Sync problem again

Hi,
I have no problem in sync-ing movies to my ATV as long as I selected the movie on my iTunes.
My question is: is it possible to keep the movie on the ATV while I remove it from my desktop?
After viewing a movie on ATV, I'd like to remove it from my desktop to free up disk space, but as ATV has 40GB harddisk, it is possible to keep it there for some more time?
Thanks.

Any file (music, video, photo etc.) has to be kept in iTunes to be kept on ATV, therefore, if the video you talk about is kept on the Desktop by iTunes, then you're stuck with it there.
Removing sync'ed content from iTunes, removes it from ATV.

Itunes 10.2.2.12 - All Itunes 10 Version Sync problems

I am using Windows XP PC latest service pack, I have a newer 5th Gen 16GB Ipod Nano, I now have the latest Itunes 10.2.2.12. Every since I have had this newer Ipod Nano,and with first version of Itunes 10, nothing but syncing problems. After calling Apple Ipod Tech Support, and scouring Apple Help screens and forums, just like Apple Tech Support reps, the recommendation is mostly the same, they have me go through the grueling, time consuming process of Uninstalling and Re-installing Itunes, which I have done many times, sometimes it would help in syncing, many times not.Also tried other Apple support recommendation tricks with Apple Mobile Device too, and even upgraded to a Higher speed USB Port,again it would sync for a while and then eventually would start having same sync problems again, even after updating to the latest Itunes. Errors: Itunes is Unable to locate Ipod attached, or The required folder cannot be found.
When exactly will Apple tech Support put out a New Fully Stable Itunes Version to correct and remove these problems that occur over and over again, with so many Ipod users online?? I am getting so frustrated, that I am looking for Itunes and even Ipod better alternatives to avoid these big time consuming headaches. Anybody have a Full solution, or at least somewhat permanent Solution to these Ipod sync Errors?? Thanks for your time.

well i'm running iTunes same vsn on a brand new iMac i7 2.93GHz and i'm constantly having to wait while the old beach ball of death appears. it usually only halts normal operation for 15 to 40secs but thats ridiculous enough. i've got 16Gb of DRAM and even with no other apps running this happens - and it happens about every 3 mins or so. crazy.
9037 songs in the library.
i guess this is better than iPhoto 9 which crashed and refuses to boot full stop, in spite of several re-instals.
and i thought the new world of apple was gonna be rosy. hmmmm.

Frustrating audio sync problem with MJPG clips!

I make short films from our family trips, using the jpg:s and mjpg clips made with our Canon compact digital camera. This has worked fine (since PE 2). Now I often get a frustrating audio problem on SOME of the MJPG:s, SOMETIMES.
When I play the clip in PE7, after 0.5 - 1 sec the audio jumps back to start, before it continues to the end along with the video. This makes the audio out of sync with the video (lagging 0,5 – 1 seconds).
The only way to fix this is to separate the audio track from the video, cut the start of the audio (to where it jumps back to the start) and then move the audio track to make it in sync. Besides being a tedious way to do on all clips, the audio track is not possible to extend “in the other end”, so I have to cut the video at the end as well…
However, this is not happing on all MJPG clips but only on some.
Also, the clip looks fine in other programs, e.g. wmp or windows movie maker.
I have tried other MJPG decoders but that does not make any difference (so it’s obviously no problem with the video). The audio is PCM Audio 44100Hz, 706 kb/s mono.
Now, when I tried repairing the PE7 installation, updating DirectX, removing all caches in the project directory, rebooting, it worked! The clip I was testing was in sync!
But, the next day I noticed the sync problem again on a lot of other clips… I then thought I should try to force PE to reanalyze the video again, so I remove the cache-directories (did not help) and moved the project file to another directory (this did not help, but on the other hand, I didn’t see PE7 analyzing the video again, so maybe there is a cache somewhere else??)
I noticed (looking at properties on the clip in the preview window in PE7), that the original audio is 44100Hz mono, but PE7 converts it to 48000Hz mono. Don’t know if there is some problem there, but it should not be any difference on different clips from the same source… (and the “jump back” in audio is 0,5-1 seconds regardless of clip length, and not the 9% that the difference in frequency would suggest + the audio plays in “normal speed”).
I’ve run out of ideas!!
Please, does anybody have any constructive ideas or tips on what to try? Are there more caches to clear? Are there conflicts with another program, like wmp?
(I use PE 7.0 on a 4Gb, quadcore system running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.)

