Ticks and ipod sync

Hi there,
here's something i want to know more about:
When i sync my ipod with itunes, i use the "tick way" so that all the tracks with a tick next to it will sync on my ipod, i find it to be the easiest way when the ipod's capacity isn't big enough to sync all the tracks in the itunes library. But what I don't like about it is that all the tracks that aren't ticked won't play in itunes unless i expressly select and play them. So if i use the shuffle mode, for example, those tracks will never be played. How can i fix this without having to choose the manual selection of tracks to sync with my ipod (drag and drop), which is not a solution for me?

Why don't you use playlists?
Tick all the songs and leave them all ticked.
Set up a new Playlist and drag the songs you want on the iPod into the playlist.
You can drag whole Albums, Artists, Genres or just single tracks.
Then setup the sync so that only that playlist is synced to the iPod.
If you ever want different music on the iPod you delete tracks from the playlist, add new tracks and then resync to the iPod.
Musc easier than ticking songs.

Banshee and iPod sync

I've searched everywhere and it looks like I'm either the only person unable to sync my iPod (add music and playlists) with Banshee, or I'm the only person trying it.
Banshee sees my iPod - but I cannot add new files to it, and although it allows me to create playlists, the playlists don't show on my iPod.
I know there are other alternatives out there that have worked for me on Arch (gtkpod, yamipod) - but I really want to use banshee on Arch, and so far I can only get Banshee working with other distros (Ubuntu, Fedora). Can someone please help me??

also, how are you trying to transfer files onto the device? With me it will not allow me to access fat partitions saying I don't have the permissions so I need to either su or sudo.

ITunes upgrade and iPod syncing issues

I opened itunes and it said there was an upgrade for it. I installed it and when I plug in my ipod, it syncs, then when I try to sync it again, it does not. on the initial opening of itunes I noticed that windows has the ipod drive listed as "G". upon syncing it disappears. I unplugged the ipod and then plugged it back in. windows again recognizes the ipod and the ipod automatically syncs when connected so it can find it in itunes. as soon as its done syncing, again it disappears from windows. there has to be a fix for this. as far as I can tell its in the itunes software that is causing this because I have not changed any drivers. any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't want to do manual update, theres nothing else we can really recommend. You might want to invest in a cheap External drive and put all your music on it. You can get one for 100 or less if you shop around

IPhoto 5, iTunes, and iPod sync

My iPhoto Library (iPhoto 5.0.4) is located on another partion of my PB's internal harddisk than MacOS X. No problem working with iPhoto, but iTunes won't recognize the iPhoto Library, and so I cannot have it sync the photo with my iPod. Any ideas?
PS: My question is essentially the same as in thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=935191&#935191

I have also got iphoto 504 with more basic problem. How did you manage to read iTunes purchased songs on Iphoto ? I just can't and get no reply from music store assistance. My powerbook is authorized to read iTunes songs.
Thank you for your help

ICal, google CalDAV and iPod sync

I've got iCal syncing with google calendar and for the most part it is working. But for some reason the google calendar does not sync to my iPod Classic 160GB. It shows up in iTunes, and did show up once on the iPod for about a second before disappearing forever. Anybody got it working?

Simply put, it works

ITunes download and iPod sync

I have been having trouble with my iPod Classic and iTunes for months. I downloaded a new version around the begining of the 7.0 version and my iPod Classic has not been recognized by iTunes ever since. I have done all of the 5 steps with no luck. Now I have removed iTunes completly to try again. When I try to download the latest version it goes to the next screen and thanks me for downloading the program but never actually performs the download.
I'm getting pretty choked. Can anyone help me out?

I assume you mean you lost your library? If so, short answer is Yes, if you sync your iPod using auto updating those tracks will be removed from your iPod.
How did you lose the library? Perhaps those tracks are still safely on your hard drive and you just need to rebuild a new library with those files.

IMac, PowerBook and iPod sync problem

It worked before, but it will not work now.
I have an iPod 5G and a PowerBook1.5Ghz, and an intel-iMac 2.33Mhz and am running iTunes 7.3.
I just want to sync the three of them so ALL three have the SAME library, but now if I sync the iPod to the one computer or the other I get that computers library. It will no longer update the three of them to have the same songs.
ie: If I add songs to the PowerBook it will sync to the iPod and update the library in the iPod. If I add songs to the iMac it will sync to the iPod and update the library in the iPod and remove the songs I added from the PowerBook.
Is this a step back to the old ways of iTunes with the new version 7.3?

You've done an excellent job of describing exactly how synchronization works. One computer is in charge and the iPod is synced to the contents of that computer. You're trying to put two computers in charge so they take turns.

