Manually manage music and syncing at the same time.

As my music is growing larger, but my iPhone's memory isn't. I change to manually manage musics on the phone. When I change details of the song e.g. adding album artist or lyrics. iTunes doesn't sync it for me. Do I have to manually do this by myself like adding and deleting the old ones every time I make a change.
Another question is that, when I make a change to my playlist or making a new playlist on my laptop, there's nothing happening on my iPhone. Is there a way to make it automatically does that on my phone as well? Or do I have only one choice which is to go back to sync the library?

Just make the changes then add the song to the iPhone.
You don't need to first delete it from the iPhone.
FYI: You can autosync.
Create a playlist then sync only that playlist.
Add/delete from that playlist to change what is on the iPhone.
Any changes will get sync'd automatically.

  • Cannot Select Both "Manually manage music" and "Sync ringtones" for iTunes

    iTunes won't let me sync when both "manually manage music and videos" and "sync ringtones" is checked. If I choose "manage music and videos" first, add my music, then check "sync ringtones" all my music that I sync'd is deleted. The only way it worked for me was to sync the ringtones first without any music in the iPhone then checking "manually manage music and videos" afterwards but the problem is that once the "manual manage music and videos" is checked the "sync ringtones" isn't checked anymore so if I decide to add a ringtone later on I have to check "sync ringtone" causing my music to be deleted from the iPhone. This is a bad glitch Apple please fix it!

    If you manually manage music, to get ringtones on your phone, you have to drag them to the "actual iphone icon" in the device pane window, on the left side in itunes.
    FYI:
    Since the iphone DOES NOT support disk mode(like some ipods), there is no advantage to manually managing music, IMO.

  • Playing Music and Video at the same time

    I would like to play a song from my music collection and while it's playing, play a video that has no audio on it from the video collection.  When I try to do this, one shuts the other off.  I switched the behavior from default to showcase, still no luck.  Is there perhaps an app available on the appstore that anybody knows of that can play an audio on loop and a video on loop at the same time?  

    i found a fix for WoW
    Open the World of Warcraft folder on your hard drive (Default Folder: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft).
    - Open the *** folder.
    - Open the Config.*** file using a text editor, like WordPad.
    Add the following line to the list if it doesn't exist:
    SET SoundOutputSystem "x"
    Set "x" to be 1 first, if it still occurs bump it to 2 and so on up to 4.
    you must restart WoW everytime you change the number.

  • Can't charge and sync at the same time?

    I just bought my iPad 2, and noticed that I can't charge it and sync it at the same time like I can with the iPhone 4. I can if I have it plugged directly into my MacBook, but I use 2 different USB Hubs, and I have the iPad plugged into a hub. Is there a fix for this?
    The iPad is running iOS 4.3.
    The MacBook is running Mac OS 10.6.6

    I have a Griffin PowerDock, and having upgraded the software on my iPhone 3GS to IOS 5.1, I am able to charge and wirelessly synchronise simultaneously.
    I am hoping it will be the same for the iPad that I am planning on buying soon, although this will have to be a wall charge because of the extra power needed by the iPad.
    The fact that IOS 5.0 allows wireless synchronisation will probably stop any further development in this area by Belkin and Griffin.

  • ITunes doesn't give me the option to 'manually manage music and videos'?? Just videos.

    We are trying to sync my iPhone manually. This is normally straightforward but iTunes on my girlfriends computer won't give us the option of ticking a 'manually manage music and videos' option. Only videos? What are we doing wrong?
    iTunes versions is 12. iPhone is 5s.

    Hi there itsthenoise,
    It sounds to me like you are going to the correct place to try and enable manually manage music and videos, but the checkbox only says you can manually manage videos. According to the following article, that sounds like what you would see if you two have iTunes Match enabled. 
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    You can’t manually manage music while using iTunes Match on your device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Cannot manually manage music and video AND sync book, etc.

    Just reset an old iPad2 to give to my son. Reset the thing, then went to sync it to his MBA running Yosemite. When I check "manually manage music and video" in the summary pane of the iPad when it's connected to iTunes, it automatically deselects "sync books" and "sync tones". If I go to reselect those syncing options, it erases the music just put on the iPad2 AND it deselects the "manually manage music and video." What gives?

    Yes, that's the down side of "manually manage music".
    it's probably best to forget about "manually" managing music and just select the music that you want synced and use the "automatic" method.

  • HT201232 Manually manage music and video

    I recently purchased a new iPhone 6 and needed to reload all of my music and videos back on the phone. I have always selected the check box manually manage music and videos. For the music this worked great. However, for the videos I cannot move any videos from my iTunes to my phone. They are all greyed out unless I check the manage videos check box, then it wants to erase everything and start over. How can I get just the videos I want on my new phone without deleting all of the music already on the phone?
    I am using iTunes 12 with a Windows 7 PC.

    Yes, that's the down side of "manually manage music".

    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

  • Unable to manually manage music and videos on iPhone 4 without erase and sync, same computer!

