How to sync when you have too much music

I have too much music on my computer to sync onto my IPAD. How do I make lists only and where do I change the settings?

You can create playlists on your computer's iTunes via File > New Playlist or File > New Smart Playlist . Smart playlists can be updated automatically by iTunes e.g. you can create smart playlists that contain a particular music genre and they will be updated automatically if you add music of that genre to iTunes, or you might have a smart playlist of 5* rated tracks etc
When you the sync music to the iPad, then on the device's Music tab you can select which playlist(s) to sync to the iPad

I have too much music on my i phone( purchased): This synchronises with my computer and i pad which has larger storage facility: How can I delete music only from my i phone and retain it on my computer and ipad?

On the iPhone, go to Settings > General > Usage > Music (in the Storage Section) > Tap Edit > Tap the Red Circle next to All Music > Tap Delete.

Can someone tell me if there is a way to sync address book, calendar and mail ONLY, no music from Itunes to Iphone 4s from my Imac G5, OS 10.5.8? I bought a 16 GB and have too much music and no icloud on my machine (or my ipod 5th gen)

I was told I CANNOT only sync part of my music from my Imac Itunes, and since I have an ipod and itunes with the music, I don't really need it on my iphone, but if I sync all the rest, is it going to sync the music too! It is too much data if it does!! And did Icloud take the place of "mobile me". If so can that be used to get some music if I want to from my hard drive mac or ipod?

You were told wrong. You can sync only what you want to sync.
Yes, iCloud is taking place of Mobile Me over time. MM will be turned off in June of next year.
With iCloud, you can store the music in the cloud and download the tracks that you want to listen to without having to sync to your iTunes.

Too Much Music for iPod Nano

Hello everyone,
I need help adding music to my Nano.
I used to have a first generation Shuffle, which automatically chose music from the iTunes library when I plugged it in. It tended to choose music randomly so that I had different songs from many albums.
I now have a Nano and would like iTunes to randomly pick music to add to my Nano (since my music library is too large to fit on the Nano). However, when I plug the Nano in, it creates a playlist, but chooses entire albums.
Is there a way to make this more random? I thought it'd be neat to sync the Nano with the Party Shuffle Playlist, but iTunes won't let me.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Allison

How about a workaround which requires two steps to update:
Create a single playlist, set it to Play Count is less than 900000, limit to the number of GB or number of songs that will fit, selected by "Random". Sync your iPod to this list.
When you want a new random list, edit the Smart Playlist and change random to "Album", choose "OK", then edit it again and set it back to random for a new list of songs to sync.
Hope that helps

What is the easiest way to sync and back up 2 iPhones with different accounts on one computer?

My parents have gotten a new Windows 8 computer and want to use it to back up and sync their phones for updates. They don't share an iTunes account but they do share the credit card used to make purchases. They also so not want to set up "his and her" accounts on the computer. Also they are getting new phones next week. Should I just make an account for them to share and delete their old accounts, or will signing in and out of iTunes based on who is using it keep their information seperate...or is there a much simpler way to do it that I am totally missing?

I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

What is the easiest way to sync multiple ipads to one computer

Is it possible to (easily) sync multiple (10) Ipads to one computer? My hope is to have all ten sales reps in the field, with the same info on their ipads.

Too much music?

Hi.
I've been trying to import all the music I have stored on my computer to iTunes, but somehow iTunes select only a part of it. Sometimes an error shows too, saying iTunes failed importing/copying :C-disc or something. Could it be that I have too much music for iTunes to handle? I've got all my music in the My Music-folder, and it's grown to about 12GB... A lot, but should that really be a problem?
I've tried importing files not choosing the 'import folder' but the other option, and I've read in this forum that in the old versions you could import several files in one go that way. I can only import one at a time. iTunes seems screwed up...
I could really need some help with this, because as it is now, my iPod is empty...

12 gigs is not too much for iTunes.
By any chance, if you look in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General, do you have "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder..." checked? If so, uncheck it and try again. (If you are short of free hard drive space, that option will have trouble operating.)

I have already purchased iMovie for my iPad. Is there a way to download to my MAC without having to pay again?

The iPad version is for iOS devices and can't run on OS X.
The OS X version costs 3 times as much and is a separate download.

HT1329 I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer. It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer. I don't see any of my playlists on the new computer. What is the easiest way to transfer my playlists without having to recreate each one?

I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer. It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer, so the new one has a totally different user interface. I signed on to my account and saw my music but I have no playlists on the new computer. What's the easiest way to replicate or restore my playlists as I had them in the old computer and in my iPod?

OK, thanks for the response. I'm copying it onto a memory stick to transfer it to the new computer. Still have two questions:
1. Since there is already an iTunes folder on the new computer, created when iTunes was downloaded, where exactly do I copy the old folder onto the computer so that iTunes can find it? In the old interface, there used to be a field where one could designate the path to find music and I don't see that in the new interface.
Assuming the above takes care of putting my playlists onto the new computer...
2. How do I add music that is currently stored in a back up file but was not on my old computer's drive? I'm worried that I would have to add these one by one somehow, and there are a lot of songs.
Thanks again.

What is the best way to sync a second Ipod (7th generation nano) to itunes

What is the easiest way to sync a second Ipod (7th gerneration nano)? I want all my songs on both ipods.

iTunes treats each iPod separately, so you can set up each iPod's syncing as desired, without regard to the other one. You can connect them both at the same time, and set them up differently or identically.
Here is a convenient way to set up automatic syncing, and in your case, keep both iPods in sync with each other.
I want all my songs on both ipods.
First, if your entire iTunes music library ("all of my songs") fits on the iPod, it will be easy. Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. Set it to Sync Music. Below that, chose to sync Entire music library. Apply the change. Your entire music library syncs to your iPod. Repeat for other iPod. Any changes you make to your iTunes music library going forward syncs automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).
Otherwise, if your music library does not fit (or you want to be more selective), you need to set up the Music tab, but choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. This is where you can keep it simple...
Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Songs." Add ALL of the songs you want on your iPod to that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and select ONLY that new playlist under Playlists. Apply the change. The songs on that playlist sync to your iPod. Repeat for other iPod. Going forward, when you want to update songs on your iPods, just update that playlist (add and remove songs). Changes you make to that playlist sync automatically to your iPods, when you connect them (or click the Sync button).

Not getting all my music from iTunes I might have too much stored like ebooks how do I delete

I have a iPod touch but have noticed I am not getting new music I purchased from iTunes onto my touch. Not sure if I have too much other things like books etc using storage, how can I correct this

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
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?
