Phone keeps launching itunes through remote sync

Not sure how to disable wireless sync but need to sort out some kind of resolution. Recently its launching itunes every 30secs or so and the only way to stop it is to turn wifi off on my iphone. I thought it only wifi syncs when connected to a charger but its now doing this wirelessly which can be very annoying.
Strangley though, my ipad 2, set up in the same way, even when plugged into the wall and on charge over night, does not do this, infact it would be fine if it woreless synced overnight when on charge as my laptop is not in use and I could do with purchases beeing added for the next day, but right now the phone is really causing me a problem.

Unfortunately, that did not work. Sometimes I leave the iPhone hooked up to the MBP just to keep it charged and to sync as needed when I am working my calendar, address book, pod subscriptions, etc. So this is not an issue of when I connect, but as I am working, suddenly for no apparent reason (like right now) I hear the phone bleep and up pops iTunes. Almost seems like a short of some kind except that, as I said, I have used two different USB cables and the same thing happens. It does NOT happen, however, with my iPod... just the iPhone.

  • IPhone keeps launching iTunes

    Original iPhone (2.2.1), USB cable to MBPro. Every two or three minutes the phone automatically launches iTunes. Auto sync is disabled, and I have tried with two different USB cables. Very annoying to have iTunes popping up every few minutes. Anyone know how to stop this.

  • How do i keep 2 iTunes libraries in sync

    Hi
    I am sure this must have been asked before BUT, how do I keep 2 iTunes libraries in sync?
    Some of the music is is purchased from Applestore but most is ripped from my CD's.
    Some of my films are purchased from Applestore but most are ripped from my DVD's or digital downloads.
    Most of my books are from audible.co.uk, CD rips and a very few from Applestore.
    I need/want to keep my primary iMac (which syncs with my iPad and iPhone) in sync with my home media server which is a Mac Mini.
    Andy and all help would be hugely appreciated.
    Regards.
    Robin
    PS I have tried MyTuneSync but this duplicates lots of files and does not handle deletions at all well.
    I have also tried SuperSync, this is hugely confusing, does not seem to wrok very well and has ZERO support.

    What did you copy over?
    I keep my iTunes library on an external hard disk on both machines as it is over 1.5Tb in size.
    But you still have the 'management' part of iTunes in the local iTunes folder and this does not get updated when you add sometthing from one machine onto the other?
    I do actually owned Synk but am sure I saw somewhere they do not suggest using it for iTunes?

  • HT4623 If I synchronise my Ipad with my computer, will books I have bought from Kindle on my ipad be saved in itunes through the sync or will I lose them?

    You will not lose them and you will not be able to transfer them into iTunes. Your Kindle books are maintained in your Amazon account, not in iTunes. You manage all of your Kindle books with Amazon.com.
    However, if you have never synced with iTunes before, you may need to make the iTunes library your syncing library. Have you synced with this computer before?

  • Keeping my iTunes Libraries in Sync

    My wife and I share a single iTunes library from separate accounts on an iMac (actually I have two accounts - one for me and one for work, for a total of 3). The song files are on an external HD, the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files are in each individual account's Music folder.
    I load most of the music into the shared library via my personal account - CDs, iTunes Music Store purchases, an occasional freebie .mp3 from elsewhere. As far as I know, the only way for those songs to show up in the other two library listings is for them to be added in each instance of iTunes via the "Add to Library..." command, which can be a major pain when I go on a buying binge. Is there another way to update the other two accounts more efficiently?
    Also, does anyone know what data beside the actual song is stored with the song file itself and what is stored in the iTunes Library or iTunes Music Library.xml files? It seems that the artist, song title, album artist, album title, any comments, the year and length of the song all transfer with the song, but I'm not sure about other fields. Apple keeps adding view options and I don't know where to find documentation on all of this stuff. Does anyone know or even care about things at this level any more?
    Finally, one of my libraries says that it has 15,972 entries in it and the other says it has 15,985 - I believe that they are identical. So I exported a text copy of each library and loaded them to Excel and found that there were exactly the same number of entries in each copy. (I even compared the spreadsheets to make sure that the contents were in fact the same.) It's hard enough keeping track of all this stuff as it is, but when the numbers don't match, it can drive you nuts. Any ideas on how to fix this disparity, short of reloading one or the other of the libraries?
    Thanks

    Even though this is an old thread, one way to sync your iTunes library is to use rsync and Automator. If you're doing it that way, you can also sync your movies, audiobooks, podcasts, etc. from one computer to another which was an advantage for me. I just bought a MacBook Air and I had the same problem as you. Here's my solution: http://leolabs.org/blog/idevices/keeping-itunes-libraries-in-sync/

  • Keeping Two iTunes Libraries in Sync.

