Syncing Video wipes out music? Why??

I synced my video to add one TV show to my iphone and got a pop-up warning that syncing would delete all my songs and other video from my iphone.
I could not believe that was accurate so I went ahead with the sync.
Sure enough, all my music is gone and I am now syncing that all over again.
Any idea why this is?
Will I have to re-sync all music every time I add a video?

I don't get it.
Are you saying that I HAVE to sync in order to keep what is already on the iphone?
Meaning, if I have itunes set to manually sync, why won't it let me manually sync?!
I have all the music I want on the iphone, now I want to add ONLY one video.
How to do so, without wiping the iphone of everything else?
This makes no sense.
I assumed that if I am manually syncing, then it will ADD whatever new I am checking off and then hitting APPLY. Why would it bother with the other categories at all?
So basically, there is no legitimate manual sync.
I have to sync all or nothing... EVERY time I add something.
Is that right?
Super weird.

WARNING!! Instaling itunes 7.0.2 from 7.0.1 and Sync'ing wipes out iPod

Enough said. **** all 10,000 or so tracks wiped. ARGGGGH!!!

Hi
I had exactly the same problem caused by iTunes 7 and the new version of Ipod software. Best thing to do is to re-install the old version of Ipod software (1.1.2) via the iPod Updater 2006-06-28. You can download that at:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060628forwindows.html
You'll need to first uninstall iTunes 7, install the Updater, restore the iPod using the sofware you just downloaded, then finally reinstall iTunes (v6 if you don't want the same problems all over again
Good luck

Initial sync of Books will wipe out all music???

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3, and I'm running the most recent version of iTunes.
In iTunes on the Summary page for my phone, I have "Manually manage music and videos" selected. I have loaded up my iPhone with about 10 gig of music, which took a lot of time to select, drag and drop over onto the phone in iTunes, etc.
Now I have a PDF that I want to add to my iPhone by adding it to the Books tab, checking 'Sync Books', and moving it onto the phone. The problem is that when I check 'Sync Books' it warns me that "Are you sure you want to sync Books? All existing songs, movies, and TV shows on the iPhone will be removed".
I certainly don't want to have my music deleted because then I'll have to re-install it all.
Even though I have "Manually manage my music selected", why is this Book Sync option still trying to delete it?
Is there another way to get a PDF onto the iPhone without syncing it?
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks,
John

I manually manage my music because I have about 60 gig of music in iTunes, and only around 10 gig of space on my iPhone. So I just dragged my most important music onto the iPhone because I don't want to sync all of the music that I have in iTunes. It won't even fit....
So, now that I've been manually managing my music, what you're saying is that if I turn on the option to sync books it will wipe out my music and I'll have to do it all again? Obviously you're correct from what I'm seeing with that warning messgage, but that seems absurd to me. I don't understand why the two settings are not independent of each other.......
So...........There's no way around this?

HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1. I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer. I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet! How can I do

Apparently I wasn't clear. The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives. I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists. How can I do this?

Why did the new update for itunes wipe out my music library?

Very vague question.
It should not.
There is no way to know with the vague question you asked and no information at all.

HT1420 I had to wipe out my pc and start again i found all my music, but when i try to sync my ipod it's telling me I need to authorize the music I have of my sisters, I've tried deauthorize all, that didn't work, what do I need to do?

I had to wipe out my PC and start again from scratch, found all my music and uplaoded that to my Itunes but now I can't play my music from my sister says I have 5 authorized, have tried to deautorize all and still nothing? Do I need her to do this or how can i fix this?

If you have a graphic of iTunes and a cable displayed on your iDevice then it is in Recovery mode.
Check this to try an "exit"

Why is my video exporting out of sync with the audio?

Every time I export it (and it takes some 2 hours just to export a draft version) the video is sped up, but the audio isn't, so that the video is out of sync and at the end there's just black space with the end of the audio.
Both the video footage and the composition have the same frame rate (24p). I am exporting with Render Settings set to DV settings and output module set to Quicktime DV NTSC 48kHz
When I edit it I've been timing it to the seconds and frames because it's such a large file that I can barely RAM preview 5 seconds of it, and so it's especially frustrating that it's completely off when it exports.
Has this ever happened to anyone here?

Ahhh, right.
I'm using After Effects CS5.
The footage I'm using is in .mov format, although to be honest I'm not sure about the codec (I imported it straight to After Effects from my Canon 7D's memory card? I think it's H.264)
I also have some PNG sequences.
I used the AE Render Queue.

