Sync options keep getting lost

Every since the new update for iTunes 11.0.1 in Windows, iTunes will not remember to "Manually Manage" for any of the 3 ipods that we have. This happens when you disconnect your ipod, but it also happens in the middle of selecting options for your ipod sync while it is still plugged in! If you select the "Manually Manage" option and then apply, then you have to go to songs and reselect those after hitting apply on that page you cannot move to select audiobooks or the "Manually Manage" option will be deselected and you cannot get both songs and audiobooks on your ipod. VERY Frustrating!
Can this be fixed or can I revert to the previous version?

Sounds like you sync your phone between two different computers? If this is the case, the options unchecking themselves seems to be an intentional thing by Apple, I'm thinking to prevent an accidental "oops" overwrite of information if auto-sync is active.
You can choose the "merge" option and everything on your phone (contacts and calendars, but NOT music) will be merged with everything on your computer - this is, everything will end up in both places.
You can only sync music with one computer, however, so make sure you keep the music options unchecked on the computer you don't sync music with.

HT1535 ting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied" does i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on anyone know why ?

i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be Applied" has anyone had a similar problem? and what should i do ?

I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
But.
I too had a similar problem and an "error" message (waiting for changes to be applied)
- my thoughts were:
Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
Corruption
Itunes software issue
After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
This can be viewed when you click on your device - right up the top you'll see tabs
SUMMARY / INFO / APPS / TONES / MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS / BOOKS / PHOTOS etc.
I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
Wha La!
It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
Hope this helps somebody.
It certainly made my life less frustrating
Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

Sync contacts and calendar options keep getting unchecked

The options to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar keep getting unchecked each time I restart iTunes. When I recheck them and attempt to sync, I receive a message stating that
"The information on the iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead"
It then asks if I want to "Merge Info" or "Replace Info". I'm not sure how to proceed, since I don't want to lose any data or end up with a bunch of duplicates.
How can I stop this from happening? Any ideas?
I truly appreciate your assistance. Thanks.
Mike

My iPod Classic won't sync--I keep getting error messages.

I have an iPod Classic (Late 2009) that's about a year and a half old. It just started refusing to sync with iTunes. I have a PC, and when I plug the iPod in, the computer wants to scan and fix the iPod. Whether I let it or not--I've done it both ways, multiple times--when I open iTunes, iTunes says I need to restore my iPod. It restores without glitching. But when I try to re-sync my library, I get 200-400 songs in and get an error message that a specific song can't be synced because of "error [numerical error]." I've seen "Error -50" a lot, but not always. It doesn't always get stuck on the same song, artist, or album--just somewhere in the B's, something goes wrong. At the beginning, I was seeing a "duplicate file" error message, but I haven't seen it the last 5-7 times I've gone through the restore-resync process.
I've tried manually managing the content, but the same thing happens. If it doesn't get stuck on a song, it'll say "Finishing Sync" for ages--until I have to force-quit iTunes and manually eject the iPod.
I have reinstalled iTunes--not 100%, but using their "find and replace faulty parts" option. I have an iPhone, and it syncs with no problem, and I my iTunes library itself is functioning totally normally. However, iTunes freezes a lot when I'm trying to fix this problem with my iPod, including when I first plug it in. I've had to force-quit iTunes multiple times because of this.
This all started because my iPod was skipping from about 10 seconds into one song to the next in the playlist. I figured something was wonky with the last sync, so I went to restore my iPod. When I plugged it in, I noticed that there was a software update, so I did that--I can't remember if I restored, then did the update, or the other way around. But nothing has worked since then.
It must be a problem with the iPod itself that the restore just isn't erasing, but I'm not sure where that leaves me. Help?

This could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

I had a HD crash and rebuilt system. Trying to setup sync and keep getting wrong key on verify even though it is the one I have always used. I have an account but cannot verify or create new one. Why does this have to be so damn difficult?

Had a main system drive go out. Replaced and reloaded and now trying to get firefox sync to work and when I put in login info and my key it says wrong key but I do not have any other key and have used this key for years.
Can someone help me fix this without having to recreate a whole new account?

