Sync music, manually upload videos

Is it possible to automatically sync just my music, and still be able to add videos manually? I'd like to leave videos on my iPod but delete them from my computer to save space, without having to deal with the hassle of manually updating music.

i'm no great expert on the topic. but the following document suggests that you can manually sync both or neither, but not one and not the other:

HT1202 Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1?

Can I still sync music manually using itunes 11.0.1? The copy and paste AND drag and drop methods don't seem to work any more. Why does Apple make itunes so hard to use?

Thanks, but no dice. When I check Maunal manage, I get the dialog about erasing the phone and syncing to this computer. The only thing I can think of is to make sure my home machine is also set to manual sync. Although, I was able to manual sync just fine until I upgraded itunes to 11.0.1

Auto-Sync Music, Manual-Sync Videos?

Is there any way to put Music playlists on auto-sync, but still have Videos on manual?
I really would like to be able to copy movies and TV shows to the iPod, and then back them up onto DVDs, so they don't take up precious space on my hard drive.
But sync-ing music playlists is convenient.
Podcasts can be managed separately; why not videoes? Or am I missing something?

Once you set your music to Auto-sync, you should have the option to either Auto-sync, or to manually sync the videos. The one confusing part of this is that if music is set to manual, videos are forced to be synced manually...
Let me know,

Unable to sync music manually to iphone4

I placed new music on my itunes that I always use yesterday. Then, as I always do, drag the music onto my iphone on the left, and typically a little blue box appears around the device and once I drop the music, it syncs. However today that's not the case. When I hover the music with the curser over the device, no blue box appears, but a red circle with a red line appears. Hence no synced music.
This is the first time this has happened and I use this iTunes library all the time. I don't want to autosync my iPhone because it will erase my songs that I recently cleared off my system. Help

For those who just want to sync new songs and 6.1.2 has ruined it for them by not syncing:
Connect iPod to iTunes (cable or Wifi). Select all the songs in your library and uncheck. Click on your iPod in the side bar. In the Summary page, scroll down a little and look for the box 'Manually manage music and videos'. Uncheck that box.
The box above it called 'Sync only checked songs and videos' will be automatically checked now.
Go to your music library = main iTunes window, select all the songs, right click and select 'check selection'.
Click on your iPod and click Sync. The music will start to copy. It finally started to work for me just now.
Best of luck!

Sync Music audio with Video Audio PE10

Hi.
I am new to Premiere elements 10 (Changed from Corel to Adobe, so i'm not new to video editing, but I'm not used to PE10).
I am filming a lot of my daughters Circus performances, so very often I find the music number used at the performance and merge that with the video audio in the project.
But I have a problem syncing the music from the audio track on the video with the seperate music track.
So to specify: I want both Audio tracks running at the same time, so that I keep the clapping and the whisteling from the audience, but get the better quality of the music from the external file merged with the music in the video-audio-clip.
Is there a special tool or can someone help me with a special tecnique?
Regards Settemand

Along with the instructions offered above, when nudging the Audio, I would make sure that Snap is OFF, as Snap will try to align your Audio with the beginning (Head), or end (Tail), of you Video Clips. That is useful for many editing operations, but for nudging Audio will frustrate you. The Snap function is a toggle with the S key. Just do not forget to turn it back ON, when done.
Also, though the Soundtrack Audio Track seems to be the ideal location for your extra music, some users have experienced issues, when using it, or the Narration Audio Track. While it seems that those issues are Project-specific, and those Tracks often work well, to keep from being tripped up later, I recommend putting your music on a free Audio Track, such as Audio 2 - just to be safe.
Also, with either an Audio, or Video Track, you can Zoom IN/OUT horizontally with the Timeline Zoom slider, AND can also Zoom IN/OUT vertically, by going to the Track's Header (where the Track Name is located), then hovering your cursor over the little line between the Track, until it changes to an equal sign with up/down arrows, then click+drag, to enlarge the Track (and the Clip display) vertically. I find that this makes viewing the Audio Waveform Display easier, and the peaks are more obvious. When done, you can just reverse that operation to Zoom OUT on the Track vertically, so that it looks like it did, before you started.
Good luck, and this FAQ Entry might be useful, though it talks about OOS (Out Of Sync) Audio, the functions are the same for syncing additional Audio: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=0

Problems Syncing music Manually after Disabling Itunes Match

I recently disabled iTunes match and since doing so I have been unable to manually transfer music to my iphone 4 or transfer purchases from my iphone to my itunes... anyone have a clue to how I might fix this? It's very wierd, it's almost like my computer doesn't recognize my iphone as being assocaited with my account..

Now I deleted all settings and data from my iPad, restored from backup and tried to sync all music again. Now most of the titles are synced. But there are still about 10 title, that do not sync.
If I browse for them on the iPad (in iTunes) the information shows the following:
Size: Stream
Data rate: 256 kbit/s
The song in my library is an MP3 with 192 kBit/s. So this information is completely wrong.
For me it seems, like the music library on the iOS devices got screwed up. The question is, how can I reset my music library without losing all the other data on the devices?

Can only sync music manually!!!

When I try to automatically update songs from the library I get an error message saying the file can't be read - I restored the ipod and tried again - same deal! Switched to manual and it works ok, I can even do around twenty songs at once manually, but sometimes it stops and gives the same error message. If I try again it seems to work...this is driving me nuts!!! Any ideas?

Thanks for that info...I did find that document on the support site and had already tried most stuff on there - BUT I did not know that I had a USB2 port (faster data transfer?) on the back of the computer which seemed to work fine. I had been connecting to a USB1 port at the front! Problem seems to be solved...but not until AFTER I transfered about 1500 files manually...d'oh!

