Sync Mana

I have just upgarded to version 5 of Mediasource. Unfortunately the sync manager appears to crash with a message from microsoft that the program has called a problem and please report to microsoft. I am running windows xp2 and have a zen touch player. Any ideas why this is happening as the synce manage is? a fairly important tool ?Thanks?Paul

When I installed the updates I did it manually which possibly caused the problem by being installed in the wrong order. I?removed all the software, reinstalled from the original discs and then used the autoupdate to get the latest versions. It all now works. I am still getting an warning about old drivers when going into WMP but I ignore it and it still works?Paul

Creative Zen Vision W Sync Mana

Yes & no It uses a library database from (by default) the My Music folder of your documents to build a music library. You add the files to the sycn list in the program or playlist & click sync. Has an options menu for you to set up. My advice is to use Manual for syncing not auto-sync.

Zen V PLUS, Vista and Sync Mana

Dear staff,i performed a search but i didn't found any answer to my question. I got a Zen V Plus yesterday, and i installed all creative software on my pc. I use Windows Vista. I got a problem.When i connect my ZEN to my pc by USB cable, zen starts to charge, and on display there is "Docked", so it seems to be everything ok.BUT the sync manager system does not find it! And so i can't organize my music using the Zen Media Center! I downloaded all creative software by the site, but Sync Manager doesn't work.Using my brother's pc (with WINDOWS XP) there isn't any problem. I think it's a bit strange that Creative makes software not compatible with Windows Vista!?PS: sorry if i made mistakes writing, i also tried to perform a search in forums, but i didn't find any answer. Thanks, Mat.

The Creative Zen V plus is awesome I have a 2gb because i was short on cash but it still serves its purpose. I only wish that creative had an internet store like itunes where i can buy movies and music but i use windows Media Player and buy my music from itunes. If you know of any good online stores let me know

Zen Micro playlist synching rarely works with Sync Mana

I'm not using MTP/Play for Sure apps or firmware (I like the old directory style view in ZMME). I rarely get a clean sync of a playlist onto my Micro. I import the external playlist (usually a .m3u list made on Winamp) to Creative MediaSource, then I (try to) sync it to the Micro. MediaSource always imports the correct number of files, but during the sync process, Sync Manager never detects the full amount of files. Then, when it tries to sync, it rarely even gets the ones it did manage to detect onto the player. I often get the message that "0 files/playlists were transferred" due to some unknown error.
I've tried connecting the Micro directly to my USB card port (instead of my usual method of using the more convenient front access port or the hub ports on my monitor). That didn't help a bit.
Does it matter whether I initiate the sync from ZMME or MediaSource? I assume not since they both just kick over to Sync Mangager anyway.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
F/W: ..0
ZMME: 4.00.27
MediaSource: 3.30.2

Try transferring the playlist from MediaSource's PC Music Library to your Zen Micro manually. Do not use sync. See whether it works.
By the way, have you:<FONT face=Helv size=2>
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- (Depending on your firmware)
Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.

Having a Problem Backing Up Paid For Apps on iPhone to iTunes

Hi, I am having a problem finding out how to back up/sync the Apps I have purchased on my iPhone and have on my iPhone BUT did not purchase in iTunes nor do I have them in iTunes.
Basically, I did not purchase these apps on/in/through iTunes. I got them all while I was on my iPhone. Therefore they are not in iTunes or backed up anywhere else for that matter. And now I want to back them up somehow or "sync" them in iTunes if that is what your suppose to do.
BUT.......
Every time I try to "sync apps" or any other choice in iTunes while my iPhone is synced up it gives me the message that it will be deleting all the paid for apps on my iPhone and replacing them with the apps currently in iTunes (which is zero !) I am smart enough to know NOT to do that and learned my lesson several times with photos, and music how completely stupid and irrational the "syncing" process is with iTunes and the iPhone and how it makes no sense. (as in, why is it not just like a hard drive ? Drag and drop files to and fro your computer and iPhone that you want backed up or on or off your iPhone, etc..) ? What is with this LAME, stupid, completely convoluted "Sync" idea ? I know several people that constantly lose their contacts, photos, music, calendars, etc.. ALL because the iPhone and COmputer does not act like a normal Hard Drive.... I mean, what is Apple thinking ? Get rid of "Sync" man, its unneeded.
ANYWAY, enough of the rant - So I ask --- HOW do you back up your paid for apps if they are currently on your iPhone, but not in iTunes ? I have searched and searched and nothing is available to do so in iTunes.. what gives ? Surely there has to be a way, but of course is worded wrong with a horrible "action name" maybe ? Restore ? IDK, please help.
On a 16GB iPhone 4 (not the new ones), and running iOS 4.3.5. Latest version of iTunes.
Thanks in advance for all help !

