When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

Title says it all,
when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.

Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.

I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

How do you sync more than one itune at a time to your ipad?

how do you sync more than one itune at a time to your ipad?

Not sure what you mean?
More than one song?
You can sync with one and only one computer/itunes library at a time. If you sync to another it will erase the current content.

HT1688 when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them? I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook,

when you double tap the home button to go back to your other apps are those apps always running and using cellular data even if I am not currently using them? I thought it froze them and didn't use data other that a select few apps like Facebook, email, etc. Also I always select no when I download an app and it wants me to have those push notifications. Because that would mean that I would have to delete my apps after everytime I just them from that bar and that would be very annoying and just stupid. Or maybe apps do use data and it's just a big scheme to make everyone go over on their data plans.

When you sync an iPod touch, does it backup pictures

Because iTunes is telling me that I have to restore my 4th gen. iPod touch, I'm wondering does it backup everything every time you sync your iPod?

The backup that iTunes makes does inclide photos taken by or saved to the iPod. It does included photos synced to the iPod and other synced media like apps and music.

How do you manage tracks on your iPod using iTunes 7 ?

Hi - On iTunes 7 what would be the best way to manage tracks / albums on my iPod.. It was so easy before but so complicated now, when I connect my iPod, iTunes just comes up with some sort of summary page. I can Sync but I can’t see any way of bringing up all the tracks on my iPod, then manually adding or deleting the tracks. I don’t wish to keep all of the tunes on my iPod but would like to keep some of them in my Library. I don’t want to delete tracks in my Library then sync but this seems like the only option?
Thanks for any help!

I have just found out how to do this:
Connect your iPod:
Under DEVICES you will see an arrow (on the left hand side, next to your IPod. If you are unable to display your songs the arrow will be pointing to the right. By clicking on this arrow it will point down, all of your songs will appear. Under Preferences uncheck Auto Sync then you can manually add / delete.

Music sync to ipod using Itunes 7.3.1 sounds like skipping cd

Hello,
I have an older 12" PowerBook G4. Since installing the latest Quicktime (7.2) and iTunes(7.3.1) any music that I sync with my iPod sounds like a skipping cd. The music on the iPod sound like a skipping cd for a short time and then just skips to the next song. The next song of course does the same thing. The music sounds fine when played back using iTunes. The music is encoded as a MP3 using VBR. All of the music I have previously encoded (before iTunes 7.3) and put on the iPod continues to play just fine (using the same MP3 and VBR settings). I have tried resetting my iPod, but that did not help. Only having USB 1.1 ports and am not too excited by ideas that involve syncing 40GB of music back onto my iPod.
Any ideas what has changed in the latest software version or what can be done? It would grand to carry some new music to work.

So, the music sounds like a skipping cd and then shortly just skips onto the next song. In Itunes I selected the skipping songs (which happen to play fine in Itunes) and used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu, deleted the skipping songs from my iPod and then added the freshly converted versions of the songs back to the iPod. This worked. No skipping and the songs played all of the way though. Why do I have to convert an mp3 created by iTunes to an mp3 using "Convert Selection to MP3" in order to make things work?
I do not think that is the problem.
I use a laptop with limited hard drive space. After iTunes rips my cd's into mp3's I copy the mp3 files to an external hard drive, deleted the songs from iTunes and re-add them from the external hard drive using the "Add to Library" option under "Files". I did this fora couple of cd's. Then I deleted the corresponding songs off of my iPod and re-added them. The songs on the iPod again sound like a skipping cd before just skipping on to the next song.
One more time, I used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu to convert the skipping songs. This time I just left them in the iTunes Music folder on the internal hard drive instead moving them to the external hard drive. After deleting and re-adding the songs to my iPod the songs played fine.
I do not use an "iTunes Music folder" on my external hard drive and like to organize my mp3's to my likings.
The question now is, why can't mp3's be moved from the "iTunes Music" folder on the internal disk to an external disk? I do not have enough room on my internal disk to carry around my music and still accomplish work.
I had been using the method described above for years without problems.

Copying congs off your ipod using itunes

just a thought
If i were to install ITunes on a new PC,
then load the ipod in disc mode and specify the music folder on the ipod to be imported to itunes,
then consolidate the library, would that work for getting all the songs onto the pc?

