Manually Manage video

With songs, you can manually manage them. Transfering songs to your ipod by dragging them. You can then delete them from your computer to save space and they will still stay on your ipod. Why can I not do this with video? I have 10 GB worth of movies on my ipod and i dont have the room to spare on my computer. You can only automatically update video. Is there any way to do it manually? I need the diskspace.

Right.
However, you cannot manually manage videos and automatically update songs.

"Manually Manage Videos" & "Sync Tones" at the same time?

So, I wan't to sync my ring and text tones manually to my iPad from iTunes as I have some tones that I did not buy from iTunes. I also want to "manually manage videos" synced to my iPad. However, it seems that iTunes will NOT let me choose both at the same time. Am I missing something? Why can't you do both at the same time? Are tones considered video (they have a .m4r extension)?
Thanks in advance.

While I appreciate the link, it doesn't exactly explain why you can't automatically sync Tones while manually managing videos. When you connect an iOS device (that also has iTunes Match enabled) to iTunes 11, the "Manually Manage..." checkbox does not say music as well. It only allows you to "Manually Manage Video", since music is syncing over the cloud via iTunes Match. Thusly, this link does not take into account iTunes Match.
For whatever reason, iTunes must see Tones as part of video, I guess.
But thanks anyways.

I've upgraded my 4th gen ipod to ios6. I manually manage videos and music. My video playlists(which I can access via the music icon) are there but my videos aren't. I can see the videos when tapping the videos icon so I know they are there. Any ideas?

I've upgraded my 4th gen ipod to ios6. I manually manage videos and music as it is easier to access my videos through playlists which I access through the music icon. Since upgrading to ios6 the playlists are there but when I go into them the individual videos aren't visible. I know they are there because I can access them through the videos icon. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Does it still turn on to the Apple logo?
If it does, turn it on and hold it up to your ear. If it's making a clicking sound, try hitting it easy a few times on the side. The idea is the hdd is "stuck" and hitting it loosens it. Just don't do it too hard to break it.

There is no tab that says, manually manage video and music, only one to manage video.

I have an Iphone 5. I want to manually manage my music.

Hello rmblue,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The support article below has directions on how to configure iTunes to manually manage the content on your iPhone.

HT1535 The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes. How do I actually manage music?

Edit: classic Apple.

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

How do I manually manage videos on my iPod Touch?

Hi Everyone,
I'm pretty new to this forum. I've google searched some issues I've had with my iPod and gotten answers here as a guest. This is my first post. I've already tried searching for similar posts using the search bar. So I apologize if this is a repost.
I have a 32GB iPod Touch. I have quite a few movies on it and it is getting quite full. I would like to remove these movies from the iPod without removing them from my iTunes library. When I click 'Manually Manage Music and Videos' in the Summary page for my iPod in iTunes, it doesn't do anything. I go to the movie summary and the only option is whether or not I want to sync my movies.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Charles

Swipe your finger over the movie on your touch. It should then prompt you to delete the movie.

Manually managing videos but not music?

My laptop hard drive is almost full due to the fact that I have little space left for music and video after all my programs and files are factored in. Now, I am planning to purchase an external hard drive to put all of my videos on but I was wondering if I removed them from their location on my laptop if they would be removed from iTunes (as in, iTunes can't find them). I want my laptop to automatically update my music, but I want to manually manage the video on it. Is this possible? The only option iTunes gives me is to manually manage both.

I don't think you understood what I was talking about... I want to take the videos off of my laptop hard drive and move them to an external hard drive, but I want the music to automatically sync when I plug in my iPod, but the videos to be put on manually by me because they won't be located on my hard drive with the music.

Manually manage videos or workaround help please

I have some videos on my iPhone, but I don't have much hard drive space left on my computer so I would really like to move the videos that sync to my iPhone from iTunes to an external drive to free up some much needed gigabites. However if I do this then it seems that because there is no manual way to manage the iPhone's contents the videos that I have on there will be automatically deleted if they aren't in the iTunes library anymore. Is there anyway around this? Thanks a lot for the help.

Skeletorso,
They will not be deleted on your precious. Just point iTunes at your new location and keep your same playlists in your iTunes library and sync them the same way! Great idea to save space and manage you digital music and movies!
Have fun and good luck! Make sure you back up your library prior to moving it to the external HD!

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.
All the very best,
Sterling

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

HT201593 Itunes 12 does not have the "Manually manage music" option

I have itunes 12 and the "manually manage music and videos" is not there. "Manually manage videos" is the only option. I use itunes for work and I NEED a fix. I am unable to drag and drop as well.

Hello there, Jenks855.
When wanting to manually manage content on your iOS device, the Knowledge Base article you were referred from provides some great information and practical steps for troubleshooting:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
Manually add items to your device
Connect your device to your computer.
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Choose the content that you want to add to your device from your iTunes library.
Drag the content to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. A panel should appear. Locate your device.
What if I can't manually add content to or remove content from my device?
To manually manage your content, check to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is turned on. Then:
Connect your device to your computer.
Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
Locate and click on your device.
Click the Summary tab.
Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos."
Click Apply. If you see a message that your device is synced with another library:
iPhone can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
iPad and iPod can add music from multiple iTunes Libraries, but video from only one iTunes Library.
If you choose to manually manage your movies and music with the new iTunes Library, the iTunes content currently on your device will be erased and replaced.
You can’t manually manage music while using iTunes Match on your device.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Manually managing music - Itunes 11.0.1 with iphone 5.

I have no option to Manually Manage Music.
Under the summary tab it only says "manually manage videos".
Any help would be much appreciated

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Cannot delete music from iPod nano (latest generation). Have already selected "Manually Manage music and videos" but delete is unavailable from right click or Edit.

I have done everything I've seen recommended for deleting music (jncluding "manually manage"). Thanks for the assistance!!!

Did you Apply the change after selecting (checking the box for) Manually manage music and videos?
With the latest iTunes, if the sidebar is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, select the iPod under DEVICES. Click the toggle (to the left of iPod) to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under iPod. Click on Music there. Over to the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. You can select songs there, right click on them, and select Delete from the contextual menu. You can also select songs there, go up to the menu bar, and select Delete under Edit. You can also select songs there, and just press the Delete key on the keyboard.
If you want to use automatic syncing, which is far more convenient than the manual method, and easily manage content on the iPod (add and remove songs), please post back.
