Sync multiple lobraries with iPod color 60GB

I posted this issue in the iPod forum, but received no advice. Hopefully someone here can help:
I have over 25,000 photos and use several iPhoto libraries to manage and organize them. One library lives on my Powerbook 17" hard drive and the others are on external FW800 drives.
Because I take so many photos away from home, I usually import photos to my Powerbook library temporarily, then transfer them to one of the other libraries I have on the external HDs in my studio and delete them from the PB.
One library consists only of photos I have taken for a client, another contains family photos, a third one is abstract and artistic photos, a fourth is all antique cars, a fifth all nudes, etc...
I would like to be able to include some photo albums from each library on my 60G iPod Color. Is there a way to do this without combining all of my photos into the same library?
I guess what I am asking is: is it possible to get photos from multiple libraries on the same iPod at the same time? if so, how?
If not, is there a way for me to create an iPhoto library that consists of photo aliases (I don't want to import duplicates of the photos to include on the iPod) and then use that library to sync with the iPod?

HI Rich, an ipod can only be associated with one iPhoto Library. You can however have it sync photos from a folder on your hard drive. this would entail sharing 'exporting images from each of your libraries and putting them all in a folder on one computer. Then set up the iPod preferences in iTunes to use this folder for the photos.

Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac.
How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing).
I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal. iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
Any advice on how to make this super simple?
Thanks in advance.

My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader. You can use the
Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open. If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A. If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG. Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
Landscape lock. OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button. This will bring up a list of your running apps. Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button. Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation. Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
NOTE: Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock. Another reason I like Stanza.
Wallpaper. I think you can only change it to something else. Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change. Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

Sync multiple clips with master clip

I have a multicam shoot with two stationery cameras continually recording for the entire event and a third camera roaming around, getting dozens of individual clips from different locations/angles. ALL THREE CAMERA HAVE SYNCED TIME CODE.
I don't want to treat this as a normal multicam project, since the third camera has dozens of clips (this means dozens of "camera angles" in a multicam timeline). The best way for me to edit these cameras together in post, in my view, is to sync everything up in a timeline, and do the cutting myself.
In Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33), I can sync the continual recordings no problem, because they overlap. But the dozens of clips created from the third camera have to be placed manually or timecode synced one by one.
I have found a kind of a cheat. I create a multicam sequence using all 90 of my clips (synced by timecode) then open the multicam sequence in the timeline. I then manually drag all 88 clips from the third camera down into one layer.
From here, I have two options: 1, edit as a multicam shoot with only three cameras instead of 90, or 2, Create a new, empty sequence, then copy/paste from the multicam sequence to the empty one and edit manually.
Here's my question, now that I've found a cheat: how can I better sync multiple clips with no overlapping timecode to a master clip with master timecode?

I have identical real time TC for all 3 cameras, and two cams are continually recording. the third is roaming.
Here's a link to a past project: News & Events :: PCC's Christmas Lights Spectacular :: Pensacola Christian College
As you can see, one is locked, one is on a tripod getting closeups, zooms, and pans, and the third is moving around getting various angles. The two on a tripos are left continually recording, but the roamer starts and stops (it's handheld, so it's easier to just start/stop).
@shooternz, could you elaborate on your method a bit? You seem to indicate that you can just drop the third camera's clips in the sequence based on Time Code. I'm not familiar with TC Panels or TC Markers.
As for not all of them being used... I do have several dozen clips left over the course of a half-hour concert... :/

HT1296 how do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

How do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

Connect the iPod and sync with iTunes the same way that you sync any iDevice with iTunes. If you are trying to transfer the music on the iPod into iTunes on the computer - connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name under the devices headings and select transfer purchases. That will transfer the purchase songs on your iPod into your iTunes library.
If you provide a few more details of what you actually are trying to do, it would be a little easier to provide you with the help that you seek.

Syncing multiple iPhones/iPads/iPods for different users via WiFi on a single computer?