    When iCloud became available, I was stoked to be able to sync the iTunes library on my work computer with my home computer. I thought that the cloud would keep my work computer up to date, updating new purchases automatically.  However, that doesn't seem to be the case.  My latest purchases on my home computer are not showing up on my work computer.  What do I have to do to keep these two in sync?  Is there a way to do it automatically?

  • I phone not saving itunes music after sync with imac

    When I sync my Iphone 4 with itunes on my iMac, it does not save my playlists or all of my music. When it is connected with the usb cable it shows up on the iphone but as soon as I disconnect it is gone. For some reason it is showing up on my ipad2 but I cannot shuffle any of the songs on the ipad I have to hit them one by one to play them or they just keep repeating themselves over and over.I do have them set up to wirelessly sync, but when I noticed my music was not there I tried to sync with the usb cable.When I plug in the iphone to the imac, I get a message that says no camera found same thing with the iPad2. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
    Thanks Karen

  • Why am I having trouble keeping my itunes and ATV synced?

    After syncing my Itunes with Apple TV, everything, movies, music, photos, etc. shows up on my apple tv under My Movies, etc. First question is, Are my movies, etc, now on the hard drive of the apple TV? Next question, With the material on the hard drive of the ATV, do I need to have my MacBook open for syncing. What is happening is after I sync, and close my MacBook, when I go to my movies, ATV tell me I have no movies. Once I open the MacBook and go to Itunes, it syncs up again and my movies are there. Am I wrong in thinking once I have synced and the movies, music, photos should be ready to pull without my MacBook on or open.
    If I take my MacBook to work, and my wife wants to watch something, how do I keep everything loaded on the ATV hard drive.
    Any help is appricated, Thanks

    It sounds like you have your ATV set to "stream" from you Macbook instead of sync. Check the settings (On the ATV) and make sure (If the Macbook is synced, it will show a chainlink icon.).
    Once you have the ATV synced, your music, movies etc. are saved on its harddrive. Thereafter, the Macbook only needs to be on when you want to add new material.

  • My MBP keeps launching iTunes

    I've seen several other threads in this discussion over the past several years without any comments or resolution.
    All software is updated (Mountain Lion), latest version of iTunes.
    iTunes recently started launching itself, and playing random songs.
    The only change I have made recently is my apple TV was changed to the same iTunes account that is associated with my iTunes on my MBP.  Previously I used a different iTunes account on my apple TV.

    Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference. Similarly, look for any third-party apps that may be related to iTunes, such as apps that copy "now playing" information to a web site.
    Another possibility is external speakers, if you have them. Another user here found that a loose speaker connection may cause random launching and playing on iTunes. Try wiggling the speaker plug and see if that causes iTunes to launch.  If so, unplugging and reconnecting the speakers may cure the problem. If not, you may have a defective speaker jack or an off-size plug on the speakers.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1296 Having difficulty getting music from my old 4S to transfer to my new 5S.  I go through a Sync process and when it gets to the last step of Sync, the blue Audio bar shrinks back to show the few albums that are already on the phone.

    I've been trying to get songs from my old 4S to my new 5S.  I am using a computer to accomplish this.  My 5s has a few albums I purchased from iTUnes.  I see all the music I want to transfer to my new phone.  I go through a Sync process and it cycles through the steps but the music will not get to my new phone. I used the Manage my music configuration.

