Unable to sync back ratings from Touch to iTunes

Hello all,
I am unable to sync the ratings I have on my iPod Touch back to Itunes. Any guess?
I am using Windows Xp, iTunes 7.5, manual syncing

No, you can't stay in manually managing your music. You would be syncing. I have "Sync only checked items" selected on the summary page just because I uncheck holiday music during most of the year. You create whatever playlists you want (or use existing ones). When your iPod is connected you'll uncheck Manually manage music and videos. On the subsequent tabs, you select sync selected playlists and in the box below, check of the playlists that you want to sync. Be sure to press Apply in the lower right corner when you're done.
Yes, I can confirm that the ratings will transfer to the library. Playlists entries are simply pointers back to the actual file.
I haven't used iPodRip in years, though I remember it being an okay program.
I'm just not a fan of manually managing music. It's too much work. However, I recognize that other people have different preferences. Best of luck.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:

    I am unable to sync my contacts from outlook in xp to my ipad 3 have followed all instructions without success.  Can any one help

    Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
    Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
    Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes.

    I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes. I have windows 8 and have updated everything on my computer and followed all of the tutorials for syncing. My ipod is recognized and my itunes says "ipod sync is complete" but I dont have any music on my ipod still... Help Please!

    You probably need to set up automatic syncing.  If you have not set up anything to sync, iTunes will still sync, but sync nothing.
    If you "updated everything," you probably have the new iTunes 12.  Connect the iPod.  Look on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), and click the "device button" (it looks like the connected device).  This shows the iPod's "management" screen.
    In the sidebar (along left side of window), under Settings, click Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.  Check the box for Sync Music, which enables automatic syncing for Music.  NOTE:  If that was box not checked already, and you manually added songs to the iPod previously, any songs on the iPod now that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    Below that, if your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on your iPod completely, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library. 
    Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select what you want to sync from the lists of playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  The "capacity bar" at the bottom of the screen shows you how much space on the iPod you are using.  A convenient way to do this is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put only the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Then, on the iPod's Music screen, only select (checkmark) the those playlists, under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod based on your selection on the iPod's Music screen.  Going forward, changes in your iTunes music library sync automatically to the iPod (based on how you set up the iPod's Music screen).  If you selected playlists to sync to the iPod, to update songs on the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes.

  • When you purchase another apple product, which set up do you use? New, back up from iCloud or iTunes?

    Which set up do I use when another apple product is purchased? New, back up from iCloud or iTunes?

    It depends on if it is a replacement for an older device.   If so, then set-up as new from backup. 
    If you are using both devices, they can be set up as separate devices, yet sync information through your iCloud account.

  • I lost my  password, how do i recover my back-up from my computer (itunes)s

    I lost my  password, how do i recover my back-up from my computer (itunes)?

    If you forgot the passcode for yur encrypted backup you are out of luch.  You will have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod if you want to restore from backup in the future.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • Is it possible to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library?

    Hi,
    I am having trouble in setting up sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
    Config :
    Mac OS - Latest update 5/6/09
    iTunes - Latest update 5/6/09
    Apple TV - Latest update 5/6/09
    I am able to either sync OR Stream from my iTunes library but not sync AND stream from the same iTunes library
    Let's say i want to sync :
    Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
    Add Library (Not shared for Syncing)
    Enter passcode in iTunes and select the items to sync
    After sync is complete
    You can see photo, music & video in My Photos, My Music & My Videos.
    Let's say now my Apple TV is full
    So like to stream some other content
    Now
    Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
    Add SHARED Library
    Passcode is shown in apple TV but not able to Enter it in iTunes (click to set link is not there next to Apple TV item under devices)
    To get that you have to right click the apple tv from the devices and select don't sync.
    You will get a message saying that all content in apple TV will get deleted.
    If you say yes then only the passcode screen for streaming is presented.
    So i am not able to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
    Any idea?

    1. The checkbox for "show only synced content" should be unchecked

    2. No need to Add Shared Library
    correct
    3. After syncing is complete as per the steps said before, if i have to see a synced content i go to My Movies for streamed content i have to go to Shared Movies?
    no... both synced and streamed content show up all together. there is no way to tell what content is synced or streamed when looking at it on the appletv. it is seemless as in there is no difference in how it is presented.
    you also need to make sure you are using "custom sync" rather than "automatic sync", as you can't select the "show only synced content" box when using "automatic sync".

    Hello Zuhaib,
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes.  I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this.  I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

  • I am unable to sync my playlist from computer to phone

    shows up in the playlist, all the boxes are checked, it is instructed to sync, i've gone from individual songs to checking the entire library ... and it still says unable to sync, 26 songs missing.
    I've about had it.  If there truly is an answer, i would sincerely appreciate it.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Problems syncing back apps from my iPhone (coming from 2 Apple-ID accounts)

    Hi. I was previously purchasing my iPhone apps with an OLD Apple-ID.
    Some months ago I had to create a NEW Apple-ID (for reasons I'm not going into detail with).
    So far so good:
    The apps I had purchased with my OLD and NEW Apple-IDs lived happily together on my iPhone and synced perfectly with my MacBook.
    …Until now:
    I had to reformat my MacBook, and afterwards I tried to sync back the apps sitting on my iPhone. I've logged in and out of both accounts a few times and now, from what I can tell, I'm left with a few random apps from NEW and OLD accounts – and a very large chunk have just disappeared.
    Logging out of the NEW account and logging in to the OLD account, then trying to sync my iPhone again, doesn't make any difference: I only have a FEW apps remaining – some of which are new and some are old, i.e. from both accounts (including both free and purchased apps).
    I'm thus concerned to know if I've just lost a VERY large amount of purchased apps… and if I've shelved a smaller fortune's worth of cash in the toilet, so to speak.
    (Note: prior to formating the MacBook, I stored a backup of the apps in the form of .ipa files on a secondary harddrive. Can I retrieve those files into my new account somehow?)

    Not sure why your Mobile Applications folder didn't reside at the first level within the iTunes folder. This is where my Mobile Applications folder resides and I'm pretty sure that is the default location for the Mobile Applications folder. I'm not aware there is an option for changing the default location for the Mobile Applications folder.
    One big issue remains: the settings & application's saved media didn't seem to stick from my backuped .ipa files when syncing back to the device again. (Or at least not with the one Brushes 1.ipa file in my test.) Are iOS program settings & saved media stored inside each .ipa file, or do you know where it's located otherwise?
    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app on your computer. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The iPhone's backup is stored completely separate from the iTunes Media location or folder.

    One workarwound is to do the following:
    1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
    2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
    3. Add the files back to iTunes
    This seems to fix the problem for me
    Hope this helps