LOL, thanks so much roaminggnome ! The one place/thing I did not see/understand I guess.
Done deal ! It worked fine. I am now all 100% backed up.
Thanks again.
modular747, thanks for chiming in and helping. I will keep what you said in mind. Although, this particular time all I was trying to do was back up/sync/transfer the Apps I did purchase on my account. I was not intending on doing that for the Apps that came with the iPhone. I figure those will always be there after every update anyway right ? So no need to back them up.
Anyway, thanks again guys, you both were very helpful..

HT201229 I get my texts on my iPhone5. I was getting the same texts on my iPad2. Now I am not. In detail for an old man, how do I get them synced up again?

I receive my texts on my iPhone5. I was getting the same texts, at the same time, on my iPad2; but now I am not. In detail, for an old man please, how can I get them synced up again?

The iPad is not a cellular telephone. So "texts" that are sent using the cellular network's SMS text message system cannot go to or from your iPad.
The only text-like messages your iPad can handle are iMessages. iMessages can only be sent to or from Apple devices and only while both are either on WiFi or a cellular network that supports iMessaging (not all do).

MS PAC MAN WON'T SYNC TO MY IPOD 80 CLASSIC

I SENT AND EMAIL TO APPLE ITUNES SUPPORT BUT THEY WEREN'T VERY HELPFUL THEY JUST INSTRUCTED ME TO UPDATE ALL MY SOFTWARE. MY SOFTWARE WAS ALREADY UPDATED
APPLES RESPONSE
Dear XXXX,
I'm sorry to hear that you have not been able to transfer your iPod game to your iPod Classic.
The most common reason items don't transfer properly is because the iPod hasn't been updated. You can now update your iPod from iTunes, so just make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
If you have never updated your iPod before, this article will help:
Instructions for updating iPod
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n60944
If you have already updated the iPod and you still can't transfer items to the iPod, choose one of these:
Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93867
Can't transfer videos to iPod

Playing from iTunes without downloading is streaming during play. iPod can't stream unless it is a version with wifi. So you need to download files then syn iPod with iTunes.
I do this for my iPod since my wife and I use same iTunes account. If I allow auto syncing it mixes my podcasts with hers, subscriptions, plays, and deletes.

After 30 man hours spent on trying to get everything in sync:

I have learned that:
1/ the data on iCloud has to be considered the data base that is in control.
2/. Shut down other devices that are using iCloud. They will continue to sync while you are trying to clean up your calendar entries and contacts.
3. Most of the calendar duplicates are not duplicates, but are the same appointment in different time zones. If you look at your calendar entries in outlook with the list view, you can see the different times.
4/. The only way to get rid of the duplicates is to login to your iCloud account using Safari. I found the week view the easiest to work in. it is as low and tedious process, but it does work. If you have another windows device, you can open up outlook and watch the duplicates go away.
5/. The best thing to do is the delete all of your contacts and calendar entries in all of your windows devices. Thia can be done by looking at the entries in the outlook list view and doing a control A followed by a delete. This was the most frightening step, because I have always considered my outlook data to be the source data for other devices. I did backup all of my outlook date using the export command. I may never use the backup, but I feel more comfortable knowing that it exists somewhere other than iCloud.
6/. Tasks works for me as is. therefore, I didn't delete the tasks.
7/ I still can't get my me.com email to work in outlook. I will just get that on my iPad and iPhone until Apple fixes that mess.
Good luck and thanks for the lack of help Apple.

1) CDs are apparently a dying physical media. They anticipate that digital downloading will replace buying CDs in the next few years (sounds like a sales tactic to me...)
OK, but that has nothing to do with the music that you have already bought on CD.
2) It's easier to retrieve music that you buy from iTunes than is anything else if something were to happen to my iPhone.
Keep a backup!
3) The music is in AAC which is smaller than MP3 and sounds better (I don't have a home theater system in my room nor do I have a sound system in my car).
That is an old-fashioned belief left over from the days of 128 kb/s encoding. At 256 (which is the rate now used by most online music download stores including iTunes and Amazon) MP3 and AAC are equivalent in audio quality. And at 256, they are all the same size.

