Marking albums to be excluded from automatic sync

Hello,
Is there a way to mark albums / songs in itunes, so that they are excluded from the next automatic sync when i hook up my ipod? I like the auto-sync cause it's easy, but i just got some albums i don't really want on my ipod. I could just to the manual sync, but i'm lazy i guess.

You could use the option "Sync Music - Selected Playlists" and up date your iPod from a playlist that only contains the music you want on the iPod. Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync".
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod.
Alternatively you can uncheck items in iTunes that you don't want on the iPod and in the Summary preference tab check the box "Sync only checked songs and videos". However only choose this option if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
Genius will not use the songs that are unchecked.

IPhone photos don't automatically sync to Facebook.
However, you may have allowed your Facebook photos to sync into your phone's photo app.
If you don't want the Facebook photos to appear in your photo albums, turn off the option to sync Facebook photos.

DEP preventing Itunes from automatic sync with ipod

I can't find anything about this anywhere so you might be able to help me!
I changed the podcast automatic sync settings on my ipod and for some inexplicable reaon, the ipod (160gb classic) started sncing manually with itunes. (i'm pretty sure i didn't touch the manual tick box!)
Everytime I unclick the manual snyc button on the ipod page, itunes shuts down and i get a message saying that data execution protection has prevented changes. I have attempted to change the DEP setting for itunes, but I get a message saying that i'm not authorised/ not safe to do so. i am logged in as an administrator.
Anyone have any idea what to do next!?!

I basically was unselecting "manually manage music and videos", ok-ed the standard do you really want to do that box and the itunes shut down.
Windows problems/solutions would then tell me about itunes not having enough DEP priviliges.
Unfortunately I'm not able to tell you what happens, as I have just tried it again to get the exact errors and it has worked beautifully!
no shutdowns, no problems. I haven't done anything differently.
Problem reports and solutions don't mention the DEP thing but say fault with stackhash_fd600.
Obviously posting on this forum in itself is enough to solve problems!

How can I stop it from automatically syncing when I plug my iPod in?

Is there any way to stop iTunes from popping up and syncing my iPod when I plug it in? I have about 1000 songs that are misplaced and I do NOT want them all erased off of my iPod when I plug it in. Yet, all the ways that are explained mean that you have to plug your iPod into the computer and have iTunes open and sync it just so you can click the box telling it not to sync. ANY way around this? Please help.

Open the iTunes preferences and turn that option off, or press the Shift and Control keys while connecting the iPod to your computer, releasing them once the iPod appears.

Cleanup User Profiles excluded from import

Hey guys!
since weeks I got messed up with user profiles in MOSS2010.
Initially we have setup AD synchroization from whole AD. Some tests were done and numerous OUs were excluded from the sync connection.
Hence thousands of profiles should be deleted from SharePoint, but still kept in AD.
SharePoint has moved them to "Profiles Missing from Import" which was a first milestone. However, we use the profiles in organization webparts and the "should be-" deleted profiles still appear in those webparts.
We were waiting more than 14 days for automatical deletion which doesn´t took any affect.
MySite cleanup Job and
User Profile Change Cleanup Job have been executed by schedule and manualla - accounts still exist
Full sync has been executed - accounts still exist.
I have executed the well known PowerShell script to delete NonImportetObjects
Set-SPProfileServiceApplication $upa -GetNonImportedObjects $true
But I get only five profiles as result. On SharePoint CA I have thousands of profiles on "Profiles Missing from Import". So I guess the execution of
Set-SPProfileServiceApplication $upa -PurgeNonImportedObjects $true
wont help me out in this case.
Due to the large amount of profiles, a manual deletion is not a suitable solution.
Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Just one quick check, did you start user Profile service after OUs exclusion in Sync connection ? if not then please restart the service and perform Full Sync.
Run below script on SQL server to check all users marked for deletion, these users will be picked up by "MY Site clean up job" for deletion:
1. Script to get list of all user which are inactive and marked in "Profile missing", update profile DB Name :
SELECT * FROM [User Profile Service Application_ProfileDB_02f7d99cc26542978de8627838c980b8].[dbo].[UserProfile_Full] with (nolock) where bDeleted = 1GO
2. Script to check if sites marked as deletion, update profile DB name;
SELECT * FROM [User Profile Service Application_ProfileDB_02f7d99cc26542978de8627838c980b8].[dbo].[MySiteDeletionStatus]GO

I plugged in my Ipod and it is not automatically syncing

Cpl of problems. I plugged my Ipod into the USB cable connected to my PC. I Tunes opens automatically but it does not sync. There are no new updates & I used my Ipod today without any problems. The battery is fine as it fully charged while plugged in to the PC.
I then unplugged the IPod and attempted to listen to music from Itunes. I can open the I Tunes Store, but nothing else. When I click on "Purchases", Music, etc. I simply get a red circle with the line through it. Everything is frozen with the exception of the store???
Help!

