Podcasts and syncing with iTunes 6.0

So I just hooked up my iPod with iTunes 6.0 for the first time. After changing the drive letter (don't know why I needed to do that), it seemed to sync fine. Except that it started uploading 188 old podcasts that I've played (Parts of audiobooks). That struck me as odd, so I verified that I'm set to sync "Only unplayed episodes". So I looked under the Podcasts part of the iPod in iTunes, and it looked fine (only the unplayed ones appeared there). I was all set to just write it off as a random oddity, when I noticed that all the podcasts, played and unplayed, appear in the library part of the iPod information (still in iTunes).
It appears that iTunes 6.0 sees podcasts in the library (which they are, of course), notices that they're not in the library on the iPod (since they're somewhere else, presumably), and sent them over. Anyone know a way to deal with this short of unchecking all the played episodes, which isn't high on my list of things to do (i.e., is there some preference I'm missing)? Or should I be reporting this as a bug to Apple?

See this thread:

Basically, iTunes started syncing any podcasts that appear in smart playlists if they're checked, even if they've been played. Workaround is to set all smart playlists to include "podcast is false". You can also right-click on any podcast and go to the "Playlists" entry, which will tell you which playlists its in.
Hope this helps!

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

You will need a SIM to activate it. There is no way around that. The SIM does not have to be active, but it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked. Once activated, it can be removed and used like an iPod touch, but if you ever have to restore or update iOS, you will need the SIM to re-activate it.

Iphone 5 backup and sync with iTunes ..says i need more memory

I just bought more icloud memory for my iphone 5...because it said i needed 1.4 gb of space to backup... It would not let me sync my iphone on itunes. I still can not back up..What should I do? I guess no reason to buy that 10 GB from itunes.

You probably need more free space on your phone, not in your iCloud account. (Additional iCloud storage doesn't increase the space on your phone.)
Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much available space you have. If you need more and your music is in your iTunes library, delete your music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music, tap Delete. Then back up and sync with iTunes, and sync back the music you still want on your phone.

I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks

P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.

If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

Since I upgraded to os 7 my voice memos are not recording and syncing with Itunes.

In the app the recordings show 0 time and when I sync with Itunes there is no recording listed at all. Any thoughts?

I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
Here ya go:
1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
7) Sync your iPhone and you are good to go.
NOTE: If for some reason this doesn't work, go back into the same "naming" list on your Iphone voice memos app, and try one of the standard labels instead of a custom one. With one that wouldn't sync, I changed it to "Memo" and then synced it again, and then it worked.

All of you who use the 80gb ipod classic and have problems with it freezing and syncing with itunes...well I have joined the club. This is a serious issue with apple and they need to correct it. I have tried everything to no avial.

This is beyond frustrating. I just wasted 70 dollars between a new battery and gas for my ipod 80gb classic. It was having major issues syncing and freezing with itunes. I tried everything possible and noticed that a lot of people have been having the same issues with their ipod classics as well. I must have restored it several times and now it just totally bit the dust. Now I have to shell out 130 dollars to send it in to apple to be rebuilt/fixed. This is nonsense and I just cant believe apple isn't doing anything to address this issue. My ipod was doing great for about nearly 5 years and now this. I even down-graded to itunes 10.7, but by the time I had it set up to try, that's when my ipod totally failed and will not even come on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

How can I get my Mac to read my Sansa Fuse mp3 music files and sync with iTunes?

I have a SanDisk Sansa Fuse and my computer recognizes that it's pluged in but my music files are shown as empty on the computer. My Mac is not reading my music files. My goal is to transfer the music I currently have on my Sansa Fuse to my iTunes library. Help!

.exe files are Windows Applications and therefore they will not run under Mac OS X.
You will need to either :-
1. Install BootCamp (Apple), then purchase and install a copy of Windows.
2. Purchase a copy of Parallels and a copy of Windows, install both.
Both of these solutions will allow you to run Windows apps on your Mac.
Remember though that when you are running Windows in BootCamp you will not be able to use iMovie. It may also not be very easy to move content from the Windows applications into iMovie.

HT1386 When an iPhone is plugged into the wall outlet and is synced with iTunes, does the phone need to be ejected on iTunes like it would be if connected to the computer, or is it just fine to disconnect from the wall?

I am wondering if I need to eject my iPhone from iTunes or if it is fine to unplug the phone without ejecting.

If it's connected to your computer and synced with iTunes you should eject it. If it's only plugged into a wall outlet and not your computer, just unplug it (since there's nothing to eject it from).

IPod touch won't mount or sync with iTunes?

ok here's my problem, 2 days ago i bought an 8gb iPod touch.
The first time i plugged it into my computer it mounted to iTunes and synced with iTunes seamlessly and quick.
Now when i plug it in, it will not even show up in iTunes.
So far i've tried
-restarting my iPod Touch
-deleting itunes then re-installing iTunes
-restoring factory setting on iPod touch
-turning the ipod off, then once i open itunes, turning it on
nothing happens, itunes works fine, but my iPod just will not sync or mount to iTunes 8
please! someone help me!

ok i figured it out.. not what was wrong but what to do.. you have to restore your system without having the iPod connect of course.. then uninstall itunes and quicktime then delete every trace of them from your computer. (once you reinstall iTunes you will get back everything you had) then once you restart your computer reinstall itunes and restart your computer again. now plug ur iPod Touch in the computer and it will work then.
same thing happened to mine.. it took a while to figure it out but i got it...
you have to uninstall them then delete it from program files... now it works perfectly

5 beeps continually when I try to sync with iTunes...?

My iPhone 5 synced normally at first. Now when I try to backup and sync with iTunes, it beeps continually (like trying to charge) and will not sync. Lighning/USB cord is Apple.

I'd start with the following document with that one:

It IS a camera.
Have you tried opening iTunes? Does iTunes detect that the iPhone is connected?

*Expected result:* app should be installed on iphone
Do you have any ideas how I can fix it?
Thanks.

Did it many times. Was helpless for me. Tried to backed up software/firmware to default and got another error message about that itunes can't finish installation Unplugged my web camera (don't think that it can help me) and shut down zone alarm pro (brandmauer). Default OS was installed as well and syncing with itunes works as well too. But guys I can found zone alarm in software compatibility list and yes I have up to date version of zone alarm and yes I configured it with itunes. So what happens with compatibility?

New iMac 27, my iPhone WILL sync with iTunes, but does not backup......

I have synced 4 times now, and my phone has not backed up yet in iTunes. I have a new iMac 27", and I use a 3Gs phone. On my windows computer, iTunes performs a backup almost every time I sync it. I have authorized my new iMac. It just wont backup....

Possibly because you have automatic syncing turned on for the Windows computer?
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
*Creating a Backup*
+If you have configured your iPhone or iPod touch to automatically sync with iTunes on a specific computer, iTunes will back up the iPhone or iPod touch after you connect it to that computer and sync with iTunes. iTunes will not automatically back up an iPhone or iPod touch that is not configured to sync with that computer. iTunes only makes one backup each time you connect, even if you sync multiple times before disconnecting.+
