Sync with multiple folders?

I would like to sync multiple folders with my iPhone, but the user interface only allows me to select folders that are at the same directory level - I can't select subfolders that are more than one level deep, or multiple folders from arbitrary locations.
Is there a way to do this?
I am syncing from a Windows computer, although I also own a Mac, and could possibly sync from there if it makes a difference.
Thanks,
Frank

You can only sync with one folder; no way around that - you need to collect the pics into that folder, or subfolders within that folder - subfolders within that folder are treated as "albums" within the Photos app in the iPhone. There's no way around that. The same is true on the Mac if you choose to sync to a folder. On the Mac you can also choose to sync to the iPhoto library, but even so, just to the one library and selected albums within that library.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Syncing with multiple computer on iOS 5

Ok am I doing something wrong here or did I expect something amazing from Apple for no reason? You know how if you try to upload something to your iPhone on a different computer you would have to erase your phone and set the other computer as a new library or whatever. So with iOS5 I was under the assumption that they changed it so now you can backup to the cloud storage and sync with multiple computers, meaning you can upload music to your iPhone (mp3's on the computer itself, not iTunes purchases) without having to erase your phone. So what's the deal here? I just re-installed Windows 7, it's going to be a pain having to erase everything and re-upload everything all over again.

The "deal" is the same as always. You can't expect something "amazing" from Microsoft as in not having to reinstall Windows on a regular basis. Why do you accept having to do that?
When having to reinstall Windows which is a regular occurance with that swiss cheese for secuirty OS, you need to update your computer's backup which should include your iTunes library along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc. You need to de-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes before doing so followed by re-authorizing your computer and restoring your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data after doing so.

Can't Sync with Multiple Libraries

My wife gave me an 8 GB iPod Nano for my birthday (I think they really mean 8 gB, but that's not really a big deal). It's got a nice slick aluminum (I think) case and a pretty LCD screen.
I had been resisting getting myself an iPod for a while now because Apple usually screws things up, but she chose it.
Not that I have it, I have decided that I was right. Apple completely screwed this thing up. My wife put a few songs from her laptop on the iPod and then I thought, great. I'll just add some from my laptop. I downloaded the new version of iTunes, but it told me that I couldn't add songs from my library without deleting the songs already on the iPod.
Now, I'm not a moron. I know that there's no technical reason for this reason for this. It's a freakin' piece of flash memory with a usb port and some dsp circuits. And it's one of the most expensive one's on the market. So why doesn't it work correctly?
This gd thing cost my wife $275 and IT DOESN"T WORK!!!! I'd take the POS back except that she already got my name engraved on it (not to mention that it might hurt her feelings).
Can someone please explain why Mac is trying to screw its customers over and why its customers put up with this BS?
I realize that there are probably hacks to get my iPod to sync with multiple libraries, but for $275, it ought to work right out of the box.

Okay. Okay. So I found the option to manually sync my iPod. I still think that it kind of ***** that the iPod doesn't store the files with their real names but instead uses those funny four letter names.

How to sync with multiple computers?

I have my iTunes library on my MacBook and all of my Apple devices synced accordingly. My family also has an iMac, and I would like other family members to be able to sync from the iMac. I know I can use Home Sharing to allow the iMac to view/play the music when my Macbook is active on the network. I also know I can purchase iTunes Match so I can access the music when my MacBook is offline and edit the playlists. Yet, I would love to be able to set up the iMac so the iDevices could actually by synced with that computer as opposed to mine. How can I go about this?

Yes, you can sync your device with multiple computers. Only that one is set to AUTO SYNC whilst the rest is set to "MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC".
Refer to this article:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
However, issues may occur leading to data corruption or data loss if you regularly sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, or bookmarks between multiple computers using iTunes and your iOS device. Syncing once to move your data to a new computer should not cause these issues.

Can't get phone to sync with multiple Google Calendars?

I set up multiple calendar accounts with Google but have run across an issue.....
When I perform a sync from my phone it only syncs with my first "primary" calendar. The items in my "primary" calendar are the only ones that appear on Google Calendar. However when I enter them on Google Calendar and then perform a sync all the items appear on my phone.
Any insight as to how I can get them to sync both ways?

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I am trying to figure this out. I added my dads calendar to mine in a regular browser, and after syncing with my phone, it shows up in the preferences in calendar view options as another calendar that is with my gmail account, and it is set to be visible in the view all calendar. but it does not show, neither does it show when you just go to view that calendar alone. i dont get why this is happening if it is there in my preferences.
im going to just add my dads gmail account to my calendar, but it would be so much easier if all my gmail calendars that are tied to my one gmail account would show. is palm working on a fix for this??

Is there a way to change the color of your calendars in the calendar app when it has been synced with multiple calendars?

I have just purchased an iPad 2 and I have gotten it setup to sync with my multiple calendars on Google Calendar. But the colors I have chosen for displaying my calendars in Google Calendar are not being used when the info comes over to the iPad. The iPad is choosing it's own colors for each calendar. Is there a way to customize this so I know who's calendar I am looking at by color shown? Thanks!

Size is never included in a style for a shape.
If you want to apply the resizing to all shapes, you can use the small flyout menu after applying the resizing to one shape, and choose Apply to all items of this type.

