• Syncing iTunes between Apple devices without iCloud

  Hello

  I want to synchronize my iTunes between my Mac and my Macbook Air library.  I tried to connect via a cable Thunderbolt, but the icon does not appear in iTunes.  I believe to sync iTunes via iCloud, you pay a monthly subscription.  Is this correct?  Is the only way to do this via a USB port to a USB cable between the two devices?

  I use an old computer, but I don't think that file sharing can be done simply with USB or Tuunderbolt.  It can be done by using file sharing which is set up in system preferences.  Yet, I don't know that it is the ultimate solution for your desired result, particularly if you want to "sync" to your library. For iTunes on computers, there is not this function as another "synchronization" by ensuring that you have personally copied all the files from one to the other so that they are identical on both computers, or by using a common repository and only run iTunes on one computer at a time.  There are too many possibilities to list them all here, so it would be useful to have the exact details of you what you want to do (not that we can guarantee it won't be possible).  Oh, Yes, the official solution from Apple would use iCloud. Even in this case, it is not perfect sync as far as computers are concerned.  Corresponding has an annual subscription.

• sync iTunes wants to erase my iphone

  I know this is asked very often - but looking at responses I'm not sure of the exact situation that I am.

  The situation:

  A library itune on windows 10, itune version 12.4.1.6 - all iphones are 6 or 6plus on the latest ios created with a camera that was on Apple ID "A".

  1 iPhone (6) with the apple ID has been used to create and synchronize with this itune library. It still works.

  IPhone 2 (a 6 +) started with the apple A ID and I remember well sync was working (but I'm not sure)

  Then 2 Iphone replaced by apple ID B appelid

  There's a family shares Apple ID B ID apple has.

  < some time pass >

  now when you try to sync, itunes considers the iphone 2 was not synchronized to the library on the computer and ask to erase everything. It's my wifes iphone, so I don't want to compromise my weding on itune behavior

  My questions:

  1 / How can I be sure of the origin of "synchronize with the new library" iphone2 plugged. And this might be impossible - but in case an investigation is possible I am ready to dig it.

  2 / then what would be the best approach to get "iphone2/appleid 2" sync with this library providing I lack nothing that could have been purchased on ' iphone 2' or the recovery of as magically the lost link (Finally I can always dream, but who knows before you ask...) "."

  Thank you very much for any pointer - and maybe this is very well known. In this case sorry for pushing an open door.

  Best regards

  Sébastien.

• Try to sync iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my iphone 6

  Try to sync iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my iphone 6.

  Get the message iphone unusable because it requires a newer version of iTunes.

  See and download the latest version.

  That's what I've got;

  IPhone IOS9.2.1 version

  ITunes Mac version is 11.4

  iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements:

  You can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

• How to sync iTunes with iTunes ext HDD iMac?

  Hello

  I can't afford to buy the 256 GB MacBook Air, then I'm the one with only 128 GB.

  When I launched my iTunes, I pressed down option and select the external HARD disk where I put all the songs.

  Songs in iTunes external HDD has been copied from my iTunes on my iMac.

  So, how can I synchronize my iTunes in my iMac with the iTunes on my external HARD drive?

  Thank you

  What do you mean "iTunes sync in my Mac?"  You say that you no longer use the library in your computer (iTunes' incidentally is the only application), what is there to sync (and once again 'sync' has a very specific meaning of transferring the elements to and from a mobile device)?

• How can I sync iTunes without losing the music

  I'm sorry to post a question too incredibly basic, but I want to check that I erase all the music that I recently and laboriously copied from disk to iTunes.

  I have not synced with my iPod Classic for almost a year - in fact, I don't think I ever it synchronized with this computer. But I had a bad experience in the past where, instead of copying music from my computer to iPod, iTunes copied the (much less) of songs from the iPod to the computer and erased everything. Not a happy event.

  What would be my settings to make sure that when I sync the music will copy only - in a way the computer to iPod?

  If it is contained on the device that is not in your library see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device. Back up your library with Time Machine, or tools such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Synkron which can maintain two copies of a folder synchronized with each other. If you start by restoring the device that anything on this subject will be wiped, otherwise if there are purchases made on your account and that are not in your library, they must be copied into it. If there are other accounts that your computer is not authorized then purchases you will be prompted. Otherwise, you can select which can be synched to the device and it will be updated. Your library will not be affected bar any transfer purchases. If something goes wrong, that you have a backup in place to restore.

• Sync iTunes with all devices, unless memory

  I have a problem with syncing my iphone 5.

  I added 10 songs over to one of my playlists. Any yes I checked the memory of the songs, theses is less than 30 MB.
  So there is no other changes made by me to itunes. Today, I tried to sync my Iphone to get these new songs on it. But know not itunes tells me an error like: "the XY Iphone cannot be synchronized, because theres not enough memory for all objects selected (5 GB extra needed)". "

  Same thing with my Ipod Nano. I use it only for listening to music in the gym, there is nothing more about it. So I just tried to sync ipod nano to get my 10 new songs on it for my sport. But the same thing happens here: "the XY Iphone cannot be synchronized, because theres not enough memory for all objects selected (2 GB additional necessary)". "

  And I have nothing in the ipod since the last backup or synchronization has been performed. So I think that it can't be any bad action by me?
  I tried to google my problem, but can't find any solution for this problem. Solutions always say, try to remove various tricks to get more space. But seriously? 5 GB more space for the only change of 10 new songs?