Rhythmbox and iPod sync problem

Hi, I use rhythmbox to listen to music and I have an iPod classic 80gb (it's broken it can only take 20gb now).
I wanted to add new songs from scratch on my iPod so this is what I did (after reading many problems with syncing):
-I synced my iPod with an empty playlist ( to delete all songs currently on the device)
-I dragged and dropped the songs I wanted in my ipod, it synced...
Now I ejected it and all I see is the old songs that were on my iPod before I do that, as if nothing had changed, except that I can't listen to them, it's like if it was empty.
When I click "properties" I see that I'm using 10gb on the ipod and when I open my ipod with thunar I can see the song files. I used to be able to play them on rhythmbox but not since I checked the ipod plugin in "plugins".
So I can't click sync with library because it's too big and it says current memory spend for music is 10gb but I can't listen to the songs with the iPod. It's as if my iPod was just an external hard drive with music on it unable to play it.
help please

This is late, I know. But better than nothing:
Your iPod is not recognized as an iPod but as a regular MP3-Player. This means that the songs are copied to your iPod but not written to the iPod database.
The solution is:
1) delete every file and folder from your iPod
2) delete all hidden files (including the trash) on your iPod
3) Unplug the iPod and plug it in again to restack the folders
4) Open Rhythmbox, enable the iPod plugin and restart
5) Rhythmbox now correctly identifies your iPod
6) Sync iPod by right click > Sync

ITunes and iPod sync

Hello,
I would like to sync my iTunes library to what my iPod has on it. What happen is I never managed my library and only managed my iPod because I would use the manual way of syncing. I noticed when adding artwork, deleting songs, adding songs from other computers, the library on my home computer isn't like my iPod, and I'd like to do what iTunes/iPod does under the automatic way, only have it opposite where my iTunes library automatically to my iPod with the same play count. Is this possible? I am running Windows XP with a 30 GB iPod. Everything is updated.
Thank you very much,
Garrett

Crashing issues, and ipod sync question

Hi, first off, I'm running Aperture 2.1.4 on a new MBP snow leopard 10.6.1
My first question should be easy. Whenever I plug in my ipod, Aperture opens and wants to import the photos I've put on it into a folder. How do I stop Aperture from opening every time I plug it in?
My next question is about crashing. Ever since I upgraded to snow leopard, it seems like whenever I use the retouching brush 4-10 times, aperture freezes and then force quits itself. I've sent the auto-response message that pops up to Apple every time, but I'm not expecting much to come of that. Is there anything to do to stop this from happening? Has it been documented before or am I the only one with this problem?
One final bonus question. I'm importing RAW files (from a Nikon D300) but at first the previews are very, very different. I believe this is because my camera is set to the "vivid" setting, but when I first turn on quick preview before all the images are imported, the images I look at appear very contrasty and saturated, even though I would guess the vivid settings applied in my camera are for jpgs only, and don't affect raw images at all. How and why is aperture pulling this information from the camera when it doesn't relate to the photo? I don't care if this question is answered or not, it's not a huge deal. I was just curious.
Thanks in advance!

If you sync your iPod automatically, then yes, the next time you sync to that empty library, your iPod will come up empty. It's not a good idea to use the iPod as a storage device. Eventually, you'll probably have to Restore it, and a Restore will wipe the contents. You'll need the library on your computer to resync the songs.
Why not invest in an external hard drive. They're not too expensive. Also...what file type are your songs. Some types eat up a lot more memory than others.

Vista x64 and iPod Syncing Error (Error -81)

I have Vista x54 and the latest iTunes (7.1.1.5) and just got a brand-new 30GB Video 5.5 a few days ago. I started my sync on my library, but right in the middle I get this error - "Cannot Copy To Disk "IPOD" (-81)" I already restored my iPod several times and even completely removed all traces of iTunes, QT, etc and reinstalled, but to no avail... I've been using iTunes other functionalities for some time now on my Vista x64 just fine... What should I do? Is this a hardware problem - cause this iPod is spankin' new!!

Hmmm. You aren't getting the classic symptoms of the issue, but it might be worth checking for a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC, as per the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

Exchanging photos between mac air and iPod touch

I have recently switched to using mac. I want to find out how to transfer pic from ipod touch to mac air and from air to ipod touch without using the itune sync.
Also, before i used the sync. in itune to transfer pics from mac to ipod touch before and now I have three photo album on my ipod touch that i can't delete. Can someone please tell me how to delete them?
Thank you!

You can use "photostream" in iCloud, but the photos will only stay a certain period of time in the cloud.
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
All other syncing and erasing of synced pictures has to go via iTunes, only photos taken with the iPod can be deleted inside the camera roll.

Copying personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

When I plug in my iPod and it syncs it says that a bunch of my apps cannot be loaded because my iPod does not have the latest software to support them, but I have done all of the iPod software updates and the same apps were working fine just weeks ago...?

I plug in my iPod to charge from my computer and it syncs with my iTunes, but I've been getting a message that a list of 13 of my apps cannot be loaded onto my iPod because it doesn't have the latest software to support them. I have done all the software updates for my iPod and iTunes says it is completed up-to-date. Do I need to delete the apps and redownload them or what?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

ok well like lllaass said, most apps require 4.3 or later iOS software. chances are since the apps worked before, the apps themselves got updated and will no longer work with your software version.

Syncing iPhone and ipod nano toi the same iTunes

I have an iPhone (16GB) and and Ipod nano (4GB) and about 9GB of content in my iTUnes. IS it possible to sync both these to the same iTunes library on the same pc. All the iTunes content is on the iPhone but it is too much for iPod nano. I use the two for different things for eg: the nano has nike Plus on it and I also use it for gym etc
in Effect, can you have 2 different libraries to sync with different ipods on the same PC and iTunes

Yes, you can use multiple devices with one library, I use 2 regular iPods and a shuffle (I have a friend who syncs both an iPhone and a Nano, she syncs each with it's own separate playlist). You can for instance have one sync the entire library and another sync a selected playlist or playlists. iTunes recognises each device that is connected and they can each have their own individual settings: There are several different ways to use multiple devices with one computer, you can read more heres: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
