Syncing only titles and no content

I had trouble setting up my apple tv to begin with, was getting intermitten appearances of the apple TV in iTunes. However, I was able to get the movies to sync via ethernet. So I bought a TV show and tried to get the episodes to sync. In iTunes it spends about 30 seconds syncing, all of the titles appear in the apple TV menu, but when I go to play it goes dark for about aminute and then looks like it is trying to stream the content. I tried to hook the device up by ethernet again, but still nothing. I have also tried to sync photos, but it only gets the first photo, no others.
I have a netgear router and have moved it all over the house. The apple TV shows up in the device tab consistantly, I have done all the reinstalling you could think of (iTunes, reset the apple tv all sorts of stuff) and still can't get it to sync.
Any ideas?

I can sync via ethernet and I can view/stream content both from the main library as well as the internet. I don't have a firewall turned on, so it is not that. I have tried moving my wifi base station around, changed the freq it is on, restored factory settings, done the different installs. Last ditch is to try the apple airport base station, but I am on the verge of putting it back ino the box and returning it.

Can I sync -only- pictures and video content?

I have an iPad which I 'manually manage'at home. I'm at a friends house and want to put some pictures on it from his computer.
How can I do this without his iTunes messing up my iPad? All I want is to put some pictures on my iPad from his computer.
-Frankie

You cannot as far as I know.
Have your friend e-mail the pics or put them on cd or flash drive or dvd. You can put them on your computer and then sync them to your ipad.

Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

How do I sync my iPhone and its contents to my new MacBook Pro?

Hi all.
I've just bought my first MacBook Pro and I'm very happy with it.
I'm just trying to set up iTunes with my iPhone which I've had over a year.
The problem is that iTunes isn't detecting all of the apps currently on my iPhone; only the recent purchases/downloads I've made using the new MacBook Pro.
I assume this is something to do with the fact that my iPhone is probably still 'synced' with my old Dell which is now dead.
How do I make it so that my new MacBook Pro and iPhone talk to one another without losing all of my data/settings/layout etc of everything on my iPhone?
Thanks in advance!

By design, the iPhone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

Syncing only music and playlists

Why can't I just sync my playlist and music between my iMac and my iPad? It always wants me to sync my apps and everything. I would like to only allow iTunes to sync my music and playlists, bottom line. Can anyone suggest anything? Thank you!

iOS: Syncing with iTunes - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386 - You can sync everything or selected playlists. "WIth iTunes 10, when automatically syncing, you can also manually drag items to the iDevice. These will show up in Manually Added Songs at the bottom of the Music tab after Playlists, Artists Genre, Albums." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18919754

HT4059 Why won't the titles of books update on my iPad? I went through and changed a lot of then, but when synced the titles and authors are the same.

I updated over 100 book titles and authors and when synced, everything is the same as it was before on my iPad. When it's connected to the computer the changed names are there.

Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.

How do I sync ONLY reminders and calendar?

Is it possible to sync only contacts and calendars to iPhone when syncing wirelessly?

I love wireless syncing between iPhone and iTunes, but I would prefer it if it only synced contacts and calendars and left the video and audio sync to happen when the iPhone was connected via a cable, as syncing all of my media files takes forever. Is it possible to set my iPhone or iTunes up to work this way?

Thanks, modular747. Sure, but isn't there only one "sync" button that will then sync everything, and isn't iTunes the only place to control what is synced?
I suppose one way to fix this would be to sync my calendars and contacts using iCloud. This would also mean that my iPad was kept in sync more regularly. But I use Google Calendar as a Calendar app and sync this to iCal via BusySync, and am yet to find a way that I can get this (and my Google contacts, which sync with my Address Book) to play nicely.
If there's some way I can use iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts between Mac, iPhone and iPad, while maintain the synchronisation I've currently got running between iCal, Address Book and Google, I'd love to hear it

How can I sync only Calendars and Contacts on my work PC

Previous versions of the iCloud control panel allowed me to select separately which items I wanted to sync with a PC, Calendars, Contact, Email.
The new version of the control panel has this bundled as a single choice.
How can I eliminate incuding mail?
I am trying to use this on a work PC to keep calendars and contacts in sync, but cannot include iCould email. If I cannot eliminate just the email will need to remove all syncing (defeating the purpose of the cloud).