  Does anyone know, what happened to me just know? Or maybe know a solution which is not a sort of trying to delete something...

  I have 32 GB of memory on my Iphone 5. And at this moment I have 710 MB of free space.

  I do the same procedure as any time. Just get new music, throw it in your playlist and sync. I've made further changes on any setting in itunes or on my Iphone.

  I tried to update my Itunes to the latest Version, but its still the same problem.

  I was thinking about getting the latest ios on my phone. Currently its IOS 9.2. But I think that they don't fix this problem whatsoever in old versions. And the problem is still on my ipod nano. Besides this I made clocks with this state of software in the past without any kind of errors. So, this could not be the point of...

  IM new in this Forum or community and the Germany. So hope you understand my problem.

  I would be grateful if anyone has an idea what is going and who knows a solution.

  Welcome, Micheel

  It seems that sometimes iTunes is unable to adjust its sums and does not account correctly for content that is already on the device. The following steps should resolve things assuming that all of the content you want in your library.

  (If it is not see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device).

  1. Backup device.
  2. Restoration as a new device.
  3. Restore the backup that you made earlier.

• Sync iTunes Playlists between Macs

  Well, if Google knows anything, then this question is moot. I searched for hours for a way to do this (see section).

  Can someone lie to Google? I want to run my iTunes with 2 computers - and here County, favorites, playlists, etc., are the same on both computers.

  Computers are at El Cap, two iTunes are up-to-date, and iTunes is on a NAS.

  Any help or thoughts appreciated.

  You probably know, but you will need to put in place a process to sync between two computers

  Someone could probably help you with a script that is triggered by a change + x minutes and synchronizes the files updated with the files on the other computer

  Don't know how easy it is it is - without doubt OGELTHORPE or Grant Bennet-Alder or Linc Davis

• What iphone sync, itunes hangs

  Whenever I try to sync to my iPhone last week, it blocks iTunes and I have to restart. I do it on a machine with the versions windows more updated to iTunes and iPhone software.i tried out authorizing and allowing the phone and still does not, any help?

  You should tell us more specifically the version of your Windows operating system, iTunes and iOS software numbers.  Say "up to date" is not informative.  For example, if you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, the version of iTunes "updated" cannot support iOS 9.

• Problem syncing iTunes for iPhone 4S

  I tried to fix this problem for a while, and I'm getting desperate.

  Even the guy on the phone to help Apple could not help.

  I use my iPhone 4S 64g with Windows 8.

  Problem is that I download a CD in iTunes on the PC. I can see and play songs downloaded on the PC only.

  When I sync, new material doesn't come to the phone. I have not had this problem until recently.

  I have "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and "Sync only checked songs and videos" checked.

  Browse the selection of playlists that you have chosen to be synchronized. Maybe they don't automatically include new content.

• How to sync iTunes movies on an iPod Nano 7th Gen?

  Hi, I'm Sam.

  I have an iPod Nano 7th Gen (software: version 1.1.1)

  I have iTunes (software: worm 12.3.2) on a HP Pavilion 15 laptop with Windows 10.

  I can sync my iTunes library of songs (imported CDs and downloaded iTunes) on my iPod.

  BUT

  I can't synchronize iTunes downloaded movies on my iPod.

  To try to get movies to sync my iPod I have:

  -In the main movie section of my iTunes (not in iPod movies or sections of the iTunes Store), I clicked on a movie and the quality of the video: on the downloaded movies, there are only two options (by default (HD 1080 p) and high definition (720 p)) while others bought but not downloaded movies are the first two options as well as two more [Standard (SD) and high definition (1080 p)].

  When I try to sync a movie downloaded to my iPod with one of the first two options of quality Video (by default (HD 1080 p) and high definition (720 p)) I get this message:

  'FILM' was not copied because video high quality SD is not compatible with the iPod "MY IPOD".

  -In preferences, store preferences. I checked the box that says 'download high-quality SD video '. Before deleting all of my library and the re - movies download.

  When you try to synchronize any re-downloaded movies, with video quality settings, I get the same message as shown above.

  -The only other thing I tried (which others have suggested) is to select the movie, and then click file - create a new Version - create iPod or iPhone version. Select the movie by clicking on it, then the steps or by clicking it and then pressing Alt and then following the steps.

  However when I tried to do I can not click "create iPod or iPhone version" because it is grayed out and cannot be clicked.

  If anyone has other ideas/improvements on ideas on how to get movies from iTunes on an iPod nano GEN 7 please let me know.

  If this can help all the movies I've tried are Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Forrest Gump and Top Gun.

  You cannot use the "Create iPod or iPhone version" command if the movie (or TV show or music video) is a purchase on iTunes Store, because the video has DRM (copy protection), as required by the content producers.  That is why the command is grayed out.

  Try going to the screen purchased in iTunes (click bought along the right side of the main screen of iTunes Store).  On the screen that is purchased for films, in the lower right corner of the window, there is a check box for Download HD when available.  Uncheck the box and find movies.  If there is a cloud for movies to download, download it.  When only the HD version is currently stored on your computer, you should get the SD version.

  iTunes might as well of both HD and SD of a movie bought in his library at the same time.  They are not presented separately, but he will say 'HD - SD"next to the name of the movie in the library list, if it has both.  Most of the SD movies should load and play on an iPod nano.