Try this. I've done it on several Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.

When I try to sync my ipod to itunes it automatically backs up my ipod.

Which when it trys to back it up it freezes. Is there a way to sync my ipod without backing it up? My ipod has been connected to itunes for over 18 hours and has made no progress.

Try deleting or moving to a save place the existing backup file. It is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You have to have Show Hidden files turned on.
You can just delete it by going to Preferences in iTunes and deleting the backup by going to the Devices tab.

Back up your iPhone.
When you have a backup, erase your iPhone.
Restore your iPhone from the backup you just made.
I've completed those steps multiple times but I still have yet to see the message saying it's unlocked. Anyone have any idea why this isn't working for me? Do I need a new SIM card from another carrier to make it work? I'm using my old SIM card from AT&T because that's all I have right now. I can't think of anything else that could be causing the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!
You need to restore the phone (that is, iOS), not the backup. Those instructions have always been ambiguous. After iOS restores you should get the unlocked message, and you can then restore the backup (it should prompt you to). And you need to wait "long enough" after you got the instructions; it can take several days.

How or can you sync older ipods with Itunes Match?

How or can I sync my second generation IPod with ITunes Match?

For iPods, iTunes Match only works with iPod touch, because it is an iOS device (like iPhone and iPad). Even for iPod touch, it must be 3rd or 4th gen (running iOS 5 or later).

HT1657 When you rent a movie from iTunes does it need to be on coverflow and not grid?

I can't watch any TV shows/Movies/Music Videos unless there on my Ipod . The picture shows up fragmented and when the video does show up the sound is distored.

If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into its Videos app, and you should be able to watch it without being online - though some people have posted that they need to be online when first starting to watch a rental, so you may want to watch a few seconds whilst you have internet connection (you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires).

ICal calendars no longer syncing to ipod using itunes after Snow Leopard

Help! I upgraded yesterday to the new Snow Leopard and I can no longer sync my calendars to my ipod 5G. I do not have an iphone and this is the only way I can see my calendars. Did Snow Leopard "update" the calendars so that iTunes can no longer see them? I get the error message that there is no calendars available to sync, when indeed, I have 10. Please help!

Hi, some more information...
I worked with Apple on the phone for three hours, to no avail.
the troubleshooting steps are as follows:
1. deleted from HD/username/Library/Caches the "com.apple.ical folder"
2. deleted from HD/username/Library/Preferences the file "com.apple.iCal.plist"
3. deleted from HD/username/Library/Calendars the "Calendar Cache" file
4. removed and reinstalled itunes
5. "restored" ipod to factory default settings
6. exported, deleted, and re-imported all calendars (individually)
7. plugged in ipod and tried to sync calendars - still not working...
This issue has been escalated up...
After seeing many posts with ical issues with Snow Leopard, I think I am not alone...
None of this has helped

Photo folders being duplicated when I sync from iphoto using iTunes

I have lots of photos in albums and have only a few selected to sync with my iphone5 in itunes. The sync works ok, but I think I'm getting duplicates of the photos. Each folder I have selected shows up in the iphone PHOTOS app seprately, plus each photo shows up in the default PHOTO LIBRARY folder on the phone. I'm not sure if the photos are actually duplicated, but I thought the iphoto folders would be created as-is in the PHOTO LIBRARY folder? Am I reading the documentation wrong or am I doing something wrong? Are these photos on my phone twice, taking up extra storage?

That's the way it works, & there is nothing wrong. iPhone organizes photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos synced to your phone appear in your "Photo Library". The photos in the various albums/folders are not duplicates, rather they are pointers to the actual photos, which, again, are in your Photo Library.

When you connect your itouch to itunes does it save your photos/notes from your ipod?

My itouch recently froze, i was told the only way of saving it is to reset it to it's original settings. I have important photos & notes on there that I can't lose. When you connect your ipod to itunes does it save that information?
Please answer this if you know the answer. I need to get this figured out.

Unless you can connect the iPod normally to your computer and get the photo and notes to the iPod without restoring the iPod. It sound like that can't be done.
Just what have yout ried?
- Resetting will not delete anything and may all connecing the iPod to your computer and geting your stuff.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
