Manually sync videos but auto sync music?

Anyone know how to do this? When I uncheck the "sync videos" command on ipod preferences, it erases all my videos from my ipod and won't let me manually drag the ones I want onto it.
If I check the "manually manage music and videos" button, it also unsyncs my music, and when I try to click the "sync music" button, it deletes all my manually added videos...
Any ideas? Videos take up lots of space on my comp, so I would like to put them on my ipod and delete them from itunes so they use up less space, but I would like my music to continue automatically updating...all help appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't fully understand your sync/delete method for videos. I'm not sure I know of a way to work around this dilemma short of manually updating your iPod.
If you have to resort to manually managing your files, you could resort to the "playlist" update option:
Try creating playlist(s) and syncing only those playlists.
Select the iPod in iTunes. Click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and Selected playlists.
Tick the playlists you want on the iPod.
Then just Add/Delete from those playlists and plug in the iPod.
When you add a video and delete it from your library things won't get erased this way.

Manually Sync TV Shows, but Auto Sync Music

Hey is there way to manually control what TV shows sync with your iphone, but have it so it autosyncs your music? Right now, I have my iphone set so that it auto-syncs certain playlists (including recently added, etc.) so that I don't have to really worry about music. But since there is obviously limited room for videos, is there any way to control what TV shows go on? Its really annoying how itunes auto sets it for you.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. If you read my title, I wanted to know how to make it so it automatically sycnes music, but so that I can manually put my TV shows on. Its annoying having to keep track of which music tracks I haven't updated yet on my iphone, I'd rather do it automatically for music. But for TV shows, since I can only put on 1 or episodes at most, I'd like control over which ones I can. Is this not feasible?

Manually manage music but auto-sync one playlist?

Ok so basically, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to manually manage my itunes library but automatcially sync one of my playlists. The reason being is that I have on artists that constantly changes (assorted singles) which is just a collection of different artists' singles. It would be nice to have itunes automatically sync that one playlist but allow me to maintain control of the rest of the library.
Otherwise, my only way to get around this is to create a folder that contains playlists for all the albums/artists I want to sync and have itunes autmotically sync everything that folder?????

It would be nice to have itunes automatically sync that one playlist but allow me to maintain control of the rest of the library.
Simple.
Uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
Select the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and Sync selected playlists.
Tick the playlist you want.
Drag the other music you want to the iDevice.

Syncing Videos erases all my music!!!

If I set my iPod with the new iTunes 7 to automatically sync videos, when it begins to do so it freezes iTunes and I have to force-quit.
When I reopen iTunes my iPod has its entire music library gone and has only the videos uploaded and the podcasts.
Anyone else have this problem or know what the deal is?

it happens to me also i'm adding the videos manually.. i think you should add them manually also ..

Your CC client (mac) get's stuck syncing (always sync icon but nothing syncing)? Temp solution!

I've been having some troubles lately with my CC client on Mac (using Yosemite + Macbook Pro 15 Retina), all under latest versions.
So, suddenly one day I was working and I figured out that my CC taskbar icon displayed always the blue arrows from syncing... I did looked into it and it didn't said "syncing X of X files..." but just "syncing" and nothing happened on both local or website cloud folders... I was starting to be angry when I saw it never ended for few days, and I thought it may be also consuming resources as it seems to be sending/receiving data constantly, but it's not doing anything really, new files won't sync by just placing them at the folder... it got completely cracked.
After looking into few posts, and having a depth look into requirements and file limits and overall, saw my files weren't the issue as they're well named and all of them under the file size limit, because I use Extract a lot and it has a layer limit as well...
Those steps helped solving the issue:
- Do a backup of your most recent files (web or local, in my case was local folder, so I just copied content in another folder outside CC folder).
- Once done, open CC client, go to the settings menu, and choose "preferences".
- Go to "files" tab and deactivate file syncing. Icon will stop displaying the blue arrows.
- Now go to your CC local folder and remove everything inside, same on website and important, remove all files definitely. Otherwise they will end up in your "Archived" folder.
- Once everything removed from both local and app cloud (and insist, definitely!, you should see nothing on any category on the website), activate syncing under "files" tab again.
- Nothing should happen as there are no files to sync on both ways (Local - Cloud), that's fine.
- Now, copy again all your content from your backup folder to your CC folder.
- Blue arrows will appear again, but you can see now it's really syncing files and not just doing anything as before. Let it upload everything again (may take it's time depending on the whole size).
- After every file is synced back again, you should see all files on both local and browser again and it should sync properly again, so it should stop once a file has been uploaded/replaced.
Keep in mind there's an issue on this solution, if you had created public links before, you should create them again as we removed everything completely before. It's a mess, but it's worth it rather than having your app not syncing at all.
Cheers!

