Hi Niel
Thank you so much for trying to help me in this matter.
I tried that with my Lap Top (Windows based) but no dialog box appears. Should I do press the keys in a special order?
I have gone in to the dialog box for setup and selected manual sync in the Music field and I have ticket off the box under Pictures but still the iPod is syncronising when it is connected. Is it possible to se a "screen dump" of the dialog box? My e-mail adress iss [email protected] Thanks! Best regards Magne

  • BlackBerry Link won't sync Music and Pictures with Mac

    Blackberry Link 1.2.1.18 for Mac won't sync pictures or music with my BlackBerry 10 Device.  Contacts and Calendars sync fine but Music and Pictures pretend like they are syncing but then just stops with no error or warning.  Im using the latest versions of iTunes and iPhoto... None of my Music is protected and all my Photos are just regular JPG in an iPhoto Library.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
    BB Link 1.2.1.18
    Mac OS 10.9.4
    BB OS 10.2.1.2977

    No luck.  I tried with iTunes and iPhoto closed and it says it's syncing... then after some random amount of time iTuens opens for no reason and stays open.  iPhoto will also open and then quickly close.  I don't have iCloud set in iPhoto.  Tonight I tried the whole process with my WiFi turned off on my laptop, which is my only Internet connection.  It moved along for a little bit, and then just stops.  ALL my music files are standard MP3, so I have no clue why it doesn't work.  Im trying to copy everything use USB Storage mode now, just so I can have stuff on my phone.  Surely BlackBerry can fix this?  I've seen other people also having lots of issues with BlackBerry Link.

  • Laptops Sync Music and Pictures

    I have teacher computers set up as mobile accounts and all users are in the staff group. I have set Workgroup Manager not to sync the Music and Pictures folders for the group, however the syncs still look a these folders and syncs them. This seems straight forward, but I cannot get it to stop syncing these floders.It is only set up to sync Desktop Documents and Library. I have also deselected to to merge with users.
    Thanks for any help or insight on this.

    Has anyone run into this?

    Has anyone had this issue before?
    Thanks in Advance

  • Itunes will not manually sync music with my Iphone 5

    I am trying to manually sync music from ITunes and my Iphone5. From the Info screen I have selected the option to manually sync music and video files. From the music screen I have selected the option to sync selected artists, etc. I selected some of my music and was conscious to leave room for all the other items on my phone (per the storage bar at the bottom of the screen). When I select 'Sync' at the bottom of the screen, ITunes goes through all of the steps to sync and seems to complete. However nothing is copied over to my phone and I do not see any of the titles being transferred in the status bar. Additionally, I am receiving an error message that states I do not have enough disk space to complete the transfer and that an additional 4GB is required. However, I have a very small amount of music scheduled to transfer and the status bar that tracks available space still has over 7GB available with my selections made. I appear to have ample disk space yet the phone will not update any music at all.  Please help if you can. Thank you.

    I have the exact same problem. My Iphone is always synced by connecting to my computer because I don't want anything on the cloud. All of the sudden the yellow "other" part of the bar showing what's on my phone  will fill up the right half of the bar even though I haven't added anything. I have emptied the phone  of all it's content one category at a time to try to identify what the "OTHER" is. I remove all the apps, them Music and so on. It doesn't work and the yellow bar stays showing it is taking up half the space on my phone. So then I put the settings back the way they were, which should leave about a quarter of my storage space free. Then I do a reset of my phone and after two hours ( that's how long it takes) The "other" yellow bar goes back down to taking up about 1/20 of space on my IPhone even though I haven't made any changes. The only reason I sync at all is to add music to my phone that I've added to my main library on ITunes. This is so frustrating and a huge wast of my time! Can someone tell me haw to stop this please?

  • TS4062 When manually syncing music from my mac to my iPod touch, when I delete tunes from my manual list and hit apply, these songs remain on my iPod?

    When manually syncing music from my Mac to my ipod, if I delete from my list and hit apply, the songs are remaining on my ipod? It just started doing this.

    You need to select the songs on the iPod (in iTunes) and hit Delete.
    Since you are Manually managing, Apply doesn't do anything to Music on the iPod.

  • Cannot delete music from iPod nano (latest generation).  Have already selected "Manually Manage music and videos" but delete is unavailable from right click or Edit.

    I have done everything I've seen recommended for deleting music (jncluding "manually manage").  Thanks for the assistance!!!

    Did you Apply the change after selecting (checking the box for) Manually manage music and videos?
    With the latest iTunes, if the sidebar is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    In the sidebar, select the iPod under DEVICES.  Click the toggle (to the left of iPod) to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  You can select songs there, right click on them, and select Delete from the contextual menu.  You can also select songs there, go up to the menu bar, and select Delete under Edit.  You can also select songs there, and just press the Delete key on the keyboard.
    If you want to use automatic syncing, which is far more convenient than the manual method, and easily manage content on the iPod (add and remove songs), please post back.

  • I just turned on my iPod Touch and all my music has been wiped... (my iTunes was set to manually manage music, and all my apps are still on the iPod...).

    What has happened and how do I get my music back? Obviously I have some of it on iTunes but others I don't have anymore... I can't understand how my music would suddenly disappear when my iPod has been working fine. My iTunes was set to manually manage music (and even if it hadn't been, then my iPod would have been synced to it anyway, so that can't explain why it's gone) and all my apps are there as usual. It's the version of the iPod touch before the camera was introduced. Please help!

