Manual wifi itunes sync?

You can manually sync an ipad with itunes using a cable. That way you can, for example, just add two songs to the ipad or delete one movie from the ipad and replace it with another. Can you also manually sync over wifi?
I don't want to set up wifi syncing and have it do a full automatic sync, so thought I'd check first.
To turn on wifi syncing, do you just connect with a cable, then click wifi sync?

Here are screen shots of my ipad and itunes:
Before connecting ipad to computer, go to itunes preferencces and choose this box under devices:
Once ipad is open in itunes, choose this box:

How do I get wifi iTunes sync working?

I assume there is a bug here that needs fixing before this works but I figured I'd ask if anyone has a home remedy for my problem. I'm trying to set up wi-fi syncing between my PC(Windows 7) and iTunes and it's just not working. I plugged my phone into comp and went to iTunes. Checked the box on the summery page allowing wi-fi syncing on my phone, applied changes and ejected. It didn't think I had set up the connection yet so I restarted iTunes and my phone and it didn't work. I have killed the AppleMobileDevice helper process on my computer and went through the steps again to set it up and still no luck. I turned firewall off and made sure that my phone and comp were on the same wifi network but still nothing. It just keeps saying on my phone that I need to enable wi-fi syncing with iTunes. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem that I haven't tried yet? Thx much.

I had set up the connection yet so I restarted iTunes and my phone and it didn't work. I have killed the AppleMobileDevice helper process on my computer and went through the steps again to set it up and still no luck.
What steps did you take to set it up again?

For iCloud, you need to use your actual email address as the ID, not something else.

Songs Purchased on iPod Touch WiFi iTunes Store Will not Sync Back to PC

I bought a few songs on the WiFi iTunes store on my iPod Touch today. When I connect the iPod to the computer, it syncs as normal, but the songs I bought are not transferring over. I tried right clicking on the iPod section and pressed "Transfer Purchases" but still nothing happened. The songs are still on the iPod, the computer is just for some reason not seeing them.
Help?

When Apple designed the first iPod, they decided to screw people over by making sure the iPod could not be used as a mobile storage/transfer device. To summarize, Apple made it so that an iPod with a lot of music can't transfer its music to an empty iTunes library as to keep people from getting music for free. (Obviously, Limewire was not created at that time.)

Manually open iphone sync in itunes... HOW??

I have turned off the "auto-sync" option in iTunes, so that every time I plug in my iphone, it won't automatically sync, and it will allow me to sync manually at my discretion. When auto-sync is turned ON, iTunes starts automatically when the phone is plugged in, and it opens to the appropriate iphone sync screens, specifically the Summary tab. However, it doesn't work this way when auto-sync is turned off. Somehow, you have to open the sync screens in itunes manually. But.... HOW???
How do I get to that iphone Summary tab when I want to sync manually?? I plug my phone in, and I manually start iTunes, but I am not seeing any choices or options to open the iphone "Summary" tab. It is nowhere to be found!. I have navigated all over that program trying to find how to open the iphone sync screens, and I cannot find a way! Help!! Anybody....?

in iTunes clikc on the name of your device "john smiths iPhone" - should be listed on the left side of the screen where your library, purchased music, videos, playlists, etc. When you click it opens the iPhone's "info" tab and you can get there from there.

Can I sync my ipad with my wifes itunes and download her apps in addition to mine?

I would like to add applications from my itunes and my wifes itunes account to my ipad 2. Is that possible?

Contrary to the 2 above comments, iTunes content acquired from the iTunes Store can be shared with 5 other authorized computers. You may only sync an iOS device to one iTunes account, but you can share the content acquired by one iTunes Store account with other iOS devices.
The first thing that you and your wife need to do is to open iTunes and go to Preferences/Devices and check the box for Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Now you have control of your iOS device when it is connected to the other's account.
If you want the apps from your wife's iPad, connect the iPad to the computer and iTunes app to which you sync your iPad. Control click or right click her iPad's name in the iTunes devices list in the left column and choose Transfer Purchases. All purchased iTunes content on her iPad will by transfered to your iTunes account. After the transfer is complete, detatch her iPad and go to Authrize This Computer in the iTunes Store menu. Enter her Apple ID and password for her iTunes Store account and Authorize. Now all of her content is available to you and any iOS device which you sync to your iTunes account. You can do the same in reverse with your iPad for her.
The one thing to remember is that these are still her apps or your apps. So these apps can only be updated with the account that acquired them. If you open iTunes and see that there are apps with updates, to update your apps log into your iTunes Store account. To update her apps, log into her iTunes Store account. If you see apps to update but after logging into your iTunes Store account you are told there are no updates for you, then you know that the apps that have updates are hers.

