The option to sync with Safari isn't available.
iTunes Version: 10.4.1.10
iOS Version: 4.3.5
Desktop OS: Win7 64 Ultimate
Attempting to sync my safari bookmarks to my iPad but when I go to Info->Other->Sync bookmarks the drop down menu doesn't list any browers as available sync sources. [See attached screenshot] Why doesn't iTunes detect safari?
Note that this function works fine with the same desktop and my iPhone 4.
And of course you post it and you find the solution. Turns out it was related to an iTunes sync error. Here's the fix
Unplug iPhone and close iTunes
Open task manager and kill the process SyncServer (for good measure kill any “Apple” process)
Browse to “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\AppleComputer” and rename the SyncServices folder to SyncServices_Old
Reconnect iPhone and open iTunes.

Can anyone tell me how to access the sync apps button please? I used to be able to select it but it is no longer visible.
You have to connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes Sidebar.
If you don't see the Sidebar, toggle it on in iTunes menu View > Show Sidebar.
Take a look at this screenshot on updating apps. -
Windows 7 iCloud Sync with Safari - BookmarkDAV_client.exe
Hi,
I'm trying to activate syncronization between my iOS devices (iphone/ipad) and Safari installed on my PC.
To create context about situation i'm listing the actors of issue:
-Windows 7 Professional x64 running on Dell Latitude E4300
-iCloud utility 2.1.1 (i already downloading latest version to try fix it)
-Safari for windows 5.1.7
-Internet Explorer 9.0.10
I have installed iCloud Services aplication some time ago (some months), but not using syncronization for iOS Safari tabs and favorites. Till then, everything it's ok!
Then, i tryed to configure sync between PC Safari and iCloud. Till this moment, the "Favorites" option in iCloud services was set to sync with Internet Explorer (that was never worked). So i set to sync favorites with Safari, selecting this option in iCloud Services application for windows.
When i do that, almost immediatly my iOS favorites appears in windows safari (not the tabs), and some backgroud application become very active. Almost every 2 seconds i see my mouse icon appear the processing "circle" icon. It makes almost impossible to use the machine.
I undo the setting back to sync with Internet Explorer and this behavior stopped. I do again the set to Safari and it come back again, then i rebooted my computer, and the problem started over again, even before i try to open internet explorer or safari for windows.
Then i search what's doing use of system resources, and discovered that some "BookmarkDAV_client.exe" was using lots of resources. (file was located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\BookmarkDAV_client.exe)
I undo again the syncronization setting, goind back to Internet Explorer option, and the problem stopped.
So, i cannot activate the service to sync with safari because problem shows up. I have searched and don't find anything like this.
Anybody knows something i can do to fix it?
Thanks, and my best regards.

BrazilDid you ever get this resolved? I am having the same question, although I am not trying to sync through iCloud, just desktop to device. If you have been successful getting this to work would be grateful to hear! Thanks.

I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2. I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync. What am I doing wrong or what should I look for? Thank You
To sync your iPad over Wifi:
First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly! -

ITunes: where is the option to sync music without iCloud ????
I have 3000+ songs in my iTunes account on my mac Mini
I upgraded to iO6 and now, the only option I have to sync my music that I see is with iCloud. I no longer have an option to sync the music on my computer directly to my iPhone.
iClould doesn't work at 41,000' with no wi-fi and no cell service, or when I am camping in remote areas.
Where is the option in iTunes to sync music from a computer to a iPhone or other device?
Thanks for the help folks.Thanks sberman.
I have iTunes 10.7 (21)
I don't have Mountain Lion, and there is no option to "Sync Music" when I plug my iPhone in. I have had a Powerbook G4 since 2005, and have being using iTunes since 2005 with multiple iPods, iPhones.
There simply isn't an option to sync my music with my iPhone 4S.
I do see the ability to sync contacts, photos, but when I click on the music tab under iTunes, I see this image:
I have never seen this option before and would love to see the option to "Sync All Music", "Syn All Playlist" and "Sync Selected Playlists" or whateve the old screen options where.
Do you really think this is a iOS 10.7.5 issue vs 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?
Thank you very much for your replies.

Windows 7 64-bit with MS Outlook 2010. I've seen this now probably 10 times. When I first installed iTunes, I selected:
Preferences -> Devices -> "Prevent iPhonse, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
and on my iPhone, I selected:
Info -> Sync Contacts with: Outlook.
Info -> Sync Calendars with: Outlook
Info -> Other -> Sync notes with: Outlook
This works great, and the settings stick. As soon as apple releases any new version (even minor) of iTunes and I install, I immediately receive: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account", and have to merge my calendar and contacts, but then once I get into iTunes, I find that ALL of the above settings (prevent syncing, sync calendar, contacts, notes) get reset and are turned off! I am running as a user account with Admin privaleges, but I don't right-click -> "Run as administrator" when I perform the iTunes update.
To reiterate, once I change the settings back, things work normally until the next iTunes update at which it gives me that sync error, and resets my sync options.
Any idea? Thanks!
-BrianIs someone else using the PC and iTunes?
Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
This way it wont conflic with the other user. -
When trying to sync my iPad to my computer, I get the error "the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I only have one iTunes account, so I am a little confused. If I select the option to "Transfer Purchases, I get an error message that says "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
Any suggestions is appreciated.Have you synced to this computer before?

I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old
The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

"The iPhone is Synced with another library. Do you want to erase..."
My itunes library has a lot of music from my iPad. I want to move that music to my iPhone by managing my music "manually", but it says ""The iPhone is Synced with another library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
I read that I have to back it up, then go ahead and erase the phone, then you can add the music from the library to your phone. Is this true? Will it work?
I have backed up the phone to iCloud, but I'm worried still. How can I be SURE that I'll get everything back when I restore the phone after erasing it?
Thanks!I'm afraid the LU suffix is a new one on me.
As long as you have all of the content in your library then that remove and sync warning shouldn't cause any loss of data, but it shouldn't be happening every time. It may pay to take the following steps to reset the connection between the two,
Backup device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.
Again, this assumes all content on the device is in your library. If that isn't the case see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device first.

How do I get my burned songs on my iPod to a computer other than the one I synced with when I loaded them? I purchased a new computer and want to transfer my library to it. The only sync option I get is to erase the ipod and sync it.
By using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities -
I don't have the options to share with a friend in IPhoto.
I don't have the options to share with a friend in IPhoto. I click on the Share Icon > Photostream and the photo goes to a photostream album, however I can't create a new Photostream album or have the option to share the album with someone
Is it possible that she is syncing contacts with iCloud. If so, that could block the editing on the phone.
