ITunes does not sync playback position between computers

I have a Macbook (10.7) and a Mac Pro (10.8). The same audiobook on both but iTunes on the Macbook doesn't seem to remember where I left off when I was listening on the Pro. I resisted upgrading from 10.6 for a long time but isn't icloud supposed to do this?! I can't find any settings that control this and, yes, the audiobook is set to "remember playback position"
Thanks for your help!

Beast,
This is similar to my question, however I'm talking songs, not audio books, here.
How is it possible to have different "remember playback position" settings for different devices using the same iTunes library?
The example is that the iPod I connect to my car audio always (annoyingly) starts playing the same song whenever the iPod is switched on. I want to use the "remember playback position" setting to to stop this, and instead start playing the song from where it left off previously. I assume I could use a batch change on iTunes to accomplish this. However, I wouldn't want that setting used for other devices.
Thoughts?
Paul

  • Why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    Hey ThierryWillame,
    Thanks for the question. Were these songs purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, see the following resource. If not, follow the same steps for the content, based on how you acquired it (delete and re-add).
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.

  • My problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

    I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
    I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
    Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync.

  • ITunes does not sync my Outlook calendar with my iPhone calendar

    Problem: iTunes does not sync my Outlook calendar with my iPhone calendar.
    Background: The sync was fine until I got the Lenovo 64 bit with Windows 7. I have tried to follow lots of Q/As.
    Dear iTunes / Apple, This must be solved within iTunes, I believe.

  • I reorganised my music organisation totally in iTunes on my Mac (Lion). iTunes does not sync this new artist organisation to the iPod and many albums are divided over several artists. How can I change this?

    I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

  • ITunes does not sync with my previous library

    Hi there, I hope someone could help me out here.
    I have just recently formatted/re-installed Mac OS Maverick on my MBP, and iTunes (v 11.3) was also updated.
    I have moved my previous library and re-directed iTunes (iTune -> Preferences -> Advanced) to the library. However, iTunes does not recognize the library anymore and does not appear in it. Only my iPhone 5 has the records of playlists and songs. For now, when I want to sync the music with my iPhone in iTunes, iTunes will ask to ERASE the entire music library in the iPhone, which I do not want. How can I resolve this thing?
    Thank you very much for any help here. Appreciate it.

    You don't say what exactly you moved.  You don't tell iTunes to use a previous library with preferences, you do it by holding down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and guiding it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you want to use.  A library is everything in the iTunes folder.  Hopefully you copied the entire folder and not just the media files or else you will have to rebuild the library structure from scratch (and erase the phone).

  • ITunes does not sync properly anymore

    When I try sync my iPhone 5 (iOS7.0.3) with iTunes 11.1.2.31 it syncs my apps and co. but actually does not sync my music.
    The music I bought with iTunes is automatically downloaded on all my Apple devices. But when I add those ne songs to playlists on my PC and then connect my iPhone and start the sync, all steps are done, but in the music app, nothing changed. The playslists, to which I add the new songs, still remain same on the iPhone, as if I'd never changed anything...
    Can anyone help me with my problem or does have the same problem?

    So I've been looking for a solution for days. There has been so many problems for the past week.
    - Some songs play counts going up by 6 plays each time I sync
    - Songs not transferring from PC to phone
    - Songs appearing on the phone with download icon
    - When viewing 'What's on this phone' on itunes songs have the 'grey dotted circle of death' next to them
    Now I've deleted an album I bought the other day from iTunes from my PC and it doesn't even appear in my transactions from the past few days, And when I view it in the store it says purchased but there is no option to download it again.
    WHAT A MESS! Apple please fix this ASAP. There are numerous threads with issues that I have stated above and there is not ONE solution.

    Hello, have you made sure that you're signed into iTunes and given authorization for your iphone 4 to sync with your computer? The same thing happened to me when I recently installed iTunes 10.5 after formatting my computer.

  • Itunes does not sync after upgrade to iPhone 5s from 4s, same user id

    I have upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s, but my Windows 8 laptop itunes keeps trying to sync with old iphone 4s (which I do not use anymore) and my new iphone 5s does not sync at all with itunes in Windows 8 laptop. I am using same apple id for iPhone 5s that I used for iPhone 4s. Please help me so that I can sync my iPhone 5s with the existing itunes in Windows 8 laptop.

    Apparently something is not being saved somewhere and this technique forces the save.  Below is a C&P from another poster describing the technique on a different thread.  It's been working for him for some fifteen hours.  I tried it and it's been working but it's been only ten minutes.  My gut feel is that quitting and relaunching iTunes are critical steps.
    With the device connected via cable, click on its icon
    Uncheck WiFi syncing
    Click Apply
    Quit iTunes
    Launch iTunes
    Check WiFi syncing
    Click Apply

  • Itunes does not sync Lost Music resent by Apple

    Hi guys
    I lost some purchased Music in the past. I wrote to Apple who restored it into my Purchased music on Itunes.
    However since then Itunes does not allow me to put these tracks on the Iphone saying I am not authorized to play those in this Computer.
    I emailed Apple again on this problem but they have been utterly useless. They gave me an US number to call when I leave in UK. Really poor support.
    I hope you can help me with this.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Hagrid,
    Try finding one of the songs in itunes library.
    Double click on that song to try and play it in itunes.
    There should be a window that comes up asking you to authorize the computer to play this music.
    Put in your itunes store account name and password, then click authorize.
    Once the song starts playing, stop the song and try syncing to the iphone again.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes does not sync applicatiosn

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem. I bougth new iPhone 3Gs and I bought some applications from iTunes Store on computer but iTunes does'nt sync my application. I tick all of them but it does'nt work. Do you know, how can I handle that?

    Dear Ingo2711
    Thank you for answaring me. Yes I used the advansed option lowest in the info panel and it didn't help, but anyway the problem is solved magically. How? My Mac/iTunes didn´t put any adresses down on my iPod, but Tanjas Mac/iTunes did. For some time I didn't dare to sync adresses with my mac/iTunes, because I was afraid it would mess up something. But one day I did....i thought it could only go wrong, and so what. it was wrong anyway. And magically my mac/Itunes synced with my iPod, just as it needed the information from my iPod og Tanja Mac to get going angain.
    So sigh.....
    What is importent is that we have the same groups and need to have same adresses on both mac´s and ipods. Sometimes it gives a little double up we have to clean manually, and it gave a lot of work the first two days, but now it i quite ok.
    So thank you again for listening and answering the guy above. I could not have answared him like you did.
    With best regards
    Bodthildur

    ipod touch does not sync when plugged into computer.  It charges but does not sync

    If you mean that iTunes does not see the iPod, start here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Otherwise, provide more information about what happens when you try to sync.
