Syncing using the new online itunes function ?

Hi I watched the keynote and saw where it is now possible to download a song from the cloud that you have previously purchased. I tried this for myself and was able to pull a song from my library that was not on my phone which is really great. My question is can I reverse it, can I delete a song from my phone now or send it back to the cloud or whatever. For example the song I pulled out of my previously purchased library was a christmas song I do not need to take up space with on my phone with christmas songs in June. Is there a way now to unsync that song from my iphone without having to plug it back into my computer. ??

Anyone ? no ideas on the actual music management of my iphone ? so we can pull songs from the cloud but we cant get them off our phone once we do ?

I share a macbook with my other half and we both use it for our iphones. When syncing using the new software I now have all of her and my contacts on my phone. I don't want her contacts! How do I get rid?

Hi,
You have 2 solutions:
1 - You can use 2 differents icloud account
2 - You use the same account but you don't sync yours contacts.
You configure that in Settings > icloud
You activate or desactivate what you want.
Have a nice day.

I found a track yesterday using the new siri-shazam function. Now, how do I see tracks I've found ?

I've used the new siri-shazam function to look for a track yesterday. Now how do I find it ?

You need the Kernel source and the ALSA source packages installed for ubuntu for the build to work right.
It looks like the installer is having an issue trying to extract the package. You need to make sure you are root and when you switch to root, type "su - " without the quotes so that you get the environment of the root user as well which will have the correct paths for the /sbin and etc.
After you extract everything and the setup completes, dont' worry because it won't work.
Please god send us another Audio card from another company that cares.

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection?

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

I have recently copied my iTunes to a new computer using the instructions from Apple site, via an external drive. My iPod will not sync on the new computer. The option to sync automatically is greyed out and it won't let me set it. How do I resolve?

I have recently installed iTunes on a new Windows 8 laptop and copied from my old XP system using an external drive. This all went ok. The problem is that i can't get my iPod classic to sync on the new laptop. I did a factory reset and re-install. It still won't sync. When I hit the 'sync' icon it does nothing. In the Options screen the option to automatically sync is greyed out and doesn't allow me to enter anything in the box. How can i resolve this?

You need iTunes on the computer. There is no iTunes for your phone. See:

How do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?

how do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?

Same way you did with the previous versions of iTunes.
To view the iPod in iTunes, Ctrl S to show the sidebar.
Create a playlist, add songs and sync that playlist.
Or drag songs to the iPod in iTunes.

I had to return my first Ipad2, and now the new won't connect to itunes. I verified I had the latest itunes, used the new cable and verified the port worked by syncing with my ipod, I reloaded 10.2.2 and restarted my PC. Still won't work - thoughts?

Sorry - found a couple of good threads right after posting.

If I use the new sync-function, I keep losing my bookmarks or at least some of them during syncronisation. Is the new sync just as bad as the old one?

Just like with the old version of Firefox Sync I keep losing at least parts of my bookmarks when I'm using the new Sync version.
Anytime I change any of my bookmarks on one of my computers, I not only miss the change on other computers, but I also loose parts of the original bookmarks as well.
To me it seems that the new Sync is no better than the old one?

When you switched over to the new account, when you set it up the profile was blank and the name was: "uglings Firefox auf home1-ugling". Then on another login for the same computer, the name on the account was the same, so you changed the name.
So when you added bookmarks on the newly named computer account (the restricted account), all of the bookmark folders disappeared.
Summary for clarification, sorry for the repetitiveness.
STR:
# unlink account from old sync
# create new windows account on same computer
# on new account create sync account that has a blank profile and wait to sync. name is CILBMHVM6DT
# go to the previous windows account and add the new sync account to the old profile. (i did get a warning that there was an older account that was signed into, but I hit sync anyway) name was WIN-CILBMHVM6DT
# Wait for it to sync.
# rename the computer name associated with sync on old profile because it has the same name.(renamed old one to WIN-2)
# Add bookmarks to new windows account
# Go back to old windows account and see the new folder, but some previous folders are missing and bookmarks are out of their original folder.
Expected:
Merged folders to remain same file structure
Results:
Some bookmarks are not in folders that no longer appear in the bookmarks toolbar folder.
2 accounts on the same computer connected to the same Firefox Sync account had the same name and deleted some bookmark folders.
I filed a bug on this:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046954]
However in the meantime we can only recreated the folders that are missing on the accounts that you have set up. If this happens again, I will ask if it has to do with the unique identifier of each device attached to an account (I am assuming that its just the name that we renamed) But please also continue the discussion for this in the bug.
Thank you!

Itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps crashing when syncing with the new Ipad

Glad to find this forum!
It's been a disappointing and frustrating week for me as I have tried to sync my new ipad with itunes 10.6.1.7. Itunes keeps crashing without reasons when syncing either apps, music or videos. Btw, I am using Windows XP SP3.
So far, I have not been able to play any videos because Itunes always crashes.
I have tried to re-install Itunes for more than 5 times [with fresh install] but the problem still occurs. I have also tried to downgrade to Itunes 10.5.3 as suggested in the other threads but Itunes still crashes. This only happens when syncing with the new Ipad.
I have an Ipod Nano which works great on both version of Itunes.
I am really disappointed because I can't watch movies and/or listen to music on my new ipad because it keeps crashing.
My wish is just simple. I just want to be able to watch movies and listen to my music on my new ipad. Sadly, this is not possible yet.
Can anyone help?

I get the exactly the same problem with win 7, i rang apple support who suggested i try another machine/or create another account on my machine???? why should i, stupid ipad 3rd gen is now sitting here un syncable, apple support ....tut tut very poor support, its a shame im out of the 7 day period otherwise this ipad would be going straight back, older versions of itunes worked fine, some one must know a fix for this??

I have always synced my Iphone 4 to a previous laptop but now want to use a new (already iTunes authorised) computer. I don't mind losing music but want to know if I will lose data such as photos or texts? Thanks,

Hi,
I have an iphone 4, using IOS 5.0.1 and have always synced it to my laptop (windows vista, 32 bit). I have recently bought a new desktop computer (Windows 7, 64 bit) and after putting it off for a while, i've decided to bite the bullet and sync my iphone with my new computer. I have already authorised my itunes account on my new computer, and i don't mind loosing music. I am more concered though about the risk of loosing my text messages and photos on my phone.
Could anyone please tell me if i will loose the messages and photos from my phone when syncing to a new computer.
Thanks alot,
Chris.

When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer, a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

