Music sync help please

I have recently bought an iphone and want to sync some of my music from my itunes library. The problem i have is that my ipod has 30gb of music in it and iphone had only 8gb max. How do i select only certain albums to be synced and will it affect my library next time i connect my ipod.
Also if i have music tracks on iphone can they be used as ringtones or is it only up to 30 seconds it will play
Many thanks

In iTunes with the iPhone connected and selected in the devices list, click the Music tab. You can choose to sync only selected playlists (I find that to be the easiest way to manage content on the iPhone, but there are others, like manually manage or syncing only checked songs). That won't affect syncing to your iPod - iTunes will keep the sync settings for the different devices separate (I have two iPhones and a whole bunch of iPods all with different content synced to the same computer).
Ringtones must be shorter than 40 seconds, and must be .m4r files. See THIS PAGE for details.

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync - help please!

    I lost my iTunes and all my music when my laptop died, but managed somehow to get it all back onto my new laptop - none of my music is purchased though iTunes but downloaded separately or from CDs. However when I sync my iPod it doesn't actually change anything or add new songs from my iTunes, and playlists on my iPod do not appear in my iTunes. Help please! I've tried manually managing my music and syncing but that doesn't work either, and when I plugging it into my computer it says on the iPod screen that its syncing but it doesn't show that it is in iTunes.

    Depending on how you add content to your iPod, have you seen this article?

    Kind Regards Bryan

    If you want to delete stuff from your computer's hard drive after syncing it to the iPod, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
    However, storing music on your iPod and nowhere else is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
    At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this about backing up media.

  • Audio not in sync - help please

    This never happened before. I drag my Quicktime movie into the Assets tab and then into the editor. The audio and video are in sync for about the first 5 mins. of the half hour production, and then it goes out of sync. Can't understand it.
    I made a new QT mov. and the video and audio tracks are exactly the same length. When I play the movie in the QT player it's fine all the way through. But in DVDSP I have the sync problem. Never did before.
    What is going on? Any help appreciated!

    Dear Sir,
    When I look at my IPAD contents when it is connected via USB to my PC in the ITines Left Panel THe book shows with 2 greyed out circular small icons.  When I look in my IPAD the book shows but it does not play.
    I have tried 10 times syncing but the book just does not come on my IPAD and Play.  The book is showing on my IPAD MUSIC-> More -> AudioBooks but it does not play

  • Getting aroung sync - help please

    I have 2 new nanos, one is mine the other is my sister's.
    At first, I could click and drag songs from my library to the ipods. This was great because I could select certain songs I wanted. Well I decided to "sync" my ipod and I hate it! Now whenever I plug in my ipod, all the songs are grey and I can't select them or anything. And I don't want certain songs and it wont let me get around it! Can someone help?
    I haven't sync'd my sister's yet and it still lets me drag and copy so I won't be doing it to hers.
    Thanks

    Create a new playlist.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Select the Music tab.
    Tick Sync music and Sync selected playlists, then select the playlist(s) you want to sync.
    Now just add or delete songs from this playlist and plug in the iPod to update it.
    If you really want to manually manage the music on the iPod, select the iPod and on the Summary tab, select Manually manage music.
    To me, this kind of defeats the purpose of ease of use of iTunes/iPod.

  • HT4946 iPhone5 syncing help please!

    I got my iphone5 this past November and did not have a computer to sync it to. I now have a computer, how can i sync my iphone to it without having everything deleted?

    There is not a way to manually manage the iphone.
    If you sync music and movies to the iphone, then remove them off the computer. The next time you sync the iphone with music or video, the previous data will be removed from the iphone.
    The best way to conserver space for music or video that you have in itunes is to back it up or bur to disc when you are done with it. That way if you want to listen or watch it again later, you can import it back into the library.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

  • Syncing help please!!!!!

    i have a ipod nano 3rd gen. and synced it to my itunes and just got an itouch, but im am really scared that if i connect the itouch to the same itunes all my songs will be erased.
    this happened to me before when my sister bought an ipod classic and synced with the same itunes
    in conclusion: i was wondering if i connect the itouch to the computer would anything happen? will i still have the regular songs in my ipod and if so, do i sync both together? thanks!!!!! i really need this help

    itunes recognises each iPod as an individual. So if you connect one and then connect the other, you should not have a problem. Even if you do, there's a utility that can help get all your music back, provided u have music on 1 of the iPods.

  • Syncing help please for iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4g on new Macbook Air

    Hello,
    My name Christine Bergeron and i'm 14 years old i just got the iPad 2. I also just recently got the new MacBook Air 13-inch about a week and a half ago- two weeks. I tried syncing my iPod Touch 4g to my laptop but only 3 apps come up out of like 80 something and when i try to sync them it says it will replace the apps on my laptop (the 3 apps) with those 3. i'm also trying to do the same with my iPad but i don't want to loose everything. iTunes also downloads like half of my music and i don't know how to get the rest. Help!!!!
    Thanks,
    Christine Bergeron

  • Nokia 2330 music player help please...

    Just purchased this phone, and user guide has no info on how to download to the media player! I had hoped the PC suite would be able to be downloaded to use bluetooth, but the phone is not listed as one that is compatable with that software?! Anyone able to advise on how I'm suppose to be able to use this feature or if it is usable with the PC software?????

    Hmm. I don't have this model...so what I'm suggesting is a best guess based on the fairly simple phone model you have there:
    Well first, you'll need to convert any mp3 files you have into a mobile optimised format (AAC) as your phone isn't intended to play mp3 music and there's not a whole of space for music.
    Next use the Nokia Suite and connect your phone via BT.
    Then, go to file manager on Nokia Suite > Locate the converted music > Copy and paste/Drag and drop the file into your phone (Nokia Phone Browser > Nokia 2330 > C: ...there should be some folder for music there...)
    Then go to your music player and try to check if it's there?
    The other options are:
    1. to purchase music from online, but be careful what you buy because there's a lot of MP3 mobile music which is NOT for your phone.
    2. get a friend who has .aac format music files and have him/her bluetooth it to your phone...
    Do let me know if any of this has helped. If not, please indicate what you have tried.

  • SYNC HELP please

    Yesterday I had to reload windows on my PC. I lost everything. Today my computer is working fine. I have downloaded the latest iTunes, and was ready to sync. When I did, I lost all of the APPS that I had. both purchased and free ones. about 9 pages of Apps. can I undo a sync? or snyc from phone???

    Reloading the OS on your computer and then downloading iTunes meant that no information was contained in iTunes on the new computer. Without restoring information from the computer prior to reloading there would be on way to have the information in iTunes prior to syncing. If the information is gone from the iPhone, then it would be difficult to rebuild. The only way to get apps back at this time would be to sign in with your Apple ID, authorize that computer with your iTunes account and then check purchase history. There is an email address that Apple has from the iTunes support page to allow you to email them and describe your problem to see if they can help. Sometimes they will, sometimes not, as it is your responsibility to ensure you have your data backed up.
    Good luck.
    One other thing would be if you backed up the phone prior to syncing, you could always restore from that backup, however don't let iTunes backup the phone again before doing the restore. You may be able to recover that way.

  • App Syncing help please!

    I recently had to reinstall iTunes due to an error that prevented the program from opening. Due to my reinstall, all of my data (play count, playlists, etc.) was deleted. I have synced everything back on to my iPhone except my apps. When I check the "Sync Apps" box, iTunes asks me if I want to sync my apps because they will be deleted and replaced with ones from this computer. However, every app on my iPhone is on my computer. When I re-sync, will iTunes wipe my apps' save data? If yes, is there another way to sync my apps, such as restoring to a recently made backup? Thanks for any help in advance!

    Backup manually to your computer and restore from that backup after your phone got wiped.
    To back up manually, disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. See what's included in a backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way.