Thanks, I suppose I can start batch-converting my mjpg movies before importing them inte PE7, if that would make this problem disappear. I'll try that (I have FormatFactory installed, but VirtualDub seems like a nice tool if that is better), although that would make the process a bit more long-winded...
Regarding GSPOT info on a file that works and one doesn't, there are typically no difference between them (except length and content, of course). In fact, as I mentioned above, the same movie did not work until I did some reinstalling, clearing caches etc. Then the same movie suddenly worked OK again.
I attach the GSPOT info on that file.
(I never had this problem on my older XP system that run PE2...).
I will try converting to see if the problem disappears.
Thanks!

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers

2014 Sync problems on iPod classic / Please help!! 2014

Hello community!
I really need some help with this problem I am having... I have done some research for the past few days on my own but nothing I have found has helped.
First some specs on my device...
iPod Classic: 80 GB (I believe this is iPod with video, assumed on the fact that it supports movie syncs)
iPod software version: 1.1.2 (up to date according to iTunes)
Formatted for Windows
Syncing to Dell Inspiron with Windows 7
iTunes updated to current version (11.4)
I had much mof my music library uploaded onto my iPod for quite sometime. (close to 14,000 songs synced at 192 kbps) I often like to put my iPod on shuffle and just listen to whatever comes on, but here and there I will skip songs until something I am in the mood for comes on... I began to notice that my iPod was freezing (ON THE DISPLAY ONLY!!! Playback through speakers continued) when I would skip through songs... Once the screen dimmed however, I could once again skip to the next song. I figured this was a problem concerning corrupted files or something similar. These are the steps I took..
1.) Updated iTunes to version 11.4 and checked for further updates
2.) ATTEMPTED to check disk within Windows (was unsuccessful and heard the iPod making a lot of 'clicking' noises from within the casing)
3.) Performed an iPod restore within iTunes
4.) Performed a check disk within Windows and recovered any bad sectors (SUCCESSFUL)
5.) Selected 'Music' sync and the option for 'Entire music library'
6.) UNCHECKED 'Include music videos'
7.) Reconfigured settings as they were before and made slight changes..
     a.) Checked 'Open iTunes when this iPod is connected'
     b.) Checked 'Sync only checked songs and videos'
     c.) Checked 'Convert higher bit rate songs to '192 kbps' AAC'
     d.) Unchecked 'Manually manage music and videos'
     e.) Unchecked 'Enable disk use'
8.) Began a sync on my iPod... With well over 10,000 songs I knew this was going to be a lengthy process.. I left computer unattended..
When I returned to my computer, iTunes was unresponsive... The only way I could get iTunes to show was to minimize a Window on top of iTunes. iTunes states 'Syncing iPod... Do not disconnect' but does not show a rolling progress bar.. I cannot cancel sync, I cannot eject iPod, I cannot close iTunes...
I attempt to eject iPod device through windows, UNSUCCESSFUL (Cannot unmount generic volume while the device is in use)
I 'Ctrl+Alt+Dlt' to Task Manager and End Program 'iTunes' UNSUCCESSFUL..
I End Process 'iTunes.exe *32' and eject iPod through Windows SUCCESSFUL
When the iPod displayed 'OK to disconnect with load bar, I disconnected the device.
As soon as this bar was full iPod IMMEDIATELY rebooted completely and powered back up with only 20 songs synced. (Frustration ensues)
Confused and thinking maybe my screen saver caused an interruption during the sync, I changed screen saver and power saving options to eliminate any possible interruption, REPEATED STEPS 3-8 ABOVE, and started sync again.. Left computer unattended
Again, coming back to computer much later, iTunes was in the same unresponsive state. Closed iTunes and began looking for answers on the internet. Any and all answers I found stated I should restore iPod, update iTunes, run diagnostics tests, etc., etc...
All of which I had done EXCEPT for running a diagnostics test..
Running a diagnostics test: I ran only the tests concerned with 'Device Connectivity' and 'Device sync' tests.. Here are the very interesting results I yielded from these tests...
Device Connectivity Test:
Support services:
     'iPod support service is running.' Status: GREEN
     'iTunes Helper is running.' Status: GREEN
     'Apple Mobile Device is running.' Status: GREEN
Ports:
     'USB ports verified.' Status: GREEN
     'No FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports found.' Status: GREEN
     'iPod found.' Status GREEN
ALL TESTS PASSED
Device Sync Tests
Results:
     No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Status: RED
ONE OR MORE TESTS FAILED
I am at a loss, I realize that Apple has discontinued the iPod Classic but does that mean iTunes will no longer support these devices!?
And if ANYONE has ANY suggestions for possible steps I can take to regain syncing privileges to my iPod once again, please let me know!
Also, I have diagnostics test results saved on my desktop and available to post if required!
Thank you for any and all help!
-Chris

