When sync ibooks my music in music folder is deleted

I had several music albums in my music folder but after synchronizing my ibooks the music folder was empty.
And it works also the other way around. After syncro my music back to the music folder iTunes was emptying my iBooks folder.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance for your assistence.

When you sync books to the iPad is the sync music tickbox on the Music tab being left unticked, and vice versa ? I think (as I manually manage all my content I'm not sure) that they need to be left ticked, otherwise iTunes may be assuming that you no longer want that content on your iPad

  • I just dled Itunes onto my new laptop, when I synced with my music folder, all of the songs were duplicate on song list, what do I do?

    I just dled Itunes onto my new laptop, when I synced with my music folder, all of the songs were duplicate on song list, what do I do? What did I do wrong, and where do I find a manual to learn how to use ITunes???

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • Ovi Music Sync - do NOT sync all "My Music" folder...

    I am using Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 with my Nokia X6. After installing, I wanted to select a Music folder to by sync'ed with my X6, and I do NOT want to sync all files from Windows "My Music" folder.
    Under "Sync Option" / Music I can add a folder to be sync'ed.
    But pleeeeaaase - How can I disable automatic synchronization of all "My Music" files????
    The only choice I have is to say "do only sync the following playlists" - but I want to say "do only sync the following FOLDER...
    Any ideas? Is this not possible??

  • When syncing Iphone with a new itunes, does it delete everything?

    My old computer crashed and everything on it was deleted so I bought a new laptop, and I want to change the Iphone setting to Manually manage music and videos and Update my iphone 4 to 5.1.1 software, but when i click that, it says that it will delete everything on my iphone. and by everything does it mean that all the apps, music, messages, photos etc? because i got some messages and photos that I dont want to be erased. and does it also delete the progess I have on the apps? like do I have to restart the game ?

    yeah but if you have a backup of the old data you can restore it to the new laptop and it will replace the data on the iphone with the same data from the backup

  • When i import my music folder itunes puts alot of albums together in one large unknown album

    so when i go to  look for an album , they are in seperate folders in and they have titles,i have to go into the unknown album and find each track its ridiculious  theres gotta be some way i can just re import my whole library  and itunes should find each folder with seperte albums inside it and create albums no matter what the name is, for instance gd1972-6-11,  i changed the name of the folder to live grateful dead, so i should have artist name in itunes that says live grateful dead, then each folder inside that one should be albums.  idk about id3 tags they should b created during import. alot of these files ive had to convert addd album art  and so on, and theres alot of them. im trying to setup the music  for an iphone, this is my second one and the first one i suffered for years looking for certain music inside the ipod and essentially never listened to any of the unkown album jumbles cus the tracks arent in order. now i have trried get info and that has helped in some cases but the ones already inside  the largest unknown album at the bottom about 431 albums mixed up, it doesnt work  get info isnt helping on any one of these albums. im willing to delete itunes or the librarry since i have it set not to copy files and reimport but i need to know what to do for these albums to b reckognized thanks for reading and hope someone has a solution

    iTunes doesn't pay attention to the file and folder names, only to the tags. If the files are untagged you can use a third party program like MediaMonkey (Google it, the forum software won't let me post a link today) before you add the tracks to iTunes, or if you can make sure that you add them in such a way that iTunes doesn't rename and move them (turn off the Keep... & Copy... and copy preferences and don't use the Automatically Add to iTunes folder) then I have a script called TagFromFilename at
    samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp#TagFromFilename
    that may be able to apply the information provided the tracks are in Artist and then Album folders.

  • RE: freezing and resetting problems when syncing a large music library

    Hi there,
    I got a new ipod classic 160gb for christmas. I updated the firmware to 1.0.3 and synced it for the first time. When I tried to play any music it locked up and went into a loop of resetting itself which I could only break by forcing the ipod into disk mode.
    I restored the ipod and tried again syncing the music in chunks. This worked until the ipod was about 50% full then it started to freeze and reset again. I took this ipod back to the store but the new one had the exact same problem!
    Through a lot of trial and error I have managed to get the ipod working with only part of my library synced. By syncing music a few albums at a time I have managed to get about 86gb (of 120gb) onto it, but surely this is not how it is supposed to be! I have a dual boot system and have the same problems using windows XP or vista.
    I know that I'm not the only person experiencing resetting problems with the ipod classic. Are the users who are experiencing these endless resetting problems with the ipod classic those who have large music libraries (i.e over 80gb)? Can the ipod classic simply not handle the large volumes of music it was designed to hold?
    The only features I was looking forward to in the new ipod were a) larger capacity hard drive and b) the ability to organise playlists into folders on the ipod for easier browsing. As it stands I cannot sync my full library and navigating through my playlists is so slow it is hardly worth bothering. I never had a minutes trouble with my 5th gen.
    Have I been unlucky and the ipod classics I have recieved have been duds? In which case should I arrange another replacement? Or is this typical of the ipod classic user experience when the user has a large music library and many playlists? Should I await a firmware update that might remedy my problems?
    Lastly am I doing something wrong? Any help or workarounds would be gratefully appreciated.

    best thing to do is use Playlist and Smart Playliss to fill your iPod. Just so you know, since your post seemed to indicate you thought the playlists have to be tailored to what is already on the iPod, when you sync to playlists, any songs needed for those playlists are automatically moved onto the iPod. And any songs NOT in the playlists get removed.

