ITunes 9 syncing

Hey im new to the forums so i don't know if anyone else has had this problem.
Whenever I plug my iphone (os 3.1) into itunes and go to the application bar, the 'sync' box is always unchecked. This means that I have to check the box and all the apps that i want on my phone everytime I use iTunes. It also means that I lose all my data that was saved in the apps (for example, my saved games).
The forum won't let me put in a higher os than 3.0.1 so I'll leave it at that.
I appreciate any help on this subject.

i know no one was going to answer but I got it any way

  • My iPhone doesn't sync to iTunes, iTunes syncs back to my phone

    I tried to sync my iPhone 3G but instead of syncing all my new songs and folders to iTunes, iTunes synced back to my phone. Lost over 200 songs and all my folders. Use my phone in my fitness classes, all of my folders were set up with my songs for certain classes, at least 6 months of work got lost. Also, I have over 40 apps, non of them shows up in my iTunes store. Very frustrating
    Please help, iTunes and iPhone giving me an ulcer and sleepless nights! Can I get my lost folders/songs/apps back? And how can I do that? How can I avoid this happening again?

    The iPhone, like all iOS devices, is not and has never been a backup device.
    If content is missing from the computer, copy it from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.
    Not syncing regularly is simply asking for problems.
    Devices are easily lost, stolen, or simply fail.  In your case, had your device simply failed or been lost you would be out of everything.
    Unfortunately, if they are not on the device or in iTunes on the computer they are gone.
    The only reason syncing would cause them to "disappear" is because this is not the computer the device is synced with.
    I would strongly encourage you to read the User's Guide to better understand how the device is designed to be used.

  • ITunes syncing my podcasts to a different iPod

    We have an iMac running Mac OS X (Tiger). I have a 5G 30GB iPod and my son has a 4GB Nano. Each of us has our own account (mine is the admin. account) and our own separate music libraries in iTunes.
    Once when I was working under my account, I wanted to charge his Nano's battery. When I plugged it into our Mac, I got the message stating that his iPod was synced to another account. My options were to either erase his Nano and sync it to my library or to cancel. Naturally, I selected "CANCEL". But interestingly enough, the podcasts I subscribed to started to sync to my son's Nano. Once the sync was complete, I checked my son's Nano and, sure enough, there they were.
    So, not wanting my 8-year old to hear the exploits and musings of those wacky madcaps at "beer.com", I logged off my account, logged on as my son, plugged in his Nano, synced up with iTunes, deleted the podcasts from iTunes, synced up again and finally set the parental lock to disable podcasts. All is well.
    Now whenever I plug in his Nano to charge it when my account is active, the same message comes up as before. When I select "CANCEL", iTunes still shows the podcasts syncing to my son's Nano but (as near as I can tell) they aren't actually getting there. I still make a habit of checking just to make sure they don't get there.
    My questions are: Have I got something set wrong somewhere to cause iTunes to try to sync podcasts to my son's Nano, or is this just the way iTunes works? Why does iTunes show podcasts syncing to the Nano when I have both disabled podcasts on the Nano AND selected not to sync it to my iTunes library? Is the parental control to disable podcasts only a part of the iTunes software and not the Nano itself? In other words, can my iTunes library not tell that my son's Nano is not supposed to get podcasts, or is syncing podcasts simply based on the iTunes settings for the active account irrespective of whose iPod is plugged in at the time?
    Right now it is not a big issue as all podcasts are currently disabled on his account. If he ever wanted to subscribe to some more age-appropriate podcasts, however, then I assume I'll be able to set something somewhere to keep the more adult-themed material from getting on to his Nano irrespective of whose account is active when I plug in his Nano to charge it. The other options, of course, are to only plug in his Nano to the Mac when his account is active or to charge it from a plug-in.
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on this issue.
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Sorry I forgot to ask How. Do I export the library? When I choose this my only choice is a .txt file. Or do I backup the whole library.
    As much info. as possible would be appreciated
    Thanks

  • No iTunes sync over VPN

    I would like to do an iTunes sync over VPN but this doesn't work.
    Has anyone ever done this?
    I set up VPN service on my 10.6 server and VPN works fine, I can VPN on from an outside computer to my network w/ no issue and see my network.
    When I VPN to my network on my iPad or iPhone, I get connected and the device gets an ip but I can't initiate a iTunes sync.
    Was this just not meant to be? It should.

