On-the-go sync back to itunes

Hello,
I am using apple TV (2.2) with itunes (8.0.1) on a PC. I created an on-the-go playlist on the apple tv and syncing automatically - but the on-the-go playlist does not appear in itunes. With my ipod (5. gen) I can sync them back.
Any idea what to do?
The only way i found until now is renaming the playlist in apple tv, than it shows up in itunes.

It is working now:
just save it on apple tv as a new play list and it will be sync back to itunes.
Important: Install latest version of apple TV software (2.3.1) and itunes (8.1)

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • PDF loaded into iBooks will not sync back to iTunes

    I accessed a PDF on the web from Safari on my iPhone 4s, then opened it in iBooks.  Then I connected the iPhone to my iMac and synced with iTunes.  I was expecting the new PDF to sync back to my iTunes, but that did not happen.
    Am I to assume that PDF files loaded into iBooks on my iPhone or iPad will NOT sync back to iTunes?
    -Thanks

    It was VERY difficut, but I finally did it!
    First I was annoyed because I couldn't get the PDFs to show in my iTunes Library.  As near as I can tell, performing a backup of my iPad did that.  In the past 'Transfer Purchases' did the job.
    What nearly drove me bonkers was getting the content of my iBooks Library to sync to the device.  There was just no way to do it.  Not my PDFs and not even the purchased books!   I tried to get the Library on the left and my iPad on the right so I could drag and drop.  NOPE.
    I played around a while and finally got both to show on the screen so I could drag and drop.  STUPID
    What I think worked for me:  I started in Music Library and clicked on the +Add to icon on the top right.  This pulled up my iPad for drag and drop.  Then I switched the button on the top left from 'music' to 'books'.  Finally I could remove or add my content to iBooks.
    It worked perfectly before, why did they change it!
    The music App makes me drag and drop, which I never had to do before.  All I had to do was check or uncheck songs in a playlist and sync the playlist.
    Apps works fine, no complaints.
    Podcasts, another fine mess...
    I noticed Video was fixed when I went back in.
    Oh, the kicker, my iTunes is not responding today.

  • Will play count and playhead position sync back to iTunes?

    I have a bunch of smart playlists that contain all the unplayed episodes of my favorite podcasts. If I drag these onto the Shuffle, will the play count and playhead position from my Shuffle sync back to iTunes?
    It seems like the answer is no -- this is really a one-way copy to the Shuffle, and not a "sync".

    The iPod shuffle is supposed to maintain a "played" flag for played tracks. I don't know if podcasts will work the same way as normal tracks, but I can't think of a good reason why they wouldn't. Having said that, after the iTunes 8.1 update, my shuffle's marking the wrong tracks as "played" and leaving the actually played tracks unmarked, so until the iTunes team comes up with a fix for all the bugs they introduced in that update, anything goes.

  • Apps purchased on iOS not syncing back to iTunes

    Hi,
    I am have been having this problem. Whatever apps I purchase or update on my iOS devices, they do not sync back to iTunes. There is no error message. They just don't sync back. On a quick search, I have seen that some other people have faced the same issue but I haven't seen any solution so far.
    Here is what I am using -
    iTunes 11 on Mac OS X 10.8.2, iPhone 4S with iOS 6, iPad 3 with iOS 5.

    Here is how to transfer apps from iphone to iTunes.
    Step 1:
    First, you need to “Sign In” with Apple ID that you’ve used when downloading the applications from your iPhone. For this, go to “Store” menu entry in iTunes, and choose “Sign in” option.
    Step 2:
    Now, you will need to authorize your computer unless iTunes won’t let you transfer your iPhone applications.
    Step 3:
    Right click on the name of your iPhone in the left hand explorer bar of iTunes and select “Transfer Purchases” option. If you use multiple accounts to buy apps on your iPhone, then you will have to repeat these first two steps with each iTunes account.
    Step 4.
    You can use iPhone Transfer to transfer app from iPhone to iTunes.

  • Apple TV not syncing back to itunes

    Strange things happening here...
    At some point I bought a song on my apple tv. When syncing to itunes, I got a message saying the song could not be synced (i guess it was corrupt, but I checked "don't show this message again", so I can't reproduce the error message).
    Now, every time I start itunes, it tries to sync with atv, but always tries to sync the corrupt file and fails.
    Not too big of a problem, but somehow the atv doesn't sync back to itunes at all, since the 10 other songs I bought since then, seem to have the same problem of not syncing back to itunes, although itunes seems to try and sync for approx. 45 secs or so...
    Now, a few questions :
    1) How do I get itunes to show the error message again, so I can check if the new songs have the same problem.
    2) How can I delete the 1 song that started all this trouble from atv ?
    3) In the worst case scenario, how do I format the atv, so I can start from scratch again?
    Thanks

    OK, just posting this because it might help others...
    This afternoon, I got ready to call the local apple support, and with the phone in my hand I started up itunes.
    And you won't believe this, but it synced beautyfully, in both directions ...
    What the * ?
    There has only been 1 change on my mac, and that's the installation of the latest security update !!!
    So my calculated guess would be, that the last security update closed certain ports, that atv needs to sync back to itunes, and that this security update opened those ports again...
    I can only hope the next update won't f*ck things up again.
    Anyway, my problem is solved, and I hope a lot of others out there are fine too after installing the 2009-001 security update.

  • How can I delete songs from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes?

    How can I delete songs (forever) from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes automatically?
    My settings are , handle songs manually.
    Best regards PelleRPG

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • What happened to the nifty "sync" button in iTunes? It syncs as soon as I plug it in, and that's great! BUT! When I go to the iTunes Store and buy new stuff, I can't just 'sync' the device again so my new stuff gets added. Why?