You might wait until the next Mavericks to see if iTunes syncing for contacts and calendars is restored. Otherwise, you can either install OS X server to restore local syncing (see https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id714547929), or start syncing your calendars and contacts with another service such as Google/Gmail.

I cannot find a document which I think I asked to save to icloud when I didn't have wifi so now only have .folder title and no content (pages document). How do I retrieve content?

Back in September, I typed over a document, duplicated it and renamed duplicate. I think I then clicked save when prompted to save to icloud. At this time I wasn't connected to the internet. Now I cannot find the document but have found a .folder with the same name as the document I created but this folder is empty. Is there any way of retrieving the content of that original document created in Pages?

I really don't understand.
The menu item is available :
Maybe, you didn't activate the tool :

Syncing different libraries and tailoring content for iOS devices.

Hi guys, got a couple of iTunes and iOS Questions.
First a little background info:
I have:
- A 16gb iPhone 4s
- A 32gb iPod Touch (Probably 1st gen. I got it 2nd hand).
I am considering:
- a 16gb or 32gb iPad (Wifi only)
I used to be a PC user, but have recently switched to Mac.
- My PC Library contains all the music and Apps I had up until that change. (This is before I worked out how to use iCloud.)
- My Mac Library contains all the same music, plus everything I’ve acquired since. But NOT the playlists. For some reason when I copied my music to my Mac, those did not transfer.
- My iPhone is now synced to my Mac Library. (Which is the better library, but it lacks the old cool playlists I lovingly made).
- My iPod is synced to my PC library, so it’s missing music, but has those old playlists.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to transfer those old playlists to my new library, and sync them with my iPhone? (Most files should still be present, although the file locations may now vary.)
I want to resync my iPod Touch with my Mac Library, but keep the awesome playlists I have made (Till now, I’ve been reluctant to do this, because my iPod is hooked up to my stereo, and I didn’t want to have to make entire new playlists.)
Is there a way to bring my PC library up to speed and sync it? (It’s actually a different library, with similar files). I’d actually like to (if possible) delete that whole library and start again so it matches my Mac, and keep it all up to date with iCloud. The only thing I want to save are those old playlists.
My girlfriend has almost the same library as me (The PC Version) on her PC, - Plus a few extras I don’t have (Or want. J ). But between us, with home sharing, we have everything. Can we share playlists…
- On iTunes in the Home
- On iOS devices (I understand some songs may be missing)
Also:
- By the time I put apps on, and leave some space free for photos etc, My iTunes Library is way too big for my 16gb iPhone 4s, so I have manually unchecked a lot of my less listened to music.
- My 32gb iPod is a great size for me, for storing music and the odd video. I rarely use apps on it now that I have an iPhone.
- If I do get an iPad, it would basically be for apps. I’d want a bare minimum of my favorite music on it, just to get me through. It would however contain lots of photos, and some video. In this way, I think a 16gb model would be plenty.
Is there a way to set up iTunes and my IOS devices so that they sync to the same library, but with content tailored for each device?
Also, with a setup like that, if a Playlist is missing a few songs because the source file isn’t on that device, will it still play the other songs?
Thanks SO much.

- My PC Library contains all the music and Apps I had up until that change. (This is before I worked out how to use iCloud.)
How did you work this out with iCloud? It has little to do with iTunes.
1 - playlists. On the old computer, open iTunes. File > Library > Export playlist.
This will export a file. Copy this file to the new computer then File > Library > Import playlist. It will duplicate playlists (not files) if they are present in both libraries but you can simply delete the playlist you don't want.
2 - Doing 1 above will add the playlists to the Mac.
3 - To get the playlist from the Mac to the PC, do as 1 above but in reverse.
Or if you want it an exact duplicate...
Delete /Music/iTunes/ folder on the PC.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on the Mac to /Music/ on the PC.
This is all you need to do.
and keep it all up to date with iCloud
Do you mean iTunes Match ($24.99 a year)?

With 2 devices, how do I sync only part of the library on one device? That is, sync only music and not the podcasts.

Trying to sync part of a library on one device and all of the library on another. Not finding any options to select only parts of a library to be sync'ed. Any help appreciated.

In ipod menu in iTunes, tick the "manually manage music and videos" then select the items that you want to sync. Cheers!

Have your friend e-mail the pics or put them on cd or flash drive or dvd. You can put them on your computer and then sync them to your ipad.