Huh? What are you talking about? What's patronizing about my post? I just pointed out what you seemed to be missing. What's wrong about telling you where is the information that you were missing? How was I supposed to know whether you had read articles that you hadn't mentioned when some of your questions are clearly answered there? And even if I knew you had read them, what's wrong about telling you what you were missing there?
If it's the last sentence that you have a problem with, it seems to me that you missed the smiley at the end. Your post was very long and confusing. Thoroughly reading and understanding it all requires way more effort than usual. My last sentence was just an humorous comment about the fact that I couldn't deal with all of it and I might have missed something.
An answer like this makes me hesitant to post again
Well, at this point, I don't care at all whether you post again or not. I can tell you for sure that I'll never, ever, answer a post from you again, so if that's what you're concerned with, you don't have to worry about that possibility at all...
You might consider trying to check your ego
It seems to me that it's someone else who needs to check his/her ego...

Manual Exchange mail sync works but auto doesnt

Hi
We have a problem with one of our iphone 4's. Weve got it set up to use an exchange account and it works fine, but only when you press the manual update button in the email or calendar window.
If you leave it to sync automatically then it doesn't work, you never get any new email. Go to the mail page, hit the update button to do a manual check, and you get email !
Other iphones are fine here.
Any ideas?
Olly

Finally, finally got my first gen iphone to work properly with exchange for work email. I've tried most of the other solutions suggested by all these forum threads trying to address this issue. Hopefully, this will help some of you who have been frustrated by your iphone's inability to access work email! No server adjustments required!
My iphone exchange situation: calendar exchange worked, could send emails and see all my inbox folders but received "failed to connect to server" message when retrieving emails.
I have many folders in my email exchange inbox and many rules setup (e.g. if email from John Doe comes in move to John Doe folder).
First, I deleted my exchange account on the iphone so I could start from scratch. Then in Outlook, I had to move all emails from my inbox folder to another folder. I guess this somehow clears the pipes for the iphone/exchange communication to work.
Second, I recreated the exchange account on the iphone. Calendar sync worked like before. I sent a test email to myself using Outlook. Miraculously, the iphone retrieved it! In my previous 50 or so attempts this never worked.
But then I noticed when I tried to go into one of the folders where a rule was applied (e.g. move email to this folder if sent from John Doe) it would not retrieve email and I got the usual annoying "failed to connect to server" error message. I suspect you need to remove all rules created before setting up your iphone exchange account and then recreate the rules. So far, this has worked.
My co-workers (with 1st gen and 3g iphones) have applied these same steps with positive results. Hope this helps some of you who can't easily adjust your company's exchange server settings or can't get the IT folks to do it because they don't officially support the iphone. Enjoy!

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.

AppleTV Syncs Video But Not Sound-Sometimes

When I sync my AppleTV with the movies in my iTunes library, sometimes when I play them on my AppleTV I don't have any sound! Picture is fine. When I play the files on my iMac from my music library everything's fine. Anyone have any idea why the sound doesn't get synced sometimes?

Hi.
The movies are from iTunes music store, some homemade, some dvds I've made from old VHS converted for AppleTv with HandBrake.
They play fine, all of them, on my iMac from my iTunes library.
The AppleTv is synced through my wireless network Airport Extreme. The AppleTV is connected to my HD TV with HDMI.
It's only on a few movies that the sound "disappears" on. No common denominator that I can find, except that they were converted with HandBrake but 99% of them play ok. And why would they play in iTunes on my iMac and lose the sound when synced to AppleTv? The video is perfect!
Thanks.

IPad syncs video but can't find video file on iPad, previous OS upgrade and ITunes upgrade no problem

I could play the video file before but sine OS and recent ITunes upgrade I cannot. iTunes indicates the video file in on the iPad but you can't find it in voids icon, apple support has not yielded an answer so far

I found out: you cannot sync. clips directly into the iMovie APP via iTunes. Well, you can but it wont be available for edditing.
You must sync them into Camera Roll.

Installed ITunes 11. Recognizes & syncs iPod, but can change music or podcasts

I just installed iTunes11. It recognizes by iPod nano (2nd gen), but the iPod up on the upper left of the screen disappears as soon as it syncs. How do I change the settings so I get different music or podcasts? I have a feeling there is flaw in the software. the iPod itself is working fine. Or maybe I am missing something here? Is there a way to go back to the version of iTunes?

