Will my music disappear if I change the setting from sync music to manually manage music?
I have synced my iPod some time ago and wish to change the setting to "manually manage music". When you do this, you have to chose "Revert" or "Apply". If I select "Apply" will the existing music on my iPod disappear? I don't want to lose my music, but do wish to add some new files.
I really do not want to sync my iPod anymore.
No,

Changing the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file.
Is there a way I can change the scan setting on my printer. It is a HP Deskjet F4480. I want to change the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file. I want to scan them so I can see them on my screen saver.
This has nothing to do with Acrobat. See the documentation for the scanner software that came with your scanner.

The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes. How do I actually manage music?
Edit: classic Apple.If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music. -
Syncing podcasts while manually managing music
I want to manually manage music on this PC while syncing podcasts, but whenever I sync podcasts it disables "Manually manage music and videos" and whenever I enable it again it makes podcasts editable on the iPod.
It's nice that I can listen to podcasts from the iPod while it's plugged in since it marks it as watched on the iPod, but if I sync it first, I can't listen to music from it while it's plugged in until I enable "Manually manage music and video".
It seems to make sense that music and video shouldn't overlap podcasts since podcasts aren't music and I can store video outside of podcasts. I know there's video podcasts but right now the whole setup is more difficult to use then it should be.
Is there any way to get it to do what I want?I just discovered how to do this
I have to click into the iPod and then the Podcasts tab and then sync from there... woop-dee-doo! -
I used to have a window where I can choose what to sync on my windows laptop. Now when I open Itunes I get a window for music only so I can no longer sync my contacts, calendar, notes, etc. to my Iphone or Ipad What happened?
Assuming you're using iTunes 11, when the iPhone is connected to iTunes it will show at the top right just next to the iTunes Store button. Also by pressing Ctrl+S to Show Sidebar you will find the device in the same place it was in iTunes 10

I have downloaded audiobooks from the library using Overdrive for years. I have a new computer with Windows 8 and now it's been difficult. I have a book ready to transfer to ITunes to download to my Ipod but in order to transfer it a message came up saying go to the summary page in ITunes and check Manually Mange Music. I can't find the summary page anywhere on itUNES
The Summary screen is what you see in the main part of the iTunes window, when you select the iPod in iTunes.
To select the iPod in iTunes when the iTunes sidebar is NOT visible, there is a "device button" near the upper right corner of the iTunes window. If your iPod is the only connected device, it should say "iPod." Click it to select your iPod in iTunes.
If the iTunes sidebar IS visible (along left side of window), the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click it there to select it.
When the iPod is selected, there is a row of buttons that starts with Summary. Summary should be the initially displayed screen. That setting (a checkbox) is actually Manually manage music and videos for an iPod touch. -
ITunes - manually manage music no longer works
So I'm quite startled to find only a few topics about this without any resolution. Up until today after I upgraded to iTunes 11, I was always able to set my main itunes to manually manage music with my iphone and then go to ANY computer and add music to my iphone. NOW it wants to wipe my whole iphone library every time I try to apply the "manually manage music" option which would allow me to add music from any computer. I ask the community here - WHEN did this happen? Are we no longer allowed to do add music manually from any computer? WHATS the point of manually manage music (the whole point was that you didn't need to sync always with one comp)? I've tried wiping my iphone at two locations I often add music at with checking the manually manage music and everytime I wipe at one place then go to the other it wants to wipe again when I check the box to add music. I would really like to know if this is how it works now - meaning YOU NOW CAN ONLY ADD MUSIC TO YOUR IPHONE THROUGH ONE ITUNES LIBRARY. If so, I will be immediately uninstalling iTunes and finding alternatives. I appreciate any info or help. Thanks.
iPhone has traditionally only allowed manual management from a single library. Also once set up to sync, iDevices can only be switched to manual mode from the "home" library without iTunes wanting to erase the content. On any other library it will want to erase. Has your main library been rebuilt following a crash? This could lead to the symptoms you describe.
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.
Perhaps the reason you were able to add music from more than one computer in the past is that you had done something similar by accident rather than design...

Manually manage music but auto-sync one playlist?
Ok so basically, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to manually manage my itunes library but automatcially sync one of my playlists. The reason being is that I have on artists that constantly changes (assorted singles) which is just a collection of different artists' singles. It would be nice to have itunes automatically sync that one playlist but allow me to maintain control of the rest of the library.
Otherwise, my only way to get around this is to create a folder that contains playlists for all the albums/artists I want to sync and have itunes autmotically sync everything that folder?????It would be nice to have itunes automatically sync that one playlist but allow me to maintain control of the rest of the library.
Simple.
Uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
Select the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and Sync selected playlists.
Tick the playlist you want.
Drag the other music you want to the iDevice. -
Cannot Select Both "Manually manage music" and "Sync ringtones" for iTunes
iTunes won't let me sync when both "manually manage music and videos" and "sync ringtones" is checked. If I choose "manage music and videos" first, add my music, then check "sync ringtones" all my music that I sync'd is deleted. The only way it worked for me was to sync the ringtones first without any music in the iPhone then checking "manually manage music and videos" afterwards but the problem is that once the "manual manage music and videos" is checked the "sync ringtones" isn't checked anymore so if I decide to add a ringtone later on I have to check "sync ringtone" causing my music to be deleted from the iPhone. This is a bad glitch Apple please fix it!
If you manually manage music, to get ringtones on your phone, you have to drag them to the "actual iphone icon" in the device pane window, on the left side in itunes.
FYI:
Since the iphone DOES NOT support disk mode(like some ipods), there is no advantage to manually managing music, IMO. -
I just changed the hard drive on my computer and my music and videos that I got from my friend will not play because I don't remember his password. Any solutions????
If you are talking about your friend's iTunes password, you are not supposed to use or have his password or even his music,etc. in your computer...

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!
Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

When I run with my iPhone4, the music just keeps skipping to the next song. I'll start my music, start running, and then the songs keep changing so I can never hear a song. Songs are from iTunes and it doesn't happen when running with my iPod. Suggestions?
Go to SETTINGS - IPOD - and turn off "Shake to Shuffle"...
