Movie Sync Issue on iPhone5, iOS6

I am new to the Apple Support Communities and first of all I want to say hello to everybody.
But I have a huge problem with syncing HD movies to my device.
Background:
I have a small Bluray collection, which I copied to my HDD to convert them using Handbrake with the additional iPhone4 720p preset
provided by lifehacker.com ...
(from mkv to mp4)
Directly after the encoding is finished, all sync operations are fine: the destination file is around 6.5gb, with 2 audio tracks, multiple subtitles, chapters and all at about 6000kb/s for video bitrate. I can play the movie without any problems on my device.
Then I remove the file from iTunes (because the "test" have passed), send the mp4 file to metax to tag it with the HD and MPAA flags and send it back to iTunes, set an artwork image, some cast, year, genre and sort information - nothing spectecular!
So, my library grew by another movie with all information set regarding my personal "protocol" ...
Time for the "final" sync, BUT NOW iTunes shows the new content (before syncing, as Movie) after the sync finished as "Others" in yellow and on my device the new movie appears as kind of disbled (grey!). I cannot select it to play.
I also tried to reset my iPhone, reset my iTunes Lib, converted the movie with lower bitrate to decrease file size, ...
The most confusing part is that it worked BEFORE editing the title's information in the iTunes' information window.
Does anybody ist kind of familiar with that issue?
I appreciate any kind of help or hints.
Thanks in advance.

The problem seems to be solved.
After spending hours with trial and error, re-installing iTunes, resetting all caches and warnings,
the solutions is near.
My converted bluray backups are now syncing and playing reliable.
The issue (bug or feature) was in iTunes, obviously.

ITunes Movie Sync Issue

I have recently noticed that when I sync my new iPad with my Macbook iTunes, that if I deselect one of my movies in the sync selection area, it always comes back checked. I look at the Movies on the left side of the itunes, and it shows that the movie is there. However, the movie is not synced to my iPad, as I desire. What is up with this, and can I get this resolved? It is a flaky thing.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Everything was working fine this morning and I added 5 e-mail addresses to my contacts. (I just upgraded to OS X 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6.1.) When I went to sync it with iTunes, I got the "Syncing contacts with iPhone" and it hangs up there. I have recycled the iPhone and re-started the computer. I have checked the box to have all the contacts on the iPhone replaced at the next sync, and still the same problem. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Ical sync issues with iphone5s (itunes 11.1.5 (5))

If Iphone 5s is connected via USB to the mac and it shows up in iTunes 11.1.5 I only see the following fields:
Summary | Apps | Music | Movies | TV Shows | Podcast | Books | Photos | On this IPhone
Is there Info missing? I can not find the check box for syncing with iCal anymore and it does not sync the calender since then.
Thanks for help.

** UPDATE 3 -- FINAL -- PROBLEM FIXED ***
I was able to fix my non-working iTunes Windows Calendar sync by going back to iTunes for Windows v11.1.1.
I used the following steps:
(1) Uninstalled iTunes for Windows (and associated Apple software) using this guide:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
(2) Installed iTunes for Windows v11.1.1.11.exe
(Got older version from File Hippo)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes_32/16100/
(3) Launched iTunes for Windows, then connected iPad via USB port
(4) When iPad was recongized, RESET SYNC HISTORY
-- In iTunes select "Edit", then "Preferences", then select the "Devices" tab
-- click the "Reset Sync History" button
-- click "OK".
(5) Sync the iPad replacing the exiting Calendars on the iPAD
-- click the 'iPad" button at the top-right of iTunes
-- Select the "Info" button at the top
-- Check "Sync Contacts with Outlook", "Sync Calendars with Outlook"
-- Scroll down and in the "Advanced" section click "Replace information on this iPad, Calendars"

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

Sync issue when playing iTunes movies

I just converted my iTunes movies to an open format that I can play on my tablets, and I am having the same audio sync issue, and I am checking my output videos with Windows Media Player on a Windows 7 machine.