Any ideas for how to sync to Exchange 2003 - contacts and calendar

Hi
I am still searching for a mechanism to give me the sync solution I want, which is as follows:
At work I have a PC running Outlook 2003 via an Exchange Server 2003 setup.
At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard
In the middle I have an iPhone 3G
I want to sync Calendar and Contacts across all three machines.
I want to sync work email between the Exchange server and the iphone, but do NOT need this to sync on my iMac at home
That's it.
At the moment I can sync email, calendars and contacts successfully between the Exchange server and iPhone, using the over-the-air Exchange Sync on the iPhone. But sadly my iMac will not sync contacts and calendars to the exchange server 2003 as Snow Leopard only supports exchange 2007.
Ironically (because I don't need this bit to work) I have managed to get my iMac to sync with my Exchange server EMAIL, by selecting the Exchange IMAP option when setting up the mail account on my iMac (as opposed to the Exchange 2007 option). However, I cannot get iCal or Address book to sync with Exchange 2003, regardless of the options I select when setting up the new accounts in Address book or iCal. I guess these just do not work with Exchange 2003
I know that I cannot use mobileme as a solution, as you cannot have two over-the-air syncs going on, and I need to maintain my iphone link to the exchange server via activesync
I also know that using itunes to sync via the cable will not work, as this creates separate contacts and calendar files on the iphone and so does not provide the syncing solution I seek.
I have tried using google to act as the middle man between my iMac and Exchange server data - getting the iMac to sync to Google Calandar and Google Address Book, and then using a third party piece of software called gsyncit to sync from google to the .ost outlook file on my PC workstation. This works some of the time, but keeps crashing and leaving me with multiple duplicates to have to sort out - much too much hard work on a regular basis.
So I still do not have a solution. Unfortunately upgrading to Exchange server 2007 is not a solution.....
Any new ideas out there
Thanks

I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

I am having problems syncing recently recorded songs to my iPod. I am using an ion program to record vinyl records to iTunes. The songs are in the iTune library and will play on the computer. When I try to sync they show up but do not play. help

I am using an ion piece of equipment to record vinyl reccords to my iMac and in turn save them in iTunes. I have recorded many records this way and have never had a problem until yesterday. I recorded three songs from records to iTunes and was successful as they are on the song list and will play on the iMac. When I tried to sync them to my iPod they showed up on the menu but would not play. The iPod just skipped over the new guys. Am I doing something wrong or has my ion program flipped out? Any help would be appreciated by this old man. Thankyou

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

IOS4 update = lost contacts, apps crash and cannot sync my music need help

I like many had no problems with updating in the past. I even enjoyed the days off an update just to get to grips with new features. This experience has been abolished with the IOS4. I’ve had my 3G for just over a year (just). I came to update to the IOS4. The update took a long time but I got there in the end. However when iTunes sync came into play is where Im having problems my apps moved across no problems but then I got iTunes couldn’t back up my iPhone because the computer wouldn’t allow. I googled this and came to apples support guide on the matter. which was just delete the back up file in preferences (before I did this I did get a text from someone I know but his name wasn’t coming up just the number I feared then Id lost my contacts) so I did delete my back up. but then the next problem was iTunes couldn’t backup because of an unknown error (-20) (I’ve researched this unknown error and I can’t find anything on it) so I restored the software on iTunes and still I get this error
so now Im left with a iPhone with no music, no contacts, no saved app data even apps crash on start. I read on softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Apple-Knew-iPhone-3G-Owners-Would-Run-Into-iOS-4- Upgrade-Problems-Customer-Claims-145332.shtml) that an apple employee suggested that apple knew this was going to be a problem and there will be a fix at a later date after the iphone4 and IOS4 rollout and either to wait for this, or buy an iphone 4. To simply buy an iPhone 4 is not an option I bought my phone outright on a payandgo and Im disgusted that an apple employee can even suggest that. now that I know Im not alone on this I want to know just what apple are going to do to fix this asap (for the money I paid I could off got a decent laptop with Skype) I expect and demand a resolution to my problem that isn’t going to cost me more time and money than it already has.

