Unable to synchronise videos, but not music automatically

I have a large collection of music that resides outside of my itunes library, and I only want to put it on the iPod; The itunes library choice is not one I would like to make, because I do not have much space left for the music. What can I do?

iTunes can only add content to a device if it is "known" to the library. If you make sure "Copy to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is not checked under Edit > Preferences >Advanced then you can add content to the library from where it happens to be rather than creating copies in the media folder.
I don't recall if syncing or manual managment of music and videos have always been tied together but if not they certainly have been for some time. Either you manually manage the device or set it up to sync automatically with selected playlists and specific content.

Airplay works for phots and video, but not music on 2nd gen touch

Upgraded to 4.2 on 2nd gen touch. I can send photos and videos/movies to AppleTV via Airplay, but not music. I can select AppleTV when playing a song on Touch and the music stops playing from Touch, but never plays from AppleTV. Audio works just fine for movies sent to AppleTV.
Anyone else experience this?
Support told me that this feature is not supported on 2nd gen Touch and I'd have to buy a new Touch. The Apple website says feature is supported. A second call to support and they said it is. ?????

Im having a similar problem where after a period of time I can get neither my iPhone 4 or iTouch 2G to see the Air Tunes speakers on my Airport Express base station. Always works fine from my computer's iTunes though. What I found works is powering off and rebooting the phone / iTouch (not just locking it). When it reboots go to your music and maybe you'll see the Apple TV or Airport Express icon appear now. Works for me anyways. After a while, they will "forget" and I need to reboot the phone again to find it. I think there are kinks in the 4.2 iOS that need to be sorted out.

Apple TV streaming videos but not music from iTunes

My ATV (latest updates) will stream video (and audio from that video) from my itunes on my MacBook Pro, but no music from the music section of itunes. I'm not on a VPN or anything. I can see the ATV option from itunes and I can select it for a split second, but then it defaults back to the computer speakers with no sound ever going to ATV. My ipad and iphone stream perfectly well to my AppleTV. My accounts and home sharing are all set up OK. Music is currently checked and playing on Mac. Why will it stream video (and the audio that is with the video), but no songs?
Thanks for any suggestions!

If your ATV is connected by wi-fi, switch it to an Ethernet cable and see if that solves the problem. If the wi-fi NIC is failing it will start dropping the network connection at random and that will cause it to drop out of iTunes.

Manually managing videos but not music?

My laptop hard drive is almost full due to the fact that I have little space left for music and video after all my programs and files are factored in. Now, I am planning to purchase an external hard drive to put all of my videos on but I was wondering if I removed them from their location on my laptop if they would be removed from iTunes (as in, iTunes can't find them). I want my laptop to automatically update my music, but I want to manually manage the video on it. Is this possible? The only option iTunes gives me is to manually manage both.

I don't think you understood what I was talking about... I want to take the videos off of my laptop hard drive and move them to an external hard drive, but I want the music to automatically sync when I plug in my iPod, but the videos to be put on manually by me because they won't be located on my hard drive with the music.

Remove all apps from multitasking bar. Double click Home button then tap and hold an icon and tap on little x on every app. Then reset. Hold down Home and Power button until Apple logo appears.

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x. vista could see xp home share. ipod touch could see xp home share.
neither could see vista home share.
after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions. itunes was already in my vista exception list. on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
it worked for me, i hope this helps others

Being allowed to import music to itunes but not music videos?

Why can you import music you own to your itune collection but not music videos that you own?

You can, you just need to make sure that your videos are in a Quicktime-compatible format (.m4v or .mp4 work best), then drag the files into your iTunes library. You can then find them in the Videos section and showing the information of the file will allow you to indicate that it is a music video (as opposed to a movie or TV show) and that will allow you to access the video in the music library.

ITunes does only sync photo's but not music and video. Help please

I have loaded ios5 on both my iPad and my iPhone4. For about a week, all worked fine and i restored my music, video's and photo's. However since about a week, music and viceo's are removed from the iPhone. That was after the change from summer- to winter-time. And iTunes does not want to sync them back to the phone. On my iPad all is still there. I looked at my settings and the only difference between the iPad and the iPhone is that on the iPhone i see a switch for iTunes Match, but that does not work in my country yet. When i look in the left column of iTunes i see my music marked under the musicdirectory of my iPhone, but with a sych mark. ( the little circle). So i can add and remove photo's, but not music or video items. Has anyone an idea what to do?
By the way, all my other stuff(agenda, notes etc.) are synched thru iCloud.

Are you viewing on 'Videos' or did you find it in your music list?

Hi i am putting photos in my project it will play the videos but not the photos never had a problem before

If you haven't tried re syncing the apps using iTunes..
Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

Rodney
I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
or
b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.

I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload an Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc related

I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload a Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc and other related office documents?

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

Why cant I add songs in my itunes library. I can still add movies but not music, Why cant I add songs in my itunes library. I can still add movies but not music

Recently, I can no longer add songs in my itunes. I can delete it or move the songs into playlist but adding songs doesn't work anymore. I can still add photos and movies but not music. Please help me solve this issue.

I have a master iTunes file that contains all the music that I or my children have bought and then my own collection within the file. That song, 'Mercy, Mercy Me/I Want You' is gone from both lists
Nabitnak, Not sure what kind of master file you are keeping, but the song file is probably in your backup.
Why is that song not available on iTunes? I can get it on Amazon.
The iTunes Store, like any retailer, does not have 100% of all existing items. But anyway, if you can buy it on one store, it hardly matters why another store does not have it.
The coincidence of my missing song and iTune's missing the same song is beyond suspicious.
Maybe, although if you have a backup it should be there.
To address the other part of your question, "I can find it on You Tube, why not iTunes?": Youtube has content that is uploaded by users. Music retailers such as iTunes have content that they are licensed to sell as downloads. The two things have nothing to do with each other.

I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.
