How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday. Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
- songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
- photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
Good luck

When trying to manually manage my music and videos on itunes its telling me that im already signed up to one itunes library and if i apply these setings it will replace my current itunes library. is this safe and would i be able too retrieve my deleted mu

when trying to manually manage my music and videos on itunes its telling me i am already connected to another itunes library and that if i apply these settings it will delete all of my data and replace it with the current itunes library. will this just delete from the i tunes library or from my i tunes account all together?

Thanks for your reply. I don't keep all of my music in the iTunes' designated music folder. I don't like the way iTunes reorganizes my songs and I keep all my music in my own self organized music folders as I don't use iTunes as my primary media application. Not to mention allot of my files come from all different corners of my computer's hard drive. It would literally take months to go through over 20 gigs of media files to pick out the songs I have in my iPhone library to rebuild an iTunes library. Like i said, I don't even use iTunes other than to transfer files to my iPhone. I thought the purpose of manually managing the files was so you don't have to sync it with the iTunes library but now it won't give my that option without requiring me to delete everything on my phone I worked so hard on.
What I don't understand is logically or technically why iTunes HAS to delete all the content off of my iphone. Who's decision in the Apple's software engineering department was to require the one's iPhone to be erased if someone loses their iTunes library? Its frustrating because it makes no sense and I feel as if the software is punishing me for reasons I don't understand by threatening to delete all my content off my phone. Is there absolutely no way to transfer my music to my iPhone without deleting everything currently on and completely rebuilding my music library from scratch?

Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
Quitting iTunes.
Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

Cannot sync music and videos to an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.0 b1 on iTunes 11.2.2

Hey everyone.
Yesterday, I decided to take the leap to iOS 8.0 beta 1 on my iPhone 5. So far, things have been working ok (with the expected bugs here and there), except for this one thing above.
After I got it all installed on my iPhone, I then proceeded to restore from my most recent backup that I made prior to the install of this first beta of iOS 8.0. All that other stuff (my contacts, apps, and ringtones) came back just fine. For some reason, when it got to the part with syncing my music and videos, it was able to initally get them copied over, but then iTunes would get stuck on either "waiting for items to copy" or "waiting for changes to be applied". I remember this same thing happening last year when I updated to iTunes 11 as well.
Is there any workaround I can do to get this to work, or am I going to have to wait for the next update of iTunes to come out? What I'm guessing is that I won't be able to sync these things right now as the current version of iTunes only has full support for up to the most recent public release of iOS, 7.1.1. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Also, I have one other little error to ask about. After clicking on check for updates from the menubar, for some reason after checking for updates to iTunes it will show this message: "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occurred (-50)." My iPhone isn't even connected to my Mac right now in any form, whether it would be by a lightning cable or wifi.

Same issue that everyone else is having with me, and I'm also upset with Apple. Hardware is superlative, but software keeps going downhill. I'm running OSX 10.9 anditunes 11.4. I've tried every sync fix that may have worked for others, but nothing works for me. iTunes was great in the beginning, but the programmers seem dedicated to cutting its knees off with redesign that is inane instead of intuitive,, dropped feaqures, etc. I even hear the itunes 12 drops the sidebar!! I am getting the clear impression that the itunes group is a dumping ground for the rest of Apple. Fix this sync problem now. At a minum just re-use the code that worked before. N.

Why won't iPhone 5 sync music and videos?

I bought a new iPhone 5 and can't get it to sync my music and videos.
My iMac is running the latest OS, the iPhone is running the latest iOS and I'm using the latest iTunes 11.0.1.
It syncs all the apps, books, and other files okay. When I select, or deselect, a movie or playlist that I want synced the Summary page shows the Audio Video Apps and Other colour-coded space allocation bar correctly but when I run the sync no music nor videos are copied, the sync only takes a couple of seconds, and the Audio and Video parts of the space allocation bar disappear.
Variously I've tried checking and unchecking 'Sync only checked songs and videos' and 'Manually manage music and videos'. I've tried restarting both devices of course. I've signed out of iTunes and signed back in just in case it was an authorisation issue. I've tried creating a backup of the iPhone on iTunes in case this was needed to make a connection between both but nothing will work for me.
The music in question is NOT DRM. They are all files I've ripped myself from CDs and DVDs over the years. They sync correctly on my iPad - also running the same latest version of iOS - so I can't see how it would be a problem with the files themselves.
I've tried googling this but it just throws up so many hits that I can't find anyone having the exact same issue.
Any suggestions gratefully received before I tear my hair out.
Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue... The first time I plugged in my iphone it came up as a new iphone and asked me what I wanted to sync, and then I tried to put a bunch of my music on there. It acted like it was syncing, but only put a bunch of empty unplayable reference files on my iphone, nothing I can play. I deleted all of those, and tried to sync my music again, along with some videos. No luck. The files appear as if it recognizes the amount of space my music will take up on the iphone, but when I hit sync it disappears as if it synced in about 1 second, and nothing new is on my phone.
I'm on a PC, quad core, Intel i-7 2.2 Ghz, 8 Gigs of RAM, Windows 7. I don't see any reason that this would be happening based on my system.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Syncing Music and Videos