Can't able to syn own videos iPhone using the new version of iTunes 12.0.1

Can't able to syn own videos to iPhone using the new version of iTunes 12.0.1

Hi Hamedkhan,
Happy New Year! The resources below will show you how to sync your home videos to your iPhone using iTunes 12 for Windows:
iTunes 12 for Windows: Syncing overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH20342?viewlocale=en_US
Do I have to sync?
If you have iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle: You have to sync your device with iTunes. There’s no other way to add content to it.
If you have an iOS device (iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad): You only need to sync your device with iTunes if you want to:
Add your iTunes playlists to your device (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)
Add your own videos to your device
Add photos, contacts, and calendars to your device (if you don’t use iCloud)
Remove previously synced items from your device
If you prefer not to sync, you don’t have to: you can download items from the iTunes Store directly to your device, and—if you have a free iCloud account—use iCloud to make sure items like your photos, contact, and calendars are on both your computer and device.
iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH20343?viewlocale=en_US
iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
To add items on your computer to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, you sync them using iTunes. You can have iTunes sync items automatically (which is the quickest option), or drag items to your device manually (which gives you more control)—or you can do both. You can also remove items from your device automatically or manually.
For more information about syncing, see Syncing overview.
Select items to sync automatically
Connect your device to your computer and click the device button near the top left of the iTunes window.
Select the type of content you want to sync (for example, Music or Apps) in the sidebar on the left.
Select the Sync checkbox, then select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each type of content you want to include on your device.
The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.
By default, iTunes syncs your device whenever you connect it to your computer. If you want to have iTunes ask you before syncing, do one of the following:
Require a prompt before syncing this device: Click Summary, then deselect “Open iTunes when this [device] is connected.”
Require a prompt before syncing all devices: Choose Edit > Preferences, click Devices, and select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”
When you’re ready to sync, click Apply.
Tip:    To automatically sync a connected device at any time, choose File > Devices > Sync [device name].
WARNING:    If you delete an automatically synced item from your iTunes library, the deleted item is removed from your device the next time you sync.
Add items to your device manually
You can manually add music, movies, TV shows, apps, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons to your device. You can’t manually add photos, books, contacts, or other info.
Make sure your device is connected.
From anywhere in your iTunes library, begin dragging the items you want to add.
A pane with a list of connected devices appears on the left.
Drag the items to your device in the list until a blue border appears.
The items are added to your device.
Keep items from being automatically synced
If there are some items you never want synced (for example, if they’re too big to fit on your device), you can keep them from being synced.
You can also turn off automatic syncing for music, movies, and TV shows. You must do this if you want to sync iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle with more than one iTunes library, or automatically fill your device with songs using Autofill (see the next task, below).
Connect your device to your computer.
Click the device button, then click Summary.
Do any of the following:
Keep individual items from being synced: Select “Sync only checked [items].” Then, deselect the checkbox next to any items in your iTunes library that you don’t want synced.
Turn off automatic syncing for music, movies, and TV shows: Select “Manually manage music and videos.”
Click Apply.
Fill your device with a random selection of songs using Autofill
If you don’t want to always hear the same music on your device, you can have iTunes fill it with a random selection of songs by using Autofill.
To use Autofill, you must turn off automatic syncing for music and videos (see instructions above).
Connect your device to your computer and click the device button near the top left of the iTunes window.
Click On My Device.
Select Music in the sidebar on the left.
Choose which songs you want to sync from the Autofill pop-up menu at the bottom of the Music pane.
To adjust Autofill settings, click Settings.
When you’re done, click OK.
Click Autofill, then click Sync.
Each time you use Autofill, iTunes adds different songs to your device.
Remove items from your device
Make sure your device is connected, then do one of the following:
Remove an item that was synced automatically: Do any of the following, then sync your device:
Deselect the checkbox for the item in your iTunes library, and select “Sync only checked [items]” in the Summary pane.
If the item was added because it’s part of a synced playlist, remove the item from the playlist.
Change your sync settings to keep the item from being synced.
Remove an item that was added manually or using Autofill: Click On My Device, select an item (or items), press the Delete key, and click Delete.
The types of content you can sync depends on your device. For more information, see the documentation for your device.
You can sync multiple devices with your iTunes library, and use different settings for each device.
Important:    Before disconnecting iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle from your computer, click the Eject button .
Sync and organize iOS apps
Add photos to iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Hello SandyGF
I would check out the following article that will bring back the sidebar that will make iTunes a little more familiar and get you back on track with syncing your iPod Shuffle.

HT1711 How do I update new versions of Apps using the new iTunes?

Good day all. I am having problems downloading updated versions of some Apps using the new iTunes. How do I update new versions of Apps using the new iTunes?

You can go back to the old view with the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (if you are on windows then alt-v should show the View drop-down menu) - which is what I'm currently doing as I'm familiar with that way.
Or, on the new view you can click on the library type at the top left and select Apps and then Check For Updates at the bottom right of the screen. When you've downloaded the updates to your computer, click on Library top right to go back to your library view from the store, then select the iPad (top right) and Sync at the bottom right should then copy the updates to your iPad.