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • New Mac - ITunes keeps launching

    I have just taken delivery of a new MacPro and for some reason some something is launching iTunes.
    I am not launching it manually and it is not happening at start-up but after a short session of browsing with Safari (no multi-media involved) I am being asked to agree to the iTunes agreement. Of course I do not want to. iTunes is not much use to myself. I click on Decline only for the box to return! The only way to break the cycle is to force quit iTunes.
    1. Is there something in OS X that is dependent on iTunes?
    2. Is there a way to stop this iTunes agreement window, especially if I decline to agree.
    Thanks.
    Latets Information.
    System Preferences seems to have locked itself open. I was examining the keyboard setup. Could this launch iTunes? The current situation is that even Force Quit does not work! The list of running apps does not appear! I do not want to agree to iTunes. I cannot Decline. I cannot Force Quit!
    Suggestions appreciated!

    Replying my own Question ... .it is the f8 key. The b*y thing keeps launching iTunes and I cannot seem to stop it!
    this seems like a bug to me. If there is no media app loaded then why would I want that key to load one? Where is the Spaces key ... that is what is useful not more media frippery.
    How can I disable the MM functions of these keys?
    System Preferences does not seem to be working correctly. It is still talking about other keyboards where the dashboard is on F12 etc. This bears no relationship to my hardware. neither, as far as I can see is there any mention of iTunes, nor mention of shortcuts in the iTunes preferences.
    Suggestions welcome!

  • Itunes does not sync after upgrade to iPhone 5s from 4s, same user id

    I have upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s, but my Windows 8 laptop itunes keeps trying to sync with old iphone 4s (which I do not use anymore) and my new iphone 5s does not sync at all with itunes in Windows 8 laptop. I am using same apple id for iPhone 5s that I used for iPhone 4s. Please help me so that I can sync my iPhone 5s with the existing itunes in Windows 8 laptop.

    Apparently something is not being saved somewhere and this technique forces the save.  Below is a C&P from another poster describing the technique on a different thread.  It's been working for him for some fifteen hours.  I tried it and it's been working but it's been only ten minutes.  My gut feel is that quitting and relaunching iTunes are critical steps.
    With the device connected via cable, click on its icon
    Uncheck WiFi syncing
    Click Apply
    Quit iTunes
    Launch iTunes
    Check WiFi syncing
    Click Apply

  • Itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established to the Iphone

    I have been trying to sync my 4s and I keep getting "Itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established to the Iphone"

    I am also getting this error with two iPad 2s and an iPhone 5. All are on iOS 6.0.1 and this is with iTunes 11 on a Windows 7 PC. I also have an iPhone 4 that does not seem to have an issue that I can tell. When I plug in the iPhone 5 and one of the iPads, it will start to to sync and right at the end I get that message. It will, however, still continue to sync the device after the error message pops up. With the one iPad, which is rarely connected to computer, it will find the iPad via wifi when iTunes is opened, but I will get that message when it is performing its initial sync.
    While I kept having sync issues when using iTunes 10.7, this is a new issue for me. I was also getting a lot of warnings that the iPhone or iPad could not be synced because the connection was lost even though the iPad and iPhone were connected via USB cable. In those cases, the sync would just abort. I have not gotten that error though in two days. At the time to resolve that issue, I needed to disconnect the USB cable, reset the iPhone/iPad, and then reconnect the USB cable.
    I really wish Apple would figure out these sync issues.

  • Does remote sync work on a P990i with a .Mac account?

    As there is a sad lack of iSync for the above phone does anyone know if remote sync works on a P990i with a .Mac account?
    And if so, what are the settings?
    TIA
    Alix

    The version from Microsoft is very buggy and crashes a lot for me. I've had better luck with CoRD (which crashes on rare occasions) and have compiled the Linux rdesktop, which runs like lightning but doesn't have the nice features of CoRD.

  • I have 2 iPhone 4S's, one is personal, one purchased by work for me. Can I use the same iTunes account to sync both phones while keeping the contacts that are synced as separate lists for personal phone and work phone, but also allow same apps for both?

    I'm hoping someone out there knows if I can use 1 apple ID and 1 iTunes account to sync 2 different iPhone 4S's  - one for personal use, and one for work use. I would like to be able to sync with the same music and app's on both, but need to keep the contacts and calendars completely separate between the 2 phones since I don't want personal data on the work phone or work data on the personal phone. Can you help me figure this out?

    Yes!
    Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
    Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
    These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
    Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so.  Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book.  iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
    The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars.  Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.