Just tried the video file on itunes , Same problem. Other video players works fine

Video sync issues with ios6

Since I upgraded to iOS 6, I can't sync my iTunes video or Shared Library on/ to my iPad 2. Can anyone assist me?

Have just spent a frustrating evening trying to sync latest itunes to ios6 freshly installed onto ipad 2. Its completely random. Sometimes, it will take one episode of something but not the next and then just when you think you're getting there (albeit at snails pace), it synces the next episode but deletes the first leaving it marked for download. Have totally failed to load all my own media (ie not bought on itunes) which I need for presentation onto ipad where it used to sit so easily so now feeling thoroughly cheesed off. Is it ios 6 or latest itunes or both - aghhhhhhhhhh

More Aperture/iPad syncing issues

Each time I create a new project or album in Aperture, I have trouble getting the images to the iPad when I sync. I sometimes need to sync several times until the images are recognized and imported to iPad. I do have the albums designated manually, rather than all, which means I have to sync and then sync again after I check the checkbox for the new album. I understand that, but sometimes I have to go back into Aperture to make sure the previews are updated. If I choose to update the previews for a project, Aperture will usually tell me that they're already up to date, but often they will not show up on the iPad, even after I check the appropriate box for the album in iTunes. Sometimes I get good results if I delete the previews and regenerate them in Aperture.
The second problem is the sort order. Even if I have "sort by filename" selected in Aperture, they do not show up in this order on the iPad--despite what the support article says about this. They appear to only show up in Date order. I've tried repeatedly resetting the sort order, but it does not change on the iPad. Sometimes I have to delete the album from the iPad, (uncheck the album in iTunes and sync again), then recheck it and sync yet another time. This does not always work, however.
It is very frustrating. The interface between Aperture and the iPad is very wonky. I often have to sync repeatedly, just to get the photos on the iPad and even then they're usually in the wrong order.
Aperture appears to have two types of previews: "previews" and "sharing previews," but "sharing previews" don't seem to appear in the documentation. I've noticed that, even when Aperture says the previews are up to date, when I exit the program, it will sometimes (but, maddeningly, not always), give the message, "updating sharing previews" before quitting. I cannot figure out how to force this, however. Sometimes opening and closing Aperture several times will cause it to do this, but I can't be sure.
iTunes seems to have its own process in which it "optimizes" images for importing to the iPad. Like Aperture's mysterious "sharing previews," "optimizing" does not show up in the iTunes documentation or help files.
This process either needs to be improved, or at least documented so users can understand how to avoid these problems.

1. Some people have reported slow syncing with anything but the iPad's own USB cable (e.g. using a US cable from an iPhone/iPod). Try different cables
2. More work - disable iTunes syncing completely, then re-enable a bit at a time, e.g. one movie at a time, one playlist at a time, one photo album at a time. There are periodic reports of syncing issues caused by a bit of media that's been corrupted, and this (tedious) approach allows you to identify where the problem might be.
3. If that fails, do a clean restore back to factory settings, then progressively re-enable syncing as above.
Hope this helps

Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

Hi All,
My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system
Thanks!

A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
How to move your data to a new Identity
BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

