Syncing and un-syncing

Hi,
I know that this is probably the simplest of problems but im quite new to ipods and all that.
I want to remove all the tunes and video from my PC to free up a lot of space but i want to leave them on my ipod. what do i need to do so that they dont disappear from my ipod the next time i connect to my PC? I have seen people on here saying that they have "clicked on Sync" but where do I find this option
hope someone can help this novice
Thanks

you need to select the manually manage ipod option ( this is to remove all the music, videos off your pc). go to the summary page of your ipod. and tick the option manually manage ipod there. the link below explains alot about manually managing your ipod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
and to get the sync option right click on your ipod and select sync
hope that helps

I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

As the article you attached says, "Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off syncing."
In other words, once you click on the device in iTunes on your computer (with the iPhone attached), you then click "Photos" near the top and uncheck the "sync photos" box.
Then you sync your device by clicking something in the lower right (it probably says "Apply", but it might say "Sync").

Repetitive Sync and Background Sync

Hi Experts,
Can any body tell me what are the Repetitive Sync and Background Sync and the procedure how they will work?
Thanks in Advance
Naveen

Hi Uwe,
well, while device syncs the user can continue to work.... performance is not that worse - and the functionality is available for JSP as well.
BUT!
Have in mind that you do not lock entries while you display them on the screen. This is not supported in MI and so it can happen that you select a dataset to change it on the screen and while you change this entry the device syncs and in the sync this entry gets changed or deleted from the device.... if you now want to persist this item this will run into an error..... Well, background sync needs carefull handling... but yes, it is possible!
Hope it helps!
Regrds,

Question about syncing and un-syncing

i accidentally synced all my pictures to my ipod and i only want a couple. how do i delete the pictures i dont want on there? I used to have a zune so i am way new to this stuff. thanks in advance

Remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synchronize photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," remove or delete them from My Pictures and sync your iPod.
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading and managing photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod

MfE stopped auto-syncing and get sync error

I purchased an E71 about a month ago and have been using MfE with our 2003 Exchange server. Things have been going great until recent. i keep it sync'd at all times and the 'lightning bolt' symbol was always next to the MfE inbox. As of yesterday, it lost it. I can, however, sync manually. BUT, when i'm in the settings for MfE, i notice under the "Current Status" as it syncs, it will stop and say "Connect Failed. Waiting to Retry." It has said "Connected" but will eventually fail and go back to the other message of failed.
Any tips or advice on why all of the sudden this happened? Thanks very much for helping!
Paymon

Hi, I have the exact same problem since I bought my device. I can pull email but it doesn't sync automatically and push and always says "connect failed. waiting to retry under MFE." Have you received any responses to your message or fixed your problem?

Difference between "sync" and "full sync" system replication?

I try to understand the difference of new "full sync" replication mode in SPS08. Do I understand it correctly that in case of "full sync" if connection to secondary system is not available, all transactions on primary side are blocked forever? While in case if simple "sync" transactions resume after defined timeout and replication state goes in Error? If yes, is it logshipping_timeout? Where this timeout is defined?
Thank you!

Mix Sync and Non-Synced

I have looked and looked, and I cannot find a way to have my music automatically synced to my iPod while manually copying videos.
The main reason for this is that the videos take up way too much space on my hard drive and I'd prefer them on my iPod.
If this is not possible, it would be a GREAT feature to implement in the future.

ok, here's a solution for anyone that's interested:
. create your own lightweight scrollpane class, directly extending java.awt.Container.
. create your own lightweight canvas classm directly extending java.awt.Component.
add the MyCanvas to the MyScrollpane and override the paint method of MyScrollPane to do something like this: (where offscreen is a member variable of type java.awt.Image)
public void paint(Graphics g) {
    if(offscreen == null) {
        offscreen = createImage(getSize().width, getSize().height);
    Graphics og = offscreen.getGraphics();
    og.setClip(0,0,getSize().width, getSize().height);
    //make sure lightweight children of the scrollpane are rendered
    super.paint(og);
    //now draw any overlayed detail over the top
    paintDetail(og);
    g.drawImage(offscreen, 0, 0, null);
    og.dispose();
}took a bit of hunting around to find out how to do it. what i was doing wrong was trying to paint over a heavyweight component (i.e. a java.awt.Canvas), which you can't do, apparently. here's a useful link that I used:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/awt/designspec/lightweights.html

I keep trying to sync things among my MacBook Pro, iPAD, and iPhone. Usually this works fine for a few days, but then I notice that the calendars aren't syncing and the "notes" aren't syncing. How can I get them all to stay in sync?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2.
I have an iPad 2 running 8.1.3
I have an iPhone 6 Plus running 8.1.1
I have my Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes set up to sync over iCloud among the three devices.
I haven't had a problem with the Mail or Contacts syncing (at least not as far as I know), but the Notes and the Calendars don't seem to stay sync'd up. I will notice that they aren't sync'ing, will delete and re-sync and they are fine for a while, but inevitably they stop sync'ing at some point. This has been true through earlier incarnations of operating systems, so not something new.
How can I get them to sync and stay sync'd?