    I'm working on trying to figure this out too.  I have a working VPN setup.  To sync itunes, I am thinking that the itunes on the remote computer must have an itunes library that points to the main itunes library on the host computer.  I think I have changed my itunes library on my remote computer to the library on the host via Preferences and the Advanced tab.  There is a place there to change the location of your itunes library.  When I click change, I can navigate to the itunes media location on the host.
    I am syncing now, and will be able to confirm the results tomorrow when I have access to the host.  Hopefully the sync won't have messed something up.  But, I am thinking this is working...

  • Anyone else having problem with RAID and iTunes syncing photos in Vista?

    Hello,
    For whatever reason iTunes can not load some of the photos from C drive. It can do it from D drive, though VERY slow. Both C and D are NTFS system, but C is a RAID 0 drive (implemented by hardware on motherboard, Intel 82801G controller). I just wander if this is something related to iTunes not working correctly with RAID drivers, or is it something else? I should say that ALL other programs and games working fine on this drive.
    Thanks for the replies.

    The problem is with Windows Vista using the NTFS file system, check out this post for the official solution. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it:

    We have two iPads. mine is the first one purchased. I opened iTunes to put some photos from the Mac to my wife's iPad.

  • I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

  • I have DELETED calendars showing in my iTunes Sync Calendars list!?

    iMac late 2009
    OSx 10.10.2
    iPhone 6 Plus
    iOS 8.1.3
    Completely Up to Date!
    no clouds involved, no calendar subscriptions.
    I have had a major problem with my Calendar's calendars, which I have completely repaired using Calendar.  During that process, I had to rename a number of calendars in order to keep track of what I was doing - an intermediate diagnostic step.  Once I'd gotten everything right, exported all the "good" calendars to .ics files, and deleted ALL CALENDARS - both the good ones and the intermediately named ones -  then imported the .ics files back into Calendar... leaving me with ONE FULL SET OF CLEAN CALENDAR data.  When I open Calendars on my mac, I see 33 calendars listed on the left side of the window.
    My problem now that I'm ready to put my calendars back onto my phone, is that my Calendars Library (library/calendars) still has many of the intermediate calendar files (that have NOT been DELETED) and in iTunes, the list of Calendars includes all these same intermediate calendars, as well as the new calendars that I want to transfer to my phone.  I would prefer to "select" "ALL CALENDARS" but I can't do that until I can remove the calendars that were supposed to be deleted/removed in the first place.  In other words, I have 33 good, clean Calendars, but there are 71 Calendars in my Calendar Library.
    What are the correct steps to remove the Library/Calendars folder so that the iTunes "Sync Calendars" list only shows the 33 good calendars, and not the 38 unwanted (deleted) calendars.
    What do I have to do to finish the job?

    I have/had the same problem. I tried deleting all the "Library" "Calendar" preference files I could find and like others nothing worked. Like others they would just recreate themselves.
    BUT, I did find the solution. Not sure which part worked, but this is what I did.
    I quit all the apps, Calendar, and iTunes.
    I went into the folder pointed to by job-seeker above:
                   <user>
                   Library
                   Containers
                   com.aple.CalendarAgent
                   Data
                   Library
                   Calendars
    Manually went through each cached calendar folder and looked in the info.plist for the calendar title listed below "<key>Title</key>" and deleted the parent folders of no longer existent calendars.
    Then find an app called "Reminders", open it and you will find all the deleted calendars that you have deleted over the years, they seem to get cached in it, delete them and quit.
    Relaunch iTunes and find the deleted calendars in question are gone.
    I think you could skip all the above and just try deleting the old calendars from this Reminder app and it may work, but the above is what I did when it worked for me and I do not want to recreate the problem just to verify my theory. ;-)
    Hope this helps,
    Michael

  • Can the contact data base be overwritten by an IPad  on ITunes sync?

    We have two IPad minis and two IPhone5s.  My wife has updated and purged msny of the hundreds of contacts on he IPad.  We have one user ID.  I sync her IPad and her iphone on my Mac Book Pro where the Contact file resides.
    How do I overide with her IPad the resident Contact file on the Mac?  Does the ITunes sync recognize the different devices and their respective Contact files?
    Does the order of syncing impact what is recorded on each device?
    I am trying to seperate her contact info from mine.  Is that possible?
    Thank you for any help and insight on solving this problem.

