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!

Hello,I have downloaded photos from my ipod touch following the instructions but it doesn't download videos.Can you help please?
doesn't download videos
I seen so many of these post for windows users.
Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files.
Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes.
Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
HOPE THIS HELPS. -
"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 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.

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.

Take care,

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. -
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.

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.
CharlesSwipe 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.

}OK .
now I am not getting previous errors.
But now I am getting null pointer exception on clicking the Start button.
Even the file is created.(56 kb)
On your advice I displayed the player and filewriter and got following things
(after clicking start and same even when created in the constructor)
Data Sink started com.sun.media.datasink.file.Handler@1fdc96c
Processor started com.sun.media.processor.unknown.Handler@186d4c1If you find something please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
This shows that processor is having some problem and cant render. While file is created and the println statement shows Data sink object is working fine. -