Slowness in the video's I view. The video is out of sync with the audio?

When I'm on a website that displays video and audio, the two are not in sync with one another. This constantly happens. Whether I'm watching a music video on youtube, or watching a discussion on yahoo finance, the problem is always there. Can someone explain why things are out of sync (video--audio) , and is there something I can do to remedy the issue? Thank you.

My laptop that had my iTunes on it has exploded (in a sense). I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?

I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?
(After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
Thanks in advance!

My videos play with video/audio out of sync in itunes, what gives?

All of my itunes video library, including those purchased from the itunes store, play with the video/audio out of sync. However, if I use Quicktime, they play fine. I just noticed this recently with the latest update to itunes.

I found the solution using google search. Basically you have to downgrade your itunes software to version 10.7 and rebuild your library. Just type in iTunes audio/video out of sync on google search and you will find the solution I am talking about. I didn't think it would actually work because supposedly apple knows what it's doing but not in this case. Why they would put out a new version of itunes that makes none of your videos play right, even ones you purchased from itunes is beyond me but I'm sticking with version 10.7 for as long as I can.

Updated FCP 5.1 to 5.1.2 - Audio and video now out of sync

I just noticed in my software update that FCP needed to be updated. So I updated the program.
Now when I open exisiting projects the audio and video are out of sync even though they appear perfectly in sync in the timeline. Has anyone else had this problem? The problem also persists when cutting clips in the timeline. I will use the razor tool to make the cut and I cut the clip on a ceratain frame in the timeline and then in the viewer the clip was really cuts a second or two later. Does anyone know what is going on?
Very furstrating to say the least. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Clay

I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.
Because the internal has more than enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. It is constantly writing files. While DV video is at the lower end of the scale, it is still asking a lot of the drive's read and write head.
I always used external drives, but we had many problems with delays and processing problems.
At the very least, you should be using FireWire external drives. USB is no good for video as it delivers data in packets, not the sustained stream that video needs. The drives must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Windows FAT 16 of FAT 32 formatted drives have file size limits of 2 and 4 GB respectively. Anything larger is segemented and can cause problems on a Mac.

ITunes audio/video drifts out-of-sync

I have for a while been having problems with watching videos I have downloaded from the iTunes Store on my PC. I'm running windows 7, all my drivers are up to date, and the videos play fine if I open them up in Quicktime. If I watch them in iTunes, however, the audio and video get out of sync rather rapidly... If I watch a show in iTunes, I need to pause and restart it every 30 seconds or so, otherwise it just becomes too annoying to watch. Clicking pause then play again syncs it back up, but again it doesn't last long. I open the files in Quicktime and they play just fine, and considering iTunes just uses Quicktime for video playback, the problem must be with iTunes. I have gone through several iTunes updates, hoping with each one that the problem gets fixed, but it never does... can anyone help me??

Also been experiencing this for some time now, win7 x64 and same sort of pc specs to all you guys, fixed it just this evening so hopefully it's not just a fluke!
Two things to do, first in quicktime preferences, audio tab, under the sound out field, rate change too 44.1khz, size to 16 bit and make sure channels matches you windows default. Now you need to make sure your audio driver software matches these settings (as that is the software that controls the sample rate and bit depth in shared mode); mine is realtek HD audio manager, so for anyone else who has that, go to the default format tab make sure it is '16bit, 44100hz (CD Quality)'.
I'm not a big expert on this so I can't say why itunes suddenly has a problem with these settings or why it makes a difference, I just hope that this fix works for you as well because I have been looking for a solution online forever and it's driven me insane!
Good luck!

Audio and Video are Out of Sync

Hello,
This seems to be a reoccurring problem for me and I'd love some help getting it resolved once and for all. After capturing footage, the audio and video are out of sync in the clip AND when I drag it to the timeline. When I go through each part, it looks like the video hesitates often, which seems to be causing the misalignment of audio. But, once it is moved into alignment, it goes out of sync again throughout the remainder of the one hour video.
I'm capturing through a Canon Optura 50 Mini DV and editing with FCP 6.0.1. I have checked that the audio mode is set to 16 bit on the camera, and the capture settings have the audio rate for 48 KHz.
This same problem occurred when I was capturing another event last week.
PLEASE advise. It won't get aligned even if I take the hours and hours to move the audio left and right frame by frame.
