Turn off syncing via iCloud to enable the option in iTunes on the computer.

  • HT2729 HOW DO I SYNC DOWNLOAD PODCASTS TO MY IPOD?

    how do i sync download podcasts to my ipod?

    The same way you would sync any other content to the device.
    Connect it to the computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • IPod Touch 4G won't sync new apps on 2nd authorized computer, but WILL sync music, podcasts, etc.

    Hello.
    Everywhere I've read about apps not syncing to the iPod touch while using iTunes on a second authorized computer have mentioned that they could sync nothing to the device. Yet I have a different problem, one where I have no problem syncing new music, podcasts, pictures, etc., and only new apps refuse to sync to the device.
    I recently purchased a new iPod Touch 4G. My computer being away for repairs at the time that I bought it, I synced only podcasts, apps, pictures, and video to the device using a friend's computer under a different Apple ID. When I first synced it, I authorized that computer with the device, and it mentioned you could sync the device with up to 5 computers, so I figured I would have no problem when I got my own computer back.
    Having now received my computer back, I connected my new iPod touch to my own iTunes under my Apple ID and authorized my computer as the second authorized computer. These are the only two computers I have ever synced the device with.
    I copied my music library, more pictures, and more podcasts to the device with no problems, and they play/show on the device no problem. Also, I can still access and use all the content previously on my iPod.
    I have downloaded a few new free apps that I wanted to sync to my iPod using my computer, but when I go to sync them to my iPod, they won't sync to the device. I have downloaded all the apps I had originally put on my iPod using my friends computer so that I would receive updates for the apps automatically. I have not tried to sync these, though I have (or iTunes at least is telling me I have) synced any updates that have since come up for the apps already on my iPod.
    I have tried clicking and dragging the new apps from the apps tab over to the device tab, and iTunes shows them syncing, and to the best of my knowledge, shows that it has finished syncing them. It also shows that it has completely synced all the new apps when I try syncing on the apps tab under the device tab (the one that shows up when you click on the tab for your iPod, and is next to Summary, Pictures, Video, etc.). I have all the boxes checked off, and the boxes next to all the apps are checked off as if they're on my iPod, but they don't show up on the screen display next to it. When I click and drag the new apps over so they appear and click "apply," iTunes shows that it has completed the syncing process, but the apps won't show up on my iPod, and disappear from the sceen display on the device apps tab the next time I sync my iPod.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and have downloaded all updates for it. My iPod's less than a month old, so I don't think there's any updates for the iPod itself.
    I also currently don't have the ability to sync over wi-fi, or have wi-fi access on my iPod at home, though I could set it up if it would fix the problem. Right now, I'm only syncing my iPod using usb and iTunes.
    I would prefer, if possible, not to have to restore the iPod to factory settings, and begin anew. However, if this is necessary, any help on how to restore the iPod and back it up would be much appreciated.
    Any help you can give is awesome.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hey, I'm probably too late and you may have already solved it but here's a solution. In iTunes go to Edit then preferences and then click on reset dialog warnings. What happens is when you first sync your ipod, you receive a message saying something like transfer?and you've probably selected "Do not show this message again". I don't really know why but iTunes assumes that the apps on your iPod are already on your computer and therefore need no transferring.
    After you've reset it, the same message should pop up about transferring. As long as you don't click don't show, you should be good to go.

  • How do I turn off podcast syncing between my iPhone and iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all.
    So yeah... updated my iTunes today (along with the rest of the Mavericks OS X Update Version 10.9.3) and now all the podcasts I subscribe to on my iPhone have shown up in the Podcasts section of iTunes.
    Very nice of you, Apple, but I don't want them on my computer. I don't listen to them on my computer. I listen to them on my iPhone. So I'd love to find out how to turn off this mystery syncing if anyone has any insight.
    Many thanks in advance!
    J

    In iTunes on the desktop open the preferences & look in the 'Store tab'.
    There is a checkbox for sync podcast subscriptions, disable that & see if it helps.
    It isn't clear if this syncing is part of iTunes & iOS syncing (why isnt it under the device section of iTunes?), iCloud or via an app store account.
    It looks like it is a feature of the App store - but I don't recollect ever signing into the store in the podcasts app?!
    If the above helps submit feedback to Apple since this seems less than clear…

  • Inability to Sync Checked Podcasts in iTunes 7.6.2

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's no longer possible to sync only checked podcassts in iTunes 7.6.2. There wasn't a straight forward way of doing this in earlier versions. (If I'm not mistaken, you checked "Manually manage music" and "Sync only checked songs" on the Summary tab and unchecked the top Sync option on the Podcasts tab.) Now, even the back-door method doesn't seem to work. (In 7.6.2, iTunes will no longer sync your iPod if the top, Sync option on the Podcasts tab is not checked and/or "Manually manage music" is checked.)
    It is possible to manually drag podcasts without snycing. But without syncing, I'm afraid iTunes won't keep track of what you've played nor where you are in each podcast. (I find this critical when podcasts have accumulated lots of episodes and you need a quick way in iTunes of tracking what you heard already and don't want on your iPod. And it's important to sync where you are in a podcast if you are shifting between iTunes and the iPod when listening to long episodes.)
    The fix is easy and clear I think. Apple simply needs to add "all checked" after "all" in the drop down list given with the Sync option on the Podcasts tab.
    Thoughts?

    I am having the same problem. It seems thta Apple has caused quite a problem for us.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • My 1st generation iPod shuffle will not allow me to sync any podcasts onto it...what do I do?

    My 1st generation iPod shuffle isn't letting me sync my podcasts even though they can play in iTunes

    I did recently move to a new NetGear wireless cable voice gateway router (CG3100) and this is when the problems started
    In order for the AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network provided by the Netgear router, you need to know exactly what type of wireless security settings that the Netgear is using.
    Unless you provide the Express with the exact information required to join the network, you will continue to see error messages after you click Update during the configuration.
    The message about the "settings have been successfully stored" is a misnomer. This tells you that the settings have been saved, but not if they were the correct settings.
    You will know that you have the right settings about 40-45 seconds after you click Update. If the light turns green, your settings are correct.

    I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G.  My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes.  The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync.  During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync"  then immediately goes to "finished syncing".   No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

    You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
    It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
    - If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
    --- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
    iOS: How to back up
    --- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.
