My classic iPod is syncing all songs instead of just the ones checked

my iPod classic is syncing all songs from library rather than just the ones checked and is not giving me the pull-up screen to make this change

To stop it from syncing automatically when you plug it in, in iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences. Click Devices. Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”
If you click on your device name (from the left side menu) you can check "manually manage music".
You can choose what to sync with that selected .

Ipod always syncing all songs

Hi
Everytime I connect my ipod it syncs all of my songs, even when nothing has changed since the last sync. Any ideas what this could be????
Chris

This seems to have resolved similar issues in the past.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Summary tab then tick *Manully manage music*.
Click OK then eject the iPod.
Unplug it then plug it back in.
Open iTunes and select it in iTunes.
Click the Summary tab then untick *Manually manage music* and untick *Enable disk use*.
Click OK.
I tshold now sync correctly.

CAN I ENLARGE THE SIZE OF ALL TRACKS AND NOT JUST THE ONE TRACK AT A TIME

I would like to enlarge the tracks on the top half of the mix screen and not just the one track I'm working on. I find that most times I'm working in 2 or 3 tracks only and it would be great if I could enlarge the size of those to work with rather than the thin tracks they appear as. I realize if I click on one that it will appear larger below to edit but can I have all the tracks recorded appear larger?

Trying to download just ONE audiobook... it downloaded them all! even though I have "selected" and just the one checked -- help!

i downloaded the iTunes update to 11.1. Normally I just download one audio boo to my iPhone (5) at one time, this time, even though I had "selected audiobooks" checked and just the one audio book checked, it downloaded all of them. That's taking up almost a gig of space on my 16G phone. Before I realized it was trying to download every book, i deleted about 500 pictures (okay, I really needed to delete them anyway...) along with a bunch of apps I never use, to make room for what I thought was just the one new book I purchased.... is there a fix for this?

Hi!
This could be done in many ways so it's quite hard to pin point what's going on and how it's done.
The first thing I would do is to reset the the router you have, creating a new password for loging on in case they have gained access this way, then create a new password for the wireless network if you are using it.
Then reinstall your computer, if they/you have installed some software and gotten a Trojan, the only way to get rid of it to 100% is to reinstall. There is no meaning in trying to find it and uninstalling it since it's gotten this far allready.
Depending on what router you have, you might be able to get the logs and see from where they are connecting and trying to pinpoint their location.
There are probably other ways to find out more, but if this happened to me, the first thing I would do is to get rid of the problem, ignoring who they are.
Best regars

Syncing all podcasts instead of just some

My iPhone has been running out of space a lot recently so I decided to set the phone's Podcast settings within iTunes to 'Automatically include 10 most recent unplayed episodes of all podcasts'. Instead of trying to sync all the podcasts that I've subscribed to and fit them all on my iPhone.
Unfortunately, I've tried syncing this many times and yet the iPhone's podcast app still tries to download ALL podcasts and continuously fills my phone.
Why isn't the iPhone syncing only 10 most recent unplayed of each subscription?

Thanks for your assistance. Yes, I have done all that too actually. I ended up unticking Podcast syncing in my itunes and removing the entire app from my phone. I then changed the phone's settings in iTune's to sync only the 10 podcasts and re-installed the app. It's still trying to sync all podcasts though. When I go into my Podcasts App on the phone it says '67 items downloading' and many of the podcasts have a never-ending list of audio...

How do I view all my movies, not just the ones I have downloaded

I have a few movies I downloaded off the Itunes store but I cant seem to find them on my itunes movie list. All that is listed are the movies I have downloaded to the hard drive and not the ones I have in the cloud. THe movies show up on my other devices.

Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities

When I send an email message, my Mail shows two messages outgoing instead of just the one I am sending. What is going on?

When I send an email message, my Mail shows two messages outgoing instead of just one.
What is going on? Is it possible some "spyware" has crept in?

There is an email address on my website that automatically forwards to my "regular" email address, but this problem predates setting up that website. My primary email is a bellsouth account (AT&T) which switched to a Yahoo mail-supported service....so based on your comments, perhaps that is why the activity is looking weird.

Ipod tries to sync all songs instead of checked ones...

So I'm having a slightly similar problem to others that have written before in that my computer doesn't seem to recognize the ipod. When I plug it in a message is displayed claiming that "there is no disc in drive e"; but this doesn't seem to interfere since songs will still go on the ipod and it will still charge. The main problem I'm having is that Itunes keeps telling me that I have too many songs for the available space, when I know that isn't true since the last time I plugged it into the computer it accepted all the songs. I will un-check songs to try to create more space, but the same message is displayed. It won't allow me to pick the option of only syncing the checked songs and therefore it keeps trying to put un-checked songs onto the ipod.

