ITunes not adding / deleting in with iOS7: do I have to click Sync every time?

I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) and iTunes 11.1.3.8.
I am running into problems when I drag music or audiobooks from my iTunes library to my iPhone.
1. I originally dragged an audibook to my phone and it stayed "greyed out" in iTunes. The circle next to the file that indicates how much of it has downloaded to the phone did not change. This was resolved by clicking "Done" and then "Sync" in iTunes. I do not want to have to do this every time I add a file.
2. I deleted multiple audiobooks in iTunes. They no longer appear in iTunes, but they do appear on the phone. Again, the problem was resolved by clicking on Sync in iTunes.
Ultimately, I do not want to have to click Sync every single time I manage the music on my phone. It takes substantially longer than it did with iOS6.
Is there any way around this?
Many thanks!

It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • My ipad will not rememeber my wi fi password. I have to enter it every time I turn it on.

    Every time I turn my ipad 4 on, I have to reenter my home network password. The ipad will not connect automatically to it even though I have connected to it many times.

    1. Try Settings > Wi-Fi > tap your wireless SSID > Forget this Network.
    2. Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    3. Setup your Wi-Fi again, but this time DO NOT USE the automatic SSID list, use Other... and key in SSID and password manually.

  • Does Apple TV have to automatically sync every time I open itunes?

    It took over 10 hours to sync iTunes with my apple tv. Every time I open up iTunes on my computer, the Apple TV automatically starts syncing with iTunes. When I try to cancel the syncing process, it says I will lose everything on my Apple TV. Is there any setting that will allow me to sync my Apple TV with iTunes only when I want to update it? HELP! I don't have time to do this every time I open up iTunes!

    It shouldn't take that long everytime.
    When it first syncs yes...but after that, iTunes will "sync" when opened but only does a quick check for changes in content and will update only files that need to (put new ones on, take old movies off depending on how you have your settings).
    But really shouldn't take long after that first time unless maybe it never finished the first time.

  • Firefox 8.0 opens with page size I have to zoom x4 - every time.

    Every time I open Firefox or Gmail, the page is way too small. I have to hit Control+ four times for it to go back to the size it was before I upgraded to 8.0. This happens EVERY time on opening.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • How can I connect the iTunes in my iPad (now with iOS7) to my Power PC Mac?

    How can I connect the iTunes in my iPad (now with iOS7) to my Power PC Mac?

    Nope, the top OS version for the IBM processor is 10.5.8, and under that version I can not update the iTunes further than the 10.6.3 :-(
    But that means the brand leaves a large chunch os costumers with still perfectly operating computers out of the loop on purpose, so to force us to upgrade computer?
    Not fair at all, both are legitimate Apple products, they should sync no matter what! The sad thing is theu used to, before I migrated to iOS7 on the iPad, move that I now regret...

  • How do delete cookies with ios7 on I-phone and I-pad ?

    How do you delete cookies with ios7 on I-phone and I-pad  ?

    Cheers for that but what I really meant was when you double click your home button you used to be able to keep your finger on one of the apps for 2 seconds and they all would have a cross on them and you could delete them now you can't ? , not delete the app completely just close the app  properly to save your battery

  • I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 225GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything, Help!

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 250GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything.

    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed.
    I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.  Seagate Backup Plus Right now the 1T is more than the 2 & 3T drives
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB $99.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    USB 3.0 is 10x faster than USB 2.0
    Thunderbolt is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
    Format new drives with Apple's Disk Utility rather than the software that come with the drive.
    My plan was to rid a lot of the stuff I have on my computer (to a hard drive) anyhow once it had backed up.
    I wound't necessarily backup those files to Time Machine. I would copy to the external drive then delete from computer. Only backup to Time Machine the data you would want to restore to your Mac if there was a problem. The backup will go much faster this way. Time Machine backup is slower than just copying data in my experience.

  • Hello I can not get Wi-Fi in iOS7. I have iPhone 4S.

    Hello I can not get Wi-Fi in iOS7. I have iPhone 4S.I can not turn it on.

    Restore the device with itunes and setup as new and test the wifi issue.  IF it is still greyed out then you need to get the device in for service

    There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

    The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa
