Music Videos automatically syncing to iPhone (although I don't know why)

Hi.
I have iTunes 10 and and iPhone 3GS on IOS 5.0.1.
I have purchased a number of music videos from the iTunes store for playing on my Apple TV.  But...  they are automatically syncing to my iPhone, and taking up space on there, which is annoying.  Even when I uncheck the master 'Sync Music' tab on the iPhone's device menu, and uncheck the 'sync music videos' option, they still get onto my iPhone.
I have also purchased films and TV programmes from iTunes, but they aren't causing an issue.
Any ideas?  It's really annoying.

Yes.  This is what you friend would need to do.  He (she) would need to start by saving any photo stream photos on his phone to his camera roll unless they are already there.  To do this, he should go to his my photo stream album, tap Select (Edit in iOS 6), tap the photos, tap the share icon--box with upward pointing arrow (Share in iOS 6), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then he should go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  (If he is running iOS 7 he will be prompted to also enter his iCloud password to turn off Find My iPhone.)  This will only delete his iCloud data from his phone, not from his iCloud account.  His data will sync back to his phone when he signs back in.
Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone and sign in with your Apple ID to create your new account.  Leave all other settings off and do not choose Merge with iCloud if you are prompted (since you do not want his data in your new account).  Then tap Delete Account to delete your new account from his phone (and provide your password if prompted to turn off Find My iPhone).
Then your friend can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, sign back in with his iCloud ID and his data will sync back to his phone as it was before.
Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and sign in with your Apple ID.  Since you are signing into an existing iCloud account this time you will not receive the prompt that your phone is not allowed to create.  Then you shoudl be good to go.

  • Automatic sync is desactivate and I do not know why. I mus click on the icon to launch it. Info says : Firefox Sync1.7 false. How can I re-activate automatic s

    Firefox 11, windows 7
    Sync used to work normally, but now, in info, it reads :
    services.sync.autoconnect
    I checked in about:config and services.sync.autoconnect is set to true.
    In the windows option/sync, there is no link and no button for set up or configuration

    Thank you for answering and sorry about the scribble above. I do it again.
    In about:config, services.sync.autoconnect is set to true
    The automatism of the synchronization seems to be activated : when I open Firefox, and when I add a new password, or a new bookmark, a small message is displayed at the bottom of the page, saying that there is a connecting problem and the password is not right. "Sync a rencontré une erreur lors de la synchronisation : nom d'utilisateur ou mot de passe incorrect. Sync essaiera de nouveau cette action automatiquement.
    So I try to force the password anew, it says the password has been renewed . And 5 minutes later it says that sync has failed, and ask me a new password. Well, it does not work.
    And now that sync is included in Firefox, what can I done to set everything right ?
    I uninstalled an re-installed Firefox 11. To no avail It still says that there is a connecting error

  • HT4527 I can't find any of my previous purchases.  I had to buy a new computer because the old one died, and I also upgraded my iPhone.  I don't know why the music I previously purchased isn't stored in my iTunes account...?

    I can't find any of my previous purchases after upgrading my computer and iPhone - are they still in my iTunes account somewhere?

  • Video quality poor after placing into timeline, don't know why?

    I've done some screen capture with Camtasia on a Windows machine. When I import it into FCP X the quality is fine when viewing prior to placing into the timeline. After I put it in the timeline I find that while editing that the video playback is now blurry, as is the exported media. I'm not sure what's causing this, can someone help?
    Thanks in advance.
    B

    I set the Playback to High Quality and that didn't help. Thanks for the tip! I'll continue to dig into this problem. What's odd is that my first few projects with learning how to use FCP I used GoPro output and I never saw this issue, but that is HD output.
    Thanks,

  • ITunes does not automatically sync when iPhone is connected

    I upgraded to an iPhone 3g and I am unable to select the "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" option. It is greyed out in the iPhone Summary Tab in iTunes. I would like to automatically sync when I connect the iphone to my mac. How can I get this option available to me?

    At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences.
    Under the Devices tab, is "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" selected?

  • Don´t want to play music videos automatically when playing a Single

    I´m using iTunes 11.
    Its very annoying that iTunes plays music videos automatically when I´m listening to a single I bought on iTunes Store which includes a music video.  I don´t have a problem with it when the video appears in my music library, but I don´t want to watch it when I only want to hear music and iTunes is minimized.
    I could create a playlist, but I don´t want to because for two tracks it´s worthless.
    So does anyone have a workaround for this issue?`

    When in iTunes, click on file, then preferences. See the "general" tab. There is a drop down menu "When you insert a CD". What are your settings there ?

  • HT1535 ting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied" does i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on anyone know why ?

    i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be Applied" has anyone had a similar problem? and what should i do ?

    I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
    But.
    I too had a similar problem and an "error" message (waiting for changes to be applied)
    - my thoughts were:
    Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
    Corruption
    Itunes software issue
    After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
    I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
    This can be viewed when you click on your device - right up the top you'll see tabs
    SUMMARY / INFO / APPS / TONES / MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS / BOOKS / PHOTOS etc.
    I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
    Wha La!
    It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
    BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    It certainly made my life less frustrating
    Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
    NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

  • Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help..

    HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
    Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

    Day after yesterday night, my iphone 4s full off, I don't know why? but not oppen and not charging. What do I do?

    Plug it in to power for at least 15 minutes.  If it doesn't automatically come on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • HT4972 I need to update my Iphone but I don't know where to begin.  The phone is plugged into my computer so where do I go now???  Thanks for your help!!

    I need to update my Iphone but I don't know where to begin.  The phone is plugged into my computer, but I
    don't know what to do after that.  Thanks for any help!!

    Before updating, import all you photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or another service such as Google, with a supported application such as Outlook or Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup.  Then open iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update.

  • Just noticed that when I close my mail app by double clicking the home button and swiping up it dies something weird. After doing this when I open my mail, instead of showing all my mailboxes it automatically opens one of them instead. Anyone know why?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
