![]() If I restart MusicBee and iTunes without restarting windows it still performs the sync quickly so it's windows caching that is speeding it up, not something with either program. If I restart the PC and do a full sync it takes 22 minutes again and thrashes the HDD. (I assume because whatever info it's accessing got cached by windows in the first sync.) I do another full sync straight after, no HDD activity occurs and the sync takes less than 10 min. I do a full sync, HDD gets thrashed and it takes about 22 minutes for 36,000 songs. So here is what happens when I do a sync and no sync changes need to happen, it's just going through the database to check if something needs to be synced. If the files have previously been synced the HDD shouldn't need to be accessed at all if metadata refresh is disabled. I'm not sure why as technically the sync process is just sharing information between the MB database and the iTunes database (both stored on NVME C: drive). Disabling metadata refresh certainly makes it faster but the mechanical drive where my music is stored still gets thrashed during the sync but only the first time. No matter what I do, I can't stop the sync process from accessing the actual media files (track files). Just a note about some of the estimates I have listed previously for sync times, I may have been a bit optimistic due to file caching (I think). Just tick the delete files option, untick the "confirm deletion" box then untick the deletes option again. This version will throw an error if you have "delete files that are not on the auto-sync list from the device" unticked but the "confirm deletion" box is ticked, like in the picture below. End of the day it's not a huge deal, the plugin still works fine, it's just a display issue. The logic above will assume 50 tracks need to be deleted instead of the required 150. User unticks the playlist of 150 tracks and ticks another playlist of 100 completely different tracks. Tracks in itunes - 200 made up of 2 playlists of 50 tracks and 150 tracks. Something like the following would trigger it. In certain situations this logic will fall over and the progress bar will go over 100%. It's not perfect but it's the best I can do without a major rewrite (I'm sure this time). If tracks to be deleted is less than zero it's assumed to be zero. The basic logic is No of Tracks in iTunes - Tracks to be synced = Tracks to be deleted. The best I can do is make an assumption on the number of deletes based on the number of tracks to be synced and the number of tracks in iTunes. The counts displayed will now be more accurate (not include playlists) and deletes are handled a little better but still not perfect. If you see an error code when syncing, find out about iTunes or Finder error codes.I've updated the plugin again. If you click “Erase and Sync” in that message, all content of the selected type on your device will be erased and replaced with content from this Mac. Your device can only be synced with one Apple Music or Apple TV library at a time. If you see a message stating that your device is synced with another library, this means your device was previously connected to another computer. When your Mac and device are on the same Wi-Fi network, your device will appear in the Finder sidebar and will be synced automatically over Wi-Fi whenever it’s plugged into a power source. You can now unplug your device from your Mac. Scroll down and select “Show this when on Wi-Fi”. Select your device in the sidebar of the Finder window, then click General on the right-hand side. When your device is connected to your Mac via USB, you can set up your Mac so that future syncing will be completed over Wi-Fi instead. You may then be asked to authorise your computer. If syncing doesn’t start automatically, click the Sync button. After you’ve turned on syncing, more syncing options will become available.Ĭlick the Apply button in the bottom right-hand corner of the window. In the example pictured, “Sync music onto iPhone” will turn on music syncing. On the right-hand side of the window, use the row of buttons below the name of your device to select the type of content to be synced, such as Music or Photos. ![]() ![]() Select your device from the list in the sidebar of the window. On your Mac, click the Finder icon in the Dock to open a window in the Finder. Use a USB cable to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your Mac. To keep Messages, Mail and Notes up to date across devices, you can set up iCloud for Messages, iCloud Mail and iCloud for Notes. Instead of using the Finder, you can use iCloud Photos, Apple Music and similar services to keep content from your Mac in the cloud and available to all of your devices - even when they’re not near your Mac. ![]()