just an update,
after reading that some people who are contacting customer support were having some success in fix/getting the iphone replaced. I decided to do the same after going through some testing with the customer care assistant. he told me that I should uninstall itunes and other apple software and reinstall itunes.
uninstall itunes, quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support in that order
it didnt help me but I have now a referance number and I have to ring back tomorrow. the funny thing was that when the customer support guy was putting me on hold to find this resolution he told me that 'this is strange because we have not had this problem or any problems with our update on this phone'.........
I corrected the man and told him 'well, with respect if you was to go on your support forum you will find page after page of people with similar problems not getting answered'
and now im seeing people are having problems with the iphone4 lmfao

HT1391 I deleted my ringtone from iTunes because I couldn't sync it to my iphone or play it in itunes through the iphone, and now I can't get it back. I have the purchase receipt...but how do I get it back????? If I can't, can I get refund?

This is ONE of the MANY reasons, I have held off on getting and iPhone. Because the ONLY option in getting the music onto it, is by using itunes, instead of just being able to drag and drop. This is annoying as F***.
I paid for and downloaded a ringtone from the iTunes store. It was working fine. Then I hoooked up my iphone to my bf's laptop, competely forgetting that it had already been synced to MINE, which is broken and toasted. For some reason, it deleted everything off my phone, I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how the **** to get music back onto my iphone using itunes. It's NOT a user friendly program, and being a computer savvy as I am.....I HATE USING IT. But unfortunately, I don't have a choice. So, I was able to get the two ringtones that I created with my free ringtone maker app BACK into my phone. But go figure, the one that I actually paid for, I can't get back on. It was in my itunes, and on my iphone...but had the exclmation mark beside it. I have already gone to the support page and followed the instructions for retrieving it. I have manually deleted it from my computer SINCE this discovery, by deleting it from itunes. So....to make sure yall are understanding this...I tried tracking it down by searching my computer....and I couldn't find it, although it was still listened on BOTH my itunes on my laptop AND in my iphone. I trued to manually delete it from the iphone....wouldn't work. So i manually deleted it from itunes.
My question is this....
HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH DO I GET IT BACK!!!!????
It's only $1.29 canadian, but man, this program is ******* me off to no end.
It's stupid that Apple has completely restricted us. -sighs gritting her teeth- I just want my ring tone back. That's it. I can't even figure out how to redownload it....or if I can even do that.
Please someone help me. I'm soooo frustrated.
Thanks
CER

Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.

I have tried suggestions found on this website from other Ipod Classic users without success. I cannot get my Ipod Classic to sync any more - have tried on 3 computers with different OS's. Apple have tested Ipod and its lead and pronounced it OK.

This is the third time of writing this on your Apple Support Communities! My Ipod Classic will not sync. I have had it checked over at an Apple Genius Bar and also its lead - they say it is OK. I have had my computer checked at the place that built it for me (Windows 7 desktop when I found Windows 8 childish and irritating). After collecting it, I again had the Ipod symbol back on my library page, which was a step forward. However, the Ipod still won't sync.
I have tried other USB ports. I have tried removing Itunes from computer and downloading it again - with the latest version of course. I have tried authorising my computer. I have tried resetting the Ipod. I have tried ringing the Apple helpline at vast expense - the first assistant was helpful and went through a number of procedures before suggesting I removed and replaced Itunes and then rang back after doing this. I was given a reference number to quote so that I wouldn't need to go through the whole rigmarole again with another assistant. But, unfortunately, I got an extremely offensive young man who more or less called me a liar when I quoted the job number I had been given. He flatly refused to accept that I had already spent ages on the phone that afternoon and said that my last call to Apple, to which the reference number referred, had been in November 2011. When I asked to speak to a manager, he put the phone down for ages and left me paying for minutes, just waiting. I put the phone down eventually and rang back, got this person again, and again asked to speak to a manager, whereupon the phone was put down on me. Needless to say, I am not keen to try this phone service again in a hurry. But I do desperately want to be able to download my Economist in audio podcasts, which I have been without for a whole month now. Please can someone knowledgeable take pity and help me? By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end. I have a newly built computer using Windows 7, the latest updated version.

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.