I have a very sililar problem. My iPad 1 will sync, but as soon as I go to the library, I can't get the iPad view back. As you said the button in the upper right and upper left disappear. In other versions of iTunes I could switch back and forth between library view and iPad view.

Was able to sync videos but now unable to so

i wasn't sure if this was the right thread to put this in but if isn't, please move it to the appropriate one.
i'll try my best to explain my problem. from what has happened just now to the possibilities as to what may have caused it to happen.
i only got this video ipod less than 3 weeks ago and just two days ago i was browsing through my songs (while a song was still playing) when it suddenly froze. so i left it and when i got home and turned it back on, battery was low.
til now, i have done nothing. not even dropped it. been very careful but here come the problem i'm having currently.
i wanted to sync more movies that were downloaded onto the ipod but stupid me decided to delete all the movies i had on there already and start again. they're gone now but i've tried putting them back on by dragging them to itunes .. they go to the movies section and i go to sync them. i wait and when it says 'sync complete' i go to check if they've synced properly and to my surprise they're not there.
i've done this more than 5 times now and nothing at all.
have i done something wrong? i've tried repairing and updating itunes cuz i thought that may have been the problem but i'm not entirely sure.
help appreciated.

thanks for the info. i would try and apply what you've given only my ipod froze again.
i thought i'd give it a night's rest and deal with it the next day.
only when i tried to connect it to the computer to try again, it said something along the lines of 'application not recognised' so i'm not sure what's going on there.
as well as that, it froze while on the ipod screen it said 'do not disconnect' and it's still like that.
i'll have to wait til it runs out of battery to try again. if it continues on like this, i'll have to go to the itunes store and see what can be done about it cuz it's the second time it's frozen on me and in the two weeks of using it (since i purchased it) i haven't dropped it nor has it been damaged in any way.

1. on the pad, settings, general / restrictions. make sure that is not on.
2. if you have multiple devices syncing from the same computer, make sure you have the correct on indicated in the leftside navigation pane of I tunes.

Best way to sync video footage with separate music track playing underneath

Is it simply a case of inserting markers on the timeline at the relevant points of the track where you wish clips to change (e.g. on the beat or the start of musical phrases) and then aligning clips to these markers?

I use this method:
- first listen to the music clip, while in the timeline, and tap on m (marker) at each beat; after some practicing you can be quite precise...
- then (while snapping is ON) drag the video clip you want to synchronize to a video track and make sure its left (IN) point is aligned with a selected marker
- then drag the right (OUT) edge of the video clip right or left till it snaps to a new selected marker,
- etc.

-54 syncing error, but still syncs

Okay so over the past week I've been getting an "error -54" when I try to sync stuff onto my iphone 5. This has never happened so I was stumped. I went to look through my phone at what I had just synced over and it was there, yet it gave me the error? It's constantly doing this with music and videos and even apps. I have restored my phone multiple times, even from new and it still does it. I have deleted all my music from my itunes and tried putting them in again; still does it. It's not every song or every app, but it is often and a bunch of them. I just don't know how to fix this and I don't know why it's giving me an error when I backup or put stuff on it, but the stuff still syncs to my phone? (It even showed up when I restored to new and tried to sync just the phone. It popped up). Is something wrong with my phone?

I guess I should have also said that I just updated to ios 8 and it never happened before that. Not sure if that means anything, but I guess every detail helps.

Sync albums but only sync 5 star photos in each

I would like to sync only the 5 star photos from each of the albums in my aperture library so that they appear as albums on my iPhone but with only the 5 star photos inside. At the moment I am syncing a single 5 star smart album but it contains 1300 images and it's hard to find what I'm looking for on my iPhone. My photography style is to take lots of photos and choose the best in Aperture. This means I might have an album in Aperture with 300 images in but only 20 that I rate 5 stars. Basically, I want all my albums on my iPhone but with only my 5 star rated photos in each.
Can anyone help?

Yes, that's an option I've considered. But as with any database, size is inversely proportional to speed - larger database equals slower performance. LR 5 is much better than earlier versions in this regard but when you reach 100,000 images you can feel it.
This is incorrect. I accept that you think the database is getting slower, but the database (and really all databases) are designed to work pretty much the same regardless of the number of records, except for perhaps searching through the entire catalog. We have seen in this forum people who are now editing larger RAW files than a few years ago, they see it is slower, and decide it is the size of the database, rather than the size of their photos.
What aspects of Lightroom are slow? If it's scrolling and displaying the previews and searching, then it might be the database. If its displaying images in the Develop module, it is NOT the database at all.
Have you taken steps to improve the performance of the database, such as Optimizing it regularly? have you tried these performance tips: FAQ: Experiencing Performance related problems in Lightroom?