!UPDATE!
I made several adjustments to my sync options and made some progress and am now trying to sync in 'stages' as I like to think of them.
Here is what I did:
1.) Under 'Music' tab in 'My iPod' options I opted to sync 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'
2.) Selected a small portion of tunes I know I want on my iPod (ended up being close to 3,500 songs.
3.) Under 'Summary' tab I unchecked the 'Sync only checked songs and videos' box
4.) Unchecked 'Convert higher bit rate songs to ___ AAC'
5.) Checked 'Enable disk use'
6.) Ran a SUCCESSFUL sync!
I am now running a sync keeping the same adjustments in place and have added 6,556 songs. (SYNC IN PROGRESS)
I am wondering if trying to convert that many songs to a lower bit rate is causing sync problems and it appears as if I am at least making progress on this. HOWEVER, I really prefer to decrease the bit rate on my songs so I may fit more on my iPod... Usually most of the files I have in iTunes are at 320 kbps with a select few at 192 kbps. I would like to make everything the way it was before my first iPod restore.. 192 kbps, but this also seems to be the cause of the sync problems I am having? Anyone else have a comment on this?
Thanks again

Sync Problem with iPod Touch and Apple TV relating to iPhoto

I have recently recovered from a crash and has to restore everything from my time machine.
I have an iPod touch that syncs with my itunes and therefore with my iPhoto.
Same thing with my Apple TV syncing via itunes with my iPhoto.
After the restore. I have this message:" itunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
Previously I got the same message when syncing iPod touch with iPhoto. Then I opened iPhoto package content and remove the iPod Photo cache. that solves my iPod touch sync problem.
How can I sync with Apple TV again?

I believe you need to reset the Sync services data. Assuming your data on the Mac is correct (or correctable), try this:
1. If it is easy enough to do, clean up iCal. There are AppleScripts and other tools on the Internet to do this.
2. Save a copy of you calendar. Just in case. (File, Back up iCal...)
3. Exit iCal.
4. Start iSync.
5. Preferences, Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a few minutes.)
6. Quit iSync.
7. Start iTunes and plug in your iPod.
8. Select your iPod and go to the Info tab.
9. Make sure you have the correct Calendars selected. At the bottom, under Advanced, under Replace information on this iPod, select Calendars.
10. Sync.
That should do it.
Normally, the fiddling with iSync should clear things up, so you can try just that, and syncing, but since your have a messed up situation, I'd go through all these steps once.

Sync problem after update

I installed the iTunes update and the 3.1 iPhone update. I had no problems with those at all. I then decided to sync my phone. My syncs usually only take a few minutes. My phone has been on "syncing iPhone" for at least an hour. It hasn't moved to backing up phone or anything.
I'm not sure whether to just let it continue or if there is something else I should do. The sync process is using nearly 100 percent of my cpu on the computer and I could barely get anything else open to get to this forum and type this message.
Any suggestions are welcome. Is anyone else having unusual syncing experience since the update? What will happen if it never progresses and I just need to unplug it? What will I need to do with the iPhone?
In my year of having the iPhone I've never had a sync problem before. Thanks for any help.

I just cancelled the sync by using the slider. I didn't realize I could do that. The phone seems fine. I may try it again and see what happens.