    That makes it difficult to provide any assistance.  I hate to say this but you chose to manage the music yourself and there's no way that i/we can figure out what you did that caused the problem.

  • Cannot manually manage music and videos without erasing and syncing first

    I have an iPhone 3G bought new from the Apple store using 2.1. Using iTunes 8.0 and checking the "Manually manage music and video" checkbox, iTunes prompts me to "Erase and Sync", no other option is available to me. It was the same when using version 7.7 as well.
    I'm not syncing to another computer, it's the same MacBook I've had for almost a year. How do I get the Library Persistent ID in iTunes to match the iPhone. I have the ID from the iTunes Music Library.xml file. I just need to know where the matching file for the iPhone is so I can make them match.
    The ID doesn't match because I had to rebuild my drive a month ago and my question to Apple (actually Steve) is why can't I sync the other way from the phone to the computer.
    Why does my library on the phone have to be wiped out. Who had the warped thought to come up with this genius idea.

    I cannot express how disappointing this was for me to find out.
    I want my music to be mobile, I don't want to have to copy it to every computer I want to listen to it on. I want to listen to it from the device, and be able to buy a new album at work or at home. This is a major disappointment for me, as every other device I have owned including my iPod Touch had this capability. I could authorize 5 machines and manually sync, and the music on that device could be played and managed on those authorized machines. For example, my wife has her own music collection, and I have mine, but we have a media center connected to our flat-screen in the living room, that we use for playing music when we are entertaining guests, and with our old iPods and iPod Touch devices, we could unplug one of our devices and plug the other persons in and listen to music from both our libraries without copying the music to that computer, as long as we authorized that machine for the both of us. Now with our iPhones there is no way to keep our seperate librarys and be able to play music on multiple computers in our house and at work, which we have always been able to do until our iPhones. The whole point of the iPhone for me was to be able to combine two devices and now because of the lack of this feature I still have to keep all our iPods around too... Dumb. I almost took our phones back because of this, and if apple doesn't fix it, I probably won't buy another. They should have at least mentioned this little fact before selling the devices to us. I know it's a different device, but it's similar enough that you expect it to work the same as the iPod and iPod Touch. It's not like I am wanting to be able to copy music from the device to multiple machines, it's exactly the opposite... I just want to be able to copy music to the device and listen to it at home and at work... why all apples other devices do this, and the iPhone doesn't is completely perplexing to me, and a serious oversight on there part. This pill would not be so hard to swallow if I had been warned about this prior to dropping almost a grand for iPhones for myself and my wife, expecting what I saw as a more advanced device to work at least as good as the other similar devices I own did.

  • "Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

    Hello all,
    I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
    I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
    I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
    Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
    Help, please!

    iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

  • Cannot Select Both "Manually manage music" and "Sync ringtones" for iTunes

    iTunes won't let me sync when both "manually manage music and videos" and "sync ringtones" is checked. If I choose "manage music and videos" first, add my music, then check "sync ringtones" all my music that I sync'd is deleted. The only way it worked for me was to sync the ringtones first without any music in the iPhone then checking "manually manage music and videos" afterwards but the problem is that once the "manual manage music and videos" is checked the "sync ringtones" isn't checked anymore so if I decide to add a ringtone later on I have to check "sync ringtone" causing my music to be deleted from the iPhone. This is a bad glitch Apple please fix it!

    If you manually manage music, to get ringtones on your phone, you have to drag them to the "actual iphone icon" in the device pane window, on the left side in itunes.
    FYI:
    Since the iphone DOES NOT support disk mode(like some ipods), there is no advantage to manually managing music, IMO.

  • Connect the device to your computer. Open iTunes. Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list. Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos". Click Apply. but after that say's everything on my iPhone will be deleted

    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
    Click Apply.
    than it says it'ss erase my iphone and sync with itunes library.
    what should i do?

    It wil only erase the music and videos. Nothing else.

    All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
    The photo app is saying restoring.
    What should i do?

  • HT1535 Unable to manually load music and video to ipod touch

    Since upgrading my iTunes and ipod Touch to the latest versions I can no longer manually sync my videos and music. Any ideas?

    Did you check to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option was still enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

  • My old laptop crashed, how do I get music and pictures from ipod touch (2nd generation) to new laptop?

    My old laptop crashed.  I bought a new one, but when I loaded itunes and plugged in my ipad 2, it only added the songs that were purchased in the itunes store.  I upgraded my os to 5.0 and it deleted all of my songs, a lot of my apps, and all of my pictures except for the ones on the camera roll.  I have these pictures and songs on my itouch 2nd generation but I can't get it to synch with the new computer.  All of the solutions I have seen online don't work.  I can't upgrade to the newest operating system because it is only 2nd generation. I tried turning on Home sharing and saving to the cloud, but I can't get it to work on the itouch.  Please help! 

    I don't have a backup copy of my old computer.  I bought an external hard drive and it said it backed up, but when I plugged it into my new computer, it was empty.  My old computer is not accessible.  Is there a way to get the music and pictures that are on my iphone and ipod onto my itunes account on the new computer? I have already lost them on my ipad.