Since buying the iPad I have been unable to sync music or video. iTunes locks up everytime I try. Gives error message code (-20). Have had tech help from Apple and my Anti virus/Firewall software provider. Added two gigs of RAM. Still having the problem.

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

Syncing music and videos AND Ringtones

Because my phone is synced to a large iTune library, I choose to 'manually manage my music and videos'. However the ringtones I created in garageband that reside in the ringtone section wipe all my music and videos when they are synced and turn off manual music management. When I re-sync my music it removes my ringtones.
How does everyone else manage to get around this issue.
Many thanks

Worked this out on my own sigh. So basically you cann't have manual music management on and have rintones syncing. the way to get around it is to have sync all music on and then only select a single playlist. This way it will sync music to your phone and allow yo to sync ringtones etc.

Getting purchased music and video from itunes

I deleted some music and videos that i purchased from itunes store by accident from my computer. Is there a way that i can retrieve it from the store again without paying for it? I was able to view everything that I purchased but I couldn't find a way to download them again. Thanks
marc

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Syncing audio and video with timecode

What is the best way to sync audio and video files from a one camera shoot on which the camera was jammed with timecode from the mixer? Is there a batch method? Is it best done with a third party application or within Premier?
Camera is Canon C300
Adobe Premier Pro CC
Windows Operating system
The project is a 15 page short film shot over four days. Lots of dialogue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is "merge assets" different from "merge..."? I see the timecode option in "merge...".
Thanks

Issue - syncing Audio and Video Clips

Hi Friends -
Definitely, I am newbie for - editing in this application (Adobe Premier CS6) .
My idea is to sync audio and video clip - 'based on clip markers' or 'based on Audio wave' .
But, in my machine, I dont see option to 'add clip markers' (in Marker Menu) for these clips, which are supposed to merge. And, coming 'based on Audio wave' - I dont even see those options, when I select (both clips to be merged) and choose merge.
Am I missing any setting - Do I need to have any additional plugins for that? Can anyone pls. help regarding that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kireeti.

The audio option wasn't added until Premiere Pro CC.
You can set clip markers in the Source Monitor with the M key.

Sync issues w/ music and video

I'm a proud new owner of a 16GB iPod Touch and absolutely love it. However I have been running into some issues when transferring files from iTunes to the Touch. Transferring Videos or music from iTunes to the ipod appears to work. It shows that they are sync'ed and a transfer is in process. The file (video/audio) shows up on my ipod. But this is where the problem arises, and it's random. I'll play a video on my iPod Touch, and at any point in the video it will just stop playing and go back to the video playlist, like the transfer was incomplete. The same will occur for music. It will show the song/video, the proper length/time of the music/video, but at certain points the song/video cuts out and goes back to the playlist, as if the transfer was cut. I've tried more than 2 iPod cables and all the USB ports on my PC to no avail. If I delete the file, and re-transfer it in iTunes, there's a chance the transfer will complete so it seems like the sync corruption occurs sporratically. Is there any insight as to why this occurs and a possible fix??
Using iTunes 7.4.3 w/ iPod Touch 1.1.1 firmware

I have an Alpine receiver with Parrot bluetooth in my Jeep. Got a new iPhone 3gs with ios4. every time I start the Jeep, I have to enter the BT password and reconnect to the radio from my iPhone. I had a basic Motorola and basic LG phone that automatically synced with the radio every time I turned on the Jeep as long as bluetooth was active on the phone. Also had a Droid X that also auto synced. Just had to pair and connect with the pw the first time I used it. I don't know if this is ios4 related because I didn't have the iphone before.