Serious Sync issues between iTunes 8.0.2 and AppleTV 2.3

Please Help,
Everything was just wonderful until several weeks back when the AppleTV started having sync issues that seem to have degraded into oblivion. Rebooted everything, checked all software loads, tried many of the suggestions (no blocking network / firewall issues) and have even tried adding redundant port allows for any and all ports I could find going in / out of Apple TV. But to no avail there seems to be a bug that got introduced somewhere with the sync mechanisms.
The Apple TV can purchase movies, download them fast to start playing, view youtube videos just fine and play all of the media great, So can my Mac and all media / iTunes functions work well it even syncs with my iPhone / iPods well.
However... The only way I can get the AppleTV to sync is to reboot it, then it will sync some, iTunes will just get to a forever syncing with Apple TV state (which you have to stop), reboot AppleTV again, it will sync some more, until it stops, iTunes is stuck syncing forever with AppleTV again, repeat and rinse about 4 more times and you have it all synced.
If there isn't anything to sync when AppleTV boots the Sync in iTunes just spins for ever. I actually left it for 4 days just to see if it was actually doing anything. Minimal Network IO and of course it never finished.
If I stop the Sync with Apple TV in iTunes and then try to reinitiate it from iTunes I get the 3986 port error (which is bogus) unless there is some hidden setting somewhere in the OS that I can't find. And if there was a problem then why would it start and run when I boot the Apple TV.
It just seems that all of a sudden things started going wrong with Sync with no real change other than 'software updates' .
The only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset on the AppleTV which from what I have read doesn't really solve anything.
So, please someone from Apple or someone with some detailed technical experience provide some guidance on whether there is a bug that got introduced, version issues between iTunes/AppleTV, or something else going that I haven't been able to figure out over the last 2 weeks.
The only other unique things that may be different is that I have my iTunes library on an external drive (not on the internal drive). Does this many any difference?
Thank You in advance to anyone that can help me get to the bottom of these issues. This started happening when I was totally sold on AppleTV and about to buy a second one.
mmilford

And it's good to know I'm not the only one with the problem too! I just cannot sync stuff from Mac to Apple TV without it locking up. It actually seems to lock the wifi also, meaning I have to quit iTunes, turn off the wifi and then turn it back on again. But as soon as I open iTunes, the same problem again...
I've tried everything I can think of, searched all help articles, but cannot sort out this somewhat annoying problem.

IPad syncing issues, please help.

I know this is a long read, I appreciate you taking the time to follow the details to help me figure out what is happening with my iPad.
As a preface, I update the firmware to all my Apple software (including iTunes) and my MacBook OS (Snow Leopard) and my iDevices the day the updates come out, so all these issues occured with the current firmware.
A few weeks ago, I was syncing my iPad earlier to my MacBook via iTunes. The backing up step was going on for about 10 minutes and it only got 1/20 across the status / progress bar. I "X'd" out of that and just synced the rest of it without the backing up step.
Then I disconnected the device and reattached it. I went back and am re-syncing. The backing up step has been going for almost an hour and its only 1/5th across the progress bar. It is moving, but noticeably. If I put my mouse pointer icon on the end of the progress made so far, then come back and look at it 10 minutes later, it has made progress. So, it is backing up, but so incredibly slowly.
Anyone experience this before? Any idea what could be the cause or fix to this?
I left it for several more hours. In fact, I started the syncing around 6 pm, and went to bed around 11. It was only 3/4 to 4/5 done backing up by that point.
I left it overnight, and in the very early morning (6 or 7 am), it had the familiar and comforting "Sync Complete" message.
Still have no idea why it took so fookin long, or it it will happen again next time.
I don't think the problem is the issue pertaining to Zinio disrupting backups, as discussed here: http://imgs.zinio.com/faq/ipad.htm#backup because I already followed those steps.
Now, two nights ago, I updated the firmware. It only took a few minutes. I didn't notice until last night, some of my old movies that I handbrake'd into iTunes were no longer on my iPad. I had to go back into the Time Machine to retrieve them.
I re-synced the iPad. It took about 10 minutes doing step 1, backing up. However, it froze at about 95% complete. I thought it was just going slow again (last time was hours!), so I went to bed. I woke up this morning and it was still frozen. I ejected the iPad from the sidebar window and stopped the sync by clicking the little black "X" in the message window.
I shut down iTunes and restarted my MacBook. I re-synced and it skipped the Step 1, Backing Up and went in to Step 2. It completed the sync moving over the movies, but no photos or music.
I re-synced immediately afterward (after disconnecting and reconnecting the device) and got a message about iTunes not being able to back up my iPad due to another syncing in process. It still synced and this time it moved about 256 photos. Not sure why- maybe I had "Sync recent 1000 events" or something checkmarked in the iTunes Sync window.
I re-synced again immediately afterward (also disconnecting and reconnecting first) and got the same message about iTunes not being able to back up my iPad. It still synced the rest of the sync process, but this time it moved about a dozen songs around. I don't know why I each time I sync it does different things and I get the error messages.
My iPad seems to be giving me issues with syncing, anyone have any idea what is going on or how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Syncing issues with Apple TV

