Must I Check Every Single Movie I Want To Sync To My iPhone In iTunes?

Hey all.
This has been bugging me for a while. I'm trying to figure out how to automatically sync any and all movies I have i my iTunes library to my iPhone. As it stands now, if I, say, create a new movie or download a mp4 video podcast that is already compatible with the iPhone, it shows up and plays fine in iTunes, but upon connecting the iPhone, the movies added to the itunes library do not sync to the iphone (as would be done with any music file)
Instead I have to connect the iphone, wait until it is done syncing, then go in to the Video tab of the iphone and manually check all of the videos I just added. The sync AGAIN. This is tedious.
I don't remember it working like this with the iPods. Is there any way around this? Sometimes I will add a few videos before syncing, and then I will sync and forget that iTunes assumes I do NOT want to have these videos syced (even though undet the music tab, all new songs and playlists will be synced)
Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

Hi adam,
Try restarting your computer and then try the sync again.
Cheers,
GB

  • I have about 300 podcasts in my itunes account.  They are all checked.  I want to uncheck them all and then just check back the ones I want to sync to my Ipod. Is there a way to select all and then uncheck them?

    I have about 300 podcasts in my itunes account.  They are all cheked so they sync to my Ipod.  I want to uncheck them all at once and then check just the ones I want to sync.  Is there a way to do a "select all" vs having to uncheck them one at a time?

    Plug in your ipod and navigate to it in itunes, then select the 'Podcast' tab from along the top.
    The first line where it says 'Automatically include' then two drop down boxes saying 'all unplayed' and 'all episodes' need changing.
    Change the drop down box that says 'all episodes' so that it reads 'selected episodes'
    You should then be able to go through your collection below and check only the podcasts you want to sync.
    You can do this show by show or if you clickt the show itself in this window, on a podcast by podcast basis.
    You can use these to drop down boxes to set all kinds of rules for syncing your podcasts, such as
    syncing all the latest podcasts, or just all of them or even the last 5 recent podcasts.
    I tend to go for 'Automatically include [all unplayed] of [selected episodes]
    Then just choose which podcasts I want to listen too,
    Hopefully this picture will help you find your way ^_^

  • I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    The best solution:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up.

  • I want to sync my Voice Memos but iTunes 10.5 will not let me even with the "include voice memos" checkbox selected.

    I want to sync my Voice Memos but iTunes 10.5 will not let me even with the "include voice memos" checkbox selected. As well Ive deselected all the music in itunes so when I sync there will be none on my phone but itunes also ignores this request and puts purchased music back on. I do not have autofill selected. Also wondering where the backup of my iphone 4s is located on my hard disk. Any help greatly appreciated.

  • My husband got a new ipad and set up his apple id without looking into the implications of that.  Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id.  Any way to do this?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • I received this error msg when I wants to sync my 3gs iphone. Please help. "This Iphone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."

    I received this errir msg when I wants to sync my 3gs iPhone. And I already update my iTunes to 64-bit. "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed.Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version itunes".

    First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
    I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Cookies do not get deleted / re-appear within seconds if I delete them manually and yes I've checked every single support page about this and it didn't help

    – I have the most recent version of Firefox.
    – I have my settings in Preferences -> Privacy on "Keep third party cookies until I close Firefox".
    – I've checked "Clear history when Firefox closes" and have ticked every single box under settings (except saved passwords).
    – But still, Cookies do not get deleted when I close Firefox – there are hundreds of cookies every time I open it.
    – If I go to Tools -> Clear recent history, choose "everything" and tick every single box, history etc. get deleted but the cookies remain.
    – If I go to Preferences -> Privacy and click "Show Cookies" and then click "Remove all cookies" twice, the cookies disappear, but they're back just seconds later.
    – I've even tried going to Preferences, clicking on Exceptions and manually adding some of the websites that showed up under "show cookies" and blocking them and then deleting the cookies, but still they re-appeared within seconds, and the exceptions were blank again.
    – I've checked all your support pages about this topic.
    – I've seen this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/740598?esab=a&as=aaq and tried it and it didn't help.
    – I've seen this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/936308?esab=a&as=aaq and this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/868910?esab=a&as=aaq, and yes I do use "Do Not Track Plus" and some of the Cookies seem to be Opt-Out-Cookies but most are not.
    Please help me. I used to be a big fan of Firefox but this is getting really scary.

    You can't remove opt-cookies that are added by an extension unless you disable or uninstall that extension, so you can disable the do not track extension as a test to see if that allows to remove the cookies.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • I want to sync my ipod touch on itunes but it is telling me that i can only open it on one, what can i do so i won't have to delete anything and still be able to sync in?

    my computer got all messed up so now i am using a different user on the computer to use it. iTunes isn't letting me sync my ipod touch 4g. It keeps on saying "This ipod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPOd can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I don't think i want to try the erase and sync method because i think it will delete everything. Is there anyway that i can sync my ipod into this iTunes and not have everything deleted?

    No.
    Use your backup copy of  your computer to put everything back.

  • Have a new computer want to sync songs with iphone that is connected to old computer

    have a new laptop

    want to sync iphone to new itunes but not lose all songs saved on phone
    why do apple make things so hard? please help

    You are not addressing Apple, this is a user to user support forum. iTunes has always been designed to sync one way, from iTunes to the device. iDevices have always been able to sync to only one computer. It is the user's responsibility to back up their devices to minimize impact in case of failures. The reason this is designed this way also has to do with pirating music, sharing of music with people that do not have authorization to have it due to copyright laws.
    I'm sorry, I cannot see why you not having a backup of your computer is Apple's concern. I'd be willing to be that you have not set up any system for backing up your new computer either. Do you backup your iPhone?

  • Want to sync audiobooks to iPhone not iPad

    I have several audiobooks in iTunes and they sync with my iPhone. I just got an iPad and don't want to sync the audiobokks to it. I've tried creating a playlist but it's not showing up in iTunes.
    If someone knows how to select which device to send the audiobook to I'd appreciate the help. I've tried the forums and internet but can't seem to find a solution
    THanks

    Thanks but once you select the audiobook in the iTunes Library, there is no way that I know of to deselect it on the iPad sync unless you deselect it in the library. And then on the next iPhone sysnc it will be erased. Hope that makes sense.
    I select what to sync with my iPhone and iPad and the audiobooks do not appear there.
