    iPad sync problem - HELP!  I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)"  and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad.  This just started today.  I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help.  Any ideas??? 
    I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it...  should I?

  • New syncing problem - HELP!

    Suddenly, I cannot sync my nano. Didn't have a problem before. Have turned firewall off and back on. iTunes works fine until I plug in to sync, and then it crashes. Message: "iTunes has stopped working" immediately appears when I try to sync. Very aggravating. BTW - have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Am using HP laptop using Vista Home. Thanks for any help.

    BTW - have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes.
    Let's doublecheck that. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
    Does it say 10.1.0.54 ? If so, we need to update you to 10.1.0.56 .
    10.1.0.56 won't appear for you in Apple Software Update for Windows if you already have 10.1.0.54 installed. So you'll need to get the installer from the Apple website as per the following document:
    [iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

  • Hotmail sync problems - HELP! (Nokia N8 - Anna )

    I deleted my account without wanting to, and now i want it back - before I could sync all my folders in the hotmail account, but when i'm trying to make a new account it only syncs the inbox/sent maps? The other maps doesn't even appear on the screen when I go to maps.

  • Audio Going out of sync problem, Help Please

    Hey all.
    So I have just filmed about 3 hours worth of gaming videos using XSplit recorder,
    in a mp4 format, and when I played it back using VLC it all seemed fine.
    However I went to import it into premiere to start editing it I noticed the sound was completly out.
    I have recorded some audio and video times listed below to show the sync times and how they are out.
    Video          Audio
    00:41:24  -  00:44:09
    47:46:25  -  50:11:12
    As you can see it gets worse over time.
    I could manualy do a time shift on the audio to align it but thats a lot of work as I have multiple clips to edit and would like a proper fix for it
    I did some quick research and found one fix was to make the sequence settings the same as the video file, but that didnt work for me.
    also trying to conform the video file also didnt help me out.
    Anyone have any other ideas?
    Thanks In Advance
    Thomas

    >gaming videos using XSplit recorder
    That is a new one to me, but other messages concering screen capture software discusses LOTS of editing problems
    Some examples... (may or may not help, but at least some ideas based on other problems)
    These are for Premiere Elements, but may help with PPro

  • IPod/iPhoto syncing problem HELP!!

    I am writing this in desperation. I tried to sync my 30GB iPhoto library onto my iPod video. iTunes started filling up my hard drive. I had 8GB of free space on my hard drive, and now I have nothing. However 25GB of my iPhoto stuff made it to the iPod. I am wondering - does syncing iPhoto with iPod make iTunes double up the iPhoto? Does it place the entire library in the iTunes folder?
    If I freed up more space, and the syncing completed, would the hard drive get back to its original state?` Is iTunes just occupying the space for syncing reasons?
    Please help!! Thanks so much!!!

    I am also having this problem with an 80G iPod. Anyone out there with a suggestion?

  • Itunes update install - new problem - help before I jump out a window :)

    Okay, so I should have learned the first 2 times I had this problem when trying to update to the newest version of itunes, but I decided to upgrade to 6.0.5 and when I did, everything installs hunky dory, and itunes starts to open, shows me the TOCs and asks me to agree or decline. When I hit agree, the window closes and NOTHING happens. I then am unable to open internet explorer, or mozilla, or any browser window, and can't kill the process for either itunes or quicktime....I end up having to manually shut off my system. So I've tried uninstalling and completely cleaning out the reg...tried installing standalone QT (which is what worked for me in the past), and get this...I even tried going back to 6.0.4 (still had an install of it on my jump drive) and....IT STILL DOESN'T WORK (only with 6.0.4. it doesn't ask me to agree to the TOCs and just does nothing without that step involved).
    SERIOUSLY!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I TOSS MY MACHINE OUT OF THE WINDOW OR INTO THE POOL!!!
    PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSE (I'm close to losing it (not really, but still))

