One Sync and your done...

I have had my 5G for a week or so now. When i sync it, if there are new songs to be added, its happy as larry (however happy he is). If i try to sync it again later i.e. in the same session on my PC it updates but only displays 'iPod Update completed' or something similar Not 'iPod Update Completed, Ok to Disconnect'. When i try and disconnect it my computer/iTunes ay its being used by another program when it clearly isn't. Even shutting down iTunes doesn't help. I have to force my computer to eject it. And then this causes it to hang when i tell it to shut down. Anyone have the same problem, and a resolution? Thanks.

Photos in the camera roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen.

  • HT2513 Why do some events sync and others don't?

    I have an iMac 27" running OSX 10.6.8 and a latest model iPod Touch which I have syncing with the iMac and is running iOS 6.1.2.
    I first noticed that they weren't syncing reliably when I lined up some Apple Store classes.
    I DLed the iCal events and double clicked on them. They show up in the desktop iCal but some do and some don't on the iPod Touch.
    The same happens with events I create myself. Some Sync and some don't. I did these all in the same session, so can't understand what is the difference.
    I have all Callendars checked in the iPod's Calendars app.
    I have tried restarting both the desktop and Mac apps and even restarting both devices completely.
    The missing events just stubbornly refuse to show up.
    Can anyone else think what else to try.
    To be frank looking at the whole process of importing events from the Apple Store, down to the adding of my own events and then syncing them is a tedious shambles. Certainly not something that "just works".

    Hopefully, your question will get a response soon.
    Similar issue.
    I too am running 10.6.&.
    iOS is 6.1.2 (iPhone 4S).
    In my case, there are far more events that fail to sync than sync properly. But there is no rhyme or reason to any of it that I can see.

  • Can't sync all ringtones, some get sync, and some don't even though I clearly have them all checked.

    I've created my AAC file and then changed it to m4r mode and then I copied it back to the tones section of iTunes. Everything is fine at this stage. Then when I try to sync all my tones, some get sync and some don't even though I clearly have all of them checked. So I click the all tones box instead and sync, then other tones which previously have not been synced are synced and those that were synced previously do not get synced. I've tried everything, from making duplicates of songs to even deleting my tones and re-syncing. I've taken over an hour to sync and still unsuccessful. Why is it so complicated just to sync a few tones? Is apple trying to discourage customers from using custom ringtones and only those from the iTunes store? Im so ready to just throw my phone... It's so much easier to transfer tones over using an android phone since I dont have to use some stupid software by android and sync when i can just drag and drop.
    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks in advance

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • I forgot My iPhone 5s passcode and can't remember what can I do because it is lock for 1 min. Then 5 min. Then one hour and I don't know what to do ????

    I forgot My iPhone 5s passcode and can't remember what can I do because it is lock for 1 min. Then 5 min. Then one hour and I don't know what to do ????

    If you forgot the passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  If it is running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 (or erase it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com).

  • Please, please,please help me find a recovery key. Without it I cannot sync, and your instructions don't work!

    I click on the Firefox tab, then "options" and THERE IS NO "Manage Account" and, therefore, NO RECOVERY KEY. Help me, please! Both my computers are Windows: one Win7, one Win8. I've spent hours and hours -- in multiple sessions over a period of months -- trying to solve this.

    Thanks, Ibai and cor-el for responsing to my plea for help.
    Ibai's response -- in particular his query about syncing two un-synced computers and his observation that I shouldn't need a recovery key -- made me realize that I had registered for some reason or another with Firefox back whenever, and that registration was gumming up the works. Firefox assumed I had previously synced, and now needed to re-synch (I guess). With this realization, I re-registered under another username, and (lo!) I started getting the cues I was expecting.
    I'm synced, and am presently exploring the Tile Tabs add-on and totally happy again with Firefox.

  • Some songs sync and some don't....

    I can get some of my songs to sync to my nano, but others don't and no error message pops up. I can sometimes get them to sync IF I add them to a playlist, but that shouldn't be required. There is no exclamation mark to let me know there is a problem locating the song and they play just fine as long as I have itunes open, but don't sync...I have enough memory, and I have my settings selected to where only checked songs sync and it is checked.....
    I have turned on and off my computer, nano, internet, etc.....
    Any advise....

    I am having very similar issues, I purchased an album on my iPhone and it's not showing up on my iPad or Mac and I have iTunes Match plus it should auto update based on the fact it's all one account!!!
    Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2 problems I am sure!!

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

  • I have more than one ID and I don't remember the password to the old one which I purchased music under nor do I have the old email account...