HT1202 Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1?

Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1? The copy and paste AND drag and drop methods don't seem to work any more. Why does Apple make itunes so hard to use?

Thanks, but no dice. When I check Maunal manage, I get the dialog about erasing the phone and syncing to this computer. The only thing I can think of is to make sure my home machine is also set to manual sync. Although, I was able to manual sync just fine until I upgraded itunes to 11.0.1

Have never been able to backup iTouch in iTunes sync. Error message says that a session cannot be started. Have tried manual backup - same message. Thanks for any advice!

How to delete songs (purchased from wifi itunes store) finally?

Hello,
i have recently purchased some songs from the wifi itunes store on my iPod touch, but i don't want them on my iPod and in my iTunes anymore. I already deleted them from my iTunes, but every time i sync it, the songs keep coming back to my iTunes instead of deleting it from my iPod.
My iTunes settings are set to not automatically download any purchases as well as the store settings on my iPod for automatic downloads are off.
If I sync my iPod with my iTunes library, I get the question whether I want to transfer the purchases to my library and if not, they'll be deleted from my iPod. As this is exactly what i want, I ticked "don't transfer purchases".
But these songs still keep coming back to my itunes library!
Can anyone please help how to delete these songs? Thanks a lot in advance!
iTunes for Windows 7: 10.5.1.
iPod touch 4G 8GB iOS 5.0.1.

I think you have to remove the same song manually from any device this is transferred to before the next sync.
I know this is annoying and makes things complicated. Apple should look into this and find a "simple" and "elegant" solution about this (and other similar syncing issues) cause if you have more than 2 devices is hard to manage them and Apple was supposed to make things "simple" and not complicated and harder to manage.

Itunes sync stopped working a while back

Itunes Sync with my iphone stopped working properly ever since I upgraded to my IPHONE5... way back. At the time I had to do the steps below in order to get all my music to sync over.
Backup and then Restore to factory settings
restore my phone from the backup
This process takes forever in my case because I have many apps and about 2000 songs
There had to be a less painful method. Seems the problem is rooted in the fact that Itunes thinks there are songs on the Iphone when they actually are not.
The next time I had to go through this I came up with the method below... a little more involved but at least it took about 2hours compared to 8hours due to the time taken to reload my apps.
Uncheck the sync music in the Itunes summary. (also uncheck the sync books, and sync photos - upload your photos to the cloud first)
Wait for the audio files stored in the summary bar to go down to zero. If it doesn't quite make it and if you still have songs on the phone delete manually.
Start Itunes match on my phone (in case the number of songs to manually delete is overwhelming)
reboot my phone
Stop Itunes match on the phone
Reboot my phone (all this in an effort to make sure ITUNES realizes there are no songs left on my phone)
If there are any songs, books or movies on my phone the delete manually shouldn't be too many at this point.. in my case less than 100 songs.
Delete audio books, movies, and photos
Reboot my mac/pc
Reboot my phone (one more time to make sure)
At this point your phone should be clean
Itunes should agree and indicate in the summary bar that no songs, books, music videos, and photos are on the phone.
Uncheck automatically sync in the summary
Uncheck sync over wifi
Be sure itunes match on the phone is off
reboot the phone
reboot the mac/pc
start Itunes
plug your phone into the mac/pc
select sync with books (if any)
If that goes well, after your books are synced then...
Select sync music and music videos in the summary tab
this should go well....
sync your photos... I personally decided to leave them in the cloud
never sync your phone with your itunes again... lol.. otherwise you have to go through this whole process again.
now with my IPHONE 6plus... my itunes library just on it's own started gettiing messed up even though I just plugged the phone into my mac without syncing.
Soo.... reluctantly I will have to go through this process again.
By the way,... if it doesn't work... you're looking at the first method I described which involved the restore of the phone.
In either case... never auto or wifi sync your phone again with Itunes...Unless they someday decide to address this issue.

I don't know why it would not be there, so thescreenshot I inserted will probably not be of much use. However, this is what it looks like on my computer (see inserted image) .
As far as the location of the folder and file, the following is precisely where it is located:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
Just now, when looking for it on my computer, I initially made the mistake of not looking for or going to the "common files" folder. Do you have this folder and did you look in it if so?
This probably will be of no help to you, but I hope that it will.

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.