  • ITunes Syncs Podcasts to iPhone - Podcast App only Shows 1

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing an odd bug with Podcasts that I'll try to explain as succinctly as possible.
    There is a local radio show that I manually download from their website and listen on the Podcasts app through my iPhone.  Typcially, I download the MP3 of the daily broadcast, copy into iTunes, change the "Media Kind" to "Podcasts" and sync with my iPhone.  It's worked fine for a year.
    However, since doing a clean install of Mavericks and iTunes, it's been acting wacky.  In this example, let's say I have 5 episodes of the radio show from last week.  They're named by their air date (10-28-2013, 10-29-2013, etc.), and look fine within iTunes.  When I sync them to my iPhone, I can see on the progress bar that all 5 episodes copy over.  But when I open up the Podcasts app, all I see is the newest epside (11-01-2013).  If I try to play that episode, it says it is playing the 11/1 episode, but it ends up playing one of the other 4 episodes.
    I've tried unsyncing Podcasts through iTunes (so everything is deleted from my phone), and then synching again.  Same problem.  I've also tried unsyncing, deleting the Podcasts app, and then reinstalling the app.  Same problem.
    Any thoughts or ideas on what I should try next?  Is there a cache or library file on my phone or Mac that I need to reset?  Thanks!

    After a lot of troubleshooting, I found a fix.  It seems the newest versions of the Podcast app rely heavily on ID3 tags, so you've got to have a bare minimum of tags set in order for the app to properly recognize them. 
    To get started, you'll need an ID3 editor.  I used this one.  http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
    Before you import the MP3 file into iTunes, open it in the ID3 Editor and adjust the following tags...
    1) Starting on the "Standard" tab, make sure "Enable V2 tag" is checked, and you have something for Title, Artist, Year, Genre ("Podcast").
    2) Still on the "Standard" tab, if "Enable V1 tag" is selected, go ahead and de-select it.
    3) On "Extended" tab, add a date to "Released" in the following format - YYYY-MM-DD
    4) On "Podcast" tab, make sure the "Enable podcast tab" box is checked.  Then, enter any website under "Identifier" and "Feed."  I just used http://www.google.com 
    After setting those tags, just click on the "Update" button, and you can now import the file into iTunes, sync with your iDevice, and the Podcasts app should stop acting a fool.

  • I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress."  where did this window go, and how do I get it back?

    Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc.  Where did it go, and how do I get it back?  Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off.  (Nice).

    Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
    With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

  • "Itunes sync. 55 items could not be synced. See itunes for more information

    I am having problems syncing songs from cds onto my ipod from itunes.
    I upload a cd onto my itunes account and it clearly works there and plays but when I plug in my ipod and click and drag the songs onto my device, itunes makes a weird noise and a message shows up on my ipod saying “Itunes sync. 56 items could not be synced. See itunes for more information” And, of course, there’s never anything on itunes to help me.
    Last time I did this, three of the 25 songs from the cd I wanted synced played on my ipod, and none of the others. Sometimes, if I do this enough, over the course of a few weeks, I can get the whole CD onto my ipod.
    The weirdest part is that the songs show up on my Ipod, but they are shaded over almost and cannot be played. It’s irritating.
    My Ipod is 4G and is in need of the latest update, but last time I updated my Ipod, all the songs were deleted and I had to resync all of them…so you can see why I’m hesitant to do this.
    My Itunes on the other hand, is all up to date.
    I just want my music please!

    Were they purchased with the SAME Apple ID you have registered the phone with?

    You can re-download your apps and ibooks purchases via your purchase history in iTunes on your computer (assuming that it's version 10.3+), and if you are in the USA then you can also re-download music I think - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For music that you ripped from CDs or bought from a source other than iTunes then, assuming that you made/maintained one, you can copy them from your backup - and backups are relatively easy to maintain, so there is no reason not to have one (especially as content is occasionally removed from iTunes so isn't always available for re-download). Otherwise there may be third-party programs that can copy them off the iPad, but you can't do it via iTunes - this post from a year ago was about iPod/iPhone to computer utilities but some might work with the iPad : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11646661?messageID=11646661&#11646661 .
    If you've got content in other apps that you want to copy back to your computer then you might be able to do via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab in iTunes, or they might have wifi transfer capability.