Is anyone else having syncing issues with their Apple TV? I am trying to sync movies up that I just bought (StarTrek HD, IronMan HD) and the sync sits there with the progress bar moving all the way to the end but never actually finishes. Just sits there for hours! I don't know if it is because of the iTunes Extras or not, but it is getting very annoying.
I have read a lot of bad reviews of the Apple TV 3.0.1 update and I have to say, the my Apple TV is very sluggish and hangs a lot with this new revision. I am sure that is part of my issues syncing. All of this is sad because the product has such potential. To me, it is like an iPod for your TV.
I believe with this slow response times and issues Apply may be working on a hardware update to the device which is long overdue. Maybe the new software requires a faster processor and/or more memory which will be answered in the new hardware (one can only hope). We are just beta testing the new software. Apple: Listen to the people, we want bigger hard drive (500GB+) and reliability! We want it to run as smooth as an iPod. The moment you update the hardware, everyone with Apple TVs will buy a new one!

Yes I have the same problem,, and it was with 2.4 version, I upgraded to 3.0.1 and still the status bar progresses all the way to end and just hangs there,,, BS is what it is,, If this is not fixed or goes unanswered I am just going to take my Apple TV back as I just purchased it yesterday. 12/17/09

Tearing/Sync issues on G5 with X800XT

I recently bought a refurbished G5 2x2.0Ghz with 512mg Ram with an ATI X800 XT card in it. I'm running 10.4.3 and the firmware on the graphics card has been updated to the current spec.
When I watch anything with fast motion such as an .avi or .mov there is tearing horizontally across the screen but I don't know why. My machine is plugged via a DVI cable into a Samsung26" LCD.
Has anyone experienced this and figured out a fix? I saw that there was a long thread about the ATI cards but I checked and the problematic driver isn't installed and this thread mainly dealt with Panther. My machine has a very clean system with hardly anything other than the standard installed. I use VLC for viewing .avis.
If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it as I'm using the G5 as a media centre so obviously it's not ideal if I have this constant tearing or sync issues.
Thanks

G5 2x2.0 Ghz, 512 Ram, X800Xt Mac OS X (10.4.3)

check out this thread and tell me if it is the same thing you are seeing in your video interface..if so then it might be a Tiger issue with OpenGL (maybe)?. I am on the same OS but with a different card and system(Quad) ..I get it in garage band which for the most part has a moving interface. I did get it to go away but not using my wacom tablet but others have removed theirs and it still exists..but on another note I am still having OpenGL issues in other areas. OpenGL is supposed to be an area of fixes with the 10.4.4 update coming soon.

Multiclip sync issues - resolved???