So my wife and I each have an iPhone running iOS 7.0.3 (11B511), she has an iPad (iOS 7, but unsure of the exact release), and my son has an iPod (also iOS 7, but unsure of the exact release). I've also have a Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.9 (13A603) with Server 3.0 (13S440) and iTunes 11.1.3 (8) 64-bit. I'd like us each to be able to sync any of our devices via WiFi when we're at home. We each have accounts on the server with thier own iTunes Libraries and associated with thier own iTunes Store accounts.
I've seen posts that explain how to sync multiple devices to a single account with a single library, and I've seen posts that explain how to sync different devices to different libraries under different users when each is the only user running iTunes at the time. Is there a way to allow each user to sync whenever they please without having to have the other users log out of iTunes, log themselves in, and then sync?
It sounds like, from what I've learned so far, that multiple users running iTues is not (or at least used to not) be enough to make this work. I'm looking for a definitive answer here though, not a guess that it can't be done based on previous versions or speculation. If you're not sure but want to share your thoughts and theories only, please indicate as much in your response. Thanks.

Welcome to AD!
Here is an article on using multiple ipods. I suggest method 1 and steer clear of method 3.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
For your point #1, sharing music on same PC between users, put it in a shared library & set permissions as directed here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
For #2, itunes doesn't have the capability to monitor folders for new content. You'll need to get something like the free program 'itunes folder watch'.

Doesn't sync my library with iPod... Help me please or I'll dye...

Hi, please please help me if you can. I was working all the summer and I've bought iPod nano for my money and... Firt it worked well and everything was going well but.. From Friday I cannot sync my iPod with library. I tried restore it, but it didn't help at all. Actually, the problem is, that if I download some file from internet and then I want to put it into my iPod, I can't. It doesn't sync it, without any error messege (it doesn't show any error messege). It syncs unly "official" CD's. For example, my boyfriend has sent me a song he sang for me, but I can't have it on my iPod. You can see my English is horrible, I've got the iPod in UK so I don't know how I will resolve this. I am just a woman, and this is complicated technical problem, so it's extremelly stressfull situation for me. Heeelp please!!!

Ok, so, basically... You have to have songs in your PC when you are syncing. Never ever upload the song to iTunes and then delete it because f*ing iTunes will not sync it to your iPod. That's it.

Multiple Issues with iPod Classic 160GB

In mid-November 2009 I bought a new 160GB classic. I connected it to my Windows Vista PC and immediately got an error saying that the computer was not authorized (note that I had been syncing an 80GB Classic and three Nanos fine before this). And despite logging in with my valid iTunes account, it would loop endlessly, telling me the computer was already authorized, then prompting me again.
I posted a forum question on November 18, to which I got three replies, all of them with them same problem (and no solution). I tried all of the things suggested in Apple's support entry: my one workaround is to run iTunes as Administrator every single time I launch it. Still get the annoying authorization message every single time, but it at least syncs.
BTW, I now need to go through the same ludicrous procedure every time I want to sync one of my other iPods.
But wait! There's more!
There is a firmware update for the 160GB Classic (2.0.4), as well as for one of the newer Nanos. Each time I try to install, it fails with Error 1436. Apple's suggestion to try restoring the iPods similarly fails, as does every other "fix.".
I have tried everything on Apple's official support site, including reinstalling the Windows USB drivers, Apple Mobile drivers, re-registering DLLs etc. Plus I even uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes.
Considering the $700 or so I have invested in Apple iPods, I am getting mighty irked. Fortunately, I have a smaller investment in iTunes purchases and do not plan any future ones unless I can feel comfortable that these problems are solved.
Is there any solution to these problems?

You cannot copy media from one iPod to another directly. The content on the one iPod must be stored in your iTunes library on a PC or Mac before it can be synced to the new iPod.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Syncing multiple iPhones with iCal and contacts

My roommate just bought an iPhone and synced it for the first time with my iMac, but now he has all of my contacts and calendar appointments and none of his own. Do iCal and Contacts support multiple profiles? Is it possible for him to store his contacts on my iMac with iLife and sync without interfering with my contacts?
Sorry if this is a noobish question or if it's already been answered. I looked and couldn't readily find any topics that matched this question.
Message was edited by: k2tha-izzo

Your roommate will need to have all of his contacts in a specific group, as well as all of his calendar appointments in a specific calendar.
In iTunes, go to the info tab on the iPhone in iTunes and have it only sync that calendar/group.