    Please help...I have one than more IDs. I cant remember the password or the email account that I purchased most of my music under. My computer is authorized under my current ID but not my old one. When I try to enter the answers to my security questions I get an error message that my birthdate is wrong.... any thoughts?...

    If you can't reset the password by email, and you put the wrong date of birth on your account, then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset the password for you (they should be able to if they can confirm your id and that it's your account).
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When it's been reset you can login to the account on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password & Security section of your account, answer your security questions, and check your date of birth

  • How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

    How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

    Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)?  To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
    Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar.  If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Audiobooks there.  To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
    NOTE:  if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
    When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list.  Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list.  You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

  • IPad 7.0.4 update. Won't let me back into iPad unless I sync. I don't have a computer to sync to and can't get into my iPad unless I do sync. How do I proceed and get back into my iPad?

    Software update has prevented me getting back into my iPad unless I sync it. It has never ever been synced and I don't own a computer to sync it to. How do I proceed?

  • Syncing and Simplifying Libraries

    Just got a nano for my son and I want to put his iPhone 4 music library on it. That library has no corresponding iMac library as we somehow seem to have created a new account for his direct d'loads to his phone that is different than the account on our iMac. He wants some music from the imac library and all the music from his phone library to end up on his nano. I want this all to be one library. So, can I sync the phone and iMac libraries, then delete the unwanted tracks from the iMac library then sync remaining music to the nano.
    What is the right way to go about this?
    BTW, A  backup always precedes a sync and I don't wish to include apps. Where can I instruct program not to back them up? Can't find it on the apps page.
    (This posted in error in the nano section, sorry)

    We need to get some terminology straight:
    iTunes Store account - A store account.  Not something on your computer but the online interface to the store.  What you are using when you have to enter an AppleID and a password either in iTunes or on an iOS device.
    Computer account -  Different user areas (accounts) on a computer can each have an iTunes library.
    iTunes Library - A collection of media files and folder which are what you see when you are using the iTunes application.  Some people call this an account too, but it isn't.
    A library on a computer is not neecessarily associated with a single store account, though it certainly can be.  So this one that is on the iMac already, is that to be his, or still shared, or what?  You say yours is elsewhere so I take it it is not on the iMac, or is it?
    One step will be to get the content from the phone to the iTunes library that will be his.  You can either transfer from the phone to the library or re-download purchases directly to the account.  If you attach a phone which has never been connected to a library before it will want to erase content on the phone but will let you transfer store purchases only which can be re-synced back to the phone.
    Another step if you decide to set up a new library for him on the imac will be to transfer the extra content he wants.  This may be as simple as adding existing files to his library though again compleity is presnt in your deciding if you want to share files with him or have his own copy (which might be a better idea if you're not talking many files).
    After all this syncing the nano will be easy.

  • ICal won't sync to mobile me, iPhone, or iPad.  On my iMac I went to preferences, mobile me, set it to sync, and even did a sync-now.  It syncd everything else, contacts etc, but not iCal.  Went to calendar preferences and it won't let me sync at the bott

    Contacts etc sync fine.  Went to calendar preferences and it won't let me sync cuz it says:  Your mobileme suscr info is not correct or you did not turn on sync in mobile me prefs  - well, my mobile me subscription must be ok, I'm in and out of it easily enough, checked the acct fields, and my other stuff is working fine.  I did go to mobile me prefs and it is all set to sync, calendar is checked, it says the last sync was 15 min ago.  Ak!  What is up?  I did just upgrade the mobile me calendar.  Is that my problem?

    There's no simple answer to that. My calendar goes back to 2004 and is moderately busy; it took around an hour. It's possible that you've hit a slow period on the server - it happens.
    In order for it to work, your calendars should show on the MobileMe site, they should be listed under your MobileMe login name in the calendar list in iCal (calendars listed under 'On My Mac' will not sync) and your MM account details have to be entered in iCal Preferences>Accounts (this should have happened by itself).
    If it's not working please see the page I linked to.

  • 2 videos, same format, only one syncing.  Why?

    I have 2 home movies. One will sync and the other will not. I have tried converting the file 1 billion times using MPEG Streamclip and Handbrake. Nothing works. They are both the very same format. Both are MPEG-4, 720x576, H.264, AAC. So, why will one sync and not the other?

    Which default setting are you using for the conversion with HandBrake?
    Since I have an Apple TV, I use the Apple TV default setting which also allows for transferring the video to my iPhone.

    I want to use one apple id in my macbook and iPad but i don't want pics to get sync and show in both devices, how should i stop this ?

    Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).