Are you positive your iPod is configured to sync automatically with your iTunes library? Meaning the Manually manage music videos option is not enabled from under your iPod's Summary tab?
Check to make sure automatic syncing has not been disabled via iTunes preferences. To check, head to Edit -> Preferences -> Devices, and make sure the Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing setting is disabled.
As for the 2nd issue, can you provide some sort of screen shot and step by step process of exactly what you are trying to do?

How can I Automatically Sync Music by Album

I'm trying to figure out how I can automatically sync my music by album. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to listen to whole albums instead of individual tracks. I've got about 30 gigs of music in my iTunes Library, but only 7 gigs of space on my iPhone. What I want to do is have iTunes put a certain number of complete albums on my iPhone automatically. It could be defined by space (gigs), number of albums, time, whatever. But I want all the tracks from that album, not one or two. And I want iTunes to randomly update or refresh the list of albums when it syncs to my iPhone. I know I could do this manually through a playlist, but I don't have the time to do this on a regular basis. Is there any way to set up a smart playlist to do this for me? Any other solutions?

As a smartplaylist would be about the only way that it may be possible, I think you would have better responses over in the iTunes discussion group than here.

I've uploaded songs to my iTunes library on my MAC but I can no longer upload to my phone from my MAC. Since I've uploaded all of the periodic upgrades after the automatic sync takes place I can no longer find my iPhone on my MAC

Since I've downloaded all of the "automatic upgrades" for both my iPhone and iTunes, once the "automatic sync" finishes when I connect my iPhone to my MAC, I have no way of finding my device and no way to mark new songs I've added to my music library on my MAC so they will automatically be uploaded to my iPhone the next time I connect it and do the automatic sync...

To repeat, I can still sync everything just fine from my computer to my old IPhoone 3S and to my ancient iPad, buit not to the new phone. I have tried every imaginable combination of WiFi and iCloud settingson or off, and syncing the entire library or just specific playlists and such. I am at a loss.
Please accept my apology if I sounded elementary to you. One never knows what level of expertise he is posting to. My thought based on the message I'm focusing on here is that IF in fact you are able to sync just fine with ancient devices but not your new device I would be thinking strongly about updates to either itunes or to your OS.
Good luck.

How do I change sync from automatic to manual

Where do I go in itunes to remove the automatic sync process (whenever I connect my iphone) and do a manual sync? I dumped contacts from old Palm system & the contacts in Google are showing duplicates between 4 to 8 times for each contact.

Same thing happened to me. I ended up deleting all contacts again and overwriting them with the desktop version. No matter how many times I marked manual syncing, every time I reconnect the iphone it does an unwanted automatic sync. In fact it completely messed and mixed up all entries in my categories. Luckily I didn't trust syncing in the first place (been a burnt child by apple syncing) and had exported the contacts before I did the first sync. Every other simple sync utility also lets you decide to sync just one way, not so apple. I have given up on syncing altogether, this is only the tip of the iceberg of all the problems I have run into, trying to sync anything with iTunes. The upcoming cloud syncing capability may change that, hopefully for the better (but I am not holding my breath). Apple finally caught on to the fact that their customers refused to pay for a service (mobileme) that could be had for free anywhere else! My conclusion: Beneath the shiny exterior, and all the hollywood show like announcements of their CEO lies a rat infested engine. You better don't open the hood, otherwise you'll see the rats gnawing away on the electric system, bringing it down. Shame on you apple! Oh, i have been on a Mac since 1993, and seen this company go through very unwelcome changes especially lately. IMHO their developers should be feathered and tarred and driven out of town for wasting their customer's prescious time and throwing sand in our eyes!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not worked

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to rectify the situation as I have tried every help setting for the last 4 hours.

I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

How do you stop your phone from creating two albums with the same photos after syncing?

When I first bought my phone I was able to sync my photos by checking the folder I wanted synced under iTunes. This put all those photos on photo library on my phone. I recently added more photos to that folder and tried to sync them it now put them in the photo library album and also created another album with my folder name. So I have two albums with the same photos. I tried in checking that folder in iTunes and of course they're not in my photo library. Please help. I don't want two albums with the same pics

This is how Apple has always handled photos. nothing has changed at all.
Just as your music is in your library and you can access those exact same songs from a playlist, all of your synced pics are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the album name that you chose to sync.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.