If it has a click wheel and a 20GB drive, it's a 4th gen.
It is possible that the iPod's hard drive is going bad. Two things you can try...
First, use Windows to reformat the iPod's hard drive. You can do so in a My Computer or Windows Explorer window. Don't use any quick format options; use a full format. It is possible that this procedure will error out or otherwise not complete (for the same reason there is a problem with syncing). But if it does complete, run iTunes and immediately use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software. Then try syncing again.
If you still have problems, or formatting does not complete successfully, the other thing you can try is to open the iPod, disconnect the battery, and check the connections between the hard drive and the logic board. There are two connection points. Disconnect them and inspect them for any corrosion. Reconnect them and then the battery, making sure there is no looseness. Before closing the iPod, try doing a Restore again, followed by syncing.
Here is a helpful guide.

Multiple SMS instead of just the one SMS??

I've just got a blackberry curve 8900 and i have a sms problem!
When somebody texts me, but goes over the characters of 1 text message (normally around 500) ... i get 2 texts =s ... so if someone texts me wusing 600 characters, i get 2 indervidual texts... most of the time its in a muddled up order if its more then 2 texts long... Its hard to explain! My old curve 8900 didn't (up until it'd been sent off to be fixxed)
Anybody know how i can change it so i get the full text on one message?
Help me pleaseeeeeee! Its driving me mad!

It might have something do do with the carrier. I have heard that if you type a long sms from a t-mobile phone to a t-mobile phone, it will come in one big sms message and if you do the same from t-mobile to AT&T or Verizon, it will be broken up into two or more sms messages.
Hope this helps you figure out the prob.

When sending email Apple Mail is sending from both accounts instead of only the one I send it from

I have 2 mail accounts, one for me and one for my wife. When I now send mail it is being sent from both accounts instead of just the one it was sent from. How do I stop this and why is it happening? Nothing new has occurred and all updatees are current.

Both accounts are Gmail accounts too. FYI

Can I teach my apple air to ask me if I want to close all tabs or just the one I am working on? If so how? Thank you

I keep closing down all my open tabs instead of just the one I am on. Can I set up a prompt to ask me if I am sure this is what I want to do?

It's a MacBook Air. Not an Apple Air. We already know it's an Apple product. And no, there isn't any way. But if you would like a warning, you can download a browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

IPod touch won't sync all songs in playlist

My son bought a brand-new iPod touch yesterday. He has been trying to compile his playlist and sync it to the new iPod. He has 41 songs on his playlist and only 22 of them will sync. They are all in the iTunes library and the iPod library, but not on the playlist. We tried changing Settings>Music>Group by Album Artist>Off, and that doesn't work. We've also created new playlists and tried syncing those, and that doesn't work either. Today, I noticed that my iPod Touch is doing the very same thing. We have the most recent software and many of the songs were purchased directly through iTunes.
Any thoughts? We've had my son's iPod for 2 days and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am paying Apple support for help on something that seems to be an inbred error on their part.
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem as well and tried so many of these solutions, but no luck. I just got a new laptop with windows 8 and when I hooked my iTouch4 to my computer it only show 36 songs out of 509 of the ones I have on my iTouch. (I was freaking out because I thought windows 8 had something to do with it, but as usual I was being paranoid )
I found a way to put the rest of my music on my USB and hooked it to my laptop and put that music in a separate folder. I had all of them play onto iTunes. Now they all worked on iTunes, but I realized they didn't really sync onto my iTouch. To test it out a bought a new song on iTunes and clicked "sync" onto my iTouch, but nothing happened.
So I started searching for answers, but none of the methods solved my problem. So I started messing around with it and realized that the problem was ACTUALLY A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
So this is what I did...
1) Start playing one of the songs that won't sync to your iTouch4
(don't know how to sync all songs at once yet)
2) Now right click at the top bar of iTunes where it shows the song playing
right click on album picture
3) Then scroll to "Add to Playlist"
the arrow of "Add to Playlist" will show a list of your own playlists and the name of your iPod
4) Click on the name of your iPod Ex) Robert's iPod
5) Then (you can stop playing song at this point) click on iPod device
This should right away take you to "Summary"
6) Instead of being on "Summary" look for "On This iPod" - Click it
7) Now "On This iPod" show a list of all the music that is currently on your iTouch
(including the song you just added from iTunes by following these steps)
8) Make sure all the songs you want in the list have been marked with a "check mark"
9) Then click "sync"
Check iTouch to see if song downloaded...
*If not then - still on "On This iPod" - click on "Autofill"
(Wait for it to load)
Now click "sync"
You should now have the songs on your iTouch as well!
It's a simple solution, but I haven't seen anyone advicing it and I wish they had so I didn't have to go through all this trouble
Hopefully this helps!!!

IPod Classic doesn't sync all music in my library

My iPod Classic doesn't sync all my music. When I view my music files, the files that do not sync re not bold like the ones that sync correctly. All files play on my computer.

The iPod can only Sync with one Library.
Your best option would be to add all the songs to one Library and then Sync with that.

I need to move my library to a new computer. This is music downloaded from CD's. Is the only way to do this is to sync all songs to my ipod and they transfer them to the new computer?

I need to move my library to a new computer. my music is downloaded CD's. Is the only way to do this to sync all songs to the ipod and them sync to new computer. the new computer is already authorized.

If using a Mac, use Migration Assistant to move your iTunes library from old computer to new. Afterwards you can sync from your new computer to your iPod.
