Is it possible to sync folders (Music, Movies) to iTunes?

Hey, I was wondering, is there something (freeware, applescript, etc.) that automatically updates (syncs) content from Music/ Movies folder(s) to iTunes?

Hi,
you might want to post this question in the iTunes forum.
Actually there is a sort of workaround: Make an Alias of your iTunes Music folder (Users/Your_Name/Music), move it wherever you want it and rename it to the name you like. Although not a "real" folder is serves the same purpose.

Is it possible to sync purchased music from the Itunes store to a non-Apple device?

I have a shuffle but my sister has a non-Apple MP3 player. How do I take music from my library that i purchased and add it to her non-apple mp3 player?

You would have to read the directions that came with the MP3 player to learn how to put music on it.
itunes syncs Apple devices.

After having to get a new computer, I tunes repeatedly asks to authorize the computer to play/sync purchased music. However, ITunes is saying that the computer is already authorized. What do I do?

You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"

iTunes does not support devices other than Apple's own. You'll have to use whatever method for synching provided for your Nexus, getting the tracks directly from the iTunes folder. This presumes that the Nexus supports industry-standard AAC files; if not, you'll have to convert them to a format the Nexus does support.

Went to use my contacts and they are all gone! Changed iCloud accounts on Saturday, performed a backup and then synced my music only on iTunes via a PC. How do I find out if my contacts were really stored on iCloud? If so, how do I get them back?

Log into icloud.com and then click on the Contacts icon. If the list is empty, then it's gone.

My iPad 2 will not download/sync books, music, movies, and apps. HELP ME!

My BRAND NEW iPad 2 that I opened yesterday will not download 4 books and a Rosetta Stone Application. I have been waiting for two hours now, and have done everything I can think of. I disconnected it from the internet, I shut it down and restarted it, I tried downloading a small, free app to see if it would jump start the download process, but nothing has worked yet. I am extremely frustrated that this $850 tablet will not do something as basic as download an eBook on it's second day of use. Does anybody have any ideas???

Brand new? Heck, I'd call Apple.
However, if you prefer, we can walk you through some standard procedures. Start with a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

HT1296 My iphone 4s is registered on my mac boo pro. Is it possible to sync my music from iphone to laptop without losing music content on iPhone

When I try to sync the music from my iphone 4s to mac book pro, I get a message that suggest that if I continue, the contents in my iphone will be replaced with whats already in the itunes on mac book pro (in other words my iphone 4s music collection will be all lost). Is there a way of syncing the 2 devices without losing any of the music. I seem to manage to sync other items like calendar, contacts, photos, books etc.

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

I got a first generation IPOD TOUCH for my husband and want to take some songs From my Computer that is hooked up to MY newer IPOD (not Touch, just IPOD) Is it possible to take the music from my ITUNES account and add the his IPOD Touch without changing

I am trying to take songs from my PC AND My Itunes account and send them to my husband's IPOD TOUCH First Generation BUT I don't want to change my whole ITUNES account that is already on my computer. When I plug HIS Ipod Touch into the PC, my ITUNES account wants me to CHANGE the DEVICE Name on the account and I don't want to do that. I only want to share SOME of my songs on my Itunes account and send them to h is IPOD TOUCH? Is this possible and HOW! Thanks a ton!!! I "checked" off the songs that I want to send but that's as far as I get before it asks me to change the Device Name?

Is his iPod usually synced to a different iTunes library/computer? If so, that would explain the message iTunes is giving you. An iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new library, the iPod's contents will be erased and replaced with what is in the newer/different iTunes library.
So if there is content you would like to add to his iPod, simply transfer it from your iTunes library to his.

Cannot sync ATV1 Purchased Movies with iTunes

I have recently purchased 5 movies via my ATV1. I cannot sync or get my purchased
movies into itunes. They are not in my itunes folder and I have no available downloads.
They used to always automatically appear in my iTunes folder, but not anymore. The TV
shows I've purchased are syncing, just not movie purchases.
I have the most recent ATV1 update and most recent iTunes update. Any help?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Can't Sync My Music After Downloading iTunes 8

I downloaded iTunes Version 8 a couple months ago, and since then, I haven't been able to sync my music to my iPod from my library. Whenever I try plugging in my iPod Classic, a box pops up and says that "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close". I've tried to plug it into different USB ports but it isn't working. My iTunes also won't allow me to burn a cd from my playlists. I have gotten many new songs and videos, and I'm exasperated. Help please!

I am having the same problem with my music as well. I had downloaded my music from a 3rd party site and then i used window's media player 10 to sync my music to my memory card. After about 15 min or so my music started to show up on my phone however not all of my music was listed. I downloaded 1,077 songs and only at first 366 songs showed up then i took out the battery and replaced it then 677 songs showed up. This is a software problem that RIM is looking into to correct the problem. Try removing your battery then insert it again then wait about 10-15 min then check your
music and see what happens.

HT1977 Is it possible to sync apps from two different iTunes stores?

I have an Australian and US iTunes account and I've bought apps from both but when I try to sync them to my iPhone only the US apps sync. Is it just not possible to sync from both?

As far as I know, you can only access the iTunes store of the country you are currently in.

My iPod refuses to sync some music downloaded from iTunes because my computer is "not authorized", although I have authorized it.

I have recently got a new computer, and decided to transfer my iTunes from my iPod (for I had to delete my music off my father's iTunes to conserve memory). I copied the files from my iPod onto my new iTunes account.When I synced my iPod with my iTunes, it refused to sync some songs which I had downloaded off iTunes onto my new iPod, for it says my computer is not authoraiazed, even though I have alredy authorized my computer. Wht should I do?

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