Sync Problem with Blu Ray

I have a sync problem when using Premiere Pro CS5 to burn Blu Ray DVDs and wondered if anyone has had similar problems and has found a simple solution.
Equipment: Panasonic HMC-150 (AVCHD), shot at 59.94 fps, 720. MacPro with operating system up to date, quad core, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro 4000. PP CS5 also has all current updates downloaded.
When the AVCHD files are imported, they tend to be out of sync by 8 to 22 frames. I manually resync and edit. Then burn a Blu Ray DVD using Encore and end up out of sync again. I must be doing something wrong but can't figure it out. At this point, the only solution I can think of is to try to figure out how far out of sync I am once the DVD is burned and offset the audio that amount before transcoding.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I have done some more tests and have determined that the problem only exists with Blu-ray. When I burn a non blu-ray dvd, video and audio remain in sync. I attempted to export to Final Cut Pro 7 using the export xml feature, but it doesn't work. I brought the original footage into FCP and burned a portion of it to blu-ray using the Share feature and there was no sync problem. So I guess my only alternative at this point is to re-edit the entire video in FCP.
In Premiere Pro I've checked to make sure that both the camera and the intake were set for no drop frame and they were. I've tried double checking the audio sync using the audio line out from the Mac rather than the firewire out to the Mackie Mixer, just in case there was a latency problem, which didn't seem logical and there wasn't any difference. It can't be a problem with the blu-ray burner since it works in FCP7. I'm running out of ideas of things I can tweak in Premiere, other than guessing just how far out of sync the program pushes the audio and then unlinking audio and pushing it the same number of frames the other direction before burning the blu-ray, but that will be hit and miss and it will start getting expensive throwing away blu-ray disks.
Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Jon

Sync problem: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 4097

Sync problem
Hello,
Synchronisation goes fine untill the moment i insert a huge number of rows into two tables. When synchronize after the inserts i get following message at client/device : An internal error has occurred. 4097.
At Server i get:
Sync session exception stack trace:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 4097

When I delete the inserted rows everything goes fine.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

- Where did you insert new records, on client or server?
- Please try put this line on webtogo.ora:
USE_JVM_COMPRESSION=NO
Bounce your mobileserver and re-sync it again.
If not succes, try to delete *snd.bin file in /mobileclient/oldb40 directory, but you need to update C$INFO in conscli database to indicate that send file does not exist.
Good luck...

Premiere removes black footage on import causing audio sync problems.

Hello,
Strange problem at the moment. I've exported DSLR footage and audio from Premiere as H.264 - works fine - its my usual export and one I'm allways happy with for most uses. No sync problems, but some black footage (or blank footage).
When I import this into Premiere again, the black footage seems to be removed and thus the audio is completely out of sync. Any thoughts?

I'm inclined to say observer/operator error here. I don't believe it's possible for PP to do as you claim, so I'm skeptical of your conclusion.

Strange new syncing problem

Syncing has never been an issue until last week.
My ATV is synced to my MacBook Pro. Last week when I switched on the MBP and opened iTunes it started to sync, but strangely instead of showing my ATV content at approx. 100GB it showed it to be only approx. 20GB and was trying to sync 1,750+ files to the Apple TV. This didn't make any sense as a) I hadn't changed any settings and b) the only new content on the MBP was a couple of new pod casts. Anyway it wouldn't sync, just would get past the first file. What was even stranger was that all the content (i.e. over 100 GB) was still available on the ATV. Even if I switched the MBP off (i.e. it wasn't being streamed from the MBP) it was actually still on the ATV even though iTunes on the MBP said it wasn't and was trying to sync it back on.
Anyway, in the end I had to reset the ATV back to factory settings and reinstall all the content.
Trouble is, exactly the same thing has happened again. Ahaaaghhhhh!!!!!!
Has anyone else had the same problem?
I'm reluctant to go back to the Apple store as to be frank no one there seems to know anything about ATV at all. And even though the product is less than a year old, Apple want to change me if I phone them up to ask them for some advice about this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Similar problem. I've had the AppleTV for 6 months now and its been flawless until the last two weeks.
I noticed one night that iTunes said it was syncing with AppleTV. Nothing weird about that. When I woke up it still said it was syncing...not normal. I packed up my MacBookPro and left for work. Got home and noticed the same hours and hours of syncing, but for no reason. Content was still on the ATV, so I saw no reason for the sync.
A New episode of a TV show became available, so I attempted to download it through the ATV, which has been a feature that never worked for me. Again, no dice, so I run upstairs to the MPB and download the new episode to iTunes. I see the prolonged sync message again, run downstairs and no new episode was shown. I tried rebooting both machines, signing out of the iTunes account on both machines and nothing worked.
So I restored to factory settings, re ran updates, and re-synced data and all was well.
Now I see iTunes telling me that its syncing the ATV again all night long. I have no idea why this is happening. The day before yesterday I rented an HD movie through the ATV, which took all freaking day to download, and attempted to watch it last night but the ATV took forever to authorize the movie and after ten minutes of watching the thing move in circles it tells me the content isn't authorized. HOW IS IT NOT AUTHORIZED WHEN I BOUGHT IT ON THE ATV LAST NIGHT?!?
Very aggravating. I've been a die-hard apple enthusiast for twenty years, starting when I was only six years old on my father's mac classic and my elementary school's apple II's. I haven't done any software updates that I can recall in the last two weeks to make the ATV start to act this strange.
Help!!

