ITunes ignoring my sync settings

Since I updated to 7.7.1 iTunes has been syncing everything in the podcast directory despite me selecting the option to only sync unplayed podcast and also going through and selecting specific podcast series to sync. How do I fix this problem? I have tryed uninstalling 7.7.1 and reinstalling 7.7.0 but it didn't help.

Even with podcast set not to sync at all, podcast are still syncing. I have tryed deleting iTunes preference folders.

  • ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

    Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
    Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
    But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
    All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
    Environment:
    - MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
    - Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

    Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
    What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
    Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
    If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

  • Photos synced with iPhoto (through iTunes) ignore edits (syncs original)

    Not sure if this should go here, or in the iPhoto forum...
    I edited a batch of photos in iPhoto and put them in an Album. I setup iTunes to sync that Album with my iPhone. All the photos now appear on the phone, however the images on the phone are the "original" photos, not the edited versions that appear in the Album when viewing in iPhoto.
    So, the photos in the iPhoto Album are not the photos that get synched to my iPhone.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Why does iTunes forget my automatic backup and Wi-Fi Sync settings?

    Every single time I hook up my iPad, the settings for Automaticlly Back Up and Sync with this device over Wi-Fi are unchecked.
    I switch from "This Computer" to iCloud and turn Wi-Fi Sync back on and hit the SYNC button on the bottom right to apply the settings.
    When I disconnect and reconnect the iPad, the settings are back how there were before; backup to This Computer and Wi-Fi Sync turned off.
    I'm going to ignore everyone that suggests to Restore the device. That is unacceptable. There seems to be an issue in either the iPad or iTunes' files on the local computer.
    Thank you for everyone's help.

    Hey alextiming
    I will not tell you to restore your iPad, but if Wi-Fi Syncing is not working for you, check out the following article to help troubleshoot and resolve that issue.

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

  • How to remove duplicate entries from Settings General iTunes Wi-Fi Sync?

    On my iPhone under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync there is a duplicate entry for my Mac. One is active, the other one shows options greyed out, as if it can't see the Mac on the network (although it's the same name). Is there a way to manually remove that entry from the iPhone?
    I am running iOS 7.0.4, and OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.3 on the Mac.

    iPhone 3G doesn't support Wi-Fi sync or IOS 5.1.1. You have to connect to iTunes using the dock connector to sync.
    Unless you have a iPhone 3GS or jailbroken.

  • HT2188 Unable to see Wi-Fi status. After Settings General iTunes Wi-Fi Sync it displays "Sync will resume when R300764 AHWR001 is available". This has happened ever since I got my iPhone 3G  3 months ago. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Unable to see Wi-Fi status after connecting to power source.  After tapping Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, the message reads: Sync will resume when "R300764AHWR001" is available. Could someone tell me how to sync my iPhone 3G to ITunes, please? Thank you. Jan

  • How to change sync settings in iTunes

    How do you change sync settings in iTunes? I want to be able to connect my iPhone to iTunes and not have my iPhone automatically sync information to/from my computer and iPhone.

    At least taking a glance through the iPhone user guide may be a good idea for you especially if you don't know how to change your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes, select your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list. The various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes will be available in the main iTunes window.

  • ITunes 10.6 freezes when changing sync settings

    Update to iTunes 10.6 on Windows 7 computer today.  Now when I try to change my sync settings, and hit "apply" - iTunes freezes and the sync does not complete.  I have already tried to factory reset the iPod Nano, and tried to totally uninstall and reinstall iTunes.  Any other suggestions?

    Uninstall/Reinstall did not work. Same issue with freezing as soon as it's launched.
    Just to confirm, this is 10.6.3 64-bit Windows build.

  • My iTunes match wont sync to my iPhone 5.. Ive tried resetting the match, settings ,etc.  What do I do?!

    Can't get my iTunes match to sync over to my iPhone 5.. Any suggestions?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Where are iTunes sync settings stored?