Can iTunes sync multiple songs with the same name?

My iTunes library has multiple songs with the same name (but they point to different files on the filesystem).
Curiously when iTunes syncs to my iPhone it will only ever sync two of the files, even if more exists. I suspect what is happening is described below, but I have no way of verifying it:
Let's assume I have 5 songs named IdenticalName, on the filesystem these are named IdenticalName.mp3, IdenticalName 1.mp3, IdenticalName 2.mp3, and so on.
I suspect iTunes is syncing the filename without a number postfix, and the file with the "1" postfix and not continuing with the rest of the files.
Has anyone seen similar behaviour? Did you find a workaround (other than renaming your tracks)?

can you manually discover the new instances on the new server?
Then just make sure the name that appears in Grid Control is different.
e.g. prod.world is on server A and B. When you discover in Grid control, you can make it prod_B and you will see the latter without any problem.

Synced Google Calendar with Ipod Calendar, but what about the other way?

Hello everyone,
I have a ton of appointments on my Ipod Touch calendar. I decided to sync them with a brand new empty Google calendar. I followed these steps I found on the web to add the Google calendar to the Ipod Touch:
Open the Settings application on your device's home screen.
Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select Add Account...
Select Other.
Select Add CalDAV Account.
Enter your account information:
In the Server field, enter [ google.com ]
In the Username field, enter your full Google Account or Google Apps email address.
In the Password field, enter your Google Account or Google Apps password.
In the Description field, enter the name you'd like to appear on the account.
Select Next at the top of your screen.
After you've completed setup, open the Calendar app on your device and syncing will automatically begin.
Now since that was done, new entries I add in Google Calendar show up on the Ipod Touch, but not the other way around. Is there a setting option I missed? I need to pre-populate Google from the Ipod first I asume.Thanks.

Unfortunately, the only solutions available require Outlook in order to work... The best, and the one I've decided on using, is SyncMyCal.com. There is a free version available that requires you to sync manually, but once you sync events into Outlook, you can sync them to your iPod touch.
With the 1.1.2 update for the iPod touch, which enables you to directly add events on it... you can set SyncMyCal to also publish events back to your Google Calendar.
I really wish this functionality was built in directly.
iTunes already supports syncing with Yahoo! Address Book... Considering how close Apple has been with Google as of late, it's hard to believe some sort of syncing plugin for gApps hasn't been introduced yet.

I can't sync my playlists with ipod classic or a new ipod touch.

I have been having problems with my iPod Classic in my car. Colleague used his iphone with no issues. I reset my iPod classic to original factory settings but now when I sync my playlists with iTunes are not included. Very strange.

I'm having the same problem with my 30GB U2 iPod. I used iSquint to convert my video, and it plays perfectly fine on my iTunes, but it just goes to a black screen when I try to play it on my iPod. The movie is in Mpeg-4 format, which is supposed to work on the iPod-- right?

Syncing multiple iPones with one computer

What is the easiest way to sync 11 iphones with one computer? At work im in charge of 11 iPhones and need to manage them from one computer. Each user has there own apple ID and different apps so on and so forth. I would like to be able to update all the phones without getting all there stuff mixed up or losing there data.

Well, you're gonna have to log into each user's account in itunes, then sync their phone, log out, log the next user in, sync, etc.
Make sure you DO NOT SYNC CONTACTS, CALENDARS or stuff like that or you will screw things up!

Sync TomTom 910 with iPod playlist

Hi there, I posted this message before, but some thing went wrong I guess...
I recently purchased a TomTom 910 GPS car navigation system with a 20GB harddisk (about 10GB available). The TomTom manual says the TT can import iTunes playlists, but without any further info... Can anyone tell me how to do this? I have a playlist in iTunes which I use to sync my pod and I want to sync my TomTom with the same playlist. I have already installed TomTomHome etc. And will the TT accept mp4 files? The manual only mentions mp3.
Thanks,
Nick.