    Wow...I can't believe I'm saying it...but I think I'm giving up....
    so after exhausting every possible option, I decided to hunt for a good registry cleaner (which I found, which was the one silver lining in this dark cloud of an experience - this cleaner being regvac)
    so I cleaned up a bunch of poop, and itunes, quicktime, ipod related poop just hanging out in the registry, uninstalled some other programms that I decided that I either installed or re-installed since the last working install of itunes.....still the same **** thing
    I think decided to remove all and go back to square one and try 6.0.4...same thing, only no TOS that I have to agree to after it tries to load
    then I try 6.0.3 (this one has a TOS, but does the same **** thing), then 6.0.2, then one more version after that
    NO LUCK!!!
    so then I say screw it and decide to go for 6.0.5 one more time, with a standalone QT install to go with it
    which I do...and I start to think that the TOS won't even load, as it took a second, as it's loading, I'm watching it's process, and I see it rise from 10k slowly up to 22k (which is usually where it hovers at with my problem I've been having)...well it then rises to 38K!!!!!
    hmmmmm.....I've decided there's just a ghost in my machine that I can't exercise or send back to his/her peaceful rest (the ghost in the machine)
    I mean I uninstalled norton, uninstalled nero, uninstalled limewire (again, wasn't used to pirate music), uninstalled some other stuff I can't remember...get this...I even disconnected from my wireless router (netgear with build in firewall and running WPA (I thought that HAD to have something to do with it) and plugged straight in to the cable modem......and guess what??? still no luck
    unless a guardian angel comes to rescue me, I'm afraid I'm reduced to only running itunes from my laptop sigh (at least it works there) and then I'll have to use my desky as a file server for my music (my laptop HD isn't big enough to tackle my music library)
    oh alas....a week or 2 of troubleshooting and stressing...wasted.....
    the least apple could do for my troubles is send me a free ipod to add to my collection :P

  • Shared Photostream Sync Problems - HELP!

    Hi - I have an iphone 4 with ios6.
    I have set up several shared photostreams and added photos to these and invited subscribers.All that seemed fine, but here's the problems I've experienced and would be interested to know if this is a common/known issue:
    1) On one photostream, I have added 187 photos and on the device I added the photos from, I can see all 187 photos. However subscribers can only see 99 of the photos. I looked on my iPad, and I too can only see 99 photos on that device. So...... I deleted the photos and re-added. This time I can see the 187 photos on the source device, and subscribers can only see 129! Is there a known issue with syncing of photos through to a shared photostream.
    2) On a second photostream, I added 35 photos. Subscribers could see all photos, as could I on all devices. One hour later, the photostream is empty on my source device and for all subscribers.
    3) A friend added me as a subscriber to a photostream of his. I cannot see of the photos despite other subscribers seeing them.
    4) Lastly, I deleted one shared stream and started again, but yet again, subscribers can only see a portion of what I have added.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    okay, i went to take a band off my itouch, when you do that you click the box where the check is and it will disappear that way when you sync it will take that particular artist off your itouch. but when i do that it still stays on my itouch.
    That will only remove the song(s) if you have the *Sync all checked songs and videos* option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.

  • TV Sync Problem Help Please

    Ok So I downloaded a TV Show yesterday and after I downloaded it and it synced and worked fine. Then today I plugged it in and it just automatically took the video off. I have sync only checked songs and videos selected and I have 3 videos in my TV Shows list. My iPod contains one video on it, but I have the video thats on it, and the one I just recently downloaded both checked and another one not checked that is not on there. I have checked the other one and synced it and it went on there fine but for some reason I cant get the most recent video I got to sync on to my iPod, what's the problem its veeeeery frustrating. Thanks in advance. Also I just went through and removed, and re added the other tv shows I have by clicking the check mark and hitting sync, but for some reason my newest tv show will still not work.
    Message was edited by: goreemanger

    You may have set your iPod to sync only unwatched episodes.
    Connect your iPod, then when the summary screen appears click on the TV shows tab.
    Change the preference to what suits you best.

  • 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
    -Chris
