I can no longer sync music, books and ring tones
I recently updated my iTunes, and something has changed. I can sync music and audio books - but it erases my ring tones. I noticed this, and attempted to sync my ring tones -- only to lose all of my music and audio books. I have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked (though the check keeps disappearing). This is so frustrating! Anyone know what's going on?

I can no longer sync music to any of my ipods. It shows that it is syncing, but it doesn't. It worked fine a few weeks ago. Any suggestions?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

How can i use my music as a ringing tone??
how can i use my music as a ringing tone??
I came across a GREAT program: iRinger.net. It's a free download and really easy (and Fun) to use!
I recommend watching the Instructional Video on the homepage that shows you exactly how to use it. Basically, you upload a song to the program, edit any portion of it that you like to a 40 second or less tone, then export it to iTunes. When you sync your phone w/ iTunes, it gets saved along with the rest of your ringtones. I had a blast last night creating about a dozen or so!

HT1386 I can no longer sync my books to my iPod touch.
Okay someone help me out, PLEASE!
My daughter and I bought new e-books and wanted to put them on our iPods to read with iBooks. First I tried with my daughter's. I added her books to her iTunes account. Her settings are set to sync all books, rather than selected books. I clicked "apply" then clicked "sync". Then I got an error message saying it could not add the 4 files (the four new books) because they could not be found. I double-checked and they were still showing up in her iTunes library where I'd put them but kept saying they could not be found when I went to sync. I also kept getting the message "cannot connect to iTunes store" which was odd but my daughter's had lots of issues with her iTunes before so before I pulled out anymore of my hair I decided to switch over to my account and put my new books on my iPod.
Umm yeah that wasn't happening either. I have mine set up to only sync selected items. I added all my new books into my iTunes. I opened up my iPod settings and went into the book section, found the new books I wanted to add, checked them all and clicked "apply" then "sync". I never got an error message, however I also didn't see the little writing during the sync that would say "adding [book title]" either. So I checked my iBooks account and sure enough they aren't in there. I tried several dozen more times, I even tried switching my settings to sync ALL the books in my iTunes and it would not add any new books at all. And before it's suggested YES, I had the room/space on my iPod for the files (same with my daughter).
This happend to me once before and I got totally frustrated and annoyed and ended up deleting every single book out of my iTunes, as well as deleting my iBooks app altogether. Then I readded iBooks and re-added a few books at a time to my iTunes account and synced and it worked fine. The next time I had a few books to add I held my breath sure it wouldn't work but it did. And the next few times was fine. Then today this happened again! I really don't want to have to take all my books off again (as I'm in the middle of reading one) and delete the app, etc. so I really hope someone can suggest something else. I'm about to just say screw it and sell my iPod and get a kindle or a kobo or something.Well, I can see a potential problem with that, although you must have made it work before.
I had a set up on a Windows computer like that, but the iTunes accounts couldn't communicate or share content. We consolidated, after much fuss, to one Library, one location.
This may be why your daughter has problems connecting to the iTunes store. The "server" is serving 2 accounts.
I am sure it is why the books didn't sync and can't be found on her iTunes account. If you look on her iTunes on the computer, are the book titles pale gray? is there an ! point on them? This means that while the computer knows they were there, they can't connect with the actual content. After all they can't be in two places at once. iTunes can sometimes offer to "rebuild the path" to lost files, I don't know it that would work here.
As for why they come and go from your device, I can only guess it is because they are not iTunes purchases. Just like my PDFs, iTunes tolerates them, but really doesn't know what they are, or what to do with them, so it does nothing. (unless you make it!) Not that iTunes treated the iBooks I did get from iTunes any better.
As I posted above, the only way I could get it to work was to delete stuff, which seemed to shock iBooks into syncing the books and PDFs. Maybe, finish the book you are reading, delete all then add new books? (Sorry,it's all I got)
If you are going to share content, one iTunes Library, but separate Apple IDs would work better. But that is up to you (I'm also a parent, I get it) I share with my 2 sons.
You mentioned a Kindle. I have one. Never use it, but it is an older one. The paperwhite seems like a good idea. It is absolutely impossible to transfer PDFs to the kindle in a print size big enough to read unless it's
24 pt type going in. Didn't work for me, might work for you. -
Since installing itunes 11, we can no longer sync to our Outlook 2007 and 2010 calendars (there may be other Outlook files included in this syncing problem). Using the iCloud is not an option as it does not support Vista OS. We are trying to reinstall iTunes 10.7, however; that is not going particularly well, either. Does anyone have a proven solution for this mess?
FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

Thought something was wrong with my iMac, but found that the new OS will no longer allow me to sync contacts and my calendar with my iPhone unless I do it with iCloud. Do not want to sync remotely and am disappointed that there seems to be no option. Hoping I read the help (sic) message wrong.
Dear Fl,
What are your concerns syncing with icloud? -

After installing the latest update to itunes, and my ipod, I can no longer sync my computer and my ipod nomatter what I do. I have tried everything I know and can read. I am beginning to think it has something to do with the password that I changed, but I tried to change it back and nothing happens. Does anybody have any suggestions. I have been working on this for three hours and I can't figure it out? Apple is no help and it was their updates that messed the whole thing up.

I just moved my Mobile Me account to an iCloud account and can no longer sync between iCloud and this older iMac. I can post changes to my iCal on my other Mac's running OS Lion, but when I do so they don't appear on this computer in iCal. I can't upgrade this iMac to an OS greater than 10.5
Yes,that is the sad case, the only option other than a new Mac is to view iCal via Web on the older Mac & manually add changes to your old iCal.

I have just down loade icloud and can no longer sync my old music in itunes I have tried to delete icloud but it will not delete?
Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.