    Ok, so I know you all have heard this before but I do believe my case is rather unique, and quite frustrating.
    I purchased an iPhone 4 and synced it to the same computer I am using now - created the playlist and used it to sync with phone. Worked great for awhile; but one day I contracted some nasty malware and had to wipe my computer and reinstall my OS (Windows 7). Albeit my music library was on my external HDD which survived the onslaught. I obviously had to reinstall iTunes afterwards. The playlist was gone on reinstall.
    Afterwards I still didn't see an issue with my iPhone and iTunes: When I plug it in it syncs, everything seems to be working accordingly.
    But I recently transferred some new music from a CD to my iTunes and wanted to throw those songs on my iPhone, the drag and drop method I was so very used to did not work and I noticed that "manually manage music and videos" was uncheck under my devices summary.
    When I attempt to check this option in iTunes it gives me a popup notification telling me I need to erase and sync in order to use this option because my 'iPhone is synced with another library". Again, I DID have to reinstall iTunes after reinstalling my OS.
    I have tried all the tricks that google could supply me with with no avail; authorizing, stopping the sync from automatically starting.... yada yada - none of these cookie cutter methods have worked for me.
    Here's a too long didn't read:
    >iPhone 4 was working fine - used playlist to sync with.
    >Had to reinstall OS (Windows 7) Playlist gone.
    >Reinstall iTunes.
    >iPhone still syncs with library, no error messages on connect.
    >Unable to manually manage music and videos without erase and sync.
    >None of the usual methods work.

    Hmm, I will say after posting this and looking at the related threads it seems I can only either use manually manage or sync.
    I was using sync before but since the playlist disappeared I was syncing with I simply want to add music to my phone without deleting everything. Is this possible?
    If I use "manually manage music and videos" will it delete everything or just the music and videos? It doesn't specify...
    Could I just create a new playlist and sync it with that? If so how?
    The bottom line is it isn't that big of a deal if I need to simply rebuild my iPhone music library but losing my configuration, contacts etc is not an option. Optimally I would just like to be able to add my new music to my iPhone without having to rebuild my library.

  • Ios7 incorrectly syncs music when "Manually manage music and videos" checked

    iPhone 5 with ios7.0.2
    Mac 10.6.8 with iTunes 11.1.1
    Since installing ios7 iTunes syncs music even though I always have the "Manually manage music and videos" checkbox checked.  Since I don't want to keep the same music on my Mac that I have on my phone, this results in the music on the phone being deleted when I manually drag new music onto it in iTunes.  This happened with the previous version of iTunes, before updating to 11.1.1, and still happens with 11.1.1.
    Other iPhone settings:
    Music: everything off / disabled
    iTunes & App Store: everything off / disabled
    iTunes settings:
    Summary tab: only "Manually manage music and videos" checked
    Music tab: nothing checked or selected
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Then you are the only person I know that can do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. It is restricted by design to one library.

  • Cannot manually manage music and videos without erasing and syncing first

    I have an iPhone 3G bought new from the Apple store using 2.1. Using iTunes 8.0 and checking the "Manually manage music and video" checkbox, iTunes prompts me to "Erase and Sync", no other option is available to me. It was the same when using version 7.7 as well.
    I'm not syncing to another computer, it's the same MacBook I've had for almost a year. How do I get the Library Persistent ID in iTunes to match the iPhone. I have the ID from the iTunes Music Library.xml file. I just need to know where the matching file for the iPhone is so I can make them match.
    The ID doesn't match because I had to rebuild my drive a month ago and my question to Apple (actually Steve) is why can't I sync the other way from the phone to the computer.
    Why does my library on the phone have to be wiped out. Who had the warped thought to come up with this genius idea.

    I cannot express how disappointing this was for me to find out.
    I want my music to be mobile, I don't want to have to copy it to every computer I want to listen to it on. I want to listen to it from the device, and be able to buy a new album at work or at home. This is a major disappointment for me, as every other device I have owned including my iPod Touch had this capability. I could authorize 5 machines and manually sync, and the music on that device could be played and managed on those authorized machines. For example, my wife has her own music collection, and I have mine, but we have a media center connected to our flat-screen in the living room, that we use for playing music when we are entertaining guests, and with our old iPods and iPod Touch devices, we could unplug one of our devices and plug the other persons in and listen to music from both our libraries without copying the music to that computer, as long as we authorized that machine for the both of us. Now with our iPhones there is no way to keep our seperate librarys and be able to play music on multiple computers in our house and at work, which we have always been able to do until our iPhones. The whole point of the iPhone for me was to be able to combine two devices and now because of the lack of this feature I still have to keep all our iPods around too... Dumb. I almost took our phones back because of this, and if apple doesn't fix it, I probably won't buy another. They should have at least mentioned this little fact before selling the devices to us. I know it's a different device, but it's similar enough that you expect it to work the same as the iPod and iPod Touch. It's not like I am wanting to be able to copy music from the device to multiple machines, it's exactly the opposite... I just want to be able to copy music to the device and listen to it at home and at work... why all apples other devices do this, and the iPhone doesn't is completely perplexing to me, and a serious oversight on there part. This pill would not be so hard to swallow if I had been warned about this prior to dropping almost a grand for iPhones for myself and my wife, expecting what I saw as a more advanced device to work at least as good as the other similar devices I own did.

  • "Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

    Hello all,
    I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
    I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
    I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
    Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
    Help, please!

    iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.