Can't sync music on my iPhone 3.0

I have an original 8GB iPhone.. and since I updated it I haven't been able to sync my music, I can sync anything but the music, includding apps and photos, but when I try to sync the music, it gets synced but when it's finished syncing it appears a message saying that there was an unknown error and it can't be synced, and it appears in iTunes that my music is in the iPhone.. but it isn't!
This error just appears when I try to sync music, and it's not a Playlist because I already tried diferent playlists and it's still not working, and this started happening since I updated my iPhone
Please someone help me, I am going on vacation soon and I really need my music to travel
Thank you for reading.

Well, this may or may not help but it is an idea...
Try syncing music manually. The choice is on the first screen of syncing. If you select this box, iTunes expect you to drag your music from the music library onto the iphone and it will sync right then.
In other words, if you connect your phone, select "Manually manage music and videos ", then you can start dragging music from the library to the phone. Each playlist or group of songs you drag will sync immediately. This should help you determine if it is something in the music that does not sync
AND manual syncing of music applies to ringtones, videos, rented movies and tv shows. I"m not saying its easier or more fun, just another way to sync that might help.

Can't Sync Music after installing OS4 on brand new ipod

Bought a new 8gb touch today, apps all moved over fine but anytime try to sync music manually or automatically, I get message error occured and Itunes shuts down.
Have reinstalled itunes to no avail and tried using a different cable.
Tried to restore to factory settings but still have OS4.
Only thing I have done today is install the update and after reading all the post's here wish I hadnt.
Any ideas folks, thanks in advance

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

I can't sync music to my iDevice without it removing what is already on it

I have recently gotten a new computer, because my old one broke and we did not find the want to fix it just so it would break again (it was unreliable), and so now that I have new music on this computer that I would like to sync to my iPod and my iPhone it won't allow me to do that without iTunes first removing everything on my iPod/iPhone.
Considering that if I were to do this.. I'd forever lose all those files that are on my iPod/iPhone. I have been suggested to go back onto my old computer get all of the song files onto a storage device and transfer them to this computer, but the problem is.. my old computer is broken, and I'm fairly sure it's not even around my household anymore.
So, if there is any kind of way to get around this on iTunes or someway I can get my songs and such from my iDevices onto this computer, but not necessarily iTunes (first), it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I can see this is an old question but I had this problem this week and spoke with tech support for an hour + to get the answer. The problem is visible within iTunes when you are connected to the mac and try to sync music, but are unable because the screen says: iTunes Match is Turned On, even tho it is indeed turned off on your computer settings, and you have not renewed the subscription in the iTunes Store account settings on line. The fix is on the iPhone or the iPad. By the way, since this is an older post let me mention I am on Yosemite, and iTunes 12 and ios8 on the iPhone.
I tried several steps that didn't work, some that were listed on help sites and some the senior tech people had me try.
The fix worked like this. I plugged in the iPhone to the mac with the sync cable and with iTunes open and on the music setting it says, "iTunes Match is On" then I went to iPhone touched "settings" then "iTunes & App Store" then at the top of the next screen where it says Apple ID: in Blue - touch your ID. Then a menu appears that says, View Apple id, Sign Out, Forget and Cancel. Touch the Sign Out Item. Now you should be signed out of the iTunes store on your phone.
Next unplug the iPhone from the computer and plug it back in. Now when you go to the section in iTunes to sync music it will say, "Sync Music Manually" and you can now sync as you want to do. When you are done go back to the settings on the iPhone and sign back in.
I have an iPhone and 2 iPads, I had to do this procedure on each of my devices.
The phone no longer has a toggle setting to turn off "iTunes Match" like the help pages say. I think the phone is supposed do identify that you are no longer subscribed all on its own, but if for some reason it doesn't, then this may help.

Ios7 incorrectly syncs music when "Manually manage music and videos" checked

iPhone 5 with ios7.0.2
Mac 10.6.8 with iTunes 11.1.1
Since installing ios7 iTunes syncs music even though I always have the "Manually manage music and videos" checkbox checked. Since I don't want to keep the same music on my Mac that I have on my phone, this results in the music on the phone being deleted when I manually drag new music onto it in iTunes. This happened with the previous version of iTunes, before updating to 11.1.1, and still happens with 11.1.1.
Other iPhone settings:
Music: everything off / disabled
iTunes & App Store: everything off / disabled
iTunes settings:
Summary tab: only "Manually manage music and videos" checked
Music tab: nothing checked or selected
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Then you are the only person I know that can do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. It is restricted by design to one library.

Manually sync videos but auto sync music?

Anyone know how to do this? When I uncheck the "sync videos" command on ipod preferences, it erases all my videos from my ipod and won't let me manually drag the ones I want onto it.
If I check the "manually manage music and videos" button, it also unsyncs my music, and when I try to click the "sync music" button, it deletes all my manually added videos...
Any ideas? Videos take up lots of space on my comp, so I would like to put them on my ipod and delete them from itunes so they use up less space, but I would like my music to continue automatically updating...all help appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't fully understand your sync/delete method for videos. I'm not sure I know of a way to work around this dilemma short of manually updating your iPod.
If you have to resort to manually managing your files, you could resort to the "playlist" update option:
Try creating playlist(s) and syncing only those playlists.
Select the iPod in iTunes. Click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and Selected playlists.
Tick the playlists you want on the iPod.
Then just Add/Delete from those playlists and plug in the iPod.
When you add a video and delete it from your library things won't get erased this way.

Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.
As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
Many thanks!

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?