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

I keep getting lost in this,,,

i am not in a great situation right now... despite the fact that i had believed that my home was stable, apparently my room-mate had different ideas, and has really (don't want to be rude, so i'll just say censored) me - but i've managed to pull the pieces together (much to his surprise) and am in fact i a way better position for this upcoming move than he is.
but... to my issue. i have (or had... i have disconnected the whole thing) Airport Network in this place - had my share of problems with it, but overall it's working okay now for what i wanted it to do. but with the change in status in our friendship, i want to make some changes to the access levels of my network.
it may seem petty of me, but if since he felt no conscience about pulling the rug out from under me with just two weeks notice, i don't feel bad about what i'm doing. i have disconnected the internet from my Airport Network, and am accessing it directly on my own - just to make his life here a bit more difficult. afterall, if he can leave me in a scramble, why should i let him use my internet connection...
but to the point. while i have disconnected the internet, i do still want to use both my USB printer and AirTunes.
is there a way i can have my Airport Extreme still control my Printer, connect to the Express which is connected to my stereo, without either of them being connected to the internet? any time i try to set this up, i get errors, and Airport Admin will say it cannot read the settings of one or the other. And of course, (for anyone who has seen my other posts re: the Express in particular) the Express has once again entered into its (apparent) default mode of flashing amber combined with its petulant I Will Not Reset, No How, No Way!! mode. Sigh...
I am planning on picking up the new base station after it is released, but will be making my move first, and would like to have my network set up in the new place when i get there.
any ideas? or have i just gotten too convoluted for my own good?
pierce

you know, i can see in the manuals, etc... how this should work. but getting these two Airports to cooperate is another matter. once again, i cannot get either one of them to reset to factory settings... i do want to start them fresh, but following the instructions, even with them attached to the book directly via ethernet. the extreme just will not reset at all, and keeps coming back up with the same settings as before. if i try to use Airport Admin to change the configuaration, it delivers an error message that it can't read the configurations setting.
the express on the other hand... at one point last night i thought i had actually managed to do what i wanted with it, and that it had taken the factory reset. at that point, i had decided to set them both up as individual networks rather than try to join them together - but once the Express as detached from the book, and set up by the stereo, it went back to the flashing Amber light and will not communicate with the MacBook.
for now i am thinking of packing them both up until after the move. once i know where i am going, etc... and have moved myself, i will be better able to concentrate on what i am doing, and will hopefully be able to get it working again at the new place.
but thank you for your response. i do appreciate it.

I have followed ALL instructions for Firefox Sync and keep getting "Unexpected Error" when I try to log in on desktop.

1) have refreshed Firefox - doesn't help
2) have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox - doesn't help
3) have updated ALL other machines to current version Firefox - they are syncing fine, doesn't help this machine
Any suggestions?

No. I cannot log into an account. I cannot create a new account. I cannot Sync anything. I get the same sequence of events on two different machines: 1) I enter my info and hit return, 2) the little circle spins like something is happening, 3) within 10-15 seconds a red bar appears that says "Working", and 4) within another 10-15 seconds the red bar reads "Unexpected Error."
This same sequence also happens on a BRAND NEW laptop I just brought home from work yesterday and installed Firefox for the first time.
Could this be something with my home network settings?
p.s. I am the question originator... somehow in the process of implementing previous suggestions my old profile was deleted
********************** UPDATE at 12:57pm Thursday
This HAS to be something with my network settings at home. I am now at the office where Sync is working just fine on my work desktop and the BRAND NEW work laptop where I was getting the error messages when I tried this at home.
Any suggestions on where to look?

Board Options keep getting in the way

When you change from one forum to another, the logical 'path' for the mouse-cursor goes over the 'Board Options' menu, or when going into a post, it goes over the 'Thread Options', both of which apparently function as 'OnMouseOver'.
Could this be changed into 'OnClick'?
I find it very irritating to see those options pop up every time I change forum or go into a post!

Hi RBS,
that was getting on my nerves as well, I finally found this option in Profile-Personal Preferences; "Enable Menu Bar Drop Down on Mouse Over ". You need to disable it.

Second Screen Keeps getting Lost

This week (Since the last update) every time my iMac goes to screen saver or sleep and is woken up it cannot regonise the the second monitor anymore. Setting it to the smallest res and losing background settings. This is making it impossible to use my second monitor as the only way to get it to see it is to restart. Unplugging it makes it unable to even see the screen when its plugged back in most of the time.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Peter

My monitor also needs constant auto adjustment as it forgets its position and leads to parts leaving the screen. This never used to happen, being only adjusted once every year or so...

Airport WEP keeps getting lost after reboot

Every time I reboot the WEP connection is lost.
How can I set this up so it stays after a reboot and connects automatically?
Thanks

Delete the WAP from your list of preferred networks and also delete it from your keychain using Keychain Access. Then re-add. I had to do this for bith a WPA and a WPA2 access point. Funny thing is that after upgrading to 10.4.8 it took two days for the WPA account to start misbehaving and another 4 days till the WPA2 one started dropping. Deleting completely and re-adding them fixed it both times.
