Usb sync ios 8

AAnyone finding this glitchy now. I still like using manual usb sync but since ios 8 it is hit and miss whether playlists copy over to the phone. Also the playcount for various songs in iTunes is rocketing with each sync. Some of my songs increased by several hundred plays. It's forced me to switch on match on my phone which I dont like as I only use this on my Apple TV. I prefer tight control of the music on my roaming device.

it it syncs ok first time and transfers music / playlists but subsequent attempts refuse to move new playlists and artists even if I check them under the iphone music tab in itunes. I tried restoring my iphone a couple times and same scenario repeats itself. are you not seeing playcount on some songs rocket with each sync? One track I had only listened to a few times rocketed from 5 playcount on iTunes to about 1000 plus after a few sync attempts. I am not really looking for a technical fix as the only thing that would sort it is a new point ios update but I wonder if others notice the same quirk especially the skyrocketing playcount on some songs. I like the historic playcount feature so it's frustrating that ios 8 is messing it up. I keep resetting the playcount on the offending tracks and having to spend time returning them to what they were

TS1627 Syncing Calendar from my iTouch via USB (sync services) is intermittently unreliable. I'm positively not interested in iCloud. Anybody in the same boat?

Today's immediate problem, described below, appears to be solved for the time being, but I expect recurrence based on past experience. I am not sure whether iCal, iTunes, sync services, or some combination are implicated. Does anyone know how to improve USB sync reliability? Is there a magic utility that can spot and repair trouble, or is there a more reliable system out there? A paper calendar maybe
Tonight I discovered a few events that hadn't made it from my iPod touch to iCal. Then I tried creating a couple new events and synchronizing. They remained on the ipod, but would not show up in ical. New events created in ical did get to the ipod though, quite consistently.
I eventually reset and restored my itouch. And reset sync services using terminal:
% /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsyn c.pl full
Finally I can get new calendar events entered on my ipod to sync to my mac again, but those that failed to sync before still refuse to show up in iCal. They just have to be deleted and re-entered... assuming I can find them all, which I cannot do with certainty, because I can't easily figure out how long the problem has been going on without me realizing it. I'll probably miss an appointment or two, make a few friends and colleagues unhappy. Again.
Current system details: Synching my iPod Touch (gen 4, iOs 6.latest) to my zoomy retina MBP, running 10.8.4. It's an all-apple setup, no third party apps or hardware involved.
The usual/recurrent problems I've seen with syncing the itouch to iCal are:
Events modified on the ipod will be unchanged in ical. Or more rarely, the other way around.
Related to the above, a dialog box will occasionally pop up asking me to resolve sync conflicts. Sometimes lots of them. Usually my ipod has it right, and iCal hasn't caught up. I wish all the errors were caught this way, because it's pretty easy to correct errors by clicking through this interface.
Events entered on the ipod fail to appear in iCal, or vice versa.
Events get replicated, sometimes repeatedly with subsequent sync. They multiply like tribbles.
I generally muddle through using Apple's help pages, run through a few suggestions from the forums (thanks all), and after a long night of resetting various things in various ways, the bit rot is at bay yet again. A month or two down the road, things go wrong in some slightly different way.
Most of the time I have a positive user experience, but it seems the sync zombies are always lurking just beyond the light of the campfire. Is Apple paying attention to sync services anymore, or have they put all their resources into iCloud? I have no interest in iCloud. I don't want another email address to get spam, and am not comfortable keeping my data in the cloud.

Never mind. Turned iCloud on, then off, on the iTouch - then the expected option appeared in iTunes.

Itunes won't tranfer data to my iphone during the usb sync

To make a long story short, my laptop was stolen a few weeks ago and the itunes - iphone sync won't run properly on my new computer.
The details: Installing itunes and connecting using my Apple ID, I downloaded my previous purchases (music, apps, etc) from the itunes store, and then attempted to run the sync with my iphone. Note that I was still running the older version of ios at that point in time. I have since updated to ios 5, and my contacts, photos, and text messages have been restored. I attempted to complete a usb sync but it's still not working. The sync "finishes" in a matter of seconds without transferring my purchases to my iphone. Help!
I understand that the sync over wifi is a possibility, but I am having trouble connecting to my office wifi network at the moment. Any advice on how to successfully complete a usb sync?
Thanks!

Wifi and USB sync doesnt work with iTunes 12

Mac Pro running Mavericks
iTunes 12.0.1.26
iOS 8.1.1 iPhone 6 plus
(other ipads iOS 7, etc etc)
wifi and USB sync doesn't work for my iPhone running iOS 8.1.1. The device doesn't even show up listed anywhere in iTunes! iPhoto does show the device
and I've been able to save off photos from my phone.
I will point out that when connected via USB cable my phone does display a pop up asking if it should trust the computer it is connected to. I, of course, answer yes.
Likewise other iOS devices in the house (3 ipads) running iOS 7 and iOS 8. Non sync at all via wifi.

i've emailed them but there's no update required.
iTunes is the problem
iTunes might be the problem but doubtful Apple will change it to "fix" VL plugin.
And VL is looking at the problem.

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

IPhone Docking Station with USB Sync port AND Clock/Radio/Hi-Fi Function?

Anyone know of any?
Had a quick google, just got shown loads of cradles.
Anyone seen any with all or most of the features I listed in the subject field?
(Main ones being USB Sync & play music through)
So that I can keep my phone in the one place and sync it from there.
(Obviously I know you can't sync and play music at the same time)
Or anyone know of any other similar solutions?

Airport Express USB port does not support data - only printers. You need the Airport Extreme if you want to share a hard drive.
I'd be interested to know if you can achieve your goal with one AE, although I'm starting to suspect that you need two AEs or you need to connect your original non-apple router to the AE via an ethernet cable. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong.

Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync with BMW car's COMBOX

My recently purchased Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync works very well with the PC and TV. I bought it to connect to my BMW car's COMBOX interface which is designed to connect to Apple products.
It doesn't even power up and BMW fails to recognize iPod, same combox works well with the original usb sync cable which came with the iPod but that doesn't have AV out so can't play music and video to the head unit. I think this could be due to low power coming from the car's USB, am I right to think this? If yes what options have I got to fix this? Can I supply additional power to iPod?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm afraid that's to be expected in most cases, you need to turn your TV speakers off.

USB Sync stopping Windows 7 upgrade

When I purchased my Compaq CQ5110F (Vista) it was just immediately before Windows 7 came out but my previous one crashed so I couldn't wait and was given a Windows 7 upgrade package. As Vista suited me and I've been working with it until now ok but decided to take the plunge and upgrade. I've done all of the updates, backups, whatever, and went to install just now and it's telling me that the HP USB Sync is stopping the upgrade, although when I printed out the whole 12 pages of the compatability report, that wasn't specifically mentioned. I had previously had an HP Ipaq which was syncd to the computer but I uninstalled it yesterday as I no longer use it. When I look in the Sync Center there is nothing in there and I can't find anything that just says USB Sync - so now I'm stuck with the upgrade, it won't go further and I don't know what to do - other than abandon the upgrade, can anyone help? I'm off work at the moment so it seemed the ideal time to do this ... Many thanks.

I've finally managed it and everything seems to be working well without removing any further things, and re-installing -with the exception of Quickbooks 2010. I did get it to open but there was a constant box saying Windows was trying to configure QB but was failing. I'm closing it down and see if it does the same thing tomorrow but am I correct in assuming I'll need to uninstall it - that always makes me nervous.
A further question nothing to do with tech things - when I first registered it said I was a guest, now it says I'm a student, I didn't put that in and don't see where I can change it in the profile??

USB Sync with 3rd party Software

Seem like Verizon is determined to press using it's restrictive syncing technique with MS Outlook. I guess they still want to compete with Outlook. There is an issue with USB sync with the Droid X.
Android OS 2.2 supports TETHERING, but Version does not. By allowing tethering, 3rd party software can sync with the Droid X via USB.
Why is Verizon restricting a feature so many business users want? To compete with Apple, Verizon should wise up and support its user communit to allow easy syncs with Outlook (Contacts, Notes, Calendar) at the subdirectory level. Business people will not post their sensitive information on the Google site in order to sync with their phone.
Wise up Verizon! You are missing an opportunity in your battle with Apple!

Hi Nitsan
You need to contact Oracle to see if they can help you. Supporting a Discoverer installation without a support number (CSI Number) is not the right thing to do. You need to pay up and buy the necessary support so that you can get the help you need.
Having said that, Oracle do produce lists of certified operating systems and platforms etc and you will not have a lot of luck if you go outside those boundaries. I'm not saying that you have but usually if their product works on one platform but not on another it is usually something at the platform end that is causing the problem. In this case the first place I would look is to see whether there are any settings within the 3rd party security software that can be applied to tell it that anyone running Discoverer inside IE is allowed to do so.
It may be as simple as allowing JInitiator to work. You may also want to try using the Sun JRE instead to see if that helps.
I strongly recommend you buy a support license. You can buy these relatively cheaply and they can be purchased in groups of I believe 25 requests (could be a different number) thus keeping the cost down. If you yourself are an independent consultant you can buy your own support license and use that to get help for your clients.
Best wishes

USB/Sync Cable

My iPhone 3G is not one year old yet, but the USB/Sync cable that came with it is ripping on both ends exposing the wire underneath. Is this covered under warranty?

it is covered by apple care. i have had to have mine replaced twice not for the same issue

USB sync cable different for CDMA and GSM version phones?

I recently ordered a USB sync cable for Iphone 4S from ebay. I want to know whether the USB sync cable for Iphone 4S is different for CDMA and GSM version phones? And if they are then what are the likely consequences if they are interchanged and used inadvertantly.

All recent iDevices use the same type of connector/cable.

FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
Good Luck!

Is there a way to sync IOS 7 with Itunes 10.7?

i made a mistake of upgrading IOS 7 on my ipod and now it won't sync with my Itunes 10.7.. There's no way I will ever upgrade to POS Itunes 11. Does anyone know a way to sync IOS 7 with Itunes 10.7 ??
<Re-Titled By Host>

No. Once your devices are running iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later...
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

Putting pressure on BB/Rim to reintroduce USB syncing with Microsoft Outlook

Is there some way that we can put pressure on BB/Rim to reintroduce USB syncing with Microsoft Outlook? I work in a world where over-the-air or cloud services are unacceptable because of the security risks, either real or perceived. I know there are many other people like me. I can't believe that, after having made such monumentally stupid and high-profile mistakes in the past, BB/Rim has now decided to alienate so many loyal BB customers by dispensing with such a simple transfer mechanism. The Z10 is a beautiful machine but the lack of synchronicity is getting in the way of my doing business. Judging by some of the posts I've seen, there are quite a lot of others who feel the same way. Assuming that BB/Rim executives were not drunk, stoned or brainstem dead when they came up with this stupid plan to do away with USB syncing, is there any action we can take to make BB/Rim aware of the rapidly escalating damage they are doing to their own brand? After all, if the Z10 fails, it's difficult to see what long-term future there will be for the company anyway, so you would think that BB/Rim wouldn't want to chuck their future away, would you?

The best way is to call O2 and ask for this issue to be escalated to BlackBerry Tech Support, they need to hear from the carriers as well.
