Photo events being duplicated using itunes to sync

Hi Everyone,
does anyone else have this issue,
when i goto sync my ipad2 using iTunes, Under the Photos tab where events are listed
i have duplicates, triplicates etc etc of my events.
Does not affect my Albums, just the events...
Strangely enough in iphoto everything is okay
Any help would be appreciated....

I have copied the photos under MyPictures on my PC.
Basically it is the same, only that the limit above which iTunes is making nonsense is higher:
- using the MyPictures folder on the PC, I can sync 500 photos from 12 folders in one block and eveything is fine.
- using the external drive, I can sync only about 100 photos from 2 to 3 folders in one block or shot as you prefer
BUT, and that is the problem, BUT in both cases, going above (in terms of # of photos and folders) leads to random outputs:
- either I get a list of empty folders on the iPad with the message it failed to finish the sync
- or all photos are copied but then are mixed up within different folders in which case (I do not even get an error message). With mixed up I mean the following: a portion of the photos from PC:folder1 let's say 10) are copied to iPad:Folder8 that already contains the photos of PC:folder8 and iPad:folder1 does not contain these 10 photos, so iPad:folder1 is smaller as the original PC:folder1 and iPad:folder8 is bigger as PC:folder8
- or I get an error message within the copying process (-1401,-50, -1303)
The difference in behaviour is the size that can be copied in one shot to the iPad: bigger from the PC as from the hard disk drive attached to the PC.
Does this means that the speed at which it can copy makes the difference? This would be poor especially while thinking of iCloud Sync where the connection speed can be rather slow (for thousands of reasons).

Using iTunes to sync photos, ipad gets the frames but no image in them.

When I use iTunes to sync photos or faces, the iPad shows the frames only, but no images.

How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

Is there any way to use iTunes to sync a Zen NX

As the subject says, is there any way to use iTunes to sync or transfer tracks to a Jukebox Zen NX?
Thanks,

iTunes will only work with Apple players.

HT201250 Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet?

Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet? i want to buy an iPad Air and to forget my laptop and i think that even the 128 gb wont be enough some times. I am wandering if time capsule can be used as external hdd and to connect on it via wifi ...

No. You cannot access your Time Capsule directly from an iOS device. The only way to back up an iOS device is to a computer through iTunes or to iCloud, though in some cases you can open and save files via another cloud-based service such as Dropbox.

I bought an ipd shuffle for my daughter. I have old songs from frostwire that I downloaded on the shuffle. When I try to play the songs, I get "Please use Itunes to sync music". What does that mean?

I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music". What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only? thanks, Jester

Dear jester,
Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
I hope this help you.

This possible? == use iTunes to sync your contacts to Macbook contacts?

Hi guys,
As I am unable to sync my contacts from Mobileme to my contacts in my macbook (my earlier post), a possible solution I was thinking of is if I am able to use iTunes and sync the contacts from my iphone into my contacts on my Macbook.
Is this possible and if so, can you tell me the steps please.... a million thanks

No. The iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to do what you want using iTunes.

I used itunes to sync new ipad, not everything came over

I used itunes to sync between my mac and a new ipad. My old ipad had a few playlists with the media to play them. I also had been using itunes with this older ipad so I thought that these playlists and media would come over the new ipad after syncing it. They didn't, nor did the media to play them. How can I bring these playlists and media into the new ipad?

Did you select the playlists to sync in the music pane of iTunes? They must be selected to sync to the device. I'm not sure that I know what you mean when are talking about the media to play the songs. You have to sync the songs to the iPad as well and then you play the songs in the music app on the iPad.

It says please use itunes to sync music..

Just bought a new ipod shuffle. I can listen to the songs from my mac, but when I eject, it says please use itunes to sync music. I placed the button in the middle that didn't solve the issue.

In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of the window) visible? If not, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, under DEVICES, when you connect both shuffles at the same time, both should be listed there, but only one of them appears, correct?
The blinking orange light means the shuffle's disk is mounted, so it is definitely connecting. And you said earlier that it appears in My Computer. What you should try is a Restore. However, you cannot do a Restore, unless it appears in iTunes. So, you may want to try erasing (reformatting) the shuffle using Windows, like it was a USB flash drive. When you do this, iTunes should not be running. Select FAT (or FAT32) as the disk format. If there is a choice to do a quick format, select to do a full format.
Then, run iTunes with only this one shuffle connected. iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore. If that happens, do the Restore, which re-erases the shuffle, put its software back on, and sets it to default settings. If you are not prompted, but the shuffle now appears in iTunes, select it and do a Restore from the shuffle's Summary screen.
If that does not help either, you should contact Apple to get it replaced. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genuis Bar and take it there. Depending on where you purchased it (and how long ago it was), you may also be able to just return it for refund, and buy another one.

"Please use iTunes to sync music"... uh, I have music

Never had this issue before. I have a shuffle from 09' and today I decided to add a few songs... when plugged in iTunes recognizes the shuffle and shows my music on the device.
When I eject it and attempt to listen to music, the only thing I hear is "Please use iTunes to sync music"
Any one have any ideas?
FYI, I just upgraded to the newest version of iTunes.
Based off of my experience, I'd say iTunes is the issue

Photo folders being duplicated when I sync from iphoto using iTunes

I have lots of photos in albums and have only a few selected to sync with my iphone5 in itunes. The sync works ok, but I think I'm getting duplicates of the photos. Each folder I have selected shows up in the iphone PHOTOS app seprately, plus each photo shows up in the default PHOTO LIBRARY folder on the phone. I'm not sure if the photos are actually duplicated, but I thought the iphoto folders would be created as-is in the PHOTO LIBRARY folder? Am I reading the documentation wrong or am I doing something wrong? Are these photos on my phone twice, taking up extra storage?

That's the way it works, & there is nothing wrong. iPhone organizes photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos synced to your phone appear in your "Photo Library". The photos in the various albums/folders are not duplicates, rather they are pointers to the actual photos, which, again, are in your Photo Library.

TS1211 Events being duplicated???

Most of my ical events are being duplicated once iCloud syncs it between my iPhone, iPad and macbook. Help please...thanks.

1) Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum
2) Use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags when posting code.
Any ideas/help on what I may be missing here ?The obvious would be that you are adding the ActionListener twice to the button.

Iphone is not being recognised on itunes to sync?

Hi, I have connected my iphone to my computer but it is not being recognised on itunes?can u help?

I just replaced my 3GS with an iPhone 4 yesterday, and the new phone will not sync with iTunes. It pops up with the following error message whenever I hook it up:
"The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
I just got this phone from AT&T, and there are no updates available for either my computer or my phone, so they have to have the newest iTunes.
Also, whenever I plug it in, the new phone does not appear under the "devices" tab on the left like my old one does.
Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give me.

I can't seem to upload more then 1600 photos to my iPad using iTunes.

I'm using iTunes to upload a rather large number of photos to my iPad. The folder in question has several subfolders to keep things originized. After about 1600 photos it won't upload any more, but the folders do transfer.

have you run out of room? folders take up byts of space, but photos obviously take up much more
how big is the whole folder you're trying to sync?

I need to get photos off my iphone using itunes, PLEASE READ AND HELP

okay, I have pics on my iphone that need off and i can't use my phone, i need to use itunes. how do i do it, ive tried and can't see a remove photos button. it says to deselect a box and hit remove photos, where is that?

If these photos were synced then you need to connect your phone to iTunes, select the phone under devices and then the photos tab. Deselect photos or albums you want to remove.
If these photos were taken on the phone then you need to delete on your phone. Go to your camera roll and you will see an icon in the top right (a square with an arrow), select and then choose the photos and hit delete