    Nothing happened to it.
    It is still there.  Maybe it says apply now, not sure, but it is still there.

    Genius Recommended Song List
    I think I figured out how to access the genius Recommended Songs sidebar. This should help those of you who, like me, use genius to find new music from the iTunes Store, instead of just to create genius playlists. It appears that you CAN access my beloved Recommended Song list from iTunes 11...only NOT from your library's Songs page, but through the Albums or Artists pages.
    1. Click on a song you want to see Genius Recommendations for so the song row is highlighted.
    2. Go to either the Albums or Artists page by clicking the appropriate button at the top of the library screen.
    3. Click "In The Store" at the top right of the new popup screen:
    On the Albums Page:

  • Purchased movies on Apple TV no longer sync back to iTunes on computer

    Many TIA, the movies I have purchased on the Apple TV via iTunes have stopped syncing back to my computer. They initially did, but stopped about 4-6 weeks ago. It syncs movies just fine from Computer's iTunes to the Apple TV, but not the other way. I am afraid I'm going to lose the content if something goes hinky.
    It will show very briefly in the activity window that it is syncing the 14 movies, then it just stops and moves on to other tasks. I have changed nothing that would account for this stoppage other than software updates. It uses a wireless connection via a new airport extreme.
    Any thoughts?

    I have the same issue where I can make purchase via itunes and it syncs with ATV. However the reverse from ATV to itunes does not. I saw an earlier post in the year to deauthorize the account on itunes that fixed the problem- tried that on itunes and then selected the transfer from ATV to itunes on the file menu and was unsuccessful. All software is current using itunes 8.02.2
    It was working previously so I am not sure if an ATV software upgrade caused this or not.

  • Apple TV movie purchase doesn't sync back to iTunes

    I'd recently purchased a movie directly from within Apple TV but it is not synchronizing back to iTunes. The content on my computer synchronizes correctly to the Apple TV but my purchases and rentals are not synchronizing back the other way.
    I've tried removing the synchronization settings from both the computer and the Apple TV and then setting it back up again. My music synchronizes over but -- again -- my movie sits happily on the Apple TV but not in iTunes.
    When I look at the movie on the Apple TV, it has the little trash can indicator next to it.
    I'm using Apple TV 2.1 and iTunes 7.7.1 (on a MacBook Pro).
    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    I have a similar issue. Just got an Apple TV and synced it to iTunes on MacBook Pro and everything worked fine - got about 7gb of photo and music content synced to ATV without any issues.
    However, when I purchased a TV episode on ATV, the whole setup is stuck. Every time I start a sync on iTunes, it tries to sync the purchased file (about 500mb) from ATV to iTunes first, before getting to the photos and music sync in the other direction. The problem is that iTunes completely hangs in about 20-30% into the copy process, with the coloured wheel mouse cursor running infinitely.
    I've now upgraded the software components (ATV to 2.2, iTunes to 8.0.1), tried removing the ATV relationship to computer and adding it back again, restarting both ATV and MBP in the process, also removed com.apple.itunes.plist as some forum suggested. Nothing, it ends still in the same place. I am yet to do a full reset to ATV, as I'd prefer not to loose the purchased file, which I do not have any copies of outside the ATV.
    Through the attempts the ATV now is empty of any photos/music that were synced to there before, there is just the one sad little purchased episode. And I can not add anything back, as iTunes always starts with the purchase sync... which fails.
    One thing some sites are hinting to but I haven't quite understood is the notion of primary and secondary iTunes Store authorizations. The iTunes account I use was created on a separate PC version of iTunes. However, the MBP is authorized too and I've used it to add credit, etc.
    Any thoughts?

  • How do you "sync back to iTunes" with Games?

    I bought a game with iTunes on my MacBook, then synced it over to my iPod 30 GB. I want to know if the "sync back" feature will work on iTunes on my PowerMac G4? Both machines are "authorized" but the game does not show up on itunes when I look at my iPod. I am afraid that if I sync "all games" when the game is not on the list, I will lose it.

  • Applications sync back to itunes

    I downloaded some free applications from my ipod touch using the app store and I also bought one, but when I sync my ipod to itunes the applications that I downloaded from my ipod touch do not appear in the applications library in itunes. The only applications that appear in itunes are the ones I downloaded from itunes and not the ones I downloaded from my ipod touch. What should I do to make them appear and transferred into itunes?

    Try manually transferring the apps back to iTunes instead of iTunes doing it automatically.
    Go to File > Transfer Purchases from iPod and this should cure the problem.

  • Ipod does not sync back to itunes

    Hi there,
    just got the new 80GB iPod and have a problem when I sync my iPod back with iTunes. iTunes seems to load new media on it (pictures, music etc.) but sometimes 'drops' everything I did on my iPod since the last sync. I was very disappointed as I just rated about 60 songs and when I plugged it back in, iTunes told me I had not played any songs in the past two days and none of the ratings were transfered to iTunes on my Mac. The iPod did NOT run our of battery and I did NOT change the ID3-Tags in iTunes of all the songs before syncing again.
    On my past iPods I noticed that songs that have been changed in iTunes will not get the ratings of the iPod but I never experienced the complete "ignorance" of me listening to any music on my iPod.
    Also, probably not related to this issue: Has anyone ever had the new iPod not skipping songs when you pressed the next or previous track buttons? I sometimes cannot skip but still navigate or scroll through the menus etc.
    Thanks for any help - I never had those problems with my first and fourth generation iPod.

    formatting the ipod resolved the problem for me, and also on a friends ipod with the same problem (160GB version)