  • Is  there a way to sync my itunes music folder with my itunes library?

    Hey, I have itunes set to add music that I drag and drop into it a folder and its been set like this for a long time.  Then I would do whatever edits to the albums info if needed.  But now I realized that my folders don't snyc with the itunes libary.
    I was wondering if there was a way update the folder the way I have my music in itunes.

    If the files are stored inside the iTunes media folder, and the option under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to Keep iTunes Media folder organized is enabled then files and folders should be renamed to reflect changes you make to the tags.

  • 2G Shuffle sync corrupted iTunes music folder

    I purchased the 2G Shuffle today, took it home plugged it in and iTunes didn't recognize it. I realized I hadn't updated to iTunes 7.0.2 (had the previous v7), so I updated iTunes to 7.0.2. When I re-opened iTunes, I got an exclamation mark next to most of my songs and a Windows message:
    "The file or directory F:\iTunes is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility."
    I have my iTunes folder on an external hard drive (F:), and when I check the folders on the drive for artists/songs, they are all gone!
    Please help!!!

    You have posted in the iTunes for Mac forums.
    Have you searched you HD for the tunes? Check your trash can.

  • Wondering if I sync my ipod music it would delete my pics.

    Ok so I have had an ipod for some time now but I had it on another computer. So this summer I got a new comp and my songs are all transfered to it but I got new songs but i'm scared that syncing my ipod with my new music will delete my pics that took forever to put up.
    ~Tisonu

    Of course it will. That's the concept of "synchronization."
    The pics were available on the old computer, weren't they? You did transfer them to the new computer, didn't you?

  • When syncing photos on my ipad3, why does it delete the previous folder?

    This is on my ipad 3 that I am having problems adding photo folders to it from my pc. Using itunes,  I chose my folder, apply....but every time, it deletes the previous folder I had added.
    I also bought a camera connection kit so to avoid using itunes. It says no pictures to import even though I know they are on the SD card.
    Getting to hate itunes more every day, thanks in advance.

    That is how it works. You need to select and sync all the photos from your computer that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • Getting XP NOT to sync MY Music folder from iTunes

    I use my laptop computer at work and at home. I have iTunes installed on it with XP Pro.
    The problem is that when I log in in the morning it sync the iTunes My Music folder. I have moved the music to the C:/ drive but the images still reside in the My Music folder. I have made the folder not shared, but it still sync the folder.
    Is there a way to get the 'Network Sync' to NOT sync with My Music folder and/or the iTunes sub-folder?
    Or is there a way of moving the information in My Music > iTunes and having iTunes look in the new location?
    Thank you for any help.

  • ITunes Music Folder Organization Inproperly

    After I imported music of the album "Wings Of Song", by James Galway, from my removable hard disk to "iTunes Music Folder" and had iTunes organized it, I discovered something that's a little bit wierd. All the music I just imported is put under the folder Compilation\Wings of Song. This means that when iTunes organizing the music folder, it unexpectedly "thought" all these music are by the artist Compilation. What is the reason? Could anyone tell me why? Thank you!

    The Compilation directory is how iTunes organizes albums that Gracenote (CDDB) considers works of various artists or collections of songs from the same artist, but differing albums (like "Best Of's" or "Greatest Hits").
    The CDDB is not always consistent, as some Greatest Hits are marked as compilations and others are not. This really irked me in the beginning as I was wondering why some of my albums went missing. At first I tried to manually reorganize and move the files, but it was cumbersome. I stumbled on the "Compilations" function and it made things much easier.
    For instance, if you have a Greatest Hits album of U2 sitting in the Compilations directory and would rather have it under the U2 directory (where I feel it better belongs), you would perform the process outlined below and the album and songs would move to its "improved" location.
    That's why you have folders in your Compilations directory. Some you may wish to keep there, some you may want to move to a more appropriate place. This is how. Try moving some of them to their Artist's folder (if you have any that would qualify).
    First check your Preferences:
    -- Advanced/General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized (on)
    -- Advanced/General: Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library (off) - change it back to 'on' after the song switch, if you want
    To move an Album from the Compilations folder after it was imported from a CD (or otherwheres):
    -- Highlight the collection of songs on that CD within the main Library
    -- Right-click, 'Get Info'
    -- Remove the 'Part of Compilation' check-mark - turn it to 'no'
    -- Click 'OK'
    iTunes will reorganize your PC folder structure, moving the songs from the Compilation folder to their Artist folder.
    To defeat a Compilation designation prior to ripping the tracks from a CD, go to 'Get Info' on the CD and make sure that the 'Part of Compilation' box is not checked. This will keep the album under its designated Artist folder.
    This is how I keep my music organized. I only want 'true' compilations under the Compilations folder, not some of the Artist's 'Greatest Hits'. You may have other desires.