Searching through the threads here I've seen a few different posts regarding the loss of sync in multiclips when moving media files around. Unfortunately all of the threads are locked and can't be posted to. None of them have been answered!
I've just run into a similar situation and am trying to find out if the recent update to FCP 6.0.3 has fixed this. My problem, which is 100% repeatable is as follows:
Create a new project/sequence.
Capture 2 camera tapes from the event (1 w/ timecode, 1 via a analog to digital converter, ie no timecode)
Review each captured clip and insert markers where I want to use scenes.
Create subclips from each marker I want to use
Mark In Points in each subclip to use as sync points (clapper board in my case)
Select the corresponding subclips from Camera A and Camera B and Make Multiclip using In Points for sync.
Place multiclip in timeline.
Play sequence and use keypad to insert camera changes.
Save file.
At this point everything is fine. My sequence plays back with all of my angle changes.
Now if I quit FCP and use the finder to move one of the captured files to another hard drive everything goes to sh*t. When I reopen the project, FCP will ask me to reconnect to the offline media file. No problem; use the dialog box to locate the moved file and reconnect. Now when I go back to the sequence and play it, the 2 camera angles are completely out of sync with each other. I'm not talking a few frames, its usually several seconds at least.
I've done this several times, and it always happens. FCP absolutely cannot maintain multiclip sync info when a media file is moved.
Just as a point of further frustration, I know someone is going to respond that I should use the Media Manager to move media files around. This is also broken. That's how I originally discovered the problem. I went to create an archive of the whole project. My destination was an external hard drive. When opening up the newly created project, I saw the same out of sync multiclips. My guess is because the media files were now on a different hard drive.
Also, try to roundtrip a multiclip sequence to SoundTrackPro - totally hosed when it comes back into FCP. Same out of sync issues.
So something is definately problematic here. I'm still on 6.0.1 and can't risk updating while this project is in process. But I would like to know if this problem still exists in 6.0.3.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris-- I am having the same problem-My media went offline-- tried reconnecting and get this message stating that the attributes of the original clip have changed; mark in and out-- then when i reopen my sequence certain clips that are multicam have suddenly got different ins and outs-- have no idea what is causing this but here is some advice someone posted on another forum:
I do almost nothing but multi-cam editing, and have for the last 8 to 10 years, but the overwhelming majority of my work is with matched time-code cameras. I have worked with in-points on FCP and have not had these problems, but I don't do it that often, so I don't feel comfortable telling someone that he's not having the problems he is having.
Jasper - when making multi-clips with in-points are you using master clips or sub-clips? Also are you sure you haven't seperately used the same source clip and thereby changed the in-point reference? These would be the first 2 things i would test when trying to figure out why the multi-clips were not functioning. Also I will say the a sure way to get corrupted multi-clips is to use a clip that has time-code breaks within it - something that shouldn't happen, but that actually happens all to easily in FCP.
Finally I can offer this work around, change the AUX time-code on the clips and sync with them. FCP makes it incredibly easy to change the time-code on a captured clip, and that includes 2 optional AUX time code tracks that are available for each clip. Find a sync point on each of the clips that you want to use in a multi-clip, go to Modify / Time Code - check the AUX TC 1 box and enter a common time code in the window - I would recommend that this time code be a copy of the actual time code of your most important clip, but anything will do - and then when making a multi-clip choose to Sync with Aux 1. (just don't uncheck the box containing your source time-code or you'll loose it - leave both boxes checked) - this extra step does not take long and should alleviate your problems.
hope this helps?!@

How to delete Sync Issues folder in outlook -Exchange 2010 environment ?

is there a way to get rid of Sync Issues folder in outlook , I tried out solution with MFCMapi but no luck . Please suggest ?
Aditya Mediratta

Hi Aditya,
Thank you for your question.
By my testing, there are 5 folders which we didn’t delete. It is a system necessary folder.
There are Deleted Items, Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Sync Issues.
Could you tell me that why you want to delete it? We could hide it by the following methods:
1: In the Bottom of the Navigation Pane you shall find the following Option (Mail, Calendar, Contacts,) Click on the option that says Mail, this will hide the hidden folders.
2: Clicking on the “Folder List” button present at the bottom of the navigation pane (Where we see the folder icon).
3: Incase if you do not see the Option for “Folder list” at the bottom of the Navigation Pane, then please do the following:
At the Top Click on the View Ribbon > Navigation Pane > Options > You will get a Window called “Navigation Pane Options “> Check the Box that says Folder List and move it up the list using the
“Move Up” option. Now you would find the “Folder list “option at the bottom of the Navigation Pane. > Clicking it will Un-hide /Hide the hidden folder visible in the navigation list.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

IPhoto 9.4.1 does not solve all sync issues

The 9.4.1 update does not solve all the sync issues.
It may have fixed the duplicate Events that you can see in iTunes when syncing to an iDevice, but it has not resolved the duplicate Faces.
I still have many duplicate Faces showing, even though in iPhoto the Faces are only there once.......

Try the following:
1 - open the library package with the Finder as follows:
2 - Find the AlbumData.xml file and move it to the Desktop.
3 - close the package and launch iPhoto.
See if the above will get rid of the bogus events.