Notes syncing problem

Mini ipad 7.1; Mail 4.6; iTunes 11.4; Mac os x 10.6.8 notes syncing problem
I type a lot on my ipad. Some of them I update daily.
Problem:
Mail only sync SOME notes, not all, randomly. (Strange)
The ones that synced, sometimes get updated sometimes don't, in Mail. (Strange)
I don't sync with icloud or whatever. I just click sync on iTunes.
Tried creating a test note from the Mail app. Works, but a second sync creates a duplicate note. Delete one of them, edit the note from ipad, doesn't sync anymore.

Plug ipad to my mac. Open itunes. Click sync. Open mail. Some new notes created in ipad are in mail, but not all notes.
No additional software. No updates nor upgrades.
Changes on device:
Created new notes, click sync on itunes. No new notes in mail. Days or weeks later, sync again in itunes, some new notes visible in mail but not all new.
Allow me to repeat again:
Mail only sync SOME notes, not all, randomly.
The ones that synced (which I update in ipad), sometimes get updated sometimes don't, in Mail.
Tried creating a test note from the Mail app. Works, but a second sync creates a duplicate note. Delete one of them, edit the note from ipad, doesn't sync anymore.

New Touch Missing Movie Rental/Game "In-App Purchase" Sync Problems.

just picked up the new iPod Touch 4G (64GB) and am syncing to Win7 Starter (32bit).
I rented a few movies before I bought the Touch. They all seemed to download fine. the "Move" sync process seemed like it worked perfectly. When I looked back at my movies on my touch, some of them were missing. When I double checked my rental section in iTunes the movies were missing. I remember a dialogue later, saying that the file couldn't be found. I ran a quick windows search with no results.
So it seems like I could "Move" the movie fine, but after the sync finished, the files were gone from both the computer and the touch.
Could someone please explain this, and what I may do to recover those files? I did pay for them after all, and would still like to watch them. I just don't want to pay for them twice.
Also (another similar issue):
I downloaded and played the game "FieldRunners" fine, but then decided to do an "in-app purchase" for the next level. I clicked download/entered my info/ and it seemed to download correctly, but when I re-entered the app, the level was not available to play. just weird.
FYI: this is my first iOS device, so please don't flame me for newbie ignorance.
Any advice/suggestions are welcome!
Thanks.
Overall, Here is my experience with the new touch:
First Connection: Installation did not work. Unplugged / Replugged USB worked correctly. (no restart necessary).
Selecting content to sync: Did not detect Outlook 2010 (FULL/NOT BETA) for Contacts/Calendar/etc.
I chose not to sync this through iTunes, and instead setup an "Exchange" account on my iPod Touch through google (m.google.com). Works perfectly.
I have my other email addresses forwarded through gmail to take care of push notifications. I still don't have Outlook 2010 calendars synced with google yet, but I'll figure that out.
Then I noticed the other sync problems mentioned above.
Again, any help would be appreciated!

Hi Epski
Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!
You don't have a Samsung TV by any chance do you?
