Sync Question re iPod Touch

I have an ipod touch 4th generation. All I want to do is sync the recently added songs from my Mac's iTunes without watching and waiting while everything, old or new syncs...again. It starts this as soon as I plug the ipod touch into the Mac. On my old iPod, all I did was plug it into the Mac and bingo, short sync with only the recently added tunes on my Mac going to the iPod. And I do not always remember between syncs what has been recently added and not synced previously so I do not want to have to hunt for and check the things to be sent to the iPod Touch. Thanks for the help.

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods... automatically" to no sync when you connect the iPod.
See the following for how to sync.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
I think you want to set up syncing so the entire library syncs automatically.

  • Apps will not sync to my Ipod touch

    I read through the other question about the apps not syncing to the ipod touch. I then realized that I do not have the Applications tab on my Itunes. I also just recently downloaded the new Itunes as well. Not sure how to get the applications tab or how to get them to sync without it.

    Two questions, have you ever been able to Sync Apps to his Touch and have you *enabled restrictions* on his Touch?
    On the Touch, go into the Settings/General/Restrictions menu and look for *Installing Apps* on that list. If you have set restrictions on, *Installing Apps* is set to On as a default (on my Touch anyway), so you need to turn off the Apps one, at least until you have installed the ones you are prepared to let him have.

  • Stop Profile From Sync'ing to iPod Touch

    Hi All,
    I have a question regarding permanently removing profiles from the iPod touch. I currently have an iPhone (which has a work related profile), but I use the same computer to sync my iPod touch. For some reason the work profile syncs onto the iPod touch even though the work application is not sync'd to the iPod. In addition, I manually have removed the profile from the Mobile Applications sub directory.
    I also deleted the profile from from the iPod, but every time the iPod is sync'd the profile shows back how. How do I delete this permanently?
    Thanks.

    It was actually loaded by an application from work. I think the profile is called a "Provisioning Profile" (not Configuration Profile). It is definitely loaded as part of the application, but I have removed the application and deleted the backup and sync histories...
    No use, it still shows up after a sync. There is got to be something hidden...
    Thanks.

    Is it compatible with your iPod Touch and its iOS version...
    If yes... Contact the Developer of the App.
    If necessary...

  • I bought two songs off itunes and they wont sync onto my ipod touch but they did sync onto my ipod classic.  I have tried all troubleshooting ideas to get the songs to sync on my ipod toch but nothing works. :(

    I bought some songs off of itunes and the songs synced onto my ipod CLASSIC but they didnt sync into my ipod TOUCH. I have tried authorizing and deauthorizing my laptop, updating softwares but nothing works. Anyone know why this is happening?!?!?!

    Hi,
    The songs need to be in the playlist(s) that go onto the ipod touch.
    Plug the ipod touch into the computer and go to the music section of it from the devices menu. From here make sure that the playlist(s) that go on to this ipod are the ones that have the new songs.
    Once this is done, click sync/apply.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT1351 I copied my songs onto itunes from a usb and it wont sync to my ipod touch 4th generation and it has enough memory

    PLEEZ HELP ME

    If you use automatic syncing (not the manual method), you need to set up the Music tab.  The Music tab appears on the "row of tabs" that starts with Summary, when you select the iPod touch in iTunes.  Click on Music there.  This is where you define how iTunes automatically syncs the iPod touch.  First, make sure Sync Music is checked,
    If your music library is smaller than the capacity of the iPod, you can select to sync Entire music library. Then, everything in your music library should sync to the iPod. Chances are, your music library is larger (or you don't want to completely fill your iPod touch with only music).  In that case, you need to choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, or genres.  Then, down below, select the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres to sync.  Click the Apply button to apply any changes you made to the sync settings.
    Going forward, any changes you make to your iTunes Music library that are related to the settings on the Music tab, for your iPod touch, will be synced.  One simple way to set it up is to create a new playlist in iTunes (call it something like "iPod touch music").  Put only the songs you want on the iPod touch on that playlist.  Set up the Music tab to only sync that playlist.  Update that playlist (in iTunes) as needed and those changes will sync to the iPod touch when you connect it or click the Sync button.

  • When i download apps from itunes they wont sync to my ipod touch?

    when i dowload apps from itunes on my laptop the apps wont sync to my ipod touch?

    Do you have the correct boxes checked to sync the apps to the iPod?
    Is the iPod signed into the same aiTunes account that purchased the apps?
    Are the apps compatible with your iPod model?
    Have you syncd apps to your iPod before?
    Have you tried downloading the app directly to your iPod? If you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased them you will not be charged again.

  • How can I sync my G2 iPod touch with iCloud Contacts

    I have a second generation iPod touch OS 4.2.1.
    My iMac runs OS X 10.7.3 and I have an iPad 3rd generation.
    My Address Book Contacts and iCal Calendars are in iCloud. I have no On My Mac contacts or calendars.
    I can sync my iCloud calendars with the iPod touch by choosing the iCloud calendars identified with my Apple ID in the iTunes calendar sync dialog.
    The iTunes sync dialog for the Address Book, however, does not show my iCloud Contacts and only has a choice for syncing all contacts, which I have chosen.
    My calendars sync to my iPod touch, but my Address Book does not.

    This says that it can't be done.
    But I am able to do it for my calendars in iCloud, just not for my contacts in iCloud.
    What is the reason for the difference.

  • My Reminders app will not open. When I try to open it, quits and gives me an error message: "Reminders quit unexpectedly while using the CalDAV plug-in." My Reminders is synced with my iPod touch, and it is fine on that. How do I fix it?

    My Reminders app will not open. When I try to open it, it quits and gives me an error message: "Reminders quit unexpectedly while using the CalDAV plug-in." My Reminders is synced with my iPod touch, and it is fine on that. How do I fix it?
    Also, the Calendar is loading very very slowly, and sometimes it quits and gives me the same error message as above.

    The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.

  • I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad.  As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message.  I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

    I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad.  As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync.  I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed.  Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • How can i sync my new ipod touch to a mac ibook

    I have an i new ipod touch and have a mac ibook g4 with an operating system of 10.4.11 and for some reason it won't let me sync my new ipod touch to my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Yo need to upgrade OSX to 10.5.8. The system requirements for the new 4G iPod Tough are:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.
    You can get it on eBay, maybe Craig's list and from the Apple store. However, it is not offered in the on-line Apple store so you will have to call. The price is $129.

  • How do I force a manual sync for my iPod touch w/iTunes v.11.0.1.2?

    After the upgrade to iTunes 11.0.1.2 I am unable to find a way to force a manual sync for my iPod Touch.  Also, some of the podcasts seem not to go into the proper folders, they wind up in an "unkown album" folder after downloading.  Is there a way to fix this or even manually move them into the proper folders(albums)?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

  • Ok, when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer, it says unable to connect for unknown reasons, and as a benefit, it shows the songs as faded in the list and therefore unplayable. how do i fix this problem?

    as stated in the title, i when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer it says its unable to connect due to unkown reasons. the music is listed on my touch as there, but faded (minus a selected few songs) and therefore are unplayable. i have no idea where to start, i figured downloading the newest itunes update, however, it no longer shows up when i start it up. confused.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another cable and USB port
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    Hi Pez,
    iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
    Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
    Cheers,
    GB
