Info Pane Advanced Options in iTunes

Could someone please explain the Info Pane Advanced Options in iTunes when an iPhone is connected? The manual states:
"Advanced
These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your computer during the next sync."
But this seems to be the same as the other sync options on the info pane.

This is useful if for some reason, such as a reset, all the contacts on your phone have been deleted. In a normal sync, these would be deleted from your computer too in the sync process. By checking this option, it does not do the two-way sync, and will just sync from the puter to the phone.

TS2972 I do not have an advanced option in itunes

Help! It says that the home sharing option should be in the left hand menu or the advanced menu in iTunes and I don't have either????

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Hi Darrylrichard,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following articles will show you how to setup Home Sharing on your computer and on your iPad. What type of iPod do you have? This will only work with iOS devices.

Setting up Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer
To stream your iTunes library to your iOS device, you will first need to enable Home Sharing on your computer.
Note: To stream your iTunes library to your iOS device, you will need iTunes 10.2 or later.
Open iTunes on your computer.
iTunes 11 and later: Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.
iTunes 10.2 through 10.7: Choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing.
Enter the Apple ID and password that you use for the iTunes Store, then click Create Home Share. You need to enter the same Apple ID and password on your computer and your iOS device.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 on each computer you want to use for Home Sharing.
Now that you've set up Home Sharing on your computer, follow the instructions below to set up and use Home Sharing on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Setting up Home sharing on your iOS device
Tap Settings > Music or Settings > Video to enable Home Sharing.
Note: Enabling Home Sharing in either setting will enable Home Sharing for both types of content.
In the Home Sharing section, enter the same Apple ID and password you entered on your computer (or computers) and tap the return button.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. I'll typically add any new contacts I get directly to my iphone, simply because I don't have my mac on me at all times. However, unless I specifically add the contact to my mac address book, it will be deleted from my iphone contacts upon sync. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts. I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could. I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

How can I get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

I am trying to create a ringtone, when I right click and and go to get info I can't open anything under options. Itunes is not allowing me to do anything under options including changing the start and stop times. ??

Where is the 'Alert Me' option in iTunes 11?

I can't find the option to 'alert me' or 'follow' an artist in the iTunes store in iTunes 11. I sent an email to support but they didn't help very much:
"Greetings from iTunes Store Support. My name is Aparicio. I understand that you are unable to locate the alert me or follow option in iTunes 11. I understand how important understand the new iTunes 11 is and below I have provided a link that will assist with answering all your questions about iTunes.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/"
Does anybody know how to get alerts for an artist?
Thanks,
Zach

Okay, below is an update with the reply I got from my Apple support agent.
Now I'm not sure why or how she thought that that might help me, and I did in fact indulge her for the sake of the argument. Result: Nooooope, no Alert Me link anywhere. So don't waste too much time signing in or out of the Store, it won't bring the feature back.
I replied to her and am awaiting another response, hoping to escalate the issue with the higher ups.
P.S.: Dear Apple Support Tech: No, you information was not "needful" at all!

Where is the power search option in itunes??

"Add Field" in music "Get Info" is gone in latest iTunes version

I use the "Comments" in Get Info in iTunes to capture a lot of information on the artist, music, etc. In earlier versions of iTunes 12, I could click "Add Field" when the comments field was not showing. But "Add Field" is missing from the music "Get Info" screens in iTunes 12.1.2. How do I get it back?

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6812905 - Q: "In iTunes 12.1.0.50 there is no field for track number in the song info pane, is it possible to add this?" A: "It's there... Either scroll down inside the window or enlarge the window so you don't need to scroll. After you enlarge it and close, new Get Info windows will maintain the new size."

Changing short name in Advance Option in Account in Sistem preferences

What's happens if I change my short name in Advance option in the account menù? Apple put a warning in this page. I would like to change my short name and so the cartel where alla the files go.
Thanks in advance for answering.
Aldo

You mean the Username. Not much there. That's not the short name. It takes quite a bit to change a short name, and it is seriously dangerous.