Can't get PC Suite to sync with Outlook folders

When I try to set up PC Suite to sync with my Outlook contacts (in Personal Folders) by pressing "Select Folders" the application hangs - every time. I was using a 6230 - and now want to get my phone contacts onto a 6230i. Running XP SP2 and PC Suite 6.8.21 Tried it with Outlook running and not running. Only seems to work if you sync with the main Outlook contacts folder. Have worked around the issue by moving all my contacts to a temp folder, syncing the phone with the main folder, and then moving the contacts around, but it's not very elegant... Any ideas? Stephen

I found out, that the problem what we have is our Public Folder Structure in the company. We have more as 40'000 public folders in this structure.
Now i find out that when i start my Outlook in a offline modus i can selct my special folder after i press the "Select Folder" button.
When i try the same thing in online modus the PC-Suite hangs...
The only combinations that i see is the Public Folder.
I try a test in the evening: I push the button "Select Folder" and have run my PC over the Night. On the next morning the Window was appear.
Also was is my problem the Public Folder Structure that the PC-Suite scans after i push the button "select Folder"

Problems syncing with multiple directories

I recently imported all of my CDs into my iPod. But I have run into a problem. When I create a directory of 3 or more levels of folders in my iTunes playlists, my iPod doesn't sync properly (i.e. playlists end up in the wrong folder or don't show up at all). Consequently, I've had to manually manage my iPod to get my iPod playlists in the right folder. If the directory has only 1 or 2 levels, the syncing seems to work fine. Is this a bug or is there something I'm missing?
Curt

This has now been solved. For some reason, my iPod thought these were smart playlists even though I only put regular playlists in these folders. To solve this, I manually deleted these folders from my iPod (after checking the manage music manually box on my iPod) and then re-synced with my iTunes list. The folders now contain the right playlists.

Sync with multiple iCloud accounts one on iMac

We have one iMac in the house, and have recently gotten 2 iPad's.
We want to be able to sync documents from the iPads to the iMac to work on, but want to have separate iPad accounts. Do we have to setup different user logons on the iMac, or can the iMac sync with two separate iClouds at once?

We do want to completely share music, is it possible to keep just one music account? And ideally we only want to pay for apps once, so would both like to be able to download whatever apps we wanted.
If i setup multiple accounts on the iMac, is it possible to share files between accounts without having to logout?

Can you use wifi sync with multiple libraries and multiple devices

Hi all
Does anyone know if you can use wifi sync with 1 computer, 2 libraries and 2 devices?
I have my wife's iPhone synced to 1 library and mine to another library but on the same computer. Will wifi sync work this way or do you need iTunes to be open to the correct library for it to work? As I know you can't have 2 instances of itunes open on the same computer.
Anyway thanks for any help

I have been looking more and more into this and it appears no.
You need to have iTunes running on the computer to enable it to wifi sync. You can use 2 devices on 1 library but if you don't have all the right options ticked you will then end up with each others stuff on each others device.
To enable wifi sync you need to have your iDevice connected to the same wifi network as your computer and iTunes open on that computer.
With my library open it detected my wife's phone and started to sync. Hasty push of cancel sync button lol.
There is a guide on here somewhere about multiple devices with 1 library which I can't find at the moment that tells you which options to tick so only your stuff stays on your device the the other half's on their device.
Its basically tick 'sync only ticked songs and videos' under summary of your device
Under apps take tick out of 'automatically sync new apps'
Then under edit->preferences click device and click prevent i's from syncing automatically
I think you should then be able to sync both devices to 1 library with mucking them up too much
Hopefully please correct me if I'm wrong
I have tried not doing the last step and asking it to open itunes automatically when phone is connected but this does not work with wifi sync
Have fun hopefully someone else can give us a better answer

Itunes On 2 Computers, One Computer will not Sync With Organized Folders

I am having a problem having my laptop Itunes software sync my itunes folders they way they are organized in Itunes. I see all the music is there in one folder. I go into Music>Artists>All Music in one long list. I've never seen this happen. This is after I try to get my laptop to now be the main file transfer. Right now it's the PC. It has nothing in the Playlist folder.
Does anyone know what the problem is or how I can get my Ipod to sync with my Itunes on my laptop.
Also when I went to my PC to transfer my purchases, which would have worked fine, it does nothing.
I'm lost.
Thanks for the help.

Just for the heck of it, I did a factory reset on the iPad again, and gave it another shot on the Win 7 64 machine at home. I uninstalled iTunes, restarted the computer, installed iTunes 9.1.1 64 bit for Windows, and achieved the exact same results: impossible to get iTunes to sync Google Contacts to the iPad. It goes through the motions, but never delivers any contacts to the iPad.

How do I manually sync with multiple computers

Hey All,
So I have a laptop with iTunes with some music and a desktop with iTunes and different music. Is there a way to be able to drag music from both onto my iPhone? I tried setting them both for manual (Which wipes my libraries, thanks Apple ) But it says I'm only allowed to sync with one computer even though I'm not syncing but trying to do it manually. Is this the result of stupid programmers or apple trying to limit music transfers??
Thanks,
Pete

Unlike iPods, iPhones can sync with only one authorized computer at a time. To sync with another computer, you have to deauthorize the one you usually use, and authorize the other. Both have to have your iTunes account.

Sync with multiple PC. How to cancel some?

After some issues with my PC, which had different versions, I synced my Iphone4 several time, and each time it was identifying a "new" computer (In fact the same)
Now I am told that my Iphone 4 is synced with 4 computers (out of a max of 5). My PC works now fine and the sync is OK
But how can I cancel all these "virtual" computers that I have no use?
Thank you in advance

You should be able to sync your 3GS to your computer and make a backup. Then connect your iPhone 4S and restore from a backup. This should effectively move all your data to your new device. Report back if you have any problems.
If you are wanting to move our data from a Windows machine to your Mac, just let us know.