    After upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, the sychronization settings it iTunes appear to have been reset on my Macbook Pro. Another strange thing about this "reset" is the only settings affected were those for Music and Video.
    I had updated several apps on the Macbook and needed to sync those apps to my iPhone, as well as a couple purchased on the iPhone since my last sync with the Mac. So ... I connected my iPhone to the Macbook, and after reconizing my phone the "Sync" button became activated. Since I was on the Summary page, I suspected no changes, as I had made none, and the Capacity bar was full to about .2GB Free, as expected. I pressed the "Sync" button as usual.
    Somewhere between steps 1 and 2 (or during step 2), the Capacity bar dropped  to Green, Yellow and a sliver of Orange with 23.2GB Free?!? Whassup?? As there was no method (I am aware of short of powering down the laptop) to pause/stop sync in progress, which I suspect would be dangerous anyway, I was forced to let it complete. After it finished. I checked my iPhone and the music and videos had all been removed. When I examined the sync settings in iTunes, I noticed the Sync Music and Sync Movies check boxes were selected. All other check boxes below them for Music: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genre, Include music videos; and Movies: Movie Names, had mysteriously been unselected.
    Since all my files are still in the proper folders on the Macbook Pro, and I use Time Machine, I am not concerned about file loss. What I am concerned with is how did this happen and where are these settings stored, so I do not have to go through ehem all and reselect each and every one to prevent this from recuring in the future. The technician and his manager could not find the location of these settings, as we tried replacing an older version from Time Machine to no avail.
    Could anyone please tell me where the Synchronization settings in iTunes are stored, so I might be able to recover the proper file and not have to reselect each sub-selection to return my music and videos to the iPhone? I can Restore my iPhone from the backup just prior to the Sync; however, these does nothing to prevent the incorrect iTunes Sync settings from removing my music and video next time to transfer/sync upgraded apps.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance. For more details see below regarding OS, iTunes and iPhone versions.
    Sincerely,
    Wynne Hunkler
    OS:          10.7.5 (Lion)
    iOS:          6.0 (10A403)
    iTunes:     10.7 (21)

    I think the device stores those selections along with which library they belong to. That's why you get the prompt to erase and reload with a different library. If you had restored the backup taken immediately before the upgrade that would probably have restored your selections.

  • Different sync settings for 2 aTVs from 1 iTunes library

    Is it possible to have separate sync settings for 2 different aTVs using the same itunes library?
    I'd like to view movies and TV shows only from the aTV in my bedroom but I'd like to see all my iTunes content on the aTV in my den? Is this possible without streaming? Can the iTunes library sync one way with the den aTV and a different way with the bedroom aTV?

    Yes, absolutely.

    Your only limitation here would be the size of the tv HDD, if your library is larger than the space on the tv drive then you will need to stream some content.

  • Itunes/apple tv continuously losing the photo sync settings

    Folks,
    I have a large music collection synced to my apple tv from itunes. No issues with the music syncing.
    Similarly I have nearly 40Gb of photos (~18000 images) synced. I don't use iphoto to manage these and hence I don't sync from iphoto. Instead I've opted to sync photos from a specified folder (~/Pictures/ATV) on my macbook. iTunes is then configured to sync the contents of this folder to the Apple TV.
    When I make changes to this folders contents, I then run iTunes to have it sync these to the Apple TV.
    However it often forgets that I'm syncing photos from this folder.. meaning that when I start itunes, the apple sync will take place and no pictures are transferred.. checking the photos tab of the device shows the Sync from Folder option unchecked (the folder itself is still selected in the combo list).. re-checking it will prompt to confirm syncing photos and then reactivate the syncing. But this wipes all photos from the Apple TV and then starts to resync the entire 40Gb of photos again which takes hours.
    It seems that when small changes are made to the folder contents, that it still works. But larger changes such as deletion of one or more of the existing folders or adding of one or more new folders causes the problem.
    This is a bag of pain! Either itunes can sync to the ATV from a folder or it can't. I don't want to use iPhoto.. I don't like it, it takes too long to import photos.
    So can someone please tell me if this is a bug with photo folder syncing from itunes and/or Apple TV or if others have experienced the same kind of problem.
    Thanks,
    Cormac

    Hi Cormac,
    Since I upgraded to iTunes 9.0.3, I have exactly the same problem, even if I'm using iPhoto.
    Each times, once I closed iTunes, when I reopen it and the sync with my Apple TV and iPhone begin, both units lose all my pictures (like you, around 15,000 images)... :o(
    Apparently, this "bug" (more on this below), appears only when you choose to sync all your events, pictures, faces... If you choose a little partial sync (like 5 last events), the bug is not in effect (at least for me).
    And yes, I called that the bug because we had a similar issue with a previous version of iTunes (9.0 or 9.0.1, I believe). Apple admitted it was a bug and the problem was fixed with the next version. Apparently, they broke it again with iTunes 9.0.3! :o(
    The weird thing is, though, I cannot find anybody else on the Net, other than you and me having the same issue.
    Sorry I didn't bring a solution to you but now, at least, you know you are not alone and will not spend hours and hours trying to figure what's wrong with your computer...
    It is becoming annoying though that Apple is becoming like Windows. They fix something on one side but broke something else on the other...