There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?
This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

With you phone connected to your computer and itunes open select your phone from the list on the left then click on summary tab, scroll down to OPTIONS and check the box beside Sync with this phone over wifi. Now you will not need to connec the phone with a cable. On your phone in settings/general tap on itunes wifi sync and then sync now. Your phone needs to b epluged in to power and have wifi available

Can someone explain 'Sync' and how it sends mail

I've lost a lot of emails
Heres the scenario. Between the hours of 9pm and 4pm (work days) I disable Sync and Email Sync. So lets start with MSN (others)
Its 9pm, I launch MSN (others) email application, I hit refresh one last time, then I go into settings, account settings etc etc and uncheck the box that says 'Sync Email'
Next since I have a google account I also go into settings and uncheck the box that says 'sync email'
Then so I can get the full battery life possible I pull down my notification menu and select all and uncheck the radio button that says 'Sync'...and that lasts from 9pm as I sleep...and my work shift is like 7am to 4pm (ish) and then I will re enable it all.
Now lets say at 10am I'm going thru twitter and theres an article thats a long one and I want to read it when I get off work....I hold down the tweet and see an option that says "Share", I select Gmail because I prefer reading it off of MSN (my choice!) anyways, I can go thru and select a lot of stuff and share it, by sending an email.
Now heres the thing....I know if I were to launch my MSN Mail at 10:05am I wont get it, duh! because I have Sync off right? So once I enable each of the emails' Sync Option and enabling the Device' Sync option....I then will receive the email or emails...which I do...every single time and by everytime I mean 10 emails sent by me, per day (ish) every day for over a month.
Now....heres my problem
I was viewing web pages...I chose Share....I chose send via MSN to GMail (odd I know)...but prior to enabling Sync I actually performed a Factory Reset on Device/Phone...so it was like a brand new phone...
However once I enabled Sync and refreshed a few times I havent received the emails nor am I finding it in the "drafts or sent folders"
So I ask....what is the proper steps my phone is taking that somehow sends these "ghost emails"
Heres my theory: I mean lets say I view a webpage; all sync's are disabled; I choose 'Share to this email address'...does my phone create a file on Devices Memory and its called "sendemail1togmail.mail" and if I choose to share another webpage it creates another file called "sendemail2togmail.mail" meanwhile those are temp files...kinda like temporary files when you are downloading a file off a webpage. (aka Partial)....then when you enable Sync on all of them...it searches for any .mail files off the device and thus sends it appropriately??????
If so; great where do the files get saved to? Because next time I'm either keeping sync on or I'll just copy the files to my SD card then I'll copy it back again
Because either way...I dont have the emails I sent
Thanks

sync doesn't send emails, only synchronizes between pc & phone.
yours is the goofiest way of syncing i've heard of.
i sync 4 email acc'ts, 2 are pop3, yahoo & gmail & they all work as you'd expect.

Firefox Sync Reset, not syncing and deleting all addons from every device

I started to notice that some of my addons were being uninstalled randomly so I decided to unlink my three devices, make sure one was a master, set up sync and then sync the other devices. However, something happened and now my quota for addons is 6.0 KB, that doesn't seem like much for addons and when I sync on any other device, replacing the data on that computer with the sync data, all addons get unistalled. I tried changing the recovery key, deleted the account and created a new account with the same email address. I am at a loss. Ideas?

I tried the suggestions at the links above but they did not work. Every time I sync, all addons are uninstalled. I have to back and undo the uninstall on all of them to keep them.

Mountain Lion calendar and notes sync problems with exchange server via WLAN

After upgrading to Mountain Lion calendar and notes do not sync anymore with my exchange server via WLAN. There are no syncing problems via ethernet if WLAN is deactivated. Mail works fine with both connection types. Similar problems known? Solutions?
Thanks for any ideas.

Exact same issue ... cropped up in the past 2 weeks. Constantly syncing and re syncing. Watching calendar events show up and disappear. Tried all the normal stuff including deleting and re setting up the entire acct ... no luck. It built out the whole calendar correctly ( from what I could tell) and then started to sync again and appointments randomly appeared and disappeared .....

Iphone sync and 300 lost address book contacts

Help. I'm sick about this. Everything has been going fine with my iphone until tonight. After I synced tonight, all 300 of my address book contacts disappeared on my phone AND on my computer. Even my backup hard drive doesn't show any contact information, only an address book icon which has no information when opened. Apple iphone tech support was unable to help me. Please I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight because of this. Can anyone out there help me get my contact information back?
Thank you.
Alden Burlington

Joel,
The Backup application they are referring to is the Backup application that comes with .Mac.
It does incremental backups. It doesn't replace the previous days backup. You can go to your backup location, and choose the day you want to restore from.
There is even a preconfigured plan for personal data and settings daily to iDisk that backs up iCal, Address Book, etc.
I would also recomend going into iSync's preferences and setting it to prompt you if more than 5% of your contacts or data will be changed. This is the default for iSync, but can be changed to not warn, or only warn when 25%, 50%, etc will be changed. If it is on the default you will get a message if information will be lost.
Also in some situations, reseting sync history before another sync, and then syncing again, may bring back some of the contacts.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
